2001: International Workshop on vineyard landscapes; september 2010 joint World Heritage Centre/ICOMOS advisory mission
Conservation issues presented to the World Heritage Committee in 2011
On 1 February 2011, a report on the state of conservation of the World Heritage property was submitted by the State Party.
From 20to 25 September 2010, a joint World Heritage Centre/ICOMOS advisory mission visited the property, at the invitation of the State Party, to consider the impact of the straw-burning power plant in the buffer zone on the Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) of the property as well as the overall management of the property. The outcomes of that mission are included in the State Party's report. The mission report is available online at the following Web address: https://whc.unesco.org/en/sessions/35COM.
a) Current status of the straw-burning power plant
The State Party reports that there has been no change since the last Committee. After excavating for foundations, the developer stopped work, probably due to lack of funding. The State Party acknowledges that it has few means to reverse the permissions that have been already granted for the plant. However, although the environmental utilisation permit for the power plant does not expire until 30 April 2027, the deadline for its first required inspection is 30 April 2012, and the building permit expires in July 2012.
The mission noted that funding for the project was not ensured, as the financial backers from Japan had withdrawn and the State Investment Bank had declined to support the project. The mission also noted that it was now acknowledged that the procedures for permission for the plant had been inadequate, as the procedural rules of the Szerencs local authority did not include special provisions for the property, nor had the requirements laid down in the property Management Plan been 'adopted' as part of planning regulations. The local authority did not therefore consider the impact of the development on the property as an entity and neither did the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).
The Ombudsman for Future Generation made clear to the Mission that it was regrettable that the permission for the plant had been granted, and that an investigation launched by his office had highlighted concern over irregularities in the procedures that had been followed. Furthermore he considered that "the construction of the plant in the authorised form might have endangered the sustainability of environmental, natural and world heritage values through its negative impact in terms of transportation, intensive arable production, the growing of energy grass, and the emission of CO2."
The mission concluded that the construction of a large straw-burning power plant in the buffer zone near Szerencs city could have severe negative impacts on many of the attributes of the OUV and that every effort should be taken to halt this development. Furthermore the mission considered that the collection of straw, for any straw-burning power plant, should not take place within the property, nor within its current buffer zone, nor in the floodplains of Bodrogköz and Taktaköz rivers (as they are the origin of the mists that cause the botrytisation of grapes that is crucial for Tokaj wine), nor in places from which the collection routes would pass through one of these zones.
The State Party states that it will take these recommendations seriously when the review of the environmental permit takes place (before 30 April 2012).
b) World Heritage Law
The State Party reports that following the Hungarian general elections in 2010 the new government retracted for revision the first draft World Heritage law. The Government will submit to Parliament in 2011, a new draft, which is expected to frame the bill that will be adopted during the year. The law will regulate the procedural and organizational issues related to the management of World Heritage properties in Hungary, and also create the necessary financial support. This will greatly improve the current situation in Tokaj in which the management body of which is a very committed association, but does not have the appropriate legal power and also lacks adequate human and financial resources.
c) State of conservation and management of the property
The mission made recommendations which included the need for more detailed inventories of landscape patterns; area protection for settlements that could foster traditional building practices; an updated management plan with clearer governance arrangements; fostering opportunities for sustainable development and for optimising the assets of the property for the benefit of local communities; the management plan to inform local Spatial Plans, and to be formally 'adopted'; develop a more strategic approach to traffic management; ensure that further road widening is not undertaken in the property; and preserve existing road hedges from any encroachment by cultivation or by road widening.
The State Party in its report responded that many of these issues will be addressed in the re-drafting of the new management plan that will meet the requirements of the future World Heritage Law, apart from the recommendations for roads which will be considered more urgently in the light of consultations on road building programmes.
d) Boundaries and buffer zone
The mission recommended that the logic for the boundaries of the property be re-considered on the basis of the retrospective Statement of OUV, as currently there is no clear distinction in some places between the property and its buffer zone. The mission also considered that the buffer zone might be extended to take into account the concerns of ICOMOS at the time of inscription relating to adequate visual protection near Zalkod and Tokaj, and the need for the buffer zone to include ecological protection for the wetlands that foster the botrytisation process.
e) Mines and Quarries
The mission considered that there was a need to regulate quarries in the property and in the buffer zone. Small quarries that provide stone for local buildings could be seen as a continuation of a long standing tradition. However, large-scale quarries for road stone that impact on large swathes of the landscape cannot be justified and are not in line with the strategies in the management plan. The State Party reported that there is an application for a license for an andesite mine near the settlement of Szegi in the property that could impact adversely on the property. It has initiated a survey of existing and potential mining sites within the property and its buffer zone in October and this will be evaluated in 2011.
The State Party understood that at the time of inscription the boundaries of the property did not include the mining / quarrying site within the boundaries. The World Heritage Centre and the Advisory Bodies can confirm that the maps adopted at inscription did not show exclusion areas.
f) Possible trans-boundary extension
The State Party reports that the respective agencies and experts of the States Parties of Hungary and Slovakia have frequent working contacts. Hungary is open to further discussions on the possibility of extending the buffer zone of the property to the north.
Analysis and Conclusion by World Heritage Centre and the Advisory Bodies in 2011
The World Heritage Centre and the Advisory Bodies take note of the fact that work has halted on the construction of the large straw-burning power plant at Szerencs and urges the State Party to do all in its power to ensure that this plant is not constructed, in the light of the new understanding of the shortcomings in the approval process and the findings of the advisory mission that construction of such a plant would have a highly adverse impact on the OUV of the property.
They welcome the commitment of the State Party to put forward a World Heritage Bill and to take steps to strengthen the protection, documentation, and management systems of all World Heritage properties, the involvement of stakeholders and ways of delivering benefits in the context of overall sustainable development.
The World Heritage Centre and the Advisory Bodies note proposals for andesite mining within the property and underscore the need for clearer policies to be developed on what quarrying and mining might be compatible with the value of the property. They also consider that any proposals for road development in the property or its buffer zone need to be considered with the utmost care.
Decisions adopted by the Committee in 2011
Draft Decision
35 COM 7B.94

Biografia
In seguito al declino del commercio della lana, la ricchezza del mercante di sete Felice Brancacci crebbe rapidamente, fino a diventare uno dei protagonisti della vita politica ed economica della Firenze. Fu un diplomatico per la Repubblica Fiorentina e in questa qualità ebbe incarichi come quello di "console del mare" e priore della Signoria. Nel 1406 vinse una giostra in piazza Santa Croce durante i festeggiamenti della vittoria su Pisa. Fu quindi commissario dell'esercito fiorentino durante la guerra contro il Ducato di Milano. Felice era un sostenitore di papa Martino V e aveva importanti amicizie nel clero, come il cardinale Branda da Castiglione, il maestro generale dei domenicani Leonardo Dati e lo stesso papa Eugenio IV.

