Well i'm Looking at pistols for the future, and and have a small question. For a SHTF/TEOTWAWKI what would be better. 45acp or 9mm. I'm not sure about the difference between them, so i need some assistance.

I advocate 9mm for a defense pistol caliber because: skill is more important than gear; 9mm is cheaper to train with; and the difference in terminal performance between a good defense bullet and a poor one in the same caliber is more than the difference caliber to caliber.
July 25, 2008, 01:56 AM
Presuming TEOTWAWKI happens through a thermo nuclear exchange, you ain't going to be around. Nor will your nine. :eek:
July 25, 2008, 02:11 AM
Zak hit the nail on the head. In addition 9mm is softer recoiling than .45 ACP in otherwise identical guns. You'll also find a much wider variety of guns in 9mm than .45 ACP so finding a gun that fits you will be easier.
If SHTF/TEOTAWKI happens having a gun you know how to use well will be worth far more than it being in a specific caliber. However, 9mm is the US Armed Forces' standard round and it's more plentiful than .45 ACP in commercial target ammo too; so 9mm is more likely to be available. Last, if you're really worried about SHTF .22 LR the most widely available round in the US. It's light enough to carry large amounts of, and cheap enough to easily stock up on.
July 25, 2008, 02:23 AM
In another thread, someone made the point that while .22 LR is not the ideal self defense round, I've never seen anyone line up to get shot with one for giggles. More likely than not, the threat of physical violence in most situations is more effective than actual violence.
July 25, 2008, 02:33 AM
shevrock, the two calibers differ in several ways. Cartridge notation is based on the caliber of the bullet, which is either in fractions of an inch or in millimeters. The 9mm is about 0.355 inches and the .45 is, naturally, right around .45 inches. The .45 bullet is not only larger in diameter, but it also typically fires a heavier bullet (almost twice the weight of a 9mm bullet). This heavier bullet travels slower, about 850 feet per second versus approx. 1100 feet per second with the 9mm. Hopefully that helps you understand the basic differences between them a bit more.
Now as for which one you should pick, well I think you'll quickly learn this is a long standing debate that takes on a religious quality for many people! :) Personally, I agree with those who recommend the 9mm. It offers you the advantages of: more rounds in your pistol, less recoil, cheaper ammo, and it is the same round carried by almost every military on the planet.
A good idea would be to go to a range where you can try out a few pistols in both calibers and see which one you like best.

9 mm v .45 ACP?
I think this topic was
discussed once before.
Oh, no, wait,
a thousand times.
But what the hey,
one more time ...
Then, buy a .357 mag
with a carbine to match ...
July 25, 2008, 05:00 AM
In a true SHTF fall of society I think 9mm would be the way to go. Holds good amounts of ammo, its a military rouns so there is a lot stockpiled, and it has better penetration for shooting through cover.
Well I would actually say 2nd to a good .22lr.
July 25, 2008, 05:11 AM
What is TEOTWAWKI ? It don't sound good, whatever it is:D
July 25, 2008, 05:51 AM
the end of the world as we know it.
July 25, 2008, 07:57 AM
A 9mm should be at least third after a .22 and shotgun. Possibly 4th because you might want a centerfire rifle too.
July 25, 2008, 08:04 AM
In another thread, someone made the point that while .22 LR is not the ideal self defense round, I've never seen anyone line up to get shot with one for giggles. More likely than not, the threat of physical violence in most situations is more effective than actual violence.
I love my Ruger MKiii, but I've shot someone with a CCI Stinger, deliberately, center chest. Hit the underside of a rib, ricocheted down and lodged between his heart and lung. He WALKED to his car and DROVE HIMSELF to the ER. A 22 is better than nothing, but not one of my choices for defense.

