Only in recent years have we started to realise how low self esteem (LSE) can affect our behaviour and thus our lives. Yet it has been so underrated and ignored for so long that it is still not fully understood and recognized.
Let's start by looking at what low self esteem is not. It is not like being humble, it is not a virtue. Rejecting compliments and diminishing yourself and your successes with comments like
"it was nothing" or "I got lucky" is not a virtue in the same way that giving yourself a pat in the back or feeling good about yourself after achieving something is not a sin.
Poor self image is like looking at yourself in a carnival mirror where your weaknesses and faults are exaggerated but your strengths and qualities are invisible.
It is a distorted view of yourself that has little to do with the reality but since you always act in accordance with your self beliefs, it becomes YOUR reality.
For example, there is a job or promotion that you would love to get, but you don't think you are good enough nor have the skill so you don't apply for it and obviously don't get it. The reality is not that you didn't get the job because you were not good enough nor had the skills but because you didn't apply for it and this, is your reality.
People with low self esteem reject themselves or parts of themselves.
They avoid challenges, trying new ventures or exposing themselves. They have no faith in themselve so they take no risk to make sure they won't FAIL.
This is a big word, "FAIL". I have been so scared of that word for so many years... "What if I fail.. I better just stay here and do nothing, at least I won't FAIL".
The problem with this is, when we stay in our comfort zone and avoid challenges and changes, We don't move, we don't achieve anything, we don't grow thus we don't live, we're stuck.
Stuck like a duck in the mud.
And eventually, we end up feeling like a failure anyway, this sense of non-achievement when you wake up one day and think "what if I had gone for that job, invite that girl/boy for dinner, went to that trip, where would I be now?".
And the thing we were trying to avoid all this time (failing) is now knocking at the back of our mind.
It is also difficult for people who lack self esteem to express themselves socially or in private and as a result they may have a small or non-existent circle of friends which may lead to loneliness or have trouble to embrace the full potential of healthy relationships where openness and expression is a must.
These are only a few examples of the effects of low self esteem but there are many more that can damage your life in many ways like stress or depression which are often a by-product of low self esteem but ignored as such.
Overcoming low self esteem requires persistence, vigilance and commitment but the rewards you will reap from your efforts will be life changing. It will lead you to freedom.
The freedom to ask for what you want in life, to express and open yourself to others, to be creative, to grow and accept challenges without fear, to become who you really want to be and to embrace the world with open arms. The freedom to become the most that you can be.
The first thing to do is to get acquainted with the subject. In other words, Get to know your opponent, study it.
we tend to fear what we don't know so do your homework and get to know the signs , causes and effects of low self esteem,
how it can lead to stress and depression or even loneliness.
You can also register here for a free Self Confidence Course that I highly recommend, plus you get three more free courses as a bonus.
Whether you need improvement in only one area of your life (for example your relationships or shyness)
or need a full emotional make-over, learn all you can about it and you will then be ready to fight it.

I have a series:
$$ \sum^\infty_{n=1}{\bigg(\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{n+2}}\bigg)} $$
and I thought it is a divergent series since
$$ \sum{\big(f(x)-g(x)\big)} = \sum{f(x)} - \sum{g(x)} $$
and so the series equals to
$$ =\sum^\infty_{n=1}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}}-\sum^\infty_{n=1}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{n+2}}} $$
and we know that $\sum^\infty_{n=1}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}}$ is divergent, so the whole series is divergent. But it turns out that it is convergent and the answer is $1+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$.
How do you prove that it is convergent and calculate the answer? The only way I know how to compute an answer for a series is via a geometric series and there seems to be no way to make it into a geometric series!

