Oxford Movement ：牛津復興運動：英國眾多國教教士于 1833 年在牛津大學所提倡之運動，主張恢復宗徒傳授和聖事的聖寵功效。透過該運動有多人改宗天主教，其中包括著名之紐曼樞機 John Henry Newman （ 1801-1890 ）。而英國天主教亦受其影響。

(1833 – 45) Movement within the Church of England that aimed to emphasize the church's Catholic inheritance as a source of legitimacy and deeper spirituality. Its main intent was to defend the Church of England as a divine institution against the threats of liberal theology, rationalism, and government interference. Though some in the movement (notably John Henry Newman and Henry E. Manning) ended up converting to Catholicism, most did not. Their concern for a higher standard of worship influenced not only the Church of England but also other British Protestant sects. The movement was also instrumental in the establishment of Anglican monasteries and convents.

Sticky Fingers Make the Show

The Brooklyn artist Adam Parker Smith’s new exhibition “Thanks” is made up entirely of works he stole from 77 artists: paintings, sculptures, sketchbooks, video and more.

An international standoff between two main remnants of Lehman Brothers ended, with a tentative deal settling a fight over $38 billion in bankruptcy claims that could speed recoveries for customers and creditors.

Sticky patch or meltdown?

How politicians could carelessly turn a temporary softening of the global recovery into something worse: leader




What is pneumonia?

Pneumonia causes inflammation of one or both lungs in the chest, usually due to infection. It causes disruption of the normal process of gas exchange, where oxygen is taken into the body and the waste product carbon dioxide removed.
This causes interruption of oxygen supply to the tissues which is potentially fatal, but thanks to modern antibiotics, many people, young and old, now make a good recovery. However, it's still a common cause of death among those who are seriously ill.



Fuzzy Link Between Capital Rules, Lending

Banks have suggested capital requirements would curtail lending, jeopardizing the fragile global economic recovery. But at least three recent studies cast doubt on that assertion.

1. The act of asserting.
2. Something declared or stated positively, often with no support or attempt at proof.

vatic, prophetic, oracular, quill pen

 When shooting on assignment he tended to retain the best images for himself: the portrait of Robert Graves that appeared in a 1941 issue of Picture Post shows a young man focused on his work; the one from the same session that Brandt held back shows the poet looking more mature, a quill pen clasped between his teeth and a slightly mad, oracular gleam in his eye.

Q. Was it your decision to dispense with Sybil and Matthew in the same season?
A. No. You see, in America, it's quite standard for an actor to sign, at the beginning of a series, for five or seven years. The maximum any British agent will allow you to have over an actor is three years. And Jessica and Dan wanted to go. The show had been very, very successful, tremendously so, and they were being offered great opportunities. Don't think I'm saying it critically - I don't blame them at all. I can remember when I was a young actor, and I just had this feeling it was time to go to London. I was doing repertory theater in the country, and I resigned halfway through the season. Of course, all my friends and my parents thought I was completely mad. I went up to London and I got a job in a West End show with Hayley Mills. I reminded myself of that when Jessica and Dan said they wanted to go. I thought, "Well, you can't be that snippy because on a scaled-down version, that's exactly what you did."

JAPANESE HOME COOKING: Stir-fry dishes with green bean, pork and cucumbers

It's reassuring to have precooked dishes waiting in the fridge for a quick easy meal. Megumi Fujii introduces two such dishes using in-season vegetables.

Taiwan motorists urged to give crabs right of way AFP TAIPEI — Motorists in southern Taiwan are being urged to give land crabs right of way during the animals' spawning season, wildlife authorities said on... go out of one's way (to do something) 1. Lit. to travel an indirect route or an extra distance in order to do something. I'll have to go out of my way to give you a ride home. I'll give you a ride even though I have to go out of my way. 2. Fig. to make an effort to do something; to accept the bother of doing something. We went out of our way to please the visitor. We appreciate anything you can do, but don't go out of your way. See also: out, way  in season1.  At the right time, opportunely, as in "The two young men desired to get back again in good season" (Charles Dickens, Martin Chuzzlewit, 1844). 2.  Available and ready for eating, or other use; also, legal for hunting or fishing. For example, Strawberries are now in season, or Let me know when trout are in season and I'll go fishing with you. Both usages date from the 1300s, as does the antonym out of season, used for "inopportunely," "unavailable," and also for "not in fashion." For example, Sorry, oysters are out of season this month, or This style used to be very popular, but it's been out of season for several years. spawn   音節 spawn 発音 spɔ'ːn レベル 社会人必須 spawnの変化形 spawns (複数形) • spawned (過去形) • spawned (過去分詞) • spawning (現在分詞) • spawns (三人称単数現在) [名][U] 1 《動物》はらご：魚類・両生類などの卵塊. 2 ((通例軽蔑)) (1) （人・動物などの, うようよした）子供たち, がきども.

To Save the Lion, a Call to Pen Him In

By JAMES GORMAN

A new paper from nearly 60 top lion scientists and conservationists suggests that building more fences may be the best way to save African lions.

On Dec. 8, 1941, the United States entered World War II as Congress declared war against Japan one day after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Will Mrs. Merkel Wake Up in Time?

If Europe’s leaders do not come up with a more robust plan, the judgment of global stock and credit markets is likely to be harsh and swift.

