Artsakh FM sends letter to UNESCO Director-General
Artsakh Foreign Minister Masis Mayilian has sent a letter to the UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay.
STEPANAKERT, NOVEMBER 20, ARTSAKHPRESS: The letter reads as follows:
"On November 19, Foreign Minister of the Republic of Artsakh Masis Mayilian sent a letter to the UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay regarding the facts of desecration and acts of vandalism committed by the Azerbaijani side against Armenian historical, religious and cultural monuments.
The letter states that as a result of the military aggression launched by Azerbaijan on September 27 against the Republic of Artsakh with the support of Turkey significant part of the territory of Artsakh, where numerous cultural monuments of Armenian heritage are located, fell under the military occupation of Azerbaijan.
The Foreign Minister drew attention to the fact that "videos and photos are distributed on the Internet that show inscriptions in Azerbaijani on the walls of the Church of the Holy Savior in the city of Shushi, individual sculptures that make up the composite part of the Church are destroyed, and artifacts located directly in the Church are damaged. During the period of active military operations, the Azerbaijani armed forces twice deliberately attacked the Church from an unmanned aerial vehicle. The attack caused serious damage to the Church. During the second strike, journalists who were in the Church to document the consequences of the first strike were injured".
The letter underlines that systematic denial of the existence of the Armenian historical and cultural heritage and its destruction have long been the norm in Azerbaijan and are part of the state policy of inculcating hatred and xenophobia towards Armenians. In connection with the threat of destruction of cultural monuments of Armenian heritage located in the Republic of Artsakh and under the control of Azerbaijan, Minister Mayilian stressed the necessity of taking effective measures on behalf of UNESCO to ensure the protection of Armenian historical, cultural and religious monuments and to guarantee that Azerbaijan fulfills its obligations to preserve the cultural heritage of other peoples."

Will M. Night Shyamalan Cement His Comeback With 'Glass'?
By Brandon Katz • 07/24/18 9:53am
Samuel L. Jackson, James McAvoy and Bruce Willis star in the highly-anticipated 'Glass' from director M. Night Shyamalan. Jessica Kourkounis - © Universal Pictures
Someone should make a movie about the wild peaks and valleys of M. Night Shyamalan's movie career.
The filmmaker exploded into Hollywood with 1999's stellar The Sixth Sense, drawing rave reviews and immediate comparisons to Steven Spielberg. His early filmography showed plenty of promise and a capable propensity for suspense and twists, the types of adult thrillers that have sadly fallen out of favor in recent years. But anyone who follows the industry already knows that Shyamalan quickly fell off the map with a string of laughable misfires.
From 2006 to 2013, Shyamalan couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat: Lady in the Water (25 percent on Rotten Tomatoes) The Happening (18 percent) The Last Airbender (six percent) and After Earth (11 percent) were all expensive flops that drew universal criticism.
Just like that, Hollywood's new-age golden boy had become a punchline and, more critically, box office poison. You would have been forgiven had you believed that his career was more or less over at the time.
But then something funny happened—Shyamalan returned to the smaller-scale films that earned him some shine in the first place and began to make good and profitable movies again.
The Visit, a 2015 horror thriller about two siblings who become increasingly frightened by their grandparents' disturbing behavior while visiting them on vacation, was made for just $5 million yet earned just a hair under $100 million worldwide. It also scored well with audiences and managed to earn a solid 65 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. But it was last year's Split that really brought Shyamalan back into the mainstream; it was one of the most profitable films of the year with nearly $279 million off a tiny $9 million budget. It scored a 76 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and, more importantly, revealed itself to be a backdoor sequel to Shyamalan's 2000 sleeper Unbreakable.
Unbreakable didn't break out as hoped at the time with less than $250 million worldwide off a $75 million budget and mixed reviews. But the film was far before its time as a hyper-realistic, slow-moving and grounded superhero tale about a man coming to grips with his amazing abilities. Remember, this came just a few months after X-Men and two years before Spider-Man, when the superhero genre was still in its embryonic stages. Shyamalan was warned by studio executives not to market the movie as a comic book film, but given the superhero landscape today, Unbreakable has only gotten better in hindsight.
Over the years, it has morphed into something of a cult classic with ardent supporters and without its serious take on what was previously considered light material, we may have never gotten Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins.
Now with Glass, which will unite the casts of both movies and throw Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, James McAvoy and Anya Taylor-Joy together for a trilogy-capper, Shyamalan has the opportunity to cement his comeback in Hollywood.
Universal debuted the first trailer for the two-decades-in-the-making sequel at San Diego Comic Con this past weekend, resulting in the kind of hyped attention Shyamalan hasn't experienced since his first few years in the mainstream. Although the trailer's tone hews closer to the eerie horror elements of Split rather than the naturalistic vibe of Unbreakable—I was hoping for the reverse—Glass looks like it could potentially be great.
Shyamalan still looks to be playing in a realistic sandbox; Sarah Paulson's Dr. Ellie Staple is a psychiatrist who works with people who believe they are comic book characters. According to her, it's a growing field that includes her three current patients: Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson), Kevin Wendell Crumb (James McAvoy) and David Dunn (Bruce Willis). (Shot in the dark: Paulson's character could be a secret super struggling with her own abilities. Nothing in the trailer suggests that, but it's just a vibe I'm getting.)
From what we can tell from the teaser, Dunn has mostly stuck to the shadows and refrained from announcing himself to the world à la Superman. But clearly he's become a known quantity in some capacity as he's locked up with Crumb and Price.
How would the world realistically react to these individuals? Would authorities fear them? Would citizens support them? Would they ever be believed?
These are the questions Glass seems to be hinting at, especially with Price's stated desire to reveal themselves and their abilities to the world. This is what is so interesting about the entire genre—mankind's appointment with the incomprehensible. There are social, economic, political and religious undertones with being confronted by a higher power.
Shyamalan made a superhero movie that Hollywood wasn't ready for the first time around; in his follow-up, he made a secret super villain tale that we didn't recognize until the end. Now, he's going back for a third feature that looks to play with traditional conventions of comic book pictures—the movie is notably titled after Jackson's character—and connects these seemingly disparate threads together. The prospect of it all should be exciting for movie fans, especially those who embraced Unbreakable 18 years ago. It's a trilogy we never thought we would get delivered in the most surprising of ways.
Shyamalan may never live up to those lofty Spielberg comparisons, but if Glass delivers, he will have cemented his improbable Hollywood comeback.