When Michael Beasley was selected by the Miami Heat with the second overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, there were nothing but high hopes and praises for the 19 year old phenom. In 2007, Beasley was ranked as the #1 high school player in the nation, but surprised many of his suitors by electing to attend Kansas State.
Nevertheless in his freshman year at K-State, Beasley emerged as arguably the most dominant player in the country. His 12.4 rebounds per game led the NCAA , and his 26.2 points per game ranked third in the nation. He entered the 2008 NBA draft after his freshman year, and the only player who was selected before Beasley was Derrick Rose, the 2010-2011 NBA MVP.
Even though the Heat are doing just fine without Beasley nowadays, one has to wonder what could've happened if they had elected to pass on him. The next three picks after him were O.J. Mayo, Russell Westbrook, and Kevin Love, while Roy Hibbert went 17th in the draft. But while legitimate stars such as Westbrook and Love were out making the All-NBA team, Beasley was failing to improve. Miami dealt him to the Minnesota Timberwolves for a mere second-round pick in order to clear up cap space shortly after LeBron's infamous Decision to take his talents to South Beach. Furthermore, this past season Beasley was even stripped of his starting role as a member of the T-Wolves. His NBA career has been plagued by off-the-court issues, and through four seasons, he has not proven to be much more than just another guy with a lot potential who is simply not living up to that potential.

Statistically speaking, Beasley's best season came during his first year in Minnesota when he averaged 19.2 points per game. However, before the start of last season, T-Wolves' fans naturally were alarmed when Beasley claimed that his mediocre 78 rating in NBA 2K12 was "higher than [he] thought." This is a guy who should be striving for excellence. The same guy who shot nearly 54% from the field in college, and broke Carmelo Anthony's freshman NCAA double-double record. The same guy who had once been ranked as the best high school player in the nation.
Instead he was happy with a 78 rating, content with being average, and entirely apathetic towards the frequent fines and marijuana charges that had come to define his NBA career. Coming off his worst season yet, where he averaged just 11.5 points per game, there was unsurprisingly a lack of widespread demand for Beasley this offseason… except from the Phoenix Suns.
The Suns are looking to rebuild in the post-Steve Nash era, and acquiring Beasley was allegedly their top priority this offseason. Beasley understands he is lucky that any team would still have faith in him, but after signing a three-year $18 million deal, I too have faith that Beasley will turn the corner and start to emerge as the player he was once expected to become.
While his professional career has been marred by immaturity, Beasley's comments in yesterday's press conference while being introduced as the newest member of the Suns were arguably the best things that have come from Beasley since the 2008 draft. The same guy who had once dodged and denied all accusations as a 19-year-old member of the Heat finally acknowledged his past issues, promising to reward Phoenix for keeping the faith.
"I realize 10 minutes of feeling good is not really worth putting my life and my career and my legacy in jeopardy, so I'm confident to say that part of my career, that part of my life, is over and won't be coming back."
This is a great sign of things to come from Beasley. He has previously held himself back from reaching his potential, but with his new team, new workout regimen, and new mentality, I believe his sharp shooting and quick moves in the paint will allow him to once again become a dominant forward and household name. Beasley does have a respectable .455 career field goal percentage, and his quickness for his size and ability to finish effectively with either hand makes him difficult to guard for many less-agile forwards.
Again he is still only 23-years-old, the same age as Jeremy Lin, and it is clear that Beasley's abilities, work ethic, confidence, and maturity all would have benefited from two or three more years at K-State. However I believe that sitting on the couch while watching his childhood friend Kevin Durant compete in the NBA Finals may have sparked a sobering realization within Beasley. By finding a new home in Phoenix, Beasley finally seems committed and NBA-ready, and finally has something other than a joint to feel good about.

By finding a new home in Phoenix, Beasley finally seems committed and NBA-ready, and finally has something other than a joint to feel good about.
"It makes me feel good that someone actually believes in me and someone is willing to give me a chance."
Next season, Beasley will be out to prove his worth, and with hard work he has the opportunity to become the new face of the Suns' franchise as they enter a rebuilding stage.
He will need to develop a rapport with Nash's replacement Goran Dragic, fellow newly acquired forward Luis Scola, and rapidly improving center Marcin Gortat, but if he works as hard as he claims he will, my prediction is that it won't be long before Beasley becomes the go-to-guy in Phoenix.

