Scottish Justice Minister Defends Bomber's Release
阿伦特的政治观-平庸的恶
of human beings as if all of humanity were just one individual, is possible only if each and every person can be reduced to a never - changing identity of reactions, so that each of these bundles of reactions can be exchanged at random for any other… The campus… serve the ghastly experiment of eliminating, under scientifically controlled conditions , spontaneity itself as an expression of human behavior and of transforming the human personality into a mere thing, into something that even animals are not… ” (Adrendt, 1976, pp. 438)
„emerged simultaneously in all Western countries during the nineteenth century‟. In particular, racism became the main ideological feature of imperialist politics – the empire-builders of the nineteenth century created a justification for conquest and a biological basis for community that made citizenship redundant. Race, says Arendt, was the „emergency explanation‟ concocted by Europeans to make sense of the unfamiliarity of what they encountered on „the Dark Continent‟.

波士顿爆炸案使美国安保级别提升波士顿马拉松爆炸案发生之后，美国国内从世贸中心、时报广场，到白宫及各类体育场馆均提高了安保级别，警方增派了重点场所的巡逻警力，并派出反恐小分队参与安保工作。
From the World Trade Center and Times Square in New York to the White House and sports venues across the country, police patrolled i n packs and deployed counterterrorism teams Monday as security was stepped up after explosions at the Boston Marathon.Worries also reverberated（使回响，使反射） across the Atlantic, where an already robust security operation was being beefed up for Wednesday's ceremonial funeral for former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. The event at St. Paul's Cathedral, to be attended by Queen Elizabeth II and other dignitaries, calls for a procession through the streets of London, with Thatcher's flag-draped coffin carried on a horse-drawn carriage.British police were also reviewing security plans for Sunday's London Marathon —the next major international race —because of the bombs that killed three people and injured more than 140 in Boston.Across the U.S., security was tightened at landmarks, government buildings, transit hubs and sporting events. Law enforcement agencies also urged the public via Twitter and Facebook to report suspicious activity to the police.In New York, authorities deployed so-called critical response teams—highly visible patrol units that move in packs with lights and sirens, —along with more than 1,000 counterterrorism officers. Highly trafficked areas like the Empire State building, Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick's Cathedral, the United Nations and the Wo rld Trade Center site were being especially monitored.Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the p olice department was fully prepared to protect the city."Some of the security steps we are taking may be noticeable," Bloomberg said. "And others will not be."In Washington, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano urged the American public "to be vigilant and to listen to directions from state and local officials.""At the president's direction, the Department of Homeland Security is providing any support necessary in this ongoing investigation," Napol itano said.At the White House, the Secret Service expanded its security perimeter after the attacks, shutting down Pennsylvania Avenue and cordoning off the area with yellowpolice tape. Several Secret Service patrol cars blocked off entry points, although the White House was not on lockdown and tourists and other onlookers were still allowed in the park across the street.Speaking late Wednesday from the White House, President Barack Obama declared that those responsible would "feel the full weight of justice," though he urged a nervous nation not to jump to conclusions and pointedly avoided using the words "terror" o r "terrorism."However, top lawmakers declared the deadly incident an act of terrorism, and a White House official said it was being treated that way.Police in Los Angeles, Washington, San Diego, Las Vegas, Detroit, Atlanta and other major cities were monitoring events closely and assessing increases in security measures.In California, emergency management officials activated their statewide threat assessment system, which was established after the S ept. 11 attacks. And officials in multiple cities and counties throughout the state were reviewing information from federal authorities for possible threats.In Seattle, police increased patrols in neighborhoods and around government buildings and other facilities. In Colorado a statewide alert was sent out advising law enforcement agencies to look out for suspicious activities.In New Jersey, au thorities raised security statewide, calling in off-duty state police officers and deploying bomb units, aviation crews, tactical teams and search and rescue assets as a precaution.Transit and port o fficials in New York and New Jersey were on heightened alert at bridges, tunnels and on rail lines between the two states, as well as on New York City's subway system and commuter rails.And at the Port of Los Angeles and Long Beach, as well as at three m ajor Los Angeles airports, including Los Angeles International, law enforcement officials were in a "heightened state of vigilance（警戒）," with increased patrols, authorities said.。

