MSc in Sociology of Law
Programme overview
The Master of Science Programme in Sociology of Law is an interdisciplinary programme aimed at introducing students to the study of law, legal institutions and legal behaviour in a social context. It offers an advanced overview of sociology of law with the possibility of specialisation in socio-legal areas, such as criminal justice, criminology, legal cultures, human rights, the legal profession, governance, law and gender, law and globalisation and regulation.
The objective of the programme is to increase the students' knowledge of how the law and legal institutions work at the national and transnational levels and how they impact upon the everyday life of ordinary citizens. The programme will provide the students with the skills they need to critically examine, analyse and evaluate the interplay between socio-legal theory and practice, explore legal developments, and study implementation problems at the national, international and global levels.
The programme offers a wide range of alternative courses for the individual student within the Faculty of Social Science, providing students with deeper knowledge in their major discipline or in other fields beneficial to their research interests. Students can also choose from several courses in research method to adapt the programme to their particular interests. There are good opportunities to go abroad and take courses at one of the many universities with which we have exchange agreements. Our partner Universities in Denmark, Norway and the Basque Country offers some distance based courses which can be attended to as part of the programme.
Career prospects
The skills provided within this programme will help students to gain the deeper social scientific understanding that is required to continue their studies at the PhD level. They will also enable students to pursue careers within fields which deal with public and private inquiries, project assessments, and policy evaluation. Furthermore, the programme will provide students with the vital knowledge required of policy-makers, instructors and practitioners who work with issues related to law and legal institutions, the criminal justice system, the EU and EU regulation at the level of regional authorities and government agencies as well as within the private sector (businesses and firms) and the NGOs at both national and international levels.

Honey Mustard Grilled Salmon or Tuna Steaks
Recipe by echo echo
Salmon is my favorite "meat" and maybe my favorite food on earth. Since it's also good for you, I try to eat it at least a couple times a week. Grilled with this marinade is one of my favorite ways. If you have more fish and more than 3 people to feed, increase the amount of marinade. The preparation time is basically the marination time.
Top Review by Tebo3759
This just did not do it for me!! I'm not a great fish eater but I do like to try fish recipes sometimes. I used salmon steaks and I grilled them for 8 min and they came out a bit too shushi like for me. It was kind of mushy rather than cooked. A little longer cooking for me I guess. Not a bad recipe but just not that good for me.

