. Today, the firm announced that this vaunted Reputation system basically isn't even live yet. Which explains why Xbox Live is still such a cesspool, I guess. What I've noticed in the months since Xbox One launched is that finding a place where you can report abuses is actually harder on the Xbox One than it was on the 360. And so I've grinded my teeth, and just sucked it up. I've actually stopped reporting the crazy, awful stuff and I see and hear on Xbox Live because the Xbox One is so broken.
Reputation is actually there today on Xbox One, of course. You can see a player's reputation on their Gamecard. Here's mine (it's "good," which is the highest score):
It is ponderously slow to load someone's Gamercard on Xbox One (the interface remains in molasses, just like the 360), but I went through a dozen or so of my friends' Gamercards, and everyone is "good." As I'd expect. They're my friends. But I know Reputation doesn't work currently because I'm constantly saddled in online games with jerks. With gabbers and singers. With racists. With cheaters. You know. Same as ever.
Meanwhile, players who "do not heed warnings and continue to have a negative impact on other players and the Xbox Live community will begin to experience penalties," Microsoft claims. For example, people with an "Avoid Me" rag.
That's neat. But for this to work, it needs to be easy to report transgressions. These needs to be actually viewed—I assume everything is recorded now—and action needs to be taken. People who report things need feedback, good feedback. And people who provide fake or superficial reports need to be edged into the "Avoid Me" area as well.
Will this system work? I have to be honest: I seriously doubt it. I no longer trust Xbox to do the right thing. But I'm absolutely not going to sit through another console generation of abuse online. If Microsoft doesn't fix Xbox Live—really fix Xbox Live—I'm out. I pay for this service, Microsoft. I expect it to work for me, not against me.
PS: Just to head off the obvious, someone will mention, no doubt, that it's just as bad on PlayStation. Maybe it is. But you know what? There's only one way to find out for sure. </s> Felipe Vellasco

How to grow your own band
Written on Jun 20
With a love of language almost as strong as her love of music, Karen has written hundreds of thousands of words for newspapers, magazines and radio. Most of them have been published.
She first made it into print as a nine-year-old when her poem about the village shop was on the front page of her local paper. It took more than a decade for Karen to make it onto the front page again, this time as a news reporter for a local weekly tabloid. A career in magazine feature writing followed, along with scripts for national radio, and for many years she has performed the creative double act of being both a writer of words and a writer of songs. In 2010 Karen’s outwardly successful, professional life received a blow; she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
Telling the moving,recovered from MS, this book is helping to change the way the disease is viewed, and providing hope to all who have been diagnosed.

So, fresh off my too-long list of things to be thankful for, I'm making an effort to keep the true Gift Giver front and center this upcoming Holiday season. After all, not only did God give the skills and talents that lead to income, presents, houses, decorations, and travel…
What about you?How do you keep your sanity during the countdown to Christmas?Are you a shop-early planner or a last-minute rusher?What traditions do you have to keep Jesus in the center of Christmas?

I was hypnotized by the brightly colored and totally embarassing uniforms they have to wear at that place and the thought of fresh-squeezed lemonade because lately I have been making good food decisions otherwise (case in point - I didn't buy any candy for the movies or get a Mrs. Fields cookie even though I really wanted to). So Clara totally ate her first corndog for dinner after watching her first movie in a movie theater. Clara salvaged the day by sucking down a squeezy-pouch of spinach & peas (she's my healthy little eater) but otherwise, today was a mom-fail kinda day.
Ugh, car repairs and missed naps - two of my least favorite things! Sounds like you guys made the best of it though (except for maybe the hot dog on a stick part).
(That's my favorite thing to get there, by the way.)
You are hardly a bad mom. It sounds like a kids dream day. I hate car stuff, it always seems to take longer, and cost more than you expect. Can't wait to hear about your big trip.
Was it Skip's or Goodyear? We had a problem with Skip's a frw years back and never went back. If you are looking for a good honest mechanic for next time I have one.
Yeah was it Skips? I recently took my car there and same thing - it will take 1-2 hours. Took the kids to lunch, then to the bouncy place at the mall. Figured after that it couldn't be too much longer so went back to Skips only to have to wait 2 more hours! I had Camille, Mark, and Allison with me...yeah that was fun in that tiny room. Finally around 5:30 they were finally done. But wait a few days later when I took it to our regular mechanic they had sheared off one of the bolts on the wheel. So back to Skips to make them fix that. We definately will not be going back there. </s>

This new plan will help ; the critical ingredient is political commitment". The President of the Conference, Mr. Yoshitaka Murata of Japan, said " these five days spent in Kobe will make a real difference in the way we look at hazards, at risk and vulnerability, and that we all truly engage on the road for a safer world."

It also matters whether the market is moving steadily or violently i.e. if it is volatile or calm. Market volatility is not constant, and that can have a considerable impact on your psychology and success.
Up in a steady manner
Down in a steady manner
Sideways in a steady manner
Up in a volatile manner
Down in a volatile manner
Sideways in a volatile manner
Sometimes you will hear different markets classified by their “usual” behaviour e.g. commodities “tend to trend strongly”, stocks “tend to mean revert”. Different assets are viewed as more volatile or riskier than others. Just as important, though, is recognizing that all markets cycle through the six different states over time: Soybeans might be more volatile than Treasury Bonds overall, but it is just as interesting that Soybeans were more volatile in June than they were in April. Volatility is nothing if not cyclical.

Taking The Red Pill: All Fundamental Data Is Wrong
Let us start with company-provided information. If the history of public corporations tells you anything, it is that anything a corporation tells you should be treated as a lie. Sometimes it is deliberately misleading, sometimes it obscures the truth, and sometimes it just lies to your face. If you do not believe me, then I point you to some of those who were caught: Enron and Lehman Bros stick in the mind, but the list is long.
Here is how the auditors look at the world: They think of themselves and their legal liability issues first; if it’s in the rule book and disclosed, you are covered. Second, they think of their clients. The client asked them to do something, and they want to please the client. A very distant third is they may occasionally ask: How does this look from the perspective of the investor? Investors would be astounded if they realized that this is how the party that is supposed to protect them views the world.
I use fundamental analysis every day. It can be an important part of the trading process. However, I treat all fundamental data with a strong pinch of cynicism, a healthy sense of skepticism and a highly-refined BS Detector. When placing my own money at risk, I think it is better to see the world as it is, rather than how I might want it to be.
* I think that people are attracted to conspiracy theories because they find comfort and security in the notion that someone is in charge, rather than accepting that most things happen due to random chance.
The Fisherman And The Hypothesis
Fishermen and scientists are wrong a lot. As a trader, you should expect to be wrong, to be wrong often, and occasionally you will be spectacularly wrong. Michael Jordan has a fabulous perspective on the subjectSearching for the winning trade is a process of casting, failing and re-casting until the fish is hooked. The successful fisherman will cast and fail more times than the novice fisherman who gives up and goes home early. The successful trader will lose more often than the unsuccessful trader, precisely because the unsuccessful trader does not stay in the game.
Tim Harford describes how a complex problem can be resolved by an approach that incorporates a willingness to experiment:
Besides being pretty much the opposite of how government works, this concept is directly applicable to trading: Try lots of different things, make sure that all the things you try are small enough to not blow you up if they go wrong, and check regularly to see if these things are workfortable with failure. I fail everyday, more than once. But that is okay because it is part of a process of progression. Seriously trying for success requires exposing yourself to the risk of failure. Expecting to succeed without experiencing failure is naive. Experiencing failure is fine, as long as it is part of a process that leads to success. The fisherman knows that, and so does the successful trader.

Market Move Through Pain
There are all sorts of things that move markets: shifting fundamentals, technical pivots, valuation changes, macro events, market sentiment, news flow… But in my experience the most extreme market moves are about pain, and nothing else. Valuation and long-term analysis flies out the window as the margin clerks run amok and the market searches for liquidity.
The answer to the riddle of market direction can often be answered by asking, “Where is max pain?” (If your answer is, “In Sao Paulo, searching for redemption”, then you have been playing too many video games). The market will tend to move in the direction that causes most pain for most people.
I have been in the room where experienced, intelligent, wealthy traders have said “I believe our fundamental analysis, but this is too much pain. I have to exit the position.” This is after days and weeks of saying “The market will prove us right eventually. It doesn’t matter where the market goes in the meantime” and even “I’d love the market to go against us, because then we can add more”.
If you read my post on the Averaging Down Clown, you will know how I feel about that last statement. But the point here is a broader one about being clear about your ability to stay in a position. It is very good practice to decide on a stop-loss point before you enter a trade, and to stick to it. Deciding on how and when to stop out after you enter a trade is much more difficult, since you will have all sorts of emotional difficulties and hang ups to deal with.
In some ways, it is the job of the market to seek out the weak longs and weak shorts, and to test their resolve. There are certainly trading professionals whose business model relies on this: in all time frames from HFT to weekly and monthly patterns, there are traders who will attempt to “run the stops”, to find pain and to force people out at the worst possible moment. Even if there is not someone explicitly doing that, markets seem to move in that manner anyway.
Have you ever stopped out at the bottom of a move and had the market trade right back up? I have, many times. It is incredibly frustrating. You say “Oh man, I can’t believe I stopped out at the bottom. If only I could have held on a little longer.”
But here is the thing: you have the logic the wrong way around. You did not stop out at the bottom. It was the bottom because you stopped out. If you had not stopped out, that would not have been the bottom: the market would have kept on moving against you until you stopped out. It was searching for the pain of the weakest, and today it was you.
Markets move through pain. Work out how much pain you are willing to take before you jump in. Be honest with yourself about how much pain you could tolerate and expect the worst, since the market will test you just when you are least able to cope. Otherwise, you run the risk of being half an hour into the poker game, still wondering who the patsy is.

