Roger Ebert Obituary
Two
thumbs up for Mr. Ebert
He revolutionized the world of movies and television and he was the
first movie critic to receive a Pulitzer Prize, in 1975, for the reviews
he did for The Chicago Sun-Times. Twenty years later he was the
first movie critic to receive an honour deemed for some of the best
celebrities in the world: his very own star on the Hollywood Walk of

Moldavian "war literature" examples
The Second World War in songs
Who is interested in singing war songs? Is it really "prestigious" and
"trendy" for young people to be involved in such kind of activities?
After visiting the gala-concert "Victory-68" which lasted more than
three hours and were mostly attended by students and children, the belief
that history isn't just a formality for at least some young people became
stronger... >>

Economics
Business and human rights
The
Triple Bottom Line
Whether they like it or not, transnational corporations are well
known for their systematic violation of human rights. Think of the severe
water shortages created by Coca-Cola in several states in India, the
human rights abuses in Nigeria fuelled by Shell, or the labour exploitation
that characterises the fashion industry. Of course, in the last years
the international community has been taking action to tackle unethical
business practices; however, the tragic events in Bangladesh have proven
that the instruments and agreements currently in place are not enough
to make corporations accountable for their misconduct... >>

In 2010, the United Nations climate change conference agreed that
our current carbon emissions needed to be reduced if we wanted to avoid
a rise of the global average temperature of more than 2oC above pre-industrial
levels. The world's reserves clearly exceed the amount of coal, oil
and gas we are allowed to use if we want to meet that goal. Even so,
