More than 20 volunteers from Hinckley and Rugby Building Society have marked their 150th anniversary by sprucing up a community garden.
A team of staff spent three days transforming the garden at Barwell Community House, a centre which works with residents and young people, encouraging them to become involved in community projects and activities.
The garden has been dug up, mowed, swept, pruned, barked, weeded, re-sanded and painted leaving it neat, tidy and more manageable for both staff and users of the house.
Chief executive of the society Chris White said: "We wanted a major volunteering project for our staff to mark our 150th year and this challenge was a perfect opportunity to underline how committed the society and its staff are to our communities.
Militza Kirkham, community development worker at Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council, said: "All the groups at the community house will be able to enjoy the garden.
"The volunteers were the nicest people and so eager and willing to complete the challenge.
"They don't realise what this meant to me and to the residents that use the house.
The team challenge was organised by the business and community charity Leicestershire Cares.
The charity's community development manager Katharine Lighbown said: "The volunteers all worked exceptionally hard to transform the garden area into a welcoming oasis for the community.


This DVD highlights hazards relating to communal areas such as entertainment and service pavilions.
Divided into two main sections, the first covers general fire safety and is ideal for all staff as part of their induction training. The second section is a management programme that describes some of the regular checks that a holiday park owner or manager would be expected to conduct and explores typical fire evacuation procedures that should be in place.
The DVD includes an interactive quiz, which can be used to consolidate learning, or to stimulate group discussions.

AIS 140 Notification: A Timeline
Published on: June 27, 2019 November 8, 2019 Author: Rashi Sharma Comment: 0
AIS 140 has come as a revolutionary reform in the Indian transportation sector with the sole aim to have streamlined and efficient operations on the roads. As this mandate is gaining traction all over India, many states have seen immediate implementation of the same. And now, as more and more Indian states plan to incorporate this directive, here is a look at the AIS-140 notification timeline.
The very first time AIS 140 norms were introduced as the Rule 125H of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989. The introduction added the need of an emergency button in all vehicles which came under this guideline. It also stated the vehicles which did not come under this rule, and hence did not necessarily have the need for a device to be installed as follows:
Two wheelers;
E-rickshaw;
Any transport vehicle for which no permit is required under clause (35) of section 2 of the Act
This additional rule also stated that the checking of these devices was to be done in reference to the AIS 140 norms 2016 and all of its amendments, at the same time taking into consideration the BIS specifications, under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 1986.
This concludes the history of how AIS 140 norms were set into place. However, there are many factors as to WHY these were set into place. Some of the factors are listed below:
Features to track driver behaviour
Tracking of vehicle well-being and optimisation
Customizable alerts to ensure no road rage or over speeding

We've come a long way from 2016, and now, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, in these two years has learnt the importance of the implementation of AIS 140 notifications and devices due to their increasing safety features, which have helped in increasing the security of vehicles on Indian roads.
This specific date was the deadline given by the government for all public transport systems to ensure the successful implementation of AIS-140 notifications and devices in all passenger buses. However, till this date, the importance of AIS 140 devices and notifications was not recognized for private vehicles or vehicles other than passenger buses.
While most buses have implemented AIS 140, the people of our nation have realized the importance of AIS 140 notifications and devices in fleets too. Up till 2019, this importance was only realized for passenger buses which carry a larger number of passengers, and it's implementation was mostly limited to just these public transport buses.
But with the recognition and spread of AIS 140 notifications, the people wanted to know more about this system which could help them ensure the safety of their families as well as vehicles. But, the only information you could get on the web was the AIS 140 notification list itself, which was written in complicated language, confusing the common man.
Recognizing this importance, LocoNav has done pioneering work in bringing AIS 140 knowledge to the common man, by not only publishing various posts which educate the people of our country in simpler language and covering all important points at the same time, but also have allowed a connection between AIS 140 experts, so that you can get quality personal assistance and choose the best AIS 140 device on your market, which suits your budget and your needs perfectly!
Take a look at the official drafts and amendments that have been formulated and issued by the ARAI.