Nel 1422 fu incaricato, con Carlo Federighi, di portare un'ambasceria alla corte del sovrano d'Egitto per tendere nuovi rapporti commerciali tra la propria città e l'Oriente e nell'iniziativa fu aiutato dall'amicizia dei più eminenti fiorentini dell'epoca. L'ambasceria, di cui esiste un resoconto scritto dallo stesso Brancacci, fu un totale successo, tanto che ottenne dal sultano la circolazione del fiorino d'oro nelle piazze mercantili dello stato musulmano. Nel testamento redatto prima di partire per l'Egitto non vi è alcuna menzione a una cappella di famiglia.

Alcune prove indicano che Felice Brancacci, reggente un'importante carica nell'amministrazione fiscale della città, fosse spesso in urgente bisogno di denaro e forse tradì la fiducia riposta in lui.

Verso il 1423 commissionò a Masolino da Panicale la Cappella Brancacci in Santa Maria del Carmine (Firenze) (avuta in eredità da suo zio), dove lavorò anche il suo collaboratore Masaccio (creando una delle opere più significative del passaggio dall'arte tardogotica al Rinascimento). Il tema era quello delle storie di san Pietro, protettore della famiglia Brancacci. I lavori iniziarono probabilmente alla fine del 1424 e proseguirono forse fino al 1427-1428 quando Masaccio lasciò Firenze per Roma. La provenienza forse non del tutto lecita dei fondi potrebbe essere la spiegazione della totale mancanza di documentazione sulla cappella, né riguardo ad un contratto o ad una donazione alla chiesa, né riguardo ai pagamenti agli artisti.

Nel maggio del 1431 sposò Lena, figlia di Palla Strozzi; un matrimonio che lo proiettò ancor di più al centro della vita politica fiorentina, schierato nel partito del potente suocero.

Nel 1433, alcune potenti famiglie fiorentine, fra le quali gli Strozzi, prima imprigionarono e poi esiliarono a Padova e a Venezia Cosimo de' Medici. Quando Cosimo rientrò trionfalmente a Firenze nel 1434, Felice Brancacci fu dichiarato nemico della Repubblica ed esiliato a sua volta nel 1436. Nel 1458 Cosimo il Vecchio applicò ai suoi nemici esiliati una più dura "damnatio memoriae", cancellando ogni segno della casata dei Brancacci, anche dalla cappella nel Carmine, che venne riusata come luogo di culto mariano, trasferendovi una venerata maestà bizantina, la Madonna del Popolo (1268) e rintitolando la cappella.

La Cappella rimase così incompiuta, come testimonia il suo testamento (1432) e solo verso il 1480 la decorazione poté essere terminata da Filippino Lippi.

Nine people died after an under-construction building collapsed in southern India but a four-year-old boy and his mother were pulled alive from the rubble, police said on Saturday.
The seven-storey building where labourers and their families lived in the basement came crashing down late Thursday in Hyderabad, the state capital of Telangana, reports BSS.
"We can confirm that the toll has gone up to nine. Rescue workers had managed to pull out a mother and her child alive yesterday (Friday)," a senior police officer told AFP.
"The debris is still being removed," he said, requesting anonymity.
Emergency workers were using mechanical diggers and other equipment to remove mangled slabs of concrete and steel at the site, TV footage showed. The mother and her child were undergoing emergency treatment at a hospital while three more people remained unaccounted for, the officer added.
The state government has promised tough action against the building owner for alleged violation of construction rules as well as civic officials for dereliction of duty, the Press Trust of India news agency reported.
Deadly accidents at building sites are relatively common in India and are often blamed on a lack of safety measures. In July, nine labourers fell to their death from an under-construction residential tower in Mumbai after a concrete slab collapsed.

McCord had a number of freelance gigs around New Orleans, including a job as an in-game host for the Saints and the New Orleans Pelicans. She also worked for WDSU and ESPN.
The 30-year-old McCord was one of five people who died after a plane crashed in Lafayette, Louisiana. The plane was en route to the College Football Playoff game between LSU and Oklahoma. McCord's husband, Steven Ensminger Jr., is the son of LSU offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger.
It's the second time McCord has been honored in the press box. McCord also had a press box seat at the Sugar Bowl, which also took place at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.

A troca de populações entre a Grécia e a Turquia foi uma consequência da Guerra Greco-Turca, que opôs a recém-criada República da Turquia, sucessora do decrépito Império Otomano, e a Grécia, que aspirava a ficar com uma parte considerável da Anatólia. Foi a primeira transferência populacional forçada em larga escala do  e envolveu a troca entre os cidadãos gregos ortodoxos da Turquia e os cidadãos muçulmanos da Grécia. O único critério foi a religião, o que deu origem a situações algo absurdas de turcófonos serem obrigados a ir viver para a Grécia porque eram cristãos e de muçulmanos que não falavam turco a ir viver para a Turquia.

A convenção que determinou a troca de populações foi assinada em Lausana, Suíça, a  pelos governos da Turquia e da Grécia. A operação envolveu cerca de dois milhões de pessoas, sendo a maior parte delas forçada a ser refugiada e de jure (em termos legais) desnaturalizadas das suas terras ancestrais.

Deslocações
Depois do governo republicano turco baseado em Ancara ter rejeitado o Tratado de Sèvres, assinado em 1920 pelo governo imperial otomano de Istambul, foi organizada uma nova conferência de paz em Lausana para redigir um tratado que substituísse o Tratado de Sèvres. Enquanto a Conferência de Lausanne decorria, mas de forma separada dela e do Tratado de Lausanne que dela resultaria, foi assinada a "Convenção respeitante à troca de populações gregas e turcas", a , pelos governos da Grécia e da Turquia, por insistência dos líderes de ambos os países, Elefthérios Venizélos da Grécia e Kemal Atatürk  da Turquia.

