Followers of Serbia's biggest soccer clubs, however, would scoff at all three. While a little animosity is fine and dandy in any sport, the supporters of Belgrade's Red Star and Partizan outfits have been taking it to the next level for over half a century. It's a simple recipe, really. Take 50,000 people from disparate political backgrounds in one of the most troubled and war-torn regions on the planet -- add religion and 700 years of bloodshed and ethnic dispute -- and voila! You have the Balkans at a boil. This ain't no Banjo Bowl. It is glorified urban warfare with a soccer match as a backdrop.
Red Star's principal gang of ultras, Delije, is currently running a banner on its website which reads, "Kosovo is Serbia." Meanwhile, Partizan's most infamous faction, Grobari, is using its s...

Recent studies of publication patterns in accounting history portray a myopic and introspective discipline. Analyses reveal the production and dissemination of accounting history knowledge which focus predominantly on Anglo-American settings and the age of modernity. Limited opportunities exist for contributions from scholars working in languages other than English. Many of the practitioners of accounting history are also shown to be substantially disconnected from the wider community of historians. It is argued in the current paper that interdisciplinary history has the potential to enhance theoretical and methodological creativity and greater inclusivity in the accounting history academy. A practical requirement for this venture is the identification of points of connectedness between...

The British and the French were to blame too, because earlier in 1939 they guaranteed Poland's independence if it stood up to Hitler's demands. That gave the Poles "delusions of grandeur," unfortunately, and misled them into rebuffing Germany's "very modest" requests.
[Sergei Kovalev] is right about one thing: Hitler's demands were reasonable enough. By 1939, almost everybody agreed that the Versailles treaty had been wrong to blame the First World War on Germany, and that the five million Germans whose lands had been handed out to neighbouring countries under that treaty had been treated unfairly. But most historians also think that Hitler's demands were just an opening bid.
The Polish ambassador in Moscow protested and Kovalev's article has now been removed from the ministry of defenc...

If MPI CEO Marilyn McLaren is going to take a jab at private insurers when defending her monopoly, she should give your readers the full picture. If she took a closer look at the numbers she'd see that Alberta drivers are getting far more value for their insurance dollar. While Alberta drivers pay slightly more (about 9.3 per cent) for their premiums, they also enjoy much stronger benefits. On average, Alberta's private insurers pay out twice as much in claims as MPI. Albertans might pay a little more for their insurance, but they get a lot more in return. That's what happens when consumers have competition and choice.

Isadore Feinstein Stone's trademark skepticism served him well in an American journalistic career that spanned more than half a century. While many of his colleagues chased official sources and provided surface coverage of events, he laid bare the underlying realities of U.S. society and fearlessly held politicians of all stripes to account.
Even though his radical politics enraged his enemies, it was his investigative journalism that critics found hard to assail. His Hidden History of the Korean War questioned American tactics and policies in triggering the conflict, while he was also one of the first American journalists to wonder openly whether the Gulf of Tonkin incident was a manufactured pretext for wider U.S. intervention in Vietnam. The sweep of history has proven many of Stone'...
