Anthony Owen, 68, was found unconscious 20 yards from the property next to his white Honda Civic, which was still running. Two neighbours, in the affluent Hale Village in Widnes, Cheshire, called an ambulance and Mr Owen was taken to hospital. However, the cancer specialist is not thought to have regained consciousness, and died on Saturday. Shocked residents described the surgeon, who was semi-retired, as a ‘pillar of the community’.
ITAG : Enterprise Architecture Guide The MIT Enterprise Architecture Guide (EAG) documents MIT's architectural principles and goals, the current state of MIT's enterprise architecture, and a future state architectural vision.

La storia dei cinesi negli Stati Uniti ci fa capire il razzismo di oggi - Igiaba Scego Dopo le elezioni statunitensi e la clamorosa vittoria di Donald Trump sono stati in molti a tirare in ballo nel dibattito pubblico la parola “fascismo”. Durante la campagna elettorale il neoeletto presidente americano è stato via via associato alle figure di Benito Mussolini e di Adolf Hitler. Qualcuno, soprattutto in Italia, lo ha paragonato anche all’ex premier (nonché miliardario) Silvio Berlusconi (che però, va ricordato, ha preso le distanze da Trump) e c’è chi si è spinto a definirlo addirittura un Hugo Chávez di destra, un caudillo del Ku Klux Klan. Tutti questi abbinamenti hanno un tratto in comune, quello di spiegare il fenomeno Trump – e soprattutto il fenomeno dei suoi elettori – con paragoni presi da mondi diversi da quello statunitense. Il leit motiv del dopo elezioni non a caso è stato “stanno tornando gli anni trenta”. Ma è davvero così? Sotto questo aspetto il paragone con gli anni trenta è puntuale e calzante. I primi cinesi arrivarono negli Stati Uniti intorno al 1840.
H. L. Mencken Mencken is known for writing The American Language, a multi-volume study of how the English language is spoken in the United States, and for his satirical reporting on the Scopes trial, which he dubbed the "Monkey Trial". He commented widely on the social scene, literature, music, prominent politicians, pseudo-experts, the temperance movement, and uplifters. A keen cheerleader of scientific progress, he was very skeptical of economic theories and particularly critical of anti-intellectualism, bigotry, populism, fundamentalist Christianity, creationism, organized religion, the existence of God, and osteopathic/chiropractic medicine. In addition to his literary accomplishments, Mencken was known for his controversial ideas. Early life[edit] Mencken was the son of August Mencken, Sr., a cigar factory owner of German ancestry. In his best-selling memoir Happy Days, he described his childhood in Baltimore as "placid, secure, uneventful and happy Career[edit] Personal life[edit]

Chicago Tribune Home Même sous Mao, la Chine n'a jamais cessé d'être Taoïste Il y a quelque temps, deux bus se sont télescopés dans la région de Canton. Celui dont le chauffeur avait eu la prudence d'orner son rétroviseur d'un portrait de Mao s'en est sorti sans un seul blessé. L'autre bus, qui ne possédait pas de portrait, est tombé dans le ravin et tous ses passagers sont morts. Depuis dix ans, ce genre d'histoire circule dans toute la Chine, de la frontière du Vietnam aux froideurs mandchoues. Et l'étranger non averti s'étonne : ce géant de la pensée marxiste-léniniste, que lui est-il arrivé ? La vitesse à laquelle s'est effectué soudain le retour des dieux, c'est-à-dire la remontée au grand jour de tout un spectre d'expériences souvent totalement inconnues des générations nées après 1949 - de la recherche spirituelle éclairée à l'obscur assouvissement du besoin magique (besoin d'autant plus furieux qu'il fut réprimé à mort), cette vitesse a quelque chose de stupéfiant. Par quel homme ? Comment comprendre cet énorme retournement ? - Par leur métaphysique ?
