number of revaluations to the currency in order to bring it closer to it market value.
While the Chinese yuan is freely convertible under the current account, it remains strictly regulated in the capital account. Chinese authorities expressed their willingness to allow the yuan to be fully convertible in the near future.
Chinese authorities are gradually enhancing the use of the currency in other parts of the world in order to promote the yuan as a global reserve currency. Although the process is far from being completed, China has already established trade settlements with selected countries and launched a series of currency swap agreements with more than 20 central banks. In addition, China is rapidly expanding the yuan's offshore market. The opening up of the country's capital market will be a crucial step in the yuan's journey to becoming a major reserve currency.

Government Measures to Motivate or Restrict FDI
China government appears to discourage foreign investment in sectors deemed key to social stability, sectors for which China seeks to develop domestic firms into globally competitive multinational corporations and sectors that have historically benefited from State-sanctioned monopolies or a legacy of State investment. The Government also discourages investments intended to profit from speculation (currency, real estate, or asset). Moreover, the Government has indicated that it plans to restrict foreign investment in resource-intensive and highly-polluting industries.
High debt
In 2016, China grew at its slowest pace since 1990, as its manufacturing and construction industries slowed and fears abounded about its debt levels. According to the Bank of International Settlements, China's total debt has grown from $6tn at the end of the financial crisis to almost $28tn at the end of 2016. This means its total debt is equivalent to 260 per cent of its GDP, while the debts of Chinese companies are about 170 per cent of GDP.
The new Monetary system left local governments with fewer sources of revenue. As a result, they had to rely on land sales and indirect borrowing (mostly so-called "shadow banking") to finance their activity. In addition, local governments put in place off-budget local government financing vehicles to raise funds and finance investment projects.
Although debt is still at manageable levels, an increase in the reliance on shadow banking and the rapid pace of debt accumulation is worrisome. In an effort to increase revenue sources for local governments, in August 2014, the National People's Congress passed amendments to the budget law, allowing provincial government to issue bonds directly and increase transparency. This move paves the way for local governments to raise debt in the bond market.
China's government debt is almost entirely denominated in local currency and owned by domestic institutions. In addition, the government has cash savings equivalent to 6% of GDP in the People's Bank of China. This situation shields the economy against government debt crises. In 2015, public debt amounted to 15.6% of GDP.
China exited the financial crisis in good shape, with GDP growing above 9%, low inflation and a sound fiscal position. China economy will remain the major driver of global growth for the foreseeable future. All these in directors show us that China is a good market for our company to do the new investment. China's growth has long been driven by capital accumulation, supported by high savings. Financial risks are mounting on the back of high and rising enterprise debt, expanding non-bank activities and enormous over-capacity in some sectors. A burst of the housing bubble would hurt the real estate, construction and several manufacturing industries. However, household indebtedness remains moderate and prudential regulations for mortgage loans are stringent, so the financial sector could likely absorb the shock. Social safety net coverage has improved over the past decade, contributing to reduce poverty. Nevertheless, income inequality remains high. Social infrastructure needs to be further developed, especially for rural citizens, and the tax and transfer system made more progressive.

110 | How Writers Make Writing
It's said painters like painting, and writers like having written. That tends to be true. From Zadie Smith to Flannery O'Connor, Steven Pressfield to John Gardner, Annie Dillard et alia, writers know the writing life is difficult.
And, it can be broken down into actionable steps. Steps writers have used for centuries to get work done. In this episode we talk those steps: being a student of language, loving your medium, overcoming distraction, subduing your own fractious mind, building a process, surrendering the outcome. Quote from Suzanne Buffam.

Three times medical professionals were just plain wrong.
Ryan Hamner
PUBLISHED June 23, 2017
Ryan Hamner is a four-time survivor of Hodgkin lymphoma, a musician and a writer. In 2011, he wrote and recorded, "Where Hope Lives" for the American Cancer Society and the song for survivors, "Survivors Survive" used in 2015 for #WorldCancerDay. Recently, he published his book,
This is Remission: A Four-Time Cancer Survivor's Memories of Treatment, Struggle, and Life
, available on Amazon.
OK look, I just need to put a disclaimer on this article. I've had some really great doctors and medical staff over the years. Some I still keep in contact with even after 20 years. I'll go a step further and say by far, the vast majority of medical professionals I've dealt with in my life have been great, like 99 percent of them — but that leaves 1 percent that well, just got it all wrong.
Below are three times when medical professionals were just completely wrong. Oops.
Jussstt missed it
Surgery is scary enough when you are 9 years old, up until that point where they give you the crazy medicine. You know, the medicine that is so good it makes you all of the sudden love your older brother more than you thought you ever could — that same kid who regularly practices his piledriver on you.
One particular surgery I remember was for a biopsy of my chest. It seemed like a big deal because I woke up with tubes in every location minus my ears. I could pretty much do almost anything I needed to do through a tube of my choice. As I slowly came to after my surgery, I did an assessment of my body. After I got a handle on the tube situation, I noticed a little mark above the actual surgery. Wait, it was not just a "mark," it was a cut. It wasn't like a paper cut either. It was like a cut cut. Like an "oops" cut — a "don't worry we'll refund a portion of your money" cut. Seriously guys, you missed the mark… and so I ended up with two marks.
"Reglan will be fine."
Medicines can be tricky. One minute they're your best friend and the next minute the very same medicine that you thought you knew so well turns out to be someone totally different (I don't know you anymore!) This happened to me with Reglan. For years Reglan had worked so well for me as an anti-nausea medication (friend) — but then, there was this one time where it all of the sudden changed on me. Somehow, the Reglan that I always had a great relationship with decided to treat me differently. Pretty rude.
I will never forget the day things changed between the two of us. I was given the drug through my IV in the hospital just like many times before, and about thirty minutes in, I wanted to claw my skin off and punch my face. I couldn't lie still in bed. It was miserable! This should have been what's known as a great (or not so great) "learning experience." A couple years later though, after my bone marrow transplant, I got sick at the clinic. So they decided to give me… yes, Reglan. I wasn't as vocal back then I don't guess. I told them about my previous experience and how I was concerned, but whatever, they gave me the Reglan — guess what happened this time though? Yes, the same exact thing! I wanted to claw my skin off. I was ridiculously agitated but had nothing around to break or throw. It was horrible! And this time, I wasn't in the privacy of my own hospital room. I was in a clinic full of people responding just as expected to their medications and there I was yelling at the nurse, squirming and acting like a child (nothing new there). So, what did the nurse do for me? Nothing! I don't guess she could, but I had to sit there and wait until it simply passed.
"You'll be fine, just wait," she said
Oh look, it's another throw up story. It seems like the first couple of years after my bone marrow transplant I had an unusual amount of sicknesses — stomach bugs, fevers — it wasn't good. One night my temperature spiked and I felt terribly nauseated, but I didn't even consider Reglan. We decided to go to the ER. Let me be honest, some nurses listen and are on top of things. They will consider everything you have to say, or at least be quiet and let you speak. Even if you are wrong. On this particular night though, the nurse couldn't keep her mouth shut and hear me out, and because of it neither could I.
In my ER room, my stomach was cramping and the nausea was unbearable. That bubbly feeling was intensifying and so were the sweats! I knew what was coming. I told my nurse I needed something quickly. Basically, "Hey, give me something now or I'm going to puke on your shoes!" Her response to me was something like, "Well do you just want me to give you a shot in the arm?" — Actually yes, that would have been a great decision. For whatever reason though, she couldn't give me anything to help with the nausea at that very moment. So I did the only thing that made sense, I violently threw up off of the side of the bed… onto her shoes (it was just a little bit). The moral of the story is quite simple. When someone comes into the emergency room very nauseated, sweating and asks for anti-nausea medication immediately, give them something (not Reglan) or they may throw up on your shoes.