Quando a troca foi oficialmente iniciada, em , a maior parte da população  grega da região egeia da Turquia tinha já abandonado as suas terras e fugido para a Grécia. Por esse facto, a troca só envolveu gregos da Anatólia Central (tanto falantes de  como turcófonos) e  gregos do  Ponto, totalizando  pessoas segundo as estimativas oficiais. O número total de muçulmanos envolvidos foi de . Deste ponto de vista, o acordo apenas ratificava o que já tinha sido perpetrado sobre a população grega e transformou a emigração unilateral em massa os gregos numa troca de populações respaldada por garantias internacionais. Dos  milhões de gregos envolvidos na troca, só cerca de 150 mil foram restabelecidos de forma ordenada. A maioria fugiu à pressa com a retirada do exército grego após a derrota grega. A fuga dos gregos de Esmirna foi particularmente dramática, tendo-se instalado o pânico quando as tropas turcas entraram na cidade.

Na Grécia, a troca foi considerada uma parte dos eventos conjuntamente chamados de "Castástrofe da Ásia Menor" (). Anteriormente já se tinham verificado movimentos significativos de populações a seguir à Guerra dos Balcãs, à Primeira Guerra Mundial e à Guerra de independência turca. Essas movimentações incluíram trocas e expulsões de cerca de  milhão de gregos da Ásia Menor e da Trácia Oriental e de cerca de meio milhão de muçulmanos da Grécia. Apesar da maior parte destes últimos serem turcos, também havia entre eles gregos muçulmanos, ciganos (roma) muçulmanos, pomaks (búlgaros muçulmanos), albaneses cham (da Chameria),  e dönmehs (criptojudeus oficialmente muçulmanos). Os gregos expulsos da Turquia eram principalmente das seguintes regiões: Anatólia Central (karamanlidas), Jónia (por exemplo: Esmirna e Ayvalık / Balıkesir), Ponto (por exemplo: Trebizonda e Samsun), Bursa (em grego: Prousas), Bitínia (por exemplo: İzmit/Nicomédia e Kadıköy/Calcedónia) e Trácia Oriental.

Consequências
Os turcos e outros muçulmanos da Trácia Ocidental, bem como os gregos de Istambul e das ilhas egeias de Imbros (Gökçeada) e Ténedos (Bozcaada), ficaram de fora da troca de populações. Devido às medidas discriminatórias adotadas pela república turca, a população grega da Turquia de Istambul declinou significativamente. Entre essas medidas está, por exemplo, a proibição em 1932 do exercício por parte dos gregos de trinta profissões e negócios, desde carpintaria a medicina, leis e imobiliário.

A Varlık Vergisi (imposto sobre lucros de capitais) de 1942, que na prática incidiu principalmente sobre não-muçulmanos, contribuiu para reduzir o potencial económico dos homens de negócio de etnia grega. Outra das causas para a aceleração da emigração de gregos foram os incidentes violentos dirigidos contra a comunidade grega, nomeadamente o Pogrom de Istambul, em 1955. A comunidade grega de Istambul, que contava com aproximadamente  pessoas em 1924, encolheu para pouco mais de  em 2006, em contraste com a situação na Grécia, onde no mesmo ano viviam dezenas de  milhares de muçulmanos e onde a comunidade turca contava com cerca de  pessoas, concentradas principalmente na Trácia Ocidental.

O perfil da população de Creta foi alterado significativamente. Os habitantes muçulmanos da ilha (turcos cretenses), quer de língua turca, quer de língua grega, emigraram principalmente para a costa mediterrânica da Anatólia, mas também para a Síria, Líbano e Egipto, Algumas destas pessoas ainda hoje se consideram etnicamente gregos. Por sua vez, gregos da Ásia Menor, principalmente originários de Esmirna, implantaram-se em Creta, trazendo com eles os seus dialetos, costumes e gastronomia.

Segundo Bruce Clark, editor do The Economist, tanto os líderes da Grécia como da Turquia como alguns círculos da comunidade internacional encaram a homogeneização étnica como algo positivo e estabilizador, pois ajudou a fortalecer a natureza de estado-nação desses dois países, mas, mesmo que essa apreciação seja correta, a operação implicou grandes sofrimentos para as populações expulsas das suas terras.

A deportação forçada levantou problemas óbvios e complicados, tanto sociais, como ser forçado a abandonar o local onde se vive, como de âmbito prático, como o abandono de um negócio familiar bem estabelecido. Os países também enfrentaram outros desafios práticos: por exemplo, passadas décadas ainda havia em Atenas áreas urbanas erigidas à pressa para acolher as populações em fuga da Ásia Menor. Ainda hoje, tanto na Grécia como na Turquia, há propriedades, quando não povoações inteiras, como Kayaköy que estão abandonadas desde a troca de populações.

From The History of Lincoln Waites
Lincoln Races - A New Song
"This broadsheet was printed in 1798 by a local printer, Drury, who gave his address as 'opposite the bank'. We can be certain of the date because it was printed on the broadsheet. If we employ a little careful guesswork here, we might reach the conclusion that Drury meant the Smith Ellison Bank, where Lincoln Corporation held accounts. If that is the case, then Drury's shop was at the junction of Silver Street and High Street, just North of the Stonebow. Today in this position stands a travel agent (on the East side) and the House of Fraser (on the North Side)".
"To choose the subject of horse racing for a broadside would have made very good business sense to John Drury, as he was Clerk to the Racecourse. The song appears (to me) to have been designed especially to be sold to the crowds attending Lincoln Races."
The Clerk to the Course
"In the early 19th century John Drury (the Printer) was the Clerk to the Race Course. He printed tickets and supplied any other stationery that was required. His bill for October 1811 was £32.10s (L1/4/1/2) and for September 1818, £34.8s.6d (L1/4/1/3).
Drury was a printer by trade and a few years earlier, in 1798, he had printed a broadsheet entitled Lincoln Races.".

.. that the designer of Clare's very distinctive gravestone, memorably described by Charles Causley as 'an upturned stone boat', was one Michael Drury, a Lincoln architect, who happens to have been a son of Edward Bell Drury, the Stamford bookseller, originally from Lincoln.
.. Edward Drury also had a brother named Michael, a Philadelphia bookseller .. There was also a George Drury, of Barholm, near Market Deeping, on the committee that raised funds for the gravestone.