Hunter and hunted – hunting and survival strategies in the animal kingdom
To aid in their daily struggle for survival, both the hunter and the hunted are perfectly equipped and have developed specific behavioural strategies to survive. Predators and prey often have a little 'bag of tricks' to lead others astray and to gain the upper hand. Together we cast our eye over the animals to determine which methods and strategies they use.
Guided sessions for classes 9–10
Adapting to habitats
Adapting to the Arctic Circle as a habitat compared to the desert
Mammals are able to adapt their physical structure and behaviour in many ways to endure extreme habitats such as the desert of the arctic regions. We look at the conditions of the very diverse habitats and clarify issues such as, among others: Which animals live there? Which physical characteristics do animals have that exhibit signs of adaptation? We also discuss ecological principles related to this.
Subject area 1
Exploiting natural phenomena
Exploring and documenting the adaptedness of an animal to its habitat
Sun – weather – seasons
Adaptedness of an animal to its habitat: Animals of a climate zone
Sensory capabilities and sensory perceptions
Communication in the animal kingdom
Animals can't speak, but they can still communicate. This guided session explains what communication is, which forms it takes and which species prefer which channels. Here we consider the advantages and disadvantages of individual communication channels and also pay attention to the content. We also illustrate the significance of the highly sophisticated sensory organs in part and their biological benefits.
Sensory perceptions
Reproductive strategies
Reproduction is the primary objective in the animal kingdom next to survival. They thereby employ various strategies, which depend on the respective social systems, among others. Together we explore the methods and tricks of the animals, which ensure the reproductive success of both the males and females.
Behaviour of the animals, r and k strategies and reproductive success
We begin with an introduction in the Zoo School, where the most important terms of evolution are explained illustratively. The pupils are then able to comprehend the most important theoretical concepts concerning animals using specific examples. We cover homology/analogy, co-evolution, convergence, selection, species identity, speciation as well as evolutionary theories.
Evolutionary theories and indications
The social life of baboons
School pupils independently apply scientific methods as they observe the inhabitants of Zoo Berlin's Baboon Rock. In addition to the basics of behavioural science, the children learn about typical baboon behaviour and study the complex social lives of these animals. All results are jointly evaluated at the end.
Life among primates
Schoolchildren gain an interactive overview of primate taxonomy as they learn about the various species within this order and how they are related. The tour focuses on how primates have adapted their natural environments, on the social structures and behaviour of these animals, and on relevant scientific research. Great apes play a central role in this tour.
Climate change and its impact on the animal world
In times gone by, animals had time to adapt to their natural environment – today most of them are struggling to survive in the face of a rapidly changing climate. We look specifically at selected species, we highlight both the impact of climate change as well as the strategies that the animals employ, in order to endure the changes in their living environment. Together we work out the causes of climate change and reflect upon what each and everyone of us can do to work against it.
Learning objective:
Causes and impacts of climate change
Biodiversity, species extinction and species conservation
Our planet is blessed with enormous biodiversity and special habitats. What impact do humans have on this diversity and why is the extinction of species so rapid in modern times? We explain those breeding programmes of the zoo, which are intended to play a role in combating animal extinction. In situ species conservation programmes are also introduced in the process, and we discuss these together with the pupils.
Occupational orientation
Animal management and animal care in zoological gardens
A zoo is far more than just a park with animals. Together we talk about the various tasks of modern zoos, taking on a deeper and more practical insight into the animal care of zoological gardens by answering questions such as: What is species-appropriate management? Which habitat, food and activity demands do the animals have? How do you design enclosures that are as close to nature as possible?

