The RNC weaponized exhaustion
The sheer volume of lies and illegal behavior from Trump and the Republicans is what allowed them to get away with it.
By Zack Beauchamp@zackbeauchamp Aug 28, 2020, 12:30pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: The RNC weaponized exhaustion
President Donald Trump's RNC speech plays on a television at (a mostly empty) Los Angeles International Airport, August 27, 2020.

Zack Beauchamp is a senior correspondent at Vox, where he covers ideology and challenges to democracy, both at home and abroad. Before coming to Vox in 2014, he edited TP Ideas, a section of Think Progress devoted to the ideas shaping our political world.
The most consistent theme of Donald Trump's Republican National Convention wasn't that Joe Biden was a puppet for radicals. It wasn't even that rioters and looters are coming to your home and only Trump can protect you from the radical left.
The clear theme of the RNC was a flagrant and brutal disregard for the truth.
The first night of the RNC featured more false and misleading claims than all four nights of the DNC put together, according to a CNN fact-check. The second night starred an anti-abortion activist whose tale about the horrors of Planned Parenthood had been exposed as a fraud more than 10 years ago. On the third night, Vice President Mike Pence suggested that the murder of a police officer by a far-right extremist was a crime committed by left-wing rioters. It was all capped off by President Trump's Thursday night speech, a farrago of falsehoods that even veteran Trump fact-checkers found stunning.
"Basically everything Trump says about Biden's proposals is false," the Washington Post's Philip Bump writes. In a tour-de-force segment, CNN's Daniel Dale spent three minutes debunking the speech at a rapid clip — and still didn't cover all the lies:
Hell of a thing to watch CNN's @ddale8 fact-check the cascade of lies from Trump's speech. pic.twitter.com/aRQuHf0qE5
— Oliver Darcy (@oliverdarcy) August 28, 2020
Writing honestly about the RNC requires centering the dishonesty. But adequately describing the sheer breadth and brazenness of the lying that was on display these past four days would take volumes. And after a certain point, the whole thing reaches diminishing returns: Some depressing political science research suggests that pointing out when Trump is lying doesn't actually change the way voters feel about him.
And that's the dark brilliance of the RNC, and maybe the entire Trump presidency. If you just lie and break legal rules frequently enough and brazenly enough, the sheer volume of misconduct will overwhelm the systems that are designed to check them.
The exhauster-in-chief
You may have noticed that the White House was a main character at this week's RNC. It was the backdrop to President Trump's address and the site where he filmed a naturalization ceremony for five immigrants without all of the new Americans' consent.
No modern president has used the White House like this during a convention before, for the simple reason that it is illegal. The Hatch Act of 1939 puts strict limits on federal employees' ability to participate in electioneering, including a ban on using their "official authority or influence for the purpose of interfering with or affecting the result of an election." While the president and the vice president are exempt from the Hatch Act, the huge numbers of White House staff necessary to plan and execute a mass political rally at the White House are not.
The Hatch Act is not a dead letter: This year, federal employees have lost their jobs and been banned from public service for offenses far less severe than turning the White House into the site of a political pageant. But there's no sign that anyone in the Trump administration will suffer any consequences for their behavior — and worse, they know it. "Some of Mr. Trump's aides privately scoff at the Hatch Act and say they take pride in violating its regulations," the New York Times's Michael M. Grynbaum and Annie Karni report.
Trump gets away with this not despite the severity of the abuses but because of them. When the wrongdoing is so flagrant and so widespread, so routinized in the functioning of government, it becomes impossible to separate the misconduct from the Trump administration itself. What is the Office of the Special Counsel, the federal agency that handles Hatch Act violations, supposed to do — kick out the entire White House staff?
This same tactic also works to keep the Republican Party in line. In the past, members of a president's party might be willing to criticize isolated instances of misconduct by the president or his staff. But with Trump, the dishonesty and criminality are so baked in that the GOP can't realistically go after it without discrediting the entirety of his presidency. So they're faced with a choice: undermine their own hold on power or go along with the degradation.
It's very clear they've chosen the second.
"One notable thing about Trump's dishonesty last night: almost all of it was in his prepared text," writes Dale, the CNN fact-checker. "In general, the vast majority of his lying as president has been ad-libbed. In campaign season, they start putting the lies in the scripts."
Sen. Tom Cotton, widely seen as both Trump's pick for second-term secretary of defense and a leading 2024 Republican presidential hopeful, gave a speech on the fourth night defending Trump's foreign policy record and attacking Biden's. The speech was full of lies; Fred Kaplan, Slate's veteran foreign policy columnist, writes that Cotton "rat-a-tat-tatted a dozen points of contrast between Trump and Joe Biden — all of them baseless."
Immediately after the speech, Cotton received predictably negative reviews from fact-checkers. This was his response:
I see your fact checks. I am not impressed.
— Tom Cotton (@TomCottonAR) August 28, 2020
Of course, politicians have always lied and misled the public. But in the past, they generally would try to avoid the Trumpian volume of blatant and overt falsehood, favoring clever spin and shading over outright lies whenever possible. Fact-checking worked because, in theory, politicians could be shamed by being called out as liars.
But the Trump-Cotton Republican Party doesn't care about being shamed. They have become so disdainful of the essentials of political practice in a democratic society — a baseline attachment to the rule of law and honesty in political discourse — that they mock the very idea of accountability on these questions. They count on the sheer volume of misinformation — "flooding the zone with shit," in Steve Bannon's memorable phrase — to overwhelm our political institutions' ability to check their misbehavior.
In short, they count on making us all exhausted — beating us over the head so heavily and consistently with lies that we feel abused into treating them like a normal party, debating normal things like whether their "law and order" message will resonate with median white voters in Wisconsin.
But this convention was rotten, from top to bottom. Engaging with it as a serious political event, rather than an extended exercise in dishonesty and lawbreaking, is to grant it legitimacy that it does not deserve.

