So, here we go:
After my Introduction, Crisis Committes 101, I would now like to go into the depth of some of the more intricate inner workings of crisis simulations at MUNs.
JCCs - Complex simulations with MANY pitfalls to avoid
All crisis enthusiasts will agree that Joint Committee Crisis Simulations (JCCs) are the crown jewel of crisis simulations. This basically means that you create ONE crisis with two or many more different committees/nations/companies/ngos involved. The delegates do not represent individual nations but ministers, board members. Each with a different portfolio of subordinates, possibilities and authority. The Director of the CIA would be a good example.
When you create a big crisis with multiple committees involved, including different lines of allegiance and hostility, you really have to know what you do. If you do not, delegates will become upset fast. And if you really mess up, people will start to question why they are even there in the first place. I have been in such a situation recently. I was the Minister of Interior in a within a country that never got involved in the crisis designed by the directorate.
Further: MUN and JCCs have only very little in common. While delegating experience and especially crisis delegate experience is a major boon, chairing experience usually helps a little. More often than not, expertise on certain governmental branches and acting experience is a much greater help.
What to do
As MUN Crisis evolved throughout the last years, it has basically now been established, that the best structure for a JCC is to divide each committee involved in a crisis into a frontroom (the actual committee, be it a nation, a company, the Security Council, whatever) and the backroom i.e. the poor guys who handle the action orders issued by the respective committees members and coordinate with the other backrooms, the ghost cabinet (representing all third parties not actively represented in the simulation) and the directorate (the people who hopefully know what they are doing).
The Frontroom is a nation, a company, an NGO or anything else you can imagine. I will use a National Security Council for reference. The most crucial positions within a crisis are: Defense, Foreign Affairs and Intelligence. They can be supplemented by Ministries of Interior, Attorney Generals, Propaganda Ministries, anything that helps events evolve and is important to the story. Just do not add positions that are not necessary. For example: A Minister of Finance will be bored to death in most military conflicts. So either do not add such a position - or include financial issues and problems in the crisis. China dump-selling its Dollar Reserves? Trouble.
Also, the president or head of state of a crisis committee should be picked either from your experienced staff or an experienced crisis delegate. Dynamics are very very different within a JCC and usual rules of procedure do not apply, so chairing-experience is not necessarily the biggest boon. If you have someone who is a "West Wing" or "House of Cards" enthusiast, they might make better Committee Presidents than regular MUN chairs.
I won't lie about it: Picking good JCC Chairs is more alchemy than science. You can have the most experienced chair and still see them fail when they suddenly start feeling all powerful. I once witnessed a very experienced chair ruin the crisis for her entire committee on day one, when she randomly and without need decided to try and assassinate a key person during the crisis. An experienced military leader. Surrounded by thousands of loyal troops. Obviously, the attempt failed.
The key to being a good JCC chair is being the president without acting like one. People who suddenly feel a power surge and start doing crazy things, just because they can, because they are the president are the wrong people. A good president in a JCC committee makes sure that all voices are heard and tries to form a consensus or at least a majority among the delegates before making a decision. They need to be able to hold their ego at bay and even while they are the ones who ultimately make the decision, it is the delegates who actually bring the crisis to life. If you created a good crisis, they will be into it so much that they might not talk about anything else during those days. If you didn't they will start messing with each other and try to raise hell simply out of pure boredom. The latter is a situation you want to avoid. Because even if it will save the crisis experience for most of the delegates ultimately, essentially you will only have created a situation you can no longer control, except by brute force - which is a bad choice.
A good option therefore, is to coach your chairs well before the conference starts. Even if you do not tell them what the crisis is about, which is perfectly fine. But they should know how to handle their committee. Most crisis committees will include very experienced, very capable delegates who know their job and the scope of their authority. They might try to exceed it, of course, anyways. But handling experienced people is tough, they come with high expectations. So make sure you get everyone involved in your crisis. Give them things to do, situations to adjust to and events to react on. I cannot stress this enough.
Also, give your chairs a good set of ground rules. Like for example not to plot against their own people (plotting against other committees is fair game, of course ;) ).
Remind them to act calm and rational, like real world presidents would. No one in the world declares war on a whim. The people who are in such places in the real world know the responsibility that weighs on them and act accordingly (well, most of them), so your chairs should reflect that in their behavior.
The Backroom, usually headed by a Committee Director (as the MUN-World is so caught up in giving everything a fancy title), processes the actions, communication and press releases Sitting in the backroom is easily the less prestigious and most stressful job within a JCC. It can also be one of the most fun ones. But in order to make sure that it actually is fun and not a stressful and tiresome experience, you have to take care of your backroom people. Backroom people should always have access to cookies and sodas. It helps, trust me. And they need it.
Ideally, the backroom should consist of at least three, better four people per committee. Keep one person in the committee room at all time so that you know what is going on there.
Also, make sure that the Backroom is extensively prepared in terms of the offices and background of the committee they manage. If delegates start knowing much more about the country or their respective office than the backroom does, there will be trouble. You cannot avoid that delegates might know more. Crisis delegates usually prepare rather well. But if the backroom for example does not know that it's country has a militia in addition to the police and military, it will create chaos. So make sure they are as best prepared as possible.
Another important thing you need to make everyone aware of is realism. And that starts in the directorate.
Directing a JCC means a lot of coordination and planning. There are many things you should keep in mind and even more things to prepare beforehand.Time - First, thing is to decide on how fast time will move. Will all decisions be in real time or will one day in real life be 2, 3, 5 or more days? Remember, for example, that fleet movements take days, even weeks.
Team - You do not need more than one deputy. Too many opinions (or egos) will only complicate things unnecessarily. Plan the general outline together, check the facts as best as you can, then go into the more broader staff to check for ideas and potential turns that you haven't foreseen. Then divide up the work among your staff.
Knowledge - It is the directorates job not only to be informed as well as possible concerning all relevant assets, including military forces, intelligence agencies, resources or even potential international legal issues. You need to know how fast drones, spy satellites, aircraft carriers move and what they are capable of. Your delegates will know that stuff. So you better do, too.
Flexibility and avoidance of stupidity - The worst thing you can do is make up stupid stuff. Sure, you might think that Nigeria's Government allying with Boko Haram is a witty idea. But if your delegates in the Nigerian Committee disagree, you have just alienated the entire cabinet. Allow them to make their own decisions, even if it is not in total alignment with your plan. Be flexible, think on your feet and come up with a new thing. No plan survives contact with reality. But if you prepare multiple options and outcomes, you might be able to be ahead as best as you can. Never stick to a bad idea.
A final rule is: Better make something up that is deliberately misleading than to tell people nothing or that they can't do something. They command professional agencies and ministries. If you tell for example a director of an intelligence agency that they cannot find out where their own people are or other simple tasks, it will make you look stupid. If they tap communications or place bugging devices in rooms, let them. But also be prepared to feed them with lots of funny or useless info, if they keep asking. They are entitled to receive something, but not necessarily correct or useful information.
Ghost CabinetDirecting a JCC
The Ghost Cabinet is basically a placeholder for all nations or global players not included in the simulation. They can be called on if someone suddenly needs a representative from a third-party nation, both written and acted out. They should be experienced speakers and you should keep them in your crisis management centre, so that they are just as aware of what is going on. Whenever you send them off, give them a short detailed briefing on what the situation is, what their policy will be and what they will answer and what not.
Two or three people are usually enough.