El cangrejo de agua dulce europeo (Potamon fluviatile) es una especie de crustáceo decápodo de la familia Potamidae. Es un cangrejo de agua dulce, endémico de las costas del Mar Mediterráneo.

Descripción

El cuerpo, de color marrón grisáceo con vetas amarillentas, está dividido en tres segmentos: cabeza, tórax y abdomen. Los dos primeros, que forman el cefalotórax, están cubiertos por un caparazón quitinoso de 35 a 45 mm de largo. La cabeza está equipada con piezas bucales para masticar que consisten en dos mandíbulas y dos pares de mandíbulas. Los ojos, sostenidos por un tallo, se pueden retraer en las cavidades orbitales. El abdomen está curvado ventralmente; en las hembras tiene un bolsillo abdominal para incubar los huevos y transportar a las crías. El primer par de extremidades tiene fuertes quelas de tonos magenta-púrpura, utilizado para la defensa y la depredación, mientras que los otros cuatro pares tienen una función locomotora. En los machos adultos existe una marcada heteroquelia, con una quela, normalmente la derecha, claramente de mayor tamaño.

Biología

Vive en madrigueras excavadas a lo largo de las orillas de los arroyos y charcos de agua dulce. A veces, incluso una docena de ejemplares conviven en áreas restringidas. Es capaz de tolerar bajos niveles de humedad: esto le permite salir del curso de agua y penetrar decenas de metros en el medio terrestre. Durante la estación fría es raro encontrar ejemplares fuera de sus madrigueras. La especie está activa desde la primavera hasta el otoño; en los meses de verano las fases de actividad se concentran en las horas posteriores a la puesta del sol. Es depredado principalmente por gatos, ratas, zorros, comadrejas, aves y, en el pasado, también el hombre, que se alimentaba de su carne apreciada.

Reproducción

En el período reproductivo los machos se involucran en peleas rituales para sancionar el derecho a aparearse; sin embargo, cada hembra también puede aparearse con múltiples parejas. El apareamiento y la posterior puesta de huevos tienen lugar entre junio y septiembre . El macho libera una bolsa de esperma a la hembra, que se mantiene dentro de un receptáculo seminal especial por un período que va desde unas pocas semanas hasta un año. La fertilización de huevos, producido por la hembra dentro de una bolsa abdominal, ocurre más tarde. El desarrollo de los huevos, unos 200 por cada puesta, es directo; la eclosión tiene lugar después de unos cuarenta días. Las crías son transportadas y cuidadas por su madre durante las dos primeras semanas, durante las cuales pasan por dos mudas sucesivas; una vez liberadas, se refugian bajo piedras o entre la vegetación.

Alimentación

Es un cangrejo omnívoro, se alimenta de insectos y sus larvas, lombrices de tierra, pequeños peces y alevines, así como de material vegetal como algas y musgos.