SHTF how long do you think you will really last? Is it really relivant what caliber you have? Not really. Just buy a gun stock up on ammo and dont worry about it. You can always shoot other folks that have ammo and take it from them.........oh wait thats not a very nice thing to do.
July 25, 2008, 08:34 AM
I have been shooting the .45 ACP in 1911's since I was 17 years old. I'll stick with that. ;)
The argument that 9MM is cheaper to train with is very valid these days, especially for the novice that needs a lot of reps. :)
What do I know. I carry a .22 Mag or a .32 ACP more than anything. :D
July 25, 2008, 08:49 AM
In SHTF, either will do. Since most SHTF real events are short lived. However in a TEOTWAWKI situation which can be a very long long long term w/c you may imply you might not live long enough to know w/c is better. In a TEOTWAWKI a rifle with lots of ammo will be more suitable. But of course everything else is just hypothetical since we may all die anyway.
July 25, 2008, 09:46 AM
Try and find a gun shop/range that will let you rent a selection of .45's and 9mm's and see which is most comfortable for you.
Definitely try a 1911 style, a CZ style and a Glock style
Invest in a good quality (not necessarily expensive) weapon and practice and buy good quality ammunition in the caliber of your choice.
If it is for your personal SHTF or TEOTWAWKI, learn to reload and invest in components.
Don't get fixated on worst case scenario's and enjoy shooting FIRST or you'll become that scary "UN New World Order", "Mall Ninja", "Black Helicopter", "X Files" person you mother always told you avoid.....:D:D:D:D
Guns and more
July 25, 2008, 10:34 AM
I have both. Here's what I think. If I had to shoot an intruder, the .45 has more knock down power, and less likely to overpenetrate and hurt a bystander. 9mm. Ammo is cheaper, so I shoot those more often at the range. I wouldn't want to be shot by either. Most shootings are two rounds in two seconds so magazine capacity doesn't mean anything, except at the range and in the movies.
For carry, I'd go with the 9.
July 25, 2008, 11:43 AM
Thankyou C-grunt
Thought it was some ninja term:D
July 25, 2008, 11:47 AM
Which ever one you chose, make sure it's the "right" one. Because then you woln't have to worry about food, shelter, medicine or that pesky thermonecular mushroom cloud on the horrizon.
July 25, 2008, 12:03 PM
Here's my feeling:
In Short: handguns are defensive.
If you're going to where you know there will be trouble, and can't avoid it.. Take a long gun, and friends with long guns.
If you are talking about a situation where you'd be using a handgun, then you are automatically talking about a situation you are actively trying to get out of (at the very least, to go and get your long gun). so extended capacity shouldn't really come into play. Shoot who ever is preventing you from running, and run.
A .45 is very good in that application. Even if I only hit you in the wrist, you're slowed down for long enough that I'll be gone.
Yeah, It's a religious war... And I'm on the .45 side of it.. but I can see the other point of view. (The cheaper practice costs being the best argument I've heard on that.) Either should be fine... but if you're REALLY looking for a TEOTWAWKI weapon, my list (in order) would be
1) 12 ga
2) any other shotgun
3) .308 rifle
3) 5.56 rifle
5) .357 magnum
6) 9mm
7) bow and arrows (dont' laugh, REALLY long term... no beating it...)
Just my opinion... but just so you know... I carry a .45 personally.
I would LOVE to hear more about your story, BTW. IM maybe?
July 25, 2008, 02:17 PM
How many times has this question been asked? 5,000? 10,000?
And yet, the good people here take time to patiently answer it. What a group!
July 25, 2008, 02:21 PM
Most of my reply was cut and paste. I keep THAT, and a few other replies in a text file on my desktop for just such occasions...
(I also keep a particularly clever Flame Mail there too... that comes in handy every so often :D )
July 25, 2008, 02:22 PM
But what if the zombies start using cover or makeshift armor, won't I need something with more energy so I can penetrate the barriers/armor and still get headshots?
July 25, 2008, 02:28 PM
It's comfort level as much as caliber.
Find a a pistol that fits your hand, train with it, and stock up on some ammo.
July 25, 2008, 02:31 PM
BEST GUN WOULD BE THE ONE YOU ARE COMFORTABLE / Competent WITH
i like the 45 as it's what i carry, but SHOT PLACEMENT wins the prize.
you can pack a whole bunch of 22 in your pocket :D
July 25, 2008, 02:37 PM
I highly recommend buying several of each. :-) Or if you have a range with a well-stocked rental case you could rent several of each. Eventually, you will find one that speaks to you.
July 25, 2008, 02:56 PM
What caliber for caliber war threads?
July 25, 2008, 03:11 PM
Find a a pistol that fits your hand, train with it, and stock up on some ammo.Best advice of the thread, so far in terms of the pistol caliber question ... IMO, of course.
Reasonable points being made about the most appropriate gun for one of those hypothetical situations.
It's not clear, Shevrock, from your OP whether you already own other guns and are just looking to add a pistol, or whether this pistol is to be your primary (or even only) weapon. If the latter, then that changes things, potentially substantially ... again, IMO.
Can you clarify that?
July 25, 2008, 03:29 PM
SHTF how long do you think you will really last? Is it really relivant what caliber you have? Not really. Just buy a gun stock up on ammo and dont worry about it. You can always shoot other folks that have ammo and take it from them.........oh wait thats not a very nice thing to do.

