P. Nikiforos Diamandouros, the European Ombudsman, has published his Annual Report for 2008 (27 April 2009). The full 100 page report is available in English, but summaries are on offer in the other official languages of the European Union. This is how the report explains its own structure: The structure of the new Report is designed to guide the reader logically from an explanation of the Ombudsm...

Asahi Shimbun is citing an official report published by the State Oceanic Administration that says Chinese leaders decided last year to back plans to build China's first aircraft carrier. Despite numerous official references in the past, this would represent the first official validation of an aircraft carrier construction effort.

The Chapters event in Ottawa on Rideau Street had the most powerful advertising imaginable: CFRA radio plugged it twice that same morning, so books flew off the shelves, and the store ran out. ...

Yes, they’ve a new report out. Guess who contributed? Once the technical genius at nef manages to upload a version of the report which will download we’ll be able to have a look at how much fun they’ve got in store for us, won’t we?
