Beyonce has signed a deal with Pepsi worth an estimated $50 million.
The singer has previously appeared in Pepsi ads, but now becomes the face of the brand and allows Pepsi to sponsor her albums, concerts, photo shoots and music videos.
Just watch out for the special effects in their videos. If that doesn't ring a bell, try Googling "Michael Jackson" and "hair on fire."
Pepsi will also provide a multimillion dollar fund to bankroll Beyonce's creative projects over the next few years, according to the New York Times.
I suppose this means she'll have to stop drinking Safeway Select cola.
Beyonce says in a statement, "Pepsi embraces creativity and understands that artists evolve. As a businesswoman, this allows me to work with a lifestyle brand with no compromise and without sacrificing my creativity."
That's right. Pepsi knows art. Just look at those cans.
Lee Anne Callahan-Longo, who runs Beyonce's Parkwood Entertainment company, said the deal is more than just a regular brand sponsorship agreement, adding, "It's wise for a brand like Pepsi to give an artist the ability to truly express herself. Instead of just the old-school way of, 'Do you want to be in an advertisement?' This is much bigger. This is, 'How can we create something together that is truly unique?'"
Well, if there's anything that's unique, it's a can of soda.
Beyonce will collaborate with the company on her 2013 Super Bowl halftime show, and an image of her face will be stamped on the side of limited edition cans due for release in the spring. The singer's next album is due for release in February.
RIHANNA MAD AT CHRIS BROWN: Rihanna and Chris Brown had a spat over the weekend.
Rihanna is angry that Brown partied with his ex-girlfriend, model Karrueche Tran, on Friday night after his show in Paris, according to The Sun.
"She can't get it into her head that Chris will never change," a source told the British tabloid. "She's given him so many chances since he beat her up in 2009 and he still keeps hurting her by partying with girls. Letting Karrueche meet him is yet another blow for Rihanna that will further disgust her fans. They are already raging that she is back with him."
Rihanna supposedly sent out a series of angry tweets, according to Hollywood Life, saying "Examine what you tolerate," "Goodbye mutha (expletive)," and "You give, you get, then you give it the (expletive) back." These tweets appear to have been deleted.
Can you imagine what life was like before Twitter, when people didn't communicate?
Hollywood Life reported Tran plans to follow Brown to the Dubai leg of his "Carpe Diem" tour. Rihanna is supposedly fed up.
Of course she is.
"She was meant to stay with Chris in Paris -- but it looks like she gave it a miss and will head straight to Manchester tonight to perform on the 'X Factor' final's results show," the source told The Sun
Of course, not long after Rihanna sent out the angry tweets, she later tweeted about missing her man.
Call me crazy, but does anyone else see a pattern here?
The Sun also reported that the levelheaded Rihanna got the word "Breezy" tattooed on her neck. "Breezy" is -- as you all know -- Brown's nickname. "She got it to symbolize her commitment to him. Now the world knows they're back together, they're determined to make it work," a source said.
KRISTEN STEWART TO TEAM WITH BEN AFFLECK IN COMEDY: Kristen Stewart will star with Ben Affleck in a comedy called "Focus," according to the Huffington Post.
Isn't she a bit ... vampirey ... for a comedy?
Well, let's give her a chance anyway.
"I can confirm that rumor," Stewart said, referring to Internet reports that began surfacing last month. "It's a comedy. I'm really excited about it. We start shooting in April."
Deadline Hollywood reported last month Stewart had entered talks to appear in the Warner Bros. production as "an inexperienced con artist who hooks up with the more seasoned Affleck." According to the report, the film will be written and directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, who previously teamed up on "Crazy, Stupid, Love."
Subsequent reports claimed that the role would call on Stewart, 22, to shoot some "passionate" love scenes with Affleck, 40. Affleck was also quoted saying that he hoped Stewart would take the role because she's "terrific."
Uh-huh. It's a good thing for Robert Pattinson that Affleck isn't directing, or there could be real trouble.
Stewart told HuffPost that she does not have any other projects lined up, but "would love to find some micro-project before then, because April is kind of a ways away."
