 Good morning everyone, let me make you aware of the fact that we have slightly changed the program today. In the morning we will have Heiner Rindermann and Gert Schulze-Rohnhoff speaking and Tony Daniels will be the first speaker in the afternoon. Both morning speakers are here for the very first time. The first speaker is Heiner Rindermann who is Professor of Developmental Psychology at the Technical University in Chemnitz, formerly known as Karl Markstadt under the Communist era, then they changed the name to the traditional name of Chemnitz back. And Professor Rindermann is in about the same field as Richard Lin who was supposed to be here, but couldn't come because a few days ago he woke up and was blind on one eye and had to get some emergency treatment and is now awaiting an operation. Richard Lin as the old-timers now had been a frequent attendee and a frequent speaker here at our meeting. And the second speaker is Gert Schulze-Rohnhoff who was a former general of the German Army of the Bundeswehr and he is also loosely associated with John Denson who is a trustee of Auburn University and a board member of the Mises Institute. I don't think they know each other personally, but they corresponded intensively with each other and pursue similar interests in peace and war. And Mr. Schulze-Rohnhoff also asked me to make you aware of the fact that he had some throat operation. That's why he might sound as if he had partied a little bit too much at night. So with this, please, Heiner Rindermann.
