text: Most common form of collaborative works that we observe on online platform would be the joint code development, code sharing. Many IT companies use version controls to keep track of latest addition, modifications and updates in code. Still these softwares don't provide any real time collaboration tool for joint simultaneous development. One of the real time code sharing sites, https://codeshare.io, has come up with in browser video chat feature which enables interactive session between developers while developing any script.It provides following features :1> In-Browser Chat facility: The in-browser video chat facility using WebRTC provide real time connection between developers for idea sharing. This add whole new dimension to pair- programming as compared to text based chat facility of other code sharing sites. WebRTC is a free, open project that provides browsers and mobile applications with Real-Time Communications (RTC) capabilities via simple APIs.2> Platforms for Interview: In-browser chat tool open up avenues for it to be used as Interview platform, thus saving time and money 3> Whiteboard for different scripting language, allowing live script sharing. This currently works in Mozilla, Google Chrome, Opera.

Malaysia Visual Food Diary
There is no lack of food in Malaysia. Eating is the national sport of Malaysians and they live and breathe food. This post is an assortment of some of the magical and tasty food I had the pleasure of consuming while in KL and PJ, but if you'd like a complete run down of Malaysia's Signature Dishes, click here. You know me, being a typical food lover I take so many photographs of food, so although you can't reach your hand out and pull dishes from your screen (technology hasn't quite gotten there yet), do enjoy the visuals.

A Tale of Two Markets [INFOGRAPHIC]
Some Highlights:
- A trend that has been emerging for some time now is the contrast between inventory & demand in the Premium & Luxury Markets vs. the Starter & Trade-Up Home Markets and what that's, in turn, doing to prices!
- Inventory continues to rise in the luxury & premium home markets which is causing prices to cool.
- Demand continues to rise with low inventory in the starter & trade-up home markets, causing prices to rise!

There are probably a few brave and hearty souls out there who just eat cold food or cook over a campfire when they're backpacking. I'm sure they exist. For the rest of us mortals, a stove or some way to heat water at least, is a necessity. But there are just so many options! Do you get a canister stove? A white gas stove? Use a windscreen? Is lighter better? What to do, what to do?
First, learn about the types available. There are several, but the two basic types of backpacking stoves are canister stoves and white gas stoves. Canister stoves are widely available and come in a variety of styles. Some makers of these stoves include Jet Boil, MSR, and Snow Peak.
One type of canister stove sits right on top of the fuel canister. These stoves are great because:
- They are sturdy and provide decent support for your cook pot.
- The temperature control on canister stoves is great, so if you need to simmer food, these work really well.
- Canisters can now be recycled if you punch holes in them once they're empty.
- This type of stove is extremely compact (it will fit in your pocket).
- It is super light.
The disadvantages are:
- Canister stoves don't work as well at high altitudes or when the fuel canister is cold. (If you're using one and it's cold, keep it in the bottom of your sleeping bag on chilly nights.)
- You cannot use a full windscreen with this particular type of canister stove since this stove sits on top of the fuel–you create a fire and explosion hazard. So you lose some efficiency in general and a lot of efficiency if it's windy.
The other type of canister stove sits on the ground and uses a fuel line to connect to the canister. The advantages of this stove are:
- Unlike the other canister stove, this one can use a windscreen to provide maximum heat and efficiency.
- The temperature control is great.
The disadvantages are:
- Again, canister stoves don't work well at high altitudes or in cold conditions. It will take close to 10 minutes to boil water if the temperature dropped to freezing the night before.
- This stove weighs a bit more than the canister-top stove mentioned above.
Your other main option, aside from the canister stove, is a white gas stove. This is what we use when we go backpacking. White gas stoves:
- Use white gas, which is available almost anywhere (and canisters are not).
- Work great at altitudes and in cold weather.
- You can choose different-sized fuel bottles depending on the length of your trip.
- White gas is cheaper than canisters.
The disadvantages of this stove are:
- It weighs a little more and isn't as compact as the canister stoves.
- It takes a little more time to set up in the morning (maybe a minute of priming, etc.)
- It doesn't have great temperature control. If you're boiling water (like we are) then it's perfect. For simmering, etc., not so much.
I find that for ease of use on short trips or when it's going to be warm out (like if we're camping with lows in the 50s), the canister stove is great. It's very simple to use and it takes up less space.
However, when we're in the alpine backcountry temperatures are variable, especially if we're above 10,000ft, the longer that canister stove has to work to heat water, the less fuel you have later on. It can create a stressful situation if you're concerned that your fuel source is going to run out!
On our most recent backpacking trip we used a white gas stove. It was great for boiling water because it works fast no matter what the temperatures. It's easy to hook up and just takes a few minutes of prep. BUT it takes up more room. With the Jet Boil canister-top stove, we can fit the stove AND fuel inside our GSI cookset. The white gas stove requires a separate fuel bottle that I have to carry, plus the stove doesn't fit in the cookset. It definitely made us reconsider the smaller stove/fuel combos that we've used in the past.
If wood is the only way you want to go, however, Biolite does have a wood-burning camp stove that also charges your gadgets!
Whichever stove you choose, make sure you practice with it a few times before heading out. If you already know how to use it you won't waste valuable coffee-drinking time in the morning trying to figure it out.