Read an Excerpt
The RealAge(R) WorkoutMaximum Health, Minimum Work
By Michael Roizen
HarperCollins Publishers, Inc.Copyright ©2006 Michael Roizen
All right reserved.
Chapter One
The RealAge® Promise
Lazy? No, Just Time-Challenged
"Tell me the truth, Mike. What's the MINIMUM amount of physical activity I must do to produce the MAXIMUM health benefit?" This is a great question I'm often asked by my patients who -- busy with careers or family, with little free time to spare -- still want to safeguard their health and their futures. Perhaps you have wondered this, too. Well, the answer is now in your hands. Whether you want to regain the vigorous health of your youth, stay feeling as good as you do today in the years to come, or get into even better shape than ever while slowing your rate of aging, The RealAge® Workout will show you how.
What is the program based on? The RealAge Scientific Advisory Board has reviewed over 35,000 scientific studies on aging, over 5,000 alone on the effects of exercise on health, and has culled the wheat from the chaff. The kernels have been tested and proven (and reproven time and time again) on my patients, and now I'm going to give them to you. I will help you create a goal of how young you want to be, and design a concrete plan that will helpyou to achieve your goal.
The wonderful truth is that aging is a process that you can control. There are literally hundreds of steps you can take -- things you can do -- that will enable you to play golf, relish conversations or crossword puzzles, travel to faraway places, dance the night away, and even climb mountains until near the day you die. That, in a nutshell, is what the RealAge concept is all about.
The RealAge system:
- Allows you to know how old you really are -- in biological, not chronological, terms. (To determine your RealAge, take the test at realage.com.)
- Enables and motivates you to change your RealAge and develop the health profile of someone who is chronologically many years younger. (Today, a 75-year-old man can make his RealAge 27 years younger than his calendar age and a 75-year-old woman can make her RealAge 29 years younger than her calendar age.)
- Views health not as the prevention of disease but as the prevention of aging.
- Is based on scientific data that you can slow the pace of aging and actually reverse it. You can control which of your genes are turned on or off -- all genes do is make proteins or regulate other genes, and which of your genes are turned on is in your control.
Research has demonstrated that lifestyle choices and behavior have a far greater impact on longevity and health than heredity. And choosing to be physically active is one of the most important lifestyle choices. Unfortunately, many people think they don't have enough time to devote to exercise to really make a difference. Luckily, they're wrong. I wrote this book because I want you to benefit from what the hundreds of RealAgePartnership Medicine patients and the millions of RealAge members taught me about the minimum exercise we need to achieve the maximum health benefit. And the good news is small amounts of time can make a huge difference to your health, your well-being, and your RealAge.
Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? I thought so, too, until I saw the amazing transformations of patients -- and some strangers -- who followed the RealAge Workout plan, some for only 10 minutes at a time. (Most of the strangers became friends.)
So what is the RealAge Workout, exactly? It's simple -- a program broken into four 30-day phases that build one upon the other, slowly getting you to the physical activity that will ensure the optimal level of health for you (with the minimum necessary time commitment). Once you've completed the four 30-day phases, you will be at your best possible level of health facilitated by exercise. You'll feel great and have the energy to do all the things you love and the peace of mind to know you're taking great care of your health. Best of all, the plan is easy and fun.
Overview of the Plan
Phase 1 (Days 130): Walk 30 minutes every day -- either all at once or 10 minutes or more at a time.
- Phase 2 (Days 3160): Increase your level of activity by adding 710 minutes of strength training of your foundation muscles every other day.
- Phase 3 (Days 6190): Increase your level of activity by adding 810 minutes of strength training of your non-foundation muscles* every other day.
- Phase 4 (Days 91 Onward): Increase your level of activity with 21 minutes of stamina or aerobic exercises, 3 times a week.
Sound simple? It is. But don't let the simplicity of the plan fool you into thinking you can jump a phase, or shorten a phase to 15 days instead of 30. For important scientific and medical reasons, success is more likely if you follow the gradual buildup, order, and time frame of the plan.
For example, even if you're excited to get started and feel you could do more, don't skip Phase 1 to start strength-building exercises right away. Your muscles must undergo two specific changes to regain youth and strength. As your muscle ages, it loses the contractile proteins (that give a muscle strength) and the proteins that make the energy factory of your cells (mitochondrial -- these give your muscle stamina). To regain strength, you need to rebuild (or build) contractile proteins; to regain stamina, you need to recondition your mitochondrial functions.
By simply walking, you start doing both. If you walk 30 minutes a day for 30 days, you rebuild enough of the energy factories in your muscles to progress to safely building strength proteins. And you have to rebuild enough strength proteins so your first attempt at resistance exercise will not rip a joint or muscle apart. Therefore, Phase 1 is a necessary step. Best of all, by simply walking for 30 minutes every day, you can make your RealAge younger by 2.2 years.

So, instead of the depressing 'rock star takes some photos' syndrome, with the underlying suspicion that no one would look at these artworks if the artist weren't so goddamn famous, Steenstra highlights Byrne's interest in, for example, issues of authenticity, and traces his thinking right throjgh from early Talking Heads (critiquing Romantic rock authenticity) to his 2008 Songs Of David Byrne And Brian Eno tour, in which gospel-influenced songs were performed with minutely choreographed dance movements.

Information privacy is rapidly emerging as one of the key areas of consumer protection in our era. This conference will examine the role of contract in policing information privacy. Are private contracts an efficient regulatory tool of data privacy? Should the law incorporate mandatory protections, not waivable by consumers?

By Scott Bowles, USA TODAY
On a weekend few studios seemed interested in winning, Tangled finally toppled Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1.
The Disney take on Rapunzel took the top spot for the first time with $21.5 million, according to studio estimates from box-office trackers Hollywood.com.
The victory comes on a weekend when just one new movie opened, and it could give the $260 million animated fairy tale some momentum heading into the crucial holiday season. The picture has earned $96.5 million since its release Nov. 24.
PHOTOS: This week at the movies
The weekend also marked the first time since its release Nov. 19 that Harry Potter hasn't ruled the box office. The opening act in the double-feature finale raked in $16.7 million, which lifted its total to $244.2 million. The finale arrives July 15.
Studio executives love to crow that when a film succeeds, it does so because of its merit, not its release schedule. Yet the week after Thanksgiving is an annual wasteland for new movies.
"Studios typically avoid programming any big titles into this slot because of the big pullback on spending," says Gitesh Pandya of BoxOfficeGuru.com. "With holiday shopping getting more intense, male-skewing action films usually find an opportunity to score a few dollars in early December,"
To that end comes The Warrior's Way, a martial arts film featuring Kate Bosworth and Danny Huston. The film was pummeled by critics — just 46% of reviewers recommended the movie, according to RottenTomatoes.com — and managed ninth place and $3.1 million, well short of its $7 million projection.
The Cher musical Burlesque and Unstoppable, the runaway train thriller with Denzel Washington and Chris Pine, tied for third place with $6.1 million.
The romantic comedy Love & Other Drugs was fifth with $5.7 million.
Final figures are due Monday.