The document listed hundreds of projects envisioned around the USA and the world that are worth around $12.9 billion US.
The list includes almost an entire page of elementary, middle and high school projects, a working dog treatment facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and a fire and rescue station at Joint Base Charleston, S.C.
The list was first made public by Sen. The list also includes projects exempt from losing funds.
The Pentagon has not said which of the hundreds of projects on the list would be cut or delayed to build the wall.
When Trump declared an emergency on the southern border to take money from other parts of the government to pay for his wall that no one really wants or needs, he set in motion a showdown between the constitutional requirement that the Congress approve all spending by the United States and the executive branch (Trump), which in this case wants to spend as it pleases. Officials still need to determine which of those projects would support the use of the armed forces.
It would have been far better, I believe, if the Congress had stood up with veto-proof majorities to make that decision crystal clear.
In a memo attached to the list, the Pentagon said it has included the $3.6 billion in the fiscal year 2020 budget request to guarantee the construction of the affected projects.
The list became a heated topic during acting Defense Secretary Pat Shanahan's visit to Capitol Hill to discuss the proposed Pentagon budget.
Reed received the 20-page list Monday and subsequently released it on Twitter, warning that "military bases in your state could be negatively impacted". That did not happen.
But critics noted that McSally joined most other Republicans in the House and Senate by refusing to vote against Trump's declaration of an emergency after Congress denied him the funding he wanted for a border wall. Democrats expressed hope that by knowing which local projects could be targeted, lawmakers would be likelier to override Trump's veto of a measure aimed at preventing the cuts.
Democratic Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi said her chamber would vote on March 26 to override the veto. Besides those that nearly always vote against the president (I am not sure how they call themselves Republicans) there were those that voted with the left on principle, saying the Congress should have funded the barrier and not forced the president to take the emergency declaration route.
"Those Republican Senators who voted in favor of Strong Border Security (and the Wall) are being uniformly praised as they return to their States". That may help shore up his political base, but it could come at the expense of our military bases and the men and women of our armed forces who rely on them.
Evan Hollander, a spokesperson for Democratic Rep. Nita Lowey, chair of the House Appropriations Committee, also reacted angrily stating: "Today's submission is just a list that tells Congress what projects it already approved, and is nothing more than another stall tactic created to delay the political consequences of President Trump's emergency declaration".
On CBS' "Face The Nation" program Sunday, Sen.
A June 2015 survey by Mercer's 21st Cost of Living also ranked Nairobi 104 out of 207, making it one of the most expensive cities. The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) has named Karachi as 6th cheapest city of the world, ARY News reported on Wednesday.

'Suits' Season 8, Episode 3 – "Promises, Promises" | TV Recap
Suits season 8 episode 3 "Promises, Promises" has all the makings of an impactful story but in reality, it serves as a non-episode.
If you take your mind back to last week, Suits played the pecking order game, pitting each character against each other to try and make a power play in the firm. Suits season 8 episode 3 does the absolute opposite, with the main players making life-changing assurances to their proteges. "Promises, Promises" is an episode that had all the makings to be a blockbuster but unfortunately, it made some unusual plot turns that I am sure will not be long-lasting.
Harvey Specter is the main error of Suits season 8 episode 3. There is a rather unusual scene in the men's bathroom where he ends up in a conversation with a cleaner, who is upset because the building's landlord has not paid for her overtime. Harvey's new moral compass feels oddly wild as someone who always puts the firm first. He almost appeared possessed, deciding to pick a fight with Landlord David Fox over the contract. Now, if you do not remember Mr Fox from season 7, he is the embodiment of a savvy prick, that feels aroused by owning top business buildings. For the first time ever, you experience Harvey tasting the reality of rich versus poor, a theme I never thought would be mounted onto the macho lawyer.
The absence of romance is dealt with in "Promises, Promises". Well, a slight flame is seen. Brian decides to cover Katrina's back, who has been promised senior partner by Louis Litt, which does not seem probable at present. The two entertained a conversation about "being best friends", which was odd. The entire Katrina and Brian dynamic is a sure way for Suits to replace the void of Mike and Rachel, who, fortunately, are not missed at all. Suits at this stage are not crying for a romance because it needs its punch back, but let's hope Brian and Katrina offer more than soppy conversations about friendship. I am sure some drama will come of this, especially with Louis Litt being their boss.
Suits season 8 episode 3 continues the story of Alex attempting to land a big client. There is an issue here. Since Samantha has entered the fold and is essentially Harvey's new partner to tackle the hard cases with, Alex has skirted the fray and barely had any impact on the narrative. The character is trying to impress Robert Zane but the problem is – no one cares. And the reason why is because he is so far removed from what everybody else is doing that he does not fit into the firm. Samantha, on the other hand, is adding fire to scenes, challenging anyone who crosses her path and making Louis sexually nervous, which can only be a good thing.
"Promises, Promises" builds the anticipation that all the characters are about to come to blows. All you really learn is that Harvey misses Mike, so compensates by trying to look after disadvantaged people. Suits season 8 episode 3 is, unfortunately, a non-episode, with nothing of importance happening.


