Public Opinion and Public Policy: Complexities of the Democratic Mandate
This policy primer examines the relationship between public opinion and migration policy, with a particular focus on the idea of a democratic mandate for reducing the number of immigrants to the UK.
Does public opinion provide a democratic mandate for government to reduce net migration to Britain?
Immigration in policy differs from immigration in polls and surveys
Mismatches between public opinion and policy targets and policy tools
Policy-making faces constraints that public opinion does not
Attitudes may stand alone, but policy-makers must consider trade-offs
A key issue in migration policy is its relationship with public opinion. In particular, does widespread public opposition to immigration create a democratic mandate for government to reduce immigration or net migration to the UK? Critics have charged a democratic deficit in policy-making on migration, as migration to Britain increased substantially in the late 1990s and into the 2000s, despite consistent public preferences for decreased levels.
Polls consistently show that immigration is not only broadly unpopular in Britain, but also one of the most important issues for members of the public. In the government's 2009-2010 Citizenship Survey, 77% of respondents who had an opinion favoured reducing immigration, including 53% who preferred reducing it "a lot", a result firmly in line with previous polling over many years (see the briefing on 'UK Public Opinion toward Immigration: Determinants of Attitudes'). Immigration also consistently ranks among the most commonly-cited responses to poll questions asking the most important Issues facing Britain (see the briefing on 'UK Public Opinion toward Immigration: Overall Attitudes and Level of Concern'). In March 2013, for example, 29% of a representative sample of British adults listed immigration (or "race relations") among their top three most important issues, trailing only the economy as the most frequent issue of concern, and just ahead of unemployment and the NHS (Economist/Ipsos MORI 2013).
Does public opinion therefore confer a democratic mandate to decrease the number of migrants coming to the UK? One might question whether public opinion—especially in the form of poll results rather the election results—confers democratic mandates for policy-makers on any issue. Certainly the policy process in British government is often concerned with inputs other than opinion polls. For instance, consultations commonly take into account the views of stakeholders and evidence compiled by experts, rather than polling results. At a more theoretical level, some philosophical accounts of political representation see elected officials as charged with using their own judgement and doing what is best to fulfil general goals and values, rather than simply following public opinion on issue after issue. On the other hand, issues with high levels of public concern may well affect election outcomes, and in a democracy politicians have strong motivations to address salient issues in a way that satisfies prospective voters. And, again at the theoretical level, accountability to the voters—if not necessarily to opinion poll results—is at the heart of modern representative democracy.
The present coalition government has seemed to take public opinion on immigration very seriously. It has set a goal of reducing annual net migration to "the tens of thousands rather than the hundreds of thousands", and its assessments of its policy changes have consistently referred to public opinion or public confidence as a key motivation for taking steps in this direction. In practice, however, there are multiple obstacles standing between public opinion and policies affecting net migration, making the notion of a democratic mandate more complicated than it might appear. Specifically, 1) "immigration" does not mean the same thing to members of the public as it means in government policy; 2) government faces legal and other constraints that public opinion does not; and 3) policy-makers must take into account trade-offs with other goods while respondents to public opinion surveys rarely if ever are pushed to weigh these sorts of trade-offs.
Public opinion polls usually solicit attitudes toward "immigration" as a whole. In the typical survey, members of the public have little or no opportunity to express different attitudes toward different categories of migrants, nor to take constraints on policy-makers into account. But policy cannot and does not address immigration as a single undifferentiated phenomenon. Rather, it addresses particular categories or groups of migrants. As the experience of policy-making under the coalition government has shown, there is no single policy toward "immigration", but various policies directed toward various categories of "inflows".
For policy purposes, immigration can be divided into categories including students, workers, family members (of migrants or of British citizens), asylum seekers, and EU nationals (who may fit into several of these categories but can be considered a distinct category for these purposes, since policy decisions will reflect Britain's inclusion in the EU (and EEA, or European Economic Area). Policies designed to reduce migration have taken different forms for each of these categories of migrants. For instance, the "cap" on immigration, perhaps the most widely discussed policy tool for reducing net migration, applies only to skilled and highly-skilled non-European labour migrants (Tiers 1 and 2 of the Points-Based System), a group that made up about 10% of non-EU immigration in 2009 (MAC 2010: p. 130; calculation excludes dependents). Family migration may be reduced by heightened English language requirements for spouses of British citizens and residents who wish to migrate to the UK, and minimum income requirements for citizens and residents wishing to sponsor their spouses' migration to Britain. Policies proposed to limit student migration focus on reducing fraud and abuse, and also limit legal means for international students to extend their stays in Britain and to work at paid jobs while in Britain. Asylum seekers were addressed by numerous policy changes in the 2000s (see below). Meanwhile, because the EU/EEA establishes a zone of free movement across national boundaries, Britain can take few steps to immigration among EEA nationals.
For most of the history of public opinion surveys, however, "immigrants" and "immigration" have not been divided into these subcategories. Most of the evidence we have about attitudes toward immigration comes from questions about "immigrants" or "immigration" as a whole. Furthermore, most surveys do not define what "immigration" means, leaving it to each individual survey interviewee to respond on the basis of whatever conception of immigration he or she has in mind.
But defining who counts as a migrant is a complex task, contested among specialists, and it should not be surprising that members of the public often do not define it in the same way as the government does (see the briefing on 'Who Counts as a Migrant: Definitions and their Consequences'). The Office of National Statistics (ONS) defines a long-term international migrant as anyone moving to another country for at least a year. In common language, on the other hand, an "immigrant" is more often thought of as someone permanently moving to another country to settle there. (The Oxford English Dictionary, for instance, defines an immigrant as "a person who migrates into a country as a settler".) Government efforts to reduce net migration may well include immigrants with short stays in the UK, who may not fit public perceptions of who counts as a migrant. Indeed, much of the recent increase in immigration comes from migrants staying for only a few years (see the briefing on 'Long-Term International Migration Flows to and from the UK').