It would be disingenuous of me to write a holiday gift guide since I have sworn off gifts this year. It also feels wrong to write a "Best of 2011" list when my "liturgical year" has already ended, and shouldn't we focus more on Pagan culture than overculture? So my compromise is this: I'm going [Read More…]

Okay Sorry this wasn't put on sooner... I got a bit of stage fright the days I tried to put it on... So read it. And enjoy it. And if you're uninterested. Please do not bash me. I'm an artist. Not a writer.
Author's Note
Okay. Not proud of this page. At all. When I had my tablet. I got a bit cocky and believed I could do it without line tool. Which was really stupid. The art gradually gets better throughout the story. I promise.
I love you. 22:10, March 28, 2012 (UTC)

Harris, Harmed States, and Sexed Bodies
Sparrow, Robert
Bibliographic Citation
Journal of medical ethics 2011 May; 37(5): 276-9
This paper criticises John Harris's attempts to defend an account of a 'harmed condition' that can stand independently of intuitions about what is 'normal'. I argue that because Homo sapiens is a sexually dimorphic species, determining whether a particular individual is in a harmed condition or not will sometimes require making reference to the normal capacities of their sex. Consequently, Harris's account is unable to play the role he intends for it in debates about the ethics of human enhancement.

Fix DNS Problems
A Domain Name System (DNS) allows a site IP address (192.168.x.x) to be identified with words (*.com) in order to be remembered more easily, like a phonebook for websites. This service is usually provided by your ISP.
Clear your local DNS cache to make sure that you grab the most recent cache that your ISP has. For Windows - (Start > Command Prompt > type "ipconfig /flushdns" and hit enter). For details choose your operating system :
If you can access a website at office or from a 3G network yet it's not working on your computer, it is a good idea to use an alternative DNS service other than your ISPs. OpenDNS or Google Public DNS are both excellent and free public DNS services.