The future of Rosslare Europort and its strategic importance was top of the agenda yesterday (Monday) when Minister for Transport Shane Ross visited Wexford.
Minister Ross and Minister Paul Kehoe both met with Tom Enright, CEO of Wexford County Council where Rosslare Europort and further investment in the county's road network were discussed. At Rosslare Europort Ministers Ross and Kehoe were briefed by general manager Glenn Carr and chairman Frank Allen on the regional benefits and the challenges and opportunities posed by Brexit.
They also met local business people who have a business relationship with the port.
Speaking after the visit, Minister Kehoe said he intends to follow up with Minister Ross in relation to the development of the port.
He said it is vital that all measures are taken to ensure the port is Brexit-proofed.
'Particularly in light of Brexit, Rosslare Europort is a vital facility for both Wexford and the wider country. The meeting involving Minister Ross was focused on how we can work with all the relevant stakeholders to develop the port effectively.
'It was important for both port management and local business people to meet with the minister. Brexit has thrown up new challenges that will require joined up thinking from all parties involved.'
Minister Kehoe said Rosslare Europort will now undergo a strategic review, adding that it plays a crucial role in maintaining links with EU markets.
It was noted that Project Ireland 2040 promises to improve connectivity to Rosslare Europort and to complete the development of the N11 from Oylegate to Rosslare.
Planning for the development of the N11 will take place in 2018 before moving on to the construction phase. Other transport issues were also brought up, including the potential to develop Waterford Airport.
The need for investment in the road network around the county was also highlighted during Minister Ross' visit.
Minister Kehoe felt it was particularly important for Minister Ross to hear first hand the impact Storm Emma had on communities.
He said Wexford was worst hit by the storm and that there was a deterioration in roads as a result.
'The discussion also surrounded local roads and the negative impact the recent Storm Emma has had on our infrastructure. It was extremely useful for Minister Ross to visit the constituency so that he could hear first hand our desire to bring more investment to Wexford.'
Minister Ross also visited Our Lady's Island where he met with public representatives and community groups to see the works being carried out at the local community centre.

Trustees are responsible for administering a trust for the benefit of the beneficiaries. In some instances, multiple trustees may administer a trust as co-trustees. Occasionally, issues arise causing the beneficiaries of a trust or the co-trustees to pursue removal of a trustee. These issues could be general unhappiness with trust accounting or failure of the trustee or co-trustee to provide information when requested. In short, the grantor (creator) of the trust, co-trustees, the trust beneficiaries, and the probate court have the ability to remove a trustee
The reasons for removal of a trustee depend upon the trust documents and applicable state law. Generally, a trustee can be removed for:

Retirement planning is essential given ever-increasing life expectancies in the United States. Unfortunately, many Americans fail to save adequate amounts to make it through retirement. Often, individuals believe that they will be fine on Social Security. However, Social Security is only designed to compensate for 40% of your income; Social Security is designed to be an income supplement rather than a sole income source. To make matters worse, workers tend to overestimate how late into their life they will be able to work. Inadequate savings and an inability to work produce an exceptionally stressful retirement. Remember, it's never too late to start saving.

Trying to unravel all the ins and outs of the estate planning process can make your head spin. Most people associate wills with estate planning, but there are so many more legal tools that can be put in place to help plan for the future health and financial well being of you and your family. An IRA inheritance trust is one such valuable legal tool that may be beneficial to you and your loved ones. Find out of an IRA inheritance trust should become part of your estate plan.
The majority of the time, the money held in an IRA account will be distributed to the person you list on the beneficiary designation form. This is one of the forms you will fill out when you open or amend an IRA account. Not many people are actually aware that you do not necessarily have to name an individual as the account beneficiary. You may list a trust as the beneficiary. This trust is what is referred to as an IRA inheritance trust.
When considering whether or not to utilize an IRA inheritance trust, you really need to think about who would benefit from establishing such a trust. This means considering who would be the designated beneficiary of the IRA proceeds. An IRA inheritance trust can be very beneficial if you are considering designating an IRA beneficiary who may:

A power of attorney is an estate planning document that has a variety of uses. There are several types of these documents available, and each one performs a slightly different function. One or more of these plans may be a good idea to include as part of your estate plan.
A power of attorney gives another person permission and authority to make decisions regarding various aspects of your life if you can't make those decisions yourself or if you just want to hand over control to a friend or loved one for any other reason.
A power of attorney gives someone else, who does not have to be an attorney, the ability to make decisions for you. You are essentially authorizing this other person to act on your behalf either generally or if certain conditions are met.
You must complete a document to give this power to someone else. This document may need to be notarized or go through another type of authentication process.

A will contest or will challenge questions whether the will is valid or whether specific terms are really what the testator intended. In some will contests, the entire will could be determined invalid. In other situations, only portions of the will may be disregarded.
While there can be any number of validity challenges, will contest typically center around just a few common problems.
To create a will, you must be of sound mind. That means that the testator must have the mental capacity to understand what he or she is doing. The same requirement exists if the will is being modified or revoked as well.
Being of "sound mind" requires that the testator know what property he or she owns and understands the effects of creating and finalizing the will. This standard is relatively low. However, it can be a real challenge for someone who is suffering from the beginning stages of dementia or has another health issue.
When you create a will, you are supposed to develop it with no outside influences or pressure. When someone tricks you into including a specific provision, establishing or revoking a will, or altering your will, that can be considered undue influence. These situations are especially prevalent when the testator is vulnerable to outside pressure, such as when they have a health condition.
Having an attorney help prepare the will can help address potential issues with undue influence. For example, the testator should meet with his or her attorney alone so that they can discuss what the testator's wishes are, not what children or spouses may be interested in.

