Berlin, 9 November 1938: the night it all came home

Article Abstract:

Experiences of returning to Berlin, Germany, after being forced to leave the city in Sep 1939 are described. Many memories returned to those who accepted the invitation to return to the city from mayor Eberhard Diepgen, and the visit was particularly significant in reviving memories of those who had not been lucky enough to escape. It was good to see that the city's Jewish community is now beginning to undergo revival. It is also important that the Jewish community keeps alive the memories of the terrors which it experienced under the Nazi regime.

Diploma route to a good job

Article Abstract:

The UK government believes that Higher National Diplomas (HNDs) and Higher National Certificates (HNCs) will play a significant role in improving access to education for young people who come from a background where there is limited experience of higher education. The HND is mostly being taught by the new universities, but higher education colleges are also starting to make this qualification available. HNDs and HNCs are available in a very wide range of subjects, and some courses offer overseas placements.

Trolley good!

Article Abstract:

Science and engineering students at UK universities are involved in a wide range of innovative projects. At the University of Hull, England, three students developed a cost-effective method for reducing pollution from diesel engines, while students at the Bolton Institute of Higher Education developed a cat collar that emits an ultrasonic sound, scaring away songbirds and thus protecting them from attack by cats. Significant research has also been undertaken at the University of London's federal colleges.