- Company: Paul Jacober

This shirt from Paul Jacober encompasses everything you love about a plain white T-shirt: it's made from 100% super-soft, breathable cotton, it has a flattering V-neck that will help you achieve that perfect V-shaped physique, and it practically allows you to live in it. However, the funky design depicting the view of Miami's skyline from the hipper-than-hip intersection of 17th Street and Collins Avenue takes this otherwise standard tee in a decidedly modern direction. To fully channel SoBe's laid-back, beach-chic vibe, simply mix this piece with a pair of killer shades.
This T-shirt fulfills all the requirements a good basic piece should: it's a practical, comfortable staple that works well with the other components of your wardrobe. Unlike your standard white tee, however, Paul Jacober's model features an unusual print that will give an artsy edge to your ensembles. So while slapping a slogan or logo across your chest will give you the appearance of a lost tourist with a cheesy sense of style, a pared-down print like the one on this shirt will show off your fun but understated approach to fashion. Bonus: you'll be able to turn your shirt into a conversation piece by asking girls to dish on their favorite South Beach hot spots.
Assuming it will be hard to get you out of this shirt, you can expect it to last somewhere in the range of one to two years. And because the shape and fit are classic and the design is cool rather than obnoxious, you don't have to worry that it will quickly look dated. You'll be able to wear this T-shirt year-round by pairing it with jeans, linen pants or shorts in warmer months and by slipping it under blazers, casual jackets or sweaters when temperatures drop. Accessories including a range of hats, belts with loads of metal hardware, and of course, sunglasses, will all look amazing with this shirt. Some shrinkage may occur with this tee, however, so if you're an in-between size you should order this item in a larger size. At just over $50, this piece is probably more expensive than you would like it to be. However, you'll hardly be paying it off in installments, so if it appeals to you and you appreciate its versatility, don't worry that it's priced a little higher than it should be.

Yesterday on March 2, Examiner.com was on the scene at the Official Oscar Night Viewing Party & Dinner at Daniel. Notables in attendance included The Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences New York Events Director Patrick Harrison, Chef Daniel Boulud, S. Epatha Merkerson, Norm Lewis, actor Jordan Charney, StrategyPR's Cynthia Swartz, playwright Nancy Charney, actors and directors Vondie Curtis-Hall and Kasi Lemmons, animator Candy Kugel, Chuck Honeywell, Ross Williams, director Dawn Porter, Director for Hamptons International Film Festival David Nugent, actress Rutanya Alda, MOMA chief curator of film Rajendra Roy, writer and director Shawn Christensen, director Ira Sachs, Jordan Charney, Emily Sydney Smith and Picturehouse CEO Bob Berney, to name a few.
"We're here for the second year in a row at Daniel's wonderful restaurant, and we're celebrating Oscar night in New York. Hopefully some of our New York nominees will come home with the Gold Man, and it's just going to be a night of fun, of festive eating, drinking, and enjoying the show," Patrick Harrison told Examiner.com. "I think New York is really important to Hollywood. We have some great talent here. Martin Scorsese is on the red carpet tonight, Meryl Streep is on the red carpet tonight and there are also documentary filmmakers who live right here in New York," Harrison added.
When we asked actress S. Epatha Merkerson her fondest Academy moment she said, "The first time I ever attended the Oscars was last year, as an Academy member, so I would say that was probably one of the most fun times and Shirley Bassey singing "Goldfinger," being there the whole thing you didn't see was the crowd being on their feet after." Merkerson's favorite films this year were "Nebraska," then "12 Years a Slave" and "American Hustle" in that order.
Director Ira Sachs was excited to be attending the party. "It's kind of an institution to even be invited, I feel like I'm a part of history." His film "Love Is Strange," which he co-wrote and directed, stars John Lithgow and Alfred Molina as a gay couple who gets married and as a result one of them loses their job. So what inspired the story? "My husband! I'm in a relationship that I can actually imagine blossoming and growing with time and that's a first for me. I wanted to make a film that sort of spoke to that hope." Sachs added, "Alfred Molina is like the salt of the earth, the nicest man you'll ever meet and technically one of the best actors I've ever worked with. He and John Lithgow I think give performances unlike anything they've been asked or allowed to do for a long time. This was very exciting." Sony Pictures Classics will release the film at the end of August 2014.
We also spoke with acclaimed broadway actor and "Scandal" star Norm Lewis on the red carpet. He was very excited to be attending the Official New York Oscar party. "I'm here just working on some concerts. I have a concert next week at Lincoln center and I have some other things happening in the fire, I just finished an episode of "Blue Bloods." New York is the place to be," Lewis told us when we asked him what he's working on in New York. He also reflected on "Scandal." "Scandal has been amazing. I got so lucky to be a part of that show. Unfortunately, I've only had one episode this season. But it's so infectious and you get addicted to that show. Getting a chance to work with Kerry Washington was a dream come true and she's just an amazing person. So if Shonda will have me back I will be back in a moment's notice!"
Check out what Chef Daniel Boulud told us about the menu for the evening:
Tell us about the menu that you curated?
Chef Daniel: We want to make sure that people have a wonderful experience. It's at Daniel. Rather than give a multi-course meal, we composed a meal that will give them a lot of different tastes. So in the first course, there's a little lobster salad with beets and horseradish and it's a combination of sweet and spicy and briny a little bit. Then next to that it's also a smoked salmon sturgeon and it's a checkerboard with potatoes and smoked sturgeon and leeks and it's wrapped in nori and that has a little bit of smokiness and sweetness. With that next to it, there's also a potato and leek veloute with caviar. So that's the sweet taste coming in one dish. Then after we have a chicken and truffle, with some winter vegetable and an albufera sauce…then the taste of cheese.
How long have you been working on tonight's menu?
Chef Daniel: Well, we have been working on it for at least a month. Last month, we had a tasting and we discussed it and they liked the direction we were taking and often we like to know who are the nominees, so this way right after that we start working on the menu … and adapt it to some whimsical idea, so this year we decided desert would be a more whimsical connection than the food.
How excited are you to host the Official New York Academy Party at your restaurant?
Chef Daniel: I'm very excited, you know Sunday Daniel is closed normally, so it's a great occasion and we only open for special events here. Next Sunday, I do have a big charity gala, but this Sunday it's like a perfect match because it's an early night, people come early, it's a long evening, it's very glamorous, the food is great we have a lot of screens where we can watch it, people can see it from every angle.