作为进步主义时代的一个领袖级知识分子，他曾先后任普林斯顿大学校长，新泽西州州长等职。
1912年总统大选中，由于西奥多·罗斯福和威廉·塔夫脱的竞争分散了共和党选票，以民主党人身份当选总统。
迄今为止，他是唯一一名拥有哲学博士头衔的美国总统（法学博士衔除外），也是唯一一名任总统以前曾在新泽西州担任公职的美国总统。
在第一个任期中，威尔逊支持民主党控制的议会通过联邦储备法案（Federal Reserve Act），克莱顿反托拉斯法案（Clayton Antitrust Act），联邦农田贷款法案（Federal Farm Loan Act），还通过新的收入法在联邦一级开征收入税，以及建立联邦贸易委员会。
但他也同时因为支持在联邦资助的机构中实施种族隔离，导致大批黑人员工被解职，而遭到当时民权运动团体以及后人的批评。
于1916年大选中勉强胜出后，威尔逊第二个任期的中心议题是第一次世界大战。
尽管他在竞选时打出了“他让我们远离了战争”（he kept us out of the war）的口号，美国的中立政策却未能持久。
德国经外交秘书阿瑟·齐默尔曼发送给墨西哥、保证其若两国结盟德国将帮助墨重新获得被美国占领之北方数州的电报，以及发动无限制潜艇战促使威尔逊多次对德国给予警告，并最终于1917年4月要求国会宣战。

未成年不是犯罪的挡箭牌英语作文
未成年不是犯罪的挡箭牌英语作文Minors should not be used as a shield against crimeIn recent years, there have been cases where underage individuals commit crimes and are excused based on their age. This has led to a misconception that minors are a shield against criminal responsibility. However, it is important to recognize that being a minor does not excuse criminal behavior and should not be used as a shield against crime.First and foremost, it is crucial to understand that minors are not above the law. While the legal system may take into account a minor's age and level of understanding when determining criminal responsibility, this does not mean that minors can commit crimes with impunity. They must still be held accountable for their actions and face appropriate consequences for their behavior. This not only serves to uphold the principles of justice and fairness but also acts as a deterrent to prevent further criminal behavior.Furthermore, excusing criminal behavior based on age sends the wrong message to young individuals. It suggests that they can engage in illegal activities without facing the consequences, which can lead to a sense of entitlement and disregard for thelaw. This can ultimately result in a cycle of criminal behavior that is harmful to both the individual and society as a whole.It is also important to consider the impact that using minors as a shield against crime can have on victims. All too often, the focus is placed on the rights and well-being of the offender, while the needs of the victim are ignored. Victims deserve justice and closure, and allowing offenders to escape accountability based on their age can deny them the opportunity to see justice served.In conclusion, minors should not be used as a shield against crime. While their age and level of understanding may be taken into account when determining criminal responsibility, this should not be used as an excuse to avoid consequences for criminal behavior. It is important to uphold the principles of justice and accountability, and ensure that individuals of all ages are held responsible for their actions. By doing so, we can create a safer and more just society for all.。

It once was in the middle of a massive controversy that questioned the ingredients and whether the chips were actually potato chips at all.From 2007 to 2009，the makers of the “once⁃you⁃pop⁃you⁃cant⁃stop” chips stood in front of three different levels of the British judiciary trying to defend the decision that Pringles chips were not—by definition—potato chips.Heres how this comically complicated problem started. In the mid⁃20th century， a tax was born called the value⁃added or VAT tax. This “consumption tax” started off as a 10 percent tax on all goods bought from a business. More than 20 percent of the worlds tax income comes from thevalue⁃added tax making it a pretty big deal.In Britain， most foods are exempt from the value⁃added tax， except for potato chips or “similar products made from the potato，or from potato flour”. This led to a long and ha rd journey to figure out whether or not Pringles were actually potato chips. If they were ruled as chips， Pringles parent company at the time， Procter & Gamble， would be subject to a 17.5 percent VAT tax.Procter & Gambles initial argument was that Pringles were not potato chips because they didnt “contain enough potato to have the quality of ‘potatoness’”. They also argued Pringles didnt resemble the shape of a potato chip.In 2008， a lower British court agreed and ruled that Pringles were in fact not potato chips，mainly because they contained only 42 percent potato and had “a shape not found in nature”. But just a year later， the Court of Appeal re⁃examined and changed that decision， calling Procter & Gambles argument that the ingredients of a product didnt define the product “hogwash”.With that decision， the behemoth corporation had to pay $160 million in taxes， while—unwillingly—calling their newfangled potato chips， well， potato chips. And that is the story of Pringles and its brief dance with the world of taxes， junk food and British judges.[Reading][Check]1. Why is a question raised in the first paragraph？A. To arouse readers interest.B. To get the answer from readers.C. To warn readers of the food safety.D. To remind readers to make full use of food.2. Why are there arguments over whether Pringles were potato chips？A. Pringles contain a low percent of potato.B. The shape of Pringles is quite different from a potato chip.C. Different taxes will be paid based on different judgments.D. Different levels of the British judiciary have different opinions.3. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs？A. Pringles are potato chips.B. Pringles are regarded as junk food by British judges.C. Pringles should pay $160 million in taxes.D. Pringles chips contain enough potato and flour.4. Whats the authors purpose in writing the text？A. To show how to make Pringles.B. To promote Pringles.C. To explain the strict rules about the tax in Britian.D.