It is all about shot placement. I would rather take a .45 slug in the leg or arm than take a .25 somewhere between my top lip and eyebrows.
July 25, 2008, 03:34 PM
Not much to add other than to respectfully submit that as someone who shoots .45 ACP in a Commander sized package, I find similar sized service pistols in 9mm to have a noticeably sharper recoil and report.
The easiest way I have found to describe it is using the analogy of a large dog (.45) that goes "WOOF" and a smaller dog that goes "YAP". I personally find the "woof" of a large dog comforting and easy to control. I find the "yap" of a small dog rather annoying and 'snappy' in the wrist.
Interestingly enough, if I had to be honest about it, the .357/.38 special 'platform' (geez did I just say that?) seems to offer about the most options for any given situation simply by changing bullet types. This makes the 9mm "penetration" is superior to .45 and the .45 "knockdown" power is superior to 9mm arguments relatively inconsequential. Considering how cheap it is to shoot .38s and the penetration of the .357 magnum you get the best of both worlds in one handgun that is available in a multitude of frame sizes-some of which even offer 8 round cylinders. And while 9mm and .45 ACP carbines are getting harder to find, there are a good number of .357/.38 carbines available in a trustworthy and benign looking lever-action.
Obviously, concealabilty of large frame revolver is slightly more difficult...but you did say SHTF did you not?
July 25, 2008, 03:37 PM
July 25, 2008, 03:40 PM
I have both and like to shoot them both. They are good in there own right and the recoil is almost the same. I have to say I like shooting my .45 more though.
July 25, 2008, 03:42 PM
I'd spend some extra money, buy a well set up M1911A1 with a .22 LR conversion kit, and practice with both until you're proficient. THEN, I would shop around for a well set up Browning P-35 in 9mm, and practice with IT until proficient. With those three calibers, you're pretty well assured of being able to find ammo for ONE of them. Adding a 4" barreled (or longer) .357Mag would also broaden your ammo scrounging choices. The gent who mentioned getting a .357 carbine might have been halfway joking, but that would be a good addition, too.
July 25, 2008, 03:45 PM
I decided to get the .45 first. It's a Glock 21 with 13 round magazines so not worried about running out of ammo. I plan on getting a 9 MM somewhere down the line. Mainly for the range.
July 25, 2008, 03:58 PM
Magnus1959, there's SOMEone out there, making .22 LR conversion kits for your Glock. It sure makes learning how to shoot it a lot more pleasant, and probably faster.
July 25, 2008, 05:22 PM
SHTF/TEOTWAWKI arent popular words around here, so lets try to rephrase that a bit.
What would be the do it all, readily available in spite of ammo shortages caliber? Something that works, its chap to buy lots of and keep handy for a rainy day, or if ammo prices go up to prohibitive levels.
Yes, that would be 9mm. You can buy a lot of FMJ for practice and enough JHP to last you a lifetime and the ones of your grand kids.
Premium JHP 9mm works very well for self defense.
This reminds me of something.
A friend of mine inherited a double barrel .32 shotgun pistol. Cool looking gun.
Grandpa was wise enough to leave LOTS of ammo for that thing.
We shot a lot of that stuff, .32 paper shotshells over 50 years old. Very few rounds refused to go off, like 1 in 200 or so.
The gun isnt tactciool or anything, but blows big holes and is better than a sharp stick.
Ill make sure my kids have guns that last 100 years too, and ammo for them :D
July 25, 2008, 05:40 PM
I'm leaning towards 9mm, which i fired my grandpas 9mm. it's nice. Do 1911's and glock come in 9mm.
July 25, 2008, 05:44 PM
in just about anything
glock ,xd ,1911 platform, just about anything
July 25, 2008, 05:53 PM
You can get a pair of Sig P6s in 9mm now, for less than a new Glock. They're great guns
9mm > .45
Especially for SHTF, etc., because 9mm is much cheaper to practice with and stock up on than .45. If you want a handy carbine, 9mm really moves out of a 16" barrel, and they both take the same ammo. Hopefully I'll be buying a fun little Vector Uzi soon, to go along with my new Sigs.
My lolSHTF handguns are .357 (4" K-frames), because .38 LSWCHP+P is so cheap to stock up on, and has been putting badguys where they belong for many decades. My lolSHTF longuns are 12G shotguns, also very very cheap to buy slugs and buckshot on sale. 12G slugs and buckshot have also been putting badguys where they belong for many decades. Neither S&W K-frames or Remington 870s look evil (unless someone has made them all "tactical" and whatnot). Both are very easy to learn to operate.
July 25, 2008, 05:58 PM
Round and round the mulberry bush,
Deesie dosie daisy
I'll just keep a .38 Special
'cuz I'm mentally lazy!