It has been so remarkable participating in these monthly tea sessions that time has slipped by and two seasons have come and gone. But we haven't lost the joy behind creating these gatherings, serving you and this growing circle of people. We're just as committed to connecting you to astonishing teas and organic farmers, to this living tea tradition and our center in Taiwan, and of course to each other. As much as the first month, we learn about which tea to share with excitement and are thrilled to visit the farmers that wish to donate their tea to you. We are just as joyous about packaging these envelopes, writing these newsletters and selecting gifts for you as we were when this all started for a much smaller group of tea brothers and sisters. And we hope you are as thrilled to receive these packages as we are to send them.
It feels like this gathering has grown in more than size alone, like we have also all grown closer for these shared tea sessions. It seems easy to slip into a casual tone writing for these newsletters, as though chatting with old friends. And indeed, we have been thrilled to have visits from many of you, or at least to receive word that your Eastward-bound trips are in the works.
In this tradition we say that we learn not how to make tea, but rather how to serve it. This isn't a witticism; serving is in concordance with the true spirit of tea. Tea wants to be shared. It speaks to the soul as a connecter, connecting us with Great Nature and with each other. A fine tea is so much better when the jar is opened in the spirit of sharing rather than in the name of enjoyment. Of the hundred best teas we have ever drunk, there have been so few that we could have owned ourselves - they were all shared with us freely and openly, given in the spirit of connection, many too priceless to ever be bought or sold. Long ago, the sages that cloudwalked Chinese mountains had little else to give a passing guest, other than the leaves they had gathered from nearby trees. And sometimes, these simple gifts are the most important. It is, after all, the priceless parts of life that matter most.
It has been amazing to hear that so many of you have figured this out and started sharing these little envelopes of tea with others, in the spirit of spreading this tradition and Cha Dao as well. You inspire us. It seems that with each passing month, this center becomes more active - ignited by the energy of your support! There are more guests, emails and queries. We have a new book out, which you'll learn about later on in this issue; and if you haven't yet checked out the videos we are making, you should head to the GTH website (www.globalteahut.org) and have a look. They are getting better each time, as we learn our craft. We know this will also be an important medium in sharing our tradition with this magnificently modern world.
As this Hut grows and we share these teas each month, let the heart be warmed by our community and the small, though poignant, effect it's having on the world. Take the time to share this month's tea in a warm space, as so many of us are experiencing a shift in the weather, in the moon and wind. Perhaps go outside one last time before winter and share this month's tea with someone special. Maybe you'll tell them about the marvelous farmer that produced it, or about how proud he is to be connecting to you all.
A weary mountain man came across a hut after weeks of wandering alone. The hint of company enticed his soul in ways even food could not, and he realized how hungry he was for companionship. The smoke from the small hut seemed a ribbon of joy, descending rather than ascending from Heaven. He strolled up confidently, knowing that tea would bind him and his soon-to-be brother. Sure enough, there was little space between the opened door and the first bowl of tea, offered graciously and with a smile - for nothing pleased the old hermit more than a far-off traveler stopping by for some tea. Perhaps the traveler, a stranger no more, would smile at the scroll of calligraphy that was the only decoration in the otherwise sparse hut: "Through tea make friends!"