A Ghost Cabinet isn't always necessary but an important addition to a well rounded up crisis. It is also where to best place an independent crisis news team and ideally that's what they will do while they are not acting.
Have them write third party news articles and/or use them to put press releases on your crisis web page. If you have the manpower and technology for it, then use them as newscasters.
The Ghost Cabinet is where your most talented people should go. Many skills can be of use here.
Ghost Cabinet vs. Press Team
Most larger conferences field their own press teams. Therefore you should plan how to integrate them within your crisis. Either you take at least two members (for bigger JCCs: At least committees/2+1 press people) from your press team to take care solely of crisis and have them post the press releases and third party articles - or you keep press work for the crisis within the Ghost Cabinet. Just make sure that the division of the work is absolutely clear and people don't step on each other's toes.
In Crisis Committees 101, I compared writing a crisis to writing a screenplay. To describe directing a JCC, I will have to resort to a slightly more nerdy comparison. Running a JCC is like being the gamemaster of a role-playing session.
Your primary job is to make sure that the suspense does not break.
Sounds simple.
But when that involves dozens of people in multiple committees and NONE of them should just sit there, bored out of their skull, things become tricky. That is why you do not design a crisis during one hung-over weekend. You have to take care that your scenario is solid, that it makes sense (!) and that every committee and every position within each committee has something to do as events unfold.
This will be ensured when you:
- Create a well-rounded scenario with multiple turning points, some of them fixed, some of them optional for use when a region or committee starts to get left out.You see, it is not really that hard.
- Only create positions within the committees that are actually involved in the crisis. This trumps realism. If there is nothing to do for a Minister of Interior - do not make a delegate serve as one.
Another very important thing while running a JCC is to retain an excellent overview on the situations at all times. The more committees you have, the more important and difficult it will become to keep everything in sight. But just two or three committees alone can already create a looot of chaos. Therefore, you should make sure, you prepare well for that:
Prepare a map that you keep updated at all times for any kind of military movement or other events. Whether you do this on a computer (there are quite a few editable maps available online) or go old school and have a nice large map on a table like any good Bond Villain should, complete with little flags or similar things to keep track of events is your choice.Final Hint:
Keep a database of all actions and plots currently underway, sorted by committee. I personally advise a whiteboard full of post-its in different colors. It is much more easily accessible than a digital version and offers a much better overview. Just make sure that the backroom people add a post it for each action order - but only the directorate should be the ones taking them down, i.e. resolving them together with the backroom. That way, you do not lose track and are included in all the important events.
Create extra boards or maps for areas or events of special interest, like military engagements, special operations, hostage situations etc. Create a small table or diagram, whatever helps.
If you want to prepare thoroughly, create a Storyline Tree. Create (Days of Conference +1) fixed storyline events, to make sure that you keep things going and interesting. Then try to anticipate the most likely ways the different committees will react to the events and create a structure of branches with the potential ways the crisis can develop along. This way you secure yourself a head start and can potentially save a lot of time. I say "potentially" because again, plans vs. reality.
The Frontroom and Backroom will have to work as a team. If antagonism between the two parts of the same committee ensues, things will get ugly fast and in most cases, that committee cannot fully participate in the crisis.
The solution is simple: Put them together before you start the crisis. Let them get to know each other, put them in a group for socializing, whatever. That way, they get to know each other as people instead of nameless email-addresses that get annoyed by each other. The dynamics of a crisis are usually associated with a lot of emotion and excitement, therefore a team spirit between front- and backroom is paramount. Also when it comes to dealing with the directorate and other committees.
What really really REALLY not to do
There are many mistakes you can do while running a crisis. The list below probably is anything close to complete, but these things are the mistakes I encountered most often. Sadly, sometimes several of those at the same conference.
Never, I cannot stress this enough, NEVER micromanage the backroom and even less so the frontroom. Never tell delegates what to do. You can do individual briefings /see below), but other than that, do not tell someone what she or he should do. They are your delegates, they came to your conference to spend their own time, effort and creativity, so respect them. And respect your backroom people, too. Never treat them like serfs, never let them take the brunt of the delegates frustration if you made a mistake. Mistakes happen.
What you need to do is at all times have an overview of what if happening, which committee is doing what and how they plot against other committees - and each other. As long as you have that: Fine. If you have a storyline, then follow events closely and let their plots evolve accordingly. There are many subtle ways to direct events, so do not resort to micromanagement. Crises have their own dynamics and each committee in a crisis has it's own dynamic as well. Work with that, not against that.
Furthermore, your backrooms need a certain leeway, they need to be able to make small decisions on their own. If they have to ask for the directorates approval for every tiny decision, the dynamic of the whole crisis will slow to a crawl and the committees will become mired in bottlenecks. Just make sure that the backrooms know how things will evolve in your vision, make sure you keep them in the same as you are located in, otherwise communication will be an unnecessary issue.
Overly fascist Communication Management
Do not force your delegates to run all their communications through the backroom. It will annoy the delegates to no extent, as their messages take ages to reach other committees. Furthermore, it makes absolutely no sense. Delegates talk to each other anyways. Facebook, Skype, WhatsApp, whatever. Delegates talk. You cannot avoid that. The more you try to force them to go through channels, the more they will rebel and bypass the system. Fighting it will only create bottlenecks, chaos and a communication between committees that is slower than medieval horseback messengers. Or ravens ;)
If you want to have an eye on what your delegates are talking about - and you should - then set them up with individual mail accounts whose passwords they have to share with their backroom. That way the backroom can have an eye on what their people are doing - and you can also add a nasty little thing within the intelligence community of your crisis by enabling them to "hack mail accounts of other nations". They will love that, trust me.
Never tell delegates "you can't do that"
Delegates will come up with many, MANY ideas. Some of them realistic, some of them unconventional, some outright crazy, or even self-destructive. However, do not flatly tell them that "they cannot do something" and leave it at that. If they want to go crazy, it is their own funeral. Failure is part of the experience.
Always be open to the creativity of your delegates. Just because an idea is unconventional, it doesn't necessarily mean it wouldn't work. Do not be to rigid in the way you envision the crisis to evolve. Things will change, and a good crisis director will roll with them.
If they really do something crazy or stupid, then give them a reason why it didn't work. May it be that the assassination attempt was unsuccessful and their agents got caught, may it be that an officer refused to execute the order, or anything else that fits the world and the story. Or just let them go ahead and then fail miserably, let their plans backfire maybe. If you want the story to go in a certain direction, nudge events and outcomoes into said direction. That's perfectly fine as well.
But never tell them they "just can't do that". It makes you look like an inept, incompetent dictator. And it will ruin the fun for the delegates, because they will start asking themselves why they even attend the conference, if they cannot do anything anyways. When you start forcing delegates to do what you want, you have already failed as crisis director.
Clear Directives
I always thought this goes without saying once you're experienced enough. Sadly, I recently found out that this is not the case. Therefor it needs to be stressed, that your directives and communication should always be straightforward, clear and free from personal issues.
Be professional and courteous. Always make sure, in which function you address your staff members or delegates.
Trust the people you picked to do a good job and don't interfere too much in the smaller affairs. They can handle that on their own and your job is, after all, to keep an eye on the big picture and manage the situations that arise. Trust me: You will have your hands full.
Avoid Egos
MUN breeds Egos. Crisis breeds even bigger ones. However, if you want to be a good crisis director, you need to let go of that. Yeah, you are experienced. And you might know more than some people. But you will never know more than all of them.