Distribución y hábitat
Estuvo presente en la mayoría de los países de la cuenca mediterránea, desde el norte de África hasta la península de los Balcanes. Actualmente está confirmada su presencia en Grecia, Albania, Croacia y Malta. En Italia está presente desde Sicilia hasta los Alpes septentrionales, así como en Cerdeña, en el este de Liguria, en los Abruzos y en las Marcas. Una población de Potamon fluviatile está presente en el centro histórico de Roma, dentro del área del Foro de Trajano. Esta especie es objeto de estudios de mapeo genético por parte de la comunidad científica. Se trata de una comunidad aislada, que manifiesta características de gigantismo y parece haberse asentado durante mucho tiempo en el sistema de alcantarillado del conjunto monumental.

Vive en ambientes de agua dulce: arroyos, zanjas, canales de movimiento lento, ambientes lacustres y campos de arroz.

Estado de conservación

Amenazas
En los últimos años, las poblaciones de este cangrejo de agua dulce han sufrido una importante reducción en toda su área de distribución y la especie ha desaparecido por completo de algunos cursos de agua en los que históricamente estaba presente. Esto se debe en gran parte a la contaminación marina donde se encuentran sus hogares y la sobrepesca excesiva e indiscriminada para el consumo humano. El cambio climático también está contribuyendo a la reducción de los hábitats de la especie. Desde 2020 parece que estos cangrejos han vuelto a repoblar algunos cursos de agua en el norte de la Toscana. Todo esto ha contribuido que la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza catalogue a este crustáceo como especie casi amenazada.

New Hitech C Z80 compiler for Windows/Linux?
Is there any way to obtain the Hitech-C v7.8PL2 nowadays? They had an archive for download of older versions but no z80/z180 versions are available. I asked one Rep. to see if this is available, but it may take a while to get an answer.
Where can I send it to you?
Maybe nice if someone wrote an MSX-DOS emulator for Windows / Mac / Linux… Essentially an unthrottled Z80 emulator with hooks at the BDOS entry points to translate the calls to host OS operations (file access, console I/O). Then software like ASCII-C could be easily and quickly executed from cross-compiling build scripts. Should be a relatively easy project I'd say.
Thanks for the reply ARTRAG. You should be able to contact me directly in my contact page. Otherwise email me at edevaldo at gmail.


On behalf of Law Office of Ruth Nelson posted in Credit Card Debt on Thursday, July 27, 2017.
Write out a budget. Your budget will ensure that you're living inside your means. If you don't write a budget your debt situation will go from bad to worse because you'll be spending more money than you're making.
Decide how you're going to celebrate reaching your goal. You won't want to be an austere penny pincher unless there's an end reward. Keep your eyes on that prize and you'll have all the motivation you require.
Following the above three rules will dramatically increase your chances of credit card payoff success. However, not everyone is generating enough income to pay off their debts in a feasible amount of time.
If your debt far exceeds your income, you might be an excellent candidate for bankruptcy. When you successfully complete your bankruptcy process -- whether it's Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you will have resolved your credit card debt and other types of qualifying debt once and for all.
Can bankruptcy help me to pay missed child support?
The Law Office of Ruth Nelson provides Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy representation to clients in Seattle, Washington, and communities throughout King County, Snohomish County, Island County and the Greater Seattle Area, including the cities of Everett, Renton, Kent, Auburn, Lynnwood, Edmonds, Ballard, Mukilteo, Mill Creek, Snohomish, Marysville, Arlington, Monroe, Bothell, Redmond, Kirkland, Burien, Tukwila, Federal Way, Oak Harbor and Bellevue.