Indonesian developers rush to join capital relocation project
Government's announced farewell to Jakarta expected to create 500,000 jobs
Indonesian President Joko Widodo announces the relocation of the country's capital, a move that is expected to boost the nation's economy by 2%. © Reuters
ERWIDA MAULIA, Nikkei staff writer August 29, 2019 16:18 JST | Indonesia
JAKARTA -- A day after President Joko Widodo announced his plan to move Indonesia's capital to East Kalimantan Province, property developer Agung Podomoro Land placed a full-page ad in a national newspaper offering investment opportunities in a new apartment and commercial complex in the province's largest city.
"Borneo Bay City, world-class resort ... best investment in the new capital in East Kalimantan," reads the ad, published in Kompas on Tuesday. It adds that the "superblock" will consist of luxury apartment towers, a five-star hotel, shopping malls and other facilities. Further, it will be "strategically located," a 20-minute drive from the future capital.
Agung Podomoro Land's share price gained 8% the same day.
Some business executives have been euphoric since Widodo on Monday ended months of speculation and announced that the new capital will sit on 1,800 sq. km of land in the Penajam Paser Utara and Kutai Kartanegara districts in East Kalimantan Province, on Borneo Island.
The current capital, Jakarta, is on the island of Java and some 1,400 km southwest of where its successor is to rise.
The prospective move will give a direct advantage to property developers and construction companies already operating in East Kalimantan as well as to players with the potential to take part in its development.
The shares of PP Properti, the property development arm of state-owned construction company Pembangunan Perumahan, jumped nearly 18% on Tuesday. One day earlier, President Taufik Hidayat said his company has a hotel and shopping mall in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan's largest city.
"We've started [planning] to develop more properties across 500 hectares of land," Hidayat told reporters shortly after Widodo's announcement. "Since four months ago, we've been studying potential opportunities from the relocation plan ... to focus on [what] measures to take."
The shares of Bumi Serpong Damai, another major property developer and part of the Sinar Mas Group, are also on the rise. The company is known to have more than 5 sq. km of land in East Kalimantan, divided between Balikpapan and Samarinda, the provincial capital. Both cities are close to the site of the future capital.
State-owned construction company Wijaya Karya, or Wika, is also excited about the relocation plan.
"Wika has been preparing since early on to develop the new capital -- on the construction side and the financial side," Wika president Tumiyana told reporters on Wednesday. "Wika is very much ready to be at the forefront ... of this big mission."
Tumiyana said Wika is involved in building a 99 km toll road that will open in October, connecting Balikpapan and Samarinda. The company has also built the Balikpapan airport and a power plant in another part of East Kalimantan.
With its experience in the province, Wika expects to be involved in building basic infrastructure -- from roads to a power grid to water works -- for the yet-to-be-named capital.
Tumiyana said Wika will look for foreign partners to jointly finance and develop basic infrastructure in the new city. He added that land acquisition likely will not be an issue as most of the land allotted for the new capital is already owned by the government.
Development costs for the new capital are estimated at 466 trillion rupiah ($32.7 billion). Most of that money, an estimated 265 trillion rupiah, is projected to go toward the construction of housing, schools, hospitals and commercial districts. Basic infrastructure costs are estimated at 156 trillion rupiah. And about 33 trillion rupiah is slated for the construction of government offices, including a new presidential palace, a House of Representatives building and new national police and military headquarters.
The relocation adds to Widodo's ambitious infrastructure spree, which following his reelection in April, has lifted stock prices for infrastructure and property companies at large. The Indonesia Stock Exchange's infrastructure, utilities and transportation index has jumped 15% so far this year, while the property, real estate and building construction index is up nearly 12%. The Jakarta Composite Index has gained 1.35% during the same period.
The state budget will cover about 19% of the capital's relocation costs, with the government planning to involve the private sector as much as possible, especially through public-private partnerships.
The move is to begin in 2024. Although it is being left behind, Jakarta will remain the nation's commercial and financial hub.
Despite all the applause for the capital relocation, some business circles have expressed concern, including Kowantara, a community for wartegs, or privately owned small streetside restaurants, a staple of everyday life in Jakarta.
It released a statement saying that it "reject[s] the plan to move the capital." Although Kowantara cites macroeconomic headwinds, like small businesses struggling as consumers' purchasing power recedes, it likely fears a loss of customers as government officials and others relocate to another island.
While small-time restaurateurs fear this fate, large corporations are preparing for their own.
Executives at state-owned Bank Mandiri said as soon as a regulatory framework is completed, Mandiri will build a large office in East Kalimantan from where it will help finance the capital relocation. The government seeks to complete the framework by the end of this year.
"Mandiri will proactively approach construction contractors" from the private and public sectors, Mandiri Director Alexandra Askandar told reporters on Wednesday. With state budget "allocations to start in 2020, we believe there will be requests for funding related to [the capital relocation] soon."
David Sumual, chief economist at Indonesia's largest private lender, Bank Central Asia, said sectors such as construction and trading, finance, heavy equipment, and food and beverage will benefit the most from "first-round effects" from 2020 to 2025. There are forecasts that up to 500,000 jobs will be created during this period.
From 2024 to 2027, logistics services between Java and Kalimantan will be big profit-earners. Later, private investment in the new capital's supporting sectors -- retail, education, health and hospitality -- will increase.
The relocation will create multiplier effects that will positively impact Indonesia's economy, Sumual said.
"At the national level, the capital relocation will add 2% to the baseline growth projection between 2020 and 2030," he said. "Kalimantan, especially, will enjoy an added 8.5% growth from the baseline projection, and Java 1.5%."