NEVER disrespect your delegates. You are not their king, but you are there to serve, to provide the people that are coming from all over the world to your conference with a fun learning experience. You may have a fancy title, but don't let it get to your head. If conflict arises with delegates, then maybe give them a clean death and a position that is better suited to them (see below, "Dealing with Death"). Of course there are people in the world, who just constantly like to screw things up, but most of the delegates at a MUN are actually reasonable people - provided you take the time to talk to them in a respectful way before things go out of hand.
If you treat delegates badly or disrespectfully, they will in turn lose their respect for you.
One last thing, that goes for everyone - directorate and delegate alike: Never build your self-esteem on MUNs or your MUN performance. Do not let the "Future Leaders of Tomorrow"-Blah go to your head. If there is one thing I have witnessed one time too much, it is that people built egos around MUN, they conceit themselves to be a better or more important person because of their title and start treating others with condescension. Don't be that guy. Seriously.
Life will not care about a best delegate award. It will not care about how many MUNs you did. It will not make you a better person, nor will it make you a leader by default.
But it will care about the friends you make, about your own personal growth and about what you learn.
Real Persons vs. Delegate Ministers
In every kind of crisis, with the exception of futuristic crises that are not based on a popular franchise, you will have real persons that currently occupy the offices that the delegates represent. The question is how to handle that.
You can either have the delegates represent the actual real person, which might in many ways be fun, but can also be very restricting, as they cannot act as they themselves would like. One could argue, that MUN is not about acting like you yourself would do, but put yourself in the position of another perspective, of course. But crisis simulations can, by themselves, already be a lot of research for the respective delegates, so researching into a specific real person might be a bit too much.
As crisis delegates do not write a position paper, you can have them write a short one page bio for their "character".
For these two options, there is no right or wrong. However, you should not let your delegates start as blank slates of cardboard-cutout-people. Everyone who got into a position of power has a history. Good or bad, straight-up or corrupt, with friends and enemies made left and right on their way to the top. Good crisis simulations reflect that in one way or the other.
Obviously, you can also leave the decision between representing a real person or creating an own character to your delegates. That way you can make sure that you have full-fledged personalities and many interesting ways to mess and interact with the delegates artificial backgrounds. It will add a lot of atmosphere.
Individual Briefings
Something that is a lot of work, but also -ALWAYS- pays off is the creation of individual briefings.
They are a little bit like Prepguides. Exept they are shorter. And you have to write a unique one for every single delegate.
But they have many many perks that make them essential during any kind of crisis, not only in JCCs.
The first and most simple - but also one of the most important ones - is that everyone has something to say. If you spread information all over a committee with everyone having a different angle or different sources and detail of information, everyone can contribute in his own unique way. This way you provide an excellent start for all delegates.
Due to the nature of national/ngo/economical committees, you can give different parts of the background info to different people. If it is a military issue, of course defense ministers and chairmen of the joint chiefs of staff will know more detail, while foreign ministers (and also intelligence ministers) will know more about the political fallout and the perspectives of other nations. You can also add personal information (maybe one of the cabinet members in questions knows someone who is directly involved, personally?) or media/popular/economic info on the issues connected with the crisis.
If you want, no one will keep you from placing even conflicting information among the delegates, so they themselves have to find out the truth of what happened in the first place and investigate.
This way, you can also steer people and regulate their knowledge of the situation. Different committees can have totally different information (or just levels of detail) regarding a crisis. You can also nudge delegates into a certain direction, just by the information you provide. This is much less impairing than forcing them to assume a certain role which they might regard as a direct intervention into their own style of play.
However: If you want to add secret information for specific delegates or even give them a secret role (like being a member of a powerful syndicate behind the scenes) make ABSOLUTELY SURE that this information only gets to them, that it is clearly visible that this information is for them only and does not get shared and - if you can spare the time - have them set aside individually and explain this part to them. Nothing in the world works better than a personal talk face to face. It is the only possible way to make sure that everything is understood and came accross correctly.
even nudge then a little
I already touched a lot upon this during the JCC part, but whenever people are in charge of intel, this adds many possibilities to the simulation, but also the danger of the Intelligence Delegates overpowering everyone else by default. And usually they will come up with many creative ideas on ho to mess with people.
Intelligence agencies and their delegates usually come up with very creative way to mess with people, countries and the whole crisis. Which, in general, is a good thing. But you need to be prepared and able to react to things they come up with.
These things usually include:- deliberate spread of false information;Therefore, take note of the manpower, spread of said manpower, specialist branches and technology level of such individual agencies. Make sure that they don't go overboard.
- accessing communication or other data of other delegates;
- hacking other nations and their infrastructure;
- gathering of information about places, people and deployed military forces;
- espionage in all possible variants;
- agents and double-agents;
- assassinations;
And basically any other black-op in the history of mankind and tv/movies
Avoiding Powerplay
As you can guess, even if not taken to the extreme, the power that intelligence delegates have over the others is substantial. Therefore keeping track of these delegates and their plots will take up quite an amount of time. It should be noted, however, that not all intelligence services in the world are equally capable. For example, I would rather take my chances with the Austrian HNaA than the Israeli Mossad. That is why you need to be well informed of the capabilities of these services in terms of technology and personnel.
Luckily, Iintelligence also has it's weaknesses that you can exploit during crises. One of them being that every nation and also several ministries perform counterintelligence. And that alone can lead to many opportunities for you as the "game master" to botch operations or create situations that end baddly for both competing intelligence services. Things can go wrong in numerous ways and if you consider something too disruptive, you should be able to come up with a creative way why the operation failed.
So while James Bond my be able to infiltrate everything and - apparently - survive anything. Other agents might not be so lucky. And few agents in the world are as universally capable as said British agent. For example, while highly trained professionals, direct engagements with military forces almost every single time end badly for agents. They are squishy.
Furthermore, every technology that can be used in one direction can be used in the opposite one as well. For example, if an information gathering operation is detected, it can be used perfectly to send false information.
As you, being the directorate of the crisis, want to keep things interesting, intelligence can be your best tool as well.
Individual Goals
Ever played the game RISK? If you want, you can include personal objectives to individual briefings. A goal for that specific delegate to pursue. This can basically be anything. The fun starts when, as they should, the objectives become conflicting or mutually exclusive.
Delegates can fight over specific regions, islands, resource fields or positions. If you manage to dovetail the individual goals tactfully, you can create suspension for every single delegate and create a lot of dynamic without having to add external events. Or include a race to become caliph instead of the caliph by making the head of state a position that anyone can aspire to and once they do, fight to hold on to power.
Crisis Newsfeed
One thing that every crisis needs is a well structured news page. You CAN, of course simply create a group page on social media, however, I advise against it. News tend to get lost or overlooked easily, if you put them on a group page on Facebook, for example. Creating a newsblog, via WordPress for example, is fast, easy, and much better than any social media group. Plus people won't start posting random stuff and comments all over it.
The EuroMUN 2014 news page is a very good example for a well done conference/crisis newsfeed.
You should adjust the newsfeed to best fit your conference. Whether you want to have a news page just for your crisis or the whole conference - it also depends on the number of press staff you have at your disposition. In general, however, as in the above example, it is best to have a page for the entire conference, so that delegates can see what their colleagues are doing and especially non-crisis delegates can also follow the exciting events. People usually love that.
Just make sure that you prepare the page in advance. It isn't that hard and worth the little extra time spent.
