text: Human Rights Observatory Advances Against Islamic State Not Enough, Displaced Iraqis Say Kurdish fighters backed by U.S.-led airstrikes have blunted a six-month advance in northern Iraq by Islamic State militants and their supporters. Yet few of the estimated 1 million northern Iraqis who fled the fighting see any hope of returning home soon. Three thousand of these displaced people are now at the Baharke camp near the Iraqi city of Irbil. Half the residents are under age 17. As fighters of the IS — known locally as Daesh — advanced, their reputation for brutality preceded...Read complete article© Voice of America - Tuesday, February 3rd 2015

This is SO not an 8 hour baby blanket! By the time I finished I had around 25 hours in it and it only measures 28" X 32". Every time I make one of these I swear I'll never make another. I hate the twisting yarn in using two strands together. But, they sure do make nice gifts.
This particular one was made with Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn yarn. I had ordered Berroco yarn but it took 3 weeks to come. Lil baby was already here so I had to get started.
I hope that all of my friends and family that receive handmade gifts cherish the love that goes into each one. Whether it be a handmade card or a knitted or crocheted treasure.
Thanks for looking!

Who in Toungoo knows what a tourist is?
Toungoo Travel Blog› entry 5 of 27 › view all entries
Our day starts at 5.30 am, because we want to be ready when the monks come to the hotel begging for food and money. Every day at six o'clock sharp they come by. And when I say sharp I méan sharp, because when we come walking out of the hotel at two minutes past six, they are already going around the corner into the main street of Bago, disappearing into the darkness. We follow them for a little while and even catch up, but they do not slow down for a second, and we give up when they walk onto the bridge that crosses the river. They're walking very fast, I recon that's because it's still rather chilly and the monks are walking on bare feet. Unfortunately for the monks the teachings of the Buddha forbid begging with shoes on.
When the monks have gone into the twilight we go back to the hotel where breakfast is served at seven.
When we take our luggage outside so the driver and his helper can put them in the bus, we see some very young begging monks and an old lady who wouldn't mind to get some money as well.
We are on our way for about half an hour when we encounter some kind of a procession. They seem to be pilgrims, taking two statues to Bago. They bring along loud music, a boy performing something that's somewhere between a dance and a certain kind of martial arts, and a beautifully decorated elephant. All the way in the back drives a truck filled with speakers, providing the necessary volume. In between are men in white and nicely dressed up ladies.
It is still before nine when we get to a school, where some members of our party want to donate goods which they have brought from Holland especially for this purpose.
At 9.45 am we pause for coffee in a small café next to the local barber. The café isn't much, but the sweet and milky instant-all-in-one coffee is very much to my liking (although in Holland I always drink my coffee black without sugar). Someone says that the toilet in the back yard is worth a look and I go and check it out. It indeed is quite special, a small wooden shed with a hole in the floor, very much like the toilets on farms in Europe in the beginning of the 20th century. And it isn't too clean either... When I'm back in the front of the café again, a boy arrives on a bicycle that has a very special feature: fully automated rim cleaners.
At noon we visit an orphanage run by the Salvation Army where our do-gooders can get rid of their gifts after all. We can have a look inside, but apart from some beds in the dorm there's not much to see. The children of course are very friendly and the people who run the place are making us feel more than welcome. We stay for about fifteen minutes and then we move on to the restaurant where we have lunch. It's a Chinese restaurant, where only Chinese people work and we are welcomed with Chinese hospitality. We are given a menu and after a while the waitress comes by, asking "What you want?" as short as possible. When the food is ready it is slammed on the table, accompanied by smile.
We drive for another hour after lunch, before getting to Toungoo. It's a dusty place and the Amazing Hotel, where we will be spending the night, is located on a dirt road, some fifty metres off the main road.
On the other side of the bridge is a monatery from which mantras sound, enhancing the authentic atmosphere of the moment. Here people look at us very seriously (very different than on the other side of the bridge), but when we give them a smile and their faces break open, showing an ear-to-ear smile. Others start shouting at us from bicycles, mopeds or from shops in the distance, but their English doesn't reach any further than "Where you from?".
Some small stalls are selling the beetle nut that people chew here. Of course it would be fun for them to sell one to me (and they try every time we walk by), but I've heard that it tastes very bitter and I don't feel like have dark red teeth as well, so I refuse politely.
When we cross the bridge again two men are rowing a boat on the river, doing something that looks like fishing or setting out nets, but we can't quite figure it out.
We take a well needed shower and after that we have dinner with Ton, Judith and Dolores. We hit the sack at 10.30 pm.