Richard & Eddie.... With exception of the Chrome gibberish still gone, the CSpace site issues returned but not as bad. Site loads in Chrome & FFox but slowly. Other links/pages within site appear to load normally. It's within the account all the sluggish issues occur. I can eventually see the Digital Proofer etc. All other sites still engage normally. Still no word from CSpace on my latest inquiries.
Richard & Eddie.... found the solution. Even though CSpace did function correctly tonight in FFox (first login attempt since last post), Chrome and Safari were still problematic. PLUS in Chrome, for first time in long time, I saw gibberish again inside the Digital Proofer command buttons. I googled this. The first hit I checked was an Extensis font management program (which I use) thread.
In that thread someone suggested they fixed this gibberish issue by turning off any ADDED fonts (such as Arial) which may conflict with similar existing System Fonts.
I checked Extensis and sure enough. I had downloaded an Arial font for a job which was turned on. I turned off this Arial, even though the System Font Arial was still a default font.
Restarted Chrome & Safari to check CSpace. NO PROBLEM. No gibberish. Couldn't believe it.
If you have any duplicate system fonts ADDED with some font management program, turn them off. They can unpredictably conflict with default system fonts causing some websites not to load properly.
Scroll down to "cnolson - Feb'14" entry.
Hope this works for you.
To Eddie's response - I also checked Netgear router. Firmware is current. Not techie enough to know if this would be an issue. thanks for comments. Based on past computer troubleshooting, almost anything missed can be the solution.
This is why I firmly feel it's CSpace issue. I absolutely have no ideas left.
Cool thanks, Eddie.
Excellent thanks very much. I will await their responses.
Hi Richard... CSpace has responded effectively to my emails of these issues by saying they are looking into it. However no solutions yet. I suspicion this... I believe they have different folks reviewing issues like this even from a single sender like me.
After each email, I received a reception confirmation from a different person each time.
In my last response, I noted this to them to have a SINGLE person reviewing all my threads/emails so they make sense rather than a new tech jumping in midstream because that's what couple responses have indicated... that they did not adequately read my first emails.
I received even further confirmation of my site issues when my client (another state on PC/Windows/IntExp) for these books said she was having similar login and site problems as I was having. This was just last night. Plus a website builder friend in MD also signed in to my book page and had similar issues with pages loading. She had to refresh several times for page to come up. And her Mac has newer OS than mine. I forwarded this to CSpace.
This is cross platform issue.
I also forwarded CSpace this site so they could see all the recent and past feedback for similar issues.
I'm not poo-pooing CSpace entirely. I still believe it's a site bug/glitch they haven't discovered yet. Until all these recent snafus, their site has worked fine.
Please inform if you have any resolutions. thanks much
I sort of fixed the problem by restoring my Linksys router to the factory settings. CreateSpace still hangs sometimes, but not like it did before. The CreateSpace site was the only site that caused problems so perhaps the router detected a security issue. I looked at the router settings and did not find a black list of sites or IP addresses, but I'm not a network expert so I might have missed something.
Anyway, I can't say for certain it was a CreateSpace issue. Can't say it wasn't either.
The web ... it's all magic.
Would you mind letting me know if you've had any action on this? I am having very similar problems and both Virgin Media and Createspace are not coming up with solutions as yet. I've tried all the usual things.
Would you mind letting me know if you've had any action on this? I am having very similar problems and both Virgin Media and Createspace are not coming up with solutions as yet. I've tried all the usual things.
I submitted this to CSpace two days ago. The agent said to expect feedback early next week. I'm hoping this is a matter of site maintenance. If so, one would think they would at least alert users as to possible site slow down.
We have just published and purchased four books. All CSpace site functions have always worked fine as long as I've used it for couple years until last night.
I was attempting to upload an edited PDF. The site began to malfunction. Site loading extremely slow if at all, then when page loads, it's unformatted.
I have wasted over two hours now trying to resolve this. Cleared caches, history trails, cookies, restarts. Nothing works. ALL other sites I go to function correctly.... website builder sites, bank sites etc. Sites with high security. ALL function normally.
I've attached numerous screen captures as confirmation.
Running hi-speed cable internet. iMac quad core. OS 10.8.5 12G ram
I noticed site performance slipping last week. Thus far I've tried Chrome, Safari, and now Firefox. None load properly the first time. I'm working off a MacBook Pro, but I tried an older MacBook Pro and experienced the same problem. Tried an Acer laptop - same deal. Went to another part of the state and tried. Same deal. The only time the site loads correctly the first time is with my Kindle Fire.
So in summary:
2 different locations and Internet providers
3 different units
3 different browsers.
Right now I need to load a new book and cannot.
Sometimes it loads, sometimes it doesn't load properly. Been like this now for at least two days.
I wonder what the problem is. I cannot reach Createspce site to order an audio Cd. Please mention all the steps which I should follow to order a CD.
Hallo, I urgently need to upload book this evening, How long will you be down for?
Jamie, are you getting a message that the DNS lookup failed? (When you've clicked on the "More" button.)
Edit: I changed my DNS server. That fixed the problem.
It is down for me, too. I just wanted to check some information.
Createspace is intermittently down for me. Been happening all day.
I can't get the page to load.
It's not loading javascript so you can't do anything on the site
failing to upload interior 5 times in a row now...
Cannot upload revised content or revised cover
slow interior upload, save button locked up not working, distribution buttons locked.
Not allowing ISBN selection, slow interior and cover upload (if at all) - it is just sitting there...
Having trouble with CreateSpace right now. Not allowing creation of ISBN or upload of content

Robert Pattinson Lands Back in LA After Hanging Tight With Kristen Stewart (PHOTOS)
Robert Pattinson touched down at LAX on Wednesday afternoon after a carefree trip to London. Guess it's back to business for the Twilight hunk!
Rob flew over to the UK for almost two weeks where he visited his friends, family and girlfriend Kristen Stewart of course.
The duo was inseparable the entire time Pattinson was in London, having double dates with Sienna Miller and Tom Sturridge, some cozy PDA-filled dinners at low-key pubs, and even mixed business with pleasure during a lunch with Rob's UK agent Grace Clissold.
Kristen has been busy filming Snow White and the Huntsman, but we're glad she got time to relax with her beau.
Our favorite couple will be reunited soon, but in the meantime check them out together on screen in the new trailer for Breaking Dawn Pt. 1.