Evidence gathered in a September 2011 survey for the Migration Observatory showed that the majority of the public, at that point in time, did not normally think about students, immediate family members, or temporary migrants when thinking about "immigrants" in the context of a public opinion survey. Majorities had in mind asylum seekers, labour migrants, and permanent migrants, among other categories.
So, even when policy-makers pursuing the popular goal of reduced migration, they may not be targeting "immigration" as a majority of citizens conceive it. Common conceptions of immigration overlap with but do not match the group of "long-term international migrants" picked out by official government statistics.
Furthermore, as the coalition government's experiences are demonstrating, policies to reduce net migration inevitably act on particular categories of migrants separately. Policies can pursue the broad goal of reducing immigration in general, but the relationship between public opinion and the actual details of policy depends on more precise information about a) who the public thinks of as "immigrants" and b) which types of migration are more or less popular.
For example, net migration statistics apply to legal migration (with one key exception – some legal entrants overstay their leave to remain, becoming illegally resident after being counted in official immigration statistics). But public opinion shows concern centred on illegal rather than legal immigration, as shown in responses to a Migration Observatory/Ipsos MORI survey in September 2011. A majority (54%) of respondents who preferred less respondents also said that they wanted these reductions "only" or "mostly" focused on illegal immigration. This is consistent with surveys from 2008 to 2010, in which more than two-thirds of respondents in Britain were worried about illegal immigration, but no more than 36% worried about legal immigration (German Marshall Fund 2011).
Second, public opinion data show little preference for Eastern European nationals over others, but EU membership binds policy-makers to treat migration from all EEA countries preferentially. Respondents in one poll (Ipsos MORI 2007) were asked which groups of migrants should have priority to come to the UK to work or study and which groups should not be allowed in at all for those reasons. Eastern Europeans nations were among the most popular choices to not be allowed in at all, with 14% choosing the newer European nations such as Poland and the Czech Republic, and 16% choosing the newest European nations such as Bulgaria and Romania. Directly fulfilling public concern at this level would involve withdrawing from the EU, a decision that would have enormous political and economic ramifications that would need to be considered as well. Of course, members of the public are not bound to consider such implications when responding to polls; indeed, it is certainly possible to wish for less immigration from Eastern Europe even while realising that EU member nations cannot enact such limits. But policy-makers certainly are expected to take such consequences into account even if the public does not (or cannot in the restrictive forum of the opinion poll).
Next, the Migration Observatory/Ipsos MORI 2011 survey showed that members of the public make distinctions among migrants by occupation and purpose for migrating. For example, solid majorities preferred less immigration among low-skilled workers, both in general (64%) and in particular cases such as construction workers (57%) and restaurant staff (59%). But only a minority of respondents wanted high-skilled immigration reduced, in general (31%) and in particular cases as well (30% for scientists and researchers, 40% for business and finance professionals).
International students and migrants who are immediate family members of British citizens were also relatively widely tolerated. On the other hand, majorities of respondents preferred fewer immigrants among extended family members and asylum seekers.
These results chime with a smattering of results from earlier surveys and ad hoc polls. For example, majorities in one survey supported increased immigration among doctors and nurses (72%) and elderly-care workers (51%) (German Marshall Fund 2011). Also, when asked which groups of migrants should be given "priority to enter" Britain, "people with skills that are needed for our economy" and "foreign students who want to come and study here" were among the three most commonly selected categories (Ipsos MORI 2007).
These priorities are difficult for policy-makers to follow, however. Labour migration, including skilled workers, is perhaps the easiest area for government to regulate the number of arrivals. Some occupations, such as medical professionals, have been exempted from limits because of shortages in the domestic labour market. But reducing net migration may create pressure to shorten the list of such exempt occupations. The Migration Advisory Committee recently recommended removal of eight occupations from the shortage list, including senior care workers, following government instructions to exclude jobs below "graduate level" (MAC 2011). International students, meanwhile, arrive in such large numbers that it is difficult to imagine government reaching its target without reducing student migration substantially. But students and highly-skilled or needed workers do not appear to be the top concerns for most of the public, and limiting their arrivals may create economic costs that bear consideration as possible trade-offs.
For each category of immigrants, there are also different sets of legal constraints that bind policy-makers, but may be ignored in public opinion.
Individual rights, in particular, pose a direct constraint on the implementation of public opinion in policy-making in any area, not just migration. Liberal or constitutional democracies cannot follow public opinion blindly, but rather are legally bound to respect certain individual rights and other constraints on government power. Examples from criminal law are familiar—few would consider it legal or legitimate for a democratic government to imprison a citizen without a proper criminal trial, even if such an action would be popular. Likewise, in the case of migration policy, attempts to limit migration can run up against human rights. Of course, this notion of legal constraint is problematic in some ways. Rights, at least in the legal sense, depend heavily on governments to establish, recognize, and enforce them. Thus, rights might not be seen as independent constraints on governments. Moreover, in practice governments may fail to respect rights, and when they do so it can prove impossible for individuals to enforce their claims. And in the UK, Parliamentary sovereignty may be seen to give government more freedom to act than other constitutional democracies with written constitutions that include enumerated individual rights.
Nonetheless, even within the British constitutional configuration, there are constraints on government policy and even de facto on Parliament under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), EU law, and even domestic common law. In fact, in the case of migration policy, several Labour government initiatives have been overturned, or declared incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights, in domestic courts.
Legal wrangles concerning asylum decision-making and the treatment of asylum seekers most clearly illustrate constraints on migration policy. As a party to the 1951 Convention on Refugees, Britain is not permitted to return to their home countries any asylum applicants with "a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion…" But almost half of the public in effect endorsed this course of action in a 2001 poll, with 44% agreeing that "Britain should not accept any more asylum seekers" (Ipsos MORI 2001). Even if that position had gained overwhelming majority support in subsequent polling, the government could not have followed it without violating commitments.
While British governments eschewed this path, other policies on asylum have led to legal challenges and objections from international institutions. For instance, the Nationality, Immigration, and Asylum Act of 2002 broadened the circumstances in which asylum applicants could be excluded from protection. The UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) objected formally to this move. For another, the Labour government changed policy to withdraw housing support from asylum seekers who did not file their applications within three days of arrival in the UK (Somerville 2007). This policy was overturned in British courts as a human rights violation.
