10 Questions for Hugh Pope
Hugh Pope is the author of Dining with al-Qaeda: Three Decades Exploring the Many Worlds of the Middle East, Sons of the Conquerors: The Rise of the Turkic World, and Turkey Unveiled. He was a foreign correspondent in the Middle East for 25 years, most recently with The Wall Street Journal, and has a degree in Oriental Studies from Oxford. He currently works for the International Crisis Group, focusing on issues of Turkey and Cyprus. Despite similarities of physiognomy and Oxford educations Hugh Pope is not Hugh Grant.
Below are 10 questions.
1 – In Sons of the Conquerors I recall you being able to communicate with people from all over the Turkic world in Turkish. My impression from that is that from Xinjiang to Anatolia the differences between Turkic languages are relatively marginal. Am I misremembering something here? Can you give an analogy as to the distance between Turkic languages in terms of intelligibility? (e.g., Spanish:Italian::Turkish:Uzbek)
Turkic languages are in three main groups: roughly the more westerly group of Turkish, Azeri, Balkan Turkish and Turkmen; a central group including Uzbek and Uygur; and an eastern group that includes Kazakh and Kyrgyz. The westerly is the most developed, and you could say share the same inter-intelligibility of Spanish, French and Italian. A Kazakh and a Turk will however take longer to learn each other's languages. However, since the structure is similar, and there is quite a good overlap of words (although they can be pronounced very differently), they learn them much quicker than learning a tongue in another language group. Because Japanese shares many grammatical similarities with the group, many Turks and Japanese can also learn their languages much quicker than others.
2 – One of the first nations in the Middle East in which you lived was Syria. As you observe in Dining with al-Qaeda Syria preserves a great deal of religious diversity, a variety draining out of many of the other nations in the region. In particular, I am curious as to your assessment of the attitudes of Alawis to the Muslim world as a whole. From my reading I am to understand that they have been "mainstreaming" their identity over the past few generations so that they are now a sect of Twelver Shia Muslims, whereas in the early 20th century their own self-perception was much grayer, with an identity more distinct from Islam as a whole like the Druze or Yezidis.
Interestingly, Alawis in Syria are different from the Alevis in Turkey, but both have hesitated to describe themselves completely outside mainstream Islam. Clearly they come from rural groups who share a common point of a different, Shia-style tradition, distinct from the main (Ottoman) Sunni power of the Middle Ages. In Turkey, many Alevi communities appear to have been converted by missionaries from Safavid/Shia Iran, and because there was so little communication between different parts of the empire, it gave rise to many different Alevi traditions. The picture in the two main post-Ottoman countries with Alevis/Alawis, Syria and Turkey, has diverged somewhat since then. The minority Alawism of the Assad family, in power since the 1970s, has had more impact on their efforts to keep Syria 'secular' rather than promoting any Alawi orthodoxy. In Turkey, where Western style rights and freedoms have been spreading, various Alevi factions compete to be known as mainstream or even official. There are some Turkish Alevis, apparently a minority, who want to be considered as a distinct religion. One feature shared with Syria is a love of secularism — some Turkish Alevis even treat republican founder Kemal Ataturk as a kind of saint, probably because his secularism defended them from oppression by the Sunni majority. A difference with Syria is that even though the Alevis in Turkey can't agree on a common dogma, Alevism is now very much established as an alternative to Sunni Islam.
3 – I've never been to the Middle East so what I know is mostly from books, papers, and various data sources. The World Values Survey in 2005-2008 had he following results for selected nations in regards to those who were convinced atheists:
Great Britain – 10.4%, 105 out of 1041
USA – 3.6%, 42 out of 1249
Turkey – 0.5% 7 out of 1346
Egypt – 0% 0 out of 3051
Iran – 0.1% 3 out of 2156
Jordan – 0.1% 1 out of 1106
I've provided percentages and counts. As someone more intimately familiar with Middle Eastern people, do these numbers tell us anything real? (I know in the USA the percentage who don't believe in God is higher than those who say they're atheists, because the label atheist has some stigma)
It's true that religion, and respect for religion, is very deep-rooted in Middle Eastern societies. I think it is partly because they have had a very rough time in the past couple of centuries, making people distrustful of human efforts and outside powers. You should also take into account the very vivid and influential stigma attached by the Koran and Muslim societies to anyone leaving the faith or not believing in God.
4 – The term nation has a relatively broad meaning in English today, and informally denotes a particular land mass enclosed by political boundaries. But a narrower older meaning is that a nation consists of a particular people with an identity as a nation on a particular territory. The nation-state if you will. By the second definition it seems that Turks and Iranians (despite the ethnic and religious diversity in both these nation-states) have a sense of nationality. Most Americans at this point would probably agree with the assertion that Iraqis do not have such a viewpoint, while it seems that many of the Persian Gulf monarchies are more coalitions of clans brought together by personal rule. Of the Arab nations Egypt in particular seems to stand out to me as analogous to Turkey or Iran. What would say of this assertion?
I think your assertion is broadly correct, and I'd also note that the sense of Iraqi nationality may be in eclipse but that it is still there. Most Iraqi Kurds might dream of an independent Kurdistan, but I'm not sure they really want to merge their advanced society of three million people with, say, the 12-15 million poorer, less educated Kurds of Turkey. Turkey, Iran and Egypt all have long and well-established state traditions, which also tends to nurture a sense of nationhood. Arab states, many of which were previously part of the Ottoman Empire, have a much harder time making their statehood seem like nationhood. Saudi Arabia may come the closest to this – the Saudi family has been running things in that part of the world off and on for 300 years – but Saudi Arabia is a rather unusual place so hard to make generalisations about it!
5 – Let's play at "alternate history." What if the world's largest concentration of oil reserves were not in the Arab Middle East and Iran. Would these Middle Eastern nations be more well off, like Turkey, or would they be ignored and destitute like much of Africa and Afghanistan?
With all the caveats of alternative history, I suspect that a country like Iraq, with a state tradition and a long history would have done better, and that it would have been very hard without oil to make something of the Persian Gulf states. I agree however with the underlying idea behind your question, that lack of oil has forced a country like Turkey to work harder and have a more tolerant and pluralist culture.
6 – I'm curious about your interactions with the Yezidi's. Did you discuss the details of their religion at all with them? If so, were you simply stonewalled, or did they give you consistent or inconsistent descriptions of their beliefs?
I did discuss aspects of their religion with some Yezidis, and they seemed to have as coherent a world view as any other in terms of theology (try explaining the Trinity to an outsider). In terms of religious culture, however, they had almost nothing to talk about since they have been so marginalized and oppressed. Certainly they feel a lot freer in U.S.-backed Iraq than they did under Saddam Hussein, but the attacks on them by extremists show that things could go badly for them too.