CLARE, John	(1819)	UMS/CLARE/11
Part of a letter, beginning: "Sir I Return your Book with my thanks I have many New Pieces but no time to Copy them . . ." including "My First Attempts at Poetry are nearly Publish'd They have this Title 'Pastoral Sketches in Poems Songs Ballads & Sonnets By John Clare A Northamptonshire Pheasant' [sic!]"; the letter ends mid-sentence with "Drury wish'd me to mention that when you". On the other side, in pencil, is part of the poem "The Fountain", but with the right-hand side of all the lines cut off.
From Pat Carey's family tree:
Married Elizabeth Colton (1757-1818)
Thomas Drewry 1786 -
Sarah Drewry 1788 - 1879
Samuel Drewry 1793 -
James Drewry 1796 -
Who is this John Drewry?
In A dictionary of printers and printing:
"1812, May. Died John Drury printer and bookseller Lincoln, aged seventy two years. He was postmaster of the city of Lincoln and father of Mr Drury printer at Stafford."
[Is this a mistake? Is it really a reference to Joshua?]
The 1841 census has:
John Drewry aged 84 (ie born 1757)
shown as being of 'independent means'
staying with Benjamin Drewry aged 56 (Farmer)
and Ann Drewry aged 20.
They were living at the time at Crowle, Lincolnshire, but John Drewry was shown as not being born in the parish. (Could this be the John Drury born in Newark-on-Trent in 1757?)
The 1841 census also has (living next door to John and Benjamin):
Ann Drewry aged 56 (not born in Crowle)
Happy Drewry aged 17
The Crowle Burial records show that a John Drewry (abode: Windsor, - a village just outside Crowle) was buried in January, 1845 aged 88.
IGI shows an Ann Drury born 23 Aug 1820 and christened 26 Aug 1820 in Crowle, father Benjamin Drury and mother Ann.
Happy Drewry married a Timothy Belton, farmer of 27 acres in 1848.
From freeBMD: Marriages:	Dec 1848,	Drewry Happy,	Thorne,	23 723.
Her final days were probably not happy. Aged 68 she is in Rotheram Union workhouse.
John Drewry died on 21st January 1845 aged 88 (i.e. born 1757) in Crowle.
Benjamin Drewry was christened on 19th Nov 1783 in Crowle; parents: John Drewry and Ann.
The only marriage in IGI of a John Drewry and Ann in Lincolnshire within 10 years of Benjamin's birth is a John Drewery to Ann Stubbs in 1775 in South Somercotes - 30 miles south of Lincoln.
It should be noted that:
there were two Benjamin Drewry/Drurys born within 8 miles of each other.
There was another Benjamin Drewry (in IGI) born in Haxey on 11/6/1784 who also married an Ann! This Benjamin is shown in the 1851 census as a Farmer of 30 acres.
To confuse things further, his father was Robert Drewry and mother Ann (believed to be Ann Barton married in Epworth in 1799.
A Benjamin Drewry died on 3/12/1843 age 58 (ie born 1785) which agrees with 1841 census age) in Crowle (buried at St Oswald, same as John Drewry).
Ann Drewry was buried at St Oswald Crowle on 17/7/1846 aged 62 ie b 1784. (These death records from Find my past parish records.)
Martin Burnell has a tree which suggests that this John is NOT the son of Robert but rather the son of a cousin of Robert.
The naming of John and Jane's children is consistent with the details in the above tree; i.e.: Edward Wilson and Sarah named for John's mother
Burial of Thomas in Carlton le Moorland:
Carlton le Moorland is between Lincoln and Newark.
Information from Martin Burnell:
"I am very confident that my information about the descendants of John Drury, printer and postmaster of Lincoln and his wife Jane Wold (Would) is accurate since it is verified from more than one source."
" .. I received from a cousin of mine who is descended like me from Edward Bell Drury, some notes prepared by her father .. accompanied by a letter dated 1st January 1902 from George Herbert Drury, a grandson of Edward Bell Drury and nephew of Alice Drury who commissioned the [original]research."
"The letter from George Herbert Drury contains a number of interesting points. He says the information has been obtained from parish registers, but the one point he is not sure about is whether Thomas Drury born 1692 is correct. He refers to a visit made by John Taylor, the publisher (son of Sarah Drury and James Taylor and grandson of William Drury and Sarah Wilson) to his uncle, Thomas Drury b 1728. This visit is also referred to on the formal copy of the family tree and dated 1809. Thomas (b. 1728) according to George Herbert was then between 80 and 90 years old and said his father lived in Algarkirk. The family tree also records a visit made by Thomas (b. 1728) to his uncle Joshua at Stonebow, Lincoln in 1740. This appears to be a link to your Joshua Drury (b. 1700)."
"George Herbert Drury says he is certain that John Drury and Mary were Thomas' grandparents and were living in Lincoln in 1694.
He refers to a book that says John Drury was Chamberlain of Lincoln in 1696.
He also says that 'all Robert's and Joshua's issue spelt their name Drewry or Drewery.
He mentions other Drurys living in Bridlington who he thought were related to the Drurys of Derby."
"There does seem to be significant doubt as to whether Thomas b 1692 is the father of William, although there is a clear family tradition that Joshua (b. 1700) was William's uncle.
The formal family tree correctly records Joshua's four children, although it does not mention his siblings Robert, John, William, Mary, Edward and Samuel.
A note from Anne Walbank says that Thomas was also called Samuel. Following this clue, I found the marriage of Samuel Drury to Elizabeth Jime in Newark on 12 Jun 1717 and the birth of Thomas on 20th October 1729 and William on 10th April 1731."
" .. I have found a son Thomas, born in 1692 to John Drury and Mary.
There is an IGI entry for 1 Nov 1692 in Leake, near Boston, Lincolnshire. Of course this was just prior to their marriage and may be a coincidence, or she may have been sent away to have the baby as they were not yet married."
" .. It is interesting to see the migration back and forward between Derby, Nottinghamshire and Lincoln. John married in Nottinghamshire, had his children in Lincoln, son Samuel married in Newark and his children were born there but he later lived in Derby. I am not sure where Algarkirk comes in. Samuel's son William married in Mansfield and the children were all born in Newark, but William's son John returned to Lincoln. This is a pattern I have seen elsewhere - it is easier to move to a new town if you have relatives there."