Despite measuring just 27 miles long by 14 miles wide, this idyllic Caribbean island offers wondrous geographical contrasts, ranging from palm-fringed shores and a tropical-forested interior dotted with coconut, mango and banana plantation, to the twin volcanic Piton mountains that dominate the island's south. With so much to discover and new experiences around every corner, St Lucia can easily satisfying a thirst for adventure against a backdrop of picture-perfect scenery and gorgeous white sandy beaches.WHERE SHOULD I VISIT?
Music fans should visit during the annual Jazz Festival (May 1-9). Past performers have included Rihanna and Seal, while this year's line-up includes Corinne Bailey Rae, Toni Braxton and Shaggy. Another calendar highlight is the annual carnival (July 19-20). The focus of the action is the colourful parade in the capital Castries, when soca and calypso bands, revellers and dancers take over the streets.WHERE SHOULD I STAY? The Jalousie Plantation (www.thejalousieplantation.com) is nestled in the tranquil and secluded Valley Of The Pitons on the island's south-west coast, near the fishing port of Soufriere. The luxury resort is nearing the end of a £65 million refurbishment programme that last year saw the opening of two new restaurants and bars as well as the rainforest spa treatment rooms.
The new Sugar Mill Suites are next. Nearly all the 112 colonial-style rooms and white-washed villas, scattered across 192 acres of forested hillside and tropical gardens, feature private, oversized plunge pools and glorious four-poster beds. Meanwhile the bathrooms come complete with Victorian claw-foot baths, twinkling chandeliers and heavenly Lady Primrose products. OK! checked into room 904 – the same one that Denise Van Outen and Lee Mead stayed in when he asked her to marry him during a trip to St Lucia.
The private patio, surrounded by colourful hibiscus flowers, was the perfect place to watch the sun set over the ocean. The resort's private beach looks out onto a secluded bay, which is designated as a National Marine Reserve, so there's plenty of fabulous snorkelling and scuba diving right on your doorstep.WHERE CAN I RELAX? Book an indulgent massage in one of the hotel's amazing new rainforest treehouse treatment rooms, hidden away among the lush vegetation. Here OK! enjoyed an invigorating Ayurvedic rubdown in an outdoor cabana. In addition, the hotel's Rainforest Oasis Spa offers a myriad of treatments, many using local ingredients such as bananas, coconut, fresh aloe and cocoa. For a very different experience, visit the volcanic sulphur springs, located close to the Jalousie and the Botanical Gardens. Don't be put off by the eggy sulphurous whiff – locals claim soaking in the warm mineral-rich bubbling springs can cure all sorts of ailments and it's actually dubbed the fountain of youth. We held our nose and wallowed in the warm mud pools before rinsing off in the cascading springs.WHERE SHOULD I EAT? Freshly caught fish and tropical fruit feature heavily on most menus. If you're staying at the Jalousie you'll have plenty of choice. Either dress up for a lavish candlelit dinner at the elegant Great Room, where you can feast on Caribbean dishes such as mahi-mahi (a local white fish) with green fig mash and salsa, or for a more relaxed vibe try the new Bayside restaurant, were OK! tucked into chicken with shitake mushrooms and faba beans while admiring the sea views. The Jalousie has two new bars – the chic Cane Bar wouldn't look out of place in New York. Sitting at the white bar, OK! chatted to the hotel's rummelier, who talked us through the lengthy rum list before creating the Cane Paradise, which came with a chewy sugar cane swizzler. __BREAK6__ We then moved next door to the lively Late Night Bar, with its asymmetric chairs, white day beds, modern art and huge signed celebrity portraits of the likes of Kate Moss. WHERE CAN I EAT OUTSIDE THE HOTEL? Close to the hotel is Fond Doux, a working cocoa plantation turned tourist attraction, where OK! sampled an authentic lunch of Creole chicken. If you like mouth-watering desserts, we loved the chocolate rum mousse with coconut wafer at the Dasheene, part of the Ladera resort. __BREAK7__ The rugged streets of nearby Soufriere are lined with restaurants, reggae bars and souvenir shops. Every Friday evening you can party with the locals at the Fish Fry in the nearby village of Anse La Raye. Here you'll find a street party atmosphere as well as barbecue fish stands and craft stalls. Further afield, you'll find plenty of seafood restaurants around the glitzy yacht-filled marina at Rodney Bay. Try the seafood creole at Buzz or nibble on sushi and star anise roasted duck at The Edge. WHICH CELEBS WILL I SEE? Loved-up celebrities adore St Lucia's romantic shores. Kelly Brook and Danny Cipriani holidayed here last year and Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson are fans. Lee Mead and Denise Van Outen have stayed at the Jalousie Plantation, while an episode of the hit reality American TV show The Bachelor was filmed at the hotel. Amy Winehouse also enjoyed a well-documented extended stay on the island last year. WHAT SHOULD I DO? OK! put aside a slight fear of heights to soar through the rainforest canopy on an adrenaline-pumping high-speed zip-line in a forest near Dennery on the east coast. When we opened our eyes we had a fantastic aerial view of the lush valleys and surging streams and there's wooden platforms along the route if you wish to linger longer. It's definitely the place to live out your Tarzan and Jane fantasies! If that wasn't enough excitement, OK! later enjoyed a morning horse-ride along the hushed shores of Cas en Bas, one of Amy Winehouse's favourite beaches. For those wanting some climbing action there's the challenge of the 2,600ft Gros Piton. The round trip trek takes around four hours but it's worth it as the island views from the summit are unbeatable. That evening as you sip your sundowner cocktail at the Jalousie gazing up at the rugged Piton you'll definitely feel like you've earned it! Also close to the hotel is the world's only drive-in volcano. It hasn't erupted for hundreds of years so it's quite safe! A road leads into the volcanic crater, where pools of pungent muddy water bubbles and shoots forth steam clouds 50ft high. You have to see it to believe it.HOW DO I GT THERE? Virgin Holidays (www.virginholidays.co.uk; 0844 557 3859) offers a seven-night all-inclusive package, including return flights with Virgin Atlantic from London Gatwick, staying at the 4.5-star Jalousie Plantation from £1,529 per person. Price is based on two people sharing.