Most people realize that they can use their last will and testament to set out who should receive particular assets or income. However, few people understand that they can also describe how they would like specific debts paid off in their will as well. Unfortunately, many of your debts do not just disappear when you pass away; they are often passed on to your loved ones to address.
Thankfully, some careful planning and forethought now can help your family and friends deal with these issues much more efficiently in the future, cutting down on confusion and stress.
Generally speaking, there are two types of debt. Which kind you have will affect how you can pay these items after your death.

Wills and trusts can be extremely complicated, especially when they relate to one another or feed off of each other. You can certainly have both tools as part of your estate plan. Depending on your unique financial circumstances and personal preferences, it may make sense only to have a will. Moreover, there are some things that a will cannot do that a trust can, and vice versa. Are there ever situations where a trust can completely replace a will? Probably not.
The main reason that people prefer trusts instead of wills is that trusts do not have to be probated, which can be an expensive and time-consuming process. It can also be difficult for your loved ones in some situations. A probated will is also a matter of public record, which may not be desirable for some people. For these and and other reasons, some individuals choose to use an estate planning tool that will avoid the probate process -- a living trust.
Thursday, August 16, 2018
You've had an attorney draft your estate planning documents, including your living trust and will. Probate avoidance and tax saving strategies have been implemented. Your documents are signed, notarized and witnessed in accordance with all applicable laws, and are stored in a location known to your chosen executor or estate administrator. Your work is done, right? Not exactly.

Estate tax portability means that the unused portion of the first-to-die spouse's estate tax exemption passes to the surviving spouse. The current estate tax exemption is $5.45 million. This means that a married couple's total estate tax exemption is currently $10.9 million (in 2016). For example, a husband dies with $2 million in separate assets. He has $3.45 million remaining in his estate tax exemption, which passes to his wife, giving her a total of $8.9 million in estate tax exemption. Without portability, the husband's remaining exemption might have been forfeited if the couple had not implemented special tax planning techniques as part of their estate plans.

A thorough and complete estate plan must take into account a significant amount of information about your assets, your family, your property, and your wishes during and after your life. When you make your first appointment with an estate planning attorney, ask the attorney or the paralegal if they can provide a written list of important information and documents that you should bring to the meeting.
Thursday, July 12, 2018
The purpose of writing a Last Will and Testament is to make sure that you – and not an anonymous probate court judge – have control over the distribution of your property after your death. If one or more family members disputes the instructions in your will, however, then it is possible that a probate court judge may decide how your assets will be distributed. Protect yourself, your family members and your last wishes by taking steps to prevent a will contest after your death. Will contests (this is the legal term used to describe a family member's challenge to the contents of a will) can be based on one or more of these claims:

ISIS 3 Documentation
ISIS 3 Coding Standards and Style Guide
Coding standards for ISIS 3 developers (effective February 1, 2012).
This document will describe the coding standards for maintaining ISIS 3 source code. It was created to ensure that the ISIS 3 package is programmed for consistency, readability and ease of future maintenance. This document does not attempt to address every possible issue. However, the guidelines that have been outlined should not be deviated from, except under special situations.
The general indenting scheme for ISIS 3 is 2 spaces (no tabs). Wrapped lines of code should be indented a minimum of 4 spaces from the beginning line of the command. Programmers may choose to indent more than 4 spaces to make the code more readable. For example, it is common practice to indent a wrapped line to be contained inside the opening parenthesis when making a long method call as shown below.
For example:
// The second and third lines are often indented to line up with the // appropriate opening parenthesis. throw IException(IException::Unknown, "Camera missed planet or SPICE data off.", _FILEINFO_);
Lines of code should not exceed 100 characters unless they cannot be wrapped. This may be difficult in a few cases, however there are little if any cases in which the 100 character limit must be broken. For function implementation, lines may be broken between the return type and class name scope or between input parameters as shown below.
For example:
// Break lines between input parameters and indent to opening // parenthesis. Code inside the function is indented 2 spaces from the // beginning of the method return type. vector<double> VeryLongClassName::ReallyLongFunctionName(int a, int b, int c) { statement1; ... } // Break lines between return type and class name and indent the // second line 4 spaces. The input parameters are then indented 4 more // spaces for readability. Code inside the function is indented 2 // spaces from the beginning of the method return type. vector< vector<double>, vector<double> > VeryLongClassName::ReallyLongFunctionName( const vector<double, double> inputParameter1, const vector<double, double> inputParameter2) { statement1; ... }
Padding is not used inside parentheses ( ) or angle brackets < > if the interior is short and simple. For embedded parentheses, padding may be used to make code more readable. For embedded angle brackets, padding is required between closing brackets. If the interior is not simple, programmers can also use padding in such a way to make the code more readable.
Externally, we use padding before opening curly braces. For example, a space should be added before opening curly braces for method definitions, namespace wrappers, enumeration definitions and control structures.
For example:
// No interior padding needed - single brackets
vector<double> vectName;
// No interior padding needed - brackets are not consecutive
vector<vector<double, double>, int>
// Padding needed outside parentheses, none needed inside
if (condition) {
// Use interior padding when closing parentheses or angle brackets
// are consecutive characters.
vector< int, vector<double, double> >
if ( (a && b) || (c && d) ) statement;
// Use padding before opening curly brace
namespace ISIS {
No space should be used between a method name and its opening parentheses. Padding inside and after parentheses was covered previously in this document, see Formatting Padding Around Parentheses, Braces, and Brackets.
For example:
// Correct form int functionName() { if ( success() ) // Incorrect form has space after function name int functionName () { if ( success () )
There is no padding between variables and unary operators such as
For example:
// Correct form int count = 0; count++; if ( !success() ) // Incorrect form has a space between the variable name // and unary operator. count ++; if ( ! success() )
Padding to be discussed
When declaring a vector or list data type, no space between the keyword and the opening angle bracket should be used. This is merely an aesthetic preference for consistency throughout ISIS 3.
For example:
// Correct form - No outside padding vector<double> QList< QList<int>, QList<int> > // Incorrect form with outside padding vector <double> QList < QList <int>, QList <int> >
Most control structures require the use of braces for compound statements, or blocks, such as conditional structures (if - else), iteration structures (for, while, do - while), and exception structures (try - catch). For these structures the opening brace should appear on the line with the appropriate keyword that indicates the beginning of such a structure and the closing brace should appear on its own line.
For example:
// The opening braces for each block appears on the same line as the // if and else keywords. Closing braces have their own lines. if (condition) { statement; } else { statement 1; statement 2; }
Function definitions, class definitions and other similar structures that have multiple statements should follow a similar format.
Note that these guidelines apply only to compound statements, or blocks. For simple statements, control structures and function definitions may be written in a single line of code without braces. Control structures with multiple parts should use consistent formatting in each part. That is, if braces are used on any section, then they should be used on all sections.
Control structures that use parentheses (if, for, while, switch, catch). For these should have external padding around the parentheses. That is, there should be a single space before an opening parenthesis and one space after a closing parenthesis. If a control structure has a keyword immediately preceding an opening brace (try, else) there should be one space between the keyword and brace. For an example, see Control Structure Braces.
General padding guidelines have been previously covered in this document, see Formatting Padding Around Parentheses, Braces, and Brackets.
Do not use a backslash to continue a line of code. This is not necessary in C++. For example, if a long string is being set, an end quotation can be used and the next line use a beginning quotation.
string str = "This string is very long and will need to be " "continued on a second line.";
The use of aliases for logical operators is prohibited in ISIS 3 . For example, a program must not contain the following aliases:
|Prohibited Alias
|Use Logical Operator
The asterisk for pointers (*) and the ampersand for references (&) should always be put on the variable name or method name when possible.
For example:
// Pointer and reference go on the variable name int *var1; int &var2 = *var1; // On method prototypes, the pointers and references go next to the function or method // name. int *function(const int &a); int *Class::method(const int &a); int &function(const int *a); int &Class::method(const int &a);
Isis 3 uses the Doxygen documentation extraction software. Doxygen has extended the tag set of the javadoc documentation style, a systematic in-code documentation style that allows pertinent documentation to be extracted easily. Doxygen is just one of many software packages that are able to extract and use javadoc documentation for a variety of purposes, allowing us to take advantage of a wealth of documentation extractors, IDEs, and other tools on the market that make our lives simpler and more productive.
/** * Comment about setGlobalB here. Never place multi-lined comments * after the entitiy. */ void setGlobalB() { //! single line comment here g_b = 3; //!< or single line comment here }
HTML can be used anywhere in your documentation. Keep it simple. Doxygen will "interpret" your HTML, so you may not get the desired effect. Best advice, avoid attempting special effects by just using the basic HTML formatting tags - bold, underline, pre, code, table (caption, tr, td, th), etc. and only when really necessary. Better yet, consider using the formatting tags in the Other Useful Tags section instead of HTML. Your plain old text will be pretty nicely rendered into paragraphs with automatically linked items and other bells and whistles. Keep your source readable: minimize formatting.
Class, method, variable, and other entity names will be automatically linked in the documentation. To prevent this for a specific occurence of a name, use a percent sign (%) in front of the name. For example, if you have a class name "Histogram" and you want to prevent the linking of the word "Histogram" in your description because it is not referring to the class but to an actual histogram, use "%Histogram" to prevent the word from being linked.
E-mail addresses and web addresses are also automatically linked. If a web address is particularly long, put it on its own line.
This section will cover the proper way to name applications, classes, functions, variables, enumerations, and namespaces and files.
Application names are always all lower case. Existing parameter names should be checked before any new names are created. (Plans to create a standard parameter name document are currently underway.)
Classes should be upper camel case. That is, the first letter should be capitalized and, if the class is a multi-word phrase, spaces are eliminated and each subsequent word should also begin with a capital letter. As a general rule, class names should be nouns.
**Note: There are 3 existing classes in ISIS 3 that do not follow this convention. The iString and iTime classes needed a prefix to distinguish them from the C++ system string and time classes. While these classes will not be changed at this time, in the event that similar classes are created, a capital letter I prefix should be used to remain consistent with the rest of ISIS 3.
For example:
// Class names are upper camel case ClassName IVector
Member functions should be lower camel case, when possible. That is, the first letter should be lower case and, if the class is a multi-word phrase, spaces are eliminated and each subsequent word should begin with a capital letter. This should remain consistent throughout ISIS 3 except in two cases. Constructor and destructor methods must be upper camel case to match the class name. The other case in which this convention may not be followed is when a method overrides or overloads an existing method from its parent package. In these cases, clearly, the original method name must be kept. For example, some packages use underscore separated naming.
For example:
// Ordinary member function names are lower camel case. functionName() // Constructor function names are upper camel case. ClassName() // Overridden member function from third party package keeps the name of // the original function. original_function_name()
All appropriate mutator and accessor methods should begin with set, has, or is. The get prefix should not be used for accessor methods, with the exception of overridden methods inherited from third party libraries.
For example:
// All mutator methods begin with the 'set' prefix. void setSize(); // The 'has' and 'is' prefixes are always used. bool hasKeyword(); bool isIgnored(); // The 'get' prefix is not used for methods that retrieve int size(); Stretch stretch(); // The 'get' prefix sometimes is required for overridden methods from // third party packages, such as the following method from QInputDialog. QString getText();