国会下议院英语演讲稿：哈珀总理的反恐斗争计划
国会下议院英语演讲稿：哈珀总理的反恐斗争计划Ladies and gentlemen of the House of Commons,I stand before you today to address one of the most pressing issues facing our nation: the fight against terrorism. As Canadians, we take pride in our values of freedom, democracy, and human rights. Yet, our very way of life is under attack by those who seek to impose their extremist ideologies upon us.Today, I want to outline my government's plan to counter this threat and safeguard our nation. Our anti-terrorism strategy has three key elements: prevention, protection, and intervention.Firstly, prevention. We cannot afford to wait until a terrorist attack takes place before taking action. We need to identify and disrupt potential threats before they can harm our citizens. To achieve this, we will invest in intelligence gathering and analysis, strengthening our borders, and providing law enforcement with the resources they need to investigate and disrupt terrorist plots.Secondly, protection. We need to be prepared for the worst-case scenario. That means investing in our emergency response capabilities, ensuring our critical infrastructureis resilient to attack, and enhancing our ability to respond quickly and effectively to a terrorist incident.Finally, and perhaps most importantly, intervention. We need to address the root causes of radicalization and extremism, and empower communities to reject violence and hatred. We will do this by working with community leaders, civil society groups, and other partners to develop programs that promote inclusion, tolerance, and respect for diversity.Of course, none of this can be done in isolation. We will continue to work closely with our allies, particularly the United States and the United Kingdom, as well asinternational organizations such as the United Nations, to share intelligence and coordinate our efforts. We will also engage with Muslim communities both in Canada and abroad, to build bridges and break down the walls of suspicion and mistrust.Ladies and gentlemen, I know that some may criticize our strategy as being too heavy-handed or too soft, too inclusiveor not inclusive enough. That is the nature of democracy鈥?we will always have different opinions and viewpoints. However, I firmly believe that our anti-terrorism planstrikes the right balance between protecting our citizens and upholding our values.In conclusion, let me say this: the fight against terrorism is not an easy one, nor one that can be won overnight. But by working together, by staying resilient, and by staying true to our values, we can and will prevail. Thank you.。

美国康涅狄格州出台严厉控枪法案美国康涅狄格州立法会最近提出了一份控枪立法议案，禁止销售高载弹量弹夹，对所有私人枪支交易进行背景审查，同时对手中持有十颗以上子弹弹夹的用户进行登记。
此外，该法案还规定，在该州购买任何武器需先获得资格证。
Connecticut state legislators have reached a deal to bring in some of the toughest gun laws in the US.The proposal incl udes a ban on a new high-capacity ammunition（弹药，军火） magazines like the one that was used by Adam Lanza to kill 20 children and six teachers in the Newto wn school shooting in Dec ember.It also calls for background checks for private gun sales and a new registry for existing magazines that carry 10 or more bullets, something of a compromise for pa rents of Newtown victims who had wanted an outright ban.The package creates what members of the state's general assembly said was the nation's first statewide dangerous weapon offender registry, immediate universal background checks for all firearms sales and expansion of Connecticut's assault weapons ban.A new state-issued eligibility certificate would be needed to purchase any rifle, shotgun or ammunition under the legislation. To get the certifi cate, a buyer would need to be fingerprinted, take a firearms training co urse and undergo a national criminal background check and involuntary commitment or voluntary admission check.The deal is "the most comprehensive package in the country because of its breadth," said Senate Minority Leader John McKinney, a Republican whose district includes Newtown.Mr McKinney said people tend to focus on assault weapons and hig h-capacity magazines, but he said "there's a lot here underneath the surface" addressing mental health and other issues.The proposal was revealed to rank-and-file members after weeks of negotiations among legislative leaders. A vote was expected later this week in the legislature, where Democrats control both chambers, making passage all but assur ed. The bill would then be sent to Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, who has helped lead efforts to strengthen the state's gun laws.Both Democratic and Republican leaders were expected to s upport the proposal. Connecticut is sending a message to Washington and the rest of the country "thisis the way to get this job done," said House Speaker Brendan Sharkey, a Democrat from Hamden.Legislative leaders ha ve been negotiating since early March, reviewing recommendations on guns, mental health care and school security in the wake of the shooting.。