7 – I have an Iranian American friend. He is an ethnic Persian, and I inquired of him as to the existence of an independent Azeri Iranian community, and he did not know if such a group existed. Of course he knew that many Iranians were Azeris, but the distinction seemed of minimal interest to him. More a matter of curiosity than any importance. I'm curious as to ethnic relations in Iran, which seem relatively amicable. One model I have proposed for why Azeris and other Turks are so well integrated into the Iranian state is that to a great extent modern Iran as a Shia nation is a product of the Turkic Safavids and their successors. What do you think of this thesis?
That's possible, but I'm not sure the Safavids took their 'Turkicness' very seriously (the Ottomans, their big rivals, didn't make a big deal of it either). Iranian Azeris are well-integrated because they share Shia faith, they fought side by side with the others in the Iran-Iraq war, and because there is no limit to how high they can rise in Iranian society (despite all the Iranian snobbery against Turks and the Turkish language, and the occasional ethnic frictions there are in Persian/Azeri border towns). Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei comes from an Azeri family, as does Hossein Mousavi. The merchants of the Tehran bazaar are mostly Azeris.
8 – In Dining with al-Qaeda I was struck by the fact that Iranians you questioned about their militant rhetoric dismissed those who took their slogans literally. There seems to have been a gap in how people perceived language from culture to culture (this is true even within the United States). Perhaps a specialist in semiotics would have been handy. Your task as a journalist was to transmit information to the Western public, and so serve as an intermediary. And yet sometimes you encountered difficulties because your editors were less than familiar with the different way language is used in other cultures. Are the diplomats and politicians who deal with Middle Eastern issues versed in these nuances? After the Iraq War debacle I am not so sure that complacent confidence in the "commanding heights" of American civil service and politics should be a default.
The American civil service was well-versed in the nuances of Iraq before the war, but the political power chose to disregard their wisdom almost completely. (Same goes for the UK). American civil servants could not be expected to rebel against an unwise policy – in fact, only a handful resigned – but applied their can-do optimism to what (to me) seems like a completely impossible proposition. In Dining with al-Qaeda I was trying to tell people that they should trust no one with complacent confidence, especially not the media, and that they should develop a sceptical approach to information.
9 – A personal question. Your "divided loyalties," so to speak, are highlighted in Dining with al-Qaeda. You're British by national origin, have lived in the Middle East for much of your life, and worked for American journalistic outfits. If someone asks you "where are you from?, what do you answer? Is it very important who is asking the question?
I find this a very difficult question to answer. I was born in South Africa and raised there until I was nine, by English parents; I went to school in Britain; my university studies were of the Arab and Iranian worlds; I lived nearly half of my life in Turkey; I first married a Swiss national and now a Dutch national; my children have been educated in French and German schools. Generally I say, "I'm from Istanbul", but even that seems less part of my loyalties now, since my favorite place to live is my house in the mountains in the south of Turkey.
10 – There exists the category "Middle East," which includes the Arab nations (or perhaps the Arab nations of the Mashriq + Egypt + Arabia), Turkey and Iran. And yet there is also quite a bit of prejudice between Arabs, Turks, and Persians (as a South Asian I have experienced members of each group taking pains to distinguish itself from the others). But walking through Istanbul, Tehran, and an Arab city such as Damascus or Cairo, are the cultural differences that stark? Can the casual observer tell simply from styles of architecture what is Turk and Persian and Arab? Is it simply narcissism of small differences?
There are real differences between Turks, Persians, Arabs, Kurds and Jews, who are all main Middle Eastern peoples. But each national category has many sub-categories, some of which seem closer to the other main categories than they are to each other! It's the same with Islam – people keep claiming it's 'one', but in fact, Turkish, Persian and Saudi Islam, despite their shared theological reference points, could be entirely different religious cultures. The important thing in the Middle East is to recognize these differences, but also to see where they overlap, along with equally important overlaps with Western culture and commerce.

Mid-trip - Live From the Millenniumby Kuki, CruiseMates Cruise Director
I am writing this mid cruise, after our only sea day on a very port-intensive itinerary. What a glorious day it was in the Mediterranean as we made our way towards Malta, after stops in Villefranche, Toulon, Barcelona, and Palma de Mallorca.
The weather hasn't been entirely co-operative during our stops in Villenfrache and Toulon, but it improved considerably for Barcelona, and Mallorca. Today, at sea, temperatures are reaching into the high 70's, the vivid blue waters of the Mediterranean shine brightly, and everyone onboard is out on deck to enjoy the day.
Let's flashback a few days and I'll fill you in on what we've been up to.
The embarkation process went very quickly, and we were walking onboard, and being escorted to our cabin within minutes of arrival. Due to our unexpected long drive, we weren't able to stop for lunch enroute, so after dropping our carry on luggage in the cabin we headed for the Ocean's Cafe food trough.
While the exterior of the ship is quite appealing her interior is far more impressive, each of her public rooms strikingly different from one another. Each, prettier and more elegant than the last. My favorite room is the Platinum Club, which is the caviar, champagne and martini lounge, located just outside the dining room on Deck 5. It's a wonderful spot for enjoying pre or post dinner drinks. On our first day onboard I found my favorite outdoor spot on the ship. Completely aft, just outside of the Ocean Cafe is a small deck area with teak tables and chairs for al fresco dining, and a marvelous view off the back of the ship. Because of the weather I wasn't able to completely enjoy this spot until the afternoon we returned from touring Barcelona. However, I've been breakfasting there each morning since.
For our first stop in Villefranche, Mrs. Kuki and I, along with another couple had, through Port Promotions, www.portpromotions.com, pre arranged a private car, driver/guide for our own tours. I know this service is also available through www.autoeurope.com. I must say, while this isn't cheap, where possible, it's a simply marvelous way to tour. The driver asked if there were any specific places we wanted to see. He then melded our choices with his local knowledge to provide an exceptional tour! We had made the same arrangements for our stop in Barcelona, with equally satisfying results.
By the time we reached Toulon I was exhausted, and have to admit I didn't even leave the ship. I needed to recover!! In Toulon, for passengers who did not book tours, Celebrity offered a free bus, or boat shuttle into town from the pier where the ship docked. And again in Palma de Mallorca, they offered free buses into the center of town for the passengers. In "Palma" we used this service with very enjoyable results as we walked and explored on our own.
Other members of the "CruiseMates group" booked Celebrity Cruises' excursions, or booked the optional private shore excursions our booking agent offered, or like us, also set out on their own.
On Monday, Oct. 15 we held our first informal meeting just to have the opportunity to finally meet the folks we'd been communicating with for so long anticipating the trip, and sharing information. The cruise line had set aside the cinema/conference room for us for this purpose, but me standing at a microphone, with everyone in theater style seats staring straight at me is much too formal for this Kuki. After exchanging some greetings, and forcing the group to listen to a few of my really bad jokes, many of us moved to the more relaxed atmosphere of the Rendezvous lounge to chat and get to know one and other. A very pleasant icebreaker, I thought!