ISIS 3 currently uses three types of data members: global, protected, and private. Note that global and protected data members should be avoided and public member data in classes is not permitted in ISIS 3.
Global variables should have the prefix g_ followed by a lower camel case name. Protected and private variables should have the prefix m_ followed by a lower camel case name.
For example:
// Global variables use the 'g_' prefix. g_globalVariable // Member variables use the 'm_' prefix. m_memberVariable
Local variables should have lower camel case names. Names for local variables should be "meaningful" and documented when necessary. For example, names can describe what they represent or they can mimic the variable names of a mathematical formula or equation. If a piece of code represents a formula, it is advisable to document the original formula location and, when known, the meaning of a variable.
For example:
bool LambertAzimuthal::SetGround(const double lat, const double lon) { ... // Variable names mimic the names of mathematical // variables in the formula found at // http://mathworld.wolfram.com/LambertAzimuthalEqual-AreaProjection.html // KEY: // VARIABLE MEANING // phi given latitude, in radians // lambda given longitude, in radians // phi1 center latitude, in radians // lambda0 center longitude, in radians double phi = lat * PI / 180; double lambda = lon * PI / 180; double kPrime = sqrt(2/(1 + sin(phi)*sin(phi1) + cos(phi)*cos(phi1) *cos(lambda - lambda0); x = kPrime*cos(phi)*sin(lambda - lambda0); y = kPrime*(cos(phi1) *sin(phi) - sin(phi1)*cos(phi) *cos(lambda - lambda0); ... }
Both the enumeration type name and enumerators inside the braces should be upper camel case.
For example:
* Documentation for enumeration type.
enum EnumTypeName {
//!< Documentation for first enumerator
SecondEnumerator //!< Documentation for second enumerator
Currently, the only namespace that is used is the ISIS namespace. However, if namespaces are added, they should be upper camel case. Also note that any new namespaces should be inside the ISIS namespace.
For example:
// Namespaces are upper camel case. NamespaceName
In some situations, having multiple files with the same name (regardless of case sensitivity) might cause compiler errors. To prevent these problems the use of the same file name anywhere in ISIS should be avoided, when possible.
All class source files should match the name of the class and use a .cpp extension. Header files also match the class name and use .h extention.
For example:
// Class source files and headers files are upper camel case. ClassName.cpp ClassName.h
The application file that contains the main method should have the same name as the directory (i.e. the executable), use the .cpp extension and be all lower case. The xml file should also have this name.
For example:
// Application source files and xml files are lower case. applicationname.cpp applicationname.xml
Every object header file should begin with a #include guard to prevent double inclusions. That is, the first two lines should define the class macro with the #ifndef naming convention. The last line of the header file should close the guard with #endif .
For example:
#ifndef ClassName_h #define ClassName_h
No code should exist before #include statements in ISIS 3 files. These #include statements should be separated into groups of libraries by a single blank line and each group should be ordered alphabetically. All #include statements for third party libraries (i.e. not in the ISIS namespace) should use angle brackets, not quotation marks.
For example:
// Correct form #include <cmath> // Incorrect form #include "math.h"
The order of the groups are defined below:
Object Header Example:
// The parent is always included in the header #include "ParentClass.h" // Some STL types are declared in the header #include <string> #include <vector> // Data member objects and objects used in inline functions // are included in the header #include "PvlGroup.h" #include "WorldMapper.h" namespace ISIS { class Displacement; class Pvl; ...
Object Implementation File Example:
#include "IsisDebug.h" #include "ThisClass.h" #include <string> #include <vector> #include <QList> #include <QPair> #include <SpiceUser.h> #include "Constants.h" #include "Displacement.h" #include "IException.h" #include "Pvl.h" #include "WorldMapper.h" using namespace std; namespace ISIS { ...
Application Main File Example:
#include "Isis.h" #include <map> #include "Application.h" #include "IException.h" #include "iString.h" #include "Process.h" #include "UserInterface.h" using namespace std; using namespace ISIS; void IsisMain() { ...
Forward class declarations are statements in a header file that let the compiler know that a class will be used in this file and will be defined later (when included in the implementation file). When appropriate, forward class declarations should be used in place of #include statements in a header file. This can minimize problems associated with include chains. Any function parameter, return value, pointer or reference can take a forward declaration. Here are some examples when the header file must have a #include rather than a forward class declaration:
Documentation for ISIS 3 is done using Doxygen.
Any time a method is added to a class, the header file class history should include an entry indicating this change with the name of the method indicated with empty parentheses.
All history entries should be below an internal tag and indented 2 spaces from the start of the internal tag. Doxygen history entries in ISIS 3 should begin with the date of the form YYYY-MM-DD, followed by the name of the programmer(s) responsible for the changes. This is followed by a dash, padded by a space on each side before the comment. When wrapping a Doxygen history entry, the subsequent lines should begin 4 spaces after the first name of the first programmer submitting the change. This will make history entries easier to read.
For example:
/** * * @internal * @history 2011-01-01 Mickey Mouse - Original version. * @history 2011-01-02 Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck - Added new * method, SetKeyword() */
The Doxygen author tag is required for class documentation and optional for method documentation.
For example:
/** * * @author 2011-01-01 Mickey Mouse * * @internal * @history 2011-01-01 Mickey Mouse - Original version. * @history 2011-01-02 Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck - Added new * method, SetKeyword() */
Every Makefile for an application test or category test should have a comment on top explaining the purpose of the test case.
For example:
# Test for bandnorm with default parameters: # AVERAGE=BAND APPNAME = bandnorm include $(ISISROOT)/make/isismake.tsts commands: $(APPNAME) from=$(INPUT)/f348b26.cub \ to=$(OUTPUT)/bandnormTruth.cub > /dev/null;
The struct keyword is not all together disallowed in ISIS 3, however there are restrictions on its use. The use of a structure is prohibited from the public API in ISIS 3, this would include global definitions in a header file. That is, any structures in a class must be private or protected. Structures can also be used in applications. A structure that contains only data is acceptable in ISIS 3. Structures in ISIS 3 cannot have methods.
Using statements should be placed in the implementation files after #include statements.
With the exception of inner (or nested) classes, all classes should be contained within their own files. Each class should be split into two files, header and implementation file, unless it is proven that it is faster to inline all functions. Support classes are object files and so must have the name of the contained class. Also, the name of support classes should reflect the application or object that it supports.
For example:
// Inside VimsCamera object directory. Notice the Vims prefix on // this class name so that there is no danger of using an existing // class name from another camera model that has a sky map. VimsSkyMap.cpp // Inside cnetref application directory. CnetRefByEmission.cpp
In general, header files should only include prototypes and declarations. Functions should not be implemented in the header file unless it is necessary or proven faster.
Using statements should not be used in header files.
The inline keyword should only be used if a function is implemented in the header. Therefore, inline functions are only used when necessary or proven faster.
The const keyword should be used on any function that does not change the value of data members of the class. If necessary, an identical overridden version of the method should be written without the const keyword.
It is recommended that just in time declaration is used for local variables whenever possible.
Primitive variable types should be initialized using an equal sign, not parentheses.
For example:
// Initialize primitives with = sign. int i = 0; // Incorrect form - Do not initialize // primitive with parentheses. int i(0);
All class members should be initialized in the class constructor. Pointers must be initialized to NULL before they are set to any other value, especially before use of the keyword new and must be set back to NULL after they are deleted.
For example:
ClassName::ClassName() { m_pointerVariable = NULL; if (condition) { m_pointerVariable = new OtherClass(); } else { m_pointerVariable = new ThirdClass(); } } ClassName::~ClassName() { delete m_pointerVariable; m_pointerVariable = NULL; }
The methods in the *.cpp file should be ordered as the author finds logical. New methods added to a class should attempt to follow the same ordering. Some common styles of format are
Instantiating the IString class is no longer recommended. This class may be given a couple of static methods that operate with QStrings in the future, but for all other purposes consider IString to be deprecated. IString should never be in the public API of new code.
The QString class does most of what "iString" used to do for us. QString is the string we should always expect in our public API, with any conversions for the purposes with interfacing with other APIs to be done inside of the methods which interact with the other APIs. Please use QString wherever possible and reasonable. This was motivated by the following:
The STL string class doesn't provide an easy to use, intuitive interface for our purposes (parsing methods are global functions and cryptic, no unicode support without going to std::wstring, no arg(), split()/join(), tr(), etc... available). Many APIs expect std::string or const char * as input. If your class is interfacing with one of these APIs, please have your class take QStrings as arguments and convert to a std::string with QString::toStdString(). If you need to convert to a const char *, you can also use QString().toLatin1().data().
Other string classes should be handled like we're handing std::string, but a function may be created in the IString file to convert to the new type. For example, if there was a "somelib::AString" class, providing: somelib::AString toAString(QString) in IString.h is okay.

