Rule changes increase allure of bitcoin
Financial Times, 19/03/2015, p.9, Jane Wild

Being German, Becoming Muslim: Race, Religion, and Conversion in the New Europe, by Esra Özyürek
Times Higher Education, 19/03/15
The author, a political anthropologist now based at the London School of Economics, spent three and a half years studying German converts to Islam. Of Turkish ancestry, Özyürek describes herself as a non-practising “cultural Muslim” who is able to relate to a wide variety of German Muslims. The result of her research is a fascinating exploration of the dynamics of Islam in contemporary Germany, seen through the prism of its capital, Berlin.

Albania- How much? Degree costs set to soar
Times Higher Education, 19/03/15
The country’s parliament is expected to approve a major new law on higher education, which is designed to give greater autonomy to universities and help them to diversify their sources of revenue. The draft law is based on a White Paper produced by a special commission headed by Arjan Gjonca, associate professor in demography at the London School of Economics. However, student groups have protested against the planned hike in tuition fees and the introduction of student loans.

Ed Byrne: 'new address is a defining moment for King's College London'
Times Higher Education, 19/03/15
With that site and its continuing £1 billion redevelopment of its Strand campus, is King’s seeking to steal a march on its neighbours, the London of School of Economics and University College London? Both are forging ahead with campus redevelopments: the LSE, which opened its £24 million award-winning Saw Swee Hock Student Centre last year, is to build a new 12-storey social sciences centre at a cost of £90 million, while UCL is pushing ahead with plans for a second campus in Stratford, East London.

Casualty of war: a German scholar on the UK’s home front
Times Higher Education, 19/03/15
As the pioneering work of Christopher T. Husbands, emeritus reader in sociology at the London School of Economics, has shown, many academics became victims of the prevailing anti-German sentiment, with a significant number prevented from returning to their positions or compelled to relinquish them.

Don't worry about the snow and ice! Forecasters reveal this winter was actually the warmest on record
Mail Online UK (Web), 18/03/2015, Mark Prigg For Dailymail.com
Bob Ward, policy director of the Grantham Research Institute at the London School of Economics, said: ‘The new global temperature record announced today completely exposes the myth that global warming has stopped. ‘There is mounting evidence all around the world that the Earth is warming and the climate is changing in response to rising levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. No politician can afford to ignore this overwhelming scientific evidence or claim that global warming is a hoax.’

Britain's mixed bag labour market
BBC (Web), 18/03/2015, Unattributed
Research by the Centre for Economic Performance at the LSE emphasises that more investment is needed in not just capital but innovation that can raise productivity. They suggest policies to improve firms' access to finance, information, and expertise. Like others, they are not opposed to some industrial policy. That's where a weak sterling could help.