Coat, Service, Type M1940, United States Army Air Forces
The officer's Type M1940 service uniform was adopted by the United States Army during the service's rapid expansion prior America's entry into World War II. Popularly known as the "pinks and greens" this uniform remained standard issue until the passage of the National Security Act of 1947 that created the Department of Defense. The uniform continued to be worn in the aftermath of the Act but officially became obsolete after July 1948.
This service coat was worn by the donor, 1st Lieutenant John Nagay. Nagay served as a B-24 Bombardier and Navigator in the 15th Air Force from September 1943 to March 1944 and was wounded by Flak over the Anzio beachhead in February 1944.

Looking for a rental?
Try the SHAR Way - It's Better than Renting!
During my Apprenticeship here at Shar, I have had time to play all of Shar's Hoffmann student instruments. My first week, I played the Hoffmann Prelude, the instrument that is now our Standard SharWay instrument. I was extremely pleased and impressed with it's lovely voice, easy response, and excellent craftsmanship. Then I played the SharWay Premium, the Hoffmann Concert, and I was really thrilled. It is an instrument that could take a student a long way. It has a sweet, clear voice with great overtones. Years, back, my own early violin was only ok, and I was resigned to starting my students on other such heavy, dull sounding instruments. Not with the Shar Way! It is wonderful that both these instruments, the Standard and Premium, are available as Shar's answer to a rental in such a user friendly and customer focused program.
I know that you'll be happy with the sound of your new SharWay violin!
- Katherine Thompson
My favorite feature of the Shar Way plan is that every payment works towards a goal. New students and parents don't have to feel the pressure of an impending purchase about which they may not know a whole lot. You cannot get stuck in the "forever renting" rut because every payment contributes to either your Shar Way Credit or it goes towards the instrument that you currently have. It's 24 months to learn more about your new instrument and start thinking about your next steps as a musician. It's all the benefits of a rental – low monthly payments, less pressure from financial commitment, extended warranty coverage – and you also get a new instrument from the get-go.
- Hilary Lewis

Aug. 11, 1999
LOS ANGELES - As part of its continuing investigation into the wrongful use of disabled parking placards, the UCLA Police Department has determined that two additional current student-athletes unlawfully obtained and used disabled parking placards.
As a result, these students, Keith Brown and Eric Whitfield, will be penalized by the University in the same manner as the student-athletes who were disciplined on July 28. As in the earlier cases, Brown and Whitfield will be required to assist in educational programs designed to help raise awareness about the rights and needs of people with disabilities, and to meet with the Chancellor's Advisory Committee on Disability as well as with individual students with disabilities to learn how they meet their life challenges. As current members of the football team, they will be suspended from the first two games of the 1999 season for breaking team rules. Finally, they may be subject to additional University disciplinary sanctions, which extend to probation or suspension from UCLA.
Chancellor Albert Carnesale commended the UCLA police department "for its continuing and diligent effort to investigate cases involving the unlawful use of disabled parking placards." He also stated, "UCLA will not tolerate this type of behavior. Once again, we have tried to be strict and fair."