July 25, 2008, 09:08 PM
Well, if you really want to open a can of worms, what about 10mm Auto???
Stephen A. Camp
July 25, 2008, 09:46 PM
This particular thread had a good response or two to be sure in my opinion, but being but one of what seems like 10K 9mm vs. 45 threads, it was already going downhill fast and there are so many similar caliber discussions (wars, debates, opinions or whatever) that yet another carbon copy does nothing, especially considering how these things eventually generate enough angst to wind up getting folks in trouble and generate a pile of complaints for the moderators. Let's just say that this latest resurrection of this neverending caliber discussion has run its course and move on to something else.
Thanks in advance.

text: The Associated Press Pennsylvania Prosecutors Swamped With Child Abuse Reports By The Associated Press • Sep 12, 2016 Igor Spasic / Flickr A nearly 40 percent increase in the number of reported cases of child abuse in Pennsylvania is straining the resources of county district attorneys' offices, with one prosecutor saying her staff is overwhelmed by the surging workload. Prosecutors say they support a 2014 legislative overhaul of the state's child abuse law, which, among other things, expanded the definition of child abuse and made more adults legally responsible for reporting suspected cases of it. But they're having trouble keeping up with the resulting surge in abuse claims.

Your stories from the Middle East
On the issue of Iraqi Kurds
The US Secretary of State John Kerry has chosen to embark on a trip to Iraq in his official capacity, in the midst of uncertainty over Iraq's future. Apart from addressing the regional security threat from ISIL, Kerry needs to talk about the political integration concern for Iraqi Kurds.
The US has been put in a difficult position over this issue because as much as it has Iraq's best interests at heart, as far as national political integration is concerned, the Kurds view this matter rather subjectively.
The Kurds want more power over affairs in Iraq, and a portion of this includes Kurdish oil exports, but the Kurdistan regional government, KRG, has put Washington at the heart of their foreign policy agenda. The Iraq war has divided opinion for the Kurds, who also, it's important to point out, regularly have to face homeless Iraqis delve into their region seeking food and shelter.
This population increase has left the Kurds in want for more resources and with all of Kerry's talk about unifying Iraq, this is only driving the Kurds further away, from the bigger picture here, of a post-war, much more politically stable and safe Iraq.

Modern Organocopper Chemistry
Organocopper compounds are now an integral tool in every modern preparative laboratory, allowing important stages of synthesis to be carried out selectively and in an elegant fashion. Yet a certain amount of experience is needed if they are to be used effectively. Non-experts in the field often have difficulty in choosing the most suitable reagent and reaction conditions for a particular synthetic problem. This handbook, edited by Norbert Krause, answers such questions, since it contains numerous useful tips and tricks on organocopper compounds gained from personal experience by an international team of authors. Organized according to reaction type and selectivity problem, it allows chemists working in both academia and industry laboratories to determine the optimal reagent for their needs. Chapters on structural and mechanistic aspects, as well as the use of organocopper compounds in target-oriented synthesis, complete this handbook which will stimulate a more effective use of these synthesis tools in everyday laboratory practice.

HBO is Delighted To Secure Vitali Klitschko's Next Defense
By Rick Reeno
More than a handful of people were surprised when K2 Promotions revealed on Monday morning that HBO bought the American television rights to Vitali Klitschko's upcoming defense of the WBC heavyweight title against Manuel Charr (21-0, 11KOs).
The network aired Vitali's September defense against Tomasz Adamek. But since Vitali's return in 2008, only two of his nine fights have been picked up by HBO.
Vitali's younger brother, WBO/IBF/IBO/WBA champion Wladimir Klitschko, was last seen on the HBO airwaves in July of 2011, when he dominated David Haye over twelve rounds.
Kery Davis, the senior vice president of sports programming at HBO, told BoxingScene.com that he was very happy to have Vitali back on the network.
The upcoming defense against Charr could very well be Vitali's last professional fight. Vitali (44-2, 40KOs) will hit the campaign trail in October, attempting to become the mayor of Kiev. If he wins the election, Vitali has already promised to retire from boxing in order to fully focus on his political career.
However, Vitali's potential year-end retirement was only a minor factor in the overall decision to purchase his fight, says Davis.
Vitali-Charr, which takes place on September 8th in Moscow, Russia - will air on HBO in a delayed capacity as the lead-in fight for the live televised doubleheader from the Oracle in Oakland, California. Andre Ward will defend his super middleweight title against Chad Dawson in the main event, and lightweights Antonio DeMarco and John Molina will collide in the co-feature.
"We have a main event with two of the best fighters in the world. Opening up with a Klitschko fight makes the whole night bigger," Davis told BoxingScene.com.
According to Davis, when Klitschko decisioned Haye last year, the network made a deal with the heavyweight brothers to air subsequent fights - as long as they fit the schedule.
The Klitschko brothers produce good ratings for HBO, says Davis. He cites scheduling issues with German network RTL as the official reason for HBO's inability to air several of the recent bouts involving both brothers.
HBO, lets get a Vitali vs David Haye! Make it happen!Comment by Bull24 on 07-17-2012
It isn't even a competitive match and HBO is showing it? Maybe they are replacing their star Khan with Vitali when Amir got exposed.Comment by Fix on 07-17-2012
Vitali might have Haye to thank for this. After Haye beat Chisora much more convincingly than Vitali, HBO are assuming the Vitali and Haye fight will happen so they're covering this one as a sort of build up to the…Comment by ShoulderRoll on 07-17-2012
This isn't bad as a lead in/"undercard" for Ward-Dawson.Comment by Kagami Taiga on 07-16-2012