Dealing with Death
Crisis scenarios are volatile by nature. People can die. The question is how much you want death and assassinations to be part of your game. One time too often I have witnessed a directorate that got randy with people killing each other without any regard of what it might do to the simulation. As a general rule, you as the directorate should never kill a delegate yourself, unless she or he does something REALLY stupid. But do not kill someone out of personal reasons. If someone messes up, let their own people handle it. Delegates should be able to kill each other - within reason, of course.
There are several ways to deal with killings during a simulation, so lets go explore.
Permanent Death
Meaning: A delegate who is killed stays dead. Very hardcore. This is what you usually want to avoid. Imagine someone gets killed the first or second day of the conference. You might end up with a number of delegates without anything to do who still had to pay the whole conference fee. That's not what you want. Better put the killed people to good use.
Anything goes on the last Day
You can see this happen rather often at conferences. The gloves come off, the directorate gets VERY lenient with what they allow and basically the whole world goes to hell. ICBMs fly, people die and in general there is a lot of mayhem.
It might be fun, true, but if you have a good crisis concept, you should be able to avoid this and keep up the suspense and excitement without having to resort to this. The "anything goes on the last day" is more or less a hail mary maneuver to safe the day when people get bored and just want to mess stuff up. In terms of death, people who are killed on the last day usually don't return to life, potentially leading to last man standing situations.
The killed delegate is treated like a new person in the same position. Same job. Same authority. Same objectives. The respective recently-deceased delegate remains in the position he occupied before and that also means that he doesn't have to adjust to different rules and authorities. Obviously, this option will create the least amount of chaos and confusion, but might also be considered a littlebit dissatisfying for the person who ordered the killing. At you discretion, you can stop all ongoing schemes and actions the delegate ordered before death, or keep them alive, if you think it fits your story.
Downside: The reincarnated delegate will usually behave exactly as they did before. Meaning that if he messed up before, he might just do the same thing again. And again.
Optional: You can add a "timeout" to the delegates death to reflect the time it takes to find a successor and get her/him up to speed. In that case, however, do not extend this timeout for too long. Not longer than an hour at maximum. Half an hour is usually enough.
Reshuffling means that the killed person stays in the simulation, but will be assigned to a new position. There are two options how to do this: Committee-Reshuffle and Conference-Wide Reshuffle.
The first option means that the killed delegate will be assigned a new office within the committee. That way, the preparation for the committee is not lost and the delegate just has to re-adjust to the new office and it's respective scope of authority. Of course, you can only do this if you have free spots within the committee that are useful for the conference and the developing crisis. Putting delegates on a position where they can't do anything is a bad idea. Or you just wait until two people within the same committee die and simply switch their positions.
Reshuffling a delegate confernce-wide means that you assign a new position within a different committee in the crisis. This can make things more interesting - provided the delegate is up for the challenge and gets briefed well by either you or the backroom of that committee. If you do not do that, a reshuffle like that will likely overwhelm the delegate and it will take hours before they can do something meaningful in the crisis again. If at all. Such a thing should only be done with experienced crisis delegates.
Ideally, I would advise to use either reincarnation or reshuffle - or a combination of both. Probably you should just inform the delegate that he was killed and offer him these options and have her decide how she would like to proceed. That way you include the delegate into the decision and you make sure no one feels treated injustly.
Historical and Futuristic Crises
Historic and futuristic crises can be a lot of fun, but they, too have their own little snares and pitfalls. They do not function differently from regular crisis simulations per se, but there are some things you should keep in mind additionally.
Historical Crises
Given the limited amount of days that a MUN usually provides, historical crises within the UN that can be used at a MUN are limited to the Cuban Missile Crisis.
However, if you drop the UN-dependency, then histroy offers a veritable cornucopia of crises to use. Given the right script and planning, you can choose whatever you like. From ancient times to the League of Nations, the world is open to you. However, in most cases you usually end up "tweaking" the historical circumstances a little. Either to level the playing field at least a little, or to add more possibilities to your committees.
A great boon with any historical crisis simulation is, that there is lots of information available that you can use. Maps, documents, reports, even video and audio files in the more modern cases. They can add a lot of atmosphere.
Dealing with the Historical Imperative
The biggest pitfall of historical crises is that basically the issue has already been resolved once. And people tend to stick to history for some reason. If they do, things will become static very fast and that can kill the whole dynamic of the simulation. People will act predetermined, stick to the original policies and even complain like "But this is not how it happened originally!" However you do not want things to happen just like the did originally. It's not only plain boring, it will also defeat the point of the historical crisis.
To counteract this, you can give people personal objectives - or you deviate from actual history.
Deviating from Original History
This is a very good option to avoid the original historical outcome. At one point during the development of the crisis, throw in an event that differes from original history. You can change the entire game and push your committees away from acting too historical. Have something happen in a totally different area of the world, open a new theater within the conflict or add a new kind of danger. For example, go "Hunt for Red October"-Style at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis and let one Soviet submarine disappear with an unknown objective. In theory you can do whatever you want. Just keep it original and at least half-way realistic.
Either way, this move is a very good option if you want to spice up things. Ideally, prepare two or three alternatives and use whichever fits the situation best.
Personal Objectives
I already touched upon the point of personal objectives above, however, in a historical setting, they can be sown on purpose to deviate from the historical imperative. Be it that there was more going on behind the scenes than people are generally aware of, or be it that you just want to enter a slightly different parallell universe. In any case, you can alter policies for certain players - just beware: When you mix things up too much or go too far, delegates will resent the changes you enforce on them. So add or change the background of the setting or the office as well - or take them aside, personally, before the conference, and explain the changes to them. If you are well with people, you might even get them excited about it and raise their enthusiasm for their "new" role.
A case where personal objectives are even more important are futuristig settings.
Futuristic Crises
Nothing is more interesting than the future. Mainly because it is still unwritten and you can not only let your imagination go on a joyride but also delve into any kind of inspiration, from Philip K. Dick, over George Lucas and Gene Roddenberry to Frank Herbert. Your inner nerd might love this. However, remember that while you and maybe a few other people would greatly enjoy re-enacting the Republic Senate meeting which decides whether Senator Palpatine should be named Supreme Chancellor, it might be a very niché thing.
The most important thing for a futuristic crisis is briefing the delegates. Futuristic crises need more extensive study guides with lots of background information, because unlike for current or historical events, nothing can be researched. To make up for this, the background infor or your scenario must be extensive and include details that the delegates would usually find out during research. The only possible exception might be if you set your futuristic crisis within a popular sci-fi setting that has lots of web based information readily available. But that will also require you to find many nerdy delegates. Just saying ;)
If you do, however, I might actually be game, though.
And if there ever is going to be a crisis dealing with the Noble Houses of the Landsraad, fighting over the ownership of Arrakis and who will become the next Padishah Emperor, let me know.
If you go for a lighter futuristic setting, set up in just a few years or decades in our future, make sure that the delegates know how the world developed, which things changed and what troubles this new era faces. I once bridged the knowledge gap between the current day and the future setting by handing out three front pages of newspapers, each placed at an interval of a few years inbetween. Combined with personal Briefings/Objectives, it really livened up the room. Everyone had something to say - and that is what you want.
Final Words:
As with everything else, however, my guides are simply more guidelines than actual rules. I have a lot of experience, especially crisis-related, but I am neither perfect, nor would I ever be so arrogant as to put my opinion above those of other people :)
Plus: If you ever have any questions, just ask either here or simply write a message ;)

Surgeon 1: "Millicent, I'm going to need you to push"
Me: "you are kidding me right?"
