Affliction Black Premium Cooper Jean 3 3
fashionably correct thses jeans fit perfectly and i am extremely happy with them, as far as the material, I think the quality is really well made . December 29, 2013
Not entirely sold I'm not exactly sure where to go with this one. I've probably purchased over 50 pairs of jeans at Buckle either in-store or online over the past 6 years or so. I have owned many brands and have basically settled on two (well, according to my particular tastes): Rock Revival and Affliction. My favorite parts of both have been the style, and, more prominently, the thick, substantial material. Well, not so with these. I hope the company doesn't go the route of many before and start skimping on the thread count so to speak. These feel much cheaper and almost fragile? Just OK. September 29, 2013
Pretty Good Jeans I bought these jeans in-store and they are a bit lighter in color than they appear to be online. They have a nice fit, and are very comfortable. Only a few problems with these jeans: Even when washing them inside out, the leather Affliction label on the back still seems to wear on the tips. It isn't very noticeable though. Also, some of the threaded X's came loose, but just looping them back through and stitching them fixed it. Overall pretty good jeans. Would definitely recommend them. November 9, 2012

Oh, I thought of another question:
* What is the typical plumbing guarantee on installation/labor? 1 year? 90 days?
If we go with a new system, plumbing work will likely be needed. The current system is installed in a very convoluted manner. I'd like to upgrade to 1" if we can if if that will help flow/pressure.
It would seem that plumbers of good workmanship skills should warrantee their installation for some sort of time frame. It would not be good to have everything installed, spring leaks shortly thereafter & have them say, sorry, only parts are warranteed.

Nice but took a while to recieve
Celebrate the Season Magnetic Christmas Cards Really liked the finished product. Think the concept & website is great too. I was dissatisfied with how long it took to recieve them in order to mail out to family & friends. If production time took half of what it did (it took a full 7 days) & week+ time for shipping I would have been able to get them out before Christmas. If you want to make them out for Christmas give yourself 3+ weeks time.
Vivid Colors, Cute Design
Holiday Sparkle Magnetic Christmas Cards This design turned out great in person! Vivid colors on our photos, plus the design itself is simple/clean, yet modern, which is exactly what we wanted. I liked how you could change all of the colors and fonts. Not all sites allow that, esp. for free. Thanks again!

I'm totally new to InDesign, having done all of my recent layout in Apple's Pages. (I did use PageMaker back in the early 90s, when it was still and Aldus product!) I'm using InDesign CS5.
I'm working on a layout for a book that will use three different types of notes: two sets of footnotes (one references, and a different set for annotations) and one set of endnotes for each chapter (for editorial comments). I can create drafts in Mellel that offer this sort of flexibility, but I'm at a loss for how to lay it out in InDesign.
Could anyone help me learn/figure out how to tackle this kind of layout complexity? Thanks in advance.
Sorry to disappoint you this soon, but InDesign's note features lack about everything one would expect from an otherwise advanced page layout program ... If you read Improve Footnotes Please (in the Feature Request Forum) you can see how many people ask for improvements -- the footnote function, crippled as it may be, has not changed at all since its introduction in CS2. Worse still, in that version it already had various bugs that seem to have gotten worse with the introduction of other features.
File an official Feature Request with Adobe -- the link to the Feature Request Form is in that forum discussion.
(For the record: neither separate footnote threads, nor endnotes, nor re-start numbering -- other than at '1' again -- are possible.)
Thanks for the prompt response! At very least, I'm grateful that the forums are so active. (I'm sure I'll make use of them again.)
What I'm gathering (from my own poking around and intuiting, as well as from your response) is that I would do best to lay it out the way I want it in Mellel— using the three types of notes— then export each chapter as a PDF before laying it out in InDesign. Does that sound right?
If so, here's my next question: how does placing PDFs as the primary content affect things like indexing?
If you place a PDF, for all intents and purposes youare placing an image. You cannot use the built-in index features, or even find text inside a placed PDF.
Is that true even if the PDF has a text layer? (As in, "PDF+text" as it shows up in my document type?)
Thanks very much.
As far as I know, yes, but why not place one as a test and see what you can do.
Good call— thanks, Peter.
One more follow-up: anyone using Sonar InFnote or Cross References Pro (from DTP Tools) as plugins to solve these issues? If so, two questions:
1) do both work well/easily with CS5?
2) do either or both support the robust levels of notes that I'm talking about?
Thank you, again.
One more follow-up: anyone using Sonar InFnote or Cross References Pro (from DTP Tools) as plugins to solve these issues? If so, two questions:
1) do both work well/easily with CS5?
2) do either or both support the robust levels of notes that I'm talking about?
1) I don't know.
2) I believe the answer is "no" to both...
You coulkd use Indesign's footnotes for one of your note threads, then use cross-references to do the other two threads, as described here:
http://blogs.adobe.com/indesigndocs/2009/03/endnotes_in_indesign_cs4.h tml
For all who are interested: I've found my solution.
I'll use InDesign's native footnotes for one set of my footnotes.
I'll also use Virginia Systems's Sonar Bookends InFnote plugin to accomplish the other two sets of notes— one additional set of footnotes, and one set of endnotes.
I've tested this, and I'm 95% sure it will satisfy my needs. (However, it will cost me another $200 for the plugin…)
Thanks to all who offered suggestions, especially Peter who suggested this "hack".

condo rental amenities
We have a private poolside restaurant/bar that serves great authentic Mexican food, open 9 am to 8 pm every day. We have lots of lounge chairs and ten palapas on the beach, so getting your spot by the pool or on the beach shouldn't be a problem, unlike the hotels down the beach where it's a daily battle to stake out your spot. We have 60 cable channels, 2 TVs with DVD players, a full kitchen, 24/7 security, maid service twice a week is included, reserved parking, A/C, pool towels. Walking distance to town.
activities and attractions in Ixtapa Pacific Coast
Excellent golf and tennis just across the parking lot; swimming, snorkling, surfing, scuba diving, horseback riding, hiking, jetskiing, parasailing, fishing, boating, and just relaxing on the beach are local area activities. A great day trip is to Isla Ixtapa, or to La Ropa Beach in Zihua. Town has an amazing variety of restaurants, including great Italian, sushi, American, and of course the best in Mexican fare. The dance clubs range from beach-casual at Carlos and Charlie's, to adventurous at Senor Frog's, to super chic disco, and they stay open late! The craft market in Ixtapa is great, all the same stuff you see in Zihua, but with less aggressive salespeople. Great bargains for Mexican crafts, silver, and carved marble and wood. The locals are really nice, we have only ever had good experiences with them. We visit the same vendors everytime we visit, they have become our friends, and we love supporting their art. There is a nature preserve right behind the marina that has outstanding opportunities to see exotic wildlife of all kinds.
vacation rental rates
June-November $600/week, December-April $1000/week except Christmas, New Year's, and Easter $1200/week. For stays less than a week or more than a month, please email me.