Family migration policy faces important legal constraints as well. Restrictions may come into conflict with international agreements and EU law, including the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). On the other hand, European case law has allowed governments significant scope for limiting family migration (Kraler 2010), so the constraints may be flexible in practice. New restrictions on family migration notably require a minimum income for British citizens who wish to sponsor the immigration of a spouse with non-EEA citizenship. Thus, they affect British citizens' as well as prospective migrants' scope for marrying and form a family with the person of their choosing. This provision has already attracted legal challenges.
The previous Labour government also faced legal constraints on its efforts to reduce family-based immigration occurring through marriages of convenience or "sham marriages." A 2006 High Court decision ruled against a policy requiring special applications for marriage for non-EU nationals, at a cost of £135 per application (Casciani 2006). The High Court saw this as interfering with Article 12 (ECHR) rights to marriage and also as discriminatory on the basis of nationality and religion under ECHR Article 14 (Department for Constitutional Affairs 2006).
Aside from clear constraints, policy-making involves trade-offs, striking balances among competing goods. In contrast, public opinion almost always treats issues in isolation. Polls ask for people's opinions about immigration without explicit consideration of the impact that migration policy might have on other areas. Yet such trade-offs have come to the fore as the coalition government has sought to develop policies to reduce net migration. The "cap" on non-European labour migration was implemented with a significant exemption for intracompany transfers (ICTs). Business interests argued that capping ICTs would create significant economic costs. ICTs accounted for 29,255 entry visas to non-EU nationals in 2012 (out of a total of 45,444 entry visas granted to main applicants in the skilled labour components (Tiers 1 and 2) of the Points-Based System). Similarly, in debates about reducing immigration of international students, the higher education sector has argued that international students constitute a valuable export industry, and make important intellectual contributions as well. Declines in student visas in 2012 were almost exclusively among foreign language schools and further education colleges, with universities insulated from changes. In the cases of university students as well as ICTs, policy-makers needed to weigh the potential economic and other costs against the potential benefits of satisfying public demands for less immigration.
Members of the public, meanwhile, need not make such calculations when expressing their opinions to pollsters. Public opinion on these trade-offs is unknown. Questions about policy trade-offs are rarely polled. Further, there may be good reason for this: polling on detailed policy questions is likely to provide less reliable results than more general questions that tap into basic values and attitudes. For most democratic citizens, becoming well-versed in policy matters is neither their job nor a deep and abiding interest. When polls ask people questions for which they have not formed firm opinions, research suggests that responses are often not very reliable: they are unstable, shaped by whatever happens to be "at the top of the head" at the time, and vulnerable to manipulation by changes in question wording (Zaller 1992). On the other hand, there is some evidence that public opinion can respond intelligibly to trade-offs, at least in the context of government budgets (Hansen 1998).
The issue of trade-offs looms large in immigration policy-making, as shown in the efforts to limit immigration among workers and students. One additional "trade-off" might be better posed as an enduring constraint: EU membership. In agreeing to join the EU, Britain in effect made a decision to accept higher levels of migration from European countries in order to secure the benefits of free economic activity with the EEA (as well as free movement for British nationals to EU countries). Free movement within the EU by EU nationals (including British citizens) accounted for +68,000 in net migration statistics in 2010, a significant amount of movement that is not subject to direct immigration control.
What does this mean for policy-makers? They face a widespread preference for reduced migration, but, given policy trade-offs and legal constraints, the available policy options often seem mismatched with the main targets of public concern.
In the current government's approach, policy-makers specify and try to meet a numerical target by combining different policies that reduce various streams of migration. As others have noted, there is a risk that the goal will prove impossible to meet, because net migration depends on many events beyond government control (including EU immigration, British emigration, international events that may lead to large numbers of asylum seekers arriving from new places). Moreover, reaching this target might impose some costs that would prove unpopular as well, as shown above in the discussion of policy trade-offs.
Importantly, it is not clear that any particular number of migrants would placate public concern. Even in the 1960s, when there were many fewer immigrants, similar majorities of British people still felt there were too many. Even now there is reason to doubt the existence of a specific number that would satisfy concerns. In a 2006 poll, respondents who favoured a "strict limit" on the number of migrants coming to the UK were given a follow-up question asking what that numerical limit should be. More than 60% said they did not know what the limit should be (Bremner 2011). Public preferences for fewer immigrants seems to reflect a general attitude toward immigration (however each poll respondent defines it), rather than a belief that immigration is fine as long as it is kept below some easily-specified numerical limit.
On the other hand, increases in immigration numbers correspond with an increase in the salience of immigration as an issue. Reducing numbers might plausibly lead to less urgent public concern (Page 2009), even if majorities would prefer still further reductions. Also, fulfilling a clear numerical goal might have the added benefit of restoring some public confidence in immigration policy. Some have argued that a primary public demand on immigration policy is for competent management (Saggar 2010), and reaching a clearly stated numerical goal might well be perceived as a demonstration of competence.
Finally, for policy-makers to respond to public opinion, they need finer-grained opinion data. Given the complexities of immigration inflows and the constraints and trade-offs policy-makers face, a simple public preference for less immigration does not provide clear policy guidance for the actual decisions policy-makers face, particularly if coupled with a majority preference for maintaining immigration flows among students and high-skilled workers. More detailed opinion data will not resolve all policy dilemmas, but it may help government address public concern more precisely. Migration Observatory survey work provided a useful snapshot of attitudes toward different categories of immigrants as of September 2011, but additional work would be useful to validate initial findings and track changes over time. Until its recent cancellation, the government-commissioned Citizenship Survey had been a possible vehicle for gathering such information. Without the Citizenship Survey, commercial pollsters and academic researchers are the most plausible candidates for collecting such data, but their aims may not match the needs of policy-makers to better understand public opinion on policy-relevant categories of immigrants.