The UK Government has announced plans to call on the security industry to contribute to an 'organisational standard' for effective cyber security management. Organisations will be invited to express their interest in submitting evidence in support of a preferred standard by Monday 8th April 2013. According to the Gov.uk website, "this call for evidence, and our subsequent selection of a preferred standard, will help businesses identify what good cyber risk management looks like and select which organisational standard to invest in."
This follows the Government's Cyber Security Strategy in November 2011, which announced the allocation of £650 million over a period of four years, in a bid to tackle cyber crime in the UK.
Matt Middleton-Leal, UK & Ireland regional director, Cyber-Ark, made the following comments:
"In an era in which the security landscape continues to rapidly evolve, and as attacks become more targeted and aggressive, cyber security should begin to be escalated to a boardroom level concern for all organisations. With this in mind, the Government's plans to encourage the industry to contribute to a new organisational standard for cyber security are certainly to be commended.
"However, while plans to generate a new organisational standard for cyber security are a positive step in getting this issue on the corporate agenda, the Government must be careful that this isn't seen as a means to increase the already extensive list of auditing requirements that many organisations are struggling to deal with. While compliance certainly plays a vital role in ensuring that organisations take responsibility for maintaining control of networks and data, this can result in a 'tick-box' mentality, in which over burdened enterprise IT teams simply strive to keep up with the evolving demands of auditors, rather than proactively assessing the security architecture in place in their business. The Government's focus should really now be on encouraging robust security measures and best practices which enable organisations to approach compliance with confidence, without compliance taking precedence as the number one priority."

Woman Dies While Midwives Watch TV?
September 8, 2011 by staff
Woman Dies While Midwives Watch TV?, A prosecutor says Burkina Faso two midwives have been jailed amid allegations that a woman left to die on the job while they watched television.
Sita August 31 Traore death sparked angry protests in which demonstrators set fire to a maternity ward.
I was expecting twins. Her husband says they all died in the clinic in the city of Bobo-Dioulasso. This was the latest in a series of deaths of women in Burkina Faso rooms for maternity.
The death triggered a rare promise by the government of the West African nation to take action.
Zoungrana Deputy Attorney Roger said Wednesday that two midwives were jailed on Tuesday and soon to trial.
Traore husband told the AP that the midwives left his wife alone in a locked room, where he died after falling from her bed.

Hawayek becomes a world champion
SOFIA, Bulgaria — All that Kaitlin Hawayek of East Aurora and Jean-Luc Baker of Edmonds, Wash., needed was to produce their best score of the season in the free dance to maintain their lead and win the ice dance gold medal at the World Junior Figure Skating Champions in Sofia, Bulgaria, last week.
To add to the drama they were last on the program.
They came through.
Skating to music from the Amelie soundtrack by Yann Tiersen, Hawayek and Baker scored an eight – two more than they needed – to take home the title with an overall total of 157.12 points.
Hawayek and Baker had finished first in the short dance with a personal best score of 66.73 points but the Russian pair of Anna Yanovskaya and Sergey Mozgov had posted a huge score in their free dance, putting in jeopardy the chances of the Americans winning the gold.
Yanovskaya and Mozgov ended up with the silver.
Hawayek, 17, represents the Detroit Skating Club and Baker, 20, represents the Seattle S.C. They train in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., with coaches Angelika Krylova, Massimo Scali, Liz Swallow, Natalia Deller and Pasquale Camerelengo.

WASHINGTON - Donald Trump is fuming at the media. He's upset they're focusing on his sexual conduct, instead of the emails being posted to the Wikileaks site. His erratic response to groping allegations hasn't helped — he's made headlines by disparaging his accusers' physical appearance; calling the election rigged; and demanding Hillary Clinton undergo a drug test.
But what's actually in those emails?

Best Of :: Sports & Recreation
Baffled Denverites who can name four current Denver Nuggets deserve some kind of prize -- a Dan Issel bobble-head doll, perhaps? -- but Juwan Howard has emerged as the star acquisition in the big midseason trade that sent whiny guard Nick Van Exel and slow white guy Raef LeFrentz to Dallas. With injured Antonio McDyess limited in terms of minutes, Howard is leading Mike Evans's semi-resurgent Nuggets in scoring and rebounds; his sheer toughness in the post has given GM Kiki Vandeweghe new hope that he can finally build a winner at the Pepsi Center -- otherwise known as Avland.
It's no easy task to buoy up the spirits of fans whose on-floor heroes are always getting their butts handed to them. But Rocky the Mountain Lion does it every night -- with astonishing acrobatics, the occasional no-look swish from half court (including one recently with a ball he boldly had Michael Jordan autograph) and a mischievous playfulness that captivates kids and grownups alike. Rocky's three-foot-long lightning-bolt tail is a triumph of the costumer's art, and even if every Nugget now on the roster goes the way of Dikembe Mutombo, the most entertaining pro-sports mascot in the country will endure: He made his debut way back on December 15, 1990, and hasn't lost a step since.
Who says white men can't jump? Not those wags on a University of Northern Colorado intramural basketball team who saw white folks jump all over their idea when the UNC hoopsters named themselves "The Fighting Whites" in protest of the mascot -- a big-beaked caricature of an Indian -- used by nearby Eaton High School's "Fightin' Reds." The Whites' copyright T-shirt designs, including a white male dressed in a suit, soon became red, er, white hot, with orders pouring in to their Web site. Charles Cuny, a Native American, hadn't planned on making a statement when he assembled the multi-racial team. "I just wanted to play basketball on Tuesdays," he explained. White on!
He's got a squirt gun, a knack for doing handstands, and an attitude, and that makes the Colorado Springs Sky Sox mascot, Sox the Fox, now entering his third year, the best minor-league mascot around. In fact, aside from Rocky (whose creator trained one of the two men who don the foxy costume), Sox is the most entertaining mascot in the state. "We love that guy," says Gabe Ross, assistant general manager and public-relations director for the Sky Sox, a Colorado Rockies farm team. "Major-league teams are a little more handcuffed by public opinion, but wobbling around and patting kids on the head can get old pretty quick." Sox has been played by two people, University of Colorado at Colorado Springs student Phil Monday and former Sky Sox grounds-crew employee Chad White, and both will be back next year. Fox in Sox, indeed.
For a school whose students make most Ivy Leaguers look like dopes, the Colorado School of Mines takes a decidedly low-brow approach to its home football games. And even though the Mines eleven once thrashed the University of Colorado (a century ago) and went undefeated as recently as the late 1930s, nobody seems too ambitious on fall Saturdays in Golden.