Foxcroft Wrinkle-Free Safari Shirt 17 17
perfect top and color I really love the texture and design of this top. I had looked at your catalog several times, wanting to order, but thought I could not afford it. Once I finally gave into my desired shirt/top - I love the color/design, gives a person a high degree of flexibility, so basically I have purchased about 6 tops for the price of one beautiful one. December 2, 2013
Love to Wear This Shirt! I bought this a size up (16) because of other reviews that said it ran small across bust & shoulders. It's plenty big on me and I'm large busted. This shirt is fun to wear (mine is in black & white) & I've already received several compliments on it; however, although it sheds most wrinkles, I would not say it's wrinkle free. After wearing, I just spray the wrinkles with a fine mist of water, let hang for an hour, & it's ready to wear again. I find this color coordinates with almost all my wardrobe & can be dressed "up" or "down". November 1, 2013
Good for travel I enjoyed the tan shirt so much that I purchased the black one. It is great for travel, but order one size larger because it is fitted. November 13, 2013
Pretty, but small A pretty blouse, well-made, and lightweight without being sheer. Based on the previous review, I ordered one-size up from my regular 12. However,even the 14 was a bit tight across the chest. I do have a full bust, so if anyone has this build then they should definitely consider one size larger. April 26, 2013
Nice Print Like all Foxcroft blouses I own, this one washes well and comes out of the dryer looking like it was pressed. It also packs and travels well without wrinkling. It is a lighter weight blouse, but not sheer, by any means. I usually wear a size 8 in Foxcroft blouses, but I needed a size 10 in this one. Thanks Travelsmith for now printing a warning in red under the product description so customers can size up accordingly. September 27, 2012
I like Foxcroft shirts This is the forth Foxcroft shirt I have purchased (not all on Travel Smith). They hold up well and don't need a lot of ironing. October 1, 2013
Foxcroft Safari Shirt This is a great shirt, sheds wrinkles, travels well, washes well and is very light. You can wear it closed, if you get a higher size or open with a cami. The color of the brown one goes great with tan pants and shoes. September 19, 2013
Attractive and fits well I am generally pleased with my new Foxcroft shirt. It is attractive and true to size. My only complaint is that the fabric is not the same substantial cotton I am used to in Foxcroft products. It is much thinner. Were it plain white, it probably would be too sheer for me. I haven't yet washed it, so I don't know if the new fabric will be as attractive after a wash as before. August 26, 2013

Hey guys.
I need a bit of help.
I installed iDeneb 1.4 (Leopard 10.5.6 ), on my rig specs as follows.
Abit IP35 Pro
Palit HD4870
250GB Seagate HDD for OSX alone.
Now, the thing is, I understand that there is no Driver support fo the HD4870.
1) But is there a way to just manually set the resolution to 1680*1050?
Or will I have to wait for a 10.5.7 release where ive read that the HD4000 Series will be supported.
2) Also, I can seem to get my creative X-fi Platinum to work.
Are there drivers which support the X-fi?
Thanks for an help.

George Biddle
(American, 1885-1973)
George Biddle
Hombre! Que Sin Vergeunza!
Born in Philadelphia, PA
Received a law degree from Harvard University and was admitted to the Pennsylvania Bar
Biddle went to Paris to study at the Académie Julian
Returned to Philadelpia to enroll at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts
Biddle returned to Europe to study printmaking in Munich before going to Paris
1915 - 1916
Summers were spent with the American expatriate artist Frederick Carl Frieseke in Giverny
Biddle returned to Philadelphia to pursue his career as an artist, but marriage and then service in the army interrupted his work
Biddle's marriage failed, he traveled to Tahiti for isolation and inspiration. In Tahiti he experimented with linocuts, woodcuts and lithotints, as well as painting colorful images of the island and its natives
Biddle returned to the United States and worked in New York with a group of talented, younger artists, some of whom- Marguerite and William Zorach, Elie Nadelman and Gaston Lachaise- became lasting friends. He continued to work in various media and had several successful exhibitions in New York galleries, including Wildenstein and Weyhe Galleries.
Biddle returned to Paris for two years to sculpt stone, clay, and wood and worked seriously as a printmaker again
Biddle re-married and traveled to Cuba and Haiti in 1926-1927.
Biddle accompanied Diego Rivera on a sketching trip through Mexico. Impressed by the passion and the political and social awareness of the Mexican muralists, Biddle decided to devote his own art to the contemporary American scene and to paint the social, economic, and political issues facing America
Biddle's second marriage to Jane Belo ended
George and Ira Gershwin commissioned George Biddle to illustrate the libretto for Porgy and Bess. The artist spent May and June in Charleston, where he produced a large folio of drawings of the local people involved in everyday activities from which the illustrations for the libretto of Porgy and Bess were selected.
Remarried the Belgian sculptress Hélène Sardeau. The couple spent a year in Rome working on oils, drawings, lithographs, and ceramics.
Biddle and Sardeau returned to the home Biddle had built in Croton-on-Hudson
Biddle proposed his idea of a government-sponsored mural program similar to the one he witnessed in Mexico to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. After many meetings with Roosevelt and other government officials, the Federal Arts Program was implemented.
Biddle executed his first mural for the Chicago World's Fair
He executed a mural for the Department of Justice, Washington, D.C.
1936 - 1937
Biddle had his first teaching position at the Colorado Springs Fine Art Center
1940 Biddle collaborated with his wife to execute the frescoes and sculptures for the Supreme Court Building in Mexico City
Biddle was the artist-in-residence at the Otis Art Institute in California.
Biddle received the mural commission and Sardeau received the sculpture commission for the Biblioteca Nacional, Rio de Janeiro
Biddle was appointed Chairman of the U.S. War Artists Committee and spent six months with American troops in Tunisia, North Africa recording his observations in drawings and watercolors. Many of these works were published in George Biddle's War Drawings in 1944.
George Biddle was appointed to a four-year term on the Fine Arts Commission by President Truman.
1951 - 1952
artist-in-residence at the American Academy in Rome
He was awarded the Huntington Hartford Foundation Prize which led him to be an artist-in-residence in 1955 at the Foundation's home in one of the canyons of Los Angeles, California. He spent most of the following years in Croton and travel in later years took him to Japan, Southeast Asia, India and Italy.
George Biddle died in Croton on November 6, 1973.
A one-man exhibition of Biddle's Mexican works was held at the Frank Rehn Gallery, his dealer until 1939, in New York
One-man exhibition of Biddle's Tahitian paintings was held at the Milch Gallery
Paintings created from the Charleston sketches were exhibited at the Downtown Gallery, New York
Weyhe Gallery
Biddle's work was included in exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art, National Academy of Design, Society of Independent Artists, Art Institute of Chicago, Colorado Springs Arts Center, Colorado Springs, 1939 New York World's Fair, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and Associated American Artists Gallery from 1940 to 1949.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The design team was able to help me with font sizes and made some changes to the layout as I requested. The paper turned out to be better quality than I expected. I wanted something elegant, yet simple, and this worked perfectly."
"I am completely satisfied and pleased with the design and quality of these programs. Thanks so much to the Wedding Paper Divas staff for a job well done! I know that my guests will be wowed!"
"I am very pleased with these programs. They fit all of the information I needed them to. I used them just to name the wedding party instead of the wedding ceremony because we're having a very basic ceremony and people generally like to know who's standing up there. The paper is very nice, just like the invitations. The only thing I was a little disappointed about was the top of one of our names was cut off just a little bit. It's not a huge deal and I'm sure most people won't even notice but of course I did because it's my wedding. I thought they would catch something like that while editing them. The previews I saw were too small to see it. Other than that I love the product that I got."
"Loved my programs, mine were in Spanish and they were all excellent!!! Totally recommend this website to friends. Will definitely use for any future printing projects, delivery was also much sooner than I expected. Just great! Great! Great!"
"I was a little skeptical on ordering these but they are actually better than I antisipated, not the best quality of paper but still very nice...I 'm sure for a little more you can choose a different paper stock. Over all they were great and perfect for my tables for my September 2011 wedding !!"