Stewart recently finished a world tour promoting "Breaking Dawn 2," the fifth and final installment in the "Twilight" series. She is now making the awards-circuit rounds in support of her next film, "On the Road," an indie adaptation of the famous Jack Kerouac novel, due out on December 21.
There speculation that "On the Road" could give Stewart a shot at an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actress. Affleck is also in the Oscar hunt with "Argo."
KATE MIDDLETON SICK AGAIN: Kate Middleton is fighting another bout of acute morning sickness, just days after checking out of King Edward VII hospital.
While the Duchess of Cambridge won't be heading back to the hospital this time, Prince William reportedly canceled his appearance at the British Military Tournament Sunday to be by her side at Kensington Palace while she recovers, a rep for the royals confirmed to E! News.
There's a joke about trips to the royal throne just screaming to be made about now, so feel free.
"The Duke of Cambridge will no longer attend the British Military Tournament at Earl's Court this evening," the rep said in a statement. "But will spend Sunday privately with the Duchess instead."
"It is well known that hyperemesis gravidarum (acute morning sickness) often recurs and, until further notice, to allow the Duchess a degree of privacy during her pregnancy, we do not intend to offer regular condition checks or advise of routine developments associated with it."
Thank goodness.
Prince William talked about his wife's condition Saturday with to former Centrepoint Chairman Michael O'Higgins at the Winter Whites Gala, saying "I don't know why they call it morning sickness -- they should call it all day and all night sickness. It's a long old process but she is getting there. She feels like it is going to go on forever."
After announcing her pregnancy Monday, Middleton was admitted to the hospital for treatment for this acute form of morning sickness and was released Thursday.
AND SPEAKING OF KATE MIDDLETON: The two Australian DJs who pranked two British nurses into revealing Kate Middleton's medical condition last week have been fired, after one of the nurses was found dead in what was apparently a suicide.
But it sounds like there's some hypocrisy happening at the station, since the duo's superiors have signed off on other stunts over the years that had the potential to cause just as much damage.
In 2009, 2DayFM's "Kyle and Jackie O" show aired a segment called "Desperate Acts," during which a listener was given $1,000 to call her sister and convince her their mother was injured, bleeding, and in need of medical attention.
Nice. Hopefully she needed the money for medical attention after her sister punched her.
Anyway, the prank worked. The sister called 911 and sent paramedics speeding to the mother, who was fine. That hoax prompted a police investigation.
Later that same year, according to TMZ, Kyle and Jackie O hooked up a teenager to a lie detector while her mother grilled her about her sex life. The stunt blew up in their faces when the girl suddenly revealed she had been raped when she was 12.
Wow. What wacky morning show material that is. They were probably scoffing about that for months.
That segment led to another police investigation, and got the DJs a weeklong suspension.
Additionally, 2DayFM has reportedly been on probation multiple times for violating Australia's broadcast rules.
Yet Michael Christian and Mel Greig still got the go ahead from bosses for the Kate prank.
2DayFM's response to the nurse's death has been that "no one could have predicted" the tragedy, which is likely true. But it's not like hurt feelings and freaking people out hasn't been the goal before.
The company that owns the station says it has "terminated" the show and will implement "a companywide suspension of 'prank' calls."
Southern Cross Austereo (SCA) issued the statement this morning saying it still feels "deep regret" for the death of hospital nurse Jacintha Saldanha following the prank ... and "take the events of the last few days very seriously."

Little Friends Teams Up with NBC's "George to the Rescue" to Benefit Lisle Family
NAPERVILLE, ILLINOIS– Little Friends recently teamed up with NBC's newest home improvement show, "George to the Rescue," to complete a home makeover for a well-deserving Lisle family. Patti Boheme, executive vice president of the Little Friends Center for Autism, served as an autism consultant for the episode, which is scheduled to air at 11 a.m. on Sunday, October 31 on NBC 5 Chicago and in other major cities.