benedetta ristori photography
Stunning simplicity.
Based in Rome, photographer Benedetta Ristori's work draws attention to form and space in a way that is somehow both striking and soothing to the eye. Her series Untitled highlights the beauty of symmetry and colour in everyday objects most of us would walk straight past, inspiring us to look twice at our surroundings (and potentially also invest in some adorable yellow wallpaper). Totally self-taught, Benedetta has said that "the only exam that mattered for me has and always will be that of myself and the camera". Check out Untitled and her other stunning works here.

Greetings fellow longboarders!
Welcome to 2011 and another year of exciting things happening here with ASRA.
Looking back over the past year there has been a tremendous growth in this sport we all love and do - longboarding. When I first moved to Australia nearly eight years ago you would rarely see anyone with a longboard. Nowadays they are everywhere. I've skated my local haunt in Manly for the past three years without seeing a single other person there skating. The other day there were six dudes there cruising around and catching bush barrels - just another indicator of the growth our sport is experiencing.
A really positive development we are seeing is that all aspects of skating are being pursued under this banner of longboarding. Everything from hardcore downhill, freeriding, sliding, soulcarving, slalom racing, long-distance skating to that simplest of skating joys, just cruising down the sidewalk. We are extending to all types of terrain - mountain roads, local roads, highways (the Adelaide boys specialise in this!), bike paths, ditches, you name it. If there's a rideable surface to be found, we're there. It's exciting for an old-timer like to me to sit back and see all this develop all over the country. And I say old-timer because there is a whole new generation of young guys and gals who are out there ripping and doing stuff I never imagined possible a few years ago.
On the downhill front, the year kicked off in fine form with MotH III, which is rapidly gaining legendary status. It is a terrific venue that is friendly enough for beginners yet provides enough thrills and spills for the veterans to have fun as well. As we all know, Ben Hay continued his winning form, shoring up an early lead in the rankings.
Speaking of rankings, most of you probably noticed we launched the ASRA Rankings for downhill races. This is a perpetual rankings, meaning that going forward it is intended to capture the last 12 months of results on an ongoing basis. The rankings are an incentive for people to organise events and for competitors to travel to races. It already seems to be working, with lots of interstate travelers in attendance at MotH and people already planning to go to events hungry for points. Those who were at MotH already have a ranking. If you weren't there, get an event up and running in your neighbourhood and you'll get points!
Next on the calendar is a small race at Kongwak, Melbourne, followed by Bomb the Snowies, which should be a great deal of fun. RiffRaff has been working hard to put on a quality event, and I can't wait to get down there. If you haven't signed up yet, do it!
In terms of what we are up to in ASRA, we have some exciting news. We are proud to announce we have just invested in a very significant piece of infrastructure - a superduper Tag Heuer timing system. This is the same equipment the IGSA uses, and it means we now have the ability to provide events with proper and reliable timing services. It also means we can offer cool features such as split timing and create speed traps to see how fast people are riding. Most importantly, it means we now avoid having to lug hundreds and hundreds of meters of cable around to every event we go to!
Of course, we continue to be able to provide public liability insurance to event organisers. Please contact any of us here at ASRA for information on this. The pace of events taking place is increasing, and it's great to see people across the country putting stuff on for their local rider community.
I know 2011 is going to be a huge year for longboarding and look forward to being part of it.
Keep rolling...
ASRA President

Today's blog entry is going to be discussing the always exciting topic of weatherstripping.
With the winter months upon us it is more important than any other time of the year to have a properly sealed garage door opening. This can be the difference between 5 to 10° temperature in the garage. It can also greatly reduce bugs and wasp nests who have free access to your garage. A properly sealed garage door will not only have a rubber seal that meets the concrete, but will also have a seal that is mounted to the cased opening to seal the top and both sides of your door. This is a very inexpensive way to combat the cold weather. So say goodbye to the rodents and bugs, and hello to a nicely sealed garage door opening. Give us a call at Green Eagle Garage Door company, and we can do a free estimate for you!

Economic Contribution of Arts and Culture in the UK Reaches New Level
The Arts Council of England has today published the results of a new study commissioned from the Centre for Economic and Business Research. The study uses data from the Office for National Statistics and surveys carried out with arts and culture organisations and shows an increased contribution by the arts sector to the economy.
The report, titled Contribuion of the Arts and Culture Industry to the UK Economy, measures the economic 'footprint' of the arts and culture industry in terms of direct, indirect and wider impacts. These include jobs created by the industry and the effect on communities where arts employees spend their earnings.
Findings from the report highlight that the industry's economic contribution to the UK is now worth £10.8 billion, overtaking the agricultural sector's £10.09 billion, and which roughly equates to the overall contribution of cities such as Liverpool and Sheffield.
Chair of Arts Council England, Sir Nicholas Serota, said:
Latest figures show arts and culture is a thriving industry delivering huge benefits for our economy. Public investment in the arts is fuelling local regeneration across the country, pushing skills and talent to the commercial sector, and driving the world class reputation of our creative industries.
In 2016, the arts and culture directly generated £21.2 billion in turnover and provided 137,250 jobs. It also supplies a further £23 billion and 363,700 jobs through supply chains and spending by employees.
The study also shows that the average weekly spend by UK citizens on arts and culture rose by 22.9%, from £59.70 in 2006 to £73.35 in 2016.
Additionally, it was found that some sectors, such as book publishing and sound recording/music publishing have higher levels of economic productivity – for example, total GVA (Gross Value Added) of £98,000 and £100,000 respectively in comparison to a £62,000 industry average. The overall economy's average is £47,000.

Dive Brief:
- University of California at Berkeley Chancellor Nicholas Dirks says public flagship institutions remain the most vital element to states providing for the public good.
- Research from public institutions spurs state development in the sciences, liberal arts and economics, with investment returns which may be long-term, but immeasurably valuable to public growth and productivity.
- The public mission of granting college access to a broad range of students represents the best of what states can do to eliminate disparities among varying socioeconomic groups of people.
Dive Insight:
Flagship public institutions are typically one of the major employers in any given state, offering economic development to cities which surround them, civic pride by way of athletics, and research to suit states' economic imperatives.
But these schools continue to face financial uncertainty, even with the improvement of the national economy. Health care costs for states and higher education cuts will continue to demand new business approaches for public institutions, and with pressure from the federal government to diversify revenue streams, colleges will need to maintain close ties with legislative and corporate allies to ensure that academic contributions to the public good remain compatible with building the workforce and improving communities.

