Supreme Court
[...]The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the law violates the Second Amendment, which states: “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” The decision broke with the great majority of federal courts that have examined the issue, including the Supreme Court in 1939. Those courts have held that the constitutional right to bear arms is tied to service in a militia, and is not an individual right.[...]
Translation/Übersetzung
Das U.S.amerikanische Bundesberufungsgericht des Bezirks Columbia beschloss, dass das Gesetz gegen den zweiten Zusatzartikel der (U.S.) Verfassung verstößt, in welchem es heißt: „ Das Recht auf eine wohl geregelte Bürgerwehr, derer es zur Sicherheit eines freien Staates bedarf, und/d.h. das Recht des Volkes, Waffen zu besitzen und zu führen, darf nicht eingeschränkt werden.“ Dieser Entschluss steht im völligen Widerspruch zu (den Entscheidungen)der großen Mehrzahl der U.S.amerikanischen Gerichtshöfe, die sich mit dieser Problematik auseinandergesetzt haben, wie unter anderem dem Obersten Gerichtshof von 1939. Diese Gerichte waren der Auffassung, dass das verfassungsmäßige Recht, welches erlaubt Waffen zu führen, (fest) an den Dienst in einer Bürgerwehr geknüpft ist, und dies kein Recht des Einzelnen sei.
Nobel Prize
The already high bar set for President Obama got even higher Friday, when the Nobel Prize Committee shocked the world, and the president himself, by announcing he was to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
Just nine months into his presidency, Obama has set an ambitious diplomatic agenda, calling for peace between Israel and the Palestinians and a decrease in the world's nuclear weapons, but has yet to achieve any real results.
Already faced with the challenge of working to ensure his actions keep pace with his rhetoric, the president now has an even higher standard by which his accomplishments will be gauged.
As his former opponent, Sen. John McCain, R- Ariz., put it: "He now has even more to live up to."
The committee said it awarded the prize to Obama for his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples," but made the clear the prize was intended to encourage Obama to greatness rather than celebrate any achievement.
"I hope it will help him," Nobel committee chairman Thorbjoern Jagland said of the award. "Obama is the right man at the right time, and that's why we want to enhance his efforts."
Translation/Übersetzung
Die ohnehin schon sehr hohen Erwartungen an Präsident Obama wurden am Freitag noch höher, als das Komitee für die Vergabe des Nobelpreises die Welt und den Präsidenten selbst schockierte, als es bekannt gab, dass er den Friedensnobelpreis erhalten solle. Nach nur neun Monaten seiner Präsidentschaft hat Obama ehrgeizige diplomatischer Themen auf die Tagesordnung gesetzt, z.B. mit der Forderung nach Friedensgesprächen zwischen Israel und den Palästinensern und nach einem Abbau der weltweiten Atomwaffenarsenale, tatsächliche Ergebnisse/Erfolge muss er aber erst noch erzielen.
Der Präsident, der ohnehin schon vor der Herausforderung steht, daran zu arbeiten, dass seine Taten mit den Worten Schritt halten, muss seine Erfolge jetzt an einem noch höheren Standard messen lassen.
Sein ehemaliger Gegner im Rennen um die Präsidentschaft, Senator John McCain, drückte es folgendermaßen aus: "Er muss jetzt noch höhere Erwartung erfüllen."
Das Komitee sagte, es Verleiheropa mal den Preis für seine "außerordentlichen Bemühungen, die internationale Diplomatie und Zusammenarbeit zwischen den Völkern zu stärken", machte aber klar, dass der Preis eher dazu beitragen solle, Obama zu großen Taten anzuspornen, als einen bestimmten Erfolg zu würdigen/feiern.
"Ich hoffe das hilft (ihm)", sagte der Vorsitzende des Nobelpreiskomitees, Thorbjoern Jagland, über den Preis. "Obama ist der richtige Mann zur richtigen Zeit, und deswegen wollen wir seine Bemühungen unterstützen."

Answer of Question 1 from Text "Oi! Just you mind your language!"
There are some different influences and changes to English spoken in Britain mentioned in the text.
First of all the language is influenced by TV and cinema. When the first showmaster spoke Estuary English in a show people were horrified because they thought its a sign of the end of civilisation. But today it`s quite normal to speak Estuary English even on TV.
A second influence are popular slang words which are even mentioned in dictionaries. Anyone can create a new word like "downsizing" or "delayering".(Neologisms)
Moreover the number of people who speak Estuary English which has its origin in London is increasing and spreading up all over Britain.
The fourth influence on English language are middleclass pop-stars,who speak classless Estuary English to hide their upper-class origin.
The last influence mentioned in the text is the transatlantic influence. Many american slang words are integrated into English. Upperclass white kids are adopting the pronunciation of maximum-pigmented-afro-americans to increase their coolness in the streets.
All in all there are many influences to English language and the language has changed seriously in past few years and the change will go on.