Mike Trinh has a computer science and software engineering background, works as a policy analyst on emerging technology issues, and is a 2L at Georgetown. He blogs at Lawgorithm in his spare time. -Ed.
One of my friends had this great idea for a broadband beer distribution network. The theory was that you could use the Information Superhighway to deliver beer to you at your computer via the Internet, saving time and reducing the threat of drunk driving. At the height of the Internet boom, an idea, ridiculous as it was, could have managed some venture capital. At this early point of implementation, it consisted of other people making the run to the fridge for a cold brew, as it was simply a joke by yet another fun-loving guy trying to harness the power of the internet to solve the beer run dilemma.
However, the underlying concept of a broadband beer distribution network captures one of the fundamental network design concepts of the Internet Protocol (IP): data abstraction. While beer pushes the envelope of the definition, data abstraction, generally, is a design concept that means that networks are designed to handle all kinds of information, treating them all as functionally equivalent.
Using data abstraction, a computer can send any kind of data, knowing that the underlying data network will be able to handle it. Steve Bellovin captures this advanced concept quite succinctly: anything on [Internet Protocol packets], [Internet Protocol packets] on top of anything. Quite simply, any data can be abstracted into an IP packet, and an IP packet can be layered onto any networking medium (though beer is not quite data as we currently understand it). The current trend towards digital convergence (voice over IP, web over cellular network, etc) is simply the logical conclusion of a migration from single-purpose networks (cable TV, telephone networks) to general purpose networks built on concepts of data abstraction. Technical policy must adapt and change into robust policy frameworks that embrace the flexibility and growth capabilities that Internet Protocol networks achieve through data abstraction.
Data abstraction (and layering) is one of the keys to the growth of the Internet, because IP can work with unpredictable future data formats. The World Wide Web, P2P music sharing systems, and massively multiplayer immersive 3D gaming environments are all simply protocols layered on top of the basic Internet Protocol, which through data abstraction, treats all these radically different protocols as simply bits of data. Each of these prototype communications technologies did not have to overcome the massive entrance cost of building a new networkthey simply could use the existing Internet Protocol.
Similarly, the Internet Protocol itself can be layered on top of any network (e.g., phone, cable modem, mobile phone, satellite). Before the Internet, the architecture of most data networks was oriented to a single use. Cable television networks carried just cable television, and were the only networks that carried cable television. Traditional phone networks carried only traditional phone traffic. But abstraction and IP networks changed that by introducing general purpose data networks. The result of the data abstraction and protocol layering is that new data networks can carry any type of traffic and were far more flexible than traditional specialized networks. Cable TV networks now carry instant messages and e-mail. Cellular networks now support file transfers. Singe-purpose networks are quickly the going the way of an ISDN line or a bag phone: a cute anachronism of limited relevance in a modern communications environment.
Data abstraction is both the technical beauty of the Internet and a fundamental ugliness in communications regulation. Current regulatory schemes and legislation are still rooted in an assumption of single-purpose data networks, and data abstraction challenges the assumptions inherent in these policies. Data abstraction blurs policy distinctions between types of networks and types of traffic. If existing policy is not to become derelict, regulatory assumptions about single-purpose networks must reflect the dynamic capabilities of modern networks.
Regulatory approaches must adopt to recognize that a particular type of data may travel over any number of data networks, instead of assuming that a particular type of data must travel over a specific network. For example, the Cable Communications Privacy Act (CCPA) regulates the dissemination of viewing habits and other TV records by regulating the collection and dissemination of data by cable TV operators only. The CCPA requires that subscribers to cable networks give their written consent before personally identifiable information is collectedbut this requirement only extends to cable TV network operators. This model for legislation assumes that only cable TV operators have access to TV subscriber data, which was a fair assumption in 1984, the year the CCPA was passed. This underlying assumption may not be true. As people begin to watch shows over non-cable networks, such as over satellite networks or the Internet, cable TV viewing habits, data intended for protection under the CCPA, may now leave the confines of regulated actors under the CCPAcircumstances that the CCPA does not anticipate.
As networks evolve from single-purpose designs, telecommunications policy must evolve to deal with these general purpose networks carrying commingled data. Policy choices that made sense for single-use networks must be rethought for a general purpose network, where regulation will reach all data traveling over that network. The pending emergence of Voice over IP (VoIP) technology is a prime example of the problems that converging networking places on traditional regulations. Briefly, VoIP allows a data network, such as a cable TV network, to carry telephone services traditionally traveling only on the traditional phone network. VoIP is an anomaly that does not fit well into the existing regulatory schemes: it is not a network solely used for telephone service like a traditional phone network, but a service that is layered to run over IP and any number of underlying networks that carry other data. Should Voice over IP be subject to the policy and regulations of traditional phone networks (e.g., universal service, access taxes)? The FCC is currently studying issues of VoIP, and will also address difficult issues of law enforcement access to VoIP under CALEA. CALEA, generally, requires telecommunications service providers to meet government promulgated standards for government surveillance capabilities. VoIP systems blur the CALEA statutory distinction between telecommunications service and information service. Thus, extending prior policies in from the telephone network to VoIP present extremely difficult questions that challenge existing policy frameworks.
The digital convergence that data abstraction has enabled will bring with it numerous challenges to existing data regulation. Congress and the FCC will have to examine existing frameworks, designed for single-purpose networks, for their continuing relevance in a world of general purpose networks and data abstraction. What results will shape the path of the Internet, and the technologies that replace it.April 12, 2004 12:00 AM | TrackBack

Flight Systems Electronics Group in Lewisberry, PA, an automotive parts remanufacturer, were using manual glass bead blast cabinets to clean their parts prior to rebuilding. They approached Precision Finishing, their supplier of finishing processes, with the idea of automating the manual blasting.
Flight Systems knew that beyond just being an equipment distributor, Precision maintains a complete job shop that provides experience and working examples of success to help new equipment customers with their decisions.
After the initial consultation, Precision recommended an Empire 6060 RS Batch Processing machine with a continuous with rotary head.
Empire automated batch processing machine
Precision conducted sample processing at the Empire test facility. When the samples were approved, a complete production run-off was conducted at Empire with Precision and Flight Systems personnel present. The addition of this machine allowed the customer to blast all the parts they need with a lot less labor. The machine was approved and sent to Lewisberry for installation. Precision will oversee the installation and startup along with Empire.
Once the entire system is setup and running, Precision Finishing will, as it does with all of its customers, drop in periodically to make sure the system is running properly to the customer's satisfaction. It is this after the sale service and experience that Precision's customers have benefited from by doing business with them.

School of Education, Curriculum & Instruction, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 544B TEB, 225 N. Mills St., Madison, WI 53706, USA
While the knowledge economy has reshaped the world, schools lag behind in producing appropriate learning for this social change. Science education needs to prepare students for a future world in which multiple representations are the norm and adults are required to "think like scientists." Location-based augmented reality games offer an opportunity to create a "post-progressive" pedagogy in which students are not only immersed in authentic scientific inquiry, but also required to perform in adult scientific discourses. This cross-case comparison as a component of a design-based research study investigates three cases (roughly 28 students total) where an Augmented Reality curriculum, Mad City Mystery, was used to support learning in environmental science. We investigate whether augmented reality games on handhelds can be used to engage students in scientific thinking (particularly argumentation), how game structures affect students' thinking, the impact of role playing on learning, and the role of the physical environment in shaping learning. We argue that such games hold potential for engaging students in meaningful scientific argumentation. Through game play, players are required to develop narrative accounts of scientific phenomena, a process that requires them to develop and argue scientific explanations. We argue that specific game features scaffold this thinking process, creating supports for student thinking non-existent in most inquiry-based learning environments.

Last year the US House candidacy of GOP former Stanislaus County Clerk and anti-abortion activist Karen Mathews Davis gained national attention when she claimed to have gotten death threats from anonymous writers who threatened to shoot her and her husband in the head if she didn't withdraw from the race.
While the feds investigated, Davis told the local press that wasn't going to "give in to terrorism" and that "if those people weren't able to stop me from doing the right thing, then Obama and Pelosi don't have a prayer." Today Davis has been charged with lying to the FBI after confessing that she made it all up.
Davis is charged with making false, fictitious or fraudulent statements or representations to federal law enforcement officers during their investigation into the mailing of threatening letters. Davis, 67, was arrested at her Lodi home and then released after posting $50,000 bond Thursday, court documents show. She's scheduled to return to federal court in Sacramento on Nov. 19. She was one of three Republicans who challenged McNerney, D-Stockton, as he sought a fifth term last year. She finished fourth out of four in the June 2014 top-two primary, with only 6 percent of the vote. In February, Davis went to the FBI office in Stockton to be interviewed. She agreed to take a polygraph test but failed it, and then admitted she had written both letters and sent them to herself, Hartman wrote. In a signed statement, Davis wrote that she sent herself the first letter after Lodi police told her she probably wouldn't be granted a permit to carry a concealed handgun.
But wait there's more. In 1998 Davis was sued by a man who ultimately spent 18 years in prison on charges that he attacked her. He continues to maintain his innocence.