This project focuses on the progression of digital projection technologies over recent years. The growing expansion of digital technology has made all major film companies, such as Disney, stop producing films in 35mm and forced the hand of cinemas worldwide to scrap their film projectors and projectionists. The body of work consists of images of several different projection booths across Northern Ireland, before they went through this new transformation.
Thank You!

Sophia, suo jure Duchess of Guelders (27 September 1519 - 23 November 1541) was the only child of Charles II, Duke of Guelders and Elisabeth of Brunswick-Lunberg and in 1537 married William of Julich-Cleves-Berg thus becoming Duchess Consort of the United Duchies.
Early Life
Sophia of Guelders was born in Arnhem in the early hours of 27 September 1519. Her birth appears to have rendered her mother infertile as there were no further children from her parents' marriage. As heiress, she was well educated and grew up sympathizing with the ideals of the Protestant Reformation. By 1527, she professed Lutheranism and remarked, "When I am Duchess, there shall not be a single Catholic in my realm." However, as she became older she respected Catholics, but remained devout in her Lutheran faith. Her relationship with her mother became strained as she got older, however, she was obedient to her father. As heiress, she was an attractive prize in marriage and several proposals from the Hapsburgs between Sophia and Charles, later Holy Roman Emperor. Although Sophia showed interest, the proposal was rejected to keep Guelders from being absorbed by the Holy Roman Empire.
After the proposal from Archduke Charles was rejected, there was much need to find Sophia a suitable husband. Her mother favored a marriage between her daughter and the Dauphin of France, while her father proposed William, future Duke of Julich-Cleves-Berg. Duke William was chosen, as his territories bordered Guelders and he had his own claim to the Duchy. Aged 18, she married the Duke and became Duchess Consort. Within a month, it was apparent that the young bride was pregnant. On 16 April of the following year Sophia delivered a daughter, Isabella of Cleves. She had another pregnancy the following year, which ended in another daughter, Amalia. She and William enjoyed a loving marriage, despite it being arranged. William adored his daughters, although he wished for more children. In 1540, she became pregnant again, but she died before the child was born.
As Duchess
Soon after the birth of her daughter Isabella, her father died and Sophia became suo jure Duchess of Guelders, with her newborn daughter her heiress apparent. Eager to assure her people that she could rule, she traveled the duchy on horseback. She gave alms to the poor and prayed for many. She was sometimes referred to as "Sophia the Generous" for her tendency to donate to schools and churches. She inherited an impoverished state from wars with the Holy Roman Empire and raised taxes on the richer men. She managed to stabilize the economy and helped by buying products from many artisans.
In 1541, while pregnant with her fifth child, Duchess Sophia was riding horseback and suddenly her horse spooked and threw her from the saddle. Her husband rushed to her side and had her carried back to their palace where she was proclaimed dead from a broken neck, aged 22. Her duchy passed to her three year old daughter, who was sent to England to be raised by her paternal aunt, Anne of Cleves. Her husband retained control of the duchy and went to war once more with the Holy Roman Empire. Sophia was deeply mourned by her subjects and a extravagant funeral was arranged for her. Her husband married twice more after her death.
- Isabella of Cleves, married Edward VI; had issue
- Amalia of Cleves; died aged seven
- Sophia of Cleves; died aged 12 (twin of Anna)
- Anna of Cleves; Married Robert Veldon, Duke of Exeter; had issue (twin of Sophia)

