I\u27d Weep with Thee

I\u27d weep with thee, if tears could keep,The memories of the past from me,I\u27d weep with thee, if tears could keep The memories of the past from me,Or happier far if I could weep,One hour of gladness back to thee;Or happier far if I could weepOne hour of gladness back to thee!I\u27d weep with thee, if tears could keep,The memories of the past from me; I\u27d weep with thee;I\u27d weep with thee. I\u27d weep with thee, if tears could bring,Again the sunny hopes we knew,I\u27d weep with thee, if tears could bring Again the sunny hopes we knew,Until my heart had tried each spring,Until my heart had tried each spring, of slumb\u27ring sorrow,O\u27er anew, of slumb\u27ring sorrow o\u27er anew,I\u27d weep with thee, if tears could bring,Again the sunny hopes we knew,I\u27d weep with thee,I\u27d weep with thee

Did China follow the East Asian development model?

China is located in East Asia and, just as Japan, Taiwan or (South) Korea at earlier stages of their development, has now grown very rapidly for some three decades. That is not enough, however, for it to qualify for membership of the club. The East Asian development model has a number of additional and important characteristics. Four are selected for discussion: the almost constant encouragement given to investment, the manufacturing sector and external competitiveness, and pursued via a variety of fairly interventionist industrial, trade and financial policies; a concomitant belief in the virtues of intense domestic (Japan and Taiwan) and foreign (Korea) competition; a set of broadly sensible and appropriate macroeconomic policies; and a number of favourable (pre-)conditions, such as the presence of a homogeneous population, a relatively high stock of human capital, reasonable income equality and fairly authoritarian governments. China, since reforms began in the late 1970s, has shared some of these characteristics, but not all. In particular, it is still much more of a command economy than the other three countries have ever been, yet, at the same time, has embraced globalization with, arguably, much greater enthusiasm than was done, in earlier times, by Japan, Taiwan or Korea. If China's experience, however, is compared with that of other, more or less successful, developing countries, the similarities with the East Asia development model would seem to dwarf such differencesChina, Growth, East Asia, Economic Policy

Modeling the Rise of Fibril Magnetic Fields in Fully Convective Stars

Many fully convective stars exhibit a wide variety of surface magnetism, including starspots and chromospheric activity. The manner by which bundles of magnetic field traverse portions of the convection zone to emerge at the stellar surface is not especially well understood. In the Solar context, some insight into this process has been gleaned by regarding the magnetism as consisting partly of idealized thin flux tubes (TFT). Here, we present the results of a large set of TFT simulations in a rotating spherical domain of convective flows representative of a 0.3 solar-mass, main-sequence star. This is the first study to investigate how individual flux tubes in such a star might rise under the combined influence of buoyancy, convection, and differential rotation. A time-dependent hydrodynamic convective flow field, taken from separate 3D simulations calculated with the anelastic equations, impacts the flux tube as it rises. Convective motions modulate the shape of the initially buoyant flux ring, promoting localized rising loops. Flux tubes in fully convective stars have a tendency to rise nearly parallel to the rotation axis. However, the presence of strong differential rotation allows some initially low latitude flux tubes of moderate strength to develop rising loops that emerge in the near-equatorial region. Magnetic pumping suppresses the global rise of the flux tube most efficiently in the deeper interior and at lower latitudes. The results of these simulations aim to provide a link between dynamo-generated magnetic fields, fluid motions, and observations of starspots for fully convective stars.Comment: 20 pages, 15 figures, accepted to Astrophysical Journa

Education and Wage Inequality in Germany: A Review of the Empirical Literature

This paper reviews the current state of knowledge on the link between education and wage inequality in Germany. The wage inequality is characterized by its stability, although a more detailed analysis reveals structural differences, especially between East and West Germany. Both the between and within educational levels wage inequality changed little over time, while there are some tendencies of a converging distribution of education. A need for further research is identified in the effects of education on wage inequality in separate cohorts as well as the direct links between the two distributions in Germany. --

Employment of Mothers After Childbirth: French-German Comparison

This paper compares the work attachment of French and German women after childbirth. Both fertility and employment of mothers are higher in France than in Germany. Since the sample of mothers deciding on employment after a child is born might not be representative for all women, we take account of selectivity by explicitly modelling the childbirth decision of women. Furthermore, it proved essential to distinguish between part-time and full-time employment. Background characteristics appear to affect both the birth and the employment decisions in a different way in France and Germany. Some of the impacts can be related to different family policy regulations. --fertility,labour supply

Vom personalen zum institutionellen Netzwerk : Strategiebildung und erfolgskritische Faktoren für SeniorInnen-Netzwerke

Das Jahr 2030 und die mit ihm einhergehenden soziostrukturellen und demographischen Wandlungsprozesse sind der Rhöner Regionalinitiative für die SeniorInnen von morgen nicht fern. Unter der Leitfrage „Wie werden wir im Jahr 2030 als ältere Menschen in der Rhön leben“ sucht die SeniorInneninitiative nach neuen Strukturen für ein altersangemessenes Leben im ländlichen Raum. Hier ist in der Rhön ein Forum entstanden mit dem Ziel eines tragfähigen und zukunftsweisenden Netzwerks für neue und altersgerechte Lebensformen. Modellhafte Lebenspraxen für eine hohe Lebensqualität im Alter sollen hier erprobt und institutionalisiert werden
