Description:What is a think tank and how can a mere research institution actually shape the society it claims to be studying? Join us this week on The Corbett Report as we head down into the nuclear bunker with the boys from RAND to unearth the secrets of the research institution that has molded our world for the past 60 years.

Beyond the agricultural and industrial revolutions of the past, a global technology revolution is currently changing the world. This book discusses the broad, multidisciplinary, and synergistic trends in this revolution, including genomics, cloning, biomedical engineering, smart materials, agile manufacturing, nanofabricated computation devices, and integrated microsystems.
In German ‘Rand’ literally means ‘border’, ‘edge’, ‘margin’, ‘frame’. It’s used in many idioms.
You can be ‘Ohne (without) Rand’ meaning borderless, or you can be ‘Voll bis zum Rand’ (full to the brim).
Children, usually, can be ‘Ausser (outside) Rand and Band’. This is translated as going crazy or wild, being beside one’s self.
Marginalising people is achieved linguistically by ‘pushing them on the Rand’ (Jemanden an den Rand drängen) and so it goes on throwing up interesting reflections but I will sign off with one last but fitting slang idiom: ‘Halt dem Rand’ (Shut up).

Nice! Thanks for the German lesson. I might just have to tweet a hearty ‘Halt dem Rand’ at them next time I see them spewing out their propaganda.