New Zealand's conservative PM may have bowed out on a high in the polls, but to challenge his successor Labour must adopt a very different tack
Completely unexpectedly, New Zealand's prime minister, John Key, has resigned. He wasn't pushed, there was no coup. This was not a tearful David Cameron or humbled Matteo Renzi bowing out after losing referendums they never should have promised. He simply had enough, and quit with his conservative National party still hitting 50 per cent in polls after three terms in government, some 20 points ahead of Labour. Perhaps power is easier to give up when the reasons for exercising it are few.
He will be remembered as our most politically successful leader, but not for any substantive achievement. John Key's small-c conservative government managed the economy through the global financial crisis, thanks largely to a stimulus-creating rebuild after a devastating earthquake.
He didn't change very much because Labour's nine consecutive surpluses between 1999 and 2008 left headroom for National's eight subsequent deficits. Transformational policies of Helen Clark's government were largely left alone: a retirement savings scheme; a tax credit for working families; interest-free student loans; a publicly-owned bank; improved annual leave and parental leave entitlements. Not only that, John Key adopted Labour policies – free visits to the doctor for under 13-year-olds, an increase in benefit levels, and more apprenticeships.
Labour won the contest of ideas, but its strategic position has been difficult because it has struggled to own those intellectual victories. If you criticise a popular leader you look like you're criticising voters. If you don't criticise him you look weak. If you talk about the successes of past Labour governments, you're fighting the battles of the past, but if you don't mention them then the new government gets all the credit.
First Labour tried to demonise Key. He was 'shallow', 'untrustworthy', and 'a money man'. But voters saw questionable deals with favoured businesses as evidence of a wheeler and dealer who got things done.
Then Labour argued more radical policy would attract the support of a disillusioned missing million voters. Labour would win office by building improbable coalitions with Greens and an anti-immigrant New Zealand First party. Voters rejected this algebra three times, while the strategy arrested hard thinking about why Labour isn't more popular in its own right.
Voters want the government to provide public services they trust, and particularly health and education services that are effective, excellent and which spend their money wisely. They want to feel secure in their homes and streets. They want an economy that provides fairly for everyone, and gives everyone a fair go in return for a fair effort. Nothing on this list is alien to a Labour party.
What's missing are fresh and convincing ways to deliver our values. Too often, we make Labour values subservient to entrenched positions, like 'trains good, cars bad' or to wacky sidebar preoccupations like taxing sugar.
John Key maintained his popularity largely by avoiding pressing questions, which can be successful for a while because default management of the status quo is built into the conservative brand. But ultimately it fails, because the status quo is never really stable.
Labour therefore can't succeed by copying conservatives. But we do need to focus. Negatively bashing the other side, avoiding big issues and being distracted by their agenda is a trap.
We don't need to abandon our values, but we do need to modernise the way we adapt them to the world as it is today. Everywhere in the developed world Labour is being asked to re-think how working people can have a fair share of a global economy.
Our economics should begin with Thomas Piketty's observation that returns will flow increasingly to capital rather than to working people in the absence of intervention. That reality creates political territory on which conservatives will never be able to compete. We should own devolution of decision-making, because power to the people is a progressive idea. But we should not surrender what is true and moral – for example we must not blame foreigners for taking what is 'ours'. When progressives are promoting the same anti-trade, anti-globalisation goals as Donald Trump, fads have got in the way of our priorities. These are fault lines that a politically successful conservative leader has exposed for us.
This week Labour is popping champagne because their popular rival is gone. Internal polling shows voters agree that 'it's time to give someone new a go'. But in the absence of fresh thinking, voters are just as likely to see the new National party prime minister as the change they are looking for.
Josie Pagani is a political consultant and commentator
@Luc: You are quite profoundly wrong on several things.
First of all, Michael Cullen did in fact repay debt. He ran nine consecutive surpluses. That money didn't just evaporate. Every dollar of each of those surpluses paid down debt. That's by definition a surplus. GDP growth also helped the debt-to-GDP ratio, but at the end of the day it was the nice straight surpluses that did it.
Second of all, I reject your notion that paying down debt is purely a property of the right. Keynes himself, the founding faster of demand side economics argued that in good times governments should use surpluses to pay down debt, allowing them to borrow in the bad times. Arguably New Zealand should not pay down debt right now, as interest rates are so low, and infrastructure spending is badly needed. However, the notion that debt repayment is a right wing "meme" is economically ignorant, and will only tarnish the Left's economic credibility in the eyes of the general public.