“Every morning you wake up and you have ten more reasons to be mad.”
A study of the troubled lives of teenagers in the suburbs of Paris, “La Haine” is at the root of Kassovitz’s international fame and won him Best Director at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival. Another box office hit was his directing work for the thriller “Les Rivières Pourpres” (international title: “The Crimson Rivers”) in 2000, with actors Jean Reno and Vincent Cassel, a close personal friend of his, in the lead. In 2003, Kassovitz came to Hollywood for the first time for the filming of the horror movie “Gothika”. His latest film was “Babylon AD”, starring Vin Diesel. Unfortunatly, the version which the studio released to the cinemas was heavily edited and did not follow his visionCarhartt?
Well back in the day, when I was involved with hip hop culture, I was looking for clothes that I could wear all the time – clothes which were multifunctional. The Carhartt trousers, for instance, have a lot of pockets, which is good for graffiti guys and also for people who work in movies because you always carry lots of things around. Carhartt has always had very low-key clothes and, at that time, you had to hunt for them. There were no Carhartt stores and it was difficult to get them. The jacket I bought back then fit me like nothing else; that’s why I still have it. It is my second skin, in a way. I put my arms in it and I don’t feel it. You can sleep in it, you can get it muddy, use it for helping an old lady over the street. I have always used it for my dog. I travel with my dog and he always needs a place where I know he can feel secure. Whenever I go somewhere, I put my jacket on the ground so my dog can sleep on it. That’s his spot. There’s a strong bond between me, my dog, and that jacket because my dog can smell me on it and I can smell him too. He loves the jacket. The jacket is better then the real bed. That’s why I said yes when Carhartt called me for a shoot. But I said I would do it only when I could do the pictures in my jacket.
And do you still wear it?
Sure, always. At the moment I can’t wear it because it’s too hot. But I have it with me all the time. In the “La Haine” books you can see me wearing it; and for every other shoot around the world I wore it, too.
Nobody ever told you to buy yourself a new jacket?
That was my culture and it still is today. When I was twelve or 13 I was always listening to punk music and hardcore fight music. “No future for the queen” and all that. And then hip hop came up and they had the same state of mind and attitude. Even Malcolm McLaren, the man who started the Sex Pistols, did hip hop with the song “Double Dutch”. The funny thing is that all the guys I met through hip hop listened to funk and soul, but I came from punk music. That was quite a different approach, but the content was the same.
Did you ever meet Malcolm McLaren?
He just died in Paris some weeks ago. Did he? I didn’t know. But he had fucking good ideas – amazing. Crazy businessman! But, then, you could see the same things that he did with the Sex Pistols happening in hip hop. Like with N.W.A. – a guy took five guys from the ghetto and said: “Okay, we’re going to market this.” Niggaz Wit Attitudes was the same as Sex Pistols, well, almost. Their message was: “Fuck everybody! We are not role models and we are not pleasant people to be around.” I loved that.
It’s just that I like things with a fighting spirit, with a political background. And then, for sure, the fun of it! Hip hop was much more fun in the beginning.
Huge. It has the biggest hip hop culture after the USA. Then comes the UK and Germany, I think. The USA is more productive in hip hop than England. We in France started it in Europe. When it started in New York it came directly to France. We had a one-hour hip hop show called “H.I.P. H.O.P” already in 1984 on TF1, France’s main TV channel! One hour every week, and everybody was there, like Afrika Bambaataa and The Sugarhill Gang. Also the MTV show “Yo! MTV Raps” was originally invented by a French girl. In France, we still have ten major acts, like Suprême NTM, who fill stadiums. We have Diam’s, a female rapper who sells millions, also Booba, and other young kids, who still do it. It’s crazy how much is still made in France.
No. I like the film and, I must say, it is my best, so I have no problem if somebody wants to talk about it. But I did another important movie, for me, “Assassin(s)”, which is a very very intense movie about the media. But it’s not as perfect as “La Haine”. “La Haine” was perfect. The timing, the actors, the script – it was all great. That doesn’t happen all the time. Usually, all artists, unless they’re geniuses, do their best work in the beginning. For a painter or a sculptor, it might be different because they move through periods. But, usually, the beginnings are the strongest. Then you start to make money, and then it becomes a job, and then it is corrupted. Only the geniuses can keep up the good work all the time.
So you would say you are not a genius?
Let’s say I try my best. It’s not about whether or not I succeed, but that anything I do, I try to do it the best I can. Maybe in ten years I will be better, but all I do now I do with all the power and skills I have. That doesn’t mean that you have to be perfect. But I always want to be able to say later: “In that moment, I could not do better.” I’m not Orson Welles. He is the perfect example. His first movies were amazing and he created what cinema is today. But, of course, he was so good at the beginning that it was hard to keep it up on that level. Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, and all other big directors have the same story. Or you happen to be Steven Spielberg and can make one good movie after another. But, in his case, it’s because he stays young. He is a grown-up kid and he knows his business. He perfected his craft and he isn’t scared to do what he wants.
You acted in his movie, “Munich”. How was that?
Great. He has a great team and the guys have known him for the past 20 years. But
still, he did shoots I couldn’t have done because I don’t have the experience. If you
take a look at “Munich” and forget about the story, if you just look at how the camera works, you’ll go: “Wow!” When you watch a movie, you generally don’t watch how it’s made. But if you do, and you look at how he composes some of the shots in “Munich”, you’ll discover a mind-blowing technique. You can find that in any of his movies, but “Munich” is special, because none of it was shot in a studio. It’s all in the reflections. It’s hard to do reflections in the mirror of a car, in glasses, or in the eyes of an actor. In “Munich”, Spielberg did some really amazing things with reflections.
It sounds like you have a great deal of respect for his work. Was it an honour to work with him?
Absolutely. I have a big history with him. I’m an actor, also. Other directors started to ask me if I would play in their movies because they saw me in my movies and I often said yes. Then I realised that I could not do both, so I started to work only with directors I liked, so I could learn from them. I was lucky that I could act for great directors like Constantin Costa Gavras, Luc Besson, and Jacques Audiard. After that, I decided to focus on my own movies. But people continued to ask me to act in their movies. So I had to go to the media and officially announce that I was quitting my job as an actor: “I’m done! Unless Steven Spielberg calls me.” I meant that as a joke, but multiple magazines printed it. Some weeks later, I got a phone call and somebody told me: “You need to go to this place at this hour.” I thought they were kidding, but I went anyway, and there he was, Steven Spielberg. Of course, I said yes. Imagine you’re a painter and somebody asks you: “Hey, do you want to work with Renoir or Picasso and just mix colours for him for two months?” Well, of course you’d say yes, because you can sit there and watch him doing his art. So I could do that with Steven Spielberg. I always went to the set, even if I had nothing to do, just to watch. But you were only working with him as an actor, right? Of course. He was the director, I was his actor. I never went up to him and said: “Hey, Steven, you have to move the camera.” But he did often ask me for my opinion. And I would say (very shyly): “Steven, what do you want me to say? It’s beautiful…” I was lucky to work with him. I’d be so happy if I had worked with him on “War of the Worlds”, but “Munich” was great. The movie could be a little bit more radical, because sometimes it’s too much Hollywood, but it was one of his most ambitious projects. He had the whole Jewish community watching him. We had high-level security on the set, with guys in the back who didn’t talk and just watched to make sure everything was safe. The Jewish community was scared of what he would say about the Mossad. But he didn’t say too much. He makes his main point at the end of the movie, when you see the Twin Towers. The movie was shot after 9/11. That’s why he made the movie in the first place. Because, he said, all this hate between the two camps ended in the fall of the Twin Towers.
Did you get along with the cast of “Munich”?
Sure. Just before he got the role as James Bond, Daniel Craig asked me: “Shall I do it?” I said: “Come on, man. You will be James Bond! You’re going to get free watches, free Aston Martin cars, free suits. Anywhere you go it’s going to be in luxury. And you’ll always shoot at nice locations. Everybody will love you. You’ll be an icon! But you won’t be able to go to McDonald’s anymore.”
Can you still go to McDonald’s in Paris?
I can go, like, by myself.stop being an actor. At some point you just get too famous and you can’t live a normal life anymore. Now, people recognise me only when I just have a movie out or when I was on the television the night before. Otherwise they just look at me and say: “What school did you go to?” But I didn’t go to school.
You dropped out early?
I stopped at 17 in order to start working on movies. The point is, I already knew what I wanted, even then, so it doesn’t matter. And I wasn’t good at school; so it was good that I left.
Did your father influence your decision to become a filmmaker?
Yes, sure. I got my passion from my father, but also from my mother. She’s an editor and I spent a lot of time in the editing room playing with reel film. So it’s no mystery why I became a director. I spent all my youth in movie theatres – that’s another reason why I didn’t go to school. Back in the day, there were no VCRatre, there was no other way of seeing it. If you missed a movie, the only other chance was to catch it on TV
five years later. We had three channels back then. Some of them were mono, some black-and-white. If you were lucky, your parents had a colour TV. But if you really wanted to see movies, you had to go to cinema. And I spent days there. I watched films one after the other.
Why should I watch ‘Spiderman 12’, if there are no real actors in it and anything is possible anyway?
Would you say that growing up an avid moviegoer influenced your filmmaking? In “La Haine”, Vincent Cassel quotes directly from the famous “You talkin’ to me?” scene from “Taxi Driver”.
Yes, but this is more than just quoting “Taxi Driver”. Of course it’s a reference to the movie, but we all did this as kids, even those who never saw “Taxi Driver”. Who didn’t stand in front of a mirror saying: “Are you looking at me? You got a problem?” when they were twelve or 15? Even today, people still do it. So it’s more than a quote, it’s a reference to reality. But to answer your question, I learned a lot from watching movies all the time that I tried to imitate. I tried to be Bruce Willis all
In “La Haine” many of the characters only wear specific brands of clothing. Hubert, for instance, only wears Carhartt. Is there any symbolism in these choices?
The young people in the ghettos here in France wore very specific sportswear brands at that time. I remember when I came to the housing project where we shot “La Haine” for the first time. I wore a baseball cap, and I saw kids looking at me as if they wanted to hit me. They didn’t like the American look. They wanted European brands, so they wore Adidas or Sergio Tacchini. That’s why Saïd is wearing one. The golden Tacchini was made for him because the effect was better in black-and-white. The golden Tacchini was very nice!
But if there was hostility toward American clothing in Paris at the time, why would Hubert wear Carhartt? It is an American brand.
Yes. Also, Hubert is more of a hip hop guy. That’s why he wears the big bomber jacket and the baggy pants, while Vinz wears a flight jacket and tight 501 Jeans, which is more like a pusher outfit. You didn’t want to look too flashy – more chic. That also applies to the Burberry they wear. The Tacchini dress was, then, more for the young guys from the ghetto who were more in your face. Vinz is more of a serious pusher who doesn’t like guys who wear hip hop clothes. Saïd is very chic in his Tacchini trainers; they were the Rolls-Royce of trainers at that time. Hubert is more the kind of guy who minds his own business, who isThat’s why he wears Carhartt. And it had to be Carhartt because the French brands that made work clothes were just making the “bleu de travail”, an overall suit in blue that isn’t very sexy. But Carhartt did make working clothes which were fucking awesome and sexy. And, if you were a hip hopper at the time and bought yourself a Naughty By Nature record, you saw that those guys wore the same clothes on the cover. Also, the price was low and the quality was good. They were strong clothes and multifunctional, and that’s what hip hop is. At the beginning, it wasn’t a fashion statement. Carhartt clothes were just very very useful. It only became a fashion statement later. Because when you put on a beanie and Carhartt trousers, you looked like a tank. It became something else. Even in hip hop. You had Public Enemy, who wore 501s, a bomber jacket, a baseball cap, and sneakers. Or you had Naughty by Nature or Das EFX, who wore work clothes and dressed in Carhartt. I never liked the bling-bling thing, so Carhartt was the right choice for me and for a character like Hubert.
It’s interesting how you describe clothing as having a tough cultural image, especially in the context of your work. You seem to be a fan of the “tough guy” attitude.
Go to my Facebook site and you know that I like that. I can’t stop being a fighter. Just a few days ago I talked to a friend and I said: “‘La Haine’ is not just a title. It stands for me, my life, and my attitude toward all the things happening in the world.”
Depends on the movie. If I work on a movie like “Gothica” I’m just there to do somebody else’s film. But if I do a project like “Babylon AD” I’m concerned about the problems of the world. “Babylon AD” was a very strong project with a very strong script. That’s why I was so mad and fucked-up after what happened to it. Especially the American version is crap. I was mad because we had something to say. It was not just about explosions and Vin Diesel. But you can’t tell that anymore from the finished product. I usually put my anger in my movies. In my next one you’ll see what I mean. The one I’m doing now is called “Rebellion”. And the one after that is called “Dust Motion”; it’s a very ambitious, high-end science fiction movie. Very tricky. It’s a “Matrix”-like movie with virtual environments.
You once said in an interview that movies like “Les Rivières Pourpres” are not the movies you like to do. Why?
Because this movie passes up a strong subject. It’s just a thriller. There’s this little bit there with this dream of an Arian nation by the Nazi guys, but that’s it. I love to watch this kind of movie. Movies like “Gothica”, too. I also like to make them. But I really prefer to have a subject to fight for. It’s amazing to scare people. For a director it’s great to do scary scenes. But I need more than just thrills. I find it difficult if I can only do scary scenes. Making a movie is a very demanding process. So, as long as you’re going to lose weight and go insane while doing it, it should be for something that matters. I don’t do it just to make people laugh.
Yes, but I don’t think that directors are artists. I am just one guy, but there are 50 people on the set, plus the actors. I can’t do it alone.
Those guys made art. They consider themselves artists. They get messages through in their films, but they have different ways of making them. I’m very interested in the technical part of making movies and in the political. Also, storytelling is very important. But I’m not interested in the “movie experience,” if you know what I mean. I don’t want to do movies where you need an instruction manual. I have nothing against being intellectual, as long as you also do something that entertains people. As a moviegoer, I want to be entertained, but I also want to learn something, get something that stays. When I saw “Matrix” for the first time, I was amazed. Then I watched it again and thought: “Wow! This is smart.” Then I watched it again and said: “This is not just smart, it’s much more than that. These guys are right.” If you actually look at the politics in France, with all the affairs around our President Sarkozy, then you know that “Matrix” deals with true problems. We actually have a crisis with the government. Germany has too and England also. When things like this happen, I believe you must do movies that make people think. You can make them laugh, but best would be to do both, like Charlie Chaplin or Billy Wilder. But only very few blessed people can achieve this. I try, but I don’t get it all the time.
So, you believe moviemakers have a responsibility to address political issues?
Do you think people will take to the streets and protest in response to these political problems?
I don’t know. We’ll see how they react. We have demonstrations every week. The French people are very close to the blueprint of democracy, so we’ll make the politicians pay at the next elections. It’s not going to go to the streets. Back in the day, when I used to put on my Carhartt jacket to fight with the cops in Paris in 1986 or 1993, the police looked like regular guys. Today, they look like Robocops. They are very scary and they have powerful weapons. Back in the day, it was one against
But do the same problems still exist in the Parisian ghettos as there were when you shot “La Haine”?
as the people who cry for more cops remain in the government. When the people who cry for more teachers win, maybe something will change.
What are your favourite movies to watch?
I don’t know. I think the most interesting cinema is made in America because it covers a lot of ground; from special effects movies to underground movies with real social commentary. Also, there are a lot of conceptual and artistic movies. Asia is also very open minded and very creative, too. But I’m mostly interested in the American movie culture. And I’m very happy to be a European because then you can have a way out. When you work in Hollywood with a producer like Joel Silver, with whom I did the movie “Gothica”, you can get into trouble. We had a good relationship and I love him, but he’s a very strong-minded guy and a scary producer to work with. Everybody was like: “Wow, Joel Silver, the guy that they put in movies when they want to show a crazy producer.” Like an L.A. version of the Weinstein brothers all mixed in one guy. Very scary. When he started to yell at me: “If you don’t do it like that you will never work in this town again!” I would always look at him, laugh, and say: “I don’t care. I don’t work in this town and I don’t live here.” Then he started to like me because he realised that I could go away. But, if you’re from Hollywood, I think it is true: you will never find work again if he doesn’t want you to. He means it and he can do it.
So you think Hollywood cinema is the best?
If you like movies, and you grew up in the 1980s, they were the best movies you could find. There are the guys who learned from the French Nouvelle Vague and came up with the first blockbusters, like Steven Spielberg with “Jaws”, George Lucas with “Star Wars”, or William Friedkin with “The Exorcist”. The entire period was very creative. You went to the movies to see a horror movie and it was a masterpiece. So, when I was young, I also read all the books that inspired the movies. When I saw “Blade Runner” I r which inspired the movie. After reading the books you thought: “Okay, that is science fiction.” But when you think about those books today, it seems that they were ahead of their time, because everything that happens in the book is happening today in our real world. “1984”, as a book, became real. George Orwell must be spinning in his grave. I think by now he is spinning so much that he must have drilled himself hundreds of meters deep into the earth from thinking:“What’s going on? I can’t be that right.”
Sure. Take Maurice Georges Dantec who wrote the book on which my movie “Babylon AD” is based. The original is a new kind of science fiction – very hardcore, very kinky stuff. It’s a book about – or at least I took it like this – how technology is becoming a new religion, how people need miracles, and how technology can be the ultimate propaganda for these miracles, that you feed the people with technology. That’s what Apple is doing! But they are good. I’m a nerd and I love technology.
And does this love of technology also play into your movies?
Sure. Especially now in the digital era with the digital cameras. Today you can do a movie with a dead actor and it looks like he’s still alive. Citroën recently had an advertising campaign with Marilyn Monroe and John Lennon. You can just do it and also change the way they talk. But, if it comes to that, I’d rather just play the movie on my Playstation. Why should I watch “Spiderman 12” I’d rather be able to interact with it directly.
Take fight scenes for instance. If I go to a movie, I like to see actors. If there are no actors anymore, or just copies of them, then I’d rather want to be part of it. If there’s a 20-minute fight scene that’s made digitally, I feel I should be able to play it, to be part of it. This is something I’m working on. Like the video game “Heavy Rain”, which is a story-based thriller, and you, as a player, need to find the right information to keep the story going. You have to fight enemies and find information. If you don’t win or don’t find the right information, the story changes. This game is based on a 2000-page script. A regular movie has 100 pages. The game offers you multiple endings and multiple ways to get there, and it also looks like a film.
Yes. I’m acting in a movie I’m directing as well, but I’m not planning to act for another director. I’m concentrating on my own work right now because the projects I’m currently working on are very ambitious and I’ve been working on them for years. But I don’t want to talk too much about it. Wait until you can see it in the cinemas and then you’ll know what I mean.