Requirements that educators promote "British values"
defined as "tolerance and respect for others", and "prepare children for
life in modern Britain" have caused some contention, with critics
warning that the latter category is being used to penalise schools in rural areas which have been insufficiently 'enriched' with ethnic minority pupils.
a private Jewish school teaching girls up to the age of
eight failed its third inspection for denying pupils "a full
understanding of fundamental British values" by failing to teach about
homosexuality and gender reassignment.
Tens of Christian schools have been downgraded as a
result of the new rules…Education Secretary Nicky Morgan…claimed such
schools deny children "the opportunity to flourish in a modern

Dear Mr. Ronalds,
I write on behalf of the Victorian and Tasmanian branch of Sustainable Population Australia. We are most alarmed by the prospect of the Summary Offences and Sentencing Amendment Bill being passed by the Upper House of State Parliament.
We believe that this harsh legislation is completely unnecessary in a society which is continually being undermined and is struggling to maintain work and environmental standards. This legislation is a further and heavy blow to democracy placing ordinary citizens in a position of increased likelihood of coming up against the force of the law for simply using one of the few weapons left, the right to congregate to demonstrate a point.
This is of importance to our group as we are fighting to stabilise the population and to preserve our environment for future generations. This has involved attending public rallies for environmental causes. Governments need to be made aware of strong public opinion. The right for people to do this is in the interests of our shared future.
Please help to keep our democracy and vote "NO" when this legislation arises in the Upper House.
Jill Quirk, President , Sustainable Population Australia , Victorian and Tasmanian branch

Speeches Against
Below are two speeches by Liberals arguing on behalf of the Bill. We have also published in another article, all the speeches we could find against the bill. Speeches against the Summary Offences and Sentencing Amendment Bill (Victorian Parliament)You should read these to see why this is a problematic bill. Two most powerful points that come across in the speeches below against the impending Act are that the Labor Party was willing to go along with the Act regarding greater powers for arresting people who are intoxicated and dangerous. A related motion to divide the Act into two was unfortunately defeated. The Liberal Party lawmakers were accused of rolling this one reasonable change together with an unreasonable change to the Sentencing Act. The Second powerful point against the impending Act was that it is designed to stop unions from impeding the hiring of scab labour. This seems to be true. Given that Workers' Conditions have been eroded since the Howard Government in conjunction with vast increases in numbers of worker immigrants, this question of scab labour is bound to come up more frequently and desperately in Victoria, as businesses close down, cost of living rises (power, housing, water etc) and employers seek to drive wages down. The Liberal Members response to this last point was to use arcane theoretical examples, such as pretending that those against the Act would be wanting to allow people to stop members of the public from buying chocolates from shopkeepers they did not like. Go here to read the speeches against the Bill and to see who voted for it or against it.
Introduction and first reading
[Parliamentary Source]
Received from Assembly.
Read first time for Hon. E. J. O'DONOHUE (Minister for Liquor and Gaming Regulation) on motion of Hon. G. K. Rich-Phillips; by leave, ordered to be read second time forthwith.
Statement of compatibility
For Hon. E. J. O'DONOHUE (Minister for Liquor and Gaming Regulation), Hon. G. K. Rich-Phillips tabled following statement in accordance with Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006:
In accordance with section 28 of the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006, (the 'charter act'), [Available here as a word doc and as a pdf file] I make this statement of compatibility with respect to the Summary Offences and Sentencing Amendment Bill 2013.
In my opinion, the Summary Offences and Sentencing Amendment Bill 2013, as introduced to the Legislative Council, is compatible with human rights as set out in the charter act. [CDB Editor: The clickable link gives you access to an extract of the actual 'rights'.] I base my opinion on the reasons outlined in this statement.
Overview of bill
The bill amends the Summary Offences Act 1966 by expanding the grounds on which police members and protective services officers (PSOs) may direct a person to move on from a public place, and enabling police members to apply to the Magistrates Court for an exclusion order where they have repeatedly been directed to move on from a public place. The bill also amends the Sentencing Act 1991 by creating a new alcohol-exclusion order that prohibits a person who has been convicted of a relevant offence, in circumstances where the person's intoxication was a significant contributing factor, from entering or consuming liquor in specified licensed premises in Victoria.
Human rights issues
Changes to move-on powers and the related exclusion orders
The bill expands the grounds on which the move-on powers under section 6 of the Summary Offences Act may be used. A person who is directed to move on from a public place by police members or PSOs must leave that public place and is prohibited from returning to it for up to 24 hours. The related exclusion orders also prohibit a person from entering a particular public place but for up to 12 months.
The amendments impose a limitation on an individual's right to move freely within Victoria as set out in section 12 of the charter act and may, in certain circumstances, limit the rights to freedom of expression (section 15),
["15. Freedom of expression
(1) Every person has the right to hold an opinion
without interference.
(2) Every person has the right to freedom of
expression which includes the freedom to seek,
receive and impart information and ideas of all
kinds, whether within or outside Victoria and
(a) orally; or
(b) in writing; or
(c) in print; or
(d) by way of art; or
(e) in another medium chosen by him or her.
(3) Special duties and responsibilities are attached to
the right of freedom of expression and the right
may be subject to lawful restrictions reasonably
(a) to respect the rights and reputation of other
persons; or
(b) for the protection of national security, public
order, public health or public morality."
and peaceful assembly and freedom of association (section 16).
["16. Peaceful assembly and freedom of association
(1) Every person has the right of peaceful assembly.
(2) Every person has the right to freedom of
association with others, including the right to form
and join trade unions."
However, for the reasons that follow these limitations are consistent with explicit or implicit internal limits on the rights or are reasonable and justified under section 7(2) of the charter act.
["7. Human rights—what they are and when they may
be limited
(1) This Part sets out the human rights that Parliament
specifically seeks to protect and promote.
(2) A human right may be subject under law only to
such reasonable limits as can be demonstrably
justified in a free and democratic society based on
human dignity, equality and freedom, and taking
into account all relevant factors including—
(a) the nature of the right; and
(b) the importance of the purpose of the
limitation; and
(c) the nature and extent of the limitation; and
(d) the relationship between the limitation and
its purpose; and
(e) any less restrictive means reasonably
available to achieve the purpose that the
limitation seeks to achieve.
(3) Nothing in this Charter gives a person, entity or
public authority a right to limit (to a greater extent
than is provided for in this Charter) or destroy the
human rights of any person."]