Saint Jerome's "Against Jovinianus" and "Apologetical Work to Pammachius"
This codex contains two works by Saint Jerome, Adversus Jovinianus (Against Jovinianus) and Apologeticum ad Pammachium (Apologetical work for Pammachius). The latter consists of two letters that refer to Adversus Jovinianus. Written in 393, the main work is a polemical diatribe against the monk Jovinianus, who had asserted the equality of virginity and marriage. Following a treatise on marriage by the Roman author Seneca that is now lost, Jerome defends the Christian ideal of virginity while at the same time excoriating earlier pagan morals and ideas. Pammachius was a Roman senator, who in later life devoted himself to charitable works and study. That the volume was used in a classroom setting can be deduced from entries in the margins of the manuscript, which apparently were intended to facilitate the reading of the book, and from notes concerning details of grammar and content. A middle level of calligraphic sophistication is typical of this type of literature; the number of decorated initials is usually very limited. The decoration used in this volume, namely initials decorated with knot work, is typical of the Freising scriptorium under Bishop Abraham (died 994). The same type of decoration is also found in a number of codices copied in a monastery at Metz for Freising.

There are a number of reasons for dressing in disguises on Purim. The simplest one is that it is a remembrance and thanksgiving of how G-d saved us while still staying anonymous. How behind the scenes G-d caused a miracle. G-d was "masked," so to speak — disguised as "nature" — so we also disguise ourselves, to remember this.
Another reason is to highlight the concept that even the Gentiles disguised themselves, pretending to be Jews. The Megillah thus says: "And many of the people of the land professed themselves to be Jewish, for the fear of the Jews had fallen upon them." (8:17) They pretended to convert to Judaism, but didn't actually. We know this because the term used in that verse is "misyahadim," — "Judaized," instead of "misgayarim," — "converted."
They merely masqueraded as Jews. Thus, the custom has arisen to masquerade ourselves on Purim, to commemorate the miracle, whereby a complete turnabout caused the Gentiles to fear us and not kill us, as they had originally planned.

There have been a pair of new swans checking out the estuary in the last couple of days. Penny disappeared for the entire day on Sunday leaving Duke to defend the territory.
It seems I named him well after John Wayne, for he tackled the two young swans himself when they ventured up to the Merryton bridge.
Pouncing on the back of one, he grabbed it by the back of the neck and paddled at the same speed as it tried to escape. Eventually he let it go and both the youngsters headed back to sea.
Penny returned yesterday which is the anniversary of Popeye's demise last year. Perhaps she flew off to check on last years brood, she looks stunning in her new plumage.

Anthony Explains Why the Fall Housing Market Has Changed on Fox 25 News
Fall is the second busiest time in the housing market, but Realtors are seeing quite a change with how things are actually shaping up. With some important information all buyers and sellers need to know about here to break it all down is Anthony Lamacchia with Lamacchia Realty . Thank you for being here this morning.
Thank you
People think spring and summer are the best times to get on the market and sell your house or your condo but fall is the next busiest.
Yeah fall is usually the second busiest time of year and it's looking like it's going to shape up that way but it is different than the spring market.
Why what's the deal?
There are a lot more homes on the market. There were 31% less homes in March than there are right now. There are 27,000 homes on the market in Massachusetts now and there were 18,000 in March. And the same thing in Boston, Boston is up 52% since March.
What's behind something like that, any idea?
I think that for starters it was an unusual slow summer and I don't know if that's because more people went on vacation or another factor, but I know it is sellers are starting to get a little crazy with their pricing, they're starting to see what their neighbors' homes are sold for in the spring and summer and they're saying oh well I want more, or more than that. The thing that sellers need to look at is not necessarily when a home sold, the actual sold date but when it went under agreement.
I see ok.
For example if a home sold in July if that contract was signed in April when inventory was much, much lower, it's a totally different market.
So great time for buyers then.
Yes it is
So if they want to get out there what do they need to know
If you're a buyer you have a better selection now than you've had in 2 years. The last time inventory was this high was right around the same time 2 years ago in 2012. All the buyers who've been screaming and mad about not having any inventory to look at–
Get out there!
Get out there because it is a good time.
So mortgage applications are way down so obviously there's a lot on the market and people aren't buying so what do you think it's going to take for people to get out there and start snapping things up?
Don't get me wrong I don't think there's no demand, there are buyers out there, the demand and the buyer activity is definitely up since August, I found it unusually slow in August but it is definitely busier, but the problem is so far, and we're early here in September it's only the 15th, so far it does not seem like enough buyer activity to eat up all the homes that have come on the market.
There should still be plenty of inventory
There should be
Any different between condos and houses I know sometimes we say,
Same thing, when you look at Boston, 44% more condos on the market today than there were 6 months ago so it's definitely a world of change. You know if you're looking to sell this fall you have to be realistic.
It's hard!
Of course it is! But not only do sellers need to look at sold statistics but this is one of those rare times they need to pay attention to how many homes they're competing with. And they really need to think about that. If there are 8 homes in your neighborhood that are on the market that are similar to yours you've got to beat them somehow. You need to look better than theirs, and your price should be better as well and then yours will sell first.
Ok so let's say you're putting your house on the market now it's the fall, and you're worried about moving into the winter and not a lot of people are biting on your property, when do you know when it's the right time to lower the price?
We say that most of the time we know if the price is right or wrong within 21 days. In times like August when the whole market was slow, you need to have a little more patience. But if your home has been on the market 2 or 3 weeks and it's not getting the activity that it should or you haven't received any offers, by the 3rd week or 4th week you need to strongly consider a price adjustment and also a real adjustment; sometimes you see sellers who make an adjustment—
Exactly. You took the words right out of my mouth– house is on the market for $400,000 and it's not selling and they say let's try $395,000. Well that doesn't cut it.
What if you start too high to begin with? That's another downfall too?
It definitely is. What I meant by sellers need to pay special attention to when the home went under contract because if the neighbors' house sold for $400,000 in July, and it went under agreement in April, doesn't necessarily mean that their house will sell for $400,000 now. Where there's much more inventory and much more to choose from, you may need to price a little bit lower. You want buyers to be attracted to your home.
So conversely if you're going to buy and you see a price and you think it's way too high how do you know what's insulting and what's a reasonable first offer?
And here's the thing, buyers don't necessarily usually care about what's insulting– they don't! It's true, think about it, when you bought a home you didn't say well gee I don't want to insult them.
Buyers want a good deal.
Exactly! Buyers care about paying what it's worth. It's no different than a product at a store. When there's a sale the buyers flock to it. Same thing.
Ok interesting stuff Anthony. Thanks for having us thanks for being with us!
No problem thanks for having me!