From left to right: Millennium Hotel Manager George Traganis, Assistant Hotel Manager George Siozilis, Guest Relations Manager Theodoros Stoumpos, Social Hostess Amanda Reid, Kuki and Cruise Director Jim Cannon.
Last night was our "official" CruiseMates group cocktail party in the Cosmos Lounge (the disco). This is a stunning room atop the ship, on Deck 11, with panoramic views. Celebrity did a superb job on the appetizers, and drinks. Everyone got to visit in a very relaxed atmosphere, and the Cruise Director, Jim Cannon, stopped by to visit, and chat with the group. Jim is one of the most friendly, sincere and available Cruise Directors I've had the pleasure to sail with. When you sail the Millennium, be sure to tell him Kuki told you to say hello.
We also had the pleasure of meeting with Hotel Manager George Traganis, Assistant Hotel Manager George Siozilis, Guest Relations Manager Theodoros Stoumpos, and Social Hostess Amanda Reid.
To this point in the trip, the "Olympic experience" (our evening in the ship's alternate dining room) is undoubtedly the highlight of our cruise. To think of the ports of call we've already visited, and the touring we've done, for me to select this as our highlight should speak volumes of what a special experience this is.
Tomorrow we're in Malta until 2 PM. we've arranged for a private galley tour for the CruiseMates gang around 4PM, and then it's time for my transition. It's formal night, as we sail towards Naples. I hope to be reporting again soon, live from this fabulous ship, so stay tuned!

Especially for Athletes
From the Especially for athlete website
Especially for Athletes ("E4A") is a movement specifically designed to inspire athletes and those with whom they associate, to maximize their athletic potential and to use their talents and social influence to assist and lift others. E4A is seeking to build a culture of athletes focused on changing lives through better use of the attention and influence they have access to.
Why the reason for athletes to do more? Here are some statistics showing the struggles our youth face.
Suicide is the third leading cause of death among US adolescents aged 15–24. Although the suicide rate in the United States has remained stable over the past 40 years, the estimated rate among adolescents and young adults has nearly tripled.
Over 160,000 adolescents skip school daily in the United States out of the fear of being bullied.
Recent surveys of college students showed that 80% admitted to cheating in high school, and 2012, 3.6 percent of 8th graders, 14.5 percent of 10th graders, and 28.1 percent of 12th graders reported getting drunk in the past month.
E4A provides education, training and motivational tools to inspire athletes to focus on doing more, and becoming more than just a great athlete. Schools, teams, youth organizations, and individual athletes are encouraged to become E4A certified and join the growing group of athletes of all ages and skill levels including NBA, NFL and Olympic athletes in committing to the E4A promise and wearing proudly their Eyes Up-Do the Work wrist band.
UYSA will begin this partnership by implementing the E4A program into its Olympic Development Program (State Select) each year. "We're excited for the players in our ODP program to be exposed to the E4A curriculum and to see the benefits the program provides for these players on and off the field." Drew Hiatt, CEO of Utah Youth Soccer said. The E4A camp will be held in Mesquite Nevada during UYSA's scheduled ODP combines. "Hopefully, our ODP players will set the example for not just the rest of the kids playing soccer in Utah, but for all youth in the state." Hiatt said.
From Especially for Athletes founder Dustin Smith:
Especially for Athletes (E4A) is proud and honored to be working together with the UYSA to provide Utah soccer players with the finest in leadership and sportsmanship training through the Eyes Up – Do the Work training curriculum endorsed and followed by many top pro athletes, high schools and local business leaders. Athletes will have the opportunity to learn how to better prevent bullying, teen suicide, cheating, drug abuse and poor sportsmanship on their teams and in their schools/communities while also improving their own grades and athletic performance. Parents and coaches are encouraged to provide their son/daughter and teams to become E4A certified through attending an E4A camp or scheduling a private team/club E4A event.
More info on the Especially for Athletes program is available at www.especiallyforathletes.com and registration for upcoming camps available at http://www.especiallyforathletes.com/store/c3/Youth_Events.html

The polls in Alberta as Wildrose implodes
33 comments:
Dave Climenhaga, speaking of Wildrose : "In fact, their supporters were tougher than their leaders and could have made a good showing in the next election. But I guess winning by increments built up through hard work in opposition didn't meet the schedule preferred by Ms. Smith and Mr. Anderson."ReplyDelete
Danielle Smith and Rob Anderson routinely referred to the immorality, corruption and lack of principle of the PCs - that criticism was the impetus offered for the formation of Wildrose in the first place. And here we are. Thousands of Wildrose supporters gave money to the party because they believed it represented a real alternative to the PC, presumed to have fallen into political crapulence and corruption after decades in power. What happens to their investment now? Wildrose stands a good chance of no longer being the official opposition. And people who actively voted against the PCs now find their representatives in the heart of the beast.
Then again, the differences between the PC and Wildrose were always overstated, apart from the free reign given to the farthest right members of Wildrose. In many respects, nothing will change in alberta - at least until prople there realise that they need to make more significant chagnes than merely trading one set of team colours for another.Replies
I agree with what you write above, the only thing I would add is the "free reign given to the farthest right members" was partly a reflection of the party and partly a reflection of the libertarian views of Danielle Smith.Delete
The problem that created Wildrose has not gone away. The Tories are still a party long past their best before date, their track record is just abysmal. I had to laugh when I read in the "reunion" statement that the defectors and PCs were committed to keeping taxes the lowest in Canada, unfortunately unless you make over $90,000 BC has a lower tax rate than Alberta.
And once again Alberta has no opposition. Seems to me that's a recipe for disaster. Nothing now exists to keep the PC's in check !!Delete
add in the BC Health premium income tax.
Dede In BC we are paying 20-30 cents a liter (carbon tax) for gas than Alberta .Delete
The health premium could be described as a tax but, I think it more rightly described as a fee. For people on the lower end of the income scale Alberta's 10% flat tax is double the BC rate. Including BC MSP fees Alberta would have a higher tax rate. Alberta also has a healthcare Insurance premiums at $63 per month under the Healthcare Insurance Plan.
As for the carbon tax unless your car runs on coal you pay 6.67 cents per litre.
Of course we also have a PST but, there are a host of singularly Alberta taxes as well such as school fees or neighbourhood improvement taxes. Then there is the tax to one's health imposed simply by living in Alberta; Currently lifer expectancy is 1 year less for men and women, this would represent a tax of $250,000 dollars.
Good answers.
Why is the average cost / litre at the pump of gas in BC 107.542
Alberta 88.07
Manitoba 91.687
Ontario 98.00
I don't understand how my 85th year (current life expectancy in BC) is worth 250,000 K ?
That is 19 cents a litre average for the whole province.