Home / Arts & Sciences Foundation / About Our Endowment
The value of endowments
An endowment is a permanent fund, invested for growth and income. Its purpose is to provide a perpetual source of income. Endowment funds provide income that the College of Arts and Sciences can depend on. They support undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships, professorships and research funds. They build the bulwark for everything the College must do: recruit the best students and faculty, generate trailblazing research and work for a better world.
By generating a steady stream of income while leaving the principal untouched, the endowment makes it possible for the College to respond to unforeseen opportunities and weather the ebb and flow of state funding, tuition income and federal government grant making.
Endowments can be restricted or unrestricted. The donor of an endowment fund names the endowment and can specify its purpose. Donors who establish an endowment fund in the College receive updates on the fund's financial performance as well as its usage.
How endowments are invested
All College of Arts and Sciences endowments are invested in the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Foundation Investment Fund, also known as the Chapel Hill Investment Fund (CHIF). CHIF is part of the UNC Investment Fund, which also includes funds invested to support other schools in the UNC system.
For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019, the UNC Investment Fund generated a 7.7 percent investment return, boosted by strong domestic equity markets and the continued outstanding performance of its Private Equity portfolio. Relative to peers, this annual return ranked in the top decile of all endowments in the country, public or private. Over both the medium and long term, the Fund has exceeded its objective generating five- and ten-year annualized returns of 7.7 percent and 9 percent respectively and ranks in the top quartile of the Cambridge Associates' College and University endowment universe.
Oversight and spending policies
CHIF is overseen by a board of directors that includes Carolina alumni who are professional investors. The fund is well diversified among asset classes and fund managers who are recommended by UNC Management Company, Inc. and approved by the board.
Each year, the board authorizes a spending rate for the annual endowment distribution. This rate is determined according to a board-adopted spending policy that seeks to increase the prior year's "per unit" spending by an inflation factor, typically the Consumer Price Index, so long as the resulting spending rate is at least 4 percent and no more than 7 percent of the fund's market value.
This "constant growth" spending policy provides a stable, predictable and sustainable stream of spending intended to grow with inflation to support programs at the University. In high return years, investment returns in excess of the spending rate are reinvested so that in down years increases in the distribution amount can be maintained. Using this approach, the spending rate as a percent of the Chapel Hill Investment Fund's market value fluctuates from year to year. Over the long term, the intent is to distribute approximately 5 percent to 5.5 percent of the fund's market value annually.
If you are interested in creating an endowment fund in the College of Arts and Sciences, either with outright gifts or through planned giving, please contact Rob Parker, senior associate dean and executive director, Arts and Sciences Foundation, at 919-962-6183, rob.parker@unc.edu.

Chino Hills vs. Ayala
Huskies Give Everything They've Got

In a shocking and devastating turn of events, the Ayala Bulldogs claim the Bone this year. The final score was 14-10 Bulldogs on that fateful Friday night. The Huskies began the game with high expectations for themselves, being the first score of the game, with a field goal. Ayala countered and captured our early lead and scored a touchdown in the second quarter. Though slightly off by the Bulldogs' lead, the Huskies kept fighting. The Huskies did a fantastic job of blocking all scoring attempts by Ayala. The Husky crowd, fiercely competing with the Bulldog crowd for dominance, cheered on our players, with the help of the CHHS Spirit Leaders and Cheerleaders. The battle raged on, each team coming closer and closer to scoring without quite making it there. Then, it was half time. Our Marching Band and Drumline gave an incredible, high energy performance. The Dance Team also gave a peppy performance that got the crowd moving. When the game resumed, the intensity level rose. The end was looming, and the Huskies were still down 7-3. When the third quarter ended, the score remained the same. By this point, both crowds were cheering and stomping with an incredible magnitude. The players entered the fourth quarter. With a few minutes left on the clock, the Huskies have the ball. They're so close to the End Zone they can taste it. The Huskies give it everything they've got because this is their chance to win. Cheers exploded on the Home side of the field! Huskies get the Touchdown! The score is 10-7, and things are looking good. With an unimaginable twist of fate and a minute and a half left on the clock, the Bulldogs intercepted the ball, sprint 81 yards down the field, and score a touchdown. Now, the game is over. The Huskies gave it their best shot and played their best. While it would've been great to win for the ninth year, we believe that the Huskies will reclaim the Bone next year! And we'll do everything we can to make sure we do!
You Can't Win Them All

With the start of every new school year, also comes the annual football game that we all know as Battle of the Bone. In this yearly competition against our cross-town rivals, the Ayala Bulldogs, we have continuously beaten them for the last eight years. Well, this year that all changed.
Throughout the low scoring game, there seemed to be hope in the final minutes when the Huskies took a 3-point lead, but then, in the end, Ayala takes the win in a jaw clenching final two minutes of the game. When David Diaz dashed 80 yards on a kickoff return making a touchdown with 1:06 left in the game, he not only won the game for Ayala with 14-10 on the scoreboard but ended an eight-year winning streak as well. Though it truly is a devastating loss, you can't win them all and just so Ayala knows, we are coming back to win back that trophy next year.

After an astounding eight years of straight winning, the football team of Chino Hills High lost to our rivals, the Ayala Bulldogs on Friday, August 17. The game proved to be full of action and never had a dry moment. Students on both sides were sitting on the edge of the stands, eagerly awaiting their school's team to score and pull ahead. The game this year was held at Chino Hills High School in the stadium where dozens of students, staff, and parents filled the stands. By the time the game began, 7:00 pm, the stands were nearly filled to the brim. The game began with the Husky Marching Band playing our school's fight song while the football made their enthusiastic entrance onto the field. Soon, both teams had been introduced, the audience had settled, and the game began. The first quarter was the slowest, with little happening besides the occasional slip-up. The second quarter is where the game picked up and Ayala pulled ahead with a score of 10 to 7. This led into the third quarter where little happened yet again and had the crowd looking forward to finally reaching the fourth quarter. After an amazing turn of events, a player for Chino Hills High scored a touchdown and had the crowd going insane. Students of all ages cheered their hearts out as our fight song played behind them. Not long after, however, an offense player for Ayala slipped past our defense and made a touchdown. The huskies were left in shock and disbelief as Ayala rallied with their band and players. From then on, the rest of the game looked bleak and the crowd died down. Eventually, the timer was up, and an eight-year streak came to an end. Although we might have lost, we look forward to next year's game with a new sense of competition and spirit!