Told in Isabella’s voice, the language of the novel is perfectly pitched to suggest a broadly Victorian setting, in which young gentlewomen certainly do not practice dissection, read scientific books about dragons or get themselves into awkward situations with wild wolf-drakes. Looking back from her later years – in which she has become a well-known dragon naturalist – Isabella remembers her stubborn independence as a young girl and the books, pilfered from her father’s library, which helped to create her obsession with dragons. Beginning with the tiny Sparklings which live wild in the woods, her interest rapidly grows in scale until, as a young woman, she finds herself in the royal menagerie with her brother. Here she meets an eligible young man called Jacob Camherst, who is not only a catch on the marriage-mart but, more importantly, also interested in dragons.
If you like the Temeraire novels, I’m sure you’d also enjoy Brennan’s Natural History. Her alternate world has imagined countries, but is generally mappable onto our own, in that I imagine Isabella’s native Scirland to be England and Vystrana to be Romania or Russia. The mores and values are very much those of the 19th century and you can well imagine Isabella as a lady traveller, expected to travel with parasol and sketchbook and vapours, but actually desperate to climb into caves and observe at close hand. Throughout the book, she challenges the conventional constraints for her sex in a way that makes her immediately relatable: ‘‘. Illustrated with occasional plates from Isabella’s sketchbooks (actually drawn by Todd Lockwood), this is a lovely tongue-in-cheek response to the opinionated books actually produced by Victorian lady travellers (like the real Idle Woman, though her books were more about quaint Italian customs and less about dragons).

It's time for Villa to stop the rot - Luke Young
LUKE Young says Villa will have been simply “wasting their time” in Europe all season if they do not go for a win at CSKA Moscow.
The in-form defender also stresses the importance of Martin O’Neill’s men quickly “stopping the rot” of winless matches after a depressing week.
Villa have already played 11 matches in Europe since tackling Odense in mid-July and head to Moscow with a much-changed squad today for Thursday’s second leg with the tie delicately poised at 1-1.
“I think the lads certainly think it’s a waste of time putting all the effort in last Wednesday if we’re not going to go over there and finish the job,” Young said.
“There’s no point coming in early for pre-season and starting playing games earlier in July to get to this stage and then you don’t have a go.
“Hand maybe we can nick something.”
Villa’s 13-game unbeaten league run was ended by Chelsea at the weekend which came on the back of the FA Cup defeat at Everton and home draw against CSKA.
“We have found ourselves on a winning run, sometimes we weren’t even playing particularly well but we were winning games,” Young said.
“It’s a winning habit and you want to stop the rot as soon as possible. We have a game on Thursday and if we get a win it will hopefully lift us.”
Young says tiredness is now a concern with Villa playing twice a week most weeks – but he is eager to travel today and to play in Moscow.
“I’m going to come in ready to travel. I’m not sure how the manager views it at the minute but I’m sure we’ll see by who goes and what team we put out.
“Does fatigue concern me? A little. You have to try to win every game if you’re going to compete with the top four.
“We are having to play midweek-weekend-midweek and it’s tough.”

The traffic wasn't too bad when we started but soon we got the traffic coming from Charters trying to get to Townsville before 9am. It is funny riding along here, it is relatively flat (if a little down hill a bit) but either side of you are massive mountain ranges that just 'pop' out of the earth ... there is no gradual area of smaller hills and mountains around the moutain but just flat ground and then straight up in the sky ... here is my view early this morning ...
That mountain range is Bowling Green national park and it is like this all the way to Townsville and further north to Cairns just these massive mountain ranges popping straight up from flat ground.
We are now just 10km before the outskirts of Townsville and the traffic is picking up. We still have a shoulder to ride in. We decided that the park is on the Ross River and we can get to it if we ride along the bike path that follows the river so as soon as we cross the Bruce highway we can link up with a bike path that goes up to the Ross River and we can join the bike path then. It is a lovely path the meanders along the river on both sides.
For most of it it has a parkland to the right of us and then some lovely massive houses along it ... most of it is in the shade ...
it is so much easier riding along this path than the roads and we quickly get to our caravan park. Now as I mentioned last night Neil found an accomodation place that is run by Seventh Day Adventists. It has a convention center, cabin type accomodation, school and caravan park. It is not in your normal caravan guide but it is on some of the forums and Badgers (which is the internet caravan guide) and gets good reviews mainly because of the price. It was advertised at $25 for a powered site so we thought that is okay and by the looks of it it has a big tent section, albeit unpowered in the photo but not bad. So we arrive around 11.30am and she charges us $15 for a powered tent site (the $25 is for a caravan) she says we can stay amongst the vans etc to be close to the toilet but across the driveway is the powered tent section and unpowered tent section but it has massive mango trees which are excellent to camp under and the entire field is grass ... do you know how long it has been since we have camped on grass and not stones or dust! So we say that we only want the power to charge up the tablets so we will go to the trees and walk over to the power point to charge up ... it is not necessary to pitch the tent near the power point so that is what we have done. While having a cuppa tea (badly needed as it is warm and sweaty) and the last of our food - we have nothing left except for weetbix and a bag of burritos with jam or honey! We hear this very loud helicopter go over head ... Neil mentioned the name but I forget what it is but it has 2 propellors ...
Iriquoi (spelling?) or something like that.
So Neil is exceptionally happy with this spot and I must admit so am I ... we are well away from everyone so Kouta is free to roam, we have heaps of shade and we are in a field where the afternoon wind blows - over by the caravans it is sheltered by cabins and houses so there is no afternoon breeze so it is warmer amongst the trees but here it is lovely ...
tomorrow we are cycling into the town center and will spend the day at the Strand swimming hopefully and will just lounge around in the shade under the trees and will shot ourselves some fish and chips for lunch I think! That is if Neil doesn't go over board while shopping ... he has been gone for about 2 hours now ... I am getting worried!

I've heard people say you cannot remember anything prior to the age of six or seven. I have been told that, if you say you recall moments at the age of four or five, it is only because you've heard your parents relate the stories many times. If this is true, why is it I can remember things that happened when there were no adults around to witness them? For instance, I can clearly see in my mind's eye my brother and me standing in a number two washtub on the back porch of our shotgun house in Wink, Texas. I had to have been no older than four at the time, but I can almost feel the chill as the dry west Texas breeze evaporated the water on our bare skins.
And what about the time my older brother was pushing me in his homemade scooter down the dirt streets of town? It was right after one of the rare rainstorms in that arid climate, and the mud must have been a foot deep in spots. When the vehicle hit one of those areas, it flipped me out, face first into the mire. As I came up for air, I was almost blinded by the muck on my face. The tunnel like view through those tiny openings around my eyes has stayed with me for over seventy years. Only he and I were there, and I don't remember his ever mentioning it.
Going back even farther, I have a vision of me standing on my grandparents' big front porch, taking my uncle by the hand, and leading him to the swing hanging there. I didn't say anything. I just pointed to the swing, sat down in it, and waited for him to push me. I lay down on the slats and closed my eyes, pretending that I was asleep. His voice was so soothing as he kept swinging me and talking softly to me, knowing that I really was just playing a game. I ask myself now, "Why did I only use hand motions instead of telling him what I wanted? Was I too young to talk clearly?"

"In 2015, there was a process that kicked off where a number of architects and urban planners sat in a room and thought about, 'How can we change the design of this park so it will be conducive to the public and we can get people down here?'" said David Garbett, Executive Director of the Pioneer Park Coalition. "One of the things we identified was a space where you could have concerts and sporting events for soccer, lacrosse, and flag football."
"Another strategy for opening up the center of the park is to's called CPTED and one of the most prevalent principals of CPTED is natural surveillance so having more eyes on the park helps it feel a little bit safety," said Riker. "Most people are not as willing to commit a crime in a wide open space as they would be if they could find shelter behind a tree or a structure, so just opening it up will reduce some of the crime."
"That's been my goal as a mayor all along is to make sure that we are activating this space in a way thatwelcomed," said Mayor Biskupski. "But we also want the rest of this community to be able to access this space for the adventures they're looking for."
"This construction project is going to add vitality and life to this park and now is the time to make this change. With Operation Rio Grande, this park has had a lot of heavy use by a lot of folks and we want them to continue using this park," said Riker. "We also want the general public to feel safe using this park as well."

If that’s not business, we don’t know what is.

I don't know if it's me or if things around me have started changing. I find myself uttering the phrase, "You're kidding, right?
Is it just me?If I've ordered the smallest version of something that you offer, would I ever want to get the larger version if all that gets me is even more of what I've just ordered?Who came up with this marketing ploy?Does anybody ever accept this offer?If so, why?
And now, a brief word on conjunctions. Before the movie, our good friends at Sprint put a reminder on the screen that said, "Don't forget to silence your cell phone and enjoy the movie", which immediately prompted me to say, "Gosh, I remembered to silence my cell phone, but I forgot to enjoy the movie." You see, these were two different, unrelated concepts that they were trying to convey here. They didn't need the "and", and it changed the whole meaning of the sentence. What they wanted there was two sentences: "Don't forget to silence your cell phone. Enjoy the movie."
"It was a stupid post and I read the whole thing."
"It was a stupid post but I read the whole thing."

Online dating was once challenging during the past with the modest venues where people may meet. Parents usually was first required to look for schedules for their infants by exchanging information with close friends, colleagues, and people who experience a exact church. It was more and more difficult for females to get suited men since standards had been set typically by his or her’s parents, usually by your family’s breadwinner. Though here is the reality, men also really been with them bad the government financial aid the day. Actually men with the present day get pleasure from quite a bit extra freedom through choosing his or her’s dates than their counterparts beforehand. Today there are free paid back dating sites to generate going out with and searching out the “right one” easier and nearly hassle-free.