The Ideas That Conquered the World
At the dawn of the twenty-first century, three ideas dominate the world: peace as the preferred basis for relations between countries, democracy as the optimal way to organize political life, and free markets as the indispensable vehicle for the creation of wealth. While not practiced everywhere, these ideas have—for the first time in history—no serious rivals as methods for organizing the world's politics, economics, and international relations.

Mirics Tv Receiver Makes Debut In Japan
Mirics™, developer of FlexiTV™ announces availability of their FlexiStream™ client software for Apple iOS devices, bringing live European DVB-T broadcast TV to personal screens, worldwide.
Partners with IO Data to Bring HDTV to Japanese PC Users
London, February 7 , 2012: Mirics™, developer of FlexiTV™, the world's first commercial software-based global TV receiver, announces availability of their FlexiStream™
FlexiTV™, the world's first and only software based TV receiver, developed by Mirics™, has been introduced to Japan by IO Data – the country's market leader for pc users.
The new product – the IO Data GV-TV 100 USB dongle – gives pc users in Japan HD TV reception, now the country has switched from analog to digital broadcasting.
The transition has been completed in all of Japan, except three prefectures, and 95% of Japanese households can now receive free HD TV programs, which will increase appetite for content.
The USB dongle uses Mirics' FlexiTV as the underlying reception technology, bringing software demodulation already proven in Europe and South America, to Japan.
IO Data is the market leader in Japan for PC TV accessories with 42% market share, so consumers – particularly those in the Akihabara area, who want to be ahead of the pack – will buy this tried and trusted brand above all others.
Said Simon Atkinson, Chief Executive of Mirics: "This exciting new, cost effective product will open up the live TV viewing market on the PC to a wider audience, by making quality HD viewing more affordable and a less passive experience.
It should have the effect of stimulating and expanding the market for viewing and managing TV content on the PC as a whole. Also, now the switchover to digital has taken place, Japanese households can now access multiple HD TV channels on their PCs as well as living room TVs."
The product supports ISDB-T Full-seg (for HD TV), One-seg (mobile reception at QVGA resolution), One-seg dubbing to iPad, iPod touch, iPhone and Android mobile.
The GV-TV100 is marketed with the user interface software brand of "Tele-king"
The GV-TV100 also supports the new SIM-sized form factor BCAS smart card, used instead of the credit-card sized BCAS card used in set-top boxes. With such a smart card, available free to Japanese citizens, the IO Data GV-TV100 is effectively a set-top box packed into a USB key.
The product is likely to replace the current IOD One-seg dongle as the entry-level dongle priced tentatively between 6000 and 9000 JPY. So, customers will be getting a more fully-featured product for a similar price to the OneSeg (QVGA resolution only) product that it is replacing.
About Mirics
Mirics provides total system solutions for converged wireless connectivity on portable consumer electronic devices such as Notebook PCs, Media Players and Cellphones. The initial focus of the company is the delivery of free-to-air broadcast services and content to portable computing and communications devices. With development, support and sales operations in the USA, UK, Hong Kong, China and Taiwan, Mirics has brought together a strong team with extensive experience in delivering high performance integrated circuits and algorithmic IP into high volume wireless, broadcast and cellular applications.

Finding Treblinka
- 16 August — 30 September 2016 *on now
The Wiener Library's current temporary exhibition explores the Nazi labour and extermination camps of Treblinka using the ground-breaking research of Staffordshire University archaeologist Dr Caroline Sturdy Colls and in artistic responses to the topic curated by Michael Branthwaite.
Between 800,000 and 1 million Jews, Poles and Roma from across Europe were killed during the Holocaust in the Nazi labour and extermination camps at Treblinka. Yet, the history of both camps is not well known. Few are aware of the scale of the killings that took place at the sites or the complexity and diversity of the camps' architecture. The very few survivors and the almost total destruction of the camp by the Nazis have left a scant historical record.
Since 2007, a team of forensic archaeologists, led by Dr Caroline Sturdy Colls, have investigated the sites of both the former Treblinka extermination and labour camps. Through the team's unique, predominantly non-invasive approach, a more accurate picture of the camps has emerged. At the same time, religious and ethical considerations surrounding their investigation have been respected. This work allowed the old gas chambers, mass graves and a large number of objects to be located. Sturdy Colls' forensic archaeological research is therefore one of the best ways to reconstruct the events that occurred at Treblinka.
Now, for the first time in the UK, this archaeological work has been adapted and displayed at the Wiener Library, in cooperation with Caroline Sturdy Colls and Michael Branthwaite. The exhibition features specially commissioned artworks by Michael Branthwaite, Janine Goldsworthy, Dave Griffiths, Hilary Jack and Jenny Steele.

