Your TWIG Editors, Karen Carstens and David Brown Current Affairs European Parliament Celebrates 50th Anniversary The European Parliament, the world's largest directly elected international parliament, turned 50 on March 19, 2008 and celebrated its anniversary with speeches, musical performances by the European Youth Orchestra, and a cake large enough to feed all 785 members, a considerably larger assembly than the European Parliament of 1958 that only had 142 members. European Parliament President Hans-Gert Pöttering said: "Today, we are 785 members from 27 European nations; we represent seven political groups and more than 150 national political parties; we are both a legislative and a budgetary authority, on an equal footing with the [EU] Council of Ministers; we exercise oversight over the European Commission and elect its President; we are the representatives of close to 500 million Union citizens; we reflect all political tendencies in the European Union; and we have become self-assured and a major player in European politics." In congratulating the Parliament, European Commission President José Manuel Barroso said that Parliament's power has strengthened Europe as a whole. The first direct elections to the EU assembly, which meets in both Brussels and Strasbourg, were held in 1979 and its powers have increased over the years. A majority of legislation passed by the Parliament in recent years has focused on environmental, health and consumer safety issues. Much of the environmental legislation the 27 EU member states observe was passed in Brussels by the European Parliament.

To be opened in Berlin, the documentation center examines what Bernd Neumann, Germany's secretary of state for cultural affairs, called "a painful chapter in German and European history." The German federal cabinet gave the go-ahead on Wednesday (March 19) for the 30-million-euro ($46 million) project intended as a "visible symbol against flight and At the heart of the scheme is a permanent exhibition recalling the expulsion of millions of Germans from Eastern Europe during the confusion immediately after the end of war. It will detail the personal experiences of some of the 14 million Germans forced to leave their homes by the Polish and Czech governments in reprisal for Nazi aggression. In addition, there will be documentation about other people whose expulsion was perpetrated by Germans, such as the 1.5 million Poles forced to flee Soviet-annexed eastern Poland after the war. Both Poland and the neighbouring Czech Republic had feared the center would focus on the more than 1 million Germans who died during the exodus and paper over Germany's responsibility for the war. But its planners say Nazi crimes committed in the two countries as well as in Central Europe and the Soviet Union will also be More than 60 years after the end of the war, the project is intended to foster reconciliation while keeping alive the memory of those who suffered as a result of expulsion. The scheme had burdened Polish-German relations since it was first proposed in 2000 by the League of Expellees, which represents around two million displaced Germans and their descendants. Poland dropped its long-standing objections after liberal Prime Minister Donald Tusk took over from Jaroslaw Kaczynski last November. The final obstacles were ironed out last month when Neumann met with Wladyslaw Bartoszewski, an Auschwitz survivor entrusted by Tusk with the task of improving relations with Germany. Nazi German forces invaded Poland in September 1939, triggering World War II. After Germany's defeat, Poland's borders were redrawn and shifted west, causing many Germans to flee.

This is demonstrated by the most recent data on the development of renewable energies in 2007, which were published on March 14 by the German Federal Environment Ministry. According to calculations carried out by the Working Group on Renewable Energies – Statistics (AGEE-Stat), renewable energies achieved a share of 14.2 percent of gross electricity consumption in 2007. This is one fifth more than the previous year. The increase recorded in one year is therefore enough to supply a city the size of Hamburg with electricity. Although its growth has slowed down somewhat, wind energy supplied by far the largest share of the electricity generated from renewable energies. This trend was reinforced by the fact that, after two generally low-wind years, 2007 was characterised by an above-average supply of wind. There were also marked advances when it came to the generation of electricity from biomass, which – together with landfill and sewage gas and the organic share of waste – overtook hydropower for the first time. Taken altogether, renewable energies supplied about 222 terawatt hours (TWh) of energy in the electricity, heating and fuel sectors in 2007. Their share of Germany’s total energy consumption therefore rose to 8.5 percent last year. In 2007, renewable energies saved a total of approx. 114 million tonnes of CO2; of which about 57 million tonnes were attributable solely to the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG). Renewable energies have become ever more important as an economic factor. For instance, turnover from the installation and operation of plants in Germany rose by nearly 10 percent to approximately 24.6 billion euros. This was also associated with further growth in the number of jobs in the sector, which now employs about 249,000 people. This year, with its revision of the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG), the German Federal Government is setting the parameters for the continued stable expansion of renewable energies in electricity generation. In addition to this, the preconditions for faster progress on the heating market will also be put in place with the adoption of the Renewable Heat Act Germany is therefore consolidating its role as a pioneer in the expansion of renewable energies.