The inadequacy of Siegfried as an agent of true change is already well established in Wagner’s text; Castorf’s production, and Stefan Vinke’s performance, simply draw out his flaws more vividly. He is forceful, energetic, brash, vulgar, violent; too much in love with his own image as hero, all too easily tempted to enjoy the female spoils of his heroism. Hagen and Gutrune scarcely needed to use a potion to lead him astray – but would a better or brighter hero have had a better chance?The gods of historical materialism have the last laugh; Siegfried may have fled their gloomy world for the bright lights and opportunities of Berlin, but his freedom to act is shown to be tightly circumscribed. His power is no more than that of any man with a gun, to kill, intimidate and disrupt on a small and ultimately irrelevant scale; this sort of revolutionary gets you a bit of anarchist graffiti and a lot of minor damage to patio furniture. “Is Achilles possible with powder and lead?”
We begin, as ever, somewhere in the middle of things, and expect then to see the consequences of events – the theft of the Rheingold, the forging of the ring, Alberich’s curse, Fafner’s murder of Fasolt – play out in sequence, culminating in the destruction of Valhalla. Instead, Castorf sends us back into the past: Walküre plays out in the early-mid twentieth century, in a rapidly changing world of old-fashioned faming, primitive oil drilling and expressionist cinema (the decision halfway through to make the setting more concrete, Azerbaijan in 1942, struck me as completely wrong; I’m happier to indulge my Coen Brothers fantasy and see the whole thing as a blend of Oh Brother Where Art Thou and There Will Be Blood…
Is this Wotan the ancestor of the one in Rheingold, building the family fortune through violence and determination for his spoiled grandson to luxuriate in unearned power and put it all at risk through self-indulgence?Or are we simply seeing the gods manifest in different contexts, playing out the same cruel power games, never actually learning or changing?
Is Castorf’s Ring an anti-Wagner Ring, ostentatiously rejecting his persistent lapses into Romanticism – and the teleological power of his music – and offering instead a nihilistic quietism, an autobiographical journey from the illusory certainties and spiritual poverty of the DDR to the equally superficial delights and alienating consumerism of a reunified Germany – a Marxist nightmare, in which we see the bewitching power of money and the abuses of patriarchal power, but without any hope of waking up or otherwise escaping?Or does it work to uncover new possibilities in this enduringly complex work of art?
Burning down the New York Stock Exchange, satisfying though it might be, wouldn’t actually bring down capitalism. Wotan and the gods seem vulnerable in the Ring because they have placed so much of their power in a few objects that can be seized or broken; but this is revealed in Castorf’s version to be an illusion. As Herbert Marcuse, quoted by Mark Berry at the end of his review of Götterdämmerung, argued, “Authentic works of art…
If there are elements here of the comic narrative, in which everything is disrupted only to return to its original form, same time next week, this is not the whole story. There is change, in sensibility if not the material conditions of society; not even Castorf messes with the journey of Brünnhilde from divinity to humanity, seeing through the tawdry glories and grubby compromises of the world of the gods and rejecting the controlling power of her father. Her suicide fails to shake the world, at least in the short term – but perhaps we can imagine this gesture of despair and defiance, her repudiation of the politics of money and power, growing in stature and meaning over time. Does it have no meaning, if it does not destroy Valhalla?
It’s an opera rather than a play. This production not (yet?

Today we spent much of the afternoon working on our nature journals. We’ve been reading the Burgess Bird Book for Children for the Natural History component of Year 1 and it has been a great delight. What I’ve appreciated the most about this book is how it makes us pay attention to the habits of birds – do they fly smoothly, or do they fly in a way that makes them look like a rabbit hopping through the sky?Are they neat and tidy, or messy homemakers?Why do some woodpeckers spend so much time on the ground instead of in trees?
And I painted a picture of a northern flicker. James pointed one out to me the other day – it landed on the Douglas fir tree right next to the patio and we admired it with wide eyes (it’s quite lovely with that startling red bit on the back of its head!

TOY STORY 4 (2019) STORY SYNOPSIS
TOY STORY 40 June 2019
If there’s one movie franchise that strikes fear into me more than any other, it’s Pixar’s enduring TOY STORY series...
When I first saw TOY STORY all the way back in 1995, I realised as soon as it started that I was watching something very special. Just like SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS did in 1937, with TOY STORY, the Animation genre took a quantum leap forward, showcasing just how much could be achieved by way of computer rendering.
I loved TOY STORY so much, I saw it again the next day…
I was extremely fearful when the fourth film was announced…
The answer is: EFFORTLESSLY.
The new film also sees the return of Bo Peep, voiced by Annie Potts, who hasn’t been seen since the second film in 1999. Bo’s return comes at the expense of Joan Cusack’s Jessie, who played a central role in TOY STORY 2 and was a key supporting character in the third film. The film’s writers, of which there are no less than eight credited, use Bo as the catalyst to force Woody to confront some home truths and spin the series off in an entirely new direction (if Pixar are game enough to tackle a fifth outing some time in the future…)
As far as the fourth film is concerned, both young and old fans of the series should be well satisfied with what first-time Feature Director Josh Cooley delivers.
It has a great mix of jokes, one-liners, sight gags and audience winks that cater for all age groups.
The surprise packet in the humour stakes is the Keanu Reeves’ voiced Duke Caboom, Canada’s answer to Evil Kenevil…
Forky, voiced by Tony Hale, best known to audiences from the TV series VEEP, is a unique creation; made from a plastic fork adorned with bits and pieces cobbled together and fashioned into a figure by Bonnie on her orientation day at Preschool. Forky becomes Bonnie’s new favourite toy, joining Woody and the gang as Bonnie’s Mum and Dad embark upon a road trip before their daughter has to head off to school full time.
Forky proves to be a handful and only Woody’s protective persistence prevents the self-aware piece of disposal cutlery from being - quite literally - thrown out with the trash as he seeks solace in the nearest garbage bin the first opportunity he gets.
Eventually, Woody’s efforts fail and Forky makes a jump for it.
Woody selflessly throws himself out the window of the fast-moving RV in a hastily put-together rescue effort, understanding that Bonnie’s happiness hinges on Forky being present and accounted for when she wakes up in the morning.
From this point, TOY STORY 4 takes flight and heads off in all manner of directions, as multiple character arcs ebb and flow through the course of the story.
For example, Pixar’s animators continue to create stylised humans that look like cartoon characters...
Despite the wonderful animation, at its heart, the TOY STORY series has always been about friendship and loyalty. Woody and Buzz came to learn this by the end of the first film and now, by the end of the fourth film, this friendship is again reiterated and one of the film’s best moments occurs between these two toward its end.
Amid the TOY STORY merchandise craze of the mid-1990s, Pixar and Disney released a limited edition Giclee print of the scene from the first film where Woody and Buzz finally reconcile their differences and realise they have to work together if they want to escape a horrible fate at Sid’s hands. The print is titled “Friends at last…”
If there was a similar Giclee released for the fourth film, depicting Woody and Buzz, it would have to be called “Friends forever…”
With both excitement and relief, that was how I felt by the time the TOY STORY 4 credits had finished and the lights came up. (BTW, stay for the entire end credit sequence.)

"On the other hand everybody is facing invasive species, especially Eurasian water milfoil.

One in four African-Americans lives in poverty, 40 percent of all the incarcerated inmates are African-Americans. Black Americans are given disproportionately harsher sentences for similar crimes. Kalief Browder, a sixteen year old African-American youth was on his way home from a party when he was arrested by New York City Police, charged with robbery. Police tipped off by a single witness that Browder had allegedly robbed someone, three weeks earlier. Unable to put up the $10,000 bond, Browder was incarcerated at the notorious Riker’s Island prison. After 33 months in jail, the D.A. offered the youth a plea bargain in exchange for a guilty plea — Browder refused, and one week later, the police dropped all charges.

, w’th–Map To Higher Consciousness
Many people have heard of the Kabbalah and some have tried to study it. Most people don’t understand it because it seems too complex, and they abandon hope of trying to understand.
Out of all the Spiritual mystical systems, this one works. (We are speaking of miracles resulting from working with this system) Many people desire to be spiritual. They thank God for their blessings, pray and really feel close to God. But, then they don’t know how to obtain the walk with God they long for. The Kabbalah is a map on the Tree of Life.
Because the Vessel (Universe) could not contain God it shattered into trillions of pieces. This caused a separation of the two energies. Creation of the Vessel produced a realm Kabbalists call the Endless World, giving and receiving as a whole. The Creator and the Creation became polar opposites, extremes of each other. Since that time, everything contains and is a part of its opposite. The differences of the two energies caused the separation yet they needed to be different. A giver needs to have a willing receiver in order to give. The separation caused the Vessel to forget it was a part of God. Because of the separation the Vessel no longer received and God pulled back creating a dark space. The more Creator withdrew the more the darkness expanded. In Genesis Chapters 1 and 2 you’ll see the duality begin to emerge. The separation of the dry land from the water, water from water, light from dark, female from male. You may have noticed it in your own mind. Your conscious mind says I’ll start my diet today and your subconscious mind says I want to eat cake. We live in a 3 dimensional world of left and right, up and down, back and forth. It’s hard for us to think outside our small world.
The So Called Fall Of Mankind
A Tree is a Tree and we can use it for beauty or firewood. The only way for us to make that tree a part of us is by eating it’s fruit. It’s fruit is it’s substance. We learn of the existence of the tree and we partake of the tree through it’s fruit..A conscious mind or conscious being) He gave him a logical left male mind. Then put him to sleep and formed his female companion, and Adam awakened or became aware of the two minds united as one. (Since Adam was formed from the ground, God imputed his spirit into him by breathing the breath of life, and a subconscious mind was given to him to maintain his connection to himself and to God so he would remain a long time and in God’s presence)
The mind of God is aware there is dark and light but sees them in unity as one day. The human mind sees opposites.
Since the two minds were one in the same flesh and the only way to sustain or keep the flesh alive was for those two minds to agree in unity, mankind would die if their minds did not remain united. However when a human is told not to do something they become more interested in it and begin to debate with both minds why they should and should not do it. (temptation). When mankind disobeyed God and partook of that which he was not suppose to, his eyes were completely opened and he became as the Gods knowing good and evil (opposites). His two minds now appeared separated. Think about your own minds how they seem constantly at war with each other. The minute Eve was separated from Adam, she became his opposite, and now she could think and make decisions without him.
God drove man out of Paradise so he would not live forever separated from God. But mankind’s two minds remained connected so, if he desired to be one with God again he could, God placed a flaming sword that turned back and forth, (the sympathetic nervous system intertwines with the parasympathetic nervous system up and down the spine) so that only a person who united the two minds could remain connected to God forever. The two nervous systems are part of both minds and are complimentary opposites. However, they intertwine back and forth and loop back up into the brain from where they started. Within mankind lies the secret to immortality, but it is obtained by accepting opposites as unity, and through a great desire to be one with God. The When we have true faith that leaps in our belly we create miracles in our lives. That’s because Faith is the unity of our own two minds. 5d

not accept its teachings from holding a job or participating in the economy (Revelation 13:11–17). Dissenters will be persecuted and killed. While this sounds unbelievable to our modern ears, we need to remember that this church has used similar methods in the past—before, during and just after the Reformation! The Bible also indicates that this great church—called a "mother of harlots"—will mount a concerted effort to lure her estranged children back into her fold. The prophet Isaiah writes of a church called "the Lady of Kingdoms" who makes the audacious claim: "I am, and there is no one else besides me [I am the one true church]5–8).

No second thoughts on Constitution: former CJ – Kuensel Online
No second thoughts on Constitution: former CJ
… says Constitution good for another 50-100 years
Law: Laws that change constantly have no obedience, said the former Chief Justice Sonam Tobgye quoting the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates.
He was responding to a question from the foreign minister, Damcho Dorji, who had asked the speaker if he had second thoughts on any Article of the Constitution.
The former chief justice was speaking atr, the Indian social reformer, on March 5.
The former chief justice, who said that a certain number of years are needed before any changes to the country’s supreme law can be made.
“We tried our best to give a document that will stand at least, in the words of His Majesty, 50 to 100 years,” Sonam Tobgye said.
Lyonpo Damcho Dorji asked if there were any second thoughts on any of the provisions. Citing an example, he said emergency powers granted in the Indian Constitution have been criticised by many for overthrowing the power of state governments.
In the Bhutanese context as well, he said the Constitution empowers the government during an emergency to override the fundamental rights granted under Article 7. Article 33 some of the fundamental rights of citizens during an emergency.
Lyonpo Damcho Dorji was of the view that there is a possibility that an “arbitrary and aggressive government” in future may take advantage of this constitutional provision to violate some of the fundamental rights.
“If there is anything that I would like to amend, I would like to proudly say No,” the former chief justice said.
He explained that the clauses relating to suspension of fundamental rights were carefully drafted keeping in mind the criticisms of such clauses in other constitutions. If the government has overriding powers and tries to amend the Constitution during an emergency, he said that would not happen as the emergency will last only for 21 days.
Article 33, clause 9 of the Constitution also states that it cannot not be amended during a state of emergency.
“The Constitution should be able to change and amend but we need certain number of years for the Bhutanese to accept, formulate and ingrain our basic values,” he said.
The former chief justice also believes in the Buddhist principle that impermanence is the main message of the Buddha.
He said there were 100 amendments to the Indian Constitution till August 15 last year. “Amendments are also necessary because it will take off the political heat and divert various opinions,” he said.
He added that a number of countries around the world were plagued by constitutional crises when Bhutan was drafting its Constitution under His Majesty’s guidance. There were also criticisms against constitutions in the neighbouring countries.
“We were not blind to the events that were engulfing the whole world,” he said. Bhutan tried and learnt lessons from each of these countries.
The former chief justice said time has proven that Bhutan’s Constitution is right.
The then opposition party in 2010 sued the government for raising the vehicle tax without parliament’s approval. The opposition party prevailed and the Supreme Court in 2011 ordered were paid by the buyers as a result of the tax increase.
A law graduate undergoing training at the RIM asked whether there was a reason behind the absence of the word “equality” in the Preamble of Bhutan’s Constitution.
The former chief justice also talked about the direct and indirect influences of the Indian Constitution and the wisdom of Dr Ambedkar in Bhutan’s Constitution. He said the independent election Act, and the e of Dr Ambedkar.
On the indirect impact of the Indian Constitution he said that the drafting committee thought Bhutan would not have a constitution as thick and large as India’s.
Quoting various internationally renowned persons, he said the government cannot be a “helpless spectator of lawlessness” butsovereignty and others. He also said the government cannot provide every right to the citizens.
“Constitution is not the catalog of human rights,” he said. “Constitution is the protector of freedom, liberty and others ,and particularly to encourage people to think to liberate themselve1:58:352016-04-08 11:58:35No second thoughts on Constitution: former CJ