Ontario .... to which we have to keep afloat with equalization payments is paying 9.5 cents a litre less.....
All info from todays Gasbuddy.com
You will be interested to learn Alberta also has a carbon pricing system on companies that fail to meet energy-efficiency targets. I am not certain whether it is a tax or a fine. On the face of it it appears to more closely resemble a fine but, if every emitter pays the levy than the effect would be similar to a tax.
Bede.... oops my wife pointed out that to increase the revenue lost by our HST fiasco BC has basically frozen personal exemptionsDelete
Alberta's personal exemptions NO TAX at all in 2014 is 17,784 and 2015 18,248
BC's personal exemption 2014 is 9,867 2015 is 9,938
So a person earning 18,000 pays 0 Alberta income tax and pays around $500 in BC.
The working poor basically paying for the revoke the HST
somebody making 30,000 has 20000 taxable income in BC and pays 10000 has taxable income of
Same person making 30000 in Alberta has a taxable income of 12000 and pays $1,200
There are a whole lot of other breaks (paying health Care, Low cost housing) that are impacted by the lower personal exception....higher taxable income,
Let's talk equalisation payments (and their predecessors). From the time of Confederation until the '60s and '70s, Ontario and Quebec paid for Alberta, BC and Saskatchewan, and with changing fortunes (in no small part due to policies of the current and previous federal governments) now require support for those provinces that they previously aided. Who would be so parsimonious as to not help one's country-people and neighbours?Delete
Of course, a major factor not being factored in is how Alberta counts on resource revenue to keep those personal taxes low. Alberta spends more per-person than Ontario, BC, or Quebec (found this via Canadian Taxpayers Federation) thanks to those massive revenues. The problem is unless oil starts climbing it is a house of cards that will collapse very, very soon. The PC's are smart to try to get ahead of it by first killing off Wildrose (their strongest opposition), then by trying to cut spending. They will also need to increase taxes, like it or not, unless oil jumps again as their budget would quickly fall apart.Delete
An estimate of oil losses is around $7 billion a year immediately, and it could grow (via the Alberta premier). $9 billion is how much they made from royalties (21% of their budget) and until oil climbs you can bet a lot of jobs will be lost as well (thus more pressure on the budget). So Alberta could see as big as a 21% increase in personal taxes to compensate for the lost royalties. That won't happen of course, but a mix of spending cuts and tax increase will happen and it will be very, very painful.
Meanwhile expect Ontario to start climbing up thanks to a lower dollar (making manufacturing more competitive) and if oil stays low for a few years Alberta moving to have not status and Ontario moving out of that status (and the dollar in the 80 cent range).
Your math is incorrect.
The BC tax rate is 5.06% on the first 37,606 of taxable income.
Using your example 30,000-BC personal allowance=20133 (.0506)=1018.73
Alberta: 30,000- Alberta personal allowance =12216(.1)=1221.6
The difference is 202.87 in favour of BC.
Alberta hasn't had a revenue problem in 40 years. Alberta has a spending problem.Delete
Ralph Klein balanced the budget when the price of oil was $12/bbl. The prosperity of the 1990s was not built on oil revenue.
But the overspending of the 21st century most certainly is.
Alberta has a revenue problem, they don't tax enough and consequently, they are always scrapping to fund hospitals or transit.Delete
It is time to repeal S. 92A of the Constitution Act, 1867 and the Constitution Act 1930 (which may be ultra vires in any case) and give sub-surface resource rights back to its original and rightful owners-The people of Canada! Trudeau had no right to give away these resources to Alberta.
How can Alberta have a revenue problem then their government has the highest per capita revenues in the country?Delete
Ontario and BC and Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Quebec all get by with less money. Why can't Alberta?
Alberta has a corruption problem, and a spending problem. Did you know that it costs Alberta 3 times as much to build those big electrical transmission towers than it does in BC? Even though BC has much more difficult and less accessible terrain?Delete
Alberta is awash with waste and inefficiency. There's no lack of money. There's a lack of transparency and oversight, but there's tons of money.
Alberta has a revenue problem because its revenues are not stable, they are overly elastic to the price of oil. A $1 drop in the price of oil over 12 months decreases revenue by $215 million.Delete
Yes Alberta does have a corruption problem electrical transmission towers are a prime example. There is a lack of transparency because no meaningful opposition exists and therefore the Legislative Assembly can not do its job.
Once is has enough money to fund its operations, any instability above that doesn't matter. If they reigned in their spending, they could just let the volatility of oil prices affect how big their surplus was. But it shouldn't ever touch their spending.Delete
Alberta has high costs and currently doesn't pull in enough revenues to meet its "operations", hence, the Alberta penchant for deficit financing.
People like you assume Alberta could "cut spending" but, then forget about the sunk costs and required spending of government. The Canada portion of the Canada Health and Social Transfer is dependent on provincial spending, pensions need to be paid, Alberta has signed agreements, contracts etc... with a whole list of people, groups and organisations from the Metis to Enbridge that may impose additional costs if broken or reneged. Let us also not forget the reclamation and shut down costs of oil and gas production that fall upon Alberta if the proponent fails to clean up the environmental damage.
Sadly, Alberta would be unable to let the volatility of oil prices alone contribute to its deficit/surplus because oil and gas rents equal roughly 25% of their budget. In other words oil and gas rents pay for a large portion of operational spending. You write that oil rent funding "shouldn't ever touch their spending" but, they have financed their government through oil and gas rents for the past 50 years while at the same time cutting taxes less dependent upon oil prices. Today, Alberta simply can not finance itself without revenue (and lots of it) from oil and gas rents.
The "health premium" is absolutely a tax and in no way either a "fee" or "insurance". The government says you have to pay it regardless of whether you use the services it allegedly pays for minimally, extensively, or not at all. That alone makes it a tax. Fees are related to use of services. An example of an actual fee would be admission to the Royal BC Museum: if I choose to go to the Royal BC Museum I pay an admission charge which is a fee, but if I choose not to go to it I don't.ReplyDelete
This "health premium" also has no connection with actual health premiums: it's supposedly term health insurance, but real term health insurance is not priced like that: its rates vary dramatically with risk factors such as age. If the government said "you have to buy health insurance, but you can choose whether to buy it from us or from the private sector" then it would be reasonable to call it a health insurance premium, but that's absolutely not what they say.
As a bonus, the amount of revenue raised by the Medical Services Tax (about $2 billion) has no relation to the amount the provincial government spends on health care (about $16 billion).
Calling it a "fee" or a "premium" is pure marketing on the part of the government. How to charge poor people a higher tax, not just relative to their incomes but in actual dollars (rich people are more likely to be married than poor people and married people pay a lower rate on this tax), pretend your tax rate is lower than it is, and have hardly anyone call you on it.Replies
A better example might be the fee you pay to get a driver's license. That's a government program, but it's optional.Delete
The health premium is a tax.