Council and housing associations are evicting far too many social tenants and making them homeless and this is THE main issue not tenants who are evicted by private landlords!
• UK has 53% private properties and 47% socially rented ones.
• UK evictions show 54% private to 46% social housing evictions.
These are not contentious facts and official figures and they reveal eviction rates of tenants correspond to the type of landlord and this is deeply concerning. In context and for any semblance of a like-for-like comparison you almost need a special dispensation from the Pope to evict the social tenant while the private landlord can evict without any reason whatsoever.
Social (sic) landlord evictions are thus staggeringly and disproportionately high in any like-for-like comparison with the private rented sector.
Why? – Why are evictions of social tenants so illogically high? Why? – Why has there been no recognition of the fact that social tenant evictions are so unreasonably and disproportionately high? How the hell has this been missed?
I suspect it is because we don't want to recognise this fact in the first place let alone address the problems it creates in homelessness. Just to recognise and accept it – and the fact cannot be denied – means that attention is drawn away from the ease of evicting the private tenant with its legal framework of no-fault evictions and thus insecure tenure private tenants have.
We can and should still state that no-fault evictions are anathema and campaign for better protection and rights for private tenants and there is increasing evidence that all political parties are more inclined to act in this area, even the Conservative Party are more inclined to regulate the private rental market and this was also apparent before the last election and not just a convenient position taken now they have little authority as government.
YET given that social landlord evictions are so high despite the legal constraints and difficulties social landlords face in evicting the social tenant and despite much tighter regulation of the social housing sector than the private landlord sector we find that in any like-for-like comparison that social tenant evictions are a greater number and a greater problem.
That paragraph above is one I thought I would never write. It reads like a political theoretical tract from an uber right-wing polemic from a free marketeer chinless policy wonk; and also reads like an apologia for the private landlord to remain unshackled and to deny the need for any form of regulation or scrutiny of the free market private landlord. Both of these positions are anathema yet the excessively high social landlord eviction rate in comparison to the private landlord eviction rate gives grounds (no pun intended) for those arguments to be given oxygen.
This is why I suspect awareness of the unreasonably and illogically high social (sic) landlord eviction rate is kept quiet and not reported as doing so would let the 'nasty' private landlord off the hook – yet in taking that position it lets the nasty social landlord off the hook!
The hypocrisy of the social landlord good private landlord bad strategy that the (claimed) social housing sector has propagated and repeated as a mantra to any criticism of social landlords for decades unravels starkly here and as a result the social tenant gets shafted and the dire problem of social landlord evictions is not addressed. Is that a consequence of two-thirds of social tenants having a private registered provider – the correct name for housing associations – as landlord and who have no legal duties to house or rehouse anyone unlike councils who do because they are public authorities?
I suspect so as a tenant evicted by a housing association becomes the problem of and cost to a council and no longer a problem for the housing association. The evicted and former HA social tenant is a victim of social dumping.
We need to urgently address the major problem of the eviction of social tenants and its unacceptably and illogically high number. It could be the increasing use of the same no-fault eviction tenure (AST) by soicial landlords that private landlords operate in starter and introductory tenants that is reason for this high rate. It could be the increasing use of the only mandatory eviction reason and thus one step removed no-fault eviction in Ground 8 used by housing associations and which councils cannot use. It could be the increasing private rental arms of both housing associations and councils using AST to give them this no-fault eviction option too.
It is likely to be a combination of these issues yet whatever is causing the excessive, unacceptable and excessively high social (sic) landlord eviction numbers it has to be recognised, scrutinized and addressed.
The numbers of evictions by tenure and the detail of those numbers is contained here which also asks why the hell the usual suspects of JRF, Guardian, Shelter and the rest of the great and good of the housing commentariat failed to even spot the very high social tenant eviction rate.
Since I published that post I note that the usual politicians in the Labour Party and the Green Party have welcome and promoted the JRF report in the same sycophantic way and backed its calls for greater regulation of the private rented sector while saying absolutely bugger all about the high rate and number of social tenant evictions. For once it would be positive if they could recognise fact and not predetermined assumption!
Hi. I agree with nearly all of what you say. In fact I have written a critique of the Joseph Rowntree paper myself and tried to get it published in the Guardian, but didn't even get a reply! Dan Wilson Craw of Generation Rent and Campbell Robb, now of JRF, seem to have a direct conduit to get all their flawed arguments aired. And then the Guardian posts adverts on FB asking for donations as it is an 'independent' newspaper.
I do wonder, however, what you think about 'legitimate evictions' as you seem to imply that evictions are wrong in principle. I think we need clear data on reasons for evictions. As a landlord, whenever I have had to use the so-called 'no fault' eviction of Section 21, it has never been a 'no fault' eviction; it has always been the tenants' fault, because they haven't paid the rent – sometimes for months on end and quite often with there having been no change in their circumstances and earning quite good money. Even if they had had a change of circumstances and lost their job for instance, I am not a charity and I then pay the mortgage and all expenses out of my savings. If evictions are never legitimate, I would have to do this for the rest of the tenants' lives. I don't mean to be facetious, but I would like to know your thoughts on when evictions are legitimate – both in the private and social sectors.
Excellent point Rosalind, I think that there is little point comparing eviction rates if the reasons for the evictions are not taken into account (not just the route by which the eviction is obtained, e.g. a "no fault" s21 eviction). It should never be the case that landlords, social or private, cannot evict bad tenants, and it should never be presumed that all tenants are innocent or not at fault for bringing about the situation that leads to their eviction.
As most social housing tenants still have assured or secure tenancies, (so the courts have far more discretion to refuse or suspend the possession), then logic says that in order for social landlords to be achieving a similar proportion of evictions (i.e. successful possessions) as private landlords, then social landlords must actually be issuing a much higher proportion of eviction proceedings against their tenants? I wonder if there are any figures as to how many social housing tenants per 1000 are issued with court proceedings, as compared with tenants of private landlords?
Why wouldn't you use a section 8 for a tenant that hasn't paid rent for months?
There are lots of reasons why possessions proceedings based on a s21 notice process may be preferable to a s8 notice, for example, the s8 ground 8 notice requires there to be 8 weeks rent arrears at the date of notice and at the date of the issuing of the court proceedings, so a tenant who is always in rent arrears and could reduce their arrears down to 7 weeks at the date of issuing the court proceedings, then after the court hearing they could let the rent arrears build up again. The landlord would then have to start the possession process again. During this time there could be anti-social behaviour occurring, and this is very difficult to prove as getting sufficient evidence is hard to do, but other residents (e.g. neighbours) could be suffering nuisance. This is just one example of why a landlord may choose the certainty of using the s21 Notice route, rather than the less certain s8 Notice route, to gaining possession.
Hi, I am trying to get any contact details possible for Joe Halewood. I am am running out of options fast. Very long story but my landlord partners for Islington are seeking repossession for bedroom tax. According to everything I have read 2 rooms in this property are not legally bedrooms, but they just say point blank yes they are, no matter what arguments etc I put to them. I have a solicitor but she has even told me that no judge has went against Islington Council on basis of room sizes. I really don't want to say too much, but I have a lot of health problems and if my children end up homeless I know it will push me over the edge, and make me suicidal. I am not on here to be slated or slagged off, I really need help. People say go to newspapers, but then all my neighbours will know I have mental health issues.

