De Standaard (The Standard) is a Flemish daily newspaper published in Belgium by Corelio (formerly VUM). Circulation was about 97,226 in 2005. It was traditionally a Christian-Democratic paper, associated with the Christian-Democratic and Flemish Party, and in opposition to the Socialist Flemish daily De Morgen. However, today it is politically neutral.

History
In 1911, Frans Van Cauwelaert founded Ons Volk Ontwaakt, the weekly journal of the Flemish Catholic student organization.
In 1914, Van Cauwelaert, Alfons Van de Perre, and Arnold Hendrix formed a publishing company, De Standaard N.V. (”The Standard, Incorporated”: the Standard Group). Their goal was to publish a conservative, Catholic, Flemish daily newspaper in Brussels, to be called De Standaard. The motto of De Standaard was Alles voor Vlaanderen - Vlaanderen voor Kristus (”Everything for Flanders - Flanders for Christ”), abbreviated AVV-VVK. AVV-VVK appeared in De Standaard’s front-page banner until 1999. The first edition was to appear on 22 November 1914, but publication was cancelled due to the outbreak of World War I. De Standaard did not appear until 4 December 1918, after the war ended. Gustave Sap, who joined the board of directors in 1919, provided the necessary capital for its initial expansion.
In 1940, during the Second World War, Belgium was occupied by Nazi Germany. De Standaard ceased publication. However, a new paper, Het Algemeen Nieuws (”The General News”) was published with De Standaard’s staff and presses, printing only what the Nazi occupation government permitted. After the liberation of Belgium in 1944, the management of Standard Group was accused of collaboration with the Nazi occupiers, and the company was banned for two years. A new company was therefore created: De Gids N.V., (”The Guide, Inc.”) which began publishing De Nieuwe Standaard (”The New Standard”) in November 1944. Older titles of the Standaard group were also continued by De Gids.
In 1947, the ban on Standard Group was removed, and with court permission the company reclaimed all its titles. De Nieuwe Standaard was immediately renamed De Nieuwe Gids, and then, as of 1 May, De Standaard again.
In the 1960s and 1970s, De Standaard was famous for its high-quality and independent foreign affairs coverage. For example, despite its Catholic and conservative ties, De Standaard was critical of American policy in southeast Asia.
However, the financial condition of Standard Group deteriorated, becoming critical in 1976. Standard Group declared bankruptcy on 22 June. De Standaard was rescued by André Leysen, a Belgian businessman, who formed Vlaamse Uitgeversmaatschappij N.V. (VUM - “Flemish Publishers Partnership”). VUM took over Standard Group’s titles, and became the publisher of De Standaard. VUM changed its name to Corelio in 2006.
In 2004, De Standaard changed formats, from traditional broadsheet to tabloid size.

Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development

The Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development, also called Framework Programmes or abbreviated FP, are funding programmes created by the European Union in order to support and encourage research in the European Research Area (ERA). The specific objectives and actions vary between funding periods.

Background
Conducting European research policies and implementing European research programmes is an obligation under the Amsterdam Treaty, which includes a chapter on research and technological development. Since even entire Member States find it increasingly difficult to play a leading role in many important areas of scientific and technological advance, international cooperation is needed.
EU research programs generate high return on investment. It is estimated that current Community contribution of € 7 billion/year might generate a GDP increase of € 200 billion/year in the 2030s. There are also the intangible result of providing incentive to face the intrinsic complexity of international collaborations. Diversity introduces additional costs, but it facilitates addressing competitors in an even more diverse world. Changes triggered by research policy directly affect people and enterprises, which experience broader horizons and experience the advantages of international collaboration. This complements the institutional activities of the EU, building a community united in diversity capable of facing the challenges of a globalized world.
Criticism
This section does not cite any references or sources.
Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (April 2009)
A number of serious shortcomings of Framework Programmes impair the whole idea are staff maladministration, arbitrary decisions on eligibility, a lengthy process of agreeing the areas that will be funded and on the extent of the funding. EU grants in aid of research and development often involve big companies mixed with big universities organised in unwieldy consortia, and so leaving aside progressive research companies. The selection process and the process of negotiating contracts can take in excess of a year or more which means that the drive to innovate is often stifled by the bureaucracy. Not infrequently the EU will be making decisions about funding while technologies will have moved into the market place. This is the case with many web technologies which the EU has funded but which have been overtaken by events (search engines and social software are good examples of where the EU has been by-passed by the market).
The successive programmes
The Sixth Framework Programme took place from 3 June 2002 until 2006. The funding of the Seventh Framework Programme started in 2007. The framework programmes up until FP6 covered five-year periods, but from FP7 on, programmes will run for seven years.