It could be a fee since, everybody will at some point use at least part of the Health system in some fashion.Delete
Your writing on "health insurance" is a market based system, Canada has a single payer system and therefore rates do not need to vary by risk factors. Healthy people in effect subsidise the health care of the less healthy. It does have a connection with health premiums since, the system still incurs costs and collects revenues, the single payer system is just not as susceptible to shocks as a private market based system.
The idea that somehow fees are optional whereas, a tax is mandatory is just plain incorrect. Court fees for example are not optional and taxes are not absolute, they can be lowered by personal discretion-capital gains taxes for example are only payable when an asset is sold and can be mitigated through the claiming of capital losses.Delete
Court fees are optional. You can simply decline to mount a defense, or not file suit against anyone.Delete
No Ira, when costs are handed down by a judge you must pay.Delete
The business-side of Wildrose was very badly run. They were remarkably inefficient at raising money, their internal communications were laughable, and their use of technology was antiquated.ReplyDelete
The party, as a mechanism to achieve political goals, simply didn't work. And it wasn't likely to be fixed.
Had Wildrose won the last election, they likely would have immediately absorbed much of the staff and structure of the PCs, thus improveing their position tremendously. This is what happened to Reform when they absorbed a bunch of the staff and structure of the Ontario PCs when the Canadian Alliance was formed, and then shortly thereafter moved their head office to Ottawa (from Calgary).
As such, I'm not terribly surprised, nor do I think Albertans should be worried. Blind partisanship doesn't benefit anyone. No one should be supporting Wildrose simply because they are Wildrose. People should support Wildrose because they think Wildrose can improve Alberta in some meaningful way.
And during the Redford administration, that was probably true.
It may no longer be.Replies
Albertans should be worried. A strong and effective opposition is critical for good governance and accountability.Delete
I don't know much about WildRose's internal structures but, they did raise $3 million last year.
They spent roughly $0.80 to raise $1.00. Someone sold them on telemarketing as a strategy, and they invested heavily in that inefficient medium.Delete
Lougheed never had an effective opposition. Did he not govern well? Ralph faced an effective opposition in only his first term. Ernest Manning was a terrific premier, and only twice in his seven majority victories did he have an official opposition at all.
Lougheed was the best of a bad lot. He failed to build a refinery or diversify the economy or tax base. He gets high praise for the Heritage fund but, the ease with which money can be withdrawn or not deposited shows its development was not properly thought through. From what I can gather royalty revenues haven't been added to the fund since, 1987. It's management also leaves much to be desired. Ideally, it should act as a hedge therefore allowing the fund to finance capital infrastructure projects is counter-productive and negates its ability to hedge.Delete
When the market crashed Lougheed sure got out of Dodge quick. Lougheed and every other premier of Alberta's failure shared equally with the population is the failure to develop a mature political system. It's why today Alberta is headed for a very deep recession.
Ralph, frittered away a large surplus in the least efficient way possible. His dividend cheques created inflation not wealth.
Every single Alberta premier has totally failed their constituents and it is because Alberta lacks an opposition. Alberta premiers don't need to govern well because they have no fear of defeat. The result is the mistakes we see today in Alberta.
The provinces cannot create inflation. Inflation is merely a change in the money supply.Delete
Ralph did fritter away what should have been a much bigger surplus, but he also created that surplus, and did so when oil revenues were very low. He deserves credit for that.
Alberta is not headed for a recession. At all. There will be no recession in Alberta. And even if there were, they have a long way to fall. The per capita GDP in Alberta is far and away the highest in Canada. The recession would need to be impossibly long and deep before another province approached its level of overall prosperity.
Firstly, inflation is not a change in the money supply, it is an increase in costs, primarily and specifically an increase in prices.Delete
Yes Provinces can create inflation by increasing spending. Ralph's dividend cheques created inflationary pressure at a time when the economy was already roaring. Governments can increase inflation in others ways as well such as raising interest rates on bonds, increasing costs on citizens (through higher taxes for example) or increasing spending.
Ira, if you don't think Alberta headed for recession that is your business but, considering 80% of Alberta's economy is directly or indirectly related to oil in some fashion and oil prices have halved a recession is almost inevitable. A recession is simply a contraction in GDP for two consecutive quarters. Oil is a large part of Alberta's economy and it is worth less today than 6 months ago. It is nearly fantastical to assume that growth in other industries would off-set the drop in oil price.
The oil and gas sector alone represents 22% of Alberta's economy, roughly $62 billion in 2013. If we assume the industry elastic to oil prices then that industry today is only worth about $34 billion. That $28 billion drop represents roughly -10.5% of Alberta's GDP.
As for relative GDP it is quite possible Saskatchewan's per capita GDP will surpass Alberta's this year.
Saskatchewan's GDP would be affected by the price of oil, as well. Don't forget to apply your methodology across the board.Delete
I considered that but, SK's is much less reliant on oil and gas and their economy more diverse.Delete

In response to Borepatch's and Sean Sorrentino's postings about the University system and their disconnect from reality. In addition to their comments, I'd like to add that the present University's way of doing business is not helping students to become full-blown adults and members of society but continues to coddle and wrap them in bubble wrap all the way out the door--thus we end up with a bunch of special snowflakes who have never been allowed to fail, to learn from mistakes, and to learn the lessons of personal responsibility.

STANTONSBURG � Don Webb, a former hog farmer and founder of the Alliance for a Responsible Swine Industry, or Coastal Carolina Riverwatch, in 1992, said he saw pink sludge in a Stantonsburg waterway the morning of March 15 when he was driving down Sand Pit Road.
STANTONSBURG � Don Webb, a former hog farmer and founder of the Alliance for a Responsible Swine Industry, or Coastal Carolina Riverwatch, in 1992, said he saw pink sludge in a Stantonsburg waterway the morning of March 15 when he was driving down Sand Pit Road.
The pink sludge was caused by a hog waste spill in Greene County near the Wilson County border.
�(Representatives of the farm) weren�t even down here when I came by here that morning,� he said, adding he was the first person to call David May, Water Quality�s aquifer protection regional supervisor.
May said he received a phone call from Webb, and within minutes an email was sent to his office from the farm, but he didn�t see it until later that day.
A neighbor, Katie Joyner, said she saw the pink sludge in the waterway that wraps around her home on March 14. A video of Joyner and her grandson being interviewed by Webb and Rick Dove, president of Coastal Carolina Riverwatch, shows her grandson insisting he saw the pink water two weeks earlier when he was repairing his grandmother�s roof.
The Waterkeeper Alliance took samples from what the Alliance and Coastal Carolina Riverwatch say is a blue line stream three days after the report on the spill was made on March 15.
Larry Baldwin, an Alliance inspector, said the fecal coliform count was 1,545 coliform units per 100 milliliters of water sample at the Sand Pit Road site. Anything over 200 CFUs per 100 milliliters is considered a high count.