Surgeon 2: "No he's not. It's ok, we just need you to push"
Me: "but I'm having a C-Section and I can't feel my legs" (at this point, it hadn't occurred to me to ask WHY)
Surgeon 2: "it's ok, just push and your body will respond"
Me: attempting a semblance of a push while thinking… "They crazy!"
Bud: looking animated and sounding like a minion that just saw José Mourinho… "Oh wow! Babe! The baby just moved! I can see more of him! Push some more!
Me: thinking… "Jesus take the wheel of this drama"
Being a first time mum can be such an exhilarating feeling…
It can also make one a Mumzilla –
"You are holding his head all wrong"
"His nappy is too tight"
"Who touched the thermostat?"
"Sssshhhhhh! Your breathing is too loud"
"Why is he crying?" (Like anyone would know).
"Whoever moved the bottle of milk I left over at the table, I don't know who you are. But I will look for you, I will find you… and you will pay!"
For the record, I am not copping to anything here (Mmhmm).
A century ago when I found out I was pregnant (being pregnant takes forever!), I went through a rollercoaster of emotions – anger, confusion, slight apprehension and the big question;
What happens now?
Well, what happened was that I got sick and stayed sick for a long time, dealt with some intense cravings (man! Those cravings are for real), was unable to work, canceled some of my gigs and suffered periods of epic brain freeze.
Don't even get me started on the gymnastics and angle of inclination one needs to calculate to be able to get somewhat decent sleep.
The struggle was real!
The blessing was also real as I had the most amazing support (physically, mentally and spiritually) I could ever have hoped for.
So here are a few pointers I can share from my experience…
1. Becoming a mum is a HUGE commitment and a unique experience.
Don't do it for anyone but yourself and your partner.
2. It's ok to cry
Just because it's normal for a pregnant woman to have morning sickness, experience moments of fatigue, loss of appetite, have back pains, act lethargic, put on weight and forget or mix up details every now and then; just because the pain and discomfort you feel has been declared 'normal' doesn't mean you should suffer in silence.
It's ok to feel overwhelmed and cry. Don't feel ashamed to ask friends and family for help. You may be surprised by the kindness and support of those around you (Thank you to all the gems and stars who supported me. I see you!)
3. Do what is best for you
I never considered it a big deal how a baby got here, so long as they got here. So I found it surprising when some folks (I am looking at said folks through my side eye, mmhmm) seemed to be more interested in how I gave birth rather than how I was doing. Giving birth vaginally or through a cesarean delivery is not a competition or contest for an award. There is nothing shameful in bringing forth a human being into this world by either means.
Also, don't let anyone convince you that massaging your stomach 2 times a day with the poop of an alligator will prevent stretch marks. That is just messed up.
P.S – I know a lot of African Christians proclaim and declare to give birth vaginally just like the Hebrew women. Positive thinking and speaking are great. However, if your doctor, midwife or gynecologist have advised on a caesarean delivery, please listen to them and keep you and your baby safe. Besides, you are not even Hebrew! Mmhmm.
4. Take care of you
Need I say more?
5. Have hope, you can do this!
If you have had or are having a difficult pregnancy, it can be challenging to envision an end. I thought I had my emotions all sorted for delivery but as soon as my son was placed in my arms after he was born, I was an emotional wreck and the floodgates opened. I had never seen anyone or anything so perfect.
"What's his name?" The attending midwife asked
"Jedidiah Alexander…
…you can call him Jedi"

The Joy of Books (stop-motion video)
Hi Everyone,
I found this on Yahoo (http://comedy.video.yahoo.com/?lid=24038736&vid=27876460). Sean Ohlenkamp and his wife, Lisa Blonder Ohlenkamp made a stop motion video called 'The Joy of Books'. It was a viral hit on the internet. They used Type Books (a bookstore) and for 4 nights, they would rearrange the books and make them into a stop motion video. I got the facts from http://www.quillandquire.com/blog/index.php/2012/01/10/meet-sean-ohlenkamp-creator-of-the-viral-video-the-joy-of-books/.
The first part reminds me a bit of Harry Potter.
He did a smaller version with his own bookshelf:
I also liked his other videos like Cat Vs. Pinata and his ads for the Toronto Zoo.
Silhouette Dancing
Hi Everyone,
Today, Ms.Jane showed us a silhouette dance by a few Year 6s last year. I was quite interested in this and did a little research on this but I didn't find out much and I also didn't find the name for the type of dance (if anyone finds out, can they please comment and tell me?).
I did find out about 1 professional group called Pilobolus who is famous for this. They have won some awards and have performed for shows.
Here are a few of their performances:
If you were in 4BM, you might remember Mr.Bob showing us this. It's also my favourite one that Pilobolus did.
Here's a trailer to show called 'Shadow Land' but they got Pilobolus to do the shadows.
Bidauto hired Pilobolus to do a commercial for them.
I hope you like the videos! Please comment and tell me what you think!
Calm-Relaxing Songs (Related To Ubunto)
Hi 6SS,
I made 2 videos of 2 relaxing i like. People who are in Mr.Chad's Class last year might know these 2 songs. On of them is Deep Forest – Sweet Lullaby and the other on is Of Oceans-In Love not limbo.
The song Sweet Lullaby is about the beauty and the living of African people. You should watch the music video.
If you watch it carefully it is like the Ubunto village.
I just wanted to share this with you guys.
Pan 😛
Hi Everyone,
I was reading the news when I found an article about the most expensive marble. I realized Marbles are science (how they're made and etc.) so I would like to share some information about marbles with everyone. Another thing I also realized is that we don't play with things such as marbles (Well, most of us don't). We're too obssesed with playing things such as PSPs and Wii but kids our age a hundred years ago, played with marbles like how we play with computer games.
Here are a few links on some articles about marbles:
Here's an article about marbles and their collectors price:
Here's an article about marbles:
Here's some Youtube Videos explaining about Marbles:
This video is about how marbles are made.
This is a Howcast video on how to play marbles. Actually, it's one of the many ways you can play marbles.
Yoshida Brothers- Storm
Hi everybody,
This is a really cool Fusion Song called "storm" by the Yoshida brothers. Enjoy! 🙂
Japanese Sea Monster!!!
I was searching sea monsters on youtube when I found this scary video!!! (It aint that scary…)

Donald Trump steamrolls into Alabama for potentially the biggest US campaign rally of the year Friday, leaving Republican rivals flummoxed over how to contain the political brute now turning the presidential race on its head. The billionaire real estate mogul has snatched the lion's share of the attention, interest and support of Republican voters, using a combative tone to lash out at other candidates with a coarseness rarely seen at the top tier of American campaigns. With more than five months before Iowa and New Hampshire cast the early votes in the party nominating process, Trump leads in polls across the board, leaving the remaining 16 Republican candidates in his dust.

Edmunds.com Alerts Online Car Buyers to Fraudulent Cash Escrow Scams
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — July 13, 2011 — Online car buyers often find that using a cash escrow service is a smart and safe way to complete their transactions, but without proper diligence they could put themselves at risk of being scammed, reports Edmunds.com, the premier online resource for automotive information.
How does a cash escrow scam work? When a buyer agrees to purchase a vehicle found online, he or she is directed by the seller to send money to a phony escrow agent, and is promised that the cash will be held until the vehicle is delivered. Once the cash is paid, the scammers cease any more contact with the buyers, never to be heard from again and the car is never delivered.