by Gerald Duff, University of Louisiana at Lafayette Press, 2012; 306 pages; $20
It's early in Gerald Duff's new novel that Velma Doucette tells a new tenant at her rooming house about a dish called dirty rice: "You got to get used to it, if you're going to spend anytime in this part of Louisiana. It's made up of a lot of different kinds of meat parts and whatever else comes to hand. It can be real spicy, and when you first look at it, you think it's something that might be dangerous to eat too much of. But it smells and tastes real good. You'll have the chance to eat a lot of it here."
Mrs. Doucette might just as well be talking about the Rayne Rice Birds, a minor league baseball team in the Evangeline League that has, well, sort of recruited Gemar Batiste — and his red oak bat. It is 1935 and the Great Depression. And as Gemar learns in this remarkable new novel from one of the South's true talents, Mrs. Doucette might just be talking about life as well.
Gemar is an honorable innocent (a sort of Native American Horatio Alger) who steps off an Alabama-Coushatta reservation in Texas with big dreams. Perhaps the biggest is his ingenuous notion of the good old American Dream: lead a good, honorable existence to succeed against all odds. But as Gemar labors not to commit "the worst sin a baseball club can commit," he discovers sin is relative. His season with the Rice Birds will teach him a thing or two about the baseball diamond and a thing or two about life.
Success around a Rice Birds baseball diamond is relative, too, and is fraught with unexpected detours. There's Tommy Grenier, self-serving sports reporter whose coverage of Gemar in the local paper reflects "the way white folks think about Indians." There are corrupt owners like Tony Guidry and Sal Florio, who use money to control the game: "You can't drop a nickel in a slot nowhere around here that Sal Florio don't get four cents of it." There's Mike Gonzales, Gemar's roommate, who isn't exactly who he insists he is on or off that diamond. And there's Teeny Doucette, the landlady's comely daughter, who "knew how to smile."
All of this is remembered in the voice of Gemar Batiste during the Evangeline League season that becomes his rite of passage. That voice recalls adventures — there's a cockfight that is a harrowing metaphor for Gemar's season — punctuated with accounts of the games of the season and the camaraderie of working as a team. ("I know what stories a man wants to hear. I know what satisfies him.") Gemar tries to hold to his belief that baseball is pretty straightforward. He also learns that winning isn't always about proving which team is best.
It is a complicated journey Gerald Duff sends Gemar Batiste on; yet it is a journey not so different from those taken by characters in "Fire Ants," his haunting collection of short stories, or the journey he describes himself taking in "Home Truths," his recent memoir. In a voice worthy of the best in Southern fiction, Duff makes "Dirty Rice" an exhilarating and wry celebration of the American baseball mythos and an equally fascinating riff on modern sports: "It's all show business."
But there's Gemar Batiste between us and a worldview like that. Thanks to Gerald Duff, there's Gemar Batiste and the belief that — unlike the tempting dirty rice that "smells and tastes real good" — success doesn't have to be about the money. It can be about honoring the game you're in.