The Cultural Environment
at the turn of the 21st Century
But first, let's imagine how we might be thought of in the future.
The Modern, Nodern, Oddern, Podern, and Qodern Periods
The predominance of using the prefix 'post' to name a period (almost always the one in which people found themselves at the time) flourished in the first decade of the 21st Century, and as one writer noted, 'everything is posts … I need a saw to cut them down, too see the horizon'. Recognizing the Modern period as being the one which encompassed most of the 20th Century, one that was clearly defined, it followed that one should simply used the letters of the alphabet to replace the 'post' fashion, and hence, post-modernism was renamed the Nodern, and post-post-modernism was renamed the Oddern (although it is notable that post-post-modernism was never as popular, and many people were confused by this point not knowing exactly what time they were living in).
The first decade of the 21st Century, according to the historical records, referred to its self variously as:
'post-nine-eleven'
'post-national'
'post-modern' (or shortened to 'pomo')
'post-post-modern'
'post-industrial'
'post-agrarian'
The Nodern Period
The Nodern was once known as the 'post-modern' and characterized the time between, roughly, 1975-1995. Since it saw itself as a movement that put Modernism behind it, it is perhaps explained best by looking at how it saw Modernism. As the overall paradigm of the 20th Century, Modernism defined how human beings in the West saw both themselves and their creative works. It created neat categories to enable definition, but in the language of the late 20th Century's marketing, 'post-modernism' was about 'thinking outside the box'.
It's language emphasized the prefix 'meta' meaning 'overarching' and so, Post-Modernist/Nodernist talk refers to 'metanarratives'. The most famous definition of what it meant to be beyond Modernism was to see 'metanaratives' as unbelievable.
The privileging of one story as had been the case under Modernism came into question, and the Nodern began to look into the as yet untold stories. Although, it is also necessary to point out the Western centric dominance of this vision, as the so-called untold stories were simply untold by Western thinkers to a Western audience. The Nodernist thinkers, while claiming to be on the side of the 'non-west' really saw themselves as deeply involved in the Western tradition that goes back to Latin Classicism.
The Nodern period was also characterized by a dominant political ideology that attempted to recast human life in simple economic terms. The politics of the time were characterized by an overall concern with 'lowering trade barriers' with the belief that such action would improve human life across the globe, and while misguided in the extreme, represents the first stirrings of a globalized mono-culture, one that began to develop with the increased capacity of telecommunication technology and the ease of global travel in the late 20th Century. The unbelief in OneStory (metanarrative) was fostered by the evidence that there were an extraordinary variety of stories that people could pick and choose from in order to lead richer lives.
Noism
Cultural historians often joke that the Nodern refers to 'nothing good came out of it'. The clash between the tradition dating back to Ancient Rome in the West, and the confrontation with an global political and cultural tradition, reminiscent of empires (especially those of 19th Century Europe) caused much confusion and is one of the reasons the joke came about. It is best seen as a highly concentrated period of upheaval and transition, and it is sometimes popularly called Nomo.
This has prompted some contemporary culturalists to claim they are Noists, with the Toronto group The No No Things being perhaps the best well known. In this way, they claim to be the fulfillment of the 20th Century avant-garde project (which the Nodern claimed to be the height of at the time) as the 20th Century Dadaists were named after the Russian term for 'yes' – 'da'. Hence, answering the Dadaists nonsensical Yes Yes with their highly contrived and intellectual No No. It is notable to point out that Noism is highly esoteric and therefore culturally irrelevant within our larger Qodern context.
The Oddern and Podern Period
The six year period between 1995 and 2001 is referred to by historians who use this terminology as the Oddern period, who smirk when they say it was characteristically 'odd'. The beginning of the end of the globalist ideology manifested itself in a rise of popular protests – first in 1997 against the Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI) and most famously, 'The Battle in Seattle' in 1999, which was followed by popular protests throughout 2000, culminating in April 2001 in Quebec City. Protests were planned for events that autumn, but the terrorists attacks of 11 September suddenly altered the political dialogue and ended the care-free callousness that had been popular in the developed world since the end of the Cold War ten years before.
The Oddern was also seen to be odd due to the rather sudden blossoming of the internet, which transformed everyone's lives – henceforth, email and websurfing and stories of 'dot-com millionaires' became ordinary, while the politics of the United States focused on the sex-life of the President culminating in an attempted impeachment.
The Podern was so called because P followed O which followed N which followed M; so wrote the historian who coined the term. But a rival school of thought argues that the Podern is specific to the autumn of 2001 when Apple Incoperated introduced the iPod, which became the defining artifact of the time. As the iPod allowed for the assembly and playback of a vast amount of files (which hadn't been possible before, and the iPod's storage capacity at the time was unique) it is seen to be an appropriate term for this period since its culture consisted to a large extant of reassembly and recontextualization.
People living during the Podern Period sometimes called this 'the deejay culture'. The term deejay comes from the acronym, D.J, (disc jockey) those who remixed and assembled playlists of music at nightclubs or on radios. The term jockey goes back to horse racers, hence the sense that this was the one in control. The first radio broadcasters would play a variety of music singles (which at that time consisted of vinyl discs) and with the development of the music-movie (known as 'music videos') the term was modified for those who introduced them on television. They were called veejays ('video jockeys').
The deejay began to overtake the rockstar in the early 1990s as the appreciable peak of music performance, with the rave dance parties that began in the UK in the 1980s. By the early 90s, the rave had been imported to North America, and by 1995 it was known in the mainstream. Hence, the late 90s, while known as the Oddern, are also referred to by cultural historians at The Early Podern Period. The school which promotes the presence of the Apple iPod device as the defining characteristic of the Podern (rather than merely going with the alphabetical arangement) agrees with this assessment, noting that the iPod's arrival in 2001 was also the first proper year of the 21st Century, and the year in which the terrorists attacks on the United States occurred, the defining political event of that era.
It was also during this time that 'classicism' was re-defined to encompass more that it had previously. During the 18th, 19th, and 20th Centuries, Western centric cultural observers always referred to 'classical' as being the culture of Ancient Greece and Rome – defined simply perhaps as 'the architectural column'. Neo-classicism developed in the late 18th and 19th Century, and at that time referenced the fashion of imitating the culture of Ancient Greece and Rome, but neo-classicism was followed by Modernism. By the early 21st Century, Modernism had developed it's own cannon of 'classics' which were then copied, referenced, and imitated in such as way that the sampling and re-assembly of this cannon by the Podernists represented a Modernist neo-classicism. Historians now speak of 'Latin Classicism' when referring to the culture of Ancient Greece and Rome, and even that of the European Renaissance to the 19th Century Neo-classical period, since what these cultures all have in common (except for the original Greek) is the presence of the Latin language in the culture (either as the vernacular in the earliest, or as the language of European scholarship later on).
The Old Master Painters, who had become unfashionable during Modernism, began to be imitated by a generation of painters in the late 20th Century, and who were then called 'New Old Masters' and eventually, New Masters, until that died out and the term 'Master Painter' returned to the vocabulary as someone who excels in the craft of image making by hand.
Self-reflection in the Podern Period
The Podern is marked by the terrorist attacks on the United States of America on 11 September 2001, which sparked a flourishing of American militarism, and subsequent wars against Afghanistan during 2001-2002, Iraq in 2003, and Iran in 2007. The international dialogue shifted from one of 'globalized trade' (popular during the Nodern) to one of renewed nationalities and cultural identities.
Many at the time were dismayed to see the dialogue revert from that of the late 20th Century's secular humanism to one that seemed to pit the United States' version of fundamentalist Christianity against the Middle East's version of fundamentalist Islam. Centering the dialogue on cultural identity seem to be nothing more than the mainstream catching up to much of the cultural elites preoccupation with what was called 'identity politics' during the Nodern's 1990s, and encouraged self-reflection at all levels during the decade of 2000s.
In television, Dr. Phil was a popular therapy show, (although never had Foucault's warnings about conformity and madness had a greater example); the show had been an offshoot of the ever-popular eponymous Oprah Winfrey show, which emphasized self-improvement through the 'tales of personal triumph' of common people and celebrities, with handy shopping tips thrown in for good measure and promotion. In movies (the dominant art form of the time) self-reflection is emphasized in the films written by Charlie Kaufman: Being John Malkovich (1999) is about seeing the world through some-one else's eyes (John Malkovich was a popular actor who himself stared in the film). In Adaptation (2002), Kaufman caricatured himself by making a confused scriptwriter part of the story, inventing an identical twin brother to balance his neurotics. In Chad Schmidt (2008), the eponymous character is an actor who has a hard time finding work because he too closely resembles Brad Pitt, the most famous actor of the decade, played by Brad Pitt himself.
In theatre, Darren O'Donnell exemplified this intensive self-reflection with his play A Suicide-Site Guide to the City (2003-2006).
The Qodern Period
Some historians, uncomfortable with the easy explanation of using the alphabet to name the eras, look to the 20th Century's use of Q to explain the Qodern. The letter Q became very popular in the second-half of the 20th Century, being used as pen-names and as the title of books; in the James Bond film series, Q was the alias of the UK's Secret Service engineer; in the Star Trek Sagas Q was a mischievous god. The Dutch author Harry Mulisch named the main character in his 1997 novel, The Discovery of Heaven Quinten Quist, whose initials of QQ hinted at his supernatural characteristics. As Mulisch wrote:
'His initials are Q.Q.' 'Qualitate qua,' nodded Onno. 'That is rare. The Q is the most mysterious of letters, that circle with that line,' he said, while he formed a slightly obscene gesture a circle with the manicured thumb and index finger of one hand and the line with the index finger of the other, 'the ovum being penetrated by a sperm. And twice at that. Very nice. My compliments.' (p.361)
The contemporary historian Wu Zhenguo identifies the Qodern with that of the Star Trek Sagas' character. Noting that Q was seemingly omnipotent, omnitemporal, and omnipowerful he argues that our present society's capacity for 'all-awareness' via the net is an adequate metaphor for our capacities. We may not be able to have things materialize out of thin air with a snap of the fingers, as could Q, but the idea Wu advances is that our capacities through nanotechnology and intercommunication most resembles that of our historical ideas of what only gods were capable of.
In addition, through our Representative technology, we can indeed speak with historical characters, in ways that Q flaunted and that which we were not capable of doing during the Podern.
The Qodern is a time period of psychological health, intensive communication and dialogue. The banes of existence throughout history: poverty and disease, have been eliminated for the most part: all diseases are at least treatable but no longer death sentences, and the lifespan has been extended so that one can afford a greater amount of time reading, thinking, or playing, barring the unfortunate accident of course.
The development of the Podern period began to show people how unprofitable it was to continue to dehumanize any segment of society, and how much better off everyone could be by extending benefits and encapsulating dialogue in a system of rights. While the globalist economic arguments which petered out by the Podern created for a time a sense of confusion, ultimately we look back and see how this time allowed for our new view of society as an engine for creativity and education to emerge. The view that all of us enjoy and benefit from today.