The 30-minute show is hosted by home improvement expert George Oliphant who visits families that are dealing with extraordinary challenges, in hopes of improving their homes and lives. This particular home makeover was for the benefit of Theresa and Mersim Kosovrasti and their three sons, Philip, Danny and Alex. The family was nominated for the show by Theresa's best friend, Dia Rizmani who understands this families struggles.
The Kosovrasti's oldest son, Philip, now 13, was diagnosed with lymphoma at the age of 2. After extensive chemotherapy and radiation, Philip underwent a bone marrow transplant made possible by his brother Danny, who was just 9 months old and has autism. Philip has been in remission since 2000, but still faces some health struggles as a result of his cancer treatments. Danny, now 11, was diagnosed with severe autism at the age of 3. Danny attends a therapeutic day school and lives at Little Friends' Lifeskills Training Center for Children with Autism during the week. The Kosovrasti's youngest son, Alex, 7, was also diagnosed with autism at the age of 4.
Demolition work got underway at the Kosovrasti's Lisle home in late September. Dozens of volunteers from the Illinois Homebuilders Association donated their time to convert the family's garage into a sensory room and bedroom for Alex and Danny, and redesigned an upstairs bedroom for Philip. Boheme worked with the project's contractors to design the colorful sensory room for Danny and Alex. The new room features a sensory swing, a marble panel and fiber optic mats, courtesy of Southpaw Enterprises. The boys' sensory room and bedroom also features several visual picture systems, designed by the Little Friends Center for Autism.
Crews from the NBC show were on hand on October 13 to unveil the finished project to the family and to thank all of the volunteers who helped to make this local home makeover a reality.
"There is nothing more rewarding than helping deserving families and making their home improvement dreams a reality," said Oliphant. "I'm thrilled to use my skills to help touch people's lives, and I'm incredibly grateful to the various local designers and contractors who are generously donating their time and resources to help make these important renovations a reality."

Add holidays to your calendar
Add holidays for the country that you want to appear on the Outlook calendar.
Control spam
Junk emails, also known as spam, are a nuisance in your Inbox. To keep your Inbox cleaner, you can enable the Junk Email Filter, which identifies emails that are likely junk and moves them to your Junk Email folder. To automatically send future emails from a particular email address to the Junk Email folder, add the email address to the Blocked Senders List. Or to prevent future emails from being marked as junk, add the address to the Safe Senders List.
Create or delete a search folder
Create search folders to find messages across folders, based on their content or some other significant attribute (like who they're from). Or delete search folders.
Group and view email in your inbox
If you use email a lot, you know how important the message list is. To help you manage your email, Outlook has tools and options you can use to create your ultimate list view. Take this course to learn how to group and view email in your Inbox, show email as conversations, and create a custom view.
Import and export vCards to Outlook contacts
When someone sends you vCard contacts (virtual business cards that most email programs recognize), here's how to save them to your Outlook contacts list.
Make the switch to Outlook 2013
Watch these videos to make the switch to Outlook 2013. Get started with the new version to see how to do everyday tasks.
Make your job easier with Outlook
Every message you get is another demand on your time. But you can triage the demands as they come in, focus on the important ones, and file or delete the others. Take this course to learn how to use follow-up flags to call out email that you want to deal with later. Or, to take it a step further, you can move a flagged item to a folder, so it's easier to find. Outlook has tools for making repetitive jobs easier, too. Finally, you'll learn how to use appointments, meetings and events in Outlook as ways for you to manage your time.
Reach out with contact groups (distribution lists)
If you often send email to the same group of people, you can save time by using a distribution list, which is called a contact group in Outlook. Instead of typing out everyone's address whenever you email the group, just type the name of the contact group. Here's how to create one.
Send or delete an email stuck in your outbox
Send mail stuck in your Outbox, or delete it. The usual cause for stuck mail is a large attachment. Take this course to learn how to send or delete stuck mail.

An appointment doesn't have to be an appointment; it can be any block of time you need to remember. And a meeting can be any block of time that involves coordinating a group of people. Take this course to learn how to take Outlook calendars to the next level by thinking conceptually about them.