Finally, the TPP. The notion that the TPP is not a trade agreement is nonsense, It is simply a broader agreement than the typical *tariffs* focused agreements of the past.
The TPP puts much focus on behind th border protectionism. For example, putting in place a regulation that every washing machine needs to be made from NZ steel, makes it impossible for Chinese washing machine firms to compete, without actually putting a tariff in place. Much of the TPP's focus is to rid the agreeing countries of such policies, to allow interstate companies to trade freely is a key feature of being pro trade.
What is more, while I am no fan of increasing copyright law, it is another trading advantage to negotiate international norms for international copyright law. In the same way that having a standard unit and measure of time between countries allows communication and transport to be made easier, having standard laws for IP makes investment in these areas significantly easier. Just as the Euro makes purchasing goods in Marseille more convenient for a firm in Hamburg, having the same law for patents in New Zealand as in the USA, Brunei and Japan makes investment from firms with intellectual property significantly easier. This is a necessary step towards supporting trade between the pacific partners.
Even if you are not a fan, extending copyright is a concession made to other countries to get our own concessions from them (behind the border protectionism and tariff reduction), a normal feature of any trade agreement is compromise.
Finally, the ISDS clause is a perfectly reasonable expectation. It does NOT allow corporations to sue the government on policy (and in fact specifically prevents toxic industries such as tobacco from having ANY legal rights. It is simply a means of enforcing contracts within the agreement. For example, if I were to sell you a chair for $10, and we sign a contract, then I give you the chair, but you don't give me the $10, I have every right to sue you for the $10. That should not change purely because you are the Ministry of Education rather than a private firm. The ISDS clause simply allows parties (government or no) to sue for breach of contract or the agreement (a contract in itself). It does not prevent laws being passed.
The point that I am making is that it is foolish to claim to be pro trade, yet reject the most important trade agreement since the GATT.
Generally a nice post, but I do have a couple of comments.
The first relates to this: "When progressives are promoting the same anti-trade, anti-globalisation goals as Donald Trump,"
Which progressives? Labour is avowedly pro-trade. Andrew Little made that quite clear, while Helen Clark's government, of course, negotiated the 'free trade' deal with China. But the TPPA, incorporating the ISDS procedures, is not free trade. The trade provisions are preferential only, and will adversely affect the poorest countries who desperately need free access to rich country markets. The IP protections are hugely beneficial for the US, since it is the owner of the vast majority of global IP, and it's ironic that voters in the US (and Trump, at least for now) are too misinformed to recognise the benefits of that fact for their own country.
My second comment is that National have replaced a small 'c' conservative with a big 'C' conservative, and, factor in Joyces' Trumpian tendencies of goodies for business interests, opportunities to weaken this new government will abound.
And a bonus comment for you, Josie, is this: you should stop buying into the nonsense of repaying government debt. Modern, advanced economy countries do not, in general, repay debt, says this B.A (Econ). The last NZ government to do so was Bolger's, and Labour inherited a public service in desperate need of funding, remember? The current debt service burden is so low, that, as a percentage of GDP, more than doubling the debt inherited by National from the Clark government, it is only slightly above the Clark level, for more than twice the nominal amount of debt. It's a great time to borrow and invest!
As an aside, it's a common conception that Michael Cullen "repaid our debt." That is untrue: nominal debt was held roughly constant while healthy (sans natural disasters recovery) GDP growth plus a healthy inflation rate simply overwhelmed the debt to the point of it fading into insignificance.
The problem is, when progressives such as yourself buy into the big 'C' government debt meme, you encourage the decline in real, percapita government spending Bill English has (quietly, with an assassin's smile) imposed on the most vulnerable.
To close, one more snippet of info: I put in an OIA request for the literature behind a 20% net debt target, and got reams of political statements in return. That is, it's bullshit. And government forecasts show net debt reducing to close to zero in the future. if we have a government hellbent on surplus and a chronic current account deficit, who do you think has to make up the shortfall. It's households, through borrowing.
But hey, I'm on your side!
And thanks for the forum.

The New Balance MT580 has been getting a lot of interesting treatments in 2014. There have been collaborations, like the one with X-Girl, and we saw a grey and navy colorway of the New Balance MT580 Revlite. This New Balance MT580 Revlite seems to essentially be a flipped version of the aforementioned colorway that we showed you last month, featuring mostly navy suede on the upper with grey, white, and off-white accents. Are you happy that the New Balance MT580 has been getting so much love recently? Let us know in the comments and pick these up today from shops like size? if you like them.
