Unhealthy Profits
The Private Finance Initiative (PFI) - the use of private funds to build public sector infrastructure - began in 1992. Since then it has been one of the most contentious policies advocated by both Conservative and Labour governments. After 25 years of costly failure the policy has now been abandoned by Labour and Tory parties. 125 British PFIs are NHS projects, which will cost over £80 billion for buildings built for £12bn. Many PFI companies are now owned offshore, paying no tax on profits, while the extra costs of PFI hang like a millstone dragging down NHS trusts. Unhealthy Profits explores the theory and practice, costs and consequences of PFI, how it has spread world-wide, and what can be done about it. And as a unique case study, it tells the story of the UNISON Branch in Mid Yorkshire Hospitals Trust that has commissioned the book - and fought PFI all the way.

Nature's Child
As I write Hermione's twelfth year is drawing to a close. The years of innocence are waning. But we have had the good fortune to live through a period when a child's mind is wide open and as absorbent as a sponge. Blessed years of exploration and discovery, fat and full of the natural world, which surrounds her here ... the mountains and forests and ospreys, eagles, otters and pine martens of a beautiful land.' NATURE'S CHILD is John Lister-Kaye's account of bringing up his daughter to appreciate the nature around her so beloved to himself. It is also a moving meditation on that world, and on their relationship, as he shows her how caterpillars metamorphose into moths; how beavers build dams in Norway; how half a million sea birds migrate to Shetland once a year to breed; how white rhinos behave in the wilds of Swaziland; how baby polar bears are raised on an archipelago in the Arctic Ocean. As John puts it: 'Life is a collection of fragments of time charged with deeply personal sensation and meaning ... we had watched polar bears for a few minutes, but the recollection of those images are locked in for life. What is love if not time given in joy and delight?

Its pages course with sympathy, humility, and wisdom' Helen Macdonald, author of H is for Hawk From his home deep in a Scottish glen, John Lister-Kaye has watched and come to understand intimately the movements and habits of the animals, and in particular the birds, that inhabit the wild and magnificent Highlands.

The Why Axis
Based on groundbreaking original research, The Why Axis is a colourful examination of why people do what they do - and how effective incentives can spur people to change their behaviour and achieve more. Uri Gneezy and John List are a little like the anthropologists who spend months in the field studying people in their native environments. But rather than acting as impartial observers, these two intrepid economists have set out to study the ways people act in order to try to solve major problems in society, such as the gap between rich and poor students and the violence plaguing inner city schools; the real reasons people discriminate; and the continuing pay disparity between men and women. Their field experiments in the factories, communities, and shops where real people live, work, and play show how incentives can change outcomes. Their results will change the way you think about and take action on both small and large problems, and force us as a society to stop making assumptions and to rely instead upon the evidence of what really works.

Johnny Hallyday
Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 51. Chapitres: Liste des chansons de Johnny Hallyday adaptées d'une chanson étrangère, Tour 66, Jean-Philippe, D'où viens-tu Johnny ?, Liste des chansons de Johnny Hallyday reprises par d'autres interprètes, Lorada, L'Idole des jeunes. Extrait: Johnny Hallyday, de son vrai nom Jean-Philippe Smet, né le 15 juin 1943 à Paris, est un chanteur, compositeur, interprète et acteur français. Après plus de 50 ans de carrière, Johnny Hallyday reste l'un des plus célèbres chanteurs francophones et l'une des personnalités les plus présentes dans le paysage médiatique français : 2 105 couvertures de magazines lui ont été consacrées. Sa discographie officielle compte 47 albums studio et 26 albums live. Il a vendu plus de 100 millions de disques, obtenu 40 disques d¿or, 22 de platine, 3 de diamant et 8 Victoires de la musique. Il a attiré 28,4 millions de spectateurs en 180 tournées et 26 « rentrées parisiennes » (de l'Alhambra en 1960 au stade de France en 2010). Il a enregistré plus de 1 000 chansons, dont environ 230 adaptations et a par ailleurs, composé pour lui-même une centaine de chansons, ainsi que quelques titres pour d'autres interprètes. Si Johnny Hallyday ne fut pas le premier chanteur de rock'n'roll français, il est le premier à avoir popularisé cette musique dans l'Hexagone. S'il lui est parfois reproché d'être un « chanteur caméléon » », force est de reconnaître qu'il a bien plus souvent précédé les modes, qu'il ne les a suivies. En 1961, il lance le twist en France, puis le mashed potatoes en 1962; quant aux modes telles que le disco, il les a purement et simplement ignorées. Si Johnny Hallyday a connu nombre d'influences musicales tels que le rhythm'n'blues, la soul, la pop et autres rock psychédélique, toutes ont pour point commun, à l'instar du rock, de puiser leurs origines dans le blues. Malgré de nombreuses incursions dans la variété, sans oublier nombre de ballades et de rythmes country, le rock est resté sa principale référence. Son apport à la scène française demeure considérable. D'abord décrié, puis reconnu comme showman d'exception, il a imposé sa marque, amenant le tour de chant traditionnel vers un véritable spectacle. Si, à l'international, il n'est jamais parvenu à s'imposer durablement a