The Progress
• While a majority of the commissions were delivered, it proved impossible for all of them to be delivered before Adams's term as president expired. • On March 4, 1801, Thomas Jefferson was sworn in as President. As soon as he was able, he ordered James Madison ,Secretary of the United States, not to deliver the remaining appointments. Without the commissions, the appointees were unable to assume the offices and duties to which they had been appointed. So, the undelivered commissions were void(无 效的).
It is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is
解释法律显然是司法部门的权限范围和责任
The Brief Introduction
The case resulted from a petition to the Supreme Court by William Marbury, who had been appointed by President John Adams as Justice of the Peace in the District of Columbia but whose commission was not subsequently delivered. Marbury petitioned the Supreme Court to force the new Secretary of State James Madison to deliver the documents. 庄园主马伯里由于上届政府的疏忽，而未收到“太平绅士”的 委任状，而继任政府的国务卿麦迪逊拒绝将委任状下发，于是 马伯里直接向当时并无实权的最高法院提起诉讼，要求得到自 己的委任状。

For his part Megrahi has steadily maintained his innocence. He returned to Libya Thursday to a hero's welcome.
Gray stressed that, while the justice secretary was required to consider the application for compassionate release, he was not bound to grant it. But Secretary MacAskill strongly stood by the course he chose. "It was my decision," said Kenny MacAskill. "I stand by it and live with the consequences." MacAskill underlined that he knew what the families of the victims were going through, but upon weighing all options, he said, allowing Megrahi to return home to Libya was the best solution. "The pain and suffering, as I said, will remain forever," he said. "Some hurt can never heal. Some scars can never fade. Those who have been bereaved cannot be expected to forget, let alone forgive. But, as I said, Mr. al-Megrahi now faces a sentence imposed by a higher power. It is one no court in any jurisdiction, in any land could revoke or overrule. It is terminal, final and irrevocable. He is gong to die." Many close to the case in Britain were disappointed last week when Megrahi dropped his appeal, which would have allowed for a review and examination of the evidence. That could have shed new light on those behind the bombing and what warnings the West may have had that such an attack could be a possibility back in December 1988. MacAskill said if a full independent investigation can at some stage be mounted, he would welcome that, and he pledged Scotland would assist such an effort in any way possible. "There remain concerns to some on the wider issues of the Lockerbie atrocity," said MacAskill. "This is a global issue and international in its nature. The questions to be asked and answered are beyond the jurisdiction of Scots law and the restricted remit of the Scottish government. If a further inquiry were felt to be appropriate, then it should be initiated by those with the required power and authority. The Scottish government would be happy to fully cooperate in such an inquiry."

Gray said a release on compassionate grounds must be tempered with justice, the rights of the victims must always be preserved. "Last week, the Scottish government made a wrong decision in the wrong way with wrong consequences," said Iain Gray.

Scottish Justice Minister Defends Bomber's Release
Broadcast date: 8-24-2009 / Written by Tom Rivers
From /voanews/english/ Scotland's Justice Secretary defended his decision to release the convicted Lockerbie bomber before the Scottish parliament Monday. Parliament was recalled early to address the issue, which has strained relations between Scotland and the United States. In an emotional session of the Scottish parliament, frank exchanges were the norm. Parliament reconvened early from its summer recess to consider the implications of the release of the only man convicted of the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988. Two hundred seventy people were killed in the attack. Opposition Scottish Labor leader Iain Gray was blunt in his criticism of Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill, who made the call to allow Abdel Basset al-Megrahi to leave prison and return home to Libya on compassionate grounds because he is terminally ill.