I enjoyed the heat on Sunday and Monday and was very grateful that it was cooler on Wednesday when Jan and I did our stint at the warehouse in Oamaru to raise funds for the penguins by selling calendars. We id not sell many calendars, but it was a good PR exercise to be seen in the community.
Stewart was able to join us on the monitoring rounds on Thursday and it was great to catch up. It is now time to start regular beach searches for stranded penguins as Crested penguins will be beginning to moult from now on.
We had one chick die this week. It was slow to grow and stopped growing altogether. The rest are developing beautifully.
The statistics are; from 45 nests we had 71 chicks hatch. Some birds only laid one egg and some eggs were not viable. 15 of the chicks died – 4 at the Moeraki colony and 11 here. We have 56 chicks left. Of these 40 were treated for diphtheria and 16 did not get symptoms so were not treated. Our focus now is to get these chicks to fledging!
Yay – November is over, diphtheria is under control and the chicks are growing well. With all the stress, I had a blob day on Monday and by the time I paid $256 for a regular check up at the dentists on Tuesday, I realised that I should be a little more grateful.
Jan came on Wednesday and did the rounds with me – she is a treasure, selling calendars and helping in any way she can. I installed the new blinds and am very pleased with them. Yes, I did use the chainsaw to help with the installation in the bedroom, but the installation in the lounge went without a problem! On Thursday I went to the Moeraki Tavern for the Moeraki ladies annual Christmas get together – how quickly a year goes by.
Hiltrun joined me for Friday's round and what a treat – no dead chicks but lots of cute ones!
The chicks are starting to venture outside the nest box and explore their world. It can be very disconcerting to come to a nest box to check it and it is empty!
Elaine and Pauleen came out for a visit after they had been helping Santa at the Hampden market. Elaine said that they needed the fire engine because they were so hot! Sales of the calendars have been a little slow – order now for Christmas gifts that help save penguins.

Everyone in my family loves bikes. Well..almost everyone. I'm not a big fan. I wanted to create a special layout with bikes photos, but I wanted it to be really special not just with a bicycle sticker or cutout.
I decided to make a wheel layout, a layout that would turn like a wheel of a bicycle. This is a DT layout for My Punch's Kit of the Month Club. It is made of two papers and a brad. I cut a window in the round scalloped paper and attached it with a brad to the center of the background paper. Then I adhered the photos to the paper. First the bottom photo, then I turned the wheel and added the second photo. I added embellishments and a title to finish the layout.
BTY I didn't have any bicycle sticker or cutout in the kit, so I ended up drawing it myself!
It is beautiful. Consider having the pictures on a paper underneath. Have that piece turn. The under piece would need a tab to help turn it. Then both pictures would be up right.

Another new race for Challenge Family: Challenge Salinas in Ecuador
Challenge Salinas, Ecuador
News, Triathlon
Tim Moria
After two newly announced races in southern France and a new race in Istanbul, Turkey, Challenge Family just announced another new race on the calendar: Challenge Salinas. The tropical beaches of Ecuador are the location of Challenge Family's newest race, set to take place on 10 December 2023.
Salinas is on the western-most tip of Ecuador and known for some of the best beaches in the country and the 113km middle distance course will take in the best of the region's ocean front while also making the most of the lively atmosphere of the popular resort town.
"Ecuador is a stunning country to visit, ranging from the Amazon jungle in the east to the Andean highlands to the iconic beaches on the west coast, where Challenge Salinas will take place," said Jort Vlam, Challenge Family CEO. "Pedro Vera Rivera and his team have a significant amount of experience delivering quality events in the region and we are very much looking forward to working with them and the Salinas community to bring world-class triathlon to this beautiful part of the world. We know triathletes will not only enjoy racing here but also exploring this rich and diverse country."
"Challenge Salinas is a world-class event that requires only the best in event organisation," said Challenge Salinas race director Pedro Vera Rivera. "We guarantee a safe and fair race and we are certain it will be a great experience that will quickly make it onto the bucket list of triathletes from throughout the Americas and further afield as we welcome them to the beautiful city of Salinas."
The Challenge Salinas 1.9km swim will be in a sheltered bay without waves or sea current promising some fast times. Heading out onto the 90km bike, athletes will go to the far end of the Santa Elena peninsular, an area protected by the Ministry of Environment and where the training schools of the three Armed Forces of Ecuador are also located. 40% of the course is next to the Pacific Ocean and 60% will be through the forest, crossing through Ancón, an area with more than 100 years of history having drilled the first oil well in the country and where the finest oil in the world is extracted. The half marathon will head through the lively city streets between the two boardwalks of Salinas.