Norwegische Kirche
Quelle: Wikipedia. Seiten: 31. Kapitel: Bischof der Norwegischen Kirche, Immanuelkirche, Johan Nordahl Brun, Bartholomæus Deichman, Gisle Johnson, Liste der Bischöfe der Norwegischen Kirche, Johan Storm Munch, Hans Riddervold, Christian Frederik Hagerup, Jens Riber, Bistum Oslo, Ole Christian Kvarme, Sogn, Laila Riksaasen Dahl, Per Oskar Kjølaas, Tor Berger Jørgensen, Helga Haugland Byfuglien, Halvor Nordhaug, Solveig Fiske, Ingeborg Midttømme, Tor Singsaas, Rosemarie Köhn, Prestegjeld, Olav Skjevesland. Auszug: Die Immanuelkirche (hebr. ¿¿, Knessijat Immanu'el, englisch , norwegisch ) ist eine protestantische Kirche im Viertel der American Colony (auch Templer- oder Deutsche Kolonie genannt) in Jaffa, einem Ortsteil von Tel Aviv-Jaffa in Israel. Heute dient die Kirche einer lutherischen Gemeinde der Norwegischen Israelsmission (norwegisch ; englisch ). Die Kirche wurde 1904 erbaut und ihre erste Gemeinde geht auf das Jahr 1858 zurück. Das Kirchengebäude steht in der Straße Rechov Beer-Hofmann 15 (¿¿). Die erste Gemeinde formierte sich im Jahre 1889 als Kirchengemeinde und wurde im Jahre 1906 ein vollgültiges Mitglied der Evangelischen Landeskirche der älteren Provinzen Preußens. Im Jahre 1858 entsandte die Pilgermission St. Chrischona, Riehen bei Basel, Peter Martin Metzler und seine Frau Dorothea nach Jaffa, um eine Missionsstation aufzubauen. Beide verdienten ihren Lebensunterhalt durch verschiedene Unternehmen. Von Mitte 1861 bis Anfang 1862 logierte der lungenkranke russische Adlige Platon Grigorjewitsch Ustinow (russisch , 1840¿1918; Großvater Peter Ustinovs) in ihrer Herberge, und die Metzlers gewannen ihn als Finanzier ihrer Unternehmen. Ustinow überließ ihnen eine beträchtliche Summe Geldes, so dass sie sich ihren Traum, eine Missionsschule und eine Krankenstation in Jaffa zu errichten, erfüllen konnten. Im Mai 1862 berichtete Metzler St. Chrischona, sie haben eine Krankenstation eröffnet, und die Pilgermission kündigte angesichts dieser erfreulichen Fortschritte an, zwei Diakonissen aus dem Diakonissenhaus in Riehen als Krankenpflegerinnen zu entsenden. 1866 geriet Metzler in Streit mit dem protestantischen Bischof von Jerusalem, Samuel Gobat, da dieser die Mission in Jaffa Pfarrer Johannes Gruhler unterstellt hatte, der als anglikanischer Pfarrer in Ramle amtierte. Doch Metzler, der die Mission Jaffa aufgebaut hatte, war dort bis dahin selbst als Seelsorger tätig. Den meisten Gemeindemitglieder missfiel der anglikanische Ritus und sie zogen es vor, an Metzlers Pr

At the Water's Edge
For the last thirty years John Lister-Kaye has taken the same circular walk from his home deep in a Scottish glen up to a small hill loch. Each day brings a new observation or an unexpected encounter - a fragile spider's web, an osprey struggling to lift a trout from the water or a woodcock exquisitely camouflaged on her nest - and every day, on his return home, he records his thoughts in a journal. Drawing on this lifetime of close observation, At The Water's Edge encourages us to look again at the nature around us, to discover its wildness for ourselves and to respect and protect it.
