  Humanist Party UK: Europe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
It must be pointed out, in addition, that this union has not been produced through the imposition of a military power, as happened in the past, but rather, it is wanted by the peoples that are looking to join together in a common project.
Europe is ripe for a Constitution that, inspired by the profound humanist roots of our culture, can sustain the construction of a Europe based on solidarity, pluralism, tolerance and non-violence: a Europe that makes a contribution to the Universal Human Nation.
The interesting point of the preamble that recognises the “humanist heritage” of Europe, is not sufficient if this concept is not extended and impregnating every article of the Treaty and above all if it is not transformed into real democracy.

 Europe
In latitude Europe extends from 36°00’N to 63°00’N. The main horizontal axis of Europe was meridian 45°12’N, considered the middle point between the Equator and the Pole.
The mouth of the Danube, identified with the point 45°12’N on the Western Axis of Egypt (29°50’E), was a paramount geodetic point.
Since the southern limit of Europe is to be identified with parallel 36°00’ N, it follows that Europe was understood to extend as far north of Danube as it does south of it.

 ..:: Child Poverty in Europe ::..   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
An analysis of the unemployment situation in the European Union (EU) shows a sharp increase from 3% in the early 1970s to approximately 11% by mid-1990, with an overall EU average of 8.6% by April 2001.
The number of people living in extreme poverty in these areas grew from 1.1 million in 1987 to an estimated 17.6 million in 1998.
It also points to a rising number of children ending up in institutions or being put up for adoption by families who are pushed into poverty when the value of their wages falls.

Europe is busy with current issues and therefore cannot devote adequate attention to the long-term future.
Europe is on the borderline of the Islamic world yet does not comprehend very well that helping Muslim countries to develop and move away from militancy and fundamentalism is in the long run critical for European welfare and security.

 Shining Light In Dark Corners   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
It is a crisis also facing other countries across Europe as governments of the left and the right have similarly attempted to alter their costly systems of generous health, unemployment and welfare benefits; most, like that of former German chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, have failed in the face of widespread resistance to change.
Pointing out that this law was not even used in the May 1968 student-worker rebellions, their joint statement said: "Stopping the violence and re-establishing order in the suburbs is a necessity.
Europe is a relatively small area of land that has seen many conflicts over the centuries over trade and resources mixed with volatile belief in the superiority of one's national identities and ethnicity.

 Israel and Europe: The Positive and the Negative - Hildegard Müller
Our values and shared historical experience of tyranny and despotism in Europe during the last century place on us a particular responsibility toward human life and to apply justice to protect inalienable human rights, democracy, and the rule of law.
If Europe made a clear commitment to Israel's security through a privileged partnership, this would be one step closer to greater trust and peace in the region.
It should be the responsibility of the UN Security Council and Europe to place this issue again on the agenda of the United Nations.

 Geography of Europe
Every evaluation has a set value of points, and the final grade is determined from the total number of points accumulated.
Half of the points will come from best two out of three midterm examinations (250 points each): the cumulative final exam is also worth 250 points.
The final grade is based on the total points and ranking of your points, not the percentage of points.

 Amazon.com: The Rough Guide to Europe, 2003 Edition: Books: Rough Guides   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The collapse of the division between eastern and western Europe at the end of the 1980s, and the ever closer ties among the fifteen countries of the European Union, have contributed to a feeling that Europe is increasingly becoming a single entity.
Conventionally, the geographical boundaries of Europe are the Ural Mountains in the east, the Atlantic Coast in the north and west, and the Mediterranean in the south.
In northwestern Europe – Benelux, Denmark, southwestern Norway, most of France and parts of Germany, as well as the British Isles – the climate is basically a cool temperate one, with the chance of rain all year round and no great extremes of either cold or hot weather.

 EJP | News | Eastern Europe | "The danger is the 'relativisation' of the Shoah"
This is not the case in Western Europe, where the authorities publicly acknowledged its collaboration with the Nazis.
Last but not least, this task is the only issue of the 6 points I stressed that is time limited and time is running out and that’s why we are focused on it.
Another very interesting point about Austria is that in the last 30 years, no one was convicted, even though, Simon Wiesenthal, the greatest Nazi hunter, resided in Vienna.