Expect Great Things - A Review
March 21, 2017 by Andrew Spencer in Book Review
Expect Great Things is a spiritual biography of Henry David Thoreau. It provides an in-depth exploration of the nuances of this celebrated individualistic naturalist. Kevin Dann does the dirty work of digging through Thoreau's various writings, including his copious personal diaries and correspondence, and correlating those informal writings with his published works.
If Dann's biography of Thoreau is taken seriously, the work that some have done to include Thoreau on the list of vaguely Christian environmentalists should be viewed skeptically. The image Dann presents is of a man who held both strong skepticism of Christian truth with credulous belief in some of the spiritualistic superstitions common in early America. Thoreau certain used language that resonated with Christianity in some of his writings, but his own beliefs were far afield from orthodoxy by any reasonable reading. Dann argues that Thoreau was fascinated with Christ but rejected Christianity. However, to love the man and hate his bride does not show much affection for the loved object.
In addition to presenting the meandering spirituality of Thoreau over the course of his life, Expect Great Things provides a window into the complex and often bizarre spiritual beliefs that were common in ante-bellum America. Dann surveys the rise in popularity of the Freemasons, with their uniquely American adaptations. He spends several pages covering the evolution of the Mormon cult, the various prophetic cults that arose in the early 19th century, and the perversions of Christianity that arose from the Millerites and other pseudo-Christian digressions.
Some of this supernaturalism apparently came from incomplete understanding of natural science. Just as pseudo-Christianity was common, so was pseudo-science. Meteor showers were described in periodicals as divine signs. Accounts of sea serpents were accepted as factual and often embellished. Final conclusions were published about natural phenomena based on partial observations. This led to supernatural explanations for natural events and misinformation about much that would be later clarified. According to Dann, Thoreau's practice of careful observation was an improvement over many other naturalists of the day.
The structure of this book is weak. The story of Thoreau's life meanders through chronologically. There are chapter breaks, but there is often little clear reason for the distinction in chapters. The volume has no introduction and thus the reader is left to try to figure out what Dann's purpose is in writing the book; there is no clear thesis. The aimless wandering of the book may provide a suitable simile for the life of Henry David Thoreau, but that sort of literary experiment is more effective in essays than in book length biographies.
The concluding paragraphs transition with little warning from anecdotes of Thoreau to the moral that Dann appears to want to draw. Based on those few paragraphs, it appears that Thoreau's life is supposed to reflect the good of radical individualism codified into law based on universally accepted facts that are epistemologically impossible. In short, this account (and perhaps the actual life of Thoreau) represents the impossible tension between the desire to express and the prohibition of contrary expression that we see in modern culture. As such, Dann may have uncovered the patron saint for some in our confused time, but what he highlights in the life of Thoreau provides little worth emulating for those committed to the possibility and importance of pursuing truth.
Despite its weaknesses in form, Expect Great Things has a place within contemporary discourse on Thoreau. Dann sets Thoreau in historical context quite well. He pushes against the idea of a Christian Thoreau and presents more thoroughly the Thoreau that many have seen in the pages of the man's work. Dann adds to the field of study by presenting a nuanced, robust, and realistic portrait of Thoreau's spiritualism. This is also an interesting look into the spiritual climate of the early nineteenth century. For individuals interested in a casual, entertaining read about Henry David Thoreau, this book may be a real treat.

A New Biography of Eric Liddell - For the Glory
I read biographies because it puts me in contact with better men and women, most of whom have died and whose lives can be measured with more accuracy and finality than the living. This is a sanctifying process, since it humbles me to recognize my own weakness in comparison to the greatness of others.
When it comes to the recent biography of Eric Liddell, For the Glory, I have found a man whose sandals I am unworthy to untie.
Liddell has been immortalized in contemporary culture with the Oscar winning movie Chariots of Fire. That film tells the tale to Liddell's relatively short running career which cultivated in his surprising world record and gold medal finish in the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris. Previously, when I thought of Liddell, I always heard the synthesizer playing the familiar theme and thought of giving up a chance at more gold medals to honor sabbatarian traditions. The movie ends with a brief, abrupt epilogue that indicates that the hero died in an internment camp in China during WWII.
Another picture emerges in other biographies I've encountered. The YWAM biography and other simplified biographies written by Christians paint a portrait of a saint, telling a powerful story for an audience looking for a Christian hero. Danny Akin has preached a sermon using the life of Eric Liddell as an extended illustration.
I expected these sorts of biographies to paint Liddell in a positive light as the protagonist in a compelling sports movie and as a great missionary who died for the cause.
When I picked up Duncan Hamilton's recent biography, I was expecting a much less flattering picture. A missionary biography written by an apparent non-believer with no clear Christian sympathies printed by a secular publisher is bound to find all the dirt and put it out so everyone can see it. I expected to find private details with hints of suspicious activities at every turn. That, however, is not the case.
The portrait of Liddell that emerges from this volume is of a man whose serious, meticulous devotion to God was rewarded by such a degree of sanctification that he was able to risk his life for Christ without thinking twice. In fact, the man once pushed two wounded men in a wheelbarrow through the countryside filled with Japanese aggressors because they would have otherwise died. He faced harassment, theft, confiscation of his property, and separation from his wife with a good attitude for the sake of the cross. The picture Hamilton paints is one of a saint who did great things for the Lord with a gracious attitude and without neglecting the other good things in his life as a consequence.
The book is divided into three parts. Part One focuses on Liddell's childhood through his Olympic victories. These chapters line up well with other biographies I've read and generally support the well-known story that has been seen on screen as Chariots of Fire. Part Two explores Liddell's work as a missionary in China, including his courtship of his wife, his continued athletic efforts, and his focus on doing the work God called him to. An interesting wrinkle to the legend of Liddell is that he didn't absolutely reject the possibility of running in another Olympics. His faith was not a call to asceticism. Rather, it was the British Olympic Committee that failed to engage a man who might have won the U.K. another gold. This section was largely new ground for me and very engaging. Part Three expands on Liddell's life in the Japanese internment camp, about which much less has been known than about other parts of Liddell's story. Hamilton conducted a host of interviews of other internees to expand the available information about a great hero of the faith.
What Hamilton has done here deserves notice. He took a Christian hero whose story has been told before and he made it better. Hamilton added to the field of missiology by writing a careful history of someone who has been celebrated widely. He did this without slipping into dismissiveness of Liddell's convictions or snarky digressions about the foolishness of his faith. Hamilton should be praised for adding a critical work on Liddell that doesn't fall into the too common trap of attacking the biography's subject in order to add interest. There are no "daddy complex" narratives or secret abuse allegations. What the reader gets is honest history told exceptionally well.
Even if missionary biographies don't keenly interest you, this book is worth your time. Hamilton writes so very well. His retelling of Liddell's life story is detailed but lively, carefully crafted but not pedantic, honest but complimentary. In short, this is a great book that deserves to be read and widely.