These fraudulent escrow services are often given legitimate-sounding names, with some scams even using variations on Edmunds.com's name to give the buyer confidence that the transaction is legit. Since March 2010, Edmunds.com has received 413 reports of escrow scams using the company's name. Of those, at least 35 victims have lost money by following through with the transaction.
"Edmunds.com does not provide 'purchase protection' plans or any other escrow-type services for vehicle sales," said Ken Levin, senior vice president and general counsel at Edmunds.com. "If you see a classified ad that references an Edmunds escrow service, please report it immediately to the web site hosting the ad."
Information on how to report scams to some of the most popular automotive classified listing sites can be found on Edmunds.com at http://support.edmunds.com/faq-10865.aspx. Edmunds.com also advises buyers to protect against escrow scams by not letting the seller choose the escrow agent; instead, the buyer should insist on using an escrow agent of the buyer's choosing. Buyers can research escrow agents through the Better Business Bureau or online.
"Buying a car online is still generally a very safe practice, and the vast majority of transactions go off without a hitch," said Phil Reed, senior consumer advice editor at Edmunds.com. "But when you're buying anything online — whether it's as big as a car or as small as a pencil — it's always wise to take the appropriate steps to ensure that you're dealing with a fair and honest seller."

KINGMAN - Emmalynn Faris has always wanted her own mailbox.
"Every day we go out to check the mail and she's always asking if there is anything for her," said Emmalynn's mom, Crystal.
More often than not, Emmalynn would walk away empty-handed.
"I just need my own mailbox," the 5-year-old would say.
Emmalynn got her wish Sunday thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Arizona, which arranged for the young cancer survivor to have her own lavender mailbox - and a playhouse to put it in front of.
"Thank you for making my wish come true," Emmalynn coyly smiled from beneath a princess crown during Sunday's surprise unveiling.
The two-story playhouse came equipped with a slide, loft area, faux kitchen, painted fireplace and a wooden porch swing.
The Faris family had applied for the wish last year, just a month or two before Emmalynn had been cleared of her pelvic and tailbone tumors. This November will mark one year in remission from the germ cell cancer she had battled for more than a year.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation said it grants wishes to any child who has battled a life-threatening illness and not just those with terminal conditions. Emmalynn's wish came courtesy of the workers at the Kingman Speedco Truck Lube off of exit 66, which beat out 53 other branches to earn the honor of picking a local charity to help. Employees picked Emmalynn after meeting her at several fundraisers last year, said general manager David Fransen.
Cliff Hinkle of J & J Plumbing prepped the yard by leveling the ground in the Faris' backyard. Work on the playhouse started at 6 a.m. last Thursday with a single builder, Colby Earl of Wood Manor, who worked through the heavy rain to keep the project on track. Kingman firefighters stopped by during construction to inspect the home and help with some heavy lifting.
Team Home Depot finished the job by painting the miniature home and adding finishing touches, such as a fake front yard and hanging flowerpots on the walk-around porch. Furnishings were provided by Aaron's Lease to Own, and Lory Marie Photography came out Sunday to make sure the moment was preserved in photographs.
The Faris family managed to keep the unveiling a surprise until Sunday by drawing the shades and keeping their daughters, including 3-year-old Jillian, out of the backyard. Crystal said the look on Emmalynn's face was worth the secrecy.
"When I saw her open her eyes, I heard this gasp," she said. "The look in her eyes was something I hadn't seen in a very long time. I will never forget that look."
Emmalynn hasn't suffered any setbacks since last November outside of some lingering pain, though Crystal said she worries about every sniffle and sneeze because Emmalynn is behind on her vaccinations at her doctor's request. But Emmalynn is resilient, she said, and was able to quickly bounce back from her ordeal of never-ending doctors appointments and hospital visits.
"Even when we were going through treatment, nothing kept her down," Crystal said. "That's a hero in my book."
Crystal said she had to tear her daughters away from the house later that night, only to find Emmalynn waiting with her new front door key in hand the next morning at 7 a.m.
"I can't thank everyone enough for helping us do this for her," she said.

No Ordinary Child (09)
Contributed by Jeffery Anselmi on Dec 22, 2009 (message contributor)
Summary: Jesus was no ordinary child. he is worthy of our worship
• Christmas a traditional time set aside where celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ!
• Most people take time to celebrate the birthday of the ones you love.
• What is it about Jesus that would make us want to have a holiday to celebrate His birth?
• Wasn't Jesus just another famous person who has a birthday that we celebrate?
• We celebrate the birth of Presidents and other famous people like Martin Luther King Jr. What is it about Jesus that would deserve our time and effort to celebrate?
• Maybe it is because Jesus is considered a religious leader? Why don't we have birthdays for other religious leaders? Why don't we have Buddhamas, Mohammedmas?
• What is so different about Jesus, so different that you are taking the time to be here today?
• Jesus was born just like the rest of us, wasn't He?
• As we spend some time examining the circumstances surrounding the birth of Jesus, I hope that we all realize that Jesus is worthy of our worship because He was NO ORDINARY CHILD!
• Let's begin be noticing that Jesus had:
I. No ordinary birth.
• One of the reasons we should celebrate the birth of Jesus is because His birth was no ordinary birth. Let us look at a few things that made His birth one that was not your ordinary run of the mill birth.
1. The announcement of his birth was not ordinary.
• When we announce the birth of a new child, we usually pass our cigars or candy; we take an ad out in the paper among other things.
• One thing we do not do is have our great-great-great-great Grandparents announce the birth of our child several hundred years before the event happens.
• My great, great, great, grandparents did not announce the birth of Rachel way before it happened.
• Look at just one of the passages in the Old Testament that was written by Isaiah some 700 plus years BEFORE Jesus was born. Isaiah saw Jesus more clearly than any of the other Old Testament Prophets. That is an impressive announcement!
• Isaiah 7:14(ESV) 14Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
• We can also see that God used some other impressive ways to let the world know about the birth of His Son!
• Luke 2:8-10(ESV) And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. And the angel said to them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy that will be for all the people.
• God is using the Angels to announce the birth of His Son. I know my daughters and grandchildren are VERY special to me, but God did not send the angels down to announce any of their births!
• God used a star to guide the Magi as they looked for the Son of God.
• If God is going to all this trouble to announce the birth of Jesus, He was definitely no ordinary child!
2. A virgin birth is was not ordinary.
• Let's look at Matthew 1:18
• Matthew 1:18(ESV) 18Now the birth of Jesus Christ£ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.
• We are told specifically in Luke 1:26-27 that Mary was a virgin as well as Isaiah 7:14.
• Joseph must have been wondering what was happening with the wife-to-be that he had not touched!
• Hey Mary, eating too many Crispy Cream Doughnuts!
• Look at Matthew 1:19-20
• Matthew 1:19-20(ESV) 19And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. 20But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
• Suffice to say, a virgin birth was not normal or ordinary.
• The second thing we want to see is that Jesus had:
II. No ordinary heritage.
• Every human that I know and have ever heard of has an ordinary heritage.
• We may have some exciting people who were a part of our past, maybe we were related to George Washington or something, but we are all ordinary in the fact that we have a HUMAN mother and father! Let's look at Jesus for a minute.

Daijiworld Media Network - Udupi (HB/SP)
Udupi, Nov 8: On the first anniversary of demonetisation exercise undertaken by BJP government at the centre, there have been tall claims of its success, while opponents of the measure term it as total failure. Daijiworld decided to meet some people and gather their opinions about this measure.