Brief Fact Summary. The Plaintiffs, Windsor and other class members (Plaintiffs) and the Defendants, Amchem Products, Inc. and other companies (Defendants), in a class action suit involving asbestos litigation, attempted to reach a global settlement agreement applying to all present and future asbestos claims.
Synopsis of Rule of Law. A global settlement of a class action suit purporting to apply to all present and future potential plaintiffs is void if it does not provide structural assurances that it will take into account the differences among the individuals and groups affected.
Confronted with a request for settlement-only class certification, a district court need not inquire whether the case, if tried, would present intractable management problems, for the proposal is that there be no trial.
Facts. In 1991, eight federal judges, experienced in the superintendence of asbestos cases, urged the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to consolidate in a single district all asbestos complaints then pending in federal courts. All such cases, filed, but not yet tried, were transferred to the District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and were consolidated for pretrial proceedings. After the consolidation, attorneys for the Plaintiffs and Defendants began settlement negotiations, focusing on a way to settle claims for asbestos cases not yet in litigation. After settling existing claims, CCR, a consortium of Defendants and certain Plaintiffs' lawyers launched this case, exclusively involving the Plaintiffs without already pending lawsuits. The class action presented was not intended to be litigated. Rather, the parties presented to the district court a complaint, an answer, a proposed settlement agreement and a joint motion for class certification all in a single day. One group of Plaintiffs in the complaint alleged that they had not yet manifested any asbestos-related condition, while all named Plaintiffs were designated as representatives of the class as a whole. Class members were to be bound by the settlement in perpetuity. In January of 1993, the district court certified the class. Objectors raised numerous challenges to the settlement. The Court of Appeals reversed, finding that the class could not meet the adequacy representation requirement of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure (FRCP) 23(a)(4).
Issue. This case concerned the legitimacy of a class action certification seeking to achieve global permanent settlement of current and future asbestos-related claims.
Held. The decision of the Circuit Court was affirmed. The sprawling class the district court certified does not satisfy FRCP Rule 23's adequacy of representation requirements. The settling parties achieved a global compromise with no structural assurance of fair and adequate representation for the diverse groups and individuals affected.
Dissent. Justice Stephen Breyer (J. Breyer) dissented in part, in which he was joined by Justice John Paul Stevens (J. Stevens). Their dissent focused on their belief that the district court was in a better position than the Supreme Court of the United States (Supreme Court) to make fact based determinations regarding whether class members were fairly and adequately represented.
Discussion. The Supreme Court's decision here can largely be read as a restriction on the tenuous nature of the settlement-class in class action lawsuits. Before approving a settlement in a class action lawsuit, the Supreme Court will require a serious inquiry into the adequacy of representation of potential class members affected by the settlement. With reason, the Supreme Court is concerned with potential conflicts of interest by lawyers representing factions of the class.