What is the architecture of the Louvre like?
4. How many works of art do the Louvre have?
What the country that has the best museums? In recent years, a museum of the same name has been established in the UAE, which aims to turn Abu Dhabi into a cultural and tourism hub. The Louvre is not just a museum, it is another of Paris’ most famous landmarks, and the Pyramid of the Louvre is another of the best monuments in the city.
France is a country that has the best museums with the Louvre Museum. Thnd is almost a thousand years old. The Louvre Museum is very large and has more than 35,000 works of art that show from ancient history to the 21st century.in Paris, France. Because of having the Louvre Museum, France is the country that has the best museums. This museum is very big and you have to plan to visit it because it has many parts and visiting all of them is time-consuming.
This place is located right in the heart of Paris or the so-called “Ax Historique”, where the Champs Elysees and the Arc de Triomphe are also located..
was built during the 8th century, but in terms of architecture, there is no multiplicity in it and its components have a special harmony with each other.
The architectural style of this building is Romanesque and it has Roman arches and large diameter walls. The building has many windows to allow air to circulate optimally in the building. The most important architectural part of the Louvre Museum is its large pyramid, which consists of more than 600 separate windows.
There are also a few small glass pyramids in the yard that are often overlooked.
The works and sights of the Louvre are all of great value. Some of them are artistically valuable and some of them are historically valuable and date back to BC. Tis also in this museum, which is one of the works of the museum that attracts all visitors and is one of the reasons for visiting this museum.
This museum houses many portraits, paintings, and artistic sculptures.
Important historical monuments of the museum include the statue of Aphrodite, the diamond of the viceroy, the statue of the horse Marley, the inscription of Iranian archers, and famous paintings by prominent artists. This has made France the country that has the best museums.
If you are planning to visit the Louvre, be sure to wear hiking boots because you need them for long walks.
The Louvre Museum in Par Here are some facts about the Louvre that you probably did not know.
have to close many days of your work. In fact, you will have to quit because it takes more than 100 days without sleep to spend just 30 seconds watching each object in the Louvre.
Originally, the Louvre was not a museum at all. It was built as the LouvreKing Philip II.
In the 16th century, the castle became a royal palace and became the original residence of the French kings. From 1682 the royal families lived in the Palace of Versailles outside Paris.
In 1692, the Louvre was used to display the art collection of kings. An interesting fact about the Louvre Museum is that you can actually see the remains of the medieval Louvre Museum in its basement.
In 1911, the Mona Lisa was actually stolen but returned to the Louvre 2 years later. The museum management has guaranteed that this will not happen again. Because the Mona Lisa is currently behind bulletproof glass and is protected by special people.
How many works of art do the Louvre have?
The Louvre exhibits more than 35,000 pieces of art to the public, less than 10% of which are on display. But it is interesting to know that the museum has 380,000 works of art!
In 1871, when the French army was advancing inside Paris, a terrible fire broke out. The fire destroyed Tuileries Palace. Worse, it spread to the Louvre. Tuileries Palace was located next to the Louvre. Eventually, firefighters and museum staff were able to control the fire and save the Louvre.
As we said France is the country that has the best museums because the Louvre has a large number of world-famous works of art. The Mona Lisa or Jacquard Smile is just one of the hundreds of pieces of art known to almost everyone. More than 15,000 people visit the Louvre every day and almost 70% of the visitors are foreigners. In 2018, just over 10.2 million people visited the Louvrehe best museums. On March 6, 2007, Franca world museum called the Louvre Abu Dhabi, which opened in 2014. This investment is also the foundation of a new kind of cultural cooperation between the two powerful countries, and meeting their common needs and aspirations.
The Abu Dhabi Louvre is a museum located in the Saadiyat Island Complex in Abu Dhabi and is part of a 30-year contract signedconstruction of the 24,000-square-foot museum sparked controversy in the art world, as there were initial objections to the Louvre’s motives in the contract.
With this agreement, the famous Louvre Museum in Paris, France, will have another location in the UAE. The Louvre Museum was built in France in the late twelfth century and is one of the most important museums in France. The museum houses some of thee’s Mona Lisa, The Virgin, and Child, Madonna of Roach and Alexandros of Antioch, by Madonna of the Rock and Alexandros of Antioch’s Venus de Milo).

issues (all of those students were upperclassmen). With almost one-third of the students reading three or more issues during the semester, the data suggest that the newsletter did fill a void for some students who were looking for additional advising information.
Table 1b Female student responses to on-line survey about advising newsletter
Newsletter is no help whatsoever
Number of female student respondents to this question = 24.
Table 2b MWhen asked whether the newsletter should be continued the following semester, all of the students, regardless of whether they had actually read a copy of the newsletter or not, wanted the print newsletter to be continued. The freshman female student who said that the newsletter was of no help whatsoever to her, even though she had read two issues, said the newsletter should continue. The two male juniors who said that the newsletter was not really of much help to them one had read all five issues, and one had not read any issues at all agreed that the newsletter should continue. Perhaps those students feel that the newsletter will be of help to them in the future and would like the newsletter to be available when they are ready to explore career opportunities.
It is difficult to assess if the newsletter was of more value to the female students than it was to the n the department is approximately 50:50, yet only 19were male. All but one of the female respondents stated that the newsletter added some level of value to departmental advising. Of the five male respondents to the question of whether the newsletter was of additional value to advising received from the department, three felt there was some value while two did not.
It is always a challenge to find the most effective method to communicate important and helpful information to students. I would argue that the level of the challenge increases with an increasing number of students in a department. Student responses for this particular department indicated that e- to students.

Following the well-organized, and widely publicized, "Buy a Brick - Build a School" campaign, Gl. Our current school population varies from year to year, but averages out at appoximately 1250-1300 students.
From our early beginnings, even before operation started in September of 1997, the culture of Gleneagle Secondary has developed slowly, but surely. .
We have taken the best of the old Junior Secondary Schools and the former Senior Secondary schools in order to create a new entity that works effectively within this community. The school that has emerged We strongly believe that Gleneagle is second to none as a place for young people to learn and grow.
Gleneagle ought to be a reflection of the community it serves and, therefore, it is fundamentally important that all parties not only communicate with each other, but also learn to listen to others’ viewpoints and work as a team. This requires patience, commitment and, above all, a focus on a common goal.
Enjoy your year and become involved in your school. Memories are not made of letter grades but rather the interaction of academics with a variety of other activities. We urge youll that Gleneagle has to offer.
Gleneagle History Links
It all started with a caring group of parents who started a 'buy a brick' campaign that built the school.
Following the commitment of funding, construction began in 1995
Over the almost two decades that the school has been open, there have been many staff that have come and gone (and many who still remain).
We are slowly but surely putting together a list of Gleneagle graduates who have gone on to excel and make both our community and world a better place.

The Green Bay Packers needed a missed field goal late in the 4th quarter to hang on to a 28-27 wi
Brees drove New Orleans to the Green Bay 25y kicked what appeared to be a go-ahead 43 yard field goal that was nullified by a holding call on New Orleans. Hartley lined up to attempt a 53 yarder, when Green Bay jumped offsides. So Hartley lined up from 48 yards and pushed the kick wide.
The Packers ran the clock out to even their record at 2-2 on the young season while New Orleans remains winless at 0-4.
With last Monday nights blown call in Seattle that cost them a win last week still fresh in their minds and especially the fans’ minds, there may have been a riot in Lambeau Field had the late call cost them another win.
Of course they could’ve tried to slow the Saints Drew Brees down a little as well as Brees tallied 446 yards and three touchdowns in the loss.

The overtime period was so intense and s. First, BL netminder Christian Knight came up with a big save.
Then Greyhounds goalie Bryan Moore (18 saves) made a big stop and cleared the ball down field where the ball eventually found Koerber behind the goal and the Denver commit came around the crease and shot low on Knight for the game winner.
Both teams entered the game tied in the MIAA with 5-2 records as they try to nail down the third seed and a home field first round game in the playoffs, which begin next week. Gilman is 10-3 overall, while Boys’ Latin falls to 12-6.
Gilman though, responded with their sophomore standout, Ruhl who scored with under 10 minutes into the fourth quarter. Then minutes later senior Matthai and Ruhl scored back-to-back goals and BL found themselves down by one with 7:24 left in the game.
Then senior attackman Greg Pyke, who is l, scored to tie the game for the seventh time in the game.
“I’m so happy for them because they kept after it,” said Gilman head coach Brooks Matthews. “Coming back against Boys’ Latin in the second half is such a tough thing to do on this field.”
Shack Stanwick though came up big to tie the game again at 10 heading into overtime.
Gilman junior attackman Max Greene, who had a four-goal day praised his goalie. “That’s expectable from him, you can always count on him for the big saves.”
Gilman has a strong hold on the #3 seed for the postseason with only one more regular season game remaining.
Matthews pointed to the momentum from this win will help heading into the playoffs.
“In this league, if you want to achieve the ultimate success you have to able to win two games in one week,” he said. “We had a great effort Tuesday (in a 19-10 win over St. Mary’s Annapolis) but we said we had to back that up with a great effort today and we did and that makes me so happy.”

Blogging is a new – but not so new – communication medium. A lot of people and organizations are doing it because they think or know they’re supposed to, but not because they have any plan or idea of its purpose or opportunity.
From the day I walked into Fair Oaks Church in 2005 I’ve been stunned by the amazing talent of our Worship and Arts Team – I imagine most people coming into Fair Oaks have that experience, how could they not. And it’s not just about the vocal quality or orchestral arrangements or precision performance, it’s about the creativity, the passion, the bravery to glorify God in a way that pushes the envelope and pulls people out of their comfort-zone to see their faith and beliefs from a different angle.
It would be easy to assume that with a group so artistically talented that music is the full measure of their gifts. NOT SO. This group has an authentic spiritual depth that I have had great pleasure experiencing through the FairOaksArts blog, especially over the past several weeks.
The FairOaksArts blog was started in May of 2008 and was launched as a place to “find out info on new songs, videos, updates on current projects, reviews, sneak previews, articles, random thoughts and more.” ... but it has grown a bit since then.
This past September, Pastor Stokes started a sermon series about Worship that was specifically NOT about the songs we sing in a given church service. Although it’s often what we think of first when we hear the word “Worship,” music should be only one of many things on that list, and I wouldn’t even put it first.
The FairOaksArts team picked up that ball and ran with it – or should I say blogged with it. Throughout the Worship sermon series, each of the staff took their turn at expressing their thoughts on worship as more than just the songs we sing in church and I was blown away by the depth and diversity of their spiritual perspectives.
It’s too easy for us to see the people around us one dimensionally – he’s the media guy, she’s the singer, he plays the piano – because that’s all we see of them externally. But that really sells us short, as much as it sells them short. What richness of faith we would miss out on if we never looked beyond the art to the spirit and heart of the artist.
Let me note that these posts of recent weeks on the FairOaksArts.com are certainly not the staff’s first foray in expressing their faith through blogging (Mike Zizolfo’s are a frequent favorite of mine), but it was the deliberate initiative for all of the Arts Team to build on the collective momentum of the single topic of worship that brought true volume to the Loud On Purpose mantra.

Phishing has emerged as a key factor in most security breaches. Where email used to be the primary means of delivering such attacks, technology advances and raised awareness are making such attacks less effective. Attackers have moved on to more sophisticated web-based attacks that are much harder to defend against. A new approach based on live phishing detection as well as self-learning capabilities helps stop attackers in their attacks, before attacks can reach their intended victim.