Templates and stationery
If you send virtually identical emails over and over again, such as status emails, you'll save time by using an email template. Same with meetings. If you know you're going to meet a lot, but don't know exactly when, create a meeting invitation that has the essential information — the people invited, subject, location, some basic text — then save it as a template. And you follow the same process when you want a task or contact template. Finally, we'll show you how stationery gives your email a consistent look with colorful backgrounds, patterns, and designs.
Track email with read receipts
In Outlook 2013, you can request delivery and read receipts when you send a message. Why? To make sure the recipients get it and open it, if you're not sure about the email address or if the recipients check their email, or maybe you'd just like to know the message got through. Whatever the case, adding a request is easy to do.
Use voting buttons to create or respond to polls

You'll also learn how to periodically remove old items from your mailbox by setting up AutoArchive or archiving manually, and how to run the Inbox repair tool if there's something wrong with a file or you get an error telling you a file is corrupt.
Create and use Personal Folders (Outlook Data Files)
If you like to use folders for managing your email, then you should know about Personal Folders. Regular folders and Personal Folders work about the same. It's what goes on behind the scenes that makes them very different. Take this short course to learn more, and you'll also learn about archiving and about importing and exporting email to a different account.
Password protect your mailbox
With Outlook and Windows, multiple people can protect their email on one shared computer. First, there's sharing at work and home. In this scenario, people can protect their email with their own password-protected Windows user accounts. The second scenario is sharing a public computer, where the best way to protect your email is by using the Outlook Web App or some other browser-based email app.
Share or publish your Office 365 Business calendar
If you have Office 365 Business, you can share or publish your calendar so others can view your appointments and meetings.
Use rules to manage your email
Stay organized in Outlook 2013 by creating rules that automatically act on an arriving or sent message that meets the conditions you specify.
Webinar: Archiving items in Outlook
You can think of archiving as a way to clean up your Inbox (especially if you're running into limits) or as a backup. We'll show you what you need to know about AutoArchiving and Online Archiving in Outlook.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The glitz, glamour and dragon references flowed freely Wednesday night on the red carpet as HBO brought the season three premiere of its "Game of Thrones" to San Francisco's Palace of Fine Arts. The show's stars, creators and executive producers -- including author George R.R. Martin wearing his signature cap and a purple vest adorned, appropriately, with skulls -- stopped to chat on their way into the theater. Inside, 600 fans waited for a Jon Snow sighting or a glimpse of Jaime Lannister.
The new season launches on HBO at 9 p.m. March 31, but we learned a few things over the course of the evening, which began with red carpet interviews and ended with a Westeros-inspired after-party. Among them: That contrary to what you see on TV, the red carpet is a tiny, cramped and incredibly hot space, which is probably why strapless-gowned celebrities never look cold and the press always looks sweaty. That Rose Leslie (Ygritte) wears Louboutin heels when she's not rock climbing, that Natalie Dormer (Margaery Tyrell in "Thrones" and Anne Boleyn in "The Tudors") has terrible taste in fictional husbands -- "I do, I really do," she says -- and that Michelle Fairley (Catelyn Stark) looks nothing like her character on the red carpet.
Catelyn Stark has "one dress, doesn't wear makeup, her hair is always tied back," the glamorous Fairley points out. But like her character, Fairley is not above grabbing a person by the lapels mid-conversation.
Here's what else we learned:
1. Co-creator, executive producer and showrunner David Benioff on the topic of Martin and whether season three will be darker than the earlier seasons: "The first season, we beheaded our protagonist. That's dark ... George is a wrathful god and does terrible things to his creatures."
2. Martin on violence and death on-screen: "On broadcast television, a tremendous amount of people die. So much in entertainment is casual. When we experience death in real life, it breaks our hearts. If I'm writing about death, I want people to experience the horror if it. (The victim) was a person. Not 'Ooo, I'm the clever detective!' and no one cares about the dead stockbroker."
3. Martin on the difference between literary genres and technology: "It's all about the characters. I don't think it matters if you're in a castle or a spaceship. The only difference is in the furnishings ... I would still prefer to tie parchment to the legs of ravens. I still type on a DOS computer with WordStar 4.0. I know science fiction writers who write on manual typewriters or longhand about the 25th century."