The United States Department of Justice's Fraud Section recently released a guidance document entitled Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs ("Evaluation Guidance"), which sets forth a list of common questions that the Fraud Section may ask in evaluating corporate compliance programs in the context of a criminal investigation. The Evaluation Guidance does not provide benchmarks, specific factors or requirements for corporate compliance programs to meet. Rather, it sets forth 119 "common questions that the Fraud Section may ask in making an individualized determination" regarding corporate compliance programs.
Release of the Evaluation Guidance fulfills a promise made a year earlier by Andrew Weissmann, Chief of the Fraud Section, to make public a list of questions the Fraud Section may ask a company when assessing the quality of its compliance program. It is the latest in a line of DOJ guidance documents, speeches and actions that emphasize the importance of corporate compliance programs. A Resource Guide to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("Resource Guide"), released jointly by DOJ and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in 2012, for example, described the importance of a "risk-based" compliance program that focuses appropriate resources on areas where misconduct is most likely to occur. More recently, in November 2015, DOJ hired Hui Chen, a former prosecutor with extensive in-house compliance experience, as a full-time compliance expert. And in April 2016, DOJ launched a pilot program primarily designed to motivate companies to voluntarily self-disclose FCPA-related misconduct. In the memorandum announcing the pilot program, the Fraud Section identified eight factors that will guide its evaluation of the effectiveness of corporate compliance programs: (1) whether a company has established a culture of compliance; (2) whether a company dedicates sufficient resources to the compliance function; (3) the quality and experience of the compliance personnel; (4) the independence of the compliance function; (5) whether a company's compliance program is tailored to an effective risk assessment; (6) compliance personnel's compensation and standing relative to other employees; (7) regular audits of the compliance program to assure its effectiveness; and (8) the reporting structure of compliance personnel within the company. In addition to the above guidance, the Fraud Section regularly seeks to provide guidance regarding its evaluation of compliance programs in the context of announcing prosecution decisions.
Analysis and Remediation of Underlying Misconduct: What is the company's root cause analysis of the misconduct at issue? What specific changes has the company made to reduce the risk that the same or similar issues will not occur in the future?
Senior and Middle Management: How have senior leaders, through their words and actions, encouraged or discouraged the type of misconduct in question? What specific actions have senior leaders and other stakeholders (e.g., business and operational managers, Finance, Procurement, Legal, Human Resources) taken to demonstrate their commitment to compliance, including their remediation efforts? What compliance expertise has been available on the board of directors?
Autonomy and Resources: Have the compliance and relevant control functions had direct reporting lines to anyone on the board of directors? How have decisions been made about the allocation of personnel and resources for the compliance and relevant control functions in light of the company's risk profile? How has the compliance function compared with other strategic functions in the company in terms of stature, compensation levels, rank/title, reporting line, resources and access to key decision-makers?
Policies and Procedures: Has the company had policies and procedures that prohibited the misconduct? How has the company communicated the policies and procedures relevant to the misconduct to relevant employees and third parties? Who has been responsible for integrating policies and procedures? How have they been rolled out (e.g., do compliance personnel assess whether employees understand the policies)?
Risk Assessment: What methodology has the company used to identify, analyze and address the particular risks it faced?
Training and Communication: What training have employees in relevant control functions received? Has the company provided tailored training for high-risk and control employees that addressed the risks in the area where the misconduct occurred?
Confidential Reporting and Investigation: How has the company collected, analyzed and used information from its reporting mechanisms? How has the company ensured that the investigations have been properly scoped, and were independent, objective, appropriately conducted and properly documented?
Incentives and Disciplinary Measures: What disciplinary actions did the company take in response to the misconduct and when did they occur? Were managers held accountable for misconduct that occurred under their supervision? How has the company incentivized compliance and ethical behavior?
Continuous Improvement, Periodic Testing and Review: Has the company reviewed and audited its compliance program in the area relating to the misconduct, including testing of relevant controls, collection and analysis of compliance data, and interviews of employees and third-parties? How often has the company updated its risk assessments and reviewed its compliance policies, procedures and practices?
Third-Party Management: How has the company's third-party management process corresponded to the nature and level of the enterprise risk identified by the company? How has this process been integrated into the relevant procurement and vendor management processes? How has the company incentivized compliance and ethical behavior by third parties?
Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A): How has the compliance function been integrated into the merger, acquisition and integration process? What has been the company's process for tracking and remediating misconduct or misconduct risks identified during the due diligence process?
Integration. To be effective, a compliance program must be fully integrated into the operations of the company. The compliance function should not be siloed. Compliance policies and procedures should be effectively incorporated into a company's financial systems and approval processes.
Authority and Resources. The compliance function requires independence and adequate resources to be effective. The level of resources dedicated to compliance should be calibrated to the particular size, complexity and risks of the business.
Accountability. Alleged misconduct should be investigated appropriately and when allegations are substantiated those responsible, including managers, should be held accountable. In addition, incentives should be created for positive behavior. Notably, this focus on individual accountability is consistent with DOJ's recent emphasis on investigating and prosecuting underlying individual wrongdoing in all corporate investigations as set forth in the Yates Memorandum.
Dynamism. The Evaluation Guidance emphasizes continuous monitoring and enhancement. Risk assessments, testing and auditing should be performed regularly and adjustments to the compliance program should be made as a business grows or changes, for example through mergers and acquisitions, and as external risk factors develop and evolve.
The Evaluation Guidance is a helpful resource to prepare companies under investigation for the inevitable questions they may be asked. But the list of topics and questions is also an equally useful tool for management and corporate boards of all companies to use proactively to evaluate the effectiveness of their compliance programs and identify opportunities for improvement.