All of these charter act rights can be subject to restrictions, including to protect public order, public safety and the rights and freedoms of others. Section 15 contains an explicit internal limitation to this effect (section 15(3)), but the other sections may be implicitly limited in the same way (in accordance with the reasoning in Magee v. Delaney [2013] VSC 407). In the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, from which each of these charter act rights is derived, there are express internal limitations for each of the rights in relation to measures that are necessary to protect public order, public health or morals, or the rights and freedoms of others (see article 12(3) on freedom of movement, article 19(3) on freedom of expression, article 21 on peaceful assembly and article 22 on freedom of association). Although these internal limitations do not appear in the relevant charter act rights, the internal limitations in the international covenant illustrate matters that may be considered to justify limitations on those rights in accordance with section 7(2).
The new grounds for the use of move-on powers are aimed at protecting public safety and order and the rights and freedoms of others. The grounds ensure there is an appropriate balance between the right to freedom of movement, freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and freedom of association of one individual and the protection of the rights of others, including the rights of others to freedom of movement, privacy, property rights and security. These are important objectives that are sufficient to justify the bill's careful and safeguarded provisions and any limitations those provisions may impose on these charter act rights.
The bill includes a range of safeguards that minimise effects on the relevant charter act rights and ensure any limitation is reasonable. A police member or PSO may tailor a move-on direction as required. For example, a direction can be given in respect of an entire public place, or just part of that place.
The duration of the direction cannot exceed 24 hours and need not be for the full 24 hours.
The making of an exclusion order by a court is discretionary and the court must be satisfied that an order would be a reasonable means of preventing that person from continuing to behave in a manner that would be the basis for another move-on direction. The court can tailor the scope of the order. For example, it may determine the nature and extent of the public place that the order applies to, and the duration of the order. Similarly, new section 6E(5) of the Summary Offences Act enables the court to allow a person to enter a place to which the exclusion order applies for specified purposes
Page 477
where it is appropriate. Exclusion orders may also be varied upon application where the court is satisfied it is appropriate.
There are also specific safeguards around the enforcement of move-on directions and the related exclusion orders. For example, a person does not commit the offence of contravening a move-on direction where he or she has a reasonable excuse for doing so. A similar exclusion applies to the offence of contravening an exclusion order.
Section 6(5) of the Summary Offences Act excludes the use of move-on powers based on the grounds set out in section 6(1)(a) and new section 6(1)(f) in relation to a person who is picketing a place of employment, demonstrating, protesting or publicising his or her view about a particular issue. That exception will no longer apply to the grounds in sections 6(1)(b) and (c) nor to the remaining four new grounds.
Those grounds are more closely related to unlawful conduct and a move-on power on those grounds should not be excluded simply because a person is engaged in picketing, protest or publicising a view. The application of these grounds in such circumstances will assist police in protecting the rights of others and maintaining public safety and order.
Power to require name and address
The bill creates a new power enabling police members and PSOs to require a person being directed to move on to provide their name and address. The right to privacy set out in section 13 of the charter act is relevant to this power. However, in my view this provision is compatible with the right to privacy as it is lawful and not arbitrary. Police will only be able to utilise this power where they intend to direct a person to move on.
This new power will enable police to keep track of when a person has been repeatedly moved on for the purposes of applying for a related exclusion order. It will also assist police in determining whether a person contravenes a move-on direction. The use and disclosure of that information would be subject to the usual protections under the Information Privacy Act 2000.
Arrest power
The bill inserts a new power into the Summary Offences Act, which provides that a police member or a PSO may, without warrant, arrest a person if the officer suspects on reasonable grounds that the person is or has committed an offence against section 6(4) of the Summary Offences Act (contravention of a move-on direction). In my view these provisions are compatible with the right to liberty as the grounds for arrest are clear and appropriate, and cannot be regarded as arbitrary.
Section 6(4) also provides safeguards that minimise interference with liberty by expressly limiting the reasons for which a person may be detained in custody.
Alcohol-exclusion orders
Alcohol-exclusion orders prohibit a person from entering into a range of licensed premises including nightclubs, bars, restaurants, reception centres and major events. These orders limit the right to freedom of movement and are relevant to the right to peaceful assembly and freedom of association.
Alcohol-exclusion orders are aimed at protecting public order and the rights and freedoms of others, including the right to life and the right to liberty and security of a person.
The orders may only be made after a person has been convicted by a court of a relevant offence and the court is satisfied that the offender's intoxication significantly contributed to the commission of the offence.
There is a clear and rational connection between the limitation on the right to freedom of movement and the purpose of the order. Before making an order, a court must be satisfied that the person was intoxicated at the time of the offending. Further, that intoxication must have significantly contributed to the offending. Thus, any person subject to an order has demonstrated through their offending that they are a risk to public safety when intoxicated. The alcohol-exclusion order will reduce that risk by ensuring the person cannot enter or consume liquor in many places where they could otherwise become intoxicated in public.
The effect of an alcohol-exclusion order reflects the significant contribution of alcohol to that offending. Applying the order to a narrower range of licensed venues could channel those subject to the order towards those licensed venues not covered by the order and thus place the public at those venues at risk. The strong, mandatory scheme provided for in this bill is also intended to provide a clear and powerful deterrent against others committing relevant offences. The deterrence of a discretionary scheme would be undermined by cases where an order is not made.
As with the move-on-related exclusion orders, there are safeguards to ensure alcohol-exclusion orders do not inappropriately limit other rights. Courts may create conditions where appropriate allowing a person to enter licensed premises for specified purposes. Such purposes might include employment, reaching accommodation, or attending particular events where appropriate.
Section 89DG allows a person subject to the order to apply for its variation throughout the duration of the order. Given this capacity to adjust alcohol-exclusion orders appropriately if justified by a person's individual circumstances, I do not consider that they create an unreasonable limitation on the right to freedom of movement when balanced with the important objectives of the orders, including public safety and protecting the rights of others.
Offences for contravening exclusion orders
New sections 6G of the Summary Offences Act and 89DF(1) and (2) of the Sentencing Act make it an offence to contravene a move-on-related exclusion order or an alcohol-exclusion order.
Sections 6G(3) and 89DF(4) have the effect of placing an evidential onus on the accused where the prosecution adduces proof that the accused was present in court when the order was made, or proof of service of the order on the person. The right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law is relevant to these provisions. However, the right is not limited. Where the accused points to evidence that puts knowledge of the order at issue, the prosecution will still have a legal onus to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused knew or was reckless as to whether the order was in place.