March 6 saw the start of a public information campaign running throughout the entire application process. Its aim is to inform the population continuously and thoroughly about important steps on the road towards the nomination and to ensure public participation in the regions involved. In a joint action by the four participating Länder, Brandenburg, Pomerania, Thuringia and Hesse, the website has been activated. Interested citizens can find extensive information on the subject of the World Natural Heritage and on the last semi-natural beech forests in Europe. Additionally, the Länder have published the brochure "Beech Forests in Germany - a World Natural Heritage". The free brochure describes the nomination in clear language, highlighting the unique value of European beech forests. The brochure and all future publications on the subject can be ordered from the website. The website allows the public to follow the nomination process and to receive updates on new developments. A guest book allows visitors to the site to exchange their views on the issue, to leave comments and to make suggestions. This will help to ensure broad public involvement with the ambitious project to nominate selected beech forests in Germany as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage. The Federal Environment Ministry is supporting the Länder's joint public relations campaign as well as the entire nomination process. The UNESCO World Heritage Convention places unique natural or cultural sites under international protection. Strict criteria are applied in the process. The application procedure is very demanding and requires qualified preparatory work. For that reason the Länder started early last year to compile a joint nomination dossier to be submitted to UNESCO by February 2009. The Nomination File will include, in particular, a detailed description of the areas and their outstanding universal value. It will also explain which measures are taken to safeguard the World Heritage site in the long term. Selected beech forests belonging to the following five protected areas in Germany will be proposed to UNESCO with a view to being classified as a World Heritage site: * Jasmund National Park Pomerania) * Müritz National Park Pomerania) * Grumsiner Forst in the UNESCO biosphere reserve of (Brandenburg) * Hainich National Park (Thuringia) * Kellerwald Edersee National Park (Hesse). These sites are the most valuable remains of large-scale semi-natural beech forests in Germany and a perfect addition to the primeval beech forests of the Carpathians, which have been UNESCO World Heritage since 2007. It would be a special honour to receive World Natural Heritage status as that would place Germany's beech forests on a level with the Grand Canyon in the USA and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia - or, in Germany, with the Messel Pit Fossil Site near Darmstadt (since 1995 the only World Natural Heritage site in Germany) and perhaps soon the Wadden Sea (nomination process is underway).

A series of events on April 18 to 20 at Jamestown and Williamsburg, VA, will highlight the important presence of Germans at the birth of the American Nation. Guided tours of newly discovered James Fort, the unveiling of new National Park Service historic marker at the Jamestown Glasshouse by the Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany, Klaus Scharioth, lectures, a German banquet, a concert with German early music and a commemorative church service will mark the weekend. The German physician and botanist Johannes Fleischer, who arrived at Jamestown with the first ship in 1607, was the only non-British individual among the initial group of settlers. German glassmakers, who arrived a year later, erected the first glass furnaces at Jamestown and made the first type" product in English America. Other Germans conducted metallurgical experiments. Three German wainscot sawyers helped build a European-style house for Paramount Chief Powhatan and lived in the same village as Pocahontas. German copper coins traded with the natives kept the settlers alive in the crucial first years. Scholars will discuss the contributions Germans made to America on Friday, April 18, and Saturday, April 19, at the Colonial Williamsburg Conference Center. Guided tours will leave the National Park Service Visitors Center on Jamestown Island in the afternoon of April 19; they will emphasize sites where Germans made contributions. Ambassador Scharioth will unveil a permanent historical display at the Jamestown Glasshouse at 4 p.m. on April 19, while glassblowers will demonstrate the actual making of glass similar to the glass made by the first German glassblowers. A banquet featuring German dishes will be held at the Colonial Williamsburg Conference Center on April 19 beginning with a cocktail reception at 5:30 p.m. and followed by a welcome by Williamsburg Mayor Jeanne Zeidler, a keynote address by Ambassador Scharioth, and a lecture by historian John Humphrey on the topic "400 Years of Germans in America and Their Contributions to American Culture." The evening will conclude with a concert by the Countertop Quartet, a vocal ensemble, which will be joined by a period instrument ensemble. The performance will present a slice of the German vocal music history around the time of the Jamestown landing. The weekend of celebrations will close with a German-English service at King of Glory Lutheran Church in Williamsburg on Sunday, April 20, at 9:30 a.m. It will in particular commemorate Dr. Johannes Fleischer, Jr., the first Lutheran in English America.