Has trade liberalisation helped or harmed Australia?
by Craig Milne
News Weekly, June 22, 2013
The trade liberalisation policies adopted since the 1970s have opened the Australian market to imports from low-income nations, the main benefit of which has been to raise the effective income of most Australians by giving them access, formerly penalised by tariffs and quotas, to less expensive Asian manufactures.
For economic liberals, a further benefit has been the removal of a large part of economic decision-making from the deliberations of the governing class. In the former period of trade regulation, politicians and public servants involved themselves in economic decisions to the advantage of some groups and detriment of others.
Advocates of trade liberalisation saw in this involvement a corruption of the political system as influential groups sought to promote their own interests at public expense. The removal of government from industry composition and market structure decisions was seen as means of enabling better allocation of economic resources — that is, away from activities for which Australia was unsuited and towards those in which it had some advantage.
One of the arguments for tariff removal was that, as the world economy was irreversibly moving in a trade-liberalising direction, the unilateral removal of tariffs by Australia would not only increase income and improve resource allocation, it would advantage domestic economic actors who would, by starting early, be better prepared and positioned to cope with the emerging realities to which everybody else would eventually have to adjust.
Another, altruistic, benefit claimed for trade liberalisation was the helpful contribution that it made to lifting foreign nationals out of poverty by giving them access to some of the markets and employment opportunities that were formerly restricted to Australians.
The arguments in favour of trade liberalisation have been well canvassed and are widely accepted, even if some of the supporting claims are more convincing inside the academy and the bureaucracy than in the rough and tumble of real life.
What needs to be said is that the benefits of reform have not been received without costs, and the list of these for Australia is quite long. These costs are seldom acknowledged and they are worth expanding upon.
First, unemployment is now much higher than it was in the trade-regulated era. Between 1950 and 1970, the Australian unemployment rate seldom exceeded 1 per cent of the work-seeking population. That rate has climbed to about 5.5 per cent, and is arguably much more than that because the way unemployment is now measured is less trustworthy than it used to be.
The reason that unemployment has increased is that trade liberalisation caused the closure of thousands of uncompetitive Australian manufacturing firms with the loss of their jobs and the skills attached to them. The employment cost of transferring manufacturing from Australia to Asia has been between one and a half and two million jobs.
Second, the replacement of Australian-manufactured goods with imports has been the main contributor to the deterioration of the nation's external account. An almost immediate effect of trade liberalisation was that Australia moved into a position of chronic and steadily deteriorating deficit in its goods and services transactions with the rest of the world.
The last time that Australia achieved an external current account surplus was in 1975, and since that time continuing shortfalls in foreign earnings have been balanced by borrowings, new foreign investment and the sale of Australian-owned assets. The result has been an inexorable rise in net foreign debt and a steady erosion of national sovereignty.
Third, as manufacturing contracted, the share of the economy commanded by government has grown in response. Welfare outlays have increased to support permanently displaced manufacturing workers. Education spending has risen to prepare the future workforce for hoped-for opportunities in the post-industrial economy and (mainly) to warehouse the young unemployed who would formerly have found factory work.
Delaying the entry of the young into paid work, the premature retirement of older workers and the growth of part-time and casual employment have been the means by which a reduced quantum of job opportunities has been rationed. As a consequence, the working lives of affected Australians have been shortened, thus contributing to an increase in their assistance claims on government.
More than that, government has been impelled, by electoral pressure and its own expansionist inclinations, to deal with an increase in unemployment by creating jobs in and for itself. As a result, government is larger, and therefore more intrusive, than it was in the era of trade regulation, a fact rightly lamented by proponents of small government who nevertheless fail to draw a connection between the implementation of the liberal policies they advocated and the unintended consequence of now having a public sector heading towards double the size that it was in the former period.
Fourth, the loss of large numbers of manufacturing firms, and even entire industries, that has resulted from trade liberalisation has substantially diminished Australia's technological status and capability. In world comparative terms, Australia is less technically advanced than it was in the middle of the 20th century.
Complex industrial products, processes and projects once routinely attempted, and mastered, at an internationally competitive level, are now beyond the nation's capacity. The dissipation of the knowledge, skills and technical capabilities that were embedded in Australian manufacturing has damaged the prospects for the nation's future development, security and relative place in the world.
Manufacturing, as practised in the leading industrial nations, demands high levels of applied expertise for the material realisation of inventions and innovations, the design and engineering of products and processing systems, the management of complex supply and production operations, and the steady improvement of quality and productivity. It is the mastery of the art and science that underpin all of this expertise that is, more than anything else, the measure and defining characteristic of a technical civilisation, the engine of its forward movement and the foundation of its future.
To step back, as Australia has done by chosen policy, from the progressive endeavour of striving for a participation in the form of economic activity that defines membership in the elite group of advanced nations, has been an act of national short-sightedness, an egregious error and a failure by that part of the governing class that has been the author of it, to perform its allotted task and duty.
Craig Milne is executive director of the Australian Productivity Council, a private-sector consultancy industry assistance organisation originally founded in 1969 as the Commonwealth-funded peak body dedicated to productivity promotion and improvement.
Second thoughts about globalisation
History of globalisation
We tend to forget that the first stirrings of globalisation during the Age of Navigation ruined Latin America, Asia, India, and China. That was the premise of my first "Spengler" essay at Asia Times Online on January 27, 2000:
"Item: After the conquest of the New World, Spain's entire capture of precious metals went to India and China to pay for luxury cloth and spices. That did for approximately 90 per cent of the indigenous pre-Colombian population.
"Item: The African slave trade instituted by the Portuguese and later the British first produced sugar in Brazil and the Caribbean, to be turned into cheap intoxicants for the European market. Tobacco was a second absorber of slave labour. Cotton became important much later. Production of these vices did for a third of the West African population.
"Item: In order to sell cheap cotton cloth to India, the East India Company arranged for Indians to grow opium and for Chinese to buy it. All the silver mined in Latin America, which two centuries earlier had passed to China to pay for silks, found its way back to Europe to pay for opium. That did for untold millions of Indians and Chinese."
The loss of life was frightful. The Taiping Rebellion of 1850 to 1864 in the wake of the Qing Dynasty's humiliation by the British claimed 20 million lives, most of them civilians. Millions starved in Bengal when manufactured cotton replaced the local handwoven cloth.