With Janet Yellen at Treasury, Joe Biden signals further blurring of fiscal, monetary policies
on Jan. 4, 2019.
In nominating Janet Yellen to become his Treasury secretary, president-elect Joe Biden has opted for a steady hand and consensus-builder to steer U.S. fiscal policy just as economists increasingly warn the country is poised to slip back into recession.
Progressive activists had been pushing for the appointment of Massachusetts Senator and big-government advocate Elizabeth Warren to take the reins at Treasury. Wall Street will be relieved that Mr. Biden picked Ms. Yellen instead, even if she, too, could seek to toughen financial regulations loosened under Republican President Donald Trump.
The highly polarizing Ms. Warren would have faced a challenge winning a confirmation and is likely to remain so following two Jan. 5 run-off elections in Georgia. Ms. Yellen’s confirmation is unlikely to be a problem, regardless of which party controls the Senate.
That does not mean her appointment is an entirely uncontroversial one, however. While the 74-year-old labour economist is set to make history as the first woman to hold the top job at Treasury, after serving asbetween 2014 and 2018, her appointment will serve to further
The Fed’ has long been a sacrosanct principle of U.S. government, insulating the central bank from political pressure. However, the current crisis has led to an unprecedented degree of co-ordination between the Fed and the Treasury department, as the central bank moves to facilitate expansionary fiscal policies.
That trend is expected to accelerate under Mr. Biden. The president-elect has already called for the renewal of a Fed lending program that Congress enacted as part of a March stimulus package but that the current Treasury chief Steven Mnuchin last week said would end on Dec. 31. The FeMr. Mnuchin’s move, appearing to some critics to have waded into political matters.
Ms. Yellen would become just the second former Fed chair to serve as Treasury secretary, following the appointment of William Miller in 1979. But his tenure at the Fed lasted barely a year, while his move to Treasury cleared the way for the highly regarded Paul Volcker to take over at the central bank, where he proceeded to wrestle runaway inflation to the ground.
Under current Fed chair Jerome Powell, the central bank has signalled that it will allow the annual inflation rate to surpass its official target of 2 per cent in coming years to make up for long periods of below-target inflation. A similar review of inflation targeting is now under way at the Bank of Canada, which appears to be preparing to follow the Fed in adopting a more flexible approach toward inflation as governments face massive postpandemic debt burdens.
The Fed has ramped up its quantitative easing program since the pandemic struck and the U.S. economy entered a steep recession, from which it only partly recovered. Driven by purchases of Treasury bonds, tUS$7-trillion from barely US$4-trillion in February. QE and near-zero interest rates have lit a fire under the stock and real estate markets, buttressing the investment portfolios of the richest Americans, while low-income earners bear the economic brunt of the pandemic.
The Bank of Canada has followed a similar playbook, tripling its holdings of federal government bonds since February to more than $280-billion. It recently announced plans to purchase a minimum of $4-billion in federal debt weekly for the foreseeable future.
Central bank debt purchases – which are funded by the creation of new money – have pumpednd enabled governments on both sides of the border to fund historic deficits at record-low interest rates. They have, hence, prevented a much deeper recession by facilitating extraordinary public spending.
The longer-term risks of such monetary measures remain a matter of serious concern. In addition to further inflating asset bubbles and exacerbating economic inequality, they could lead to a loss of credibility as central banks take on roles beyond their traditional mandate to fight inflation.
“The blurring of monetary and fiscal policy means that it is crucial to have proper guardrails around policy co-ordination. In their absence we see a risk that major central banks could lose grip of inflation expectations relative to their target levels,” said a report last week by analysts at the global investment firm BlackRock Inc.
Such a development would unwind decades of hard work by the Fed and the Bank of Canada to put the lid on inflationary pressures that eroded investor confidence in the 1970s and could eventually lead to.
Few policy makers are likely as acutely aware of such risks as Ms. Yellen, whose credentials arguably make her the most qualified Treasury nominee in modern history. But she is also proof of the increasingly tight relationship between fiscal and monetary officials that some critics fear could lead to a gradual loss of central bank independence.
The Fed’s Mr. Powell has been highly vocal in calling for Congress to adopt another massive stimulus package toon once many current aid measures expire on Dec. 31. Even if you agree with him, such advocacy risks running afoul of the very “guardrails” BlackRock rightly suggests need to be maintained.
Ms. Yellen’s appointment will only make maintaining them that much harder.

a way designed to be helpful to new students; overall sees Congreve using drama to explore contemporary social concerns with appetite and desire.
One of the first really substantial monographs on the works, which are seen as embodying Congreve’s personal sense of values, which is that of an Epicurean (rather than simply Libertine or Libertarian) Whig gentleman. Shows how the plays delineate multifaceted characters in action, critiquing rather than reflecting social mores but offering the possibility of genuine ethical practice.5 September 1937. Lively modernist appreciation, exploring Congreve’s ability to catch large movements in tiny slivers of action, gesture, and speech; stands against hostile judgments based on fixed moral principles, such as those of Samuel Johnson and L.

The picture above was what awaits us when we go back to finish the hike up Little Rock Creek. We found it the other morning while heading to Lake Como for a short hike as we were limited by time and it’s easy. However, on the way to the trailhead I got distracted by a sign pointing to the Little Rock Creek TH which I had read about the other day. Seemed a lot more interesting so we detoured and ended up driving several miles up the forest road and eventually found the trailhead.
We had been planning to go since we really enjoyed the event last year. We took the Jag on a shakedown cruise a few weeks prior with the British Motoring Club of. We made it almost all the way to the top of Trail Ridge but the Jag was once again having trouble with the engine overheating and we ended up having to turn around. I knew there was no way we could successfully complete the Rallye with the cooling system not functioning properly. So, I bit the bullet and pulled the radiator out. I took it to a radiator shop and had them clean it out. Got everything put back together just a few days before the rally and did it ever make a difference.

In their turn thoutlying zones.
Veins in the lower limbs may be located near the surface (surface or supra-fascial veins) or in depth (deep veins, sub-fascial, in muscular interstices).
One-way valves, or venous valves are built into the wall of the venous system to help blood flow towards the heart where this is most necessary, where the blood flow is most difficult and to prevent blood from flowing back down (venous reflux).
They are activated by the muscles responsible for lower limb movements and together with muscles they act to "pump" venous blood.
Abnormalities in the circulatory system
With the passage of time and as a consequence of incorrect habits, pregnancy, familial predisposition and hormonal problems the walls of veins may gradually dilate, losing tone and elasticity. The one-way valve system is impaired. Blood struggles to get back to the heart and tends to stagnate, especially in the distal parts of the legs (first the ankle and then the calf).
These are small red or bluishcommonly called "capillaries". When they dilate they become very visible and form spider vein blemishes. In most cases they are formed without precise causes and even when there are no circulatory problems. Onset can be favored by: familial predisposition, pregnancy, the "pill", trauma or excessively vigorous massages.
This is the presence of a blood clot in the veins, often caused by slowing down of blood flow. Thrombosis can strike deep veins with the risk of pulmonary embolism. If the thrombus forms in a superficial vein (often varicose) the skin becomes red and hot, the vein is painful and hard and inelastic. Ge.

Healthier Together: Enjoy the sun safely
By: Amy Nay , Sponsored Content
As temperatures creep to near record highs this week, experts with Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Utah want to help keep you and your family safe in the summer sun.
Wellness consultant Allie Henderson says, “Try to plan your activities early in the day when the sun’s UV rays aren’t the strongest.”
“If you are outside, even if it’s cloudy, make sure you’re” says Henderson.
Don’t forget to re-apply. Henderson says sunscreen should be re-. And don’t forget to check the expiration date.
“I know a lot of us are just re-using sunscreen from previous years, and while they still may be good, you just want to make sure it’s still safe and effective to use.”
Proper sunblock can keep you and your loved ones from suffering from uncomfortable burns, but more importantly, skin cancer.
“On average, the risk for melanoma doubles when a person has had at least five or more sunburns,” says Henderson.
Henderson advises about 180 lbs., you’ll want to get 90 ounces, or about 12-15 glasses of water per day. Make sure you stick to water too – alcohol and caffeinated beverages can contribute to dehydration.
Early dehydration signs to watch out for include:
Experts say you should sip water, a sports drink or fruit juice at the first since of dehydration. If symptoms become more severe, go to the emergency room.

Here we go, folks. It’s showtime. We are just 5 days away from the Iowa caucuses. It’s been a long ride to this point, but we’re here, and turnout among Millennial voters could prove decisive on Monday. Have a tip? Be sure to stay in touch throughout primary season. Be sure to share this week’s Millennial Memo, and sign up for updates here.
GEOGRAPHY OF MILLENNIAL CAUCUS-GOERS COULD DETERMINE VICTORY IN IOWA: “With the critical Iowa caucuses just a week away andneck-and-neck, geography may play a bigger role than turnout in favoring…….” (NBC News, 1/25/2016)
DES MOINES REGISTER SPOTLIGHTS RUBIO’S HIGHER ED REFORMS IN ENDORSEMENT EDITORIAL: The Register in praise of Rubio: Des Moines Register, 1/23/2016)
KASICH BELITTLES THE IDEA OF FREE COMMUNITY COLLEGE: When asked by WBUR what he thinks of President Obama’s free community college idea, Governor Kasich said: “‘Eve, If every is free, I mean – what are you, kidding? bt.’” (WBUR, 1/25/2016)
INSKEEP ON CLEAR MESSAGING TO YOUNG VOTERS: Speaking as part of a roundtable on ABC’s This Week, NPR’s Steve Inskeep said: “Well, here’s the situation. Bill Clinton, when campaigning for his wife the other day, made a rather perceptive point, in which he said — and he was dissing Bernie Sanders by saying it a little bit — but Sanders has simpler slogans that are easier to say, easier to remember. He’s also, though, admitting to Hillary Clinton’s problem. If you look at an issue like, say, public education, just to take an example. Sanders has a very simple talking point, rybody. Hillary Clinton has a more nuanced position. She wants to make college more affordable, but still wants people to pay. It’s a different philosophy, really. And it’s a little bit harder to talk about.”
GRANHOLM PITCHES ACHIEVABILITY OF CLINTON’S COLLEGE PLAN IN RESPONDING TO INSKEEP: Responding to Inskeep’s comments, former Michigan Governor and Clinton surrogate Jennifer Granholm said: “Getting stuff done is the thing that moves me, that makes my — gives me goose bumps. If you want to talk about college, free college for all, the response is why would we give Donald Trump’s kids free college? I have a plan that is workable for real people and I’m going to work to get it done.”
DEEP DIVE–BERNIE’S TRACK RECORD WITH YOUNG VOTERS: Senator Sanders’ 2-to-1 lead among young voters has been getting lots of media attention — from Democratic debates to the Sunday shows, so our friends over at CIRCLE took a look at just how well Sanders has performed with the constituency in the past. “Senator Sanders may be leading among youth in the national polls, but does he have a history of young people casting ballots for him? Recent national polls suggest that Senator Sanders currently leads Secretary Clinton among national samples of young people. According to the recent Rock the Vote/USA Today millennial poll, he leads nationally by 46%-35% among Democrat and Independent identified millennials (ages 18-34). The Economist/YouGov found that 44% of under-30 registered voters preferred him and 25% favored Secretary Clinton. Senator Sanders’ previous campaign record is in Vermont, where he has performed strongly among young people according to exit poll data. In his 2006 Senate election, Senator Sanders ran as an Independent and won 77% of young votes (compared to 65% of all votes). In his 2012 Senate re-election bid, again as an Independent, Senator Sanders received 86% of young votes (compared to 71% of all votes). Vermont, however, is demographically very different from the nation. During his last re-election campaign in 2012, for example, there were around 93,000 young citizens (18-29) in Vermont, of whom 93% were white non-hispanic. Nationally, in 2012, 62% of youth were white non-hispanic. The sample sizes of young people of color in Vermont are too small to indicate how many voted for Senator Sanders. Among young people in Vermont, Senator Sanders has performed about the same regardless of the voters’ education levels but less strong among moderates than among liberals.”

Google is making a change to its Android security systems today that is meant to ensure that users whoe are a bit safer from malicious apps.
The new continuous checks use the same app-scanning technology Google already uses on Android and in its Chrome browser.
It’s no secret (PDF) that Android accounts for the vast majority of mobile malware. Very little of it (0.1 percent according to some reports) comes from Google’s own Play store. Instead, the main vector for malicious mobile apps are third-party stores — often in countries where Google doesn’t offer an official store itself.