DENVER (WAC) -- SMU basketball standouts Quinton Ross and Bryan Hopkins have been named Western Athletic Conference Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year, respectively, as selected by the league's 10 head coaches, the WAC announced today.
Ross leads the conference's first team after averaging a WAC-best 20.3 points per game and adding 6.9 rebounds per contest in 18 conference games. Ross was joined by Fresno State's Damon Jackson, Louisiana Tech's Antonio Meeking, Tulsa's Kevin Johnson, Hawaii's Carl English and Nevada's Kirk Snyder. Ross, Johnson and English were second-team selections last season.
Ross is SMU's first WAC Player of the Year award winner since the conference went to a single-award system. Jeryl Sasser won the Mountain Division WAC Player of the Year back in 1998-99.
Ross' all-conference selection also marks the seventh straight year the SMU Head Coach Mike Dement has placed at least one player on the All-WAC squads.
Hopkins was named the WAC's Freshman of the Year after averaging 14.6 points, 4.3 assists and 2.2 steals in conference games. He is first in the WAC in steals and second in assists.
Hopkins becomes SMU's first WAC Freshman of the Year award winner since the conference went to a single-award system, as Jeryl Sasser won the Pacific Division Freshman of the Year back in 1997-98 and Stephen Woods won the Mountain Division Freshman of the Year back in 1996-97.
The Mustangs return to the court on Thursday, March 13, when they take on the Boise State Broncos in a 12 p.m. Williams WAC Tournament quarterfinal in Tulsa.

Overflowing with melancholy and tragedy, Road to Perdition is one of the most somber gangster pictures ever made.
First and foremost, Iris is a magnificent story about the enduring bond between two eccentric, astounding souls who somehow managed to find each other and hold on for dear life.
Leave it to von Trier to conceive an intergalactic sci-fi metaphor for a psychological disorder – and then make it work so astonishingly well.

This is a beautiful movie.
Contains all of the hallmarks of classic genre Spielberg: It shows you things you've never seen before, instills an accompanying sense of awestruck wonder, and delivers long stretches of heightened, delirious excitement that remind you why people started going to the movies in the first place.
The interpretation is so painstaking and moving that almost every moment delivers a shuddering jolt to the head and the heart.
White God is the rare sort of movie in the era of computer-generated special effects where you can't believe your eyes, because what you're looking at is real.

This poignant, wise and subtle picture -- which, yes, happens to be the best movie of the year -- should be approached with humble expectations. Lee's approach to this delicate material is suffused with melancholy, metaphors and small, telling touches that favor subtlety over exclamation points and rough-hewn simplicity over grandiloquence.
Brilliant, suspenseful, absolutely riveting film.
It's a cry of despair and soul-shaking desperation, leavened with shades of Dostoyevskyan angst.

That song (Jefferson Airplane's Somebody to Love), which becomes a sort of mantra to the movie, is the key to understanding what the Coens are after: When the truth is found to be lies, and all the joy within you dies, you better find somebody to love.
In a larger sense, Adaptation is a movie about the simple act of enjoying life -- of really embracing it -- without constantly worrying about what others think.
What you come to see are the strokes of a visual master. You will not be disappointed.

What makes it the best movie of the year -- is its insight into human behavior.
This is the sort of small, intimate drama about unpleasant subject matter Hollywood rarely deals with, but Haneke isn't worried about turning off his audience, because death is something everyone has in common. It fascinates us, the way it also scares us.

Like every war before it, the U.S. invasion of Iraq has generated its share of movies. But The Hurt Locker is the first of them that can properly be called a masterpiece.
The movie, shot in lovely, grainy 16mm by cinematographer Ed Lachman, is so elegantly staged you can practically smell the characters' perfume. Haynes' direction is methodical and precise without being fussy or oppressive. Every detail has been weighed and considered.