“The Ram Has Touched the Wall” is the fifth episode of the first season of the television series Rome.
Pompey must stall for time, and his supporters urge for peace with Caesar. Caesar and Antony must balance that which is expedient with how their actions will appear to the people. Atia’s jealousy of Servilia will lead to actions that spell humiliation for Caesar, and despair for Servilia. A sudden reversal of fortune forced Vorenus to choose whether it is to the Legions or the underworld of Rome that he will sell his integrity. Servilia’s rage turns her into dark paths of revenge. Niobe faces the possibility of having to lose her son, and has her secret fall into the hands of those who do not know what to do with it. Pullo is retained to educate Octavian, but it is questionable as to who will teach and who will learn.

Plot summary
Pompey receives Julius Caesar’s offer of a truce. To general surprise, he accepts. This presents Caesar with a dilemma, since he confidently expected Pompey to refuse, but now needs a suitable pretext to reject a truce. Caesar uses Pompey’s refusal to meet with him face-to-face, calling it a mortal insult.
Atia announces that she has retained Titus Pullo to tutor her son Octavian in the “masculin arts” — how to fight, copulate, skin animals and so forth. Octavian proves to be an indifferent swordsman, but takes a liking to Pullo, and the soldier takes the boy into his confidence, confessing that he has suspicions about Niobe and her brother-in-law, Evander. The two make a pact to find out the truth, without telling Lucius Vorenus.
Meanwhile, Vorenus’s financial difficulties are mounting. He inspects his share of the slaves taken in Gaul, and finds that nearly all of them have died of disease, on top of which he still has to pay the bill for their transport and feeding. He asks Erastes Fulmen for a loan, but the crafty gangster demurs, and instead maneuvers Lucius into accepting a lucrative position as his enforcer.
Having captured the city, Caesar seems to be in no hurry to pursue Pompey to the coast, instead spending his evenings dallying with Servilia. Jealous of her influence over Caesar, Atia hires Timon to paint rude graffiti depicting Caesar and Servilia’s relationship all over the city. Mortified, Caesar’s wife Calpurnia threatens to divorce him unless he breaks off relations with Servilia. Since he still needs her family’s political and financial support, Caesar does so, and Servilia is livid. Caesar prepares to march on Pompey without further ado, and appoints Mark Antony prefect of the city in his absence, despite the latter’s protests (”I’m a soldier, not a peacekeeper”).
Late at night, Pullo kidnaps Evander, with Octavian tagging along, and they interrogate him in an underground walkway beside one of the sewers. Octavian, to Pullo’s surprise, directs Pullo to torture Evander when he refuses to talk with surprising blood lust and cruelty. After losing both thumbs and being beaten severely, Evander admits that he and Niobe had become lovers after Vorenus was mistakenly pronounced dead in Gaul, and that Niobe’s “grandson” is in fact her son by him. Outraged, Pullo kills Evander and dumps his body into the sewer. Octavian warns him that Vorenus can never learn what has happened.
Vorenus reports for duty as Erastes’s “bodyguard,” but quits as soon as he sees what is expected of him: torturing, and then killing, a business client of Fulmen’s who considered himself cheated in a recent deal.
Despite his political opposition to Caesar, Vorenus has no choice but to approach Antony, pleading for a renewal of Antony’s prior offer. Antony does not usually believe in second chances, but he needs good men around him in his new, unfamiliar role as city protector. Vorenus is reinstated into the army as Evocati prefect (with a cut in his promised signing bonus).
In the most solemn terms, Servilia inscribes curse tablets against both Caesar and Atia, and a slave deposits them in their respective houses. She is now committed to destroying both of them.
Caesar and his army reach the coast to find that they are too late: Pompey has escaped to Greece, no doubt to raise a new army against Caesar.
Historical and cultural background
The title of the episode is a phrase used by Mark Antony advocating “no mercy” toward Pompey and the Optimates. The phrase is English translation of the Latin “Murum aries attigit” (see De Bello Gallico, Book II, Chapter XXXII). It refers to the policy of not allowing any mercy or surrender to the occupants of a fortification once the battering ram begins the assault on the gates. This policy was to act as a deterrent against resistance to those about to be besieged. It was an incentive for anyone who was not absolutely sure that they could withstand the assault to surrender immediately, rather than face the possibility of total destruction.
Posca mentions that Caesar cannot allow his wife to divorce him—her family’s influence is critical. Calpurnia was Calpurnia Pisonis, daughter of Lucius Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus. That would make her father an ex-consul of Rome, as well as an ex-proconsul of Macedonia—clearly a man of political experience and influence. It is also interesting to note that Lucius Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus was instrumental in having Marcus Tullius Cicero exiled from Rome for a period in 58 BC and 57 BC. This fact may explain part of the animosity Marcus Tullius Cicero bears towards Caesar and his family.
Towards the end of the episode, Lucius Vorenus re-enlists with the 13th Legion, and is inducted into the ranks of the evocati, who were “career” soldiers who had re-enlisted in the legions after their original “term of service” was up—usually at the request of their commander. The evocati tended to occupy the higher-ranking positions within the Legion, were released from some of the more menial duties, and were awarded a certain level of respect.
A displeased Mark Antony reduces Lucius Vorenus’s signing bonus to 9,000 sestertii—or 2,250 denarii—when Vorenus returns to him. The value of the Denarius is discussed in How Titus Pullo Brought Down the Republic, but 2,250 denarii would be roughly equal to USD $225,000. (The significance of the reduction may be that this is Antony’s final offer—Vorenus’s last chance.)
Mark Antony promotes Lucius Vorenus to the rank of “Prefect, of the first grade”. It is not clear what rank is being awarded here. The rank of Prefect within the legion was roughly that of a Lieutenant Colonel—they occupied positions of authority over a particular aspect of the entire Legion (Praefectus castrorum = camp commandant, Praefectus fabrum = officer in charge of engineers and artisans, Praefectus legionis = equestrian legionary commander, etc.). Regardless of his specific area of responsibility upon re-enlisting in the 13th, Vorenus’s new rank is a three-grade promotion.
As part of his induction into the evocati, Vorenus—in full dress armor—sits a vigil in the temple of Mars, Roman god of War.