Q: Saving form values with php and calling cookie using SESSION I am making a form in html. When a person clicks on submit, it checks if certain fields are filled correctly, so pretty simple form so far.
However, i want to save the text which is typed into the fields, if a person refreshes the page. So if the page is refreshed, the text is still  in the fields.
I am trying to achieve this using php and a cookie.
   // Cookie

   $saved_info = array();
   $saved_infos = isset($_COOKIE['offer_saved_info']) ? explode('][',
   $_COOKIE['offer_saved_info']) : array();

   foreach($saved_infos as $info)
   {
      $info_ = trim($info, '[]');
      $parts = explode('|', $info_);

      $saved_info[$parts[0]] = $parts[1];
   }

   if(isset($_SESSION['webhipster_ask']['headline']))
      $saved_info['headline'] = $_SESSION['webhipster_ask']['headline'];

    // End Cookie

and now for the form input field:

<input type="text" id="headline"

value="<?php echo isset($_SESSION['webhipster_ask']['headline']) ?
$_SESSION['webhipster_ask'] ['headline'] : ''; ?>"

tabindex="1" size="20" name="headline" />

I am new at using SESSION within php, so my quesiton is:
Is there a simpler way of achieving this without using a cookie like above?
Or what have i done wrong in the above mentioned code?

A: First thing is I'm pretty sure you're echo should have round brackets around it like:
echo (isset($_SESSION['webhipster_ask']['headline']) ? value : value)

That's not really the only question your asking though I think.
If you're submitting the data via a form, why not validate using the form values, and use the form values in your html input value. I would only store them to my session once I had validated the data and moved on.
For example:
<?php
session_start();
$errors=array();

if($_POST['doSubmit']=='yes')
{
    //validate all $_POST values
    if(!empty($_POST['headline']))
    {
        $errors[]="Your headline is empty";
    }
    if(!empty($_POST['something_else']))
    {
        $errors[]="Your other field is empty";
    }

    if(empty($errors))
    {
        //everything is validated
        $_SESSION['form_values']=$_POST; //put your entire validated post array into a session, you could do this another way, just for simplicity sake here
        header("Location: wherever.php");
    }
}
if(!empty($errors))
{
    foreach($errors as $val)
    {
        echo "
".$val."
";
    }
}
?>

<form name="whatever" id="whatever" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="doSubmit" id="doSubmit" value="yes" />

<input type="text" id="headline" value="<?php echo $_POST['headline'];?>" tabindex="1" size="20" name="headline" />

<input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>

Q: Routing not worked in istio ingress gateway I have an VM on Hyper-V running Kubernetes on it. I set the istio-ingressgateway as you see below.
apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: Gateway
metadata:
  name: tech-ingressgateway
  namespace: tech-ingress-ns
spec:
  selector:
    istio: ingressgateway # default istio ingressgateway defined in istio-system namespace
  servers:
    - port:
        number: 80
        name: http
        protocol: HTTP
      hosts:
        - '*'
    - port:
        number: 443
        name: https
        protocol: HTTPS
      tls:
        mode: PASSTHROUGH
      hosts:
        - '*'

I open two ports one is for http and second is for https. And I have two backend Service whose virtual service definition are;
apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: VirtualService
metadata:
  name: activemq-vs
  namespace: tech-ingress-ns

      route:
        - destination:
            host: activemq-svc.tech-ns.svc.cluster.local
            port:

            port:
              number: 7002

The istio-ingressgateway hit successfully using curl as curl 192.168.x.x, but when I try to hit the activemq-backend-service it fails. I don't know why. The same issue I face while accessing the userprofile service. here is my curl command
curl -i 192.168.x.x/activemq
curl -i 192.168.x.x/userprofile
curl -i 192.168.x.x/userprofile/getUserDetails

The userProfile service has three endpoints which are; getUserDetails, verifyNaturalOtp and updateProfile.

A: As per pod description shared, neither istio-init nor istio-proxy containers arent injected into application pod.  So routing might not be happening from gateway to application pod.  The namespace / deployment has to be istio enabled so that at the time application pod creation it will inject istio sidecar into it.  Post that routing will happen to application.

A: Your Istio sidecar is not injected into the pod. You would see an output like this in the Annotations section for a pod that has been injected:
              pod-template-hash=546859454c
              security.istio.io/tlsMode=istio
              service.istio.io/canonical-name=userprofile
              service.istio.io/canonical-revision=latest

                {"initContainers":["istio-init"],"containers":["istio-proxy"],"volumes":["istio-envoy","istio-data","istio-podinfo","istio-token","istiod-...

You can enforce the injection at the namespace level with the following command:
kubectl label namespace <namespace> istio-injection=enabled --overwrite

Since the injection takes place at the pod's creation, you will need to kill the running pods after the command is issued.
Check out the Sidecar Injection Problems document as a reference.


Function is what the all aluminum MirroCraft Utility V boat series is all about. They are built as tough and rugged as can be to stand up to the rigors of years of hard use. Popular with boat camps and resorts these utility boats are very low maintenance. Cross ribs are spaced every 10" and strong transom bracing along with rigid tank seats insure a very strong and safe hull. All interiors are finished in a non-glare, non-slip finish and all utility fish models feature transom carry handles. Utility V boat models range from 12'-16' and these boats have max horsepower ratings that range from 10 to 25 hp.


