...things that I had to watch out for [when I read the script]. First of all, not to ever panic. The other thing was to disregard the Nazi aspect. I put on the uniform, and that's taken care of by the costume designer. And [ignoring the Nazi part] was not easy to do, especially growing up in Austria, because there, you are inundated with information about this...

For much of the past five years, the euro has floated between $1.45 and $1.55, in large part due to U.S. policies aimed at keeping the dollar undervalued so dollar-priced American exports would be more affordable abroad.

"The return to a euro-dollar balance of under $1.30 by the end of the year now seems possible," French bank BNP Paribas recently reported. Of course, those...
Studying those changes is the next step for scientists like Gewirtz who want to understand the precise link between intestinal microbiota and obesity. An important part of that investigation will involve having an accurate map of the genetic makeup of those gut bugs. And in a separate paper published Wednesday in Nature, an international group of scientists generated the most comprehensive genetic map to date of human gut microbes, using 124 human fecal samples, which gives scientists just the critical window they need to figure out which species of bugs tend to reside in our intestines and which may contribute...

...British came to our country, they said everything we are doing was barbaric, was wrong, inferior in whatever way," he said. "Bear in mind that I'm a freedom fighter and I fought to free myself, also for my culture to be respected." The African National Congress Youth League, part of South Africa's governing coalition, went even further, claiming the treatment of Zuma was fueled by racism. "These British racists continue to live in a dreamland and sadly believe that Africans are still their colonial subjects, with no values and principles," the league said in a statement.