Just look at that dome! That glorious, glorious dome!
Only three of the wave's seven figures are actually based on the film — the aformentioned Mysterio, and two Spider-Man figures based on the new outfits Peter wears in the film: the all-black stealth suit, and the darker-toned new take on his Homecoming costume. Getting those figures, as well as ones based on the comic book versions of Hydro-Man, Scorpion, Spider-Woman, and Doppleganger Spider-Man will net you all the molten, golden, and very mushy looking parts needed to build a plus-sized Molten Man figure.
Medicom MAFEX Shazam Movie Figure
DC Comics has managed to turn things around with recent movie adaptions of its most iconic comic book properties. Wonder Woman led the way, followed by Aquaman, and now Shazam!, which doesn't take itself as seriously as all those Superman and Batman flicks did.
Part of the credit has to go to Zachary Levi's playful performance, which Medicom manages to almost perfectly nail with its recently revealed MAFEX figure. Officially available in February of 2020, the figure includes fun accessories like a smartphone, a soda can, and three swappable heads with varying expressions.
Star Ace Toys Batman Ninja Sixth-Scale Figures
Batman Ninja is still one of the wildest cinematic interpretations of Batman we've gotten in a good long while — and what better way to celebrate the ridiculously immaculte ninja gear Batman dons in this movie than with Star Ace's new 1:12 scale recreation? It even manages to capture the matte look of the CG animation from the film!
Two versions are up for grabs: the "War Version" Batman first wears riding into battle against the time-travelling Joker and his cronies when he lands in Sengoku Japan, and then the "Ninja Version" of the movie's title, the stripped-down take after he sheds much of his war armour and really starts fighting the clown prince of crime properly.
The War Version is essentially both looks in one, as you can modify the armour of it to create the Ninja look — and it comes with a couple of extra hands and swords, so it'll set you back another $30 on top of the $240 asking price of the Ninja version if you want it. [h/t Toyark]
ThreeZero Game of Thrones Joffrey Baratheon Sixth-Scale Figure
Do you remember the last time you cheered a TV character's demise? There's a good chance it was while watching Game of Thrones, and involved the gruesome final exit of the easy-to-loathe King Joffrey Baratheon.
If for some reason you feel the need to have Joffrey's icy, sociopathic stare glaring at you from a corner of your desk, ThreeZero has teased its upcoming sixth-scale Joffrey Baratheon figure. There's no pricing or availability details just yet, but ThreeZero has confirmed that unfortunately the Iron Throne isn't an included accessory.
NECA Golden Girls Action Figures
Marvel was so paranoid about Avengers: Endgame spoilers leaking that its line up of action figures and toys for the film was disappointing at best. At this point we're far more excited for NECA's eight-inch Golden Girls figures, which the company teased again with a look at the collection's final packaging.
Blanche, Dorothy, Sophia, and Rose were first officially revealed at last year's San Diego Comic-Con, but are expected to finally go on sale in June.
Movie Realisation First Order Ashigaru Stormtrooper
Bandai's "Movie Realisation" line of Samurai-style Star Wars figures has been leaning more and more into the realm of the sequel movies, since we've already gotten takes on original trilogy classics like Vader, Boba Fett, and the Stormtrooper (in so many versions!). Now that Bandai's already given us Captain Phasma and Kylo Ren, it's time for their ranks to be beefed up with an army builder of their own.
The First Order Ashigaru Stormtrooper is, just like the usual First Order Stormtrooper, very similar to the Imperial version — it's only really in the mask and the slightly different blaster that you can tell the difference. Still, it's enough of one for Bandai to ask for roughly $85 when it hits shelves in Japan this September. [Toyark]
Atari Pong Mini Arcade with Paddle Controls
The game that launched today's lucrative video game industry returns in yet another re-packaged portable recreation. You can find an iteration of Pong available for nearly every single gaming device ever released, but to truly play the game properly, you need a pair of spinning paddles.
The Blaze Atari Pong Mini Arcade comes with five games in total, but it's Pong itself you'll want to focus on, and with two paddle controllers you'll be able to challenge a friend — as long as you don't mind crowding around a 8cm screen.
It will be available in the UK come September for about $30, and PQube is currently looking to bring it other international markets soon.
Origin Artwork's 'The Trench'
Commemorate one of the most climactic moments in film history with this laser-cut wooden recreation of one of the Death Star's thousands of miles of surface trenches. The level of detail is staggering, although it begs for a miniature wooden version of Luke's X-wing being chased by Vader in his TIE Fighter.
At 41cm long, the smallest version of this piece can be hung on your wall as a piece of art for $150. But there's a grandiose, 102cm option too that can be converted into a coffee table with the addition of a glass top and some legs. That's $600 well spent.
Gourmandise Pokémon Pikachu and Eevee Wireless Chargers
If you're going to turn a Pokémon character into a wireless smartphone charger, you don't really have a choice of who's going to get the nod. The spark-throwing Pikachu is the obvious pick, but there's a good argument for Gourmandise choosing Eevee as well, who can be evolved into the thunderbolt-dropping Jolteon.
For $54 you don't get much in terms of features on these wireless charging docks, but anyone pre-ordering either version almost certainly doesn't care about that.