Being the only few Muslim Italian Restaurants, this authentic Italian Restaurant is extremely under-rated. "Kucina" means "kitchen" in Italy, and over the weekends, huge amount of muslim communities will patronise this restaurant. And being just 1 year old, its reputation is mainly built through word of mouth, with its regulars coming back frequently.
Its layout is simple yet purposeful. To accommodate big group of families, the tables and seating arrangement are flexible. It even has bar seats for you to watch the Chef prepare your food right before you!
Chef Gero is a very experienced chef of 24 years in Italy cuisines before opening his own restaurant a year ago. Being very confident in the quality of his creations, he is not very big on marketing. "If your food is good, people will come" – and these are his very words. Everything is made from scratch and recipes are only known to the chef himself. Being in Singapore for so many years and being supported by a muslim wife, you will not be wrong to give this restaurant a try!
This homemade potato dumpling with fresh salmon and leeks in tomato cream sauce is unique because each batch of Gnocchi is made by Chef Gero himself, purely by feel. He is so familiar with the ratio of potato and flour that just by feeling the texture, he will know when it is adequate.
Each Gnocchi is so soft that it almost melts in your mouth while it spilts within to reveal a cheesy taste (Chef Gero did not mention any cheese, but I suspect there is)! Cubes of salmon and slices of leek become the matching sides to the potato dumplings in the tangy sauce. You probably can't find such quality of gnocchi anywhere else!
These golden balls contains minced beef with saffron rice, rolled into a ball with mozzarella and parmesan cheese! In Italy, Arancini Siciliani is actually a street food.
Crispy on the outside, but texture within is like a croquette. Every ball is handmade!
For each bite, the chesse pull becomes obvious! And each ball is full of quality ingredients!
This dessert platter consists of a variety of mini desserts including Sicilian Cannoli, Pannacotto, cream brulee (French dessert), tiramisu and other chef creations.
This Sicilian Cannoli is uniquely made from scratch by Chef Gero – a really nutty and fragrant creation that can't be easily imitated.
This Tiramisu is one of the most popular dessert choices here. Instead of cream to make it set, Chef Gero makes mousse-like base from scratch. Every spoon of this produces strong espresso tastes.
Mild bitterness from the caramelized sugar layer gives a contrast to the sweet and soft cream brulee.
Have you heard of non-alcoholic wine? Chef Gero gets his wine certified from Spain, whereby the liquid is filtered till the alcohol content is eliminated. The red and white wine both tastes like wine, but the interesting fact is that you will never get drunk on these! The White wine is a must try!

Sayonara to World Finance Sisters?
Richard Rahn
Do you think the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (WB) should be abolished? These sister organizations had their annual spring meetings in Washington this past weekend. It is obvious to everyone that both organizations are in deep trouble.
The two organizations were conceived at a Bretton Woods, N.H., conference in July 1944. The IMF was given primary responsibility for ensuring the stability of the international monetary and financial system and, specifically, to manage gold-denominated fixed-exchange rate system set up then (but abolished in 1973).
The World Bank is actually a group of five international organizations whose principal mission is to provide development finance and advice in order to eliminate global poverty. For several decades, responsible critics of the World Bank (including a number of its former senior professionals, such as former chief economist and Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz and distinguished economist William Easterly) have presented considerable evidence that the institution has created many more problems than it has solved.
The primary mission of the WB was misperceived at the beginning, and hence it was doomed to failure. Back in 1944, there was the widespread belief that if governments in poor countries were provided funds for infrastructure and other development they could quickly become more prosperous. As we now know, government officials spending other peoples' money on politically determined projects usually results in overspending and poor performance, even in wealthy democracies. In poor countries, the results are almost always worse. So all too much of the money the WB acquired from middle-class taxpayers in wealthy countries went merely to enrich government officials and corrupt leaders in poor countries.
The WB, because of lack of accounting controls and proper oversight and transparency, fueled corruption and oppression in Africa and elsewhere. In addition, the poor people who did not benefit from WB spending ended up saddled with the debt they were obligated to repay to the WB.
In 1990, I was the co-chairman of the Bulgarian economic transition team, sponsored by the National Chamber Foundation and the Bulgarian government. As part of our effort, we were trying to privatize most state-owned companies, including the state telephone company. Behind our backs, the WB provided a loan to the state telephone monopoly with a provision the government could not allow private competition. When I confronted the responsible WB official, he said it was more important that the WB be paid back than that the people of Bulgaria have private competing telecoms (i.e., lower prices and better service). Even today, this is still too much of the mentality at the WB. There has been some improvement in oversight and transparency in recent years, but far too many WB projects are still poorly thought out, incompetent in administration, and, of course, corrupt.
When Paul Wolfowitz took over as World Bank president in June 2005, he made anti-corruption among the WB borrowers, contractors, and even bank employees a central priority. Of course, the corrupt governments and their supporters, the corrupt contractors, and even some bank employees complained. Mr. Wolfowitz then made the foolish mistake of giving several of the folks he brought with him and his girl friend (a WB official) big salary increases, thus undermining his anti-corruption campaign and setting himself up for slaughter by his enemies.
The WB is so inherently flawed it can neither be fixed nor justified on a reasonable cost-benefit basis. As the late development economist Peter Bauer explained, if the institutions and policies are right in a country, it can obtain all of the investment funds it needs from domestic and foreign private sources without foreign aid, and if the institutions and policies are not right, no amount of foreign aid can succeed. Knowing what we do now, the World Bank would never have been established in first place, and thus it should be abolished before it does any more damage.
The case of the IMF is more complex in that it has made major mistakes, e.g., forcing poor countries to increase taxes, and by being the lender of last resort to irresponsible countries adding to global systemic risk. But it has also had some successes, e.g., helping to establish the banking, financial and monetary systems in some of the former communist countries.
Its current problems stem from the fact the IMF obtains its operating funds from the loans it makes to governments in distress, and now that most of its big debtors have repaid their loans, the IMF income is hundreds of millions of dollars below its costs. During its fat days, the IMF engaged in almost endless and unnecessary mission creep and general bureaucratic bloat with far too many highly paid people.
If the IMF radically downsized and restricted itself to data collection, promoting orderly international payments and the expansion of trade, and some limited technical assistance (all which it could do with a tenth of its current staff and budget), it might be able to justify its continued existence.
Saying goodbye to the WB and much of the IMF is likely to have the same beneficial results that welfare reform had in the U.S. When governments, like individuals, have no choice but to take more responsibility for their own actions, most will.

Preamble Bridge circuits have been in use for well over 150 years. To date, the bridge is still the most economical circuit technique for accurately measuring resistance. The original bridge circuit topology has had many unique modifications and has been applied to applications such as AC measurements, automatic balancing, oscillators, and amplifiers. Perhaps the best known application for Samuel Hunter Christie's circuit is the bridge strain gage for strain type measurements in mechanical assemblies and building structures.