Battle of the Bone
Christopher Jones, Staff Writer
On August 17th, 2018, the biggest game of the year for Chino Hills High School commenced. The game was highly anticipated and was spoken about by every student and staff member of Chino Hills High since the first day of school. The " Battle of the Bone" is a football game between the rival schools Chino Hills Huskies and Ayala Bulldogs. The Huskies went into this game very confidently having won the previous eight years and expecting to make it nine. The Huskies were in for a big surprise. Hours before the game commenced and fans were already beginning to fill the bleachers preparing for the start of the game. While the player warmed up, students were beginning to show their school spirit starting chants and showing praise to the athletes who were about to play for the pride of all the students. The game finally began. Throughout most of the beginning, the score was low with only 3 points from Chino Hills and 7 from Ayala. The students were not scared at all being down though at this point of the game. The stands were radiating with the energy of the students cheering on their team throughout the whole game. Once the 4th quarter hit, the mood slowly went from hopeful to grim. It began to look as though we had no choice of coming back, but that's when the whole game changed. With 1 minute left in the game, Chino Hills overtook Ayala. The crowd erupted in cheers and shouts for the athletes. While the crowd was still cheering, Ayala delivered a devastating blow in the final seconds of the game. Ayala scored a miraculous touchdown to win the game destroying all of the joy from the crowd in one swift blow. The final score was Ayala 14 Chino Hills 10.

Zurich/Brasília. District Apostle Guillermo Vilor will be given a festive discharge into a well-deserved retirement in October of this year. He will be turning 66 in May of this year. In a letter to the congregations in his working area, District Apostle Vilor has informed members of who his successor will be: Apostle Raúl Montes de Oca. The 57-year-old lives in Colonia Suiza, Uruguay.
Apostle de Oca already received his first Church ministry back in 1971. For years he worked as a Sunday School teacher and Confirmation Class teacher in his home congregation. In 1989 he was ordained a Bishop, and three years later the former Managing Director of an import company for agricultural products entered into the full-time service of the Church. In February 2003 he was ordained an Apostle.

Q: Finding $\lim_{ n \to \infty }(1-\tan^2\frac{x}{2})(1-\tan^2\frac{x}{4})(1-\tan^2\frac{x}{8})...(1-\tan^2\frac{x}{2^m})=?$ Find the limit :
$$\lim_{ n \to \infty }(1-\tan^2\frac{x}{2})(1-\tan^2\frac{x}{4})(1-\tan^2\frac{x}{8})...(1-\tan^2\frac{x}{2^n})=?$$
My try :
$$1-\tan^2 y = \frac{2\tan y }{\tan(2y)}$$
$$\lim_{ n \to \infty }\left( \frac{2\tan\frac{x}{2} }{\tan(x)}\right)( \frac{2\tan\frac{x}{4} }{\tan(\frac{x}{2})})( \frac{2\tan\frac{x}{8} }{\tan(\frac{x}{4})})...( \frac{2\tan\frac{x}{2^n} }{\tan(\frac{x}{2^{n-1}})})=?$$
Now?

A: Note that the numbers in the deonominator and numerator cancel, leaving only $$\lim_{n \to \infty} 2^{n} \frac{\tan \frac{x}{2^n}}{\tan x}$$
In your original equation. However, as $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \frac{x}{2^n}=0$, we have that $$\lim_{n \to \infty} 2^n \tan \frac{x}{2^n}=\lim_{n \to \infty}x \times \dfrac{ \tan \frac{x}{2^n}}{\frac{x}{2^n}} =x$$
Using the fact that $\lim\limits_{a \to 0}\frac{\tan a}{a}=1$. So the limit becomes $$\lim_{n \to \infty} 2^n \times {\tan \frac{x}{2^n}} \times \frac{1}{\tan x}= \frac{x}{\tan x}=x \cot x$$
The answer is $x \cot x$.

It would seem that Jason Atherton is taking over the restaurant world! This week saw him open his third restaurant, Social Eating House, headed up by his long term partner, Paul Hood. The restaurant is located in the heart of Soho over three storeys. There is a 15 seater chef's table in the basement, the restaurant on the ground floor and then a very funky bar, with its own entrance on Poland Street on the top floor. As with his other two restaurants, this one is a looker! Quirky portraits on the walls (I wonder who they are?), panelled ceiling and exposed brick work. It felt like a place I could easily get comfortable in.
We had a Poland 58 cocktail to kick proceedings off. I am not sure exactly what was in it but it came in a neat little copper cup and the mixer was in a brown glass medicine bottle. I loved the presentation and I loved the drink. If that is the standard of cocktails being served in the upstairs bar, I may become a regular!
While we decided what to have we looked over the "Jars to share" section all priced at £4.50. The waiter recommended that we have two, but I didn't want to spoil my appetite, so we ordered Confit pork rillettes, grain mustard, cider vinegar. In hindsight, I wish we'd ordered more because it was delicious.
To start, I had Duck smoked "Ham, egg and chips" (£10.50). As you may know, I have a major thing for eggs with runny yolks and this one was divine. Bread crumbed and deep fried and tasting slightly of truffle, the chips serving as perfect little soldiers. The ham was beautifully rich and when, as recommended by our waiter, I let the yolk run all over the ham, it was pure heaven.
TBH ordered the Ravioli of wild boar bolognaise, Berkwell, peppered hearts and kidneys. (£8.50). I liked the sound of the dish but was a little frightened by the offal. I'm only just getting to grips with chicken livers! TBH is a much braver soul than I am. He loved it. Like he has said before "Nothing is as it seems in these types of restaurants". So even though you read offal on the menu, it isn't a big chunk of it on the plate. Maybe I'll try it next time.*Note to self* Must. Be. More. Adventurous!