Second reading
[Parliamentary Source]
Ordered that second-reading speech be incorporated into Hansard on motion of Hon. G. K. RICH-PHILLIPS (Assistant Treasurer).
Page 478
Hon. G. K. RICH-PHILLIPS (Assistant Treasurer) -- I move:
That the bill be now read a second time.
Incorporated speech as follows:
This bill makes important changes to the law to better protect the community from lawless behaviour on our streets and to deter and prevent alcohol-fuelled violence.
First, the bill amends the Summary Offences Act to give police clearer and more effective move-on powers and to create longer lasting exclusion orders.
Secondly, the bill delivers the government's election commitment to ban those convicted of alcohol-fuelled violence from licensed premises for two years.
Clearer and more effective move-on powers
Move-on powers provide police and PSOs with a useful tool for safeguarding the peaceful enjoyment of public spaces by all, as well as defusing situations that threaten public order and safety. Police and PSOs are currently able to direct people to move on from public places for a range of reasons. These include where they reasonably suspect that a person is breaching or is likely to breach the peace, or is endangering or is likely to endanger the safety of another.
The bill provides further grounds on which these powers may be used. Police and PSOs will be able to direct a person to move on from a public place if they suspect on reasonable grounds that a person:
has committed an offence in the place;
is causing a reasonable apprehension of violence to another person;
is causing, or is likely to cause, an unreasonable obstruction to others;
is present for the purpose of procuring or supplying drugs; or
is impeding, or attempting to impede, another person from lawfully entering or leaving premises or part of premises.
These new grounds will provide greater certainty for police members and PSOs as to when they may exercise move-on powers, and expand the range of circumstances in which such directions may be given.
Move-on powers may be applied in relation to one person or many.
The bill clarifies that police and PSOs may give one direction to an entire group rather than having individually to direct each person in the group to move on.
The bill continues to protect legitimate rights to lawful protest or demonstration, but it makes clear that if protesters go beyond legitimate expression of views and instead resort to threats of violence or seek to impede the rights of others to lawfully enter or leave premises, police will have the power to order those protesters to move on.
To this end, the bill provides that move-on powers may be used in respect of people engaged in picket lines, protests and other demonstrations. However, the existing ground relating to breach of peace and the new unreasonable obstruction ground will not apply in those situations.
These grounds are excluded because of the scope for dispute about their application in the context of demonstrations. Police will instead be able to rely on the impeding access ground and other grounds to deal with protesters who blockade or otherwise impede access to or from premises or who resort to threats of violence or to illegal conduct.
The bill will also improve the enforcement of move-on directions. For example, the bill expressly provides that police and PSOs may arrest a person who contravenes a move-on direction. The bill also assists the detection of such contraventions by providing that police may require a person being directed to move on to provide their name and address. Currently, police are unable to do this in many cases, making it difficult to detect contraventions of the move-on directions where the person returns a few hours later. This change will also enable police to keep a record of people who are repeatedly moved on.
Move-on-related exclusion orders
Move-on powers can keep a person away from a public place for up to 24 hours, but no more. Consequently, a person may return to the place and engage in the same conduct the very next day. This can be a particular issue where police know that people are returning to a certain area repeatedly, such as for the purpose of buying or selling drugs.
The bill addresses these situations by enabling police to apply to the Magistrates Court for an exclusion order against an individual.
The making of an exclusion order will be discretionary, and the court may only make an order if it is satisfied that:
a person has been repeatedly directed to move on from the same public place or part of a public place; and
an exclusion order would be a reasonable means of preventing that person from continuing to behave in a manner that would be the basis for another move-on direction.
If a court decides to make an exclusion order, it can specify a duration of up to 12 months. During that time a person will be prohibited from entering the public place specified in the order. However, the bill does allow the court to create conditions allowing a person to enter the place if there is a good reason for doing so and the court considers it appropriate in all the circumstances.
Once an exclusion order is in place, it will be an offence to contravene that order. The offence will carry a maximum penalty of two years imprisonment.
These exclusion orders will give police a new tool for addressing low-level street drug dealing and for breaking up gangs that gather in public places to threaten people or engage in criminal behaviour.
Alcohol-exclusion orders
The government made an election commitment to ban those found guilty of committing a violent offence while under the influence of alcohol from licensed premises for two years.
Page 479
This bill makes amendments to the Sentencing Act 1991 to give effect to that commitment.
A high proportion of violent behaviour is caused by people who have had too much to drink. These measures will better protect the public from the recurrence of such behaviour and create a strong deterrent to the offender and to others.
Under the requirements, a court must make an alcohol-exclusion order where it is satisfied that:
a person has been convicted of a relevant offence;
the person was intoxicated at the time of the assault; and
the person's intoxication significantly contributed to the commission of the offence.
These orders will apply to most indictable offences against the person, ranging from homicides to intentionally causing injury, as well as to sexual assaults such as rape or indecent assault, and to offences such as threats to kill and assaulting police.
Alcohol-exclusion orders will prohibit the offender from entering specified licensed premises or consuming liquor in any licensed premises anywhere in Victoria for a period of two years. Where an offender goes to jail for their offence, the exclusion will apply from the time they are released from jail. Where an offender is sentenced to a community correction order of longer than two years, the court will be able to impose alcohol treatment conditions that will continue to operate after expiry of the alcohol-exclusion order.
The licensed premises from which persons are excluded are the same as those covered by alcohol-exclusion conditions made under a community correction order pursuant to section 48J of the Sentencing Act 1991. These include nightclubs and bars -- including pubs -- as well as licensed restaurants and cafes. Bar areas of other licensed premises will also be covered, including hotel bars and bars at sporting grounds and clubs. A person is also prohibited from entering major events covered by a relevant liquor license, such as the formula one grand prix.
Provision is made for the court on application to vary the exclusion conditions in circumstances where that is justified, such as where a person lives above licensed premises or works at licensed premises. A court may also allow a person to enter licensed premises for a specified purpose if there is a good reason and the court considers it appropriate. However, the courts cannot allow a person to drink on those premises.
Contravention of an alcohol-exclusion order will be an offence, carrying a maximum penalty of two years imprisonment.
Alcohol-exclusion orders will send a clear message that drunken, violent behaviour will not be tolerated in Victoria and that those who engage in it will face significant consequences for their personal and social life, in addition to whatever other sentence they receive.
I commend the bill to the house.
Debate adjourned on motion of Ms MIKAKOS (Northern Metropolitan).