�We had numbers that were almost eight times that at the Sand Pit Road site,� Baldwin said.
Across the road where the unnamed stream meanders around Joyner�s home and continues along Bad Alley Road, the count was 300 CFUs per 100 milliliters.
Baldwin said nitrogen, phosphorous and ammonia levels were also elevated, indicating waste in the water.
�Even on Monday (March 18),� he said, �we�re seeing some elevated levels of all the parameters we test for,� he said.
That incident wasn�t the first time water samples have come back from a lab with high levels from the same waterway near the farm, in operation since 1991.
Webb provided The Free Press with documentation of three water test results that were performed by Southern Testing & Research Laboratories in Wilson at various locations near the farm in January 1995.
The results were 190,000 CFUs per 100 milliliters, 246,000 CFUs per 100 milliliters and �Too Numerous To Count,� according to the report of analysis.
�It was pink all the way to the tree line,� Webb said. Just beyond the tree line is Contentnea Creek, which is about a mile from the spill site. The creek drains into the Neuse River.
Under the federal Clean Water Act, a facility that continues to discharge pollutants into public trust waters could receive penalties up to $10,000 a day, Dove said.
The farm, owned by Murphy Family Ventures, received a notice of violation from the N.C. Division of Water Quality March 21 for discharging hog waste into surface water.
The Division also issued notices of deficiency on March 11, Feb. 6 and Jan. 9 for a high freeboard level and failure to maintain waste levels in the lagoon in accordance with the farm�s Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
The hog farm is required to respond by the end of the week.
In October 1999, the farm, then owned by Donald Parker and contracted with Murphy Family Farms, was cited for a 16-inch freeboard � the distance from the surface of the lagoon�s waste to the rim of the lagoon. The report also noted the total freeboard and storm capacity at the farm was less than adequate.
The incident occurred in the morning at the spray field. The Division of Water Quality inspectors who came to the site following the October incident reported a cap had become loose on an irrigation hydrant while spraying effluent on a field, and the hydrant�s opening wasn�t large enough to automatically shut down the pump. Waste in the waterway wasn�t spotted until 4 p.m.
The investigation revealed nearly a month later the discharge, which spread through a wooded area to the unnamed waterway, occurred because the hydrant was not capped securely after the field was sprayed the previous day, according to the Division�s violation notice.
Fecal coliform sample levels in the waterway exceeded 30,000 CFUs per 100 milliliters.
Stantonsburg Farm was issued a notice of violation Nov. 16, 1999 for failing to comply with the performance standards of the general permit issued to the farm.

This is what I am trying to achieve.
How can I make such a design in web application using ASP.NET properly.
A bit of thought on the same:-
How to properly set this up with good layout manager?
Template is dynamic and is generated based on the database values. Template will have only table rows and columns and the content is to be dynamically created (labels/textboxes/checkboxes)
Is creating user controls for each template a better approach?
Can I have inputs from people who have designed this kind of complex systems? Say equivalent of ERP where every part in website is configurable..
PS: The topic was moved from Programmers to UX for a better input. Please don't close it as offtopic.

Froody in the abstract seems great--I like the idea of being able to build and use XML database structures by example, especially--but when you get down to using it, Froody proves unexpectedly troublesome.
Even though the documentation seems fairly comprehensive, it's actually not terribly well cross-referenced, which means that it's often very difficult to find the information you're looking for. (There's also a mistake in the 42.005 QuickStart documentation page which makes some of the examples not work at all.)
The error messages are also very poor--in most cases if something goes wrong you what get appears to be the same stack trace multiple times, where most of the referenced methods are internal to Froody itself.
Aside from these faults, there's the problem that Froody frequently behaves in an unexpected manner. For example, suppose you have a method "foo.example", defined in Prototype.pm. The package that implements this method might start out like this:
package Foo;
use base qw(Froody::Implementation);
sub implements { Prototype => "foo.example" }
sub name { return "Clem"; }
sub example { return "Hullo, " . $_[0]->name }
This, however, DOES NOT WORK--you can't call the name() method from example(). Despite appearances, at the time name() is called, your object is neither of type "Foo" nor "Froody::Implementation" (it's a Froody::Invoker::Implementation), so the name() lookup fails.
This is both unexpected (because it looks like the object is derived from Froody::Implementation) and annoying (Foo can't be a derived class of anything else).
I think Froody is both pretty new, and not widely used, so perhaps it will improve in the future. There's some nice ideas buried in there, and some clever code, but it presently rather troublesome to use.
The manpage suggests that you use SOAP::Lite like this:
print SOAP::Lite
-> uri('www.soaplite.com/Temperatures')
-> proxy('services.soaplite.com/temper.cgi')
-> f2c(32)
-> result;
which is alarmingly different to the conventional way of doing things, which would be something like:
print SOAP::Lite->new(
uri => "www.soaplite.com/Temperatures",
proxy => "services.soaplite.com/temper.cgi"
(RPC::XML has a much more sane interface to web RPC stuff.)

Gunners plot £10m raid on Brazilian teen talent
Arsenal are being linked with a £10 million January raid on Brazilian international midfielder Casemiro.
The 19-year-old Sao Paulo starlet has emerged on the radar of a number of clubs in Europe, according to talkSPORT, with Arsene Wenger one of those holding an interest in the talented teenager.
AC Milan and Juventus are also said to be keen, with the same source predicting a New Year battle between the Italian giants and Arsenal over the one-cap international.
Reportedly valued in the region of £10 million by his club, the Tricolor Paulista are ready to 'cash in' on the player, reports in his homeland claim, with Wenger ready to 'step up his interest'.
The Gunners brought attacking midfielders to the club in August, with Mikel Arteta signed on deadline day and Yossi Benayoun drafted in at the Emirates Stadium on loan.
However, the Israeli international will return to his parent club at the end of the season, meaning Arsenal could look to strengthen if the opportunity arises in the opening month of 2012.
Casemiro appears to be a possible option for Arsenal, and with Wenger's track record of bringing the best out of young players in north London, it could be a great move for the player as one.News Now - Sport News

IBM Selects SanDisk's SATA 5000 2.5" SSD to Provide Flash-Based Storage Solution in IBM's BladeCenter HS21 XM Blades
MILPITAS, CALIF., July 17, 2007 - SanDisk® Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK) today announced that IBM has selected SanDisk to provide a flash-based storage solution for recently-released blade servers. SanDisk's SATA 5000 2.5-inch solid state drive (SSD) will be offered for data storage within the IBM BladeCenter® HS21 XM, featuring the latest in processing and power-management performance.
Blade computers - which integrate servers, storage, networking and applications into one system - offer a design point that helps reduce the proliferation of server "farms," large IT staffs to manage them and wasted energy resources. IBM HS21 XM blades are packed with up to 32 gigabytes1 (GB) of random-access memory and up to eight I/O ports, helping to boost memory and processing performance while reducing energy costs as compared to traditional rack systems.