Abolish company tax, impose 10 per cent revenue tariff on imports
Since the U.S. corporate income tax now produces less than 10 per cent of federal revenue and less than 2 per cent of gross domestic product, abolish it. Get rid of it.
Think of it. A continent-wide nation that doesn't tax business.
Assume this would cost the Treasury $250 billion in lost revenue. How to make it up? Put a 10 per cent tariff on imports entering the U.S., which last year added up to $2.7 trillion. This tax reform would thus be revenue neutral.
And what would a corporate income tax rate of zero, with a 10 per cent tariff on goods entering the U.S.A. from abroad, accomplish? First, every U.S. corporation that had moved abroad in search of lower taxes in recent years would start thinking about coming home and bringing its production and its jobs back to America.
Second, that $2 trillion in income U.S. companies have stashed abroad would come roaring back into U.S. institutions.
Third, foreign companies would begin to relocate and produce here in America, both to get around the tariff and pay no taxes….
From 1865 to 1914, America had 10 Republican presidents. All believed in financing government by taxing imports, not the incomes of U.S. citizens or the U.S. companies that employed them.

Hello everyone, this is my first post and I need some help. I have a friend who is a member at a Mehtodist church and we have had many discussions on the differences between the two churches. I decided to go to a Methodist service and see what the differences were and realized a few, but the basic message is the same. We have had many conversations and keep coming back to some . The differences are enormous. Each church is pretty much tired of being conflated with the other. The churches are not related and do not share much history (other than being Protestant). The Churches of Christ, or Church of Christ (CoC) are part.

The doctrine of double predestination is the hallmark of John Calvin and Reformed theology.

In the Roman Catholic Church, there are seven solemn rites, called sacraments: baptism, confirmation, the Eucharist, matrimony, penance, holy orders and extreme unction. That said, lets begin with the similarities between Lutheran and Reformed: 1.
Emphasis on the "solas". Both Reformed and Lutheran affirm that Scripture is the Christian's authority alone, that a person is justified by grace alone, through faith alone, because of Christ alone, and all to the Glory of God alone.
Both believe in the baptism of infants. In what sense can it be said that the Church has remained one from generation to generation. This question is of immediate relevance for relations between the Reformed and Roman Catholic churches because the events leading to the Reformation and resulting in division seem to imply a discontinuity in the life of the one Church.