Just as the Mustangs finally had a sign of optimism Tuesday afternoon, Audenried erased any remaining hope. Right on the threshold of scoring its first run and possibly tying the game, or more, Damonte sent its No. 3 and No. 4 batters to the plate. And then Audenried sat them down. From there Spanish Springs and Audenried rolled to a complete game shutout and a 5-0 Division I North win.
"Nikk was just the best guy on the mound today," Spanish Springs coach Ben Hofmann said. "He went out there and put the ball in good spots and kept their guys off balance.
"In the sixth I was naturally concerned because they're a good ball club and we were only up two and they had two on, so and we had a guy up just in case, but Nikk's pitch count was relatively low and I really felt confident that he was our best guy today on the mound. What we love about Nikk is he is ultra-competitive. He wants to compete whether it's ping-pong or racing to the fence and back in warm-ups. He wants to win in everything he does and it shows when he gets on the mound. He gets up there and he just wants to compete and he has such a tough mental attitude that it's very impressive and it can be contagious for our guys."
After Audenried fanned the final two batters of the inning and worked his way out of the jam, which was the only time a Mustang base runner advanced beyond second base in the game, the Cougars added some insurance with their bats in the top of the seventh.
Shannon Kelly started things off in the top half of the frame by legging out an infield single. A double by Matt Mannens then moved Kelly to third with a double down the left-field line before a walk to Kenny Semenko loaded the bases. Vinny Agliolo then stepped into the batter's box and ripped a 2-1 offering to the left-field fence for a double that scored Kelly and Mannens. Chase Hauder followed with an RBI single to cap the three-run inning and leave the Cougars with a five-run cushion.
"The seventh was big. With the wind blowing out to left like it was, I didn't feel safe with a two-run lead. Even though Nikk was dealing, anything can happen, so that was big," Hofmann said. "Vinny had a great at-bat. Bases loaded, he could have hit into a double play that would have sent them to the plate with some energy and then you never know at that point. Instead he hits a double and brings home two. I really think that was the final nail."
With a 5-0 lead, Audenried closed the door on his complete game effort as strongly as he started the contest, retiring the side in order. Audenried gave up just two hits in the complete game shutout, tossing eight strikeouts and walking one.
After neither side was able to score through two innings, Spanish Springs (6-3, 2-2) tallied the game's first run in the top of the third.
A pair of singles by Mannens and Semenko started the inning before a double steal moved both into scoring position. Agliolo then sent a shot back up the middle to plate Mannens and give SSHS a 1-0 advantage. A double play abruptly ended the Spanish Springs' threat.
In the top of the fourth, Mannens stepped to the dish and belted a solo home run over the left-field fence to push the lead to 2-0.
On the day, Mannens led the way with a 4-for-4 effort, including the homer and a double with three runs scored. Agliolo was 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI, while Hunter Pinto was also 2-for-4 with a pair of singles.
Spanish Springs will now host Reno on Thursday at 3:45 p.m.

Year Zero
A History of 1945
Ian Buruma - Author
add to cart
- Hardcover: $29.95 add to cart
A marvelous global history of the pivotal year 1945 as a new world emerged from the ruins of World War II
Year Zero is a landmark reckoning with the great drama that ensued after war came to an end in 1945. One world had ended and a new, uncertain one was beginning. Regime change had come on a global scale: across Asia (including China, Korea, Indochina, and the Philippines, and of course Japan) and all of continental Europe. Out of the often vicious power struggles that ensued emerged the modern world as we know it.
In human terms, the scale of transformation is almost impossible to imagine. Great cities around the world lay in ruins, their populations decimated, displaced, starving. Harsh revenge was meted out on a wide scale, and the ground was laid for much horror to come. At the same time, in the wake of unspeakable loss, the euphoria of the liberated was extraordinary, and the revelry unprecedented. The postwar years gave rise to the European welfare state, the United Nations, decolonization, Japanese pacifism, and the European Union. Social, cultural, and political "reeducation" was imposed on vanquished by victors on a scale that also had no historical precedent. Much that was done was ill advised, but in hindsight, as Ian Buruma shows us, these efforts were in fact relatively enlightened, humane, and effective.
A poignant grace note throughout this history is Buruma's own father's story. Seized by the Nazis during the occupation of Holland, he spent much of the war in Berlin as a laborer, and by war's end was literally hiding in the rubble of a flattened city, having barely managed to survive starvation rations, Allied bombing, and Soviet shock troops when the end came. His journey home and attempted reentry into "normalcy" stand in many ways for his generation's experience.
A work of enormous range and stirring human drama, conjuring both the Asian and European theaters with equal fluency, Year Zero is a book that Ian Buruma is perhaps uniquely positioned to write. It is surely his masterpiece.

