where lots of graduate students come to study. >> when you say oxford was the organization? where is the university. it's everywhere and nowhere because the university is an entity in which there are a number of colleges in medieval days they have their own habits so each of these colleges have a hand who looks after it for the time they, are there. those students will be studying within the departments and faculties at the university of the hole so the college is like their home. >> so there is an oxford university. >> there is and with canada there is all kind of federal entities which we sometimes call silos. but it works as a complicated whole that has grown up in many centuries. so you've got departments, the university administration and call colleges each of which have their own distinct character. it has a special feel to it because it was founded in the 1960's by who was very keen on american culture and civilization and was also a famously liberal philosophers and he wanted to found a college particularly for graduate students he didn't have much of a home at oxfor

>> guest: oxford university, london university, and just recently, the founder of a new college, the study of the humanities here in london where i continue to teach philosophy. >> host: talk about the college. >> guest: well, our education system in england, in particular, not in the united kingdom in general because scot land has a different system, but we are specialists very, very early, very quickly. after the age of 16, school children or high school children take fewer and fewer subjects and start up in universities studying a lot of subjects usually, and this is a mistake for our century where more and more people go to university, but they need a much broader horizon view. i wanted to marry the liberal arts tradition which flourishes in the united states with our own oxford tutorial tradition, which is the one to one very intensive, in-depth examination of the particular subject. you get the in-depth aspect, the breath aspect, and in order to marry them, you ask the students to do much more than they normally do in an undergraduate curriculum. undergraduates must party and l

london we've also talked to dr game amadeo oxford islamic congregation who says the current situation is primarily hurting muslims in the u.k. themselves. really it's a very fraught time very tense time and i think you know we muslims have actually given the gun given the bullet to groups like the b.n.p. in each of these a fart fascist group and tell them shoot us because we provide them with the ammunition by bag engaging in mindless target in terrorism and then also by targeting white girls that simply doesn't in india us to the majority population so muslims have to take some responsibility but we also have to admit that they i-slam of folks out there who take advantage of the of the situation multiculturalism has failed in this society and what does multiculturalism do it keeps communities apart in a bubble so they didn't actually mix the state apart from from each other and what we need is an integrated society and the cultural rather than a multicultural society where is culture mixes with others at the moment we have places like luton or leeds or leicester whatever with actuall

the chief bibliographer of oxford english dictionary took up the search.tence we know of is from a book seller's catalog of 1854. they say it was written and published by a well-known connoisseur. that's all we got. 51 words are essentially homeless in history. who is night lark, and what kind of book is meanderings of memory, and how come nobody can find it? according to oxford english dictionary's chief biblographer, one of the theorys at this point is the book is maybe porn, and apparently, if it was 1852 era porn, it wouldn't have been catalogs in the normal way, and it's hard to find. so they have no idea. so the oed is turning to the public to help. they're putting out a call to bibliophiles everywhere to check your shelves, check the google l, check everywhere for this possibly porny and rare book. have you ever seen a copy of this book? can you identify the well-known connoisseur mentioned by the book seller? it isn't often the dictionary folks come asking us regular people for help. when they do, i feel like we should help if we can. obviously, we

according to oxford english dictionary, one of the meanings of fringy is, quote, furnished or adornedinge or fringes. covered with fringes. and the oed cites a work called crochet castle as the first example in literature of using the word fringy. 1831. all that surrounded their eyes. as fringy as the morning sky. it is reasonable to be a dork about the oed. whatever book you buy comes with a magnifying glass. it is fascinating and useful. here is how it was first used lines, it is an invaluable resource if interested in the word. here is the mystery in today's news. oed editors, oxford english dictionary editors have been compiling and refining dictionary citations since the 1800s, and use thousands of sources. one of the sources used over and over and over again for dozens of words in the oed, maybe it doesn't exist. maybe it does but they can't find it anywhere and has the oed editors stumped. if we go back to the word fringy, the second documented use of that word to mean covered with fringes, it is from this. an 1852 book called meanderings of memory. the usage was fluttering as

david stuckler is a senior research leader at oxford university. dr. basu is an assistant professor of medicine and epidemiologist at stanford university. , doctor, to respond those comments? >> i agree with his comment. what we have found in our research is the suicide rates seem to correspond quite closely to state level unemployment rates. in particular, when we do these long-term studies that track individuals before, during, and after the recession we can control for their pre-existing mental health statistically and find it is the new unemployment that seems to trigger a new onset of depression and suicide, particularly among our most honorable, adults over 52 when they lose a job or often discriminated against or have a very hard time finding new work. there's a great deal of shame in it is quite hard for our healthcare system also to access those individuals given the degree of barriers they have to existing mental-health. >> what is unusual for us in this country compared to other countries is when we lose our jobs, we lose our health insuranc