Following cloning of the endogenous receptor for THC, namely the CB1R, endogenous CB1R ligands, or "endocannabinoids" (eCBs) were discovered, namely anandamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (reviewed in ). The CB1R is an inhibitory Gi/o protein-coupled receptor that is mainly localized to nerve terminals, and is expressed on both γ-aminobutryic acid-ergic and glutamatergic neurons. eCBs are fatty acid derivatives that are synthesized on demand in response to neuronal depolarization and Ca2+ influx, via cleavage of membrane phospholipids. The primary mechanism by which eCBs regulate synaptic function is retrograde signaling, wherein eCBs produced by depolarization of the postsynaptic neuron activate presynaptic CB1Rs, leading to inhibition of neurotransmitter release . The "eCB system" includes AEA and 2-arachidonoylglycerol; their respective degradative enzymes fatty acid amide hydroxylase (FAAH) and monoacylglycerol lipase; the CB1R and related CB2 receptor (the latter expressed mainly in the periphery); as well as several other receptors activated by eCBs, including the TRPV1 receptor, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ, and G protein-coupled 55 receptor, which functionally interact with CB1R signaling (reviewed in [21, 24]). Interactions with the TRPV1 receptor, in particular, appear to be critical in regulating the extent to which eCB release leads to inhibition or facilitation of presynaptic neurotransmitter release . The TRPV1 receptor is a postsynaptic cation channel that underlies sensation of noxious heat in the periphery, with capsacin (hot chili) as an exogenous ligand. TRPV1 receptors are also expressed in the brain, including the amygdala, periaqueductal grey, hippocampus, and other areas [26, 27].
India is the main cultivator of all the world's turmeric crops and consumes 80% of the world's supply. Due to the high content of the main bioactive component in turmeric (curcumin) Indian turmeric is considered to be the best in the world for medicinal purposes. The Indian city of Erode, located in the South Indian State of Tamil Nadu, is the trading hub for turmeric in the Eastern hemisphere. Erode is so well known for its turmeric production that it is referred to as "Yellow City," and "Turmeric City" (similar to the way that my living room couch is covered in yellow stains from my frequent turmeric sprinkling on most of the dinners I eat).