What's special about your career trajectory or background?
What do you deliver that others can't?
Employers are eager to identify leaders who can articulate the reasons they add value –expecting that these employees will continue to differentiate the business. Metrics-driven, power-packed language makes it easy for them to see why hiring you will pay dividends.
What would have happened if I weren't here?
How did my work affect the bottom line – or the performance of my division, team, etc.?
What are the reasons others believe in me?
How has my approach transformed the culture at work?

It might not be wise to invest if you've got debt.
You should also remember that the tax code includes a number of provisions that promote investment, and those can boost the value of investing. In particular, contributions to a 401k or traditional IRA are made with before-tax income, meaning that you can invest much more of that money than you would have with your after-tax income that would be used to pay down debt.
That's especially true when you have an employer who matches your 401k contributions. If your employer matches, you're essentially getting a chance to not just avoid paying taxes on that income, but you're doubling its value the moment you invest — before it's even started to accrue returns.
Another important factor to consider is what type of investments you can make. In some very specific cases, you might have access to an investment opportunity that brings with it huge potential returns that could tip the scale. Maybe a specific local real estate investment you're particularly familiar with or a start-up company run by a family member where you can get in on the ground floor.
Putting off paying down your credit card balance to try your hand at picking some winning stocks is a (really) bad idea, but failing to make regular 401k contributions in an effort to pay off your fixed-rate mortgage a couple of years early is probably going to cost you in the long run — especially if you're missing out on matching funds from your employer by doing so.

Ladies Lunch: Marie Claire Commemorates 50th Anniversary of Equal Pay Act
By Kara Bloomgarden-Smoke • 06/11/13 6:58pm
Katie Couric. (Photo credit: Kevin Mazur, Getty Images).
On a rainy Monday, Marie Claire threw a luncheon at Marea, the chic Columbus Circle seafood spot, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the passage of the Equal Pay Act. And how better to acknowledge the state of working women (we hear they are leaning in of late) than by eating lobster salad and listening to highly accomplished women recount their early successes?
Speaking at the lunch were Tory Burch, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Sarah Jessica Parker and Katie Couric—who were featured in a spread in this month's magazine along with Serena Williams, who was expected to attend but was stuck in Paris doing publicity after winning the French Open.
Anne Fulenwider, who returned to Marie Claire to replace Joanna Coles as editor in chief last September, played emcee for the afternoon.
"Now that you have your own daytime show, Katie, the only time slot left for you to conquer is late night," Ms. Fulenwider said when introducing Ms. Couric. "So, if there's anything you'd like to announce, we're all ears."
Over the weekend, The New York Post's Page Six ran an item claiming that the future was hazy for a third season of Katie, Ms. Couric's ABC daytime show. Perhaps, the Post speculated, Ms. Couric might follow her former executive producer Jeff Zucker to CNN.
But no announcement was forthcoming. "Is there anything better than a room full of fantastic women? I say absolutely not, right?" Ms. Couric said. "I love the smell of estrogen in the morning, or in the afternoon."
Ms. Couric congratulated Ms. Fulenwider on helming Hearst's thinking-woman's mag.
"We have a lot of story meetings on the show, and inevitably, when someone pulls out an article, it is from Marie Claire," Ms. Couric said.
Despite being the first woman to anchor the evening news solo, Ms. Couric said that she is held to different standards than her male counterparts. "I always joke that I got into television news at a time when 'harass' was two words instead of one." Ms. Couric waited as the crowd worked out the joke.
"When I became the first female anchor of the CBS Evening News, people talked more about the fact that I was wearing a white jacket after Labor Day," she said. "So it's clear that women continue to be held to a higher standard in many industries, not simply mine."