I'm noticing more and more a theme in postwar (especially American) cinema concerning pacifists turning towards violence. A character will introduce him- or herself as someone unable and morally opposed to weapons in general or harming another human being specifically, only to be put in a situation in which violence is presented as the only way out. We've covered (at least) two such films on this very website – Shane and Violent Saturday – and, having just seen it, I can add the considerably odd Frank Sinatra vehicle Suddenly to this list.
It's not hard to see why American filmmakers and moviegoers would be interested in this subject at this time. Many of them had recently returned from war, where they did awful things for a greater good; those who didn't go to war themselves certainly knew somebody who had. On a much larger scale, the use of the atomic bomb on Japan was a national decision Americans were left to wrestle with. Most probably considered themselves to be peaceful people; certainly not killers at any rate. These films served to explore the issue, while safely reasserting that violence, sometimes, really is the only answer.
Fixed Bayonets! was Samuel Fuller's fourth film, his first for a studio after a string of independents (collected, handsomely, in an Eclipse set from Criterion). The whole thing was shot in a studio, despite taking place in the mountains during the still-raging Korean War. These early Korean War features are caught in unusual terrain, still carrying over a lot of the swelling pride of combat in films made around World War II, but taking a more cutting, cynical view of their larger purpose.
The film deals with a small platoon left to guard a recently-abandoned U.S. post, and their efforts to convince the enemy that the position is still fully staffed so as to give the larger army something of a lead as they ship out. It's the definition of a bad job. Our point of entry is through Corporal Denno (Richard Basehart), an Academy dropout relegated to a glorified grunt after his training revealed a weakness for committing men to die. But he's in something of a position of authority here, one that is rising incrementally as his superiors are gradually killed off. He's managed not to kill anybody so far, and would like to coast through the rest of his tour without doing too much harm, one way or the other.
Fuller, who also wrote the screenplay (adapting John Brophy's novel), does a nice job sketching out the rest of the platoon. Most rarely rise above caricature, but they leave a real impression, and Fuller's own experience in the army gives him great insights into how men pass the time. There's a lot of business about the value of clean socks. Mostly, the men tell jokes and try to create an atmosphere that might distance them emotionally from the near-certainty of death. When they are forced to buckle down and confront it – most notably in an unbelievably-tense scene involving landmines – their fear is palpable. More than almost any other filmmaker, Fuller understood that bravery in wartime was not necessarily about "bucking up" or "being a man" but just having no other option but to do some impossible task, simply because you're there and doing it.
I have not been a big fan of Fox's HD transfers of their library titles – on this site, we've looked at Pickup on South Street, Wild River, Forty Guns, A Letter to Three Wives, and more. They run the gamut between "serviceable" and "actively bad." I was especially pleased, then, that Fixed Bayonets! looks as good as it does on this new (Region B locked) Masters of Cinema Blu-ray. Fox's usual virtues – contrast and clarity – are once again superbly handled, but with more natural variation, accounting for different lenses, lighting, and all the many (some unintentional) products of film production in the early 1950s. Grain provides a sturdy texture, and while depth is only going to go so far in a studio-set film, you get a real sense of space here, especially be the time the platoon holes up in a mountainside, or in representing the distance between a man and his target when surrounded by mines. This package also includes a DVD edition of the film, should you be so inclined.
The disc comes with an excellent commentary track by Adrian Martin, who discusses the film mostly in the context of Fuller's biography and worldview (a quite fitting approach), while folding in some research material on the production environment at Fox at the time. The track is nicely supported by a booklet with an essay by Glenn Kenny and an excerpt of Fuller's autobiography The Third Face, which has been so extensively excerpted by so many home video companies that I may well have its complete text scattered about my shelf. Which is fine by me.