 Extreme points of Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of the extreme points of Europe, the points that are farther north, south, east or west than any other location on the continent.
The northernmost point of Europe is often incorrectly given as North Cape - actually the second northernmost point of the inshore islands of Europe.
Northernmost point — Knivskjellodden, Norway (71° 11′ 08″ N) Southernmost point Gavdos, Greece (34° 48′ 02″ N) Westernmost point — Tearaght Island, Ireland (10° 40′ W) Easternmost point — In Russia, an unnamed 535 meter peak at 68° 18′ 50″ E on the far northern Ural Mountains watershed divide.

 The Function of Armor in Medieval and Renaissance Europe | Special Topics Page | Timeline of Art History | The ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
In western Europe, the development of plate armor for the body began in the thirteenth century and progressed throughout the fourteenth century.
Not only was a weapon's point or cutting edge deflected by its "glancing surface," on impact it would also absorb some of the blow's energy.
Individual pieces of armor could be tied to the arming doublet where needed by arming points, ribbons, or strings attached to the doublet.

 President Bush Should Advance a New U.S. Vision for Europe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Such statements would only strengthen the hand of America’s opponents in Europe and weaken the posi­tion of those who are fighting to maintain the sover­eignty of the nation-state, clearly threatened by the constitution’s blueprint for a federal Europe.
Europe is the only part of the world where polit­ical, diplomatic, military, and economic power can be generated in sufficient strength to support American policies effectively.
Europe is a union of nation-states, deeply divided by history, language, and culture, and it maintains a healthy division of outlook regarding major for­eign policy issues.

 Europe and America
It is of decisive significance for the proletariat of Europe, for the oppressed peoples of the Orient, for the entire world, and, first and foremost, for the destiny of the Soviet Union.
The U.S. is compelled to base its power on an unstable Europe, that is, on tomorrow’s revolutions of Europe and on the national-revolutionary movement of Asia and Africa.
Europe’s transition to socialism must be conceived precisely with the following as a prospect: against capitalist America and against its powerful opposition.

 Rod Dreher on Pim Fortuyn on National Review Online
Placing Fortuyn on the "far right" or "extreme right" was a ridiculous smear, entirely typical of the Left (one is reminded of the abuse Rudolph Giuliani, another common-sense reformist, routinely endured from the Left in New York City during all but the last few months of his mayoralty).
Its twin policies of generous immigration and tolerance of extreme multiculturalism are dividing the country.
Of course, what accounted for Fortuyn's "extreme right" reputation was not his tax or agricultural policies, but his views on immigration and acculturation, which were easily caricatured by malicious opponents.

 Viridian Note 00376: Europe Burns
As much of Europe burns like a furnace and rivers run dry across the continent, Britain is bracing itself for its own record temperature.
Across Europe, an unending episode of unprecedented heat has this summer reduced major rivers to a trickle in Italy, turned southern France into an inferno of forest fires and sent people in Germany to their deaths from heatstroke.
The newspaper reported the deaths of four Berliners due to the extreme heat, including two pensioners who died driving.

 Backpacking travel advice info & guide: Scotland
Europe may not seem that huge when compared directly to the USA or Australia, but population and attraction wise Europe is gigantic even if distances can be covered quickly.
Spain is popular and a worthwhile destination since costs are lower particularly for accommodation, which in many parts of the EU is very expensive, and at the cheap end rather basic and over subscribed (particularly during summer months - book ahead).
It's true that for the extreme northeast of the country it's still recommended to travel with a local - but these are the mountainous areas well away from any main road.

 Knowledge Digest: Insurance in Eastern Europe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Coupled with extreme nationalism, this lack of democratic tradition has produced ethnic wars like that seen in the former Yugoslavia.
In Southeast Europe, Croatia is a notable exception in the development of the insurance sector.
The country boasts the highest income per capita in the region (USD 4600) and is the most important market in Southeast Europe with firm life sector and total premium volume of USD 600 million.

 Asia Times Online :: Asian News, Business and Economy.
As a Dutch diplomat put it, "We used to like Europe when we were only six - not 25." France voted largely against the Anglo-Saxon model of unbridled neo-liberalism; but not the Dutch, who have greatly profited from globalization (exports account for 54% of gross national product).
A more "social" Europe seems to be doomed: a French diplomat says, "This is when we will see to which extent we shot ourselves in the foot.
Or maybe the truth is simpler, and infinitely more brutal: the dream of a politically united Europe - a salutary counterpower to the US superpower - has been lost because there are no more visionaries to sell it to their own citizens.