4. Leslie on Martin's books and her character: "I dove into the books. That certainly helped me understand the world of Westeros and this medieval fantastical world. I took archery lessons and learned rock climbing and all these new pastimes, which has been amazing. Ygritte is such a dominant character that having this physicality with bow and arrow definitely helped."
5. Maisie Williams, age 15, on the books, on Arya Stark's character and on the process of filmmaking, in which scenes are filmed out of order: "When the series finishes, I will read the books because I've heard so many fantastic things about them. It's just kind of confusing already with the scripts -- I don't want too much in my head. My mum and my stepdad have both read the books and they tell me roughly what happens to Arya. (In season three) I feel kind of free! A lot of characters are in prison on the show and I've been stuck in Harrenhal. Arya has a bit of confidence now that maybe this is the home stretch and she's really going to get home."
6. Natalie Dormer on the similarities between Margaery's situation and filming in five countries: "We never know exactly who we're going to be filming with or for how long or where our characters are going to take us or what country we're going to be shooting in, so that's kind of a nice parallel to Margaery. You don't quite know who you're going to be thrown in with. It's always a little bit unpredictable with 'Thrones.'"
7. Fairley on her character: "What motivates Catelyn Stark is getting her family back together. She's in mourning for the death of her husband, but she can't give in to that. Her grief is her fuel, her survival, it keeps her alive and if she gave in to that she would crumble. The only thing that motivates her is getting hold of her children and (grabs reporter by the lapels) not letting them out of her sight."
8. That season three features plenty of dragons, eunuchs, blood and betrayal -- as promised.

I am new to Qcad, so I don't know if I misunderstood something.
If you create a block with entities, then the entities in the block have their own layer and pen attributes. When you make a insert from that block on your drawing, the insert has it own properties (such as layer and pen attributes).
I have tried to change the attributes from the insert (other layer and/or pen attributes), but the insert always displays with the pen attributes from the block. Is this the normal behaviour or am I wrong? Can an insert be made with different properties than the block it is made from?

I-Shift to match long hauler
A durable long-haul truck like the Volvo FH requires a transmission to suit. One that is convenient for the driver and fuel efficient on fast long distance runs. The I-Shift automated gearbox provides a previously unattainable level of driveability even at 80 tonne transportations and beyond.
Manual gearboxes
Volvo's manual gearboxes are available in a range of variants to suit different uses and engine sizes with a 9-speed range version and 14-speed splitter and range-change versions.
As the gearboxes have cable linkage they are convenient to operate and benefit from low levels of noise and vibration.
Powertronic is Volvo's automatic shifting system for driving that involves constant starting and stopping. It is a fully automatic electronic 6-speed planetary gearbox. The driver is able to choose between two automatic shifting programs or manual gear changing.
Powertronic has a hydraulic torque amplifier for extremely high starting traction and shifting without any break in torque at the drive wheels, making it ideal for construction sites and urban traffic.

FILE - In this June 22, 2012 file photo, former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky arrives at the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte, Pa. (AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar, File)
BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) -- Jerry Sandusky has been sentenced to at least 30 years in prison in the child sexual abuse scandal that brought shame to Penn State and led to coach Joe Paterno's downfall.
The sentence means the 68-year-old former Penn State assistant coach will be in prison at least until he's nearly 100 years old.
Judge John Cleland issued the sentence Tuesday, three months after a jury convicted Sandusky on 45 counts of child sexual abuse.
Sandusky maintains his innocence and plans to appeal, a process his lawyer has said will probably begin in the coming weeks.
Sandusky is professing his innocence, says he is not a monster and says he didn't do the "alleged disgusting acts."

I recently stumbled upon this proofreading option within the profile options in WordPress. I tend to write a post when the moment strikes and even though my computer's OS picks up on most typos, I am loving the build in option to proofread a post before publishing.
To activate the option hover over your name on the upper right corner of the window and select "Edit My Profile."
Locate the section for Proofreading and make a selection of having your post proofread before you publish a post and/or when you update a post.