Pramod Madhwaraj, district in-charge minister, says that when the measure was announced, he had said that it would take sometime before its affect is revealed. "I had expected income of the people to fall because of this measure. People who draw monthly pay are not hit but daily wagers without any other income have been hard hit. Other than the income of Jay Amit Shah, income of no other person would have shown an increase, in my opinion. Personally I am facing problems because of this measure, and it has adversely affected and my business," he stated.
Jay David Soans, a watchman, said that he did not feel any difference because of note ban. He concurred that initially there were certain problems till the currency notes of Rs 2000 value were released. "But the problems were minimal. I see that some people claim that they suffered on account of note ban but I did not suffer. At the same time, that measure I feel, has not brought any benefits too," he explained.
President of district Chamber of Commerce, Krishnaraj Kodancha, said that this is not an issue of note ban. "Perhaps thieves, fake currency manufacturers, and people who do not pay tax and accumulate money without showing it as income, would have faced problems. Honest businessmen have not faced too many problems in my opinion. Because of note ban, new accounts were opened, and the old accounts got refreshed. Such schemes should be brought into force now and then, like small jerks experienced by vehicles. After the jerk, the dealings move on smoothly, as per my notion. It was done for the general welfare of common people. I came to know about it during my Nepal tour, and I feel such measures are perhaps taken on the basis of intelligence inputs," he stated. He felt that people should be ready to face some problems for the creation of a better society in the future. "It is impossible to achieve cashless and corruption-free India completely," he adds.
Taxi owner, Manohar Shetty, said that taxi owners have not faced any problems out of demonetisation and people have cooperated by giving small denomination notes. He feels that it is impossible to make all transactions cashless. "I feel that this measure will prove beneficial, and I feel that in course of time, the motive of cash less society also might be achieved. The government had given enough time for exchange of old notes. We did not have problems in exchanging notes through banks," he said.
A shop owner, Tusha B kanchan, concurs that merchants faced lot of problems because of this exercise and there has been a decline in money i the hands of the bank. "Business has come down. It is impossible to bring cashless transactions into practice. Several poor family do not have anyinformation about it. So far, there has not been much progress in creating a corruption-free society. We may have to wait for some time. I hope that positive changes will come in due course," he stated.
Street vendor, Manjunath, feels that there was not much problem on his business because of note ban exercise. He agreed that there was some problem initially, but it had minimum impact. Business continues as usual. Perhaps, the central government has been bringing out these measures to improve financial situation. With note ban exercise, Narendra Modi had revolutionized the country. I am sure more such measures will be brought about. I wait for them, he said.
President of district consumers welfare forum here,Walter Saldanha, said that as far as the forum is concerned, cashless initiatives and note bank exercise have created multifarious problems. "Business has been halved . Prices of basic things have shot up. There is a crash in transactions and only half of our old customers are visiting us. "Cashless transactions concept is not popular in India. Chances of it gaining foothold is less. People want to deal in cash. No one knows the main purpose for which note ban was done. There does not seem to be any link between demonetisation exercise and cashless transactions," he feels.
President of district Congress election campaign committee, Amruth Shenoy, says that when note ban was brought about, about Rs 16 lac crore was in circulation, and as per their early estimate 50 percent of it would be black money. "They thought that the balance money can be printed and the government coffers would become rich. They tried to explain the measure as having been done to control naxal activities, to encourage digital India concept and cashless economy, control terrorism etc. After two months they had allowed for exchange of notes, they have not revealed the actual black money they could find. 98 percent of money in circulation has come back to the government. Killing of soldiers from across the border has not come down. All classes of industries faced losses. People were afraid to buy property. Government too has not revealed the benefits it reaped out of this measure. In election rallies, Modi gave several assurances, but none of them were met. They orchestrated attacks on dalits and ban on beef. All these are failures of the government. They tried to bring in a big revolution but failed miserably. I want to know from them how will they fill loss of lives because of these measures," he questions.
Economist and columnist, Jayadev Prasad Moleyar, when agreeing that the concept was good, added that he did not find any immediate benefit out of it. As soon as black money is controlled, it stops flowing into economy, and therefore, automatically, business will suffer. We have to look a positive and long term changes that these policies will bring about. Everyone knows that it takes time to see the impact. There is no need to lose heart. "It will prove good for the economy as a whole. Proper implementation of a policy is important. This is a huge process, nor normal. Such a measure was unheard of in the past. Particularly they are difficult to be implemented in countries like India. I feel thinking and plan of action was insufficient and therefore expected benefit could not be reaped. But we cannot leave the measures now. What steps we take next gain significance. All developing nations have taken such measures to stop illegal, fake currency and black money. The aim was good and therefore benefits will be there. People should check honesty of purpose and benefit accruing to the country, not selfish aim," he stressed.
In spite of which government is in office, this was a right measure for achieving financial development. It should have been undertaken in the past, but has happened at least now. It is a long-term process. Cashless transactions can be seen to have gained popularity. Black money has a strong presence n our country. We have about 40 to 50 percent black economy. Black money has definitely been blocked in the market, and therefore,business has suffered. This is natural and expected. If the policies are properly implemented, India will surely show," he felt.
The peoples problem is they forget very fast, during the note ban how much people suffered going to bank standing in que day and night, roaming around ATM to ATM for 2000 rupeee, and if get also struggling for change, No money to pay daily and monthly expenses, banks are not accepting more money visit next day for depositing some cash,,bring photo copy ,adhaar,pan number all harasment, sick people, old senior citizes,pregnet woman standing in quees, Now our people comportable and started telling we do not have any problems,
To me it is plain and simple : use demonetization and GST to go after the enemy. Common man of this country is collateral damage.This kinda tactic is used even in Turkey , Russia, Philippines, Zimbabwe and recently in Saudi Arabia.I am not convinced that these two measures have benefitted common man. True , Dr. Manmohan Singh is not a good orator. Infact he is not a politician.Conversely Jaitely is a Lawyer. Modi is a good orator.Oratory skills can fetch votes. We are yet to see good governance by the present regime.
it was one of the major step against the black money and hence you see lot of opposes from opposition and all leaders who are famous for scandals... it shows the truth. We the common people didn't have any impact and happy going. All stupid reasons are published by all these black money holders with the name of a common man. that's it. but a massive step by Modi and his team against the block money.
Unfortunately most of us helped (forced) Black Money hoarders by depositing their black money to bank in our Name or some other way.
olagina guttu Shivanae balla!!!!!ella partinvrrooo onde kas kas n cash
But truth fact is BJPians and their funding corporator get more and more benefits in demonitization.
initial difficulties may have been there.but outside business does not show it now. see the crowd in liquor shops and even gold shops !Unemployment ? where are people for jobs ?even after advertising in newspaper- it is difficult to get suitable people for job..
Its time to think rationally, focusing on the future generation. Lets wake up and work towards building a strong Nation of the people, by the people and for the people without any cast, creed or religion.
Which is better?People loosing their lively hood , their children going hungry, pensioners unable to buy medicines, small business wiped out... The list goes on- to catch political enemies? Any government that tramples the poor , how can this be progress ? Progress for the blind followers who are in awe!!? Let's see the argument that black money (earned but taxes not paid) hurting the economy. Which economy? If black money ( numbers game) has come back to the government, why heavy taxes ? Why poor implementation of GST?Why torture honest sincere businesses?Why high prices on fuel when crude oil prices are all time low?
If the support is on party base,then the results are always misguiding
Demonitization converted all Black Money into White 😁😂😂
Poor Indians will always dreamlike beggar becoming King. Modi fooled all in the same way, but he became King in all aspects. Using AIR_INDIA for the world tour, BMW to roam around, 28 maids to cook, 12 maids to clean him, 24 Security guards, etc.