According to IDC, blade servers are the fastest growing sector of the overall server market, with revenues projected to surpass $11 billion by 20102.
IBM selected SanDisk's SSD product based on its high levels of reliability and performance and low power consumption. Using the SSD, power savings with IBM BladeCenter HS21 XM can be up to 18 watts per blade, 252 watts per chassis and 1,512 watts per server rack3, which can help reduce energy costs.
For the server industry, SanDisk SSDs provide an advantage over conventional hard disk drives in a variety of areas:
Scott Tease, worldwide marketing manager for IBM BladeCenter, said: "IBM is the first major blade vendor to deliver enterprise-class solid state storage in blade servers, helping clients balance datacenter cost, complexity, reliability and manageability. SanDisk's SSD uses up to 87 percent less power than a conventional hard disk drive and runs with no moving parts, eliminating a common point of disk failure and making the HS21 XM blade solution even more reliable."
"The integration of SanDisk's SATA 5000 2.5" SSD within IBM blades is a testament to the value of these products over conventional spinning media," said Ofer Tsur, vice president of SSD marketing at SanDisk. "Servers, personal computers and many other systems are sure to benefit with SSD products from SanDisk."

So far Mitt Romney has escaped the full Daily Show takedown, mostly because why waste time on the Romney-bot when the GOP field is so a target rich.
But after Tuesday's contentious interview with Fox News' Bret Baier -- contentious because Baier asked fair and tough questions about Romney's history of flip-flopping and Romney, who's been hiding from the press for the last 6 months, did not especially like that -- was enough to get Stewart's attention.
"Just like Herman Cain Mitt Romney has an embarrassing person in his past who he's desperately trying to hide. For Herman Cain it's a woman named Ginger White. For Mitt Romney it's Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney is his own mistress. And by the way it makes sense because they say, opposites attract."

Nation & World
For American jailed in Egypt, a long wait for a court date - and charges
Mohamed Soltan, an American-Egyptian citizen, has been held in an Egyptian prison for almost seven months. He says he's been tortured, stripped naked and beaten. He says he's witnessed prisoners beaten to death, that he's been subjected to forced surgery, and that much of his time has been spent in an overcrowded prison cell with no consistent running water. No formal charges have been brought against him.
Yet his biggest grievance is reserved for the United States government, which has been unable to secure his release or provide him the kind of benefits once afforded to American citizens here. In an interview with a McClatchy reporter who visited him in prison, he described his arrest, detention, lagging case and his frustration that his American passport cannot help him in post-Arab Spring Egypt.
For Soltan and others living here, the perks of being an American no longer are what they once were. While U.S. citizens are subject to the laws of the nation they visit, for decades there was an unspoken rule here that Americans and foreigners who contributed to the all-important tourism industry were exempt from laws that might snare ordinary Egyptians.
No longer. These days, foreign citizens and consular officials alike are confronting an evolving system that is overtaxed by the sheer number of people imprisoned and where prisoners are often abused, tortured and even killed.
Soltan, who was born in Cairo but grew up in Missouri, Michigan and Ohio and graduated from Ohio State University, is one of at least seven American citizens known to be incarcerated in Egyptian prisons, where international law, Geneva Convention rules on prisoner treatment and now U.S. influence have limited reach.
Soltan said he's been on a hunger strike, consuming only water flavored with sugar or salt, for more than 40 days, demanding to know why he's being held and hoping to secure his release. "This is the only peaceful means of resistance left for me," he said. "After losing hope in the U.S. government, my only hope is in God."
Before the 2011 uprising that led to the fall of former Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak, Egyptians afforded Americans, more than any other nationality, exceptional treatment. Just the wave of an American passport could serve as a get-out-of-jail-free card. And in instances where Americans reached a prison cell, officials from the Mubarak government made backroom deals to settle the case quickly – and quietly.
Since then, Americans have been swept up as xenophobia, anti-American sentiment and the size of the crackdown on suspected Islamists grow. The consular section of the U.S. Embassy has seen a surge in arrests of Americans since August.
Now there is little the U.S. government can do to break Americans out of the Egyptian system, a major departure from the situation in December 2011, when the U.S. was able to negotiate the departure of 43 nonprofit group workers before charges of working for foreign entities could be made against them.
U.S. officials say they believe their access still makes a difference, by reminding Egyptian officials that the U.S. is watching how its nationals are being treated.
During the visit from McClatchy, Soltan looked no different from the Egyptian prisoners. He wore a white prison uniform. His wrist bore the words "Esteqbal Visit," stamped in blue, referring to the section of the Tora prison where he's being held. The stamp is to make sure he doesn't exchange his clothes with a male visitor and run away. Soltan says it feels like a brand. "They treat us like animals," Soltan said.
His family, like thousands of Egyptian families, waited for hours to see him for 30 minutes. And like others accused of being associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, his case languishes in the Egyptian court system. Soltan has yet to be assigned a court date. The courts are expected to decide next week whether to extend his stay another 45 days.
Soltan, 26, was arrested Aug. 25 when security forces raided his house, looking for his father, a Muslim Brotherhood leader. The raid followed the violent dispersal Aug. 14 of two large encampments set up to protest the ouster of President Mohammed Morsi, a longtime Brotherhood member who was Egypt's first democratically elected president. At least 1,200 people were killed that day. Since then, security forces have arrested roughly 23,000.
Soltan was first taken to Cairo's Al Basateen police station.
"They snatched all of the prisoners, cuffed them and threw them in the police vehicle, without allowing them to take their property," Soltan recalled.
One prisoner resisted and wanted to take his bag with him, Soltan explained. The result was Soltan's first exposure to the pervasive abuse of prisoners in Egyptian jails.
"With the back of their guns, their hands, they suddenly surrounded him and the police beat the (crap) out of him. He just didn't get up," said Soltan, who watched through the little window in the police vehicle. "We didn't know if this was going to be our destiny."
As soon as the detainees arrived at the prison, Soltan said that they were all subjected to beatings with sticks, belts and whips.
"We had to walk through a long hallway way like a maze with police lined up along the walls beating all of us while we passed by," Soltan said.
At one hall, Soltan and the other prisoners were order to strip to their underwear, then stand facing the wall.
"A police officer called me and the other three political prisoners and shaved our heads. He told the other police that we were the ones who killed police officers in Rabaa, so they beat the (crap) out of us for 20 minutes," he said.
"A guy's eye popped out. It was very disturbing to see," he added.
At the time, U.S. officials did not know about Soltan's arrest. Two days later, his brother called the embassy, and U.S. officials began the long process of securing a visit. They began by finding out where Soltan was in the byzantine prison system and then filing requests to see him. The approval was granted Sept. 7, and the visit came a week later.