It's genuinely very complicated in this busy life to listen news on Television, therefore I just use the web for that purpose, and get the latest news.
Hello everyone, it's my first pay a quick visit at this site, and post is in fact fruitful in favor of me, keep up posting these types of posts.

Wave is currently testing a new treatment known as 'Precision medicine'. The drug only targets the disease-causing protein and leaves the healthy protein alone.
In July 2017, Wave Life Sciences started their clinical trial known as 'Precision HD'. The trial is a so-called Phase I clinical trial – which means it is a first-in-human trial testing a specific drug.
Phase I is conducted with a small number of patients (Roche's Huntingtin lowering trial was for instance carried out in 46 participants). In this phase, the researchers are mainly concerned with safety and tolerability.
For instance: how does the body react to the drug? How big should the dosage be? Is there any side effects? And so on.
Wave will hopefully have answers to these questions in the first half of 2019.
Wave's treatment is taking a so-called Huntingtin-lowering approach. In other words: the level of Huntingtin protein is lowered in the brain. This protein is responsible for causing Huntington's disease.
With that being said, all humans have a certain level of Huntingtin in their brain – but only a small percentage has Huntington's disease.
In a human being there are always two copies of the Huntingtin gene which codes for the protein Huntingtin. In a person without Huntington's disease the two genes, or alleles, will both code for healthy Huntingtin, or wild-type Huntingtin.
In a person with HD, one of the alleles will code for mutant Huntingtin, while the other will code for healthy Huntingtin. This mutant Huntingtin causes Huntington's Disease.
So instead of shut-down the total level of Huntingtin, Wave only target the mutant Huntingtin – which is a totally unique and new approach. This precise targeting is the reason for the term 'precision medicine'.
The specific role of the healthy Huntingtin protein is not fully understood but it's most likely there for a reason. That's why researchers might believe the healthy, wild-type Huntingtin is important for the long-term care in people with HD.
There are many exciting approaches being tested in the Huntington research scene – and Wave's approach is definitely one of them.

Giant predatory worms once roamed the ancient seabed, scientists say
Through a careful analysis of fossilised seafloor layers dating back some 20 million years, scientists have reconstructed the lair of a giant underwater worm that would most probably have lain hidden in sediment before leaping up to ambush its prey.
The newly identified creature is likely to be an ancestor of the Eunice aphroditois or bobbit worm that exists today, say the researchers – these scary-looking modern day creatures can grow up to 3 metres (about 10 feet) in length, grabbing and trapping their food with powerful jaws and sharp mouthparts.
While the history of worms like these is already thought to stretch back hundreds of millions of years – perhaps into the early Palaeozoic – their soft body parts mean there's a largely incomplete fossil record for them, which makes this new find significant.
The team behind the new study recovered and processed 319 specimens to reconstruct a trace fossil (the trace of an animal, rather than the animal itself), an L-shaped burrow around 2-3 centimetres (0.8-1.2 inches) in diameter and up to 2 metres (about 6 and a half feet) in length.
The trace fossil, what is also known as an ichnospecies, has been named Pennichnus formosae; based on an analysis of the burrow's size and shape, as well as the signs of the disturbance left in the rock record, it looks as though it was home to an ancient worm that also jumped up from the seabed to capture prey.
"These morphological features of Pennichnus are consistent with the activities of an ambush predator, and hence, we hypothesise that giant polychaetes, such as bobbit worms, are the most probable trace makers," write the researchers in their paper.
One of those morphological features is the high concentration of iron up towards the top of the burrow. This suggests that the ancient worms used mucus to rebuild their lairs after attacking, as bacteria feeding on this mucus would have left traces of iron.
Other potential inhabitants of P. formosae, including shrimp and molluscs, were ruled out: shrimp tend to make more open and more complex burrows, while the burrow shape and structure doesn't match the patterns left by molluscs.
The findings plug a gap in our knowledge of how this type of creature evolved and developed over time – and just how dramatic life (and death) down at the bottom of the oceans has been for millions of years.
"To summarise, we hypothesise that about 20 million years ago, at the southeastern border of the Eurasian continent, ancient bobbit worms colonised the seafloor waiting in ambush for a passing meal," write the researchers.
"When prey came close to a worm, it exploded out from its burrow, grabbing and dragging the prey down into the sediment. Beneath the seafloor, the desperate prey foundered to escape, leading to further disturbance of the sediment around the burrow opening."
The research has been published in Scientific Reports.

MANAGEMENTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS

The Companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to companys policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the presentation and
detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit.

4. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls over financial reporting included operating effectiveness. Our audit of the internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Companys internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
MEANING OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
6. A companys internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
INHERENT LIMITATIONS OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
7. Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31 2017, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

Birmingham City announce XTEP Kit Deal
Birmingham City have today completed a club record signing off the pitch in an exclusive five year kit deal with Xtep International Holdings Ltd.
This sponsorship deal will see the sportswear manufacturer produce the club's playing and training kit from the start of the 2010/11 season.
Birmingham City FC's Vice Chairman, Peter Pannu added: "This is a fantastic deal for the football club.
"Not only is it a superb deal commercially, being the biggest sponsorship the club has acquired, but also on a brand level as it promotes the club internationally.
"Xtep are big players in the sportswear market in China and this partnership will expand the Birmingham City FC brand in the Far East."
Birmingham City FC will be added to a portfolio which includes Disney Sport (Shanghai) and the Koling brand.
The record deal will replace the club's three year sponsorship with UMBRO which will conclude at the end of the current season.
It is the club's intention that Blues supporters will have a direct input into the final selection of the design of the new playing kit.
Further details of the design and launch of the new 2010/11 kit will be announced in due course.
Who are ya????
I hate 特步 ?
Lou Gilmour
That is hilarious. From the exemplary quality of Umbro to.... Xtep. I imagine this'll be similar to what Jako did with the Heerenveen kits.
oh dear you have been warned
Alessio Pasquinelli
what surprice? How it's possible? :zzz
Mickey Mouse firm by the sounds of it
this sucks, brum's umbro kits this year were among the best in england
Xtep...? I had never heard of them before...
so West Ham are going with Macron and now this? Should be some variety in the Premier League for once.
It's the press release that makes my blood run cold....
Christopher D Silbernagel
While it isn't surprising considering the new owners, I don't like the move. Umbro have quality materials and some of the best designs out there. I love this season's kits for Birmingham City so there will be high expectations from their new kit manufacturer come this Summer. They better show us something amazing.
'Google' Xtep and see who owns them.
They are part of a huge portfolio of companies owned by the Carlyle Group.
Now 'Google' Carlyle Group and learn all about their arms/weapons/military interests.
You might also like to know that Carlyle Group board members include: the Bush family, Bin Laden family, John Major, Tony Blair, etc... Shocking.
I came from china, but I don like the brand Xtap either, it's not a popular brand in china, the only good sports brand in china is Li-Ning, the sponsors of Spain, Greece basketball team etc.

Hope Xtap could make some thing amazing```, good luck Birmingham city, wish R.Babel could join the team soon.

In china, there have lot talent young players but need to learn how to be a pro as euro players, why not sign some young players it'll bring some fresh blood to Birmingham!
Haha they get the chink bland kit! It's chink quality shit!


State Chairs. Shopping for bosses may appear difficult at first, but not in the event you go this route. Obtaining a nice executive chair for your boss is a great way to earn brownie points at your workplace and show your boss they're appreciated at the same time. Chairs from this style, like the 811-LX Avenger Chair by OFM, sometimes feature soft leather upholsteries to encase plush comfort. Want to know the best part is that these chairs very likely won't cost you any more than additional great boss gifts, for instance a gift certificate to a pretty restaurant for two, or a popular sporting event. Most great executive chairs offer amazing design and comfort for under $200. Task Chairs. Like computer chairs, task office chairs typically deceptively simple modern day designs. However , these are many of the most versatile chairs on the planet! Job chairs have been known to make a difference wonderfully to multiple business office applications, including desks, cubicles, conference rooms, and even home offices. They often feature a pleasant compact design perfect for a bedroom, schools, and libraries. Although they can be found boasting a number of upholsteries, often the most well-known are mesh task bar stools. If you're in search of a couch to meet any of these criteria, it will eventually please you to know that the very best feature of most task chair is the incredibly affordable price.