Roundtable: Making a Difference: Critical Responses to the Refugee Crises Then and Now
- 2 November 2016 6-8pm
The current refugee crisis has provoked mixed responses in Britain, from manifestations of hostility and xenophobia to a grassroots effort to support refugees and demonstrate solidarity. At this event, speakers will reflect upon the historical examples of the work of Bertha Bracey and Eleanor Rathbone in working and campaigning for refugees in the 1930s and 1940s, and consider parallels with the present day situation, and the problems that such campaigners may encounter in attempting to gain sanctuary for victims of war, oppression and persecution.
Rabbi James Baaden on the work of Bertha Bracey, a Quaker who assisted hundreds of mainly Jewish refugees to come to Britain from Germany and Austria in the 1930s.
Dr Susan Cohen on the work of Eleanor Rathbone, the 'MP for Refugees' who campaigned for Britain to take more refugees during the 1930s and 1940s.
Daniel Trilling, a journalist, writer and campaigner who has reported extensively upon the current refugee crisis, will reflect on grassroots responses to the current refugee crisis.
The short talks will be followed by a Q and A and discussion and a reception.
Admission is free but booking is essential as space is limited
Genocide After the Holocaust
- 8 November 2016 — 17 January 2017
The Wiener Library is delighted to offer another opportunity for learners of all ages and backgrounds to enrol in a second course of study led by Emeritus Professor in Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Kingston University, Philip Spencer. The course will last ten weeks and will run every Tuesday from 8 November 2016 to 17 January 2017, with a break for holidays on 27 December. It will be hosted at the Library from 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm. The full price of the course is £175, just £17.50 per session.
The main aim of this course is to look at the phenomenon of genocide in the modern world. It has been argued that the Holocaust was a critical turning point, a catastrophe which required a fundamental rethinking of how the rights of human beings could be protected when states try to murder large numbers of people, including many of their own citizens, what we now call genocide. The course will begin with reflections on the Nazi attempt to annihilate the Jews and some of the immediate responses to the Holocaust, particularly the Genocide Convention which was passed by the newly formed United Nations in December 1948. The Convention was designed to commit the international community to halt and prevent the recurrence of this crime but there have nevertheless been several cases since 1948, across decades and continents. We will look first at some of the key crucial issues that arise when we think about what is involved in genocide and why it is (as the Tribunal on the Rwanda genocide put it) "the crime of crimes". We then examine a number of cases of genocide that have taken place since the Holocaust, and consider why almost nothing has been done to halt or prevent the crime, despite the promise of the Convention. Among the cases we will look at are the genocides in Cambodia, Guatemala, Iraq, Yugoslavia, Rwanda and Darfur. The course will conclude with some reflections on how justice might be provided in the aftermath of genocide.
Each week, there will be some basic directed reading. There will also be a longer list of readings each week. All of this you can access in the Library. The first hour each week will be a lecture, which will then be followed by a seminar discussion of a key question.
For further information and to enrol, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Professor Philip Spencer
Philip Spencer is Emeritus Professor in Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Kingston University and Visiting Professor in Politics at Birkbeck College, London University. He was the founder and director of the Helen Bamber Centre for the Study of Rights, Conflict and Mass Violence at Kingston University. He is the author of several books, including: Genocide Since 1945 (Routledge, 2012); of Nationalism: A Critical Introduction (Sage, 2002), Nations and Nationalism (Edinburgh University Press, 2006) (both with Howard Wollman); and of Antisemitism and the Left: The Return of the Jewish Question (with Robert Fine) to be published by Manchester University Press later this year. He is a Trustee of the Wiener Library for the Study of the Holocaust and Genocide and a Research Associate of the Pears Institute for the Study of Antisemitism. He is a member of the European Sociological Association Research Network for the Study of Racism and Antisemitism; and a member of the International Association of Genocide Scholars.
The full price of the course is £175, just £17.50 per session.

The book's opening chapters run parallel to the Wiener Library's exhibition A Bitter Road and before the talk, visitors will have the opportunity to view the exhibition.
Dr Anthony Grenville, whose parents came to Britain from Vienna in 1938, lectured in German at the Universities of Reading, Bristol and Westminster from 1971 to 1996.

