Op 21 juni 1967 ontvangen alle gemeenteleden van de Nieuwe Kerk in Kampen een oproep om te breken met de ontrouwe kerkenraad. Die weigerde één van haar predikanten, ds. Mulder, onder tucht te zetten vanwege zijn handtekening onder de OB. Een kleine minderheid van de gemeente geeft hieraan gehoor. De scheur in de gemeente van Kampen heeft ernstige gevolgen voor de in Kampen gevestigde Theologische Hogeschool. Ze loopt dwars door het docentencorps en de studentengemeenschap. De hoogleraren Van Bruggen, Doekes, Kamphuis en Schilder en lector Lettinga geven gehoor aan de oproep. De hoogleraren Jager (pas geëmeriteerd) en Veenhof blijven in de Nieuwe Kerk. Net als de lectoren Buwalda en Mulder. Zendingslector Wielenga wordt vooralsnog de keus bespaard, omdat hij in Rotterdam woont. Van de studenten kiest een kleine meerderheid voor de afgescheiden groep. Studentenprotest in de jaren zestig in Kampen. Vergelijkbaar met de toenmalige protesten in andere steden en in andere landen? Ja en nee. Nee, want de protesterende studenten waren bepaald niet vervuld van een revolutiegeest. Hun toon is uiterst gematigd. Ze geven de senaat alle respect die hij in hun ogen verdient. Velen geven aan voor de hoogleraren te bidden in deze zware kerkelijke tijden. Er is begrip voor de moeilijke situatie waarin de School is komen te verkeren. Ja, gelet op de regenteske houding van de senaat. Er is van enig begrip voor de moeite en de pijn van de studenten totaal geen sprake. Zij hebben het heil van de kerken voor ogen. Daarbij kunnen ze zich niet laten ophouden door studenten die gewoon moeten studeren. Het heil van de School (want het heil van de kerk) is het hoogste goed. Daarvoor liet men een grote groep studenten ogenschijnlijk vrij gemakkelijk vertrekken. Ds. Johan Schaeffer is emeritus predikant in de NGK. Hij begon zijn studie theologie aan de Theologische Hogeschool in Kampen en werd daar in 1967 getroffen door het attestenbesluit. --

An unprecedented new international moral and legal rule forbids one state from hosting money stolen by the leaders of another state. The aim is to counter grand corruption or kleptocracy ("rule by thieves"), when leaders of poorer countries—such as Marcos in the Philippines, Mobutu in the Congo, and more recently those overthrown in revolutions in the Arab world and Ukraine—loot billions of dollars at the expense of their own citizens. This money tends to end up hosted in rich countries. These host states now have a duty to block, trace, freeze, and seize these illicit funds and hand them back to the countries from which they were stolen. In The Despot's Guide to Wealth Management, J. C. Sharman asks how this anti-kleptocracy regime came about, how well it is working, and how it could work better. Although there have been some real achievements, the international campaign against grand corruption has run into major obstacles. The vested interests of banks, lawyers, and even law enforcement often favor turning a blind eye to foreign corruption proceeds. Recovering and returning looted assets is a long, complicated, and expensive process.Sharman used a private investigator, participated in and observed anti-corruption policy, and conducted more than a hundred interviews with key players. He also draws on various journalistic exposés, whistle-blower accounts, and government investigations to inform his comparison of the anti-kleptocracy records of the United States, Britain, Switzerland, and Australia. Sharman calls for better policing, preventative measures, and use of gatekeepers like bankers, lawyers, and real estate agents. He also recommends giving nongovernmental organizations and for-profit firms more scope to independently investigate corruption and seize stolen assets

"Examines the root causes of people's vulnerability, capacities, and resilience in facing a wide range of different hazards. Gaillard examines people's resilience in the aftermath of disasters, with a particular analysis of traditional societies and urban communities and the role of government policies, notably resettlement through geographical relocation. Gaillard successively addresses the roles of the structural features of the Philippine society, individuals' risk perception, and the nature of people's livelihoods. He underscores the Filipinos' capacities to face natural hazards and disasters and suggests ways forward for integrating such capacities, including those of the most marginalized groups, in activities intended to prevent and cope with disasters"--