There are a lot of fish dishes in the mains section, much to my delight. I ordered South Coast turbot, brown shrimp, cucumber, charlotte potato and mousseline sauce (£16.50). I was blown away at the price of this dish, turbot is notoriously expensive pound for pound. The fish was buttery and cooked to perfection. I'd never had a mousseline sauce, but mixed in with the cucumber and charlotte potatoes it was light and creamy; a lovely accompaniment to my fish. The crispy potato skins added a nice bit of texture and really reminded me of my mom, it was something she would often do.
TBH had the special of Onglet steak served with duck fat fried chips, peppercorn sauce and a side salad. Some béarnaise sauce arrived with it and I was expecting not to like it as I usually don't, but it had a nice citrus kick to it and wasn't overpowered by tarragon. TBH enjoyed his meal and the tastes I had, were very good too. Only the side salad was a little over seasoned but that is easily fixed.
For dessert I ordered Szechuan and sea salt baked pineapple, lime and coconut (£6.50). When this arrived, it looked as pretty as a picture. Not being a dessert lover, I was intrigued by the savoury notes in this dish. The pineapple was wafer thin and the Szechuan pepper and sea salt didn't come through that much. However, the mousse (or at least I think it was a mousse) was a perfect balance between sharp lime, sweet pineapple and desiccated coconut. I really enjoyed it.
For his dessert, TBH ordered Milk chocolate mousse, praline, chocolate éclair, salted caramel ice cream (£6.50). The presentation on this one we thought a little strange. Why would you put an éclair on a napkin? Never the less, the dessert was well executed and TBH was happy with his choice.
Service at times was a little slow, but considering this is just the soft launch, that can be forgiven. The staff were all well informed and were able to make some excellent recommendations. Michael West, Jason's business partner, was constantly walking around the restaurant to check that everything was in order and it seemed to be from our perspective. We even saw Jason himself chatting to staff and guests.
TBH and I have a lunch at The Delaunay coming soon, which I am really looking forward to.
*Disclaimer* We were invited to dinner as guests of Social Eating House during the soft launch of the restaurant. All opinions are my own.


Where do I find an oar to paint?
Quite often a client will already own an oar that they want me to paint. However many people do not have an oar and ask me to help. I can find an oar for you, but this is not always very quick as some types of oar are in short supply and not always available.
The best place to start looking for an oar is your own club, and those nearby. From there you might try the larger rowing schools and possibly even asking around at clubs further from home (either at regattas or by calling/emailing them). Boatmen at the larger clubs and schools have been known to stash these sorts of things, or know who has, so seek them out and ask.
Timber oars with the very long and narrow blade (pre-1960s) are very hard to find. I know of a couple of potential suppliers in the USA and Australia, but the cost is likely to be very high.
The post-1960 'macon' style of timber oars are readily available as many clubs were still using these into the 1980s and early 1990s. However these are also becoming less common and the prices are going up as clubs realise their scarcity value.
Early carbon shafted macon oars are quite cheap, as are older sets of cleaver (or hatchet) oars. Your club might be very happy to off load one these 'useless' old oars for a small donation to the new boat fund.
The cheapest and most common option is a modern blade without the full shaft. This is usually as a result of an accident. A blade with a short length of shaft can look very good displayed on a wall. Sometimes a damaged oar shaft can be repaired to a suitable cosmetic standard that it can serve as a full length trophy, so if your broken oar is still hanging together don't cut it cleanly just yet!
You can also buy a whole new oar. This might be a little expensive but you can always ask the company if there are any that are defective for use or sale that might suit you. Croker Oars does make a special trophy shaft that is very thin and only suitable for display.
To help clients I always like to develop a few good contacts at clubs who have stocks of useful oars. If someone asks for a particular style of oar I then go calling.
I also like to collect broken blades that might otherwise be thrown away. If you or your boatman keeps these to one side I will happily pay a small price for each.
The value of any oar or blade depends on the style, but also the condition. There are many hours of work needed to strip away years of paint, repair cracks and dents, revarnish shafts, then apply a clear and smooth top coat. Your oar may not be worth as much as you hoped, but I can not only ensure that it lives on in a meaningful way, but I can also help contribute to the new boat fund at your club!
If you have oars or blades for sale, email me and I'll find a way to have a look.


Support high input power. The left and right alt speaker may be adjusted in multi directions.
Treble and alt will be divided into two groups of speakers set up in non-point to about woofer in order to achieve a more robust three-dimensional sound effects. In addition, by adjusting the treble and the alt point of view point to the speaker, even in a large room, still allows a wide range of sound field from the treble to bass structured to convey to every corner of the room.
The high-power karaoke speakers combination with the advanced technology uses standard input 300W / maximum input of the industry's top 700W configurations, from the vibration plate, large diameter voice coil to the large heat-resistant magnets are the latest development of specially designed components therefor, has a strong high-power input handling capability, large volume of the sound will not break, so you can enjoy the sound effects like in a live house.

The level of engagement is at levels we have never seen before. Voters, including those in our dial- meter groups last night, watched last night's address with an extraordinary high level of political engagement, measured by the percent who say they are "almost certain to vote" in the 2020 election. The Rising American Electorate (people of color, unmarried women and millennials) is already more engaged than in the month before the highest midterm turnout election since World War I. African Americans, Latinos, and white millennials are near 100 percent on vote certainty, up by 20 to 30 points from the comparable point last year, and white unmarried women are up 22 points.
The Democratic presidential vote was not eroded and Trump's job performance gains were unimpressive. The post-SOTU bump in President Trump's job performance was as modest as it was among RAE voters in 2017, one of the smallest post-SOTU shifts for a first term president in our experience dial testing. White millennials, Latinos, and African Americans produced the same modest gains they did in 2018 and 2017, but the white college women remained resolute in their opposition, with no movement on Trump's performance and virtually no improvement on his 2020 vote. The president did make bigger gains with the RAE on his personal favorability, but that was probably the result of the empathy he showed for the many presidential guests and his surprising support for women, affordable health care and paid family leave.