That rarest of rare things…
Perry de Havilland (London) · North American affairs · Self defence & Security
Which is to say, a politician I respect. Now I do not always see eye to eye with Ron Paul, the libertarian Republican representative for Texas, when it comes to dealing with tyrants and other nastiness outside the USA, but I do respect him nevertheless and given my views on politicians as a breed, that is saying something. When he is correct, oh my, is he correct:
Mr. Speaker, I rise to introduce the "Right to Keep and Bear Arms Act." This legislation prohibits US taxpayer dollars from being used to support or promote any United Nations actions that could infringe on the Second Amendment. The Right to Keep and Bear Arms Act also expresses the sense of Congress that proposals to tax, or otherwise limit, the right to keep and bear arms are "reprehensible and deserving of condemnation".
Secretary Annan is not the only globalist calling for international controls on firearms. For example, some world leaders, including French President Jacques Chirac, have called for a global tax on firearms. Meanwhile, the UN Security Council's "Report of the Group of Governmental Experts on Small Arms" calls for a comprehensive program of worldwide gun control and praises the restrictive gun polices of Red China and France!
Mr. Speaker, global gun control is a recipe for global tyranny and a threat to the safety of all law-abiding persons. I therefore hope all my colleagues will help protect the fundamental human right to keep and bear arms by cosponsoring the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Act.
Damn, that is almost enough to turn me into a Republican! Now if that party could just do something about its mercantilist anti-market trade policies, repressive sexual policies in some states and nasty tendency to vastly increase the size and scope of state whilst claiming to be the party of small government…

Agreed. Representative Ron Paul is a very principled man, despite the fact that I disagree with him on a number of issues. He used to belong to the Libertarian Party of the US. Another thing people might be interested in knowing is that he regularly introduces resolutions to withdraw the US from the UN.
Ron Paul lost my respect when he claimed in his speech in congress that "there is no proof" that Saddam is a threat, and therefore voted against the resolution authorizing the President to deal with Iraq.
Now, I understand the libertarian opposition to the use of American lives and American txapayer's dollars to police the world. Americans should not be forced by their government to make big, altruistic sacrifices to enhance other people's safety.
So the question should have been: was Saddam enough of a threat for the US to justify the war ? On this question different people may evaluate differently the known facts.
But this was not Ron Paul's position: he flatly denied there was any problem… "no proof" was his moto. No proof that Saddam had WMD, no proof he had terrorist connections or sympathies, no proof he had started two wars of aggresion, no proof he murdered his citizens wholesale, no proof he hated the US.
Here we had an extreme example of an ideological position that completely blinded his perception of facts. I cannot respect that.
I know he takes a principled and consitent stand for libertarian principles, but mostly his gestures and speeches have no practical consequences, as he is far out from any working consensus in congress, that is – he is ineffective, though I would rather have ineffective libertarians than effective statists.