There was something about my father's story which baffled me for a long time. His experience of the Second World War was not a particularly unusual one for a man of his age and background. There are many worse stories, yet his was bad enough.
I was quite young when I first heard about my father's war. Unlike some people, he was not reticent about it, even though some memories must have been painful to recall. And I enjoyed hearing them. There was also an illustration of sorts provided by tiny black-and-white photographs, stuck in an album which I retrieved from a drawer in his study for my private pleasure. They were not dramatic images, but sufficiently strange for me to wonder at: pictures of a primitive workers' camp in eastern Berlin, of my father grimacing grotesquely to sabotage an official photograph, of officious-looking Germans in suits adorned with Nazi insignia, of Sunday outings to a lake in the suburbs, of blond Ukrainian girls smiling at the photographer.
These were the relatively good times. Fraternizing with Ukrainians was probably forbidden, but memories of those women still produce a wistful look in my father's eyes. There are no photographs of him almost dying from hunger and exhaustion, of being tormented by vermin, of using a waterlogged bomb crater as a common toilet as well as the only available bath. But these hardships were not what baffled me. It was something that happened later, after he had come home.
Home was the largely Catholic town of Nijmegen in the east of Holland, where the Battle of Arnhem took place in 1944. Nijmegen was taken by the Allies after heavy fighting, and Arnhem was the bridge too far. My grandfather had been posted there in the 1920s as a Protestant minister to take care of a relatively small community of Mennonites. Nijmegen is a border town. You could walk to Germany from my father's home. Since Germany was relatively cheap, most family holidays were spent across the border, until the Nazi presence became insufferable even for tourists round about 1937. Passing by a Hitler Youth camp one day, my family witnessed young boys being severely beaten by uniformed youths. On a boat trip along the Rhine, my grandfather caused (perhaps deliberate) embarrassment among German passengers by reciting Heinrich Heine's poetic ode to the Rhine maiden, The Lorelei. (Heine was Jewish.) My grandmother decided that enough was enough. Three years later, German troops came pouring across the border.
Life went on, even under German occupation. It was, for most Dutch people, as long as they were not Jewish, still oddly normal, at least in the first year or two. My father entered Utrecht University in 1941, where he studied law. To have a future as a lawyer, it was (and to some extent still is) imperative to become a member of the fraternity, the so-called student corps, which was exclusive and rather expensive. Although socially respectable, being a Protestant minister did not earn enough to pay all my father's bills. So a maternal uncle from the more affluent side of the family decided to subsidize my father's social obligations.
However, by the time my father joined, student fraternities had already been banned by the German authorities as potential hives of resistance. This was soon after Jewish professors had been expelled from the universities. At Leyden, the dean of the law faculty, Rudolph Cleveringa, protested against this measure in a famous speech, his bag packed with toothbrush and a change of clothes in case of arrest, which duly came. Students, many of them from the corps, went on strike. Leyden shut down. The fraternity in Amsterdam had already been dissolved by its own members after a German ban on Jewish students.
But Utrecht remained open, and the fraternity continued to function, albeit underground. This meant that the rather brutal hazing rituals for new members had to take place in secret. First-year students, known in the corps as "fetuses," were no longer forced to shave their heads, for this would have given them away to the Germans, but it was still customary to make the fetuses hop around like frogs, deprive them of sleep, treat them like slaves, and generally humiliate them in a variety of sadistic games that happened to catch the senior boys' fancy. My father, like others of his class and education, submitted to this ordeal without protest. It is the way things were (and still are) done. It was, as they rather pedantically put it in Latin, mos (the custom).
In early 1943, young men were put to another, more serious test. The German occupiers ordered all students to sign a loyalty oath, swearing to refrain from any action against the Third Reich. Those who refused would be deported to Germany, where they would be forced to work for the Nazi war industry. Like 85 percent of his fellow students, my father refused, and went into hiding.
Later that year, he received a summons from the student resistance in Utrecht to return to his hometown. The reason for this remains obscure. A stupid mistake, perhaps, made in a moment of panic, or it may just have been a case of incompetence; these were students, after all, not hardened guerrilla fighters. My father arrived at the station with his father. Unfortunately, the Nazis had chosen just that moment to round up young men for labor in Germany. The platform was blocked on both sides by the German police. Threats were made that parents would be held responsible for any escapes. Worried about getting his parents in trouble, my father signed up. It was a thoughtful, but not a particularly heroic act, which still bothers him on occasion. He was transported, with other men, to a nasty little concentration camp, where Dutch thugs were trained by the SS in the savage techniques of their trade. After a brief time there, my father spent the rest of the war working in a factory in Berlin manufacturing brakes for railway trains.
This was a mixed experience, at least at first. As long as they did not actively resist the Germans, Dutch student workers were not put in concentration camps. The tedium of factory work, the shame of laboring for the enemy, and the physical discomforts of sleeping in freezing and verminous barracks even had their compensations. My father recalls attending concerts of the Berlin Philharmonic conducted by Wilhelm Furtwängler.
Things at the Knorr Brakes factory may also not have been all that they seemed. A taciturn, dark-haired man called Herr Elisohn tended to slink away when approached by the Dutch student workers, and there were others who shunned too much contact, men with names such as Rosenthal. Much later, my father surmised that the factory might have been hiding Jews.
Things got much worse in November 1943, when the Royal Air Force started its long bombing campaign on the German capital. In 1944, the RAF Lancasters were joined by American B-17s. But the wholesale destruction of Berlin, and its people, really began in the first months of 1945, when bombs and firestorms were more or less constant. The Americans attacked by day, the British by night, and in April, the Soviet "Stalin Organs" started shelling the city from the east.
Sometimes the students managed to squeeze themselves into air-raid shelters and subway stations, not a privilege allowed to prisoners in concentration camps. Sometimes a hastily dug ditch was their only protection against the bombing raids, which, in my father's memory, the students both welcomed and feared. One of the worst torments was lack of sleep, for the bombing and shelling never really stopped. There was a constant din of air-raid sirens, explosions, human screams and falling masonry and glass. Yet the students cheered on the Anglo-American bombers that could so easily have killed them and in some cases did.
In April 1945, the workers' camp had become uninhabitable: roofs and walls were blown away by wind and fire. Through a contact, possibly made through one of the less Nazified Protestant churches, my father found refuge in a suburban villa. His landlady, Frau Lehnhard, had already taken in several other refugees from the wreckage of central Berlin. Among them was a German couple, Dr. Rümmelin, a lawyer, and his Jewish wife. Ever fearful of her arrest, the husband kept a revolver in the house, so they could die together if this should come to pass. Frau Lehnhard liked to sing German Lieder. My father accompanied her on the piano. It was, in his words, "a rare reminder of civilization" in the mayhem of Berlin's final battle.
On his way to work in eastern Berlin, my father passed through the ruined streets where Soviet and German troops were fighting from house to house. On the Potsdamer Platz, he stood behind the Stalin Organs as they bombarded Hitler's chancellery with their sinister screaming noise. It gave him a lifelong horror of big bangs and fireworks.
Sometime in late April, or possibly in early May, 1945, Soviet soldiers arrived at Frau Lehnhard's house. Such visits usually implied gang rapes of the women, no matter how old, or young, they were. This didn't happen. But my father almost lost his life when Dr. Rümmelin's revolver was discovered. None of the soldiers spoke a word of English or German, so explanations for the presence of the gun were useless. The two men in the house, Dr. Rümmelin and my father, were put up against the wall to be executed. My father remembers feeling fatalistic about this. He had seen so much death by then that his own imminent end did not come as much of a surprise. But then, through one of those freakish bits of luck which meant the difference between life and death, there appeared a Russian officer who spoke English. He decided to believe Dr. Rümmelin's story. The execution was called off.
A certain rapport was struck up between my father and another Soviet officer, a high school teacher from Leningrad. Without any language in common, they communicated by humming snatches of Beethoven and Schubert. This officer, named Valentin, took him to a pickup point somewhere in the rubble that had once been a working class suburb of western Berlin. From there my father had to find his way to a DP (displaced persons) camp in the east of the city. He was joined on his trek through the ruins by another Dutchman, possibly a Nazi collaborator, or a former SS man. Since it had been several weeks since my father had had any proper food or sleep, he could barely walk.
Before they got much farther, my father collapsed. His dubious companion dragged him into a broken building where the man's girlfriend, a German prostitute, lived in a room up several flights of stairs. My father cannot recall what happened next; he was probably unconscious for much of the time. But the prostitute saved his life by nursing him back to a state sufficient to make it to the DP camp, where more than a thousand people of all nationalities, including concentration camp survivors, had to make do with a single water tap.
A photograph of my father taken in Holland more than six months later shows him still looking puffy from hunger edema. He is wearing a rather ill-fitting suit. It might have been the one he received from a Mennonite charity organization in the United States, which had urine stains on the trousers. Or perhaps it was a hand-me-down from his father. But, although pudgy and a little pale, in the photograph my father looks cheerful enough, surrounded by other men of his age, raising their beer mugs, mouths opened wide, cheering, or singing some student song.
He was back in his fraternity at Utrecht. This would have been in September 1945. My father was twenty-two. Because wartime initiations to the corps had occurred in secret, it had been decided by senior figures in the fraternity that the hazing rituals had to be conducted all over again. My father does not recall having to hop like a frog, or being too badly knocked about himself. This kind of treatment was reserved for younger boys who had just arrived at university, some of them perhaps fresh from camps far worse than my father's. There may have been Jewish students among them who had been hiding for years under the floorboards of houses belonging to brave Gentiles prepared to risk their necks. But my father does not remember anyone being especially bothered about such things; no one was interested in personal stories, Jewish or otherwise; they all had personal stories, often unpleasant. As part of their initiation to the corps, the new "fetuses" were screamed at, humiliated, and even squashed into tiny cellars (a game later known in fraternity circles as "playing Dachau").
And this is what baffled me. How could my father have put up with such grotesque behavior after all he had gone through? Did no one find this peculiar, to say the least?
No, my father said repeatedly. No, it seemed normal. That is the way things were done. It was mos. No one questioned it. He later qualified this by saying that he would have found it unseemly to have abused a Jewish survivor, but couldn't speak for others.
It baffled me, but gradually I think I came to understand. The idea that this was normal seems to me to provide a clue. People were so desperate to return to the world they had known before the Nazi occupation, before the bombs, the camps, and the murders, that hazing "fetuses" seemed normal. It was a way back to the way things once were, a way, as it were, of coming home.
There are other possibilities. Perhaps to men who had seen serious violence, student games seemed relatively inoffensive, the healthy hijinks of youth. But it is more likely that the men who took to hazing with the greatest enthusiasm were those who had not experienced very much at all. Here was a chance to act tough, a pleasure that was all the more keenly felt if the victims were people who had been through a great deal more.