Although it is technically a sequel, Before Sunset stands perfectly well on its own. In fact, the new movie plays better if you haven't seen the original for a while, so its details have grown appropriately fuzzy.
A visually thrilling experience.

An EgyptAir flight is diverted to Prestwick Airport after a passenger finds a letter onboard threatening to blow it up.
09:22, UK, Sunday 16 June 2013
A plane travelling between Egypt and the US was forced to make an emergency landing after a passenger discovered a letter onboard threatening to blow it up.
The EgyptAir flight was escorted to Glasgow's Prestwick Airport by Typhoons from RAF Leuchars during its journey to JFK Airport in New York.
EgyptAir chairman Tawfiq Assi said the plane had around 300 passengers on board when it was diverted at around 2.30pm on Saturday.
The Ministry of Defence confirmed it launched fighter jets to escort the aircraft.
Police were in attendance on the runway and described the situation as an "on going incident".
Transport in the area was disrupted after officers closed roads near the airport.
A statement from Police Scotland said: "At around 14:20 today an EgyptAir aircraft flying from Cairo to New York was diverted to Prestwick Airport after a suspicious note was discovered on the aircraft.
"There are no reports of anyone injured and police are currently making arrangements for the 326 passengers to disembark.
"All passengers will then we interviewed by police."
The statement added passengers will continue their journey "as soon as is reasonably possible".
The note, reported to say "I'll set this plane on fire", is understood to have been found inside a toilet on the plane.
Mr Assi said the flight was being checked by a technical team that included bomb disposal experts.
He added that passengers were taken off the plane to wait in the airport.
A spokesman for the airport said it was continuing to operate as normal.

'Times Magazine' to Get Behind McCain Campaign Narratives
Coming this Sunday, an in-depth story on the McCain campaign that some are calling the first 'postmortem.'
This weekend, The New York Times Magazine will publish an in-depth look at how the McCain campaign came up with the different narratives they pitched in their efforts to sell their candidate. Writer Robert Draper outlines everything from the "Heroic Fighter" story line (McCain was originally reluctant to harp on his POW experiences, but was talked into it by advisers like Steve Schmidt) to the "Obama As Celebrity" meme (which came from a frustrated outburst from Schmidt in a meeting) to the "Team of Mavericks" plot. As the Huffington Post pointed out, for some readers it will seem like a postmortem. But the campaign isn't dead yet, and as you'll learn from the story, it's moments of desperation when the McCain team is at its most creative and risk-taking.
Most fascinating are the portions of the story that talk about the choice of Sarah Palin as running mate in late August. Her name was first mentioned in a meeting by Steve Schmidt on Sunday, August 24, less than a week before her pick was announced, and she only first met McCain himself on Thursday, August 28, just one day before the announcement. It was, Draper reports, a quiet inside choice by Fred Davis and Schmidt that was carefully spread around the campaign. They based the choice on her narrative, confidence, and, in particular, one Charlie Rose appearance during which she supplied few answers but still managed to dominate the interview. Oh, and her looks. Apparently, a pal told Davis: "The way you pick a vice president is, you get a frame of Time magazine, and you put the pictures of the people in that frame. You look at who fits that frame best — that's your V.P." (No wonder the RNC has spent $150,000 on clothes for her.) McCain apparently first met Palin during an hour-long conversation in his favorite wooded nook on his Arizona ranch, "beside a creek and a sycamore tree, where a rare breed of hawk seasonally nested." That alone time was enough to seal the deal.
Draper concludes that as effective as all of the campaign narratives have been individually, they may not work together. "The trick is that all of these are McCain," senior adviser Matt McDonald told him. "But in constantly alternating among story lines in order to respond to changing events and to gain traction with voters," concludes Draper, "[t]he 'true character' of a once-crisply-defined political figure has become increasingly murky."

Anne Herrmann is Professor of English and Women's Studies. She received her degree in Comparative Literature, with an emphasis in English and German literature and French feminist theory. Her primary interests lie in 20th century literary and cultural productions. A particular focus has been questions of subjectivity as related to the performance of identities and issues of literary genre and language. She is currently working on a book on Switzerland, a work of creative non-fiction that engages with questions of citizenship, cultural production and belonging, and the politics of language within a changing Europe.