Essay
The picture shows a beautiful naked woman in the front and a ugly aids-infected man (Hitler) at the back of her having sex with her. Down in the picture there is a text, the slogan of the advert, and a little sign, the Anti-Aids sign. The text says: "AIDS IS A MASS MURDERER". The aim of this advert is to convince people that they should be careful with which person they have sex with and that they should protect themselfs for example by condoms. The target group are women because its a woman in the picture who sleeps with the wrong person and she can get Aids by not using a condom but also man because they get also animated to use condoms too, so that they don't seem as bad as Hitler and be able to contract some woman with Aids. The customers' attention is attracted by man looking at the advert because of the pretty woman but then the shock-effect is used because she sleeps with a mass murderer (Adolf Hitler). The message of text and image is that Aids is dangerous and kills many people and that you should protect yourself and your sex partner by using condoms to avoid a sexually transmissible disease. People who look at this advert are influenced/conviced in many ways. One thing is that the advert shocks because of Hitler having sex with the woman. Another point is that the message is supported by a very eyecatching picture because everyone immediately notices Hitler. Also the message is very sarcastic and there is a metapher for aids=hitler means aids murders people.
Romeo & Juliet
Question about Act1
Act 1: How does Benvolio react to Romeo's problem with being in love (p. 17 and 23)? (Notes)
He - tells him to forget her: "Be ruled by me, forget to think of her."[p17 216] -should look at other women: "Examine other beauties."[p17 218] - should compare her with other women. "At this same ancient feast of Capulet's
,Sups the fair Rosaline whom thou so loves, With all the admired beauties of Verona" [p23 82-84] - should not only see her alone but with other people around: "none else beeing by"[p23 94]
Characterize Romeo as lover from what you have read about him!
Romeo talks a lot about love, mostly all the time. He says for example that love makes him sad, that love confuses him and that love makes him sick. Also he says that love is too rough, too rude, too boisterous, and that it pricks like thorn. Moreover he says that touching women makes blessed his rude hand, and that he never saw true beauty till this night when he saw Juliet. Since then he is totally obsessed with her, and he doesn't want to meet other "beautiful" women because he only sees her and no other people around him. Also all he wants from this on is getting a kiss from Juliet, so he seems really fallen in love and a kind of paranoid. One other thing is that he prays Juliets body many times especially her cheek that he would like to touch. Also he wants to marry Juliet which is another proof of his true love.
Act 2 Scene 3 in Modern English
| Old | New |
|---|---|
ROM: Good morrow, father. FRIAR: Benedicite! ROM: That last is true—the sweeter rest was mine. FRIAR: God pardon sin! Wast thou with Rosaline?(45) ROM: With Rosaline, my ghostly father? No. FRIAR: That's my good son! But where hast thou been then? ROM: I'll tell thee ere thou ask it me again. FRIAR: Be plain, good son, and homely in thy drift ROM: Then plainly know my heart's dear love is set |
ROM: Good morning, father! FRIAR: Bless you! ROM: That last part is true; my rest was the sweeter. FRIAR: God pardon sin! Were you with Rosaline? ROM: With Rosaline, my ghostly father? No! FRIAR: That's my good son, but where have you been then? ROM: I'll tell you before you ask me again. FRIAR: Be plain, good son, and homely in your meaning; ROM: Then plainly know my heart's dear love is set |
Characterization
2. He looks a little big bigger than other people, bored and like if he wouldn't care about things which happen around him. In the picture he looks down on the ground, maybe because hes bored or because he has no selfconfidence. He looks like he is an outsider especially in social live, he looks like he has no friends or just a little group of friends which are like himself, being nerds. He seems really uncommunicative, so he doesn't have many contact with other people. If he would meet character number 6, the cool guy, his opposit he would lose some more selfconfidence, maybe be afraid or intimidated, because he would regnorize that he's just a poor boy having no friends and not being able to speak with woman. I think he has not really plans for his future maybe he is satiesfied with what he owns and has reached in his life. Maybe he tries to reach more but is too lazy to get better. His positive quality is maybe that he loves his mum, because he looks like a mama's boy. LOL. His negative qualitys are all I told before.
Homework until 27.09.10
4 Questions on an excerpt from "Angela's Ashes"
Question 1:
The story plays in the west of Ireland in a town called Limerick.
The atmosphere in this excerpt seems dark, because there are told things which describe the life in Ireland badly. One negative point are the working conditions, because her dad gets no job. Another point is that in earlier times, so tells her dad, everything has been better (example: line 14- 24) but now everything in Ireland is bad.
But there's a positive thing in this excerpt:
There is hope for her because she can escape from this bad life by going to America.
Her dad tells about the good way of living and the chance of getting a job in America, and that everything is so easy in USA. He tells her to get to America and have a better life than he has. He says that she still has the opportunity to go to US be he says he is to old to go there. (line 39: you can't teach an old dog a new bark).
Another point is that her dad when hes drunk prays for Ireland and says that they should die of Ireland.
Question 2:
The father says that Ireland is bad because he gets no job. That means he hates his live and Ireland. But when hes drunk prays for Ireland and says that they should die of Ireland. So deep in his heart he love Ireland. So there is a conflict in him, wheather he likes or hates his homecountry. Also the father likes to dream about America and what is so good about it. So he really would like to be there, but he can't, because he says: "you can't teach an old dog a new bark". This means he is not self confident enough to try it by himself. He only says his doughter could do it.