A semiparametric method for predicting bankruptcy
Bankruptcy prediction methods based on a semiparametric logit model are proposed for simple random (prospective) and case-control (choice-based; retrospective) data. The unknown parameters and prediction probabilities in the model are estimated by the local likelihood approach, and the resulting estimators are analyzed through their asymptotic biases and variances. The semiparametric bankruptcy prediction methods using these two types of data are shown to be essentially equivalent. Thus our proposed prediction model can be directly applied to data sampled from the two important designs. One real data example and simulations confirm that our prediction method is more powerful than alternatives, in the sense of yielding smaller out-of-sample error rates.

Hylite have designed this greenhouse heater to be a cheap-to-run, effective way of offering protection from the frost in the greenhouse.
Q. I am looking for a heater to use in my shed when i am grooming my pets to keep me warmer, do you think this would be suitable?
A. The tube heater is more of a frost protector than a physical heater. If your looking to heat an area then the Bio Green Montana 2kW heater will be perfect for the job. (Just enter FIND ME QUICK CODE: 00057.
Q. What is the length of this heater?
A. This heater is 2-foot long (610mm).
Q. I am looking for a heater to protect a pump house at the top of a water bore well to stop the pump and pipes frezzing in cold weather. this is a small area so space is limited. I assume this heater is fitted with a thermostat as it is a frost protector? Please could you tell me at what Temp the heater kicks in? Is this variable or fixed? Will it stop water pipes freezing? Will it protect down to minus 13 to 20 centigrade as we have recnetly seen this winter?
A. This heater is perfect for keeping a well insulated area of around 6'x6' frost free. Keeping external sourced pipes from freezing is a little more comlicated though. These can freeze from the outside in so I would suggest using a 2 or 3kw fan heater (Accessories>>Heaters>>Electric Heaters) set at between 8-12 degrees in an attempt to keep the pipes flowing.
Q. Is there a thermostate with this heater?
A. All tube heaters by Hylite have a safety cut off to prevent over-heating. But they can be used in conjunction with a BioGreen Thermo 2 thermostat if one is required.
Q. can this tube be used vertical ?
A. These heaters must be horizontal to prevent burn-out.
Q. I would like to use this heater in an airing cupboard as I have recently had a new boiler installed, therefore no tank in airing cupboard and no warmth. Would it be suitable for this purpose? Many thanks
A. I can think of no reason why a IP55 80W Tube Greenhouse Heater could not be used to provide background warmth in an airing cupboard.
* required fields
Nice little heater i have it on in my 10ft x 6ft shed all the time just keeps the chill off when i am working in there.

Representative Ron Paul, Texas Republican and author of "End the Fed," will take control of the House subcommittee that oversees the Federal Reserve.
House Financial Services chairman-elect Spencer Bachus, an Alabama Republican, selected Paul, 75, to lead the panel's domestic monetary policy subcommittee when their party takes the House majority next month, the committee chairman said today.
"This is the leadership team that crafted the first comprehensive financial reform bill to put an end to the bailouts, wind down the taxpayer funding of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and enforce a strong audit of the Federal Reserve," Bachus said in a statement.
Paul, in an interview last week, said he plans a slate of hearings on U.S. monetary policy and will restart his push for a full audit of the Fed's functions.