Welcome to Neoconservative Samizdata, Perry. 🙂
Sorry, that should be "Israel" above.
Damn, wrong thread (the 'Israel' comment).
The traditional libertarian position (obviously not shared on Samizdata) is that barring a direct attack against the US, use of force is inappropriate. You can see this position reflected by the likes of Murray Rothbard during the Cold War. I happen to think that is nothing more than glorified ostrich mentality. Even so, Ron Paul should be given credit for consistency. Furthermore, I think we should look at his overall record instead of a few isolated incidents and his overall record is one of principled libertarianism, especially on fiscal matters. This is a man who is not afraid to cross the GOP when it lurches toward statism. That takes some courage.
Ron Paul was a GOP legislator, then later ran for US President as a Libertarian, and eventually went back to the House as a GOP congressman (because it was apparently easier to get onto the ballot as Republican than Libertarian). He is not typical of the GOP, and in fact the party poobahs have frequently tried to take him down during various primary elections. I believe he is still a dues-paying member of the Libertarian Party, but I may be wrong about that. Anyway, if people can say that Bill Clinton was the "first black president," then Libertarians can certainly say that Ron Paul was the "first Libertarian congressman."
What kind of threat was Saddam Hussein? Every day, we see just how feeble and toothless his regime was, except when it came to beating up on his own people.
The significance of Ron Paul's statement about there not being any proof of Saddam-as-threat-to-US is great. In the US, the congress is given the sole power to declare war, and the President to prosecute the wars that congress declares. The declaration of war requires as much debate and consideration as time and circumstances permit. As a congressman, a representative of the people from whom the US government draws its power, Paul had both the right and responsibility to examine the proof of the Administration's justifications for war. That he found such proof wanting and/or absent, when there was PLENTY OF TIME for the Administration to make the airtight case it claimed to be able to make, speaks volumes about the illegitimacy of the Iraq war, and the disingenuousness of its proponents.
One thing that true libertarians are not is imperialists. Paul believes in a strong national defense, but not in imperialism. More every day, we see that the proponents of the Iraq war serve the interests of imperialists, whether or not they have been consciously aware of doing so. Don't be blinded by desires for national glory, or delusions that our military might can or should bring freedom and democracy to foreign lands as a humanitarian obligation. These are emotional appeals that people with earthier motives use to get the ill-informed to go along with them. The promised outcome never materializes, but once the Rubicon is crossed, we can never go back. Don't let yourself be used as a dupe, as so many in Congress did. Think for yourself and come to your own conclusions, as Ron Paul did. You may or may not agree with Paul, but at least you will have honest convictions, and the courage of them.
Yes, we have. That's why all of us on the editorial staff support this particular effort (in Iraq).
And as a by the way… I wrote Ron Paul's Space Policy back in for the 1988 campaign. I mostly worked with his campaign manager on it, only met Ron a couple times during the season.
b-psycho
His point on Iraq is correct IMO. While there WAS evidence that saddam openly violated the terms of the ceasefire & ignored UN sanctions, the first & foremost concern is the security of the united states itself. I saw no proof that US security was threatened by Iraq.
Am I the only one that finds it ironic that the same people that said (correctly) that the UN was irrelevant essentially acted to enforce their own rule against their will?
The Republicans have not won gold stars for small government, but I have to defend my imperfect friends
RE: the "…nasty tendency to vastly increase the size and scope of state…" Look at what their opposition would do. Much of the government expansion they propose is forced by the Democrats, and a GOP win is sometimes to make a new program smaller.
I'd like government reduction but there is currently NO constituency for it that can succeed electorally.
As a conservative and a libertarian Paul is not infallible and as far as Iraq was concerned just flat out wrong. That said, however, on "The Right to Keep and Bear Arms Act," I say, oh hell yeah.
I sure hope you like verbal abuse. 🙂 🙂
Jonathan Gewirtz
Holding Ron Paul out as a libertarian avatar is a kind of straw-man argument. Lots of people who reasonably call themselves libertarians disagree with his statements re Iraq. And of course it's possible to be wrong about one topic and right about others. He seems to be generally decent and thoughtful, remarkably so for a politician, and his comments about RKBA, civil liberties and other topics are consistently good, so I can live with his imperfections. Would that Congress had a couple of hundred more like him.
Cynical people are so easy to manipulate. PdH proclaims his cynicism by declaring Ron Paul to be one of the few politicians he respects, and proceeds to let Paul lead him around by the nose.
Read Rep. Paul's statement. It looks like yet another gratuitous Congressional restriction on the expenditure of American tax dollars to further American interests — there already dozens of these — yet what it actually proposes is a ban on US funding of UN actions that could infringe on the Second Amendment. Since the Second Amendment is not law outside the United States the number of conceivable UN actions fitting this description is, well, small, as in zero. A "sense of Congress" resolution, as well, in American legislation is one without legal force.
All Ron Paul is doing with this is throwing a bouquet to his pro-gun, anti-UN Texas constituents, and secondarily to national gun organizations like the National Rifle Association. His bill would literally not do anything. I'll leave it to others to judge whether this meaningless gesture would be enough to make Rep. Paul a libertarian hero if he weren't already.
Zathras: until one of Ron's bills to get us out of it passes, we're in the UN. Any rule restricting firearms ownership would be applied (or at least attempted to be applied) to the US as well. And even if not successful, US tax dollars going towards fighting a concept we are bound to uphold is a ripoff. It's actually worse than tax dollars funding abortion clinics abroad, in the way that it offends what is pretty much a universal belief rather than a personal one.
Zathras: it is far from meaningless… anything which weakens the UN by bringing it into disrepute in the USA and thus brings the USA a day closer to withdrawing from it, is a good thing. USA leaving would lead to the UN's effective collapse economically and the end of a major force for evil in the world. It is indeed a 'gesture' but it is far from being a meaningless one.
Dale Amon: "I believe he [Ron Paul] is still a dues-paying member of the Libertarian Party, but I may be wrong about that."
Fascinating, if true. British party discipline is incomparably fierce. Joining another one is an infallible way of getting thrown out of a political party in this country. Usually even suggesting voters support other than your own party will be enough–whatever the occasion–to finish a career. Tactical voting is never openly encouraged.