text:
Here are research topics for Master- and Diplomatheses. In principle, all topics covered in lectures or seminars of the chair can be elaborated on in theses.
More specifically, here are some suggestions.
The redistribution of GDP
Total output of an economy is divided among its inhabitants through a variety of mechanisms. They include redistribution via the state (pension, social security payments, public education) and redistribution via the market, i.e. via factor rewards for factors of production, typically labour and capital. While this is theoretically easy to understand, understanding the actual numbers is more involved. Who receives which share of total output (i.e. GDP) of a country in Germany (or any other country of interest)? While a classic share has been widely documented, the share of labour income in GDP, computing this share is very interesting. What is the role of inflation and how is inflation computed or which price index should be used are just three of the questions involved. Once the share of GDP going to labour is understood, the next question would be how total labour income can be split into hours worked and factor rewards per hour. Having done this would bridge the gap between the well-known stagnant real-wage index (e.g. for Germany) and the increase in GDP. Does total labour income increase only because people work more and more at constant real wages? Or do workers also profit from the increase in total factor productivity via rising wages. These are some of the questions a master thesis can answer.
Why is Germany the Export World Champion?
Germany is known for its trade balance surplus. Almost ever since there is reliable data and for most years, Germany's value of exports exceeds the value of imports. When relating the export surplus to GDP, Germany has the highest export ratio among G7 but also among European countries in most of the recent years. This makes Germany a world champion in exporting.
Why does Germany export so much? Economic theory provides many potential answers to this question. Which of these answers are relevant for Germany and which are the most important channels quantitatively speaking? The thesis will start by describing the phenomenon of export surpluses empirically and by comparing surpluses among G7 and European countries. The main objective consists in quantifying the importance of the various channels in order to understand the reasons why Germany exports so much. If time and space permits, the thesis could also study whether any policy implications can be drawn from these findings.
Principal-Agent models and the effort-reward-imbalance view
There is overwhelming empirical evidence from organizational and work psychology that the structure of work relationships and the role of the superior is crucial for well-being of workers. The appropriate theoretical framework to understand this would be the principal-agent model well-known in microeconomics. Students who like to bridge gaps are welcome to look at both of these prominent literatures and to see how findings in one can inform theory building in the other and how theory building can help understand empirical regularities better.
Why do women earn less than men? Facts, theories and explanations
It is a well-known stylized fact that women earn less than men. How strong this effect is depends on the exact econometric model under consideration. There are two leading theories that can help understand the gender-gap: preference-driven discrimination and statistical discrimination. This thesis looks at how well theories and empirical regularities fit and whether some deeper answers than gender gap can be given.
Unemployment in developing countries
The literature on employment and unemployment for high-income countries is relatively well developed. Search and matching models in the tradition of Diamond, Mortensen and Pissarides provide excellent theoretical frameworks to study data and understand the effects of business cycles, policy and other on the dynamics of unemployment. But what about low- and medium-income countries? If the big difference between the two groups consists in the existence or in the size of an informal sector, then one would like to understand not only how the unemployment rate evolves over time, but also, inter alia, what the determinants of the size of the informal sector is.
The objective of the Master thesis consists in finding out what these determinants are. A literature survey on theoretical and empirical work would be the starting point. Relevant references include Albrecht, Navarro and Vroman (2009), Ulyssea (2010), Meghir, Narita and Robin (2015) and Satchi and Temple (2009). Later, the thesis can continue by further developing theoretical models or undertaking independent empirical work.
Media Violence and Real World Violence
There is evidence that exposure to violence in media (TV, movies, video games) is strongly linked to increases in aggression (Bushman and Anderson, 2001, 2002). At the same time, these facts have been debated (Anderson and Bushman, 2002) and the evidence is contested (Block and Crain, 2007). See also the reply by Bushman and Anderson (2007). This evidence is mainly based on data from the USA.
The objective of this Master thesis is to revisit the existing facts and to provide an overview of comparable data and studies for Europe and Germany. A distinction between public ("öffentlich-rechtlich") and private media would be of high interest.
Behavioural macro
Behavioural macro is not yet as fully developed as one might wish. While there are many behavioural economics analyses, very few of them are embedded in a macro setup. The objective of theses in this area would consist in looking at behavioural models presented in various seminars and lectures (think of Macro II or Advanced Macro) and understand the effects of these broader views of human behaviour on economic growth, business cycles, unemployment or other. To make an example, how do cues or addiction influence savings behaviour and thereby growth or the reaction to business cycle shocks? Other topics that are related to psychology or behavioural economics and that can fruitfully be used for macro analyses are also welcome.
Crime prevention
Economic theory of crime suggests that the decision to become criminal is a standard rational choice. Potential criminals compare expected utility from a criminal act to expected utility from not committing it. Depending on which value is higher, a criminal act will be observed or not. Now imagine society observes that there are "too many" criminal acts. (Or world society observes that there is too much aggression.) What is the optimal reaction? Increase punishment, increase the likelihood of being caught or improve outside options of criminals? As an example of the latter, imagine criminal behaviour depends on income inequality. To what extent should society (or its government) try to reduce income inequality and to what extent should punishment be increased? Going further and taking psychological determinants of a "criminal career" into account, how would optimal crime prevention programmes look like?
Emotional Economics
More background on this topic is provided at www.waelde.com/cee or here, especially when looking at the pdf-file with the topics. There is also a survey on emotion research in economics.
Intercultural differences
The background for this work is the survey available at www.worldvaluessurvey.org/. Students should like working with large datasets and should be interested in understanding why individuals that grew up in a continental European country are different from individuals that grew up in an anglo-saxon country. Regression analysis should be used to investigate the explanatory power of these differences. Some more general background is provided by Alberto Alesina and Paola Giuliano (2015) Culture and Institutions, Journal of Economic Literature, Vol. 53, Issue 4.
Labour market research
This work would be based on analyses undertaken by Andrey Launov, Klaus Wälde and others. See www.waelde.com -> publications for details. A strong interest (not necessarily experience) in theory, estimation and programming (in matlab) is an advantage. Access to a "fast" server will be provided by σοφια.
Emotions and happiness in marriage
Happiness is an important emotion. Being happy about one's relationship could be argued to be the most precious gift one can receive in life. It therefore seems sad that some argue (e.g. Laningham, Johnson and Amato, 2001) that happiness about one's marriage gradually falls over time. For romantic or not so romantic students interested in marriage and happiness from an empirical perspective, it might be of interest to know that the dataset for this paper is public and that there is a new wave available since this article appeared. The objective of this thesis would consist in (re-)evaluating the evidence concerning the existence of a negative duration effect.
Bargaining theory
Bilateral discussions and negotiations take place daily if not hourly in everyone's life. How does the economic literature on bargaining model these negotiations? An overview of cooperative and non-cooperative approaches to bargaining should be given before extensions are taken into account. This is a topic suitable for an individual that likes models and modelbuilding. More details on potential extensions will be provided to interested students in person.
Financial and real wealth
Whenever central banks publish numbers on financial wealth for a given country, they can be sure to receive a lot of public attention. "Financial wealth as high as never before" is one of the standard headings in newspapers. But what does financial wealth mean? Where does it come from? National accounting and standard economic reasoning would suggest that any increase in financial wealth (of one economic entity) goes hand in hand with an increase in debt (of another economic entity). If we then look at a country like Germany, Japan or Brasil (or any other country you might be interested in), what do these numbers of rising financial wealth mean? The thesis will start out by describing these numbers and continues by developing a theoretical model which allows studying the determinants of the evolution of financial wealth. It would conclude with a welfare analysis to come up with answers to the above questions.
The unemployment paradox
Recent research in economics (Launov and Wälde, 2013 and especially 2015 has identified the so-called 'unemployment paradox'. It says that a rise in productivity of the public employment agency in helping unemployed workers find a job can actually increase the unemployment rate. This effect is not only a theoretical finding but was shown to be empirically relevant for Germany following the Hartz III reform.
The objective of this master thesis would consist in identifying and presenting the essential mechanism behind this paradox in the simplest possible theoretical framework. The latter would focus on one individual only and the measure of unemployment would be replaced by average duration in unemployment. Bayesian learning would also be absent. Knowledge of matlab or willingness to learn matlab would be essential. Guidance is provided and a huge learning potential for the student is certain.

