Champions League Dortmund the odd-one-out as Bayern, Leverkusen advance in Europe
Germany has two teams in the knock-out stages of the Champions League after Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen successfully navigated the group stages. German champions Borussia Dortmund, however, failed to progress.
But not just any book! “NurtureShock,” with its Toffleresque title, promises to revolutionize parenthood with “New Thinking About Children.”
Much has changed since 1985, when Euny Hong, an author of a new book called "The Birth of Korean Cool", arrived in Seoul. South Korea was most definitely not hip. Its musicians had been muzzled by censorship, and busking, considered a form of protest, had been banned. From this unpromising position South Korea managed to charge past Japan to become Asia's foremost trendsetterhttp://econ.st/1nAekYn
