John Terry will be

Chelsea captain forever,

says Carlo Ancelotti

Terry would stand to earn about £200,000

a week at Manchester City

Carlo Ancelotti has denied that Chelsea are preparing to sell John Terry to Manchester City after he was officially unveiled as the club's new manager.

"John Terry is a symbol of this team," Ancelotti said. "He will be captain next season: he said he wants to stay forever and we want to keep him forever.

―A growing proportion

Of course, this wasn’t the

first time new technology

threatened an

established business. In

1877 another Rochester,

NY-based company,

Western Union, was

confronted with the

invention of the

telephone. The company,

at that time the largest in

the U.S., declined to

purchase Alexander

Graham Bell’s telephone

patents for the

―outrageous‖ sum of

$100,000.

Step forward to 2002 and the introduction of yet another potentially disruptive technology to face the 100 year-old telephony market: VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol. ―BT had not been worried about VoIP,‖ says Rob Hull, Vice President of Business Development, Technology and Innovation and a member of the Global External Innovation Team.

Apple Says Jobs Has Returned to Work

Steven P. Jobs, Apple’s co-founder and chief executive, officially returned to work on Monday after a five-month medical leave. But for some investors the issues raised by Apple’s secrecy about Mr. Jobs’s health problems and liver transplant are likely to linger.

―Steve is back to work,‖ Steve Dowling, an Apple spokesman, said on Monday. ―He is currently

at Apple a few days a week and working from home the remaining days.‖As was the case with

Mr. Jobs’s leave his ret, urn to work was accompanied by only minimal disclosures.

Mr. Dowling declined to say whether Mr. Jobs’s role had changed from what it was before his

leave, and he declined to discuss his health. He also would not say when Mr. Jobs first

returned to work at Apple. Mr. Jobs was at work on the corporate campus a week ago,

according to a person who saw him there.

The Apple chief’s official return comes just before the self-imposed deadline for his medical

leave. When Apple announced his leave in January, the company said he would be back at

work by the end of June.

Mr. Jobs underwent a liver transplant about two months ago, but word of the operation did not

surface until earlier this month. Last week, a hospital in Tennessee confirmed that he had

surgery there and said his prognosis was excellent.

News of the operation rekindled a controversy among shareholders and corporate governance

experts about Apple’s scant disclosures regarding the health of Mr. Jobs, a survivor of

pancreatic cancer. His return to work is not likely to quell the debate.

―We don’t know much,‖ said Charles Elson, director of the John L. Weinberg Center for

Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware. ―We know he is back at work and that he

had a transplant. Given how important he seems to be to the value of this business, we ought

to have the facts in front us that the board had in bringing him back.‖ During his absence, Apple

said little about Mr. Jobs other than repeating that he would be back at the end of June. Jeffrey

A. Sonnenfeld, a senior associate dean at the Yale School of Management, said Apple’s

insistence on secrecy damaged the company’s credibility.

Codex Sinaiticus: text, Bible, book International conference, 6-7 July 2009 at the British Library

Codex Sinaiticus

Codex Sinaiticus is one of the most important books in the world. Handwritten well over 1600 years ago, the manuscript contains the Christian Bible in Greek, including the oldest complete copy of the New Testament. Its heavily corrected text is of outstanding importance for the history of the Bible and the manuscript – the oldest substantial book to survive Antiquity – is of supreme importance for the history of the book. Find out more about Codex Sinaiticus.

THE HISTORY OF THE HOLY MONASTERY OF SINAI

The Holy Monastery of Sinai is located in the Biblical land of Midian, at the site of the Burning Bush, and at the foot of Mount Sinai, where Moses received the revelation of the Law. In the Roman world, the area formed part of Arabia Petra, in distinction to Arabia Felix (centered around Damascus), and Arabia Deserta (the present day Saudi Arabia). Christians came to the area, escaping the persecutions, in the third century. They were succeeded by anchorites who deliberately went out into the desert, at the end of the third, and the beginning of the fourth centuries.

The Codex Sinaiticus Project

The Codex Sinaiticus Project is an international collaboration to reunite the entire manuscript in digital form and make it accessible to a global audience for the first time. Drawing on the expertise of leading scholars, conservators and curators, the Project gives everyone the opportunity to connect directly with this famous manuscript. Find out more about the Codex Sinaiticus Project.

The monastery has existed for seventeen centuries, the very symbol of God’s revelation, and of man’s response in prayer and spiritual striving. The peace that has existed between the monks and the bedouin has made Sinai as well the emblem of peace between peoples of differing faith, language, and culture. In addition, the monastery has been the goal of pilgrims and visitors throughout its history, a holy place

On the 13th of July 2009,

our class – GR and other classes – TEL and EFA5 did a walking tour to Ribeira and S.Nicolau. The tour began at 7 o’clock and finished at eleven o’clock. We visited several interested places, such as Barredo.

The Barredo is one of the typical areas of Porto where the medieval heart of the city still beats. In its maze-like layout one finds houses where time has left its imprint and that have taken the chance of disappearing from the Porto urban lattice. The recovery work that has been taking place has enabled the in habitants and those visiting the old city to enjoy the delight of the past, through the restoring of the glow of the original colours in the houses.