U.S. officials have visited Soltan three more times since and have asked for another. There's nothing the U.S. can do about his incarceration, but the officials try to make certain the Egyptian government knows they are keeping a watchful eye on his treatment. Consular officials say they plan to attend every court session.
While U.S. officials have ensured his family visits and medical care, Soltan notes that they have only brought him one copy of The Economist and a bottle of Gatorade when they learned that he was on a hunger strike.
Soltan is visited weekly by his family, though such visits require his relatives to wait for hours before they are allowed inside to see him. On a recent visit a McClatchy reporter accompanied them.
The visiting room is large and crowded, with benches built into the walls. The space is so congested that every movement brings contact with another person.
"You're lucky it's not as crowded as it usually is," said Asmaa Sobhy, whose father, a top Muslim Brotherhood leader, shares Soltan's cell.
Mothers, fathers, wives and children pushed and shoved, trying to spot their loved ones who were coming down a long pink hallway to the visitors' room. The same scene played out on the other side, as prisoners bounced up and down, trying to catch a glimpse of their families.
Soltan's cousin, Mohannad, and his Uncle Saaid eyed the line of prisoners coming. As soon as Mohannad spotted his American cousin, he started waving and tilting his head. "There he is," Mohannad told a McClatchy reporter, excitedly pointing at his cousin.
As soon as Soltan stepped into the room his cousin rushed him and the two embraced, a move that revealed a scar on Solatn's arm. It was what remained of two metal pins that had been placed in his left arm to repair damage sustained from a gunshot wound received during the violent breakup of the pro-Morsi encampments. A fellow prisoner, a doctor, performed the operation without anesthesia after Egyptian authorities refused to transfer Soltan to a hospital for proper care, he said.
After Soltan and his family conversed, a visitor offered Saaid a piece chocolate. Saaid unwrapped it and tried to persuade Soltan to break his hunger strike.
"I can't. I've been on hunger strike for 41 days. I can't just end it like this," Soltan said, waving the candy away. "If I die, I will be a martyr."
While visibly thinner than his 250-pound frame before his arrest, Soltan looked relatively healthy. But his spirits were broken.
"We will end up dying in vain," he yelled as the police were escorting all of the families out of the room.

Vice President, Sales, Global Major Projects
There's no doubt that Rick is the real deal: a genuine Otis lifer. He's been with us since May 1983. In that time, he's built up an extraordinary breadth of expertise and experience in project management, service, NE, construction, marketing and engineering.
Pinpointing the peaks is tricky, says Rick, as every high-rise is an exciting, absorbing challenge, but if pressed, Burj Khalifa in Dubai certainly stands out, as it would at 830 meters…
Besides the obvious satisfaction gained from working on breathtaking architectural icons, Rick feels that the best thing about his long career with us has been the opportunity to meet and work with so many amazing, talented people from all over the world.
So how do you spend your precious spare time when you're a key member of our legendary global major projects team? In Rick's case, leisure can mean the thrill of downhill skiing, hunting and golf. He does spend some time indoors relaxing, where he practises the craft of woodworking – it's a long way from the soaring, gleaming profiles of the world's urban skylines and that's the idea.

2018 Honda CRF110F
Be A Responsible Rider: All parents need to consider their youngsters' age, size, ability and maturity before allowing them to ride. Obtain a copy of "Off-Road Safety Tips" from your local Honda Dealer.
Honda's fuel economy estimates are based on EPA exhaust emission measurement test procedures and are intended for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on how you ride, how you maintain your vehicle, weather, road conditions, tire pressure, installation of accessories, cargo, rider and passenger weight, and other factors.
Suggested Retail Price (SRP) excludes destination charge. Visit powersports.honda.com to view applicable destination charge amount.
Mini Bike, Maximum Fun.
Once upon a time, a 110cc bike was a machine for adult-sized riders with some experience in the saddle. Then Honda rethought the situation. Sure, small engines make sense for smaller riders, but small engines also can mean narrow powerbands. Why not build a bike that combined the light weight and low seat height of a beginner bike with an engine that's more beginner friendly? The CRF110F's engine size makes it easy for our engineers to tune in a super-wide torque spread and easy-to-access low-rpm power—just what a novice wants and needs. The right size and the right power delivery—Honda's CRF110F gives riders the best of both worlds.
In terms of seat height and weight, the CRF110F is between our CRF125F and CRF50F. It features both an effortless electric starter and a kick starter, as well. And it all teams up with our four-speed transmission with automatic clutch that's been proven in thousands of bikes, so younger riders never have to worry about stalling or a handlebar-mounted clutch.
Your rider may grow up soon, but it will be a long time before they outgrow a Honda CRF110F.
Common Sense Power: The CRF110F's 109cc engine offers a generous, wide powerband without revving too high—perfect for young riders to learn on. Plus, the CRF110F offers a throttle limiter to allow parents to choose the appropriate amount of available power.
No Clutch Lever, No Worries: With our proven four-speed transmission with automatic clutch, riders can concentrate on shifting gears without the worry of a manual clutch or stalling.
Get Them Off To A Great Start: The CRF110F includes an effortless electric starter. We've even included a backup kick starter, so getting underway is a cinch, even if the battery charge gets low.
- Automatic Clutch: There's no clutch lever for new riders to master, and that means no stalling. In addition, the smooth transmission offers four gear ratios. All you do is shift with your foot.
- Sturdy Steel Frame & Swingarm: Less experienced riders are hard on equipment, especially when they're just starting out. That's why the CRF110F uses a strong, steel frame and swingarm that are built to handle the bumps and dings of off-road riding.
- Four-Stroke Engine: The CRF110F's dependable four-stroke single-cylinder engine offers good performance with a wide powerband—perfect for a wide range of riders including beginners. And because it's a Honda, you know it's reliable, too.
- Low Seat Height: It's important to have a bike that's sized right for your rider. The CRF110F's low seat height helps build confidence right from the start. It's seat height fits nicely between the CRF50F and CRF125F.
- Electric Starter: Push a button and go—that's how easy it is to get going on a CRF110F. Starts after a tip-over are a snap, and the push button means no frustration if junior accidentally stops the engine.
- Backup Kick Starter: Even if the bike's been sitting all winter, you still can get going with the CRF110F's kick starter. It's easy for you to use, and it helps insure that your day of fun doesn't stop.
- Keyed Ignition: You decide who rides and when because you hold the keys. Got your homework done? Good—let's ride!
- Tough Bodywork: Riders can be tough on equipment, and taking a spill is a natural part of learning. But the CRF110F can handle it. With tough plastic fenders, tank, and other body parts, the CRF110F is engineered to shrug off the minor dings of the real world.
- Adjustable Throttle Limiter: Set the top speed by turning a screw. That helps keep new riders from going too fast, too soon, and lets you match the CRF110F's power output to the rider's skill level.