Demonetization is a solid slap to the Indian economy and the people..Big game they played in UP election to gain power Yadav family could not use their unaccounted amount for the election campaign. But Amit shah fooled Yadev family by using fake EVM and tie up with bank by using new currency in that also he earned percentage (old to new) or you can say black to white for common people there was no money in ATM's, very difficult to get money from ATM scene was very bad if it get also poor people holding one 2000 running for the change
Demonetisation measure was with good intent but due to the poor implementation and frequent change in goal post created a mess.It really broke the high growth trajectory of Indian economy. Another problem is created by poor implementation of GST .Actually GST is a good measure it should have been at lower and fewer rates .apeople hesitant to do business due the atmosphere of uncertainty prevailing.Further black money is also hoarded in real estate gold and offshore locations .Even if the govt tried to go for zero tolerance towards corruption the tax department is not equipped with necessary manpower to scrutinize all the transactions further cost of appointment of income tax personnel outweigh the benefits.
The day on which Chaaiwaala took charge of Indian Government on 26th May 2014 there was a Railway Accident in U.P., and more or less 50 people have died. R.I.PIn the exchange of notes from the banks more or less 150 innocent people have died. R.I.PHOWEVER, THE CHAAIWAALA HAS TAKEN RELENTLESS SITE SEEING FOREIGN TRIPS IN THE DEMONETISED LOOT IN THE TAX PAYERS MONEY.THAT IS THE REASON THIS GOVERNMENT IS ONLY FROM COWS NOT FOR HUMANSWith the demonetisation:Jobs are lost like not ever before.Small-scale Industries are closed.Almost all vegetable prices are increased.Poor and Middle-class people are suffering.Prices are increased for every commodity in the market.Crude Oil Prices are lowest in the I.N.M. In India Petrol prices are highest.Yet the suit-boot relentlessly wandering in foreign countries in the site seeing mood.
You brain hit by 2014 election 44 seats sill not rcovered
All blind literature and illiterates blindly voted to Chaaiwaala have made u-turn and joined congress.Therefore my advice to you to vote to the human's government and not to cow 🐮 gobernment.In the interest of the nation congress is is vulnerable.See in Karnataka no church ⛪ attacks, no home 🏠 stay attacks, no pub attacks.Everything is peaceful and bhagyave bhagya to the Karnataka people.
v. need cash. v don't have cash becoz no job. demonetisation is a blunder, plunder from sikander.
As per search survey conducted by the All India Manufacturers' Organisation (AIMO),which represents over 3 lakh micro, small scale, and medium and large scale industries engaged in manufacturing and export activities.1.Medium and large scale industries, including foreign companies, engaged in export-oriented activities reported 30 per cent job losses and 40 per cent revenue fall. This is likely to be 35 per cent and 45 per cent, respectively, by March.2.In the manufacturing sector, medium and large scale industries reported the least job-losses in the first 34 days (5%) and took a revenue hit of 20 per cent. This dip is likely to be 15 per cent for both by March.3.Medium and large scale industries engaged in infrastructure projects, such as big-ticket road construction, reported a 35 per cent cut in employment and 45 per cent revenue loss. The number of jobs and revenue are expected to dip by 40 per cent by March.
The fact is the Demonetization is a disaster. The goal of invalidating black money stored as cash was never to be met, as 99 percent of all banknotes have been accounted for by the RBI. The Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) estimated that by April 2017, the number of non-agricultural daily wage earners fell by 5 million, while the number of agricultural laborers fell by 5.6 million. Small businesses have failed in finding access to capital, putting many out of business. The FMCG, Manufacturing, export sector declined by over 1.5 percent, and corporate credit growth has reached a 30 year low.
Common People related DeMo only with deposits and withdrawals from bank. After 2 months of irritations, nobody will today say it is still bad. It is forgotten.The objective of DeMo was to make atleast 3.00lakh crore which Modi expected as black money to get burned. Has it burned? Answer is big No. Is there a cost for this bad game? Yes, tax payers will be paying nothing less than 50K crore for minting new currency and logistics associated with it. Does the common man knows about it ? The answer is again NO.So, the DeMo out come is even after sufferings, pain, losses, there is no gain at all. Further, we all have to shoulder to accept tax burden of 50k crore. Maybe the people who are happy with such thing, each of them must be made to pay 1000times.
Short term inconvenience is better than an long term accountable future. Don't forget you are living in a country which is democratic and having world's second largest population. Issues are inevitable. Thumbs up to government.
Only people dealing with cash had problems..time to reduce cash in your business.
time 2 dismantle modified cow govt.
Better u mind ur business.... bakth spotted
At 44 seats, pappu doesn't have much options,isnt it?Bjp is going to win Gujarat and himachal.Congress though is coming back in Karnataka,not due to pappu,but due to siddu...

The Black Eyed Peas arrive in Australia. And are greeted by aboriginals who can fuck off!!!
I am not Aboriginal!!!
I have stated my views on this time and time again.
Aboriginal DOES NOT MEAN indigenous!!!
I am indiginous to this country but do not see the need to be at the fore of everthing that happens or goes on.
I am sick to bloody death of the fucking Aboriginals claiming they are better than white people, they were here first (who really gives a fuck!!!!!) that they own this land, that they can give traditional greetings to people, yada, yada, bullshit, bullshit!!!!!
They DO NOT have the right to be anywhere and give anyone a greeting on BEHALF of this country.
This country is not Aboriginal, we do not greet our visitors with crap and they do not have the right to represent what is mainly a non Aboriginal country.
I resent the Aboriginals for forcing themselves upon me and my country. I don't give a crap if your ancestors were here before mine, that does not make this land yours!!!!
I resent the Aboriginals popping up everywhere, giving traditional greetings, opening ceremonies, and concerts and pissing me off by snaking their way into everything Aussie.
They don't play by the rules of Australia, and for that matter neither do a lot of other nationalities who come here, but that's a different story. I am sick to fucking death of Aboriginals proclaiming this is all theirs and they have more rights than me and that they are better!!!
According to our last national census, there's less than 500,000 full blood Aboriginals in this country. Tht makes them a VERY SMALL MINORITY who the rest of the country really doesn't give a fuck about!!!
Jewels xxoo

Either, you're the same fucking dick wit who couldn't get their first post right, or there's been two of you decide that you have half a fucking brain cell between you.ReplyDelete
Strange how I bothered using the word Aboriginal and you used the word Abo!!!
Who's got the problem here, not me!!!!
And I'll gladly tell people my views, because they're mine and not yours and I'm entitled to think, feel and speak what I want. This is Australia after all, not dickwit land!!!!
I can understand part of what you say because in the West of Canada, the natives are making a fucking mess out of everything and then they blame the Whiteys. But I think pointing fingers is fucking lame, we should all get our shit together and find solution since we all live in the same damn country and use the same privileges (to some extent... natives have more, of course).ReplyDelete
And Anonymous Crap, you are a fucking joke. YOU can't even put your name on a BLOG comment yet you want her to go "in the public" and state her opinion. Get a fucking life. By the way, threats of death on the Internet can get you into an arrest by the police and a trial, didn't you know that?! It's funny that your stupidity will one day get you behind bars.
Well, as you can see, I've deleted anonymous' replies because you're a fuck wit and no longer deserve to be on my blog. Fuck off and stay gone!!!ReplyDelete