Since the SARS epidemic of 2003, there has been a renewed emphasis on improved global preparedness for health threats.
Preparedness for global health threats
Even prior to COVID-19, there was consensus that the world was not prepared for global health threats. In 2019, concludednformation from the Prevent Epidemics ReadyScore showed that most countries were not prepared to find, stop, and prevent disease threats. As the COVID-19 pandemic has spread, these preparedness gaps in countries have been exposed. The Global Health Security Index launched in 2019 found thatDoes it matter in COVID-19?
The obvious question is whether the preparedness level of a country has made a difference in the current COVID-19 pandemic. Do countries that score higher on preparedness for more common outbreaks and epidemics perform better in the current pandemic? The relationship between preparedness and COVID-19 impact is difficult to answer, as both are complex and hard to measure. In this insight, we used simple metrics for each to see if any patterns emerged.
Several country-level preparedness indicators exist including:
IHR State Parties Self-Assessment Annual Reporting tool (SPAR). The only mandatory (under IHR 2005) obligation for reporting on progress toward building preparedness and response systems. SPAR is self-reported annually and subject to bias, although it has improved in recent years.
Prevent Epidemics ReadyScore. The ReadyScore is a simple number that estimates country preparedness for the nearly 100 countries that completed and reported status on a Joint External Evaluation.
Global Health Security Index. An index of the g.
For the purposes of this analysis we used the ReadyScore to capture country preparedness
Assessing an effective response to COVID-19
Case counts. Case counts and trends are highly dependent on the testing strategy used in a population. They also depend on the types of cases (asymptomatic, presymptomatic, symptomatic, deaths, recovered) detected. Testing data is currently variable in availability and quality.
Death counts. Deaths are easier to detect than cases, but are highly dependent on age distribution, burden of underlying conditions, and case management. In some locations with a large proportion of community deaths, COVID-19 deaths may be undercounted.
Case fatality ratio (CFR), or the number of deaths from COVID-19 out of the total number of COVID-19 cases captures several aspects of the COVID-19 response. In a better prepared healthcare system, the number of deaths should be reduced as cases are detected earlier, and hospitals are better prepared to manage severe cases. The number of cases should also be higher, as more testing is done to understand the full extent of COVID-19 spread in a community and to support isolation and quarantine measures. Overall, the lower the CFR the better, although its magnitudefactors.
Age-adjusted CFR. Similar to the CFR but accounts for the age of the population. Limited by the availability of age-specific death data.
Lag-adjusted CFR (LA-CFR). Similar to the CFR but accounts for a two-week lag between illness onset among cases and deaths. This adjustment is made by using current cumulative deaths in the numerator, but cumulative case counts from 14 days ago in the denominator. It also avoids an underestimation of true CFR during exponential growth, as recent cases may be rising without corresponding deaths (because of the lag).
Case-PHSM interval. It is clear that earlier implementation of COVID-19 interventions results in slower and less overall transmission. The timing of public health and social measure (PHSM) implementation can be compared to epidemiologic thresholds (e.g. first case detected) to provide a country-specific indicator of response timeliness.
Country ReadyScore
Republic of Korea 92
UAE 91
DRC 35
What the chart shows: More prepared countries tend to have older populations. This is important to note since age is the most important risk factor for severe COVID-19 disease including death. We would expect that countries that are more prepared would have higher overall mortality rates, all other things being equal. Outliers from this trend include high-income countries in the Middle East, and Japan and some other high-income countries which have a high proportion older people.
ReadyScore and testing
Assumption: Countries with higher preparedness scores would also be expected to have more testing, since they are more likely to have robust laboratory networks, resources to procure test kits, and trained staff to administer and process tests.
What the chart shows: Comparing overall tests done per thousand through 1 May 2020 with ReadyScore, we see that countries that are better prepared have done more testing per capita. Some countries, such as Japan and Thailand, do not have the magnitude of testing one might expect based on their preparedness score. It is important to note that the number of tests needed depends on the size of the outbreak and the control strategy in place.
Assumption: As discussed earlier, CFR is affected by many determinants (including age) but generally improves (goes down) if there is robust testing and good case management. Unfortunately, data is not available across all countries to adjust CFR for age. Still, one would expect that LA-CFR would be lower for better prepared countries, as they have more robust testing, better equipped health care facilities, and trained staff to take care of severely ill patients.
What the chart shows: Looking at LA-CFR by ReadyScore, we can see that better prepared countries do have lower LA-CFRs. Some of the best preparhave LA-CFRs near 10%. Examining LA-CFRs over time would also be useful to see if there is a decline as clinical care and treatment options improve.
Assumption: Better prepared countries act sooner to protect their populations as indicated by a lower or negative interval (which indicates that the first PHSM was implemented before the first case).
Some key observations can be made whensome key COVID-19 indicators. Better prepared countries tended to be older and test more of their population. They also had higher CFRs, but lower than expected given the proportion of older people in their populations. This indicates that countries that are better prepared do a better job finding cases and preventing deaths. Better prepared countries did not act sooner to implement PHSMs,t country level, including other factors that influenced decision-making.

Slashing the police budget for 2021 by $15 million hurt recruitment, resulting in only 42 new hires as opposed to 250 in a normal year, Bowser said on Wednesday. She called for another $11 million to hire and train 20 more officers in the current fiscal year, and 150 in 2022. The proposal is unlikely to be approved by the city council, however.
Bowser's turnabout on crime came after a year of advocacy on behalf of groups such as Black Lives Matter, which have openly called for "defunding the police" and described policing itself as intrinsically racist. Last July, during the riots outside the White House, Bowser had a street corner named Black Lives Matter Plaza and had city workers paint the words along a stretch of 16th Street Northwest.
In March this year, she reacted to the gruesome carjacking and killing of an Asian American Uber driver outside the Washington Nationals stadium - for which two African American minors were later convicted - by warning residents to be more careful in preventing "crimes of opportunity."
Meanwhile, the groups calling for defunding and abolishing police have received yet another injection of funds from billionaire Democrat mega-donor George Soros, the conservative-leaning Washington Free Beacon reported, citing federal records. Soros gave $1 million in May to Color of Change, described as a racial justice group, which has repeatedly called for defunding the police. It was his largest single political donation in 2021.

I keep forgetting to put my fall photos up here -- or just procrastinating, I guess. It's been a real source of happiness for me to get out and take photos of beautiful things, and I'm at least a month behind in posting the results. Orchards (slideshow here) have been the most frequent target, as they've been putting on the most spectacular displays as the seasons change again. I've been noticing shadows (and here) and tunnels lately, but colour is getting elusive as it drains away into winter.
Big thanks to Angelo and Imogene for hosting one of the highlights of our trip.
This is an interesting one. As part of my discovery of Oliver Schroer, I found out that he primarily played a five-string violin. My curiosity piqued, I picked up a cheap-o 5-string electric from a company in China that was listing on eBay. As I had my eye on five-string violas as well, I asked them if they'd be able to make an acoustic one to my specs, and they gave me a very reasonable price. After some back 'n forth, fits and starts, they finally got it built and sent it out across the planet. It blows my mind that I can exchange some e-mails with someone in China and have a custom-made instrument shipped here in a few weeks.
It arrived on Monday -- the woodwork is beautiful, exactly like I had hoped. As expected, the fittings and setup are poor -- this is apparently the story with nearly every instrument imported from China, as if they've figured out the wood part, but not much else. By the time I put good strings on, get it adjusted and set up properly, it won't be such a bargain any more, but hopefully the sound will make it worthwhile. My plan is to string it with a low F, giving it a range nudging into the cello world...or if that doesn't work out, the standard tuning plus a high E string to cover the range of the violin.
Dec.7 Update: I've been playing this beast daily for a few weeks now, and it's getting better. I wouldn't say it's better than my old one, but not worse either. I've been working on a half-dozen songs lately, and recorded them with the camera, since I don't have a proper audio recorder yet. So this isn't compelling viewing, but if you're curious about the kind of music I'm composing right now, this gives a pretty good overview. My challenge now is to envision how other instruments might join these tunes, ideally meaning that the viola could fade into accompaniment at times -- I'm thinking that these could be arranged for a small group of three-four instruments, and crafted into 2-4 minute instrumental songs. Some percussion would be great, some plucked strings, and something to fill in the bass end.
When a guy doesn't post for a couple of weeks, then busts out a thousand words on the minutest details of a rock concert, you know he doesn't have much else going on. I've regained a few millimeters of movement in it too, which is better than the zero I had last week. I've really missed riding my bike. Thankfully I've still been able to play viola and take some pictures.
So now I'll bust out another 1000 words on our five days in Vancouver, an adventure for us that would barely register as a real trip for normal people, never mind something worth taking 400 photos of and rambling on about online for imaginary audiences. Nevertheless, we needed a getaway, and the highs outweighed the lows by a longshot.
Not the best drive in, with Ezra cranky and high-maintenance, but he did sleep for about an hour (small mercies). Highlights included fancy bread and coffee from Bliss in Peachland, then fries and milkshakes in Hope, because we're all about the healthy living on vacation. Snow on the connector, but not enough to slow us down much. We squeaked across the Port Mann before the traffic got too insane (bigger mercy).
Checking in at The Sylvia is the best. It is totally our home away from home in Vancouver. We love starting our days there with breakfasts overlooking English Bay.
Esther and Imogene kindly dropped me and Angelo off near GM Place where we proceeded to wrangle a couple of beers and burgers at one of the packed pubs. I've already said too much about the U2 concert, but I'll repeat how great it was to meet my old friend for a couple hours of merriment.
The next morning Ezra and I walked across downtown to meet Angelo and Imogene at the Roundhouse, where we explored the old steam engine, then got on the Skytrain. Ezra had been talking about riding the Skytrain ever since the girls reported on their experience a few weeks ago. Many times a day: "Daddy, I wanna go on the Skytrain sometimes". So we did, and it was quite a thrill. Better yet, we took the new line to the airport and watched giant planes taking off from the new observation deck. Planes and trains in the same outing = Ezra in his glory. It was outstanding to hang out with Angelo and Imogene.
Dear friend (and midwife) Barb hosted our clan for supper that night, which was brave and generous of her. Salmon and squash feast with stir-fried greens and pasta...yum. The kids were a total gongshow, so I whisked them back to the hotel so Tannis and Barb could hang out a bit like normal people. No photos, sadly.
The next morning Tannis and the girls went for breakfast while Ezra and I went to see Cass and her new (8 months old) little Luke. Very nice to see her in her element and catch up a bit. Also forgot to take any photos...duh.
We had some gloomy clouds and rain, but a few stretches of nicer weather. We did a few great walks along the seawall that yielded a whack of photos. Fantastic to spend time by the ocean.
I snuck out to the art gallery later in the afternoon. I love being there. The main floor exhibit was devoted to landscape photography and painting. I haven't tended to pay much attention to this genre, but it was beautifully displayed and I felt like I was studying and learning. There was an interesting photography exhibit and some great Group of Seven stuff, but it was the Emily Carr/Jack Shadbolt exhibit that really rocked me. I was familiar with both artists, and had seen most of the Carr paintings before...but the Shadbolt stuff blew me away. Incredible energy and evocative images. I resorted to arguing with a tired security guard to let me get one more look before they closed.
Bill hosted our traveling gongshow Friday night. We hadn't seen his apartment before -- he had made it out to be a dump, but we thought it was fantastic. Unfortunately, traffic woes and Ezra's screaming had us arriving in mental tatters. Thankfully, Bill saved the day by busting out a killer train set that kept Ezra mostly occupied for pretty much the whole visit. Excellent pizza, some beers and hanging out. Our breakfast plans for the next morning didn't pan out, but perhaps we can lure the Baker Boys over here once more before winter begins in earnest.
After checking out of the hotel, we hooked up with the Eidse crew again, descending on their lovely home in East Vancouver. Great welcoming vibe there, and everyone was pretty happy and mellow. We ramped things up for Halloween later, getting everyone (well, except humbug me) costumed and geared up for trick 'r treat action. We couldn't have asked for a better evening -- warm, calm, a bright moon, good old friends, and a great neighbourhood for the kids. There was definitely some Halloween magic floating around. I put a few photos here.
We checked into a Super8 in Langley that night; a decent place with a nice pool that everyone enjoyed after breakfast the next morning. Then out on the open road, with no real stops until Sanderson's in Keremeos for veggies and curry.

Our "borrowed babies," or our Safe Families kids, have been here three and a half weeks. We're settling in to our new routine.
It's a bummer to have chosen their pseudonyms so early on, before we "knew" them as well as we do now. I would absolutely change Miss No to something a little less negative. She's a sweetheart, with a good spark inside of her. There's still a lot of "NO!" from her, but there's a lot of compliance now, too.
Big Sis is making progress. It's neat to see and hear new things from her. I still feel strongly that she needs services and she's still a seriously delayed little girl, but she's teachable to some extent, which is encouraging. She's getting better at dressing and undressing herself. She takes her bowl & spoon to the sink. She puts her dirty laundry where it goes. We're working on putting 2 words together now. (Yes, she's 3.5 years old.) We've done, "Night night, [sister's name]!" the past couple of nights. She willingly repeats the Night Night part, and has to make several tries to get sister's name on there at the end. Tonight we tried, "Night night, Ese!" as we passed Annaliese on the way to bed. It took a few tries, but she got it! I still can't get her to say Auntie.
I'm seeing a lot more smiles from Miss No. She likes me. And she's a snuggle bug, which is fun. Baby Gogo is a snuggle bug, too. In fact, one day I was holding Big Sis through a raging tantrum, and both Miss No and Baby Gogo climbed up on either side of me on the couch and leaned on me.
Mostly, we're just taking one day (sometimes one hour) at a time. It's a lot of work, but it's rewarding work. Still no idea how long they'll be here. And that's okay. We'll just worry about today, and see what happens with tomorrow when it gets here.

RECEIVERS say it will be business as usual for patients, staff and suppliers after taking control of Waterford's Whitfield Clinic.
Anglo Irish Bank appointed Kieran Wallace and Barry Donohue of KPMG as "share receivers" to Euro Care International, the company that owns the hospital, over a debt of €85m yesterday.
The "share receivership" means the hospital itself is not in receivership so any debts it owes cannot be walked away from under its new controllers -- in contrast to suppliers' experience at Superquinn last week.
As a result, receivers were able to reassure patients and staff at the hospital that there will be no changes, despite banks seizing control.
The receivers appointed Philomena Shovlin, a former ceo of St Vincent's Private Hospital in Dublin, as interim manager to run the hospital yesterday and named a number of directors to the board of the company.
The receivers say they have no plans to sell the business as yet. Instead, the focus is understood to be keeping the hospital trading in order to repay the €85m borrowed to finance the development.
Whitfield Clinic was developed by Dr Jim Madden, a Carlow-based dentist, and his developer wife, Mary. The family was also behind a medical development scheme in Carlow that remains at the planning stages. The couple's daughter, Aimee, was CEO of the hospital in Waterford before receivers were appointed.
Euro Care International's debt was secured by shares in the hospital and is also backed by personal guarantees to Anglo Irish Bank from Dr Madden and his wife, according to accounts filed for the company.
The accounts for 2010 show losses of €1.7m, significantly down from €5.4m in 2009.
The hospital was built in part with €12m raised from a group of tax-based investors. Those investors own the hospital building, under a sale and lease-back agreement with the operators. The investors got tax breaks for investing, plus a commitment from the company that it would buy back the premises after the tax breaks run out in 2017.
Last night, the receiver confirmed that the tax-based investors were not affected by the receivership process.
Despite reassurances, tax advisers said losses at the company and the appointment of a receiver cast major doubt over whether the building would now be bought back at a preset price.
Dr James Madden (below) is the founder of Whitfield Clinic (above). Anglo Irish Bank have.

