2007-10-26 14:02  Les amis de la RDA au Canada : Horst Döhler et le Komitee Kanada-DDR face à la Liga für Völkerfreund …
Abstract : The German Democratic Republic had also a cultural policy aimed at Canada, even if this is not a well-known fact. The objective of the Liga für Völkerfreundschaft ( œLeague for Friendship between Peoples ) was to enhance the sympathy for the GDR in foreign countries. Although this policy, in Canada, was intended for all segments of the population, German-speakers, as mediators, played a key role. This is particularly the case of those who, like Horst Döhler, had already arrived in Ca …

2007-09-16 05:39  UN for Taiwan: The Kaohsiung 915 March
Michael Turton has called for pictures from yesterday's UN for Taiwan march in Kaohsiung, so here are my humble offerings. This was the DPP-organized march in support of the referendum to join the UN in the name of Taiwan. Michael has pictures from the rival KMT event in Taichung over at The View from Taiwan. We headed down from Taipei on the High Speed Rail leaving at about 1:00pm and arriving just in time for the march to begin from the Formosa MRT station in Kaohsiung. The march was huge and …

2007-09-01 18:02  Limited Knitting Content
Busy week!!! Losing all of Sunday and most of Monday and Tuesday to Ravelry - OK, lots of Ravelry time on the other days, too. Ravelry is awesome: The incredible database they are building for books, patterns and yarns; the worldwide knitting community with the forums and links to other knitters; and the speed with which it is growing and the capabilities they keep adding to the site. I don't know about other knitters, but I'd think it was a bargain if there was an annual fee in the $25-50 range …

2007-08-31 13:30  Globlogging s Explosive Growth
Today's guest blogger, Hal Licino, points to some interesting statistics on the languages of blogging and lays claim to a neologism. At the height of the Roman Empire, the single lingua franca of Latin was used as the official language of commerce and literature from Scotland to the Nile. Latin became an overlay onto the myriad languages of Europe, Asia Minor and North Africa, and citizens would either have to learn Latin, or effectively abandon any hopes of ameliorating their economic position. …

2007-08-29 08:17  Jumping through The Hoop
Every language contains the words it needs. The German word gemütlich has only a very inadequate translation in cosy, as has Schadenfreude in spitefulness. I always think that is because Schadenfreude (i.e. gloating at other people's bad luck) isn't one of the main states of mind of the Anglo Saxons and because they have a different understanding of what is considered gemütlich. The term Gemüt, from which gemütlich is derived, is well nigh untranslatable because English speakers don't deal in so …

The chaps over in Wuppertal, Germany have pulled off another successful conference: NRW07. Like last year's NRW06, this event was held in a venue that is used to seeing heavy metal and rock act performing - a far cry from the 22 speakers and 100 attendees craving for an IT community event! Also like last year, the weather was great. In the UK, we have pretty much missed the best of the summer weather, it was nice to have three days of sunshine, even if I was indoors for a lot of the time. My cur …

I think NARAL is the most useless group of DC lobbyists in world. I would never urge anyone to donate money to them. But they have an action alert that I will post: One year ago today, the Bush administration's FDA finally approved Plan B® - also known as emergency contraception - for over-the-counter sales to women age 18 and older. That fight lasted more than three years. Now, we're making sure that pharmacies across the country actually have it in stock so women can access it. The Kroger Co. …

damn trina and her kitchen! i'm joking. i'm in her physical kitchen as we both blog and she was reading back the directions to some dip (which we had in the iraq study group last night). i said, 'oh that sounds so good.' she ended up fixing some and now i'm munching down and trying to post at the same time. we're eating the dip with blue corn chips because they're the only 1s left. each week, there's always at least 1 (sometimes 2) bags of blue corn chips left. some people don't like tortilla ch …

2007-08-22 21:19  Philosophy of mind-reading, and stress
Here's a very nice post by Language Log's Heidi Harley that illustrates what happens when good noun modifiers go bad.  In the example she gives, there are three consecutive noun phrases and it's not immediately obvious how to identify heads and modifiers among them.  The phrase is "philosophy of mind reading group" - the ambiguity is between (philosophy of mind reading) (group), on the one hand, and (philosophy of mind) (reading group) on the other.  Prof. Harley's post is made more interesting …

2007-08-21 22:47  Literature series: Lopold Senghor
Greetings, literature-loving historians!  Last week we zoomed back to ancient Greece to pay our respects to one of history's greatest playwrights, Euripides.  After bathing in The Bacchae, we could use something a little more... affirming So this week, let's take a trip to Senegal, to see how a local poet became not only a founding father of an important cultural movement, but also president of his country.  I know, it's a stretch to imagine - in our land of My Pet Goat - that literary talent an …

German electronics manufacturer Grundig might be alive only in marketed name, but these Grundig branded Audiorama 360-degree audio field producing "sound spheres" go back to the future of 1970 and a revisit the stylings of the iconic Audiorama 4000/7000 speakers. Looking straight off the set of Logan's Run, these are one of the few speakers I'd purposely want visible in my home and I for one welcome their return.