This story of my father—as I said, not as bad as many others, but bad enough—was what made me curious about what happened just after the most devastating war in human history. How did the world emerge from the wreckage? What happens when millions are starving, or bent on bloody revenge? How are societies, or "civilization" (a popular word at the time), put together again? The desire to retrieve a sense of normality is one very human response to catastrophe; human and fanciful. For the idea that the world as it was before the war could simply be restored, as though a murderous decade, which began well before 1939, could be cast aside like a bad memory, was surely an illusion.
It was, however, an illusion held by governments as much as by individual people. The French and Dutch governments thought that their colonies could be repossessed and life would resume, just as it had been before the Japanese invaded Southeast Asia. But it was only that, an illusion. For the world could not possibly be the same. Too much had happened, too much had changed, too many people, even entire societies, had been uprooted. Nor did many people, including some governments, want the world to go back to what it had been. British workers, who had risked their lives for King and country, were no longer content to live under the old class system, and voted Winston Churchill out of office just two months after Hitler's defeat. Joseph Stalin had no intention of letting Poland, Hungary, or Czechoslovakia restore any kind of liberal democracy. Even in western Europe many intellectuals saw communism, wrapped in the morally cozy gown of "antifascism," as a more viable alternative to the old order.
In Asia, the incipient change was, if anything, even more dramatic. Once Indonesians, Vietnamese, Malays, Chinese, Burmese, Indians, and others too had seen how a fellow Asian nation could humiliate Western colonial masters, the notion of Western omnipotence was smashed forever, and relations could never be the same again. At the same time, the Japanese, like the Germans, having seen the vainglorious dreams of their leaders turn to ashes, were receptive to changes that were partly encouraged and partly imposed by the victorious Allied occupiers.
British and American women, whom wartime circumstances had propelled into the workforce, were no longer so content to swap their economic independence for domestic subservience. Many still did, of course, just as it took time for colonies to gain full independence. The conservative desire to return to "normal" would always vie with the wish for change, to start again from scratch, to build a better world, where devastating wars would never happen again. Such hopes were inspired by genuine idealism. That the League of Nations had failed to prevent a (second) world war did not hamper the idealism of those who hoped, in 1945, that the United Nations would keep peace forever. That such ideals, in time, turned out to be as illusory as the notion of turning back the clock does not diminish their power, or necessarily devalue their purpose.
The story of postwar 1945 is in some ways a very old one. The ancient Greeks knew well the destructive force of the human thirst for revenge, and their tragedians dramatized ways in which blood feuds might be overcome by the rule of law; trials instead of vendetta. And history, in the East no less than the West, is littered with dreams of starting afresh, of treating the ruins of war as an open building site for societies based on new ideals, which were often not as new as people thought.
My own interest in the immediate postwar period was sparked partly by current affairs. We have seen enough examples in recent years of high hopes invested in revolutionary wars to topple dictators and create new democracies. But mainly I wanted to look back in time to understand the world of my father, and his generation. This is partly, perhaps, because of a child's natural curiosity about the experience of a parent, a curiosity that grows stronger as the child becomes older than the parent was at that time. Such curiosity is especially acute when the father was tested by hardships that the child can only imagine.
But it is more than that. For the world my father helped to create from the ruins of the war that so nearly killed him is the world that we grew up in. My generation was nurtured by the dreams of our fathers: the European welfare state, the United Nations, American democracy, Japanese pacifism, the European Union. Then there is the dark side of the world made in 1945: communist dictatorship in Russia and eastern Europe, Mao's rise in the Chinese civil war, the Cold War.
Much of this world of our fathers has already been dismantled, or is fast coming apart at the seams. To be sure, in almost every place that was affected by the last world war, life today is far better than it was in 1945, certainly in material terms. Some of things people feared most have not come to pass. The Soviet empire has fallen. The last battlegrounds of the Cold War are on the Korean peninsula, or possibly the narrow Taiwan straits. Yet, as I write, people everywhere are talking about the decline of the West, of the United States as well as Europe. If some of the fears of the immediate postwar period have faded, so have many of the dreams. Few still believe that eternal peace will come from a kind of world government, or even that the world can be shielded from conflict by the United Nations. Hopes for social democracy and the welfare state—the very reason for Churchill's defeat in 1945—have been severely bruised, if not dashed, by ideology and economic constraints.
I am skeptical about the idea that we can learn much from history, at least in the sense that knowledge of past follies will prevent us from making similar blunders in the future. History is all a matter of interpretation. Often the wrong interpretations of the past are more dangerous than ignorance. Memories of old hurts and hatreds kindle new conflagrations. And yet it is important to know what happened before, and to try and make sense of it. For if we don't, we cannot understand our own times. I wanted to know what my father went through, for it helps me to make sense of myself, and indeed all our lives, in the long dark shadow of what came before.
Charles Simic, The New York Review of Books:
"Year Zero…covers a great deal of history without minimizing the complexity of the events and the issues. It is well written and researched, full of little-known facts and incisive political analysis. What makes it unique among hundreds of other works written about this period is that it gives an overview of the effects of the war and liberation, not only in Europe, but also in Asia… A stirring account of the year in which the world woke up to the horror of what had just occurred and—while some new horrors were being committed—began to reflect on how to make sure that it never happens again."
Adam Hochschild, The New York Times Book Review:
"Ian Buruma's lively new history, Year Zero, is about the various ways in which the aftermath of the Good War turned out badly for many people, and splendidly for some who didn't deserve it. It is enriched by his knowledge of six languages, a sense of personal connection to the era (his Dutch father was a forced laborer in Berlin) and his understanding of this period from a book he wrote two decades ago that is still worth reading, The Wages of Guilt: Memories of War in Germany and Japan."
Wall Street Journal:
"[Buruma is] one of those rare historian-humanists who bridge East and West…Year Zero has a down-to-earth grandeur. Through an array of brief, evocative human portraits and poignant descriptions of events around the globe he hints, rather than going into numbing detail or philosophical discourse, at the dimensions of suffering, the depth of moral confusion and in the end the nascent hope that 1945 entailed…Year Zero is a remarkable book, not because it breaks new ground, but in its combination of magnificence and modesty."
The Economist:
"[Buruma] displays a fine grasp of the war's scope and aftermath. Little conventional wisdom survives Mr. Buruma's astringent prose. Perhaps his most important insight is that the war was not a neat conflict between two sides. The victors included villains, and the vanquished were not all Nazis. On many fronts—notably Yugoslavia—many sides were at war…Many of the consequences of victory were grim. Normality returned in the decades that followed thanks to the grit and determination of those who pushed on past the horrors of 1945. Mr. Buruma's book honours their efforts."
Financial Times:
"Elegant and humane…As generations with few memories of the second world war come of age in Europe and Asia, this luminous book will remind them of the importance of what Buruma terms 'mental surgeons', the politicians and warriors who reconstructed two continents left in rubble."
The New Yorker:
"[A] very human history of 'postwar 1945.'"
Smithsonian Magazine:
"[Buruma] makes a compelling case that many of the modern triumphs and traumas yet to come took root in this fateful year of retribution, revenge, suffering and healing."
The Daily Beast:
"After total war with millions dead and the Shoah comes what? That is the question that propels critic and historian Ian Buruma's panoramic history of 1945. It is a personal story for Buruma, inspired by his own father's experience of the war and its aftermath, but with Buruma's sharp and careful eye it becomes a window into understanding all the years since then."
Lucas Wittmann, The Daily Beast:
"I've spent countless hours reading about trenches, tank battles, and dogfights, but no book had yet captured what came after all that as superbly as Ian Buruma does in Year Zero: A History of 1945. This book will change the way you think about the postwar era, i.e. ours."
Publishers Weekly (starred):
"Rooted in first-person accounts—most notably, the author's own father, a Dutch student forced into labor by the Nazis—Buruma's compelling book manages to be simultaneously global in its scope and utterly human in its concerns."
Kirkus Reviews:
"[An] insightful meditation on the world's emergence from the wreckage of World War II. Buruma offers a vivid portrayal of the first steps toward normalcy in human affairs amid the ruins of Europe and Asia…Authoritative, illuminating."
"In 1945, the war ended, but a new world began. Taken and destroyed cities were transformed; the liberated celebrated; scores were settled; people starved; justice was and was not meted out; soldiers and refugees came home; suffering ended, or continued, or began anew. An eclectic scholar who has written on religion, democracy, and war, Buruma presents a panoramic view of a global transformation and emphasizes common themes: exultation, hunger, revenge, homecoming, renewed confidence. Though there was great cause for pessimism, many of the institutions established in the immediate postwar period—the United Nations, the modern European welfare state, the international criminal-justice system—reflected profound optimism that remains unmatched. Buruma's facility with Asian history lends this selection a particularly internationalized perspective. But it is the story of his father—a Dutch man who returned home in 1945 after being forced into factory labor by the Nazis—that sews the various pieces together and provides a moving personal touch."
Fritz Stern:
"A brilliant recreation of that decisive year of victory and defeat, chaos and humiliation, concentrating on peoples, not states. Gripping, poignant and unsparing, Year Zero is worthy of its author in being at home in both Europe and Asia. It is a book at once deeply empathetic and utterly fair, marked by wisdom and great knowledge; the often personal tone inspired by the fate of his father, a Dutchman forced into German labor camps. In the face of so much horror, it is an astounding effort at deep comprehension. A superb book, splendidly written."
Michael Ignatieff:
"Year Zero is the founding moment of the modern era. Ian Buruma's history of that moment is vivid, compassionate and compelling. Buruma weaves together a tapestry of vital themes: the exultation and sexual liberation that came with victory, the vindictive settling of scores that came with defeat and the longing for a world of peace, justice and human rights after the horror of total war. His story takes in the world: from Holland to Japan, and his heroes and heroines are the ordinary men and women who picked up the pieces of a broken world and put it back together for their children and grandchildren. We are their heirs and Buruma does our parents and grandparents justice in this magnificent history."
Sir Ian Kershaw:
"A graphic account—well-researched, splendidly constructed and stylishly written—of the hinge year of the twentieth century, of its horrors, hopes, illusions and roots of troubles to come. Altogether compelling—a fine achievement."
Sir Brian Urquhart:
"Ian Buruma gives a heart-wrenching account of the horrors, the unimaginable cruelties, and the sheer stupidities of the last months of World War II, and the attempts to deal with them in the first months of peace. Even after nearly seventy years, parts of his book are still almost unbearable to read. Buruma's Dutch father improbably survived Nazi forced labor in Berlin, under allied air attack, until the German surrender; this book reflects an intimacy with the familiar dread of the forces of evil that never goes completely away."