I tried it out on my last post and after I clicked "Publish" a window popped up asking if I wanted to review the spelling/grammar errors found. All of the items in question were underlined in red and very easy to find.

Microsoft Office 2013 Could Lock-in CIOs, Forrester Says
Microsoft Tuesday unveiled Office 2013, for which the company's Yammer software provides the social punch the productivity software has long lacked. But at least one analyst said this suite, which also integrates Exchange, SharePoint, and Lync, will make it tough for CIOs to introduce so-called best-of-breed tools made by another vendor. This could also lead to headaches for CIOs in the event Microsoft's product teams don't upgrade in harmony.
Forrester Research analyst Rob Koplowitz said that Microsoft designed the individual products to work with each other in Office 2013, encouraging knowledge workers to use the various products in the context of a single platform. For example, users may drag and drop content between Outlook and SharePoint, which receives employees' status updates from Yammer. Essentially, Microsoft's email and collaboration applications are more complete. "This [kind of information integration] is all something that we've been striving for for many years," Mr. Koplowitz said.
Dependency on a single platform could prevent CIOs from purchasing collaboration tools from other vendors, creating a "Microsoft-dominated stack" at companies. Also, the applications' increased interdependency means CIOs risk suffering a broken platform if Microsoft product teams fail to complete their upgrades in a timely fashion. "They're making a big bet on a wide array of Microsoft capabilities," Mr. Koplowitz said. The result is that Office 2013 will make customers more dependent on Microsoft — for better or worse. He expects Microsoft will extend integration of Office 2013 to other products, such as its Dynamics business software, which could further beckon dependency on the company's software.
But, as CIO Journal noted, many CIOs already rely on Microsoft to meet the bulk of their technology needs so that they can focus on other projects that help them grow the business. Last year, Microsoft Office customer Walgreen CIO Timothy Theriault said he liked the idea of an integrated stack so much that he was waiting to see what Microsoft did with Yammer before committing to software from another vendor. Mr. Theriault did not respond to CIO Journal's requests Wednesday for comment on Office 2013 or Yammer.
But Campbell Soup CIO Joseph Spagnoletti, who began using Microsoft Office Office and SharePoint in the cloud last year, said he prefers integrated vendor stacks where he can get them. In 2013, he is heavily customizing SharePoint because "we've had a tremendous number of requests for collaboration workflows."

1 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] That is right. Just before this conference, a few weeks
2before South of France was occupied by axis troops. This
3is at a point when the transports of Jews from France had
4already begun. It began in the early Spring 1942 directly
5to Auschwitz and carried on through the Summer. About
613,000 Jews were arrested in Paris in July. Transports
7then began from the Vichy region. The background to this
8is the fact that they have now got control over the whole
9of France and they are not reliant on the Vichy government
10any more. So in the following February more transports in
11considerable number began to Auschwitz and Sobibor.
12 Q. [Mr Irving] Very briefly, you will find on those two pages of December
1310th 1942 that two words were used for how the Jews were
14going be moved on disposed of: Abshafen on one document
15in Himmler's handwriting, and in the typed memorandum he
16then says they are going to be abtransportiered?
17 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Yes.
18 Q. [Mr Irving] Would you like to tell the court what your conclusions are
19from the use of those two words?
20 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] This first document is just Himmler's own private note, is
21that right?
22 Q. [Mr Irving] Yes.
23 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] The second one is a document for circulation.
24 Q. [Mr Irving] Is the typed version which then was generated after that?
25 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Yes. So he is, in other words, using a euphemism in the
26document that has to be circulated, and being more
1explicit in his own notes.
2 Q. [Mr Irving] How would you translate "abshafen?
3 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] " Abolish.
4 Q. [Mr Irving] To dismiss, to abolish and to remove, is that right?
5 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I think you accepted earlier on that did mean
6liquidate, Mr Irving.