Trump has lost the immigration battle. The President made immigration and border security the central pitch of his address last night, yet his post-SOTU shift on handling immigration was no bigger than last year's. He did get a warm response from African Americans and Latinos when praising legal immigration, but even white working-class women were turned off by his exaggerated claims about the danger of the border and migrant caravans. If the goal was to create a new context for a possible shutdown or emergency declaration with this address, then the President failed. The RAE voters were only 13 points more favorable towards 'a wall at the southern border' at the end of the night (30 to 43 percent warm) which is not significantly better than the temporary gains he made with last year's address (29 to 39 percent, +9 warmer). At the end of the night, just 32 percent said Trump was doing what was best for the country when it came to the shutdown over the wall.
The biggest gains of the night were on making health care more affordable, but beware of fake promises. President Trump's commitments to guaranteeing protections for pre-existing medical conditions and to reducing prescription drug prices led everyone to dial up their lines, particularly white working-class women and white unmarried women. Trump's gains on health care affordability were the biggest of the night and twice as large as his SOTU-improvement on the issue last year (+12 shift on 'will make health care affordable' in 2018 v. +23 shift this year among the RAE). But when he tried to say that drug costs declined at a record low rate, the lines took a hit. Voters showed they will only reward results. Plus, he made these gains championing positions his administration does not support, and just last fall he paid a big price for his failed campaign promise to working class voters to replace Obamacare with better, cheaper health insurance plans.
Trump saw a rise by recognizing women in the workplace and in Congress. Trump's recognition of working women, his commitment to paid family leave, and his mention of the historic number of women in the Congress produced some of the highest points in the dials across all groups last night. The Democratic women in white who stood in recognition of their progress provided an exciting moment to the white millennials who otherwise were the most immovable of our dialers. At the end of the night, Trump improved 20 points on being 'good for women,' much better than the 5-point shift among these RAE voters over the course of last year's address. But we suspect they were driven more by the celebrations of the Democratic women, and the President's playing along, than anything about his agenda or specific plans. And again, these gains come with the risk he will never support any of these policies that would help working families.
Criminal justice reform delivered a massive boost. The white millennials and African Americans in our dials went from hovering below 50 all evening to through the roof when they heard the President introduce former inmate Alice Johnson and the bipartisan First Step Act, a criminal justice reform law. But to be sure, Trump ended the night in roughly the same place as he did last year among African Americans, with roughly 8-in-10 disapproving. Notably, his speech was far less successful among white millennials compared to last year (+34 approve post-2018, +18 approve post-2019).
In the end, the Rising American Electorate said that they want Democrats in Congress to be a check on Trump rather than to work with him, by a two-to-one margin, marking even greater resistance to Trump and his agenda than last year (60 check to 40 work in 2018). Please stay tuned for a full report on these dial meters and pre and post survey responses in the coming day.
 These online dial meters were conducted during President Trump's State of the Union address among 206 registered voters nationally: 35 African Americans, 37 Latinos, 29 white millennials, 33 white unmarried women, 33 white working-class women, and 39 white college women. To ensure each demographic group was as representative as possible, they were individually recruited. Surveys were administered before and after the live dial-meter session. Where compared to 2018 results, the total is among the lines for African Americans, Latinos, white millennials and white unmarried women only. This research is qualitative, and results are not statistically projectable onto a larger population.


Over the past decade, people have begun to acknowledge that hotels are not all blessings for the local population and the ecosystem. We have recently understood the impact of travel on ecosystems and global warming. Where ECO tourism and sustainable tourism are in many communities, sustainable tourism takes social impacts into the facility. But there are historically many ECO resorts with excellent social programs that can consider changing tags.
Does sustainable tourism only have a local impact?
In most cases, sustainable hotels and resorts focus on their impact on the local community and the country in general. These are called sustainable hotels, resorts, or sustainable destinations if they are in more than one area or country. Add your destination and have sustainable tourism.
Green energy is a viable option for hotels?
You can buy green energy in most Western countries. This option is not available in the Caribbean. As a result, the only way to generate electricity. While there are many forms of green energy (see article on the Green Energy Opportunities in the Caribbean), we discuss only the concept of wind and solar energy, as these are the most obvious.
Paradise Bay installed an 80 kW windmill with an expected annual output of 180,000 kWh. This is the first utility windmill installed in Caricom and we did not find a resort that has already installed a windmill although it is more planned and under construction. Estimated annual energy consumption of 120,000 kWh, the resort will be better than zero carbon after joining the network as the energy reminder will be sold to the local power company. In our case, due to the direct position to the wind, windmill could be placed, while the windmill could have been placed in a retreat, for the guests not intrusive. We only get positive reactions from the windmill.
The Dutch company (www.mainwind.nl) recognized this gap and transport solutions in the form of medium-power (250-750 kW) windmills from upgraded wind parks. The need for repair is obvious; the lightest in existing wind farms is to increase capacity for current technology (2 – 3MW). The smaller windmills are completely replaced (fully refurbished) and have a new guarantee and, if applicable, a 15-year all-inclusive maintenance contract.
The price of photovoltaic cells has dropped significantly as production has increased over the last decades. In the Caribbean, we reach the point where the price of solar energy is approaching the electricity company's prize. This is contrary to the western hemisphere where energy prices are lower and the sun is less strong.
Solar cells installed in hotels often account for only a small part of the total energy demand and are then far more than symbolic. But the guests appreciate these efforts, so they value marketing. Much of the energy needs of the hotel are usually not possible because of the large number of panels required.
Solar water heaters are an excellent way to avoid energy consumption and payback time is between 1 and 4 years depending on installation. Because the water usage of the guests differs, it is considerably more economical for a number of solar collectors to be placed in parallel. If you have cloudy or rainy days, your yield will be much lower. One approach is to measure the worst case (rain). Another way is to heat the solar heated water in the "cold" input of the electric heater.