GreatSchools Rating
My school is fun i like the books my school improved by the number of students...
This is my first year at Parkview and I do feel welcomed and unlike my last school there is minimal violence and bullying has not been a problem for me so far, but some teachers should realize that some students may have issues and may not always be in the best mood and although the counselor and student resource officer do an amazing job thinking of ideas to help some teachers continue to punish people doing stuff that is approved instead of people breaking the rules and not paying attention. Overall I have to give the school credit for a lot of things but some things do need to change.
Parkview is a very great school. Just the hallways are a little ghetto and crazy sometimes but otherwise its great. And The Lunch Room is VERY loud sometimes.
It's great if you're in the advanced program... Hallways are ghetto as heck, people are always saying ni**a.
I have my second child there and I love the teachers and how they go the extra mile for all the kids. It is well run and organized.
The 6 grade gold teachers are truly invested in the students. My son has really matured this year.
Parkview is a great school because they have a program where the boys and girls are separated to help the kids focus on whats important and they use emamil to reach out to the parents and let them know whats going on.
i am currently putting a second child thru Parkview. The faculty and staff love kids and will help in any way they can to ensure the child's success in school and in life.
6th Grade Gold Teachers do a wonderful Job.
My youngest child is now attending. Both have enjoyed the school, and the teachers are very involved with children's successes in academics.
This is our 4th child we have sent to Parkview and it is a wonderful school. The building needs updated a bit but still a great place.
The staff go the extra mile and care about our kids!
6 Gold Teachers are awesome! They go the extra mile to connect with the students and make learning fun.
I've taken time to visit/observe my son & his teachers in the classrooms, and students in the halls. From what I saw. I'm certain the education quality can & must be raised. The tolerance level for staff must be lowered. Re-examine the curriculum, very ineffective we must return to the core for 6th & 7th graders, english, math, social studies, science, an art, language and IT added by 8th grade. This sets an unwavering foundation for future subjects. These are the main courses government tested, give it all you've got, challenge our kids they deserve it.
Overall, I would have to say I have had very positive experiences with both of my kids who have attended Parkview. However, I do have to question some people's judgement when the HomeEc Dept. sent home the real-life babies during ISTEP week. ISTEP week was not a good choice for a time to assign this project when they had been stressing that the kids get plenty of rest so they could do their best, now, was it?
Okay, you go in the front door and can walk right past the office without anyone questioning you. Half the time you have to announce yourself to the office staff because they are too busy talking about what they're going to eat for lunch. The kids are allowed to sign themselves in and out. They are not monitored thoroughly enough in my opinion. Teachers allow way too much to go on without consequencing the students. The students are calling people during class without permission and the teachers do not do anything about it. Overall, I have not been impressed with Parkview. They have some major kinks that need to be worked out.
Both of my sons have attended Parkview. The administration is great, very knowledgable and genuinely concerned about the kids. The music department is top notch...Congratulations Mr. Akers!
My daughter is in her third year at this school and loves it. She has just about hated all other schools her entire life but loves this one. Over the summer she says that she cant wait to go back! Her grades have improved also.
I am a student at Parkview middle school and next year will be my third year there. While i have attended Parkview, I have had no problems with the school and/or the teachers or other students enrolled there. I dont think most people that look at Parkview think it is a good school because they have heard it is a rough school but if you went to school there or has a child that goes to school there you would see that it really isn't.
I think that Parkview Middle isn't very good. The teachers do not care about us, and they are mean. Parkview isn't a good school. When I'm a father, my kid aint goin here.