We're proud to have hosted our 5th annual Felices Fiestas–a meal & toy giveaway for 1,500 Angelenos– along with community champion Assemblymember Miguel Santiago. Our Westlake-MacArthurPark campus was transformed into a winter carnival to provide vital resources otherwise fiscally impossible for some families during the holiday season. To us, Felices Fiestas equals family and we're so thankful to our partners: Better 4 You Meals, LA Kings, Ford Fund, Webcor Builders, Mayesh Wholesale Florist, The Fountain palace and SoapSox for helping make wishes come true.
Thank you to all PLN staff, especially our Student and Community Services staff for their leadership with this annual event. A special thank you to the 100+ volunteers for their time and dedication to our mission. Felices Fiestas would not be possible without your support.
Happy Holidays!

The news of the fall of Comrade Jacob Gedleyihlekisa Zuma, ex-President of the Republic of South Africa, is no longer news.
It was high on drama and suspense, then there was the denouement, the climax, after which a new man, Cyril Ramaphosa, took charge.
South Africans thronged the streets in ecstatic celebration of the exit of the man who had held them by the balls while he was having a ball at their expense.
He had to go, and go he did. Triumph of people's power. Supremacy of party over one man's whims and caprices. A lesson indeed for other African countries, especially Nigeria, where parties exist only in name but with little or no firepower; and where there's bark, no bite. And, for many of the mushroom political parties around, they exists only in the living rooms and briefcases of the founders.
But with the oldest-surviving party in Africa, the African National Congress (ANC), it was a different ball game. Twice, they have forced their erring leaders and presidents to bite the dust. Thabo Mbeki fell when he started to misbehave, while Zuma was shown the door marked 'exit' when he became stubborn and powerdrunk, and, as it soon became obvious, began to fiddle with the collective till.
That Zuma fell was not much unexpected, given the avalanche of controversies that mired his nine years turbulent rule, from sex issues to graft matters.
Many observers of South African politics would agree that it was not always if, but when, he would go. Last week ended that jigsaw. The wily political warhorse of course gave a good fight to cling onto his job.
By his exit, Zuma joined the inglorious list of leaders who fell from grace to disgrace, finding company with the likes of Yahya Jammeh of the Gambia, Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire, Samuel Doe of Liberia and Laurent Gbagbo of Cote d'Ivoire, among others.
But, the questions many are asking are: Would Zuma have resigned, if he were a Nigerian? Would he have been asked to quit by his party, no matter the pressures by Nigerians?
The answer is obvious. No. Never. Nigerian leaders don't resign. Nigerian politicians have no such word in their dictionary. They fight till the last drop of their blood. Even in a few cases when they are forced, they go with a bang: screaming, cursing and kicking!
So, you can understand the reason many Nigerians have been expressing their shock over Zuma's quiet surrender after it became obvious he had lost his plum position.
Now, here is what Zuma would have done, if he were a Nigerian. First, being from the majority Zulu ethnic nationality, it would have been near impossible to pass a 'no confidence' vote in him. The move would have been frustrated by his people, who would claim that their son and brother was being targeted by his detractors, and preventing them from enjoying their mandate.
If Zuma were a Nigerian, he would have rented a huge crowd and mobilised them to the presidential palace, clutching placards, chanting songs and denouncing his opponents. He would have stormed the party headquarters with stern-looking men and beaten the party officials who dared suggest that he either resigned or be sacked.
If Zuma were a Nigerian, he would have deployed a hefty financial war chest to bribe party officials to drop whatever charges they had against him and let him continue in office, to finish his tenure before the 2019 general election.
If Zuma were a Nigerian, ethnicity, tribalism and religious sentiments would have long been brought in, to frustrate the move against him. There would have been attempts to obsfucate the whole issue as a witchhunt and persecution. Not the corruption charges as alleged!
If Zuma were a Nigerian, some 'smart' lawyers would have jammed the courts with all kinds of motions, expartes interlocutary and what have you, challenging the ANC and seeking to halt the whole process. The lawyers would have found a way to prevail on the courts through a friendly judge to deliver either a Jankara or midnight judgment!
If Zuma were a Nigerian, he would never have quit office, a powerful office of a whole President of a country. For where?
But, by the forced exit of Zuma, South Africans have done the continent proud. They have demonstrated political sophistication, which we should not be ashamed to learn from.
Issues and principles should never be sacrificed on the altar of sentiments. We should never play politics with leadership and governance issues. Poverty knows neither ethnicity nor religion.
South Africa shamed us by what happened in the Zuma saga. Yes, he was forced to resign. But how many people were in the streets to demonstrate in his support? Are there no hungry people in that country who could have been hired to cause trouble when the game was over? Are there no lawyers and judges in South Africa?
The political parties in Nigeria also have a big lesson to learn from what happened in South Africa: Integrity of the party must be kept sacrosanct. Party must rise above the mess of patronage to defend the rights of the people to have decent leadership that caters for the welfare of the generality. They must beat erring leaders into line. We saw that happen in the second republic. The Unity Party of Nigeria, under Chief Obafemi Awolowo, maintained an iron grip on the governors of the then progressive states in terms of adherence to party manifesto. We saw the transformation that it triggered in the UPN states. There was also strong leadership in the National Party of Nigeria. They called erring or under-performing governors to order.
But not anymore. Sadly, the party system in Nigeria is weak and toothless. If we will get our democracy right, the first place to start is for parties to forge ideological movements and fuse to propagate their vision. What we have now are more like SPVs, to run for elections with a view to getting into office. That is the real tragedy of the Nigerian situation.

Just a year after it was launched, Microsoft's Surface Pro financing program has come to an end. 微软说 (通过 OnMsft) that it stopped accepting new users on Friday, but says that existing users will be able to finish out their plans or or upgrade their devices.
microsoft introduced the program a year ago, which allowed customers to spread the cost of a new Surface Pro over two years with a payment plan called Klarna Financing. It would also allow them to upgrade to a new device after 18 months, provided that the customers returned their devices in good condition.
In its FAQ, Microsoft says that it's phasing out the program after "much thought and consideration." It says that the existing Klarna plans will be honored, and those customers who are "in good standing with 18 monthly payments" will still be able to upgrade their device. 根据 瘾, Microsoft will also shut down its Surface Plus Portal on September 30th, and costumers with questions regarding the Klarna program will have to contact the company directly.

Watch the trailer for the explosive new remake of The Magnificent Seven
Denzel Washington, Ethan Hawke and Chris Pratt team up for a hip new take on the classic western
DENZEL Washington, Ethan Hawke and Chris Pratt have teamed up for a remake of the classic western The Magnificent Seven - and the trailer looks fantastic.
The remake of John Sturges' 1960 classic is directed by Antoine Fuqua, best known for his ultra-gritty cop drama Training Day, which also starred Washington and Hawke as two LA cops.
Training Day is considered a modern classic here at Popcorn, and Fuqua's take on the classic revenge western looks every bit as much fun.
In the new movie Washington takes on the role of Chisolm, a bounty hunter hired to avenge the murder of Emma Cullen (Hayley Bennet's) late husband by the brutal industrialist Bartholomew Brogue (Peter Sarsgaard).
Washington then assembles his Magnificent Seven of various gamblers, killers and desperadoes with Pratt, Hawke, Vincent D'Onofrio, Byung-Hun Lee, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo and Maertin Sensmeier signing up to take on Sarsgaard's army of vicious gun-slingers.
It's a tough, modern take on the iconic original when Yul Brynner built an all-star team comprised of Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, James Coburn, Horst Buchholz, Robert Vaughan, and Brad Dexter.
Well, all-star plus Dexter and Buchholz.
Then, they were protecting a small mexican village against a gang of marauding bandits led by their leader Eli Wallach.
That became a bona fide classic and, if the trailer's anything to go by, this will be every bit as much fun.
There are even reports that Vinnie Jones crops up as a villain, though we can't spot him in the trailer.
Expect it in cinemas this September.
