Lukas im Alltag · Daily-life Luke
Professor: So, the gospel of Luke differs from Mark in its concern about... [Walks across room to look at poster promoting Iraq War protest, studies it for a moment, then returns to podium.] Sorry, I was distracted by the war. [Students laugh.] No, really. The things we're doing right now are actually really pointless in the world we live in. [Silence.] Okay! Back to pretending my job is important. Anyway...

Schade, dass dem Professor nicht klar war, wie relevant Lukas für den Krieg eigentlich ist.. What a pity the professor was not aware how relevant Luke is for that war...

Christlich-Demokratisch II · Christian democratic politics II
Die CDU macht ihrem Namen alle Ehre. Der gleichen Meinung ist wohl auch Malte vom Spreeblick. Er reißt einige interessante Hintergründe von Kohl, Biedenkopff, Schleyer, Flick, Ries an.

The German CDU really honors its name. Malte of Spreeblick seems to think similarly. He discusses some interesting background of Kohl, Biedenkopff, Schleyer, Flick, and Ries.
However, I don't think the situation is much better in other parties...

International Health Services · International Health Services
Während meiner Zeit in Singapur war es sehr hilfreich, eine Auslandskrankenversicherung bei einem deutschen Krankenversicherer (DKV) zu haben - die Erstattung war schnell und problemlos, und meine singapurischen Freunde konnten teilweise kaum glauben, was mir alles erstattet wurde.
Simon ergeht es wohl leider nicht ganz so gut - er hat zur Zeit Probleme mit der International Health Services (IHS). Hoffentlich kriegt er sein Geld doch noch zurück...
It was very helpful to have travel health insurance from a German insurance company (DKV) during my studies in Singapore. They refunded everything I paid for medical bills quickly and without any hassle, and my Singaporean friends couldn't believe that everything was paid for by the insurance.
Unfortunately, Simon doesn't seem to be as well off - he's currently having problems with International Health Services (IHS). I hope he will get his money back despite all these problems...