7 MR IRVING: No, my Lord, not necessarily.
8 MR RAMPTON: Mr Irving's translation is no more helpful, except
9of course than perhaps "abolish". He accepted, it is
10somewhere in one of his books, the translation "dispose
12 MR IRVING: Yes.
13 MR RAMPTON: I do not know about in German, but in English it
14is difficult to apply that to people, unless it has an
15entirely sinister sense.
16 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I think that may be what I had in mind.
17 MR IRVING: If we then go to the next document, the third
18document in this series which is dated just December 1942,
19you agree that here Himmler is contacting Muller and
20saying there is going to be a special camp set up to house
21valuable Jews from France and other nationalities, is that
23 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Yes, this is a scheme, is an order by Himmler that
24Hungarian, Romanian and French Jews stay together, all
25those who have influential relations in America should be
26put in a special camp, and he sees a number of about
110,000 for this special camp of the wealthy Jews from
2these three countries who have influential relations in
3America. They have got to work there, but he adds the
4unusual condition that they have to work under conditions
5which keep them alive and healthy.
6 Q. [Mr Irving] Yes.
7 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Good for him. So it is a rather different matter. Yes,
8that is what it says.
9 Q. [Mr Irving] Because I am sure when we come to be questioned about the
10Kinna document we are going to find out that the Jews were
11regarded as being a less preservable species in camps,
12were they not? There was less importance attached to
13keeping them alive?
14 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Yes, this is a very special category of a rather small
15minority. One would guess maybe that this document came
16before the outbreak of war with America. It is difficult
17it say, but this is the hostage idea again I think.
18 Q. [Mr Irving] Yes, this document is December 1942, is it not?
19 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Yes. There is no day though on it.
20 Q. [Mr Irving] Yes.
21 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] There is no day. It is just the month, my Lord.
22 MR JUSTICE GRAY: No, bottom left.
23 MR IRVING: My Lord, the only other document I am going to look
24at in the chain is October 1943.
25 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Looking at the chain for what purpose, Mr
26Irving, can you remind me? It is so long since we started
1it I cannot remember.
2 MR IRVING: The chain started off as the chain of documents
3showing Hitler acting in a benevolent manner, holding out
4his hand to protect categories of Jews.
5 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I thought that was probably the answer.
6 MR IRVING: But occasionally other documents I have put them
7into it out of straightforward fairness to Mr Rampton,
8because I thought that otherwise he will say: Well, what
9about this and what about that?
10 MR RAMPTON: And he is still going to say that.
11 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Let me comment there, the second document about the
12special camp for wealthy Jews from three countries with
13relations in America, it does not actually involve Hitler
14at all. This is an idea of Himmler's.
15 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Anyway, it rather suggests that the other
16Jews are not going to have such a happy fate.
17 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] I am afraid it does, my Lord, yes, particularly where he
18says they have to be kept in work camps under conditions
19that keep them alive and healthy, which suggests that is
20rather unusual.
21 MR IRVING: Was this a time when there were major epidemics
22raging in the camps? In other words, this is not just
23simply saying that you have to take great care that no
24epidemic breaks out in this camp?
25 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] It is not just that. They are saying they are not to be
26worked to death and special care is to be taken that they
1do not die of epidemics, unlike the rest of them is the
2implication. This is a very special category of people we
3are talking about here, with rich relations, influential
4relations in America.
5 MR IRVING: My Lord, all Mr Rampton has indicated he is not
6going to discuss the Roman Jews, because it is part of my
7chain I just want to spend the remaining five minutes
8looking at the two documents on that, if I may.
9 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Because this is the case where you say Hitler
10intervened to save them?
11 MR IRVING: As you will see, my Lord, yes, again under very
12similar circumstances.
13 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Right.
14 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] My Lord, if we are going to discuss this we will have to
15discuss it at length, I fear. I understood we were going
16on to half past 4 today?
17 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Just pause for a moment, Mr Irving.
18 MR IRVING: I am shaking my head.
19 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I follow that. What have you managed to do
20about Monday?
21 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] I am able to come. I have made arrangements to come on
23 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I see. I see why you say that, because the
24Roman Jews are quite complicated.
25 MR IRVING: Shall we leave it until Monday then?
26 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I am inclined to have a go.