Also the father is very interested in the things going on in the world because he likes to read the newspaper and tell his kids about it.
Question 3:
Drinking plays for the narrator a important role because by describing the father in normal situation and drunk he can show the reader what the father really feels about Ireland and if he likes it or not. Also the reader has to think about what of the things the father says are right. The things he says when hes drunk or when hes sober.
The storytelling of the father gives the reader the possiblity to immerse oneself in the role of the father and let you see things like he does. Also the storytelling of America lets the reader see why America is so good and how it looks over there.
Religion is also used in the text to describe the situation how the father and the kids feel and how the situation in Ireland is.
Every evening the kids and the father pray for a better future, which shows that religion is very important and maybe could be a way to have a better live.
Question 4:
The narrative perspective in this passage is a first-person narrator. So you can only see the story from one point and cant read about e.g other peoples thoughts and feelings.
The narrator is the doughter of the man. (Angela?)
The language is written like someone would speak it or write it in a personal diary. The effect on the reader is that the reader can see things from the girls perspective and feel with her, identify with her maybe.

Estuary English is a name given to the dialect(s) of English widely spoken in South East England, especially along the River Thames and its estuary. The name comes from the area around the Thames Estuary, particularly London, Kent and Essex.
The variety first came to public prominence in an article by David Rosewarne in the Times Educational Supplement in October 1984. Rosewarne argued that it may eventually replace RP (Received Pronunciation). Studies have indicated that Estuary English is not a single coherent form of English; rather, the reality behind the construct consists of some (but not all) phonetic features of working-class London speech spreading at various rates socially into middle-class speech and geographically into other accents of south-eastern England.

Doppelhalter-Bastelanleitung
Hier bekommt ihr einige nützliche Tipps zum Erstellen von Doppelhaltern.
1. Suche nach dem Motiv Erst einmal solltet ihr Euch über das Motiv des Halters im Klaren sein. Hier sind Eurer Kreativität eigentlich keine Grenzen gesetzt, wichtig ist nur, dass das Motiv möglichst großen Bezug zum FCB hat. Comicfiguren z.B. sind eher langweilig und haben keinen Bezug zum Verein oder zur Kurve. Jede Menge Motive findet ihr am besten im Internet (Google-Bildersuche oder www.es97.net).
2. Größe des Doppelhalters Die Größe des Doppelhalters könnt ihr eigentlich vom Motiv abhängig machen. Ihr müsst lediglich darauf achten, dass ihr den Doppelhalter gut halten könnt (keine zu große Spannweite). Zu klein sollte der Doppelhalter auch nicht sein. Ca. 120cm x 120cm sollte das Mindestmaß sein.
3. Der Stoff Beim Stoff habt ihr ziemlich freie Wahl. Ihr müsst lediglich darauf achten, dass der Stoff saugfähig ist, damit die Farbe auf dem Stoff gut rüberkommt. Billigen Stoff gibt es z.B. bei Ikea oder bei Stoffrestpostenläden. Die Farbe des Stoffes kann grün oder weiß sein, wobei es immer besser ist, auf weißem Stoff zu malen. Der Stoff sollte nicht zu klein sein, da ihr die Seiten noch umnähen oder tackern müsst, damit die Stangen halten. Ebenfalls müsst ihr die umgenähten Seiten (so breit, dass der Stock reinpasst) oben zunähen oder zutackern, damit der Stock nicht wieder rausfluscht. Wenn ihr den Stoff tackert, solltet ihr die getackerten Stellen am Besten mit starkem Klebeband (z.B. Gaffer-Tape) überkleben, damit die Stellen halten.
4. Die Farben Zum Ausmalen der Doppelhalter benötigt ihr Farbe. Am Besten eignet sich Abtönfarbe, die es in jedem Baumarkt oder auch in manchen Restpostenläden (z.B. Zimmermann) gibt.
5.Die Stangen Kabelrohr aus dem Baumarkt eignet sich am Besten. Nicht teuer, macht beim Einlaß ins Stadion kaum Probleme und liegt gut in der Hand. Also ab in den Baumarkt!
6. Übertragen des Motivs auf den Stoff Hierfür solltet ihr euch einen Tageslichtprojektor suchen. Ihr kopiert das Motiv auf Folie (gibt’s in jedem Copy-Shop), hängt euren Stoff an die Wand, schnappt euch einen Edding und übertragt das Motiv auf den Stoff. Solltet ihr an keinen Tageslichtprojektor rankommen, so meldet euch bei uns oder schaut einfach mal auf einem Eastside-Treffen vorbei.
7. Ausmalen: Nach dem Vorzeichnen müsst ihr die Flächen nur noch ausmalen. Hierzu solltet ihr Plastik unterlegen, da Zeitung oder anderes Papier schnell kleben bleibt. Benutzt möglichst unterschiedlich dicke Pinsel, damit ihr auch die Feinheiten sauber malen könnt.