PhD and a Cup of Tea: Wiener Library Documents Section 532
- 28 November 2016 1-2pm
We're delighted to welcome Ph.D. candidate, Miriam Schulz, to discuss her research on the Wiener Library's Documents Section 532 –– the archive of the as yet unknown, first Jewish historical committee documenting the Holocaust in Eastern Europe.
In November 1939, a group of 60 Jewish journalists and writers, refugees from recently occupied Poland, founded the collective Komitet tsu zamlen materialn vegn yidishn khurbn in Poyln 1939 (Committee to collect materials on the destruction of Polish Jewry 1939) in still independent Vilnius. Without delay, they embarked on a mission to gather documents and eye-witness accounts about the destruction of Polish Jewry since the German invasion on September 1, 1939. Miriam Schulz will present the history and legacy of this committee. By contextualizing its efforts withing the historiographical tradition of Eastern European Jewry (khurbn-forshung), her findings contribute to our understanding of Eastern European Jewish resistance during the Holocaust and reveal the interconnection of Vilnius' Komitet to communal archives and documenting efforts in the later ghettos––both in spirit and personnel-wise. Additionally, the archive in its digital form will be inaugurated.
Miriam Schulz (MA, Holocaust Studies, 2014) is a Ph.D. Student of Yiddish Studies at Columbia University, New York. She is also a research assistant for the project "Protecting Memory: Preserving and Memorializing the Holocaust Mass Graves of Eastern Europe" as well as the project "A Comprehensive History of the Jews of the Soviet Union" of NYU's Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies. Her pioneering study on "The Committee to collect materials on the destruction of Polish Jewry 1939" was published in German by Metropol-Verlag in October 2016 and includes the Yiddish to German translation of the Committee's six bulletins. As part of the print publication, the bulletins have also been published digitally and can be accessed alongside Schulz' translation.

In the original contribution titled "The Effects of Limitation of Activity Upon the Human Body," published June 6 (196:825-830), the legend for Fig 3 (p 827) contains a significant error. The percentage in the second sentence, "Demonstrable fatigue occurs following ten minutes of one-second contractions at 50% of maximal strength alternating with one-second rest periods," should properly read "... at 5% of maximal strength...." As the emphasis of the figure and the section on muscular endurance was that fatigue occurs when only a very small percentage of muscular strength is used, the error in the percentage may falsely reassure the reader that fatigue occurs only when heavy work is done.

Former student organizes class
Turner with his students in Baku. The photo was taken by one of the participants. Local photographer Jim Turner is used to shooting on-location in far off lands. He's been on photo shoots in London and in Scotland, but nothing like his most recent adventure to Baku, Azerbaijan and it was all because of a recent Bethany College international exchange student. Turner conducted a five-day photography class in January in Baku called "Magic in the Moment," that was hosted in part by the American Embassy and coordinated by Lamiya Korchiyeva, a former Bethany College student. Korchiyeva attended Bethany College in 2012 with the Global UGRAD Exchange Program. She was a photography student of Turner's when he taught at the college as an adjunct professor. "We started talking about this when she was a student here about three years ago," Turner said. "I pretended like I knew where Azerbaijan was and said I would go there, but I didn't really think it would ever happen."

NBC sets 'Rosemary's Baby' for a May Sweeps berth [or birth]
NBC has set a premiere date for the miniseries update of "Rosemary's Baby," marking a tight turnaround for the Ira Levin adaptation.
Production on "Rosemary's Baby" only began in January and only five months later, the four-hour telefilm will premiere on Sunday, May 11 and Thursday, May 15 airing from 9-11 p.m. on both nights. [As Friend of HitFix Joe Adalian noted on Twitter, the Sunday premiere is, of course, Mother's Day.]
Scott Abbott and James Wong wrote the script, which was directed by Oscar and Emmy nominee Agnieszka Holland.
The new take on the 1967 suspense novel transplants the action to Paris, where a young married couple (Zoe Saldana and Patrick J. Adams) move into an apartment with a haunted past. When Rosemary gets pregnant, she begins to distrust the intentions of both her seemingly kindly neighbors and her seemingly devoted husband.
In addition to Saldana and Adams, "Rosemary's Baby" stars Jason Isaacs and Carole Bouquet.
The May premiere date will make "Rosemary's Baby" eligible for Emmy consideration this year, should that happen to be relevant, but it also pits the project against a slew of variably high-profile finale dates in the May Sweeps period. The Sunday opening will be against the second hour of ABC's "Once Upon a Time" finale and the finale for "Revenge," while that Thursday night features finales for "Grey's Anatomy" and "Elementary" (as well as "Reign" and "Surviving Jack").