Three gods descend to earth in search of one good person and discover that kindness and compassion don't pay the rent. Shen Te, a kind and generous prostitute, is driven to disguise herself as the shrewd and unethical male businessman Shui Ta in order to navigate the demands of love, family and hungry neighbors. Bertolt Brecht, the avant-garde father of epic drama, mixes comedy and fantasy to create an exotic world that turns out to be very close to home. The Virginia-based Constellation Theatre Company has produced a presentation of The Good Woman of Setzuan that is the first professional production of this play in the Washington, DC area since Garland Wright directed a translation by Ralph Manheim at Arena Stage in 1985. Brecht was a provocative and daring visionary who created an original style of theatre designed to challenge and enlighten the audience, while engaging them to think about the dilemmas inherent in modern society. He asks how we can remain virtuous in a world that revolves around money and power. An active critic of war and capitalism, Brecht was perceived as at the time by Germany's dictatorship government and he was forced to travel as a refugee from 1933 until he came to California in 1941. An internationally renowned playwright and poet, Brecht founded the Berliner Ensemble in 1949 after he returned to Germany. The company toured throughout Europe, spreading Brecht's influence far and wide. The Good Woman of Setzuan, Mother Courage and Her Children, The Life of Galileo, and The Caucasian Chalk Circle are the most celebrated of Brecht's plays in addition to the musical The Threepenny Opera that he created with composer Kurt Weill. Brecht's brilliance lies in his humor and his ability to inspire while amusing. "Clothing his didactic purpose in dazzling wit and fable-like enchantment, Brecht succeeds magnificently in achieving his distinctive alchemy of entertainment and instruction, art and life," says Eric Bentley, a widely recognized playwright, critic and scholar, one of the foremost authorities on the modern theater, and a longtime intimate of Brecht's. He has created a version of the play that is not a literal translation, but captures the spirit of the work and, in Bentley's words, is "more plausible, has more character, more charm, vivacity, edge." Constellation Theatre Company presented its first show, A Dream Play by August Strindberg in a new version by Caryl Chuchill, in June 2007 at Source. This past October, Constellation brought The Arabian Nights by Mary Zimmerman to Source Theatre. Many of the central talents to A Dream Play and The Arabian Nights have come together again to create The Good Woman of Setzuan. Director Allison Arkell Stockman collaborates with Scenic and Lighting Designer A.J. Guban, Costume Designer Yvette M. Ryan and Choreographer Ashley Ivey. Tom Teasley, a master percussionist who played live during The Arabian Nights, has composed and recorded an original score for The Good Woman of Setzuan. And Katie Atkinson, who played the bewitching Scheherazade in The Arabian Nights, will star as Shen Te, and her alter ego Shui Ta.

Given her good health and great disposition, Flocke could make her first public appearance as soon as early April, according to the Nuremberg Zoo she calls home. The little polar bear cub, who was born about a year after Berlin's world-famous Knut, recently enjoyed her first bath in the form of a created by veterinarian Bernhard Neurohr and keeper Horst Maußner. They put the fluffy white little furball in a plastic bucket and used their hands to splash her with lukewarm water. "She clearly enjoyed it," said Neurohr. she smelled much better, really fresh." Flocke has meanwhile learned to swim in a practice polar bear cub pool (click here to see more photos). © Her immune system has become robust enough for her keepers to feed her without the mouth guards and sterilized gloves they had to don in the past. "Our polar bear girl has to gradually get used to the germs in her surroundings so that she is fit enough to go to her outdoor enclosure in April," said Neurohr, adding that at three months she is also "mature enough for the bone". So he surprised her with one on her three-month birthday on March 11. "Chewing around on the bone is important for her dental care," he said. Flocke had already been chewing on everything and anything she could clamp her little jaws onto for several weeks. And she is growing increasingly active, playfully jumping and snapping at her keepers. © But she seems to know it's time to sit still: "Flocke immediately senses when playtime is over and a calmer tone is called for. During her bath she immediately settled down and behaved very well." In the wake of several Flocke songs, not to mention beloved online video clips and merchandise, a first biography is due to be published in April by the Nuremberg-based Tessloff Verlag publishing company. This first official "Flocke diary" will cover the first three months of her life in about 30 pages. Another book is also in the pipeline for publication in mid-2009. Meanwhile yet another polar bear cub has appeared on the scene in Germany - a fluffy little fellow named Wilbär has been introduced to the public via some cute glamor shots. Unlike Knut and Flocke, who have been hand-reared by keepers due to concerns that their mothers could not adequately care for them, little Wilbär is in his own mother's care at the Stuttgart Zoo in southwestern Germany.

On March 23, 1933, A Walk to Remember In another Washington Post piece, a march by that drew some 6,000 people to New York's City Hall to protest Hitler's policies towards Jews just three days after he took power in Germany in 1933 is commemorated by Washington's National Museum of American Jewish Military History.

Recurring Nightmare The New Yorker reviews a remake of Michael Haneke's "Funny Games" starring Naomi Watts and Tim Roth. As Watts herself said during a recent late-night TV appearance to plug the film to Jay Leno: "It's not for everyone ... you think you are going to go to a film like this to see people being tortured in some way onscreen, but in fact you - the audience - will be tortured." In the original production, the Munich-born Austrian director Haneke clearly sought to challenge his audience, and this version is also not for the very young or faint of heart. But the fact that it has attracted top Hollywood performers and has been remade attests to the lasting interest in Haneke's provocative work.