Ron Paul is a isolationist libertarian. Any deep thinker should realize that the era of islotaion ended the day Sputnik was launched in 1957. An isolationist of any poltical persuassion is a dinosaur. Ron Paul IS a political dinosaur.
The future lies in expanding political ideology and power globally. Whether you are on the left or right. Libertarian or socialist. The only way isolationism can come back to relevancy is for the collapse of technological civilization.
David R Beatty
Glad to see you back, Perry, I've not seen you post in awhile. You get a big "Ditto" from me regarding this bill from Ron Paul. Anything that flips the proverbial "bird" at the U.N. is a "good thing"!
EO: by that logic, we're all dinosaurs anyway. Most people are too docile & complacent to care a lick about freedom, they just want reality TV, nachos, & a cushion for every single possible risk they can name.
EO, there's isolationalism and isolationalism. I oppose imperialism but support decreased trade and imigration barriers.
The hope would be to have a mutually supportive international consensus rather than bring peace using "The Tao of the Bloody Nose"
You have to read Ron Paul's speech on Iraq to grasp the sillyness of it. He is not an isolationist libertarian, he is a willfully ignorant one. Reading his speech you are left with the feeling he thinks Saddam is an innocent pup, bullied by the criminal imperiaslist neocons, for no good reason.
Besides – he is a regular politician – a lot of talk, a lot of attempts to grab attention. True, his retoric is libertarian, not the usual empty platitudes, still I would like to judge a congressman not only by the purity of his retoric, but by some tangible aceivements.
Consensus is nice to have, but when others use on you "The Tao of the Bloody Nose" … well what do you do ? Preach some more consensus ?

What a lot of non sequitur in this thread.

"Any deep thinker should realize that the era of islotaion ended the day Sputnik was launched in 1957. An isolationist of any poltical persuassion is a dinosaur."
John Moore (Useful Fools)
'Cause it don't work, regardless of whatever your personal ideology says.
Why is isolationism a "political dinosaur"? Because it is a utopian ideology and not a reality based ideology. Isolationism isn't possible in the space age. Libertarianism has to adopt to reality and not stick to an ideal that technology has rendered obselete. All "isms" that don't adapt became irrelevant over time. If the US adopts a founding fathers version of isolationism, the nation will not exist in 50 to 100 years. It would be overwhelmed by nations who disregarded isolationism.
The US and it's allies should engage the world as evangelists of 21st century style freedoms of capitalism, property rights and the high technology way of life. If that breaks the libertarian tenet of live and let live, so be it. The world is in a battle for which ideal and system will dominate as it always has been. If Libertarians are serious about their ideology (freedom and property rights) they have to drop the idea of utopian isolation or they may lose freedom and property rights.
Ron Paul is an isolationist. I have been an observer of his career and writings for many years. The reason he is Republican is to get elected.
John Moore writes – "'Cause it don't work, regardless of whatever your personal ideology says."
Could you give some real world examples proving that it doesn't work, thanks.
Evolved One writes – "If the US adopts a founding fathers version of isolationism, the nation will not exist in 50 to 100 years. It would be overwhelmed by nations who disregarded isolationism."
Can you explain how the most powerful military in the history of the world, armed with enough nukes to vaporise human life as we know it, will be overwhelmed by other nations, thank you.
Also could you explain why you don't think intervenionist foreign policy will provoke WMD retaliation at some point in the future.