Use a heat exchanger with an air conditioner that transforms heat loss into hot water. For most air conditioning systems, this latter can be installed and traditional (electric) water heaters can be easily insulated. Installation can be done by good air conditioning technicians. Savings are fundamental and justifiable in every case we have seen. The reason why this is not the main problem, however, involves the much lower energy costs in the United States and Europe and the rapid increase in energy costs. Solutions are always behind reality.
Since waste heat will produce more water than your customers are using at any time, it is still very important to use energy-efficient air conditioners. In general, energy consumption is accounted for by larger central systems, but high savings are achieved by system-based air conditioning systems that are commonplace in the Caribbean region. Typical savings are 30-40%, so the payback period is short.
When guests are not in the room, they do not want to keep the air conditioning running. The traditional solution is the room key switch. When the guest leaves and withdraws the key, the air conditioner switches off – or some advanced central systems – to higher temperatures.
Another powerful effect is the door switches. When the balcony door is opened, you do not want the compressor to run. Perfectionists turn off the air conditioner when the windows are open but this is not always appreciated by the guests.
Cooling is an area where great savings can be achieved, especially in smaller units such as guest rooms. Savings also run in the range of 30-40%. The availability of energy-efficient professional refrigerators and freezers is still limited.
Use high-performance dishwashers and washing machines with hot water connection; this has a huge impact. Most built-in washing machines are already able to work with hot water instead of cold water (heated by an electric element). So this is just a matter of modifying the installation, which is an easy task. Especially for washing machines, a thermostatic valve must be fitted that mixes cold water in hot water to obtain the desired temperature.
Energy-saving lamps are the most popular form of saving energy and money, and most hotels are already using them. New developments are taking place that will save even more, so it is important to keep an eye on it before you order the bulbs.
Why would the Caribbean hotel be sustainable? Travelers are increasingly aware of global warming and other environmental hazards. Surveys have shown that a group of aggressively growing travelers is pursuing sustainable policies, and it is not uncommon for libraries to seek environmental protection.
So besides saving, apart from making smart decisions, marketing is a benefit.
Paradise Bay implements a carbon offsets program by automatically resorting to holiday homes, accommodation, local transport, which are carbon-free due to the windmill supplying the electricity grid.
Guest's freedom is guaranteed to be carbon neutral. The new carbon dioxide compensation program Zero Carbon Travel is growing in Ethiopia, which has additional social and ecological benefits. Due to deforestation, only 3% of the forest remained in Ethiopia. In a country where the majority of the poor population depends on firewood at dinner, it means that many people have to go to fish to find twigs. Fortified areas are more likely to be eroded, with significant mid- and long-term negative impacts. For a typical transatlantic flight, nearly 40 trees are planned, far more than most carbon offsets programs, which do not take into account carbon dioxide recycling. carbon dioxide after the life of the tree, and it uses too optimistic lifetime for trees. In the unregulated carbon dioxide sector, 5-6 times less wood is planned for the same trip 2-3 times higher. Efficiency and general costs are the problems. Zero Carbon Travel aims to be transparent, accounting and efficient.
All hotels and resorts will be able to use this efficient and therefore affordable plan to provide guests with a Carbon Free Stay (just compensate for the release due to stay) or go and offer guests Carbon Free Holidays includes the compensation of flights.
Hotels can choose between Carbon Free Stay and Vacation options or the price. In any way, it will have a positive impact on the image and will be a marketing / PR tool. Compensation for one night is almost always less than $ 0.70 / night, while compensating for a $ 10-20 $ flight. With the new Zero Carbon Travel initiative, the hotel can receive commissions for aviation compensation. If a checker tells the guest that the hotel has paid for carbon-free stays, then the right atmosphere is created to ask the guest to pay a small amount to offset their carbon emissions.
Especially in the Caribbean, we really need to deal with long-distance travel as part of existence. Other aspects of sustainable travel include waste water treatment, organic products, meat and detergents, social programs, and so on. Again, it should be stressed that more and more people are becoming more and more aware of (and wanting to pay more) for responsible hotels. Organizations such as the spiral growth of responsibletravel.com (UK) and sustainable international travel (US) reinforce the trend.


I do not know why Pilates has earned this reputation, but the idea that it's a feminine kind of exercise is a complete fallacy.
The creator of Pilates was a man, and in its early days, it was much more practiced by men then women. I am certain that any man who has attended a Pilates class will confirm there is nothing girly about the practice. It's a highly intelligent system of body conditioning, concentrating on core strength and flexibility, and it's a challenging workout.
Pilates benefits all people—men, women, the young, the elderly, athletes, the injured, etc. Pilates is ageless, genderless, and colorless.
Pilates requires concentration, control, and great precision. To preform the exercises correctly, the mind must be fully engaged and aligned with the body. Joseph Pilates created his method so that people could move through this world—the here and now—with a strong, supple, and healthy body. There is no spiritual doctrine.
Joseph did, however, believe in developing the relationship between body, mind, and spirit. He saw the physical art of Pilates—the strengthening and stretching of the body—as a practice that could invigorate people mentally and renew their spirit. He believed his method led to true balance in the individual, which encompasses all realms—the physical, mental, and spiritual.
Personally, I believe the breath has a huge role to play in taking the physical practice of Pilates into a deeper mental, and perhaps even spiritual, sphere. When the mind is linked with the body and breath, it becomes possible to be captivated by the present moment. During the practice, there is potential to enter into a flow and discover a kind of zone—this magical state; this one moment in time where there is only your body, only your breath. However, this is not unique to Pilates. Any kind of movement and art form can do this.
Firstly, flexibility is essential to a healthy, balanced body. An ideal body is one that is both strong and flexible. A strong body without any flexibility is limited in what it can do and also more prone to injury; as is a flexible body without strength.
Pilates does indeed work on flexibility, but it works just as much on strength. As cited above, Pilates is challenging—plain and simple. It focuses on building core strength, (the deep muscles of the abdominals and back), and there is no easy way to do this. You must work hard. In fact, if you find the exercises easy, you probably are not doing them properly.