17 What Can We Expect from Electoral Laws?
• Electoral systems help determine how many parties a country has, how cohesive they are, who forms the government, and how long the government cabinets tend to last.
• Electoral systems are expressed in electoral laws. Their impact depends on the way politicians and voters make use of these laws.
• At times, flawed electoral laws can undo democracy or lead to staleness.
Who governs? Ele‘Who governs?’ was determined as much by the electoral system as by popular votes.
Elections are one way to determine who the leaders will be. This method is more peaceful than fighting it out, more credible in modern times than (p.2) claims of divine favor, and more systematic than estimating the loudness of noise made by various factions at an open‐air meeting. Only transfer of power from parent to offspring can compete with elections in orderliness of procedure; and in the modern world, elections have become a more widespread practice. The supposed goal is to have the ‘people’ express their will.
By electoral system, we meansseats. The system must specify at least the number of areas where this translation takes place (electoral districts), the number of seats allocated in each of these areas (district magnitude), and the seat allocation formula. Allbook deals only with elections that offer some choice. It bypasses fake elections where a single candidate for a given post is given total or overwhelming governmental support, while other candidates are openly blocked or covertly undermined. It also largely overlooks pathologies of electoral practices such as malapportionment and gerrymander, except for pointing out which electoral systems are more conducive to such manipulation.
The physical conditions of elections matter, such as ease of registration of voters and candidates, location and opening times of polling stations, the timing of elections, and ballot design—see Mozaffar and Schedler (2002) and Reynolds and Steenbergen 2006). It is presumed in this book that such conditions of electoral governance are satisfactory. My only concern is to explain, in what are considered fair elections, how electoral systems affect the translation of votes into seats, how the results also affect the distribution of the votes in the next elections, and what it means for party systems. Moreover, the book largely limits itself to first or only chambers of legislatures, except for one chapter on second chambers and supranational assemblies, plus incidental comments on presidential and local elections.
This scope may look narrow, but translation of votes into seats by different electoral systems can lead to drastically different outcomes. We already saw what it meant for Palestine. Also, with a different electoral system (and traditions in applying it), a mere 36.3 percent of the total vote would not have made Salvador Allende president of Chile in 1970, and Chile's history could have taken a very different course.
allocating assembly seats on the basis of popular votes differed. The Icelandic Progressives won 33 percent of the seats and played a leading role in the country's politics, while the British Liberaling disappointment affected the votes in the next election and sent the Liberals down to near‐oblivion.
Thus, electoral systems can sometimes make or break a party—or even a country. In less spectacular ways, they affect party strengths in the representative assembly and the resulting composition of the governing cabinet. They can encourage the rise of new parties, bringing in new blood but possibly leading to excessive fractionalization, or they can squeeze out all but two parties, bringing clarity of choice but possibly leading to eventual staleness. It is well worth discovering in quantitative detail how electoral systems and related institutions affect the translation of votes into seats.
Figure 1.1 shows the opposite impacts of electoral systems and party politics on the distribution of seats and votes among parties. Electoral systems restrict directly the way seats can be distributed. In particular, when single‐seat districts are used, only one party can win a seat in the given district. The impact on votes is more remote. When a party fails to obtain seats in several elections, it may lose votes because voters give up on it, or it may decide not to run in the given district. The impact on party system and hence on politics in general is even more remote. Still, if a party fails to win seats all across the country, over many elections, it may fold, reducing the number of parties among which the voters can choose.
The impacts of the existing party system and current politics are attenuated in the reverse direction. The total number of meaningful parties may be limited by the workings of the electoral system, but current politics determines which parties obtain how many votes. The impact of current (p.4) politics on the seats distribution is weaker, as the electoral system may restrict the numberof parties that can win seats. Still, current politics determines which parties win seats. Finally, current politics has no impact at all on the electoral system, most of the times. Yet, infrequently, it has a major impact, when a new electoral system is worked out from scratch, or when protest against the existing electoral system builds up for any reason.
At all stages, political culture plays a role. The same electoral laws play out differently in different political cultures, shaping different party systems. Along with the initial party system, political culture shapes the adoption of electoral laws. If stable electoral and party systems succeed in lasting over a long time, this experience itself can alter the initial political culture—a connection not shown in Figure 1.1. This book mentions political culture rarely, but not because I underestimate it. I just do the relatively easy things first, and political culture is harder to tackle.
In the study of current politics, votes come first, and seats follow—the arrows at the top of Figure 1.1. This direction may look natural, but it is reversed when we study the impact of electoral systems. Now seats are restricted directly, and restrictions on votes follow in a slow and diffuse way—the arrows at the bottom of Figure 1.1. Recognition of such reversal is essential for elucidating the impact of electoral systems.
Politics takes place in time and space—both the immutable physical space and the institutional space that politics can alter, but with much inertia. The physical size of polities matters for their functioning, as stressed early on by Robert Dahl and Edward Tufte (1973). Institutional size also places constraints on politics. For instance, in a five‐seat electoral district, at least one party and at most five parties can win seats. Within these bounds, politics is not predetermined, but the limiting frame still restricts the political game. It is rare for one party to win all seats in a five‐seat district, while such an outcome is inevitable in a single‐seat district. This observation may look obvious and hence pointless, but it will be seen that it leads to far‐reaching consequences.
Institutions are containers within which the political processes take place. Containers matter. True, the content matters more, and containers do not decide what is poured into them. But if they leak, crack, overflow, (p.5) or corrode, they do affect the outcome. Indirectly, they even affect the content, because one learns from experience not to pour, for instance, the proverbial new wine into old wineskins. It would be false dichotomy to ask whether containers matter or not. It is a question of how much they matter, and how.
So it is with political institutions. An excellent institutional framework cannot compensate for flawed political culture, but inadequate institutions can make it worse. Such a risk is high when political culture is corrosively intolerant and does not value cooperation and compromise. To maximize stability, institutions should be congruent with political culture, to use Harry Eckstein's terminology (Eckstein 1966, 1998), but not so congruent as to help perpetuate an undemocratic culture. Electoral systems are part of such institutions.
Here I use ‘electoral systems’ with some hesitation. In systems theory, a system divides the world into external and internal, and it has some capacity to restore internal equilibrium when disturbed by external factors. If so, then one could speak of an electoral system only when the electoral rules have been embedded in a political culture where voters and politicians have acquired reasonable skills in handling the rules to their enlightened self‐interest, which includes most actors’ long‐term interest in preserving a modicum of stability. Such skills are based on experience. A set of electoral rules can be promulgated as laws overnight, but it takes several electoral cycles for politicians and voters to learn how to handle these laws to their best advantage. Hence electoral rules become a stable limiting frame for the electoral game only when they have been used a fair number of times.
In this light, should we define ‘electoral systems’hem? There is some merit in such a definition (Taagepera 1998a), but it also leads to new difficulties in telling electoral and party systems apart. Therefore, I adhere to the generally accepted definition of electoral system as the set of rules that govern ballot structure and seat allocation.
Electoral system thus defined is inextricably intertwined with party system. Even the earliest election in a new democracy is bound to take place in the context of some constellation of proto‐parties, but to talk of a party system truly serves a purpose only when some degree of stability (p.6) has set in regarding the identity, size, and interaction of parties. Early party constellations are often kaleidoscopic configurations of individual politicians, devoid of anything akin to a system. During early democratization, major parties may vanish completely and new ones may arise. Thus, the early party constellations can be even more fleeting than a kaleidoscope, where at least the pieces remain the same (Grofman, Mikkel, and Taagepera 2000). Such party constellations become a party system only slowly.
What is involved in a party system? It is more than just the number and sizes of parties. It also includes their interactions. Peter Mair (1997: 214–20) offers two convincing examples of decoupling between parliamentary strengths of parties and their interaction patterns regarding government formation and maintenance. A long‐standing feature of the Irish party system was Fianna Fail's refusal to engage in coalition cabinets, which constrained the voters to vote either for Fianna Fail and single‐party cabinets or for coalition cabinets by ‘The Rest’. When a variety of reasons induced Fianna Fail to participate in coalitions, starting in 1989, the entire pattern of possible combinations expanded. Party system changed without any change in electoral system or any appreciable shift in seat shares of parties.
Denmark is Mair's contrary example (1997) of party system remaining the same despite shifts in party strengths. Instead of previous 5 parties, 10 parties won seats in 1973, and the combined vote share of the established 5 dropped from 93 percent to 65. Yet the interaction pattern of parties changed little, as another minority cabinet replaced the previous one. Note, however, that the electoral system did not change either—only the electoral outcomes did.
The fact that a party system also involves interaction patterns among parties does not do away with the importance of the number and sizes of parties. A two‐party system offers inherently different options, compared to a multiparty system. The shift in Ireland 1989 and the non‐shift in Denmark 1973 both played themselves out within the usual range of options available in multiparty systems. When describing party systems, it would needlessly be limiting to claim either that only party sizes matter or, conversely, that party sizes do not matter at all.
The initial electoral system can play a major role in determining the party system, but it is not the only factor. This book does focus on the impact of electoral systems on representation and party systems, because the workings of electoral systems are relatively well understood qualitatively and also with some quantitative rigor. But we should remember (p.7) that historical and cultural factors may produce a different party system on the basis of the same electoral system.
Elector Indeed, if thon‐makers divided into two parties, these parties may wish to choose the plurality rule so as to block entry of new competitors. If, on the contrary, the initial decision‐makers are split into many parties, they may wish to play it safe and adopt proportional representation (PR) so as to reduce their risk of total elimination.‘But is this what we want to know about chess?’ess? Guess not.
St But even then, the rules would not be part of the game. Before sitting down at the chessboard, a player will not negotiate for fairer rules to prevail on the chessboard, threatening otherwise with boycott. No player will declare that, if s/he wins, s/he will change the rules. These rules are quite constant in space and time. They define the game rather than being part of the game. The loser cannot claim that the rules were biased.
Electoral rules also define the game, but they are part of it. They vary in space and time. Losers can blame them, and at times do. Change in electoral rules can be part of an election platform. Because these rules can be changed through political processes, the statistical and logical analysis of the properties of electoral systems is part of the study of politics, while the study of the consequences of various conceivable chess rules is not part of learning chess.
This is not to deny the strategic aspects of politics, which are subject to game‐theoretical approaches and conditioned by political culture and various path‐dependent factors. One need not even claim equal importance for institutional aspects and for electoral systems in particular. They are merely the limiting frames for political games. A good electoral system cannot save a polity where many other institutions, attitudes, and policies have broken down. And on the other hand, a healthy polity can find ways to compensate for a poor electoral system. However, an inadequate electoral system can contribute to crisis in the case of shaky polities—and most polities have their fragile aspects and periods.‘But is this chess?’ For chess, the response would be ‘No’, but for the study of politics, it is ‘Yes’, because here the rules are themselves part of the game.
For political scientists, electoral laws offer a further attraction: the possibility of institutional engineering. For the given votes, one can calculate the extent to which different electoral laws would have altered the composition of the representative assembly, and one can propose changes in laws. Of course, under different laws voters may have voted differently. For instance, a shift from plurality to PR may encourage voters to shift to third parties. Such tendencies also must be taken into account. Still, electoral laws may well be more conducive to institutional engineering than institutions firmly stipulated in constitutions, not to mention political culture.
The ms—the numbers of seats and votes, precise allocation algorithms, and the like—may attract those political scientists who yearn to discover quantitative regularities akin to those that have paid off in natural sciences. For the same reason, electoral studies may repel those who consider the study of politics an art rather than a science, or at most a science that thrives on richness of details rather than broad generalizations—zoology rather than molecular biology. Students of politics are largely reduced to nonrepeatable observations in vivo instead of repeatable in vitrolaboratory tests. Hence any general scientific laws in politics, if they exist at all, are bound to be hidden, submerged underneath considerable random scatter in data. This scatter may easily be construed as absence of general laws. This book, however, presents evidence that logical models can be constructed in the context of electoral systems, and that they lead to specific quantitative predictions, which are confirmed empirically by the averages of many elections, and even more by averages of many electoral systems.
This book first reviews the typology of electoral systems and introduces some analytical tools that make a comparative study of electoral systems possible. This overview of rules and tools is a prelude to the ‘Duvergerian agenda’ which has dominated the electoral studies for the last half‐century—the attempt to express the impact of the main features.
(p.10) The central part of the book presents recent advances in the macroscopic aspect of the Duvergerian agenda. These advances help us understand the logic of simple electoral systems to the degree for the average of many elections carried out under the same rules. Individual elections, of course, can vary wildly, just as daily weather can vary within a well‐defined climatic pattern. All this applies to simple systems. We are still far from being able to predict in detail the impact of complex electoral systems, but we have made marked progress during the last few decades.
Its? Tha ‘Rosetta Stone’ to some other parts of political science?
(1) Matthew S. Shugart, ‘The magnitude of the Hamas sweep: The electoral system did it’ (http://fruitsandvotes.com, visited on February 28, 2006), calculates the Hamas list vote as 44.5 percent. The complex multi‐seat nontransferable vote system, with many other embellishments, makes an exact count for candidates difficult.