Live updates
Experts call on government to take action on poverty
Experts have called on the Government to take action over poverty say their research shows full-time work is not always sufficient to escape poverty.
Findings from the project, Poverty and Social Exclusion in the United Kingdom (PSE), based on two surveys, will be discussed at in London this week.
Professor David Gordon is from the Townsend Centre for International Poverty Research at the University of Bristol, which led the project involving 14,559 people in the UK.
"The coalition Government aimed to eradicate poverty by tackling the causes of poverty. Their strategy has clearly failed," Prof Gordon said.
He added: "The available high-quality scientific evidence shows that poverty and deprivation have increased since 2010, the poor are suffering from deeper poverty and the gap between the rich and poor is widening."
Households in poverty up sharply over 30 years
Experts say the percentage of households that fall below society's minimum standard of living has increased sharply over the last 30 years, despite the size of the economy doubling.
Researchers who carried out the largest study of poverty and deprivation conducted in the UK found the figure had increased from 14% to 33%.
The study said almost 18m people cannot afford adequate housing conditions, while 12 million are too poor to engage in common social activities.
One in three people cannot afford to heat their homes properly in winter, with four million children and adults not properly fed by today's standards.
Bristol Atlantic rowers return home

UWE students refuse to quit Atlantic rowing challenge
Two university students from UWE in Bristol are refusing to quit in their attempt to row across the Atlantic, despite becoming stranded at sea.
Lauren Morton and Hannah Lawton are taking part in the Atlantic Challenge, raising money in memory of a friend who died from cervical cancer.
But the pair have suffered so many problems, they remain more than a thousand miles from the finish line while all the other competitors have finished.
Stranded rower's father: "It's been a tough 69 days"
The father of 24-year-old rower Lauren Morton has spoken of his concern for his daughter and her partner Hannah, after they became stranded at sea.

My Country! 'Tis of Thee
Mormon Tabernacle ChoirBuy this song
My country,' tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing; land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrims' pride, from every mountainside let freedom ring! 2. My native country, thee, land of the noble free, thy name I love; I love thy rocks and rills, thy woods and templed hills; my heart with rapture thrills, like that above. 3. Let music swell the breeze, and ring from all the trees sweet freedom's song; let mortal tongues awake; let all that breathe partake; let rocks their silence break, the sound prolong. 4. Our fathers' God, to thee, author of liberty, to thee we sing; long may our land be bright with freedom's holy light; protect us by thy might, great God, our King.

Includes:The Pope of Greenwich Village (1984), MPAA Rating: R A Prayer for the Dying (1987), MPAA Rating: R The Desperate Hours (1990), MPAA Rating: R Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man (1991), MPAA Rating: R The Pope of Greenwich Village Set on the streets of New York's Little Italy, this dramatic series of character studies chronicles the lives and relationships between a disparate pair of Italian American cousins. Both of them want to leave the poverty of ghetto life, but each takes a dramatically different route when one of them joins the mob and the other accidentally impregnates his girlfriend. When the young gangster gets into deep trouble, the other must reevaluate his goals and his true feelings about his family. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide A Prayer for the Dying A man struggling to escape the political unrest of Northern Ireland finds that his violent past still follows him in this drama. Martin Fallon (Mickey Rourke) is a terrorist with the Irish Republican Army who, while attempting to blow up a British military transport, accidentally bombs a bus full of schoolchildren. The incident haunts Fallon, who decides to quit the IRA and escape to London. Fallon wants to relocate to America, but he lacks a passport, and his criminal past would prevent him from getting one. Jack Meehan (Alan Bates), a British gangster who knows about Fallon's past, offers him a deal -- he can get Fallon the papers and the cash to go to America, but in return he must kill a man. A priest, Father De Costa (Bob Hoskins), witnesses Fallon committing the murder, and Fallon wants to find a way to keep De Costa quiet without putting more blood on his hands. The original director of A Prayer for the Dying, Franc Roddam, left the production midway through shooting due to disputes with the producers, and star Mickey Rourke later attempted to disassociate himself from the film. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide The Desperate Hours The Desperate Hours directed by Michael Cimino, is an attempt to remake the Humphrey Bogart classic of the same name with indifferent results. Bosworth (Mickey Rourke), a brutal criminal on the run with his partners, takes over a house occupied by an unhappily married couple Nora (Mimi Rogers) and Tim (Anthony Hopkins) and their young son and daughter.

Rourke is Harley Davidson, a biker with the Halloween-costume garb of a leather jacket, short haircut, earring, and a scar. Johnson joins Rourke in the trick-or-treating as Marlboro, an ex-rodeo rider wearing a cowboy hat, vest, and dilapidated boots. They hang out at a neighborhood bar. When they find that a collection of greedy bankers want to increase the bar's payments so it will be forced to close, the two decide to help the bar out of its financial straits by robbing the bank of $2.5 million in order to pay the inflated tab and keep the bar in business. Unfortunately for the boys, the bank deals in an illicit drug called "the dream," and when they rob the armored car, they