Prof Nohria will be the first HBS dean in living memory not to emerge from the fields of economics and finance. His specialist subjects are leadership and ethics. Far from dismissing the criticism – which has suggested that this elite MBA factory has produced selfish and amoral operators who seek mainly to maximise their personal wealth at the expense of their organisations – HBS wants to engage with this debate head on.

roman, narrative, bowel, garner, resolute opposition

 Blending themes of pop culture with techniques reminiscent of the old masters, Mark Ryden has created a singular style that blurs the traditional boundaries between high and low art. His work first garnered attention in the 1990s when he ushered in a new genre of painting, "Pop Surrealism," dragging a host of followers in his wake. He has trumped the initial surrealist strategies by choosing subject matter loaded with cultural connotation.

Repurchase Agreement - Repo for Lehman Brothers

雷曼兄弟公司（Lehman Brothers）倒閉調查報告出爐，震撼華爾街和倫敦金融城，重創銀行業信譽。各大金融機構人人自危，紛紛出面澄清絕無非法的作帳行為。
這份長達2,200頁的調查報告，完整揭發雷曼前高階主管和Ernst & Young審計員的惡行，也讓原來已聲名狼藉的銀行業更難堪。
倫敦MF全球公司分析師莫根說，不管是哪種銀行家，給他們一寸，他們就進一尺，雷曼是進好幾尺。
其他華爾街銀行紛紛跳出來自清，聲稱他們也對雷曼操弄會計帳目的手段相當驚訝。高盛、巴克萊資本和其他銀行12日表示，未使用附買回交易（Repo），隱藏資產負債表上的債務。
倫敦金融時報駐華爾街特派記者貝爾指出，大量使用Repo 市場的多是獨立投資銀行，現在獨立的投資銀行已較少見。其他銀行表示未參與這種交易，前雷曼員工和其他接受調查者也相信，雷曼是唯一使用Repo 105交易的公司。
不過報告指出，到2007年底左右，一般「普遍相信」雷曼是唯一使用這類交易的公司，但報告引述的部分電子郵件顯示，之前可能也有其他公司進行這種交易。
雷曼調查報告還指，雷曼是華爾街上以Repo瞞天過海的機構之一，但它能在美國和歐洲找到交易對手，協助其捏造財務部位，雖然這些交易對手可能不知情，但此事實也足以讓許多觀察家寒心。
一名華爾街資深主管說：「我看了這份報告後簡直快吐出來，讓我十分厭惡這個產業。」
不過，雷曼的交易對手從來不曾質問雷曼，或懷疑和雷曼進行附買回交易時，何以能得到比傳統更優惠的條件，這也不免啟人疑竇。
調查報告點名七家雷曼交易對手，名稱在報告中大多數只用簡稱表示。報告寫道：雷曼在2007到2008年的交易對手主要是瑞穗、巴克萊、瑞士銀行 （UBS）、三菱和KBC，代表的是瑞穗金融集團、巴克萊公司（Barclays PLC）、瑞士銀行集團（UBS AG）、三菱日聯金融集團和KBC集團旗下的部門。名稱比較完整呈現的是德意志銀行集團（Deutsche Bank AG）和荷蘭銀行控股公司（ABN Amro Holding NV）。

Repurchase Agreement - Repo

A form of short-term borrowing for dealers in government securities. The dealer sells the government securities to investors, usually on an overnight basis, and buys them back the following day.

For the party selling the security (and agreeing to repurchase it in the future) it is a repo; for the party on the other end of the transaction, (buying the security and agreeing to sell in the future) it is a reverse repurchase agreement.
Investopedia Says:
Repos are classified as a money-market instrument. They are usually used to raise short-term capital.

behead
(bĭ-hĕd')

Synonyms:	decapitate

buttle (BUT-l)

verb intr.: To do a butler's work.

Etymology
Back-formation from butler, from Old French bouteillier (cup-bearer), from bouteille (bottle). Originally, a butler was in charge of the wine. Earliest recorded use: 1867.

Usage
"The top hotels in Saudi Arabia are staffed by foreign men -- something I realized must be the case when my butler at the Al Faisaliah folded my underwear unprompted. If I were buttled by a Saudi, we'd probably be shuttled to Deera Square -- or Chop Chop Square, as it's better known -- where the public beheadings occur." — Maureen Dowd; A Girls' Guide to Saudi Arabia; Vanity Fair (New York); Aug 2010. http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2010/08/maureen-dowd-201008

careers advice

Katharine Horler, of Connexions, which provides advice to teenagers, said people were wrong to judge careers advice on whether they ended up doing the job their advisor suggested.
She explained: "That's not what careers advice is about.
"Careers advice is about developing decision making skills, developing resilience to help you manage the ups and downs that come with a career.
"Good careers advice is actually about helping people develop those skills for the whole of their careers and for the rest of their lives."

In London, a Taste of America

A look at three restaurants reaching across the Atlantic for flavor.

Spotlight:

Why did Coca-Cola get the new name, Coke Classic? It comes from the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" rule. Coca-Cola was the leading soft drink when it started to lose market share to the sweeter-tasting Pepsi. A decision was made to change Coke's formula. It was to be just a small change, but would at the same time allow the company to freshen its look and ignite some marketing buzz. Twenty-five years ago today, New Coke appeared on the shelves. It was a marketing disaster. Even though many people actually liked the sweeter taste, a small but very vocal group loudly objected to the change. Three months later, the company re-released a version of the original flavor, under the name Coke Classic. New Coke (also called Coca-Cola II) was discontinued in most places by 2002, and "Coca-Cola" refers to the flagship soft drink.