Shit like this actually goes through your fucking brain?
To declare that a personal, inner experience gives certainty about the workings of the universe is to assign far too much value to one's subjective sense of conviction.
I'm not that arrogant.
The brain, marvelous instrument though it is, isn't infallible. It can misfire, seize or hallucinate, and it can do so in a way that's utterly indistinguishable from reality to the person experiencing it.
Also good read, should be mandatory for any whinny bitchy politicans and people who complain about our countries. Yes it can get better, but its already good.
FUEL ON FIRE TLDR: Denmark out of all scandinavien countries, Germany to, has the least reason for a person to work, as the media spins it (Old news really), cause of our big welfare to unemployed people.
I do not hate wow. I'm just (was) very passionated about it. There is a difference. Everyone rants about thing's they think changed badly.

My Steam profile
I would rather employ someone who has a degree, no matter whether his grades is sub-par, rather than someone who wasted 3 years of his life doing nothing except working on the local supermarket. One thing that is true in Norway, is that grades has very little to say when it comes to your future job. It is your personality and the way you're promoting yourself that would be getting you a job. For Engineers in Norway, only 1% of the employers finds grades to be important. That is rather significant, and I think this is what you're trying to get at here.
One thing you would need to consider is whether you're a practical or a theoretical person. Most of those who graduate with sub-par grades would actually tend to be the best persons for the job. Most of them are learning-by-doing, rather than being told what is good and what is bad and memorize that. I were an A-level student myself, and I've studied in Singapore and currently working on a second degree on the side. I've studied and worked with a ton of people who had rather poor grades, but they tend to surpass me in many fields even though my grades tell me I should be ahead. So what I'm trying to say is that grades is not everything. As long as you get the basics in, then the practical work will be your testing ground. You do not graduate as an engineer, you become one through work and time.
The problem with larger countries is that there's too much competition, and most of the time only grades will be your way to stand out. Therefore, those who do not have the "appropriate" grades would be thrown away. Which leads back to my earlier conclusion. You might end up with a theoretical person who have no knowledge as to how he would implement it. You might get lucky, and end up with a genius. As long as the company has the availability in order for people to actually adjust, then most people would be able to become the person the company wanted.
Norway is the leading business within pretty much everything regarding offshore operations (subsea and so on), including ship design and such. This knowledge and expertise was created through combining a large range of people from different background and grades and form something new and innovative. I could point out my little town, which has a mere 7000 inhabitants. From this tiny maritime cluster, you have the headquarter of companies like Rolls-Royce Marine and such. This was not created by the selective minded who only tend to look at your grades.
My experience so far in life is that grades is not everything. An interview would often show your strengths and weaknesses beyond your grades. Most jobs also has a 6-12 months trial period, within this period you'll have to show yourself. If you do end up being of no use to the company, there's no problem for them to just fire you.
Getting into university is another thing. There are rather high standards in order to get in.

The article's main point was "pragmatism over ideology". Some here seem to have missed that.
I for one look forward to the day when free markets and state control will cease to be regarded as religions and more as different tools that might prove useful in the right situation.

They are working on increasing the amount of qualified doctors by
A. recruiting from abroad
B. increase the number of open university spots
C. Get swedes to educate themselves abroad and come back home.
All these 3 methods work well for us but there is still a shortage atm.