About Us
Offers full day care for children aged 6wks-5yrs.
Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Isaacs is a 90 place centre located in a residential pocket of Canberra, close to schools and shops as well as transport links.
We care for and educate children from six weeks of age to five years of age.
Our play based, stimulating curriculum is based on the Early Years' Learning Framework and our rooms – from Nursery to Kindergarten / Preschool – are all geared with this in mind. We also develop colourful, engaging programs accounting for each child's individual interests, needs and strengths; and with each step we are ensuring the children are ready to take the big step into schooling.
This is made simpler through our intuitive Storypark platform, which enables us to maintain consistent and clear communications with families. That means we are better placed to support a child in their learning journey, ensure parents have peace of mind, and time stamp the children's developments, milestones and achievements.
Outside, our playground areas are a balance of natural and manmade elements and play surfaces. We have carefully designed and planned spaces to encourage a stronger understanding of the environment and sustainability – while giving children the scope to explore, play and let their imaginations roam.
Our yard is split into three areas which allows all of the children to explore and play safely and with age appropriate toys and equipment.
We have a fully qualified chef who prepares fresh nutritionally based meals daily with dietary requirements cater for.
Community is also important to us and through visits to the centre and participation in events and activities throughout the year we are able to enrich the learning experience. Art and music experiences are provided on a daily basis which allow the children to freely express their creativity.
Come in and see for yourself how we can help give your child the best start in life – and give you peace of mind! We would love the chance to show you around.

In my last post I built a multiple AA battery tester but it used the 5V as a voltage reference which wasn't ideal and was giving readings that were good but could be better. I modified the code to use the 1.1V internal reference of the Mega328 MCU to calculate the actual 5V supply voltage and this has proved to be much better. Voltages measured by the Arduino are now within 10mV when compared with a calibrated DVM.
As far as the battery tester goes this will produce a more accurate mAh rating and a couple of tests show that battery capacity is now within 100mAh instead of the 250mAh as it was before. These measurements were taken at the load resistors as the battery holders and wiring produced a voltage drop between 30 and 110mV which at 550mA load current is fairly acceptable. If you wish to build this project please refer to my previous post as all the build details are in there. I will also put the latest firmware download on the project post as well.
Issues to resolve – spurious voltages displayed when no battery present. Does not affect operation but will look into resolving this.

1990's Indie Rock
December 10, 2010 by Ryan
Indie Rock music is a genre founded by musicians who tend to want to break away from the "mainstream music" leading and creating their own genre. This music started underground, some bands to this date are still known for keeping a low key and staying out of the spotlight. Some particular Indie Rock bands don't even have a "label"; they prefer to keep themselves separated from being committed to record labels. Indie rock bands try to maintain complete control of the music they put out, and they manage their own careers. Indie Rock musicians who prevail do not do so by being signed by a huge record label, but through word of mouth. The band would be hitting the streets, booking their own shows at venues, handing out demos to friends or concert goers, etc. The main purpose of "Indie" is for bands to make it and be on their own. Underground bands try to get airplay, whether it's on college radio or an independent station. The clothing styles that represent Indie Rock come off as people who are poor; the clothing has a look of being old and worn, especially the jeans. Most indie musicians sport jeans that are ripped and torn. The styles of hair varies, men sport messy, long, squiggly hair. Everyone in an indie band tend to look as if they just woke up. Getting back to the roots of "Indie Rock", the message of the songs usually dealt with tapping into one's inner emotions. The songs can also have subliminal messages in the lyrics if one pays close attention and catches it. The messages can be a metaphor for love, betrayal, fear, etc.Brad Laner, \"June Gloom\"The link is to one of my personal favorite Indie Rock musicians. I spoke about this artist on Monday.

Why I voted to leave the EU... and regret it now!
In his own words, Jon Grant, a 41-year-old Labour Leave voter from Essex, explains why he did vote to leave the European Union on 23 June 2016 and why he now absolutely regrets it.
Can you help us get to Brussels?We're trying to send #RemainerNow to Brussels to tell MEPs from across Europe stories like these - there are thousands more people who have changed their mind since 2016, and our friends in Europe need to know - will you chip into our crowdfunder and help us get there?
Quite a few people have asked me why I voted to leave the EU. Although I don't feel like I have to explain myself, there are a couple of things I think people fail to acknowledge about the Brexit vote.
Over 30% of Labour voters voted to leave and about 20% of Green party voters did the same. Not all leave voters are UKIP or even remotely right wing. I am a Labour voter and sit firmly on the left of the political spectrum.
Nobody knew what would happen if we voted to leave the EU. There was so much nonsense, from both sides, that it was virtually impossible to be "well informed" about Brexit.
Right or wrong, here are some of my reasons for voting for Brexit:
I was actually of the opinion that free movement of persons was actually the free movement of cheap labour and that it was driving down wages across Europe. I now actually realise that this is more down to business taking advantage of migrant workers and that my blame was misdirected.
I thought "free movement of persons, like it or not, does add extra strain to public services (try getting an appointment at the quacks)."
It took me a while to realise that this strain has been caused by years of under-funding by successive governments.
After years of disillusionment with politics I liked what Jeremy Corbyn was standing for. He was a well known eurosceptic, so that was good enough for me.
Now I realise even good people can be wrong.
Once I started to lean towards leaving, I found that I tended to end up reading more and more negative stories about the EU.
Social media are very good at confirming bias without you realising that this is what is happening.
My most embarrassing reason, but I think if Leave voters are honest they may agree: Protest vote. Cameron and Osborne were poisonous to the remain campaign.
After years of austerity and watching the way they treated vulnerable and poor people, I couldn't bring myself to side with them.
The Brexit vote was a Conservative indulgence and the Tories got nearly all the coverage in the run up to the vote. You could vote with Cameron and Osborne who were forcing austerity onto people, or you could vote with Boris Johnson who seemed like a harmless buffoon. Little did we know.
One more thing. I was absolutely 100% convinced that we wouldn't leave (even if we won the vote). I thought the European Union would make some concessions and that a deal would be struck to keep us in.
Since there were too many responses to this thread on Twitter to answer individually, I wanted to say that:
I appreciate all the comments;
I didn't write this piece for sympathy;
I didn't write it to justify myself;
I voted Leave;
I wish I hadn't;
I think we should have another vote;
I would vote to Remain.