A typical prize selection for Most Expensive.
Most Expensive is a pricing game on the American television game show The Price is Right. Debuting on October 16, 1972, it is played for three prizes, each usually worth more than $1,000. Jay Wolpert, the show’s producer from 1972-1978, created Most Expensive.

Gameplay
The contestant is shown three prizes and must decide which one is the most expensive. The prices are then revealed one at a time, ending with the selected prize. A correct choice wins all three prizes.
History
Most Expensive is occasionally played for three trips, with one trip skin behind each of the doors. On September 22, 2009, the three trips were displayed behind one door, with the new video wall monitors. It has also been played twice for three cars, on the first episode of the 35th and 37th Seasons.
Most Expensive is also the only multiple-prize game known to have been played for three of the same prize (not cars/trips). On the April 1, 2009 (April Fools Day) episode, all three prizes were Howard Miller floor clocks.
From 1978-1989, many segments featuring Most Expensive (and 1 Right Price) ended with former host Bob Barker bringing the models (Janice Pennington, Dian Parkinson, and Holly Halstrom) onto the stage to talk about what was happening in their personal lives and things that happened to them during the previous days. This practice stopped shortly after Season 18 began due to the scandals involving Barker and Parkinson.
When the game debuted in 1972, it borrowed three podiums from Five Price Tags with shelves to hold the price tags and the numbers “1″, “2″ and “3″ attached to them. In 1975, the set was redesigned, with its own number stands, and the current stands debuted in 1984. In all three cases, all three numbers are lit up at the start of the game, and once the contestant has chosen a prize, only its corresponding podium stays lit. In the event of a loss, the lighted number behind its prize also goes out; a win is indicated by all three numbers blinking (this is most noticeable with the game’s original set).
Nighttime appearances
On the original syndicated version, Most Expensive was referred to by host Dennis James as All or Nothing at All. For Season 2, both Most Expensive and Double Prices were not played. Most Expensive returned many times for Season 3 and beyond, while Double Prices was only played once during Season 3 and did not appear for the rest of James’ tenure.
Most Expensive was also played on the Tom Kennedy and Doug Davidson versions, however without the traditional talk with the models after the game.
Foreign versions
On the 1980s UK Price, the game known as “Most Expensive” actually used the rules of Eazy az 1 2 3 (which did not exist yet in the United States). Contestants were asked to number the prizes 3-2-1 from least to most expensive, and winners would only receive the most expensive prize.
In the first two series of Bruce’s Price is Right, the American format of Most Expensive was used, although winners would still only receive the most expensive prize. In the third series, the game reverted to the Eazy az 1 2 3 format, and winners began to receive all three prizes.