 IGN: Extreme Mountain Biking Review
Extreme Mountain Biking was developed by Creative Carnage, the masters behind Extreme Paintbrawl, a game that they actually admitted shipped without any AI routines whatsoever.
I mean I'm used to the Extreme line featuring characters comprised of upwards of 6 polygons floating on a blocky, grainy, flat background.
The most extreme part of Extreme Mountain Biking is the voice overs, and I do have to compliment the developers for at least using a different voice actor (or a number of different folks from around the office, which is probably a bit closer to the truth) for each individual racer.

 Schoonover | Europe and the United States: An Evolving Alliance
It is plain wrong to see anti-Americanism as a phenomenon of recent years, the reaction to an assertive, nationalist president, whom we in Europe do not understand and with whom we assuredly fail to empathize.
One extreme reaction is to blame the United States for creating global terrorism because of our Middle East policy seen as unwavering support of Israel to the detriment of the Palestinian people.
There are some in Europe who seek to define Europe in opposition to the United States, contending that we have irreconcilable differences.

The economic consequences of such an increase both in China and Europe are still difficult to understand, but a boom of tourism is already starting to happen.
Extremely interesting session this morning where I had both a speaker and a rapporteur role for the Plenary session on Friday "Building europe for Business".
The possible mass migration of East Europeans to the West when 10 new countries join the EU on 1 May has many worried in present EU countries that their jobs and way of life are under threat.

 EASTERN-CENTRAL EUROPE: The Multicultural Arena
Relics from one of the longest dictatorships in Eastern Europe rub shoulders with citrus orchards, olive groves and vineyards.
Perhaps its history of "nearness" to Western Europe and its previous experience (however short) with democracy, plus its economic resources, special leadership, and its central geographic location may assist ponderers in their conclusions.
Long before the post-World War II division of Europe and long before 'silent revolutions' in Eastern Europe ended that division, there was another time when Germans took to the streets to demand freedom and unity and for a few months seemed to achieve their goal.

 Gamers Europe Review: Toxic Grind   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Some time ago now extreme sports games started flooding onto the console market, allowing players to try out all the things that they can’t manage to do in real lives.
The basics of this is that at some time in the future extreme sports became illegal, and the only place where you could ride a bike along a railing whilst one footed is on a new game show, “Toxic Grind”.
Combining tricks gives more and more points and you’re able to interact with the environment quite well, grinding along rails, ride walls etc. The missions themselves are fairly straightforward, generally you have to perform certain tricks at certain parts of the level, collect a certain number of points and collect floating disks.

 Ryder Cup 2004 / Team USA / News / Team Europe Gets Extreme Makeover
The "Big 6" players who were the catalyst for Team Europe’s Ryder Cup resurgence the past two decades have passed the torch to a new generation.
That 13-match winning streak was snapped by Team Europe in 1985, touching off an era that has seen Europe claim the Ryder Cup in six of the last nine Matches.
Team Europe?s Big Six has lost two-thirds of its membership, and only Montgomerie will be playing at the 35th Ryder Cup Matches this week here at Oakland Hills Country Club.

In 1775 the Polish Astronomer Royal Szymon Antoni Sobiekrajski published a report in which he stated that the geographic centre of Europe was located at the town of Suchowola (now in the county (Polish: powiat) of Sokółka).
Krahule is located in central Slovakia (in the 18th century belonging to the Kingdom of Hungary), near the mining town of Kremnica, now a famous centre for winter sports.

 JustOneMinute: Biden Our Time With Europe
Pushed to the extreme, this might be called the European School for Reforming America.
The most aggravating thing about the Europeans is that they expect the US to put its interests behind Europe's, and to seek their guidance and approval so their sense of importance and pride is maintained.
If Europe is going to be dissapointed, just think about half of the "hate Bush" folks who expect everything Bush did (or would do) will be rolled back.

 CFO Europe
That’s why many observers believe that dividends are a valuable indicator of a firm’s health for investors, with a fall in payout levels pointing to hard times ahead, and consequently a fall in share price.
Andrew Tivey, head of strategic finance at Ernst and Young, sees some merit to such an idea, although he points out that there would be balance sheet issues, such as leverage, to consider.
Given the extreme volatility of the world’s equity markets this year, that’s probably something of a comfort for investors.