text: Well here we are the day of the Rib Roast smoke. It has been a Murphy's Law day all day long. to start things off the service call I was going to do this AM canceled out. I always test my thermometers before I smoke. My ET-73 is sitting on the counter near the sink, probe in ice water. The boys let the dog back in he jumps up putting his paws on the counter knocking the 73 into the sink........................You know where this is headed right?.....................Yep the sink is full of water. Had I been right there I might have been able to save it but I was in the other room, headed to the kitchen, I had the roast on the counter. Now I gotta smoke with my old thermometers, none of which are very accurate or have a remote display. I calibrate them in ice water noting how far they are off. I chose to use the Taylor with a pager for the meat, and it's only off 15 degrees high not too bad. I use my El-cheapo true-temp that is off 40 degrees low for the smoker temp, might as well use the darn stock thermometer on the smoker except its erratic. Fire up smoker and preheat get Rib Roast in at 2:00 1 hour behind, called wife and told her we are eating 1 hour later no big deal. I check roast at 1 hour we are looking good just no drippings in pan. I don't think much of it as temp of roast is only 68. I check it again at 2.5 hours still looking good, and still no drippings in pan. I know I should have some drippings by now, and all i have is a few small spots. My first thought is smoker temps too low, I pull the true-temp and check it again in boiling water, nope off by 40. I then think the Taylor is off, so I take my instant read and check nope same temp. this has me stumped, never seen this before. My gut is telling me something is wrong but I can't figure out what. Smoker temps are checked about every 15-30 min lowest I had seen was 205 and highest was 230. I let it go and and checked again at 4 hours Rib roast is 136, checked with instant read as well. But there are no drippings yetI'm pulling the roast at 140 so we are almost done. I am busy with the taters when the beeper goes off. when I get out there the roast is 142 close enough. But I got no drippings. I put it in the drip pan and foil it to rest. After a 15 min rest I slice into it. I am devastated its not pink. IT has moisture but the meat is brown, My wife says think about it the injection was dark brown, It colored the meat just like the turkeys. OK makes since. We eat, I am so glade my boy didn't have his GF over, this was the worst tasting rib roast I have done. It's not due to how it was cooked it was the meat. The only moisture to speak of was from my injection. The areas that didn't get the injection like down by the ribs was DRY, and they had the great red color I am use to seeing. I have no clue why this meat is so dry, and it didn't have that beefy flavor. My wife thinks it was from an old dairy cow. Before I go talking to my butcher I want your awl's input. Don't get me wrong here the meal was OK, the meat was edible, mostly due to my injecting, had good smoke flavor. The taters were EXCELLENT, and every thing else was good. I will do a post on the taters as well in sides. This was in no way the dinner I had planed on for today. I would have been better off taking the $ I spent on this and going out. This goes to show even the best laid plans can go a-muck. As well as even experienced smokers can have a bad smoke. When you look at the pics note the amount of drippings in the pan under the roast and you will see exactly what I am talking about. Here's the Q-view 2PM just put in the smoker 1 Hr. in TBS. The pic looks blurry but that is TBS 2.5 Hr in TBS. Pic looks blurry but that's TBS 4Hr. in TBS. The Smoke was mostly done so I didn't add any wood Fresh out of smoker waiting to be foiled Rib bones removed and Sliced into note the red juice The rib bones see how nice and Pink they are The taters cooking Veggies ready to cook The salad Taters all done Veggies all done So there ya have it my totally messed up dinner

Poor Quality From Canada
By KC001 on
Vehicle2010 Lexus RX 350 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
ReviewWhen we ordered our 2010 RX we were assured it would come from Japan, all of our previous 5 Lexus' were Japan built. When the Canada manufactured RX arrived, dealer was surprised but we took the car. First thing that happened was at about 100 miles the front bumper popped off right at the headlights. Sure it was loose at delivery. Returned to dealer and they wanted to charge to repair the damage. Of course that did not fly and they fixed it no charge. Now at 2000 miles bumper is completely loose again just from normal driving. Also waiting on Lexus Customer Service to respond.

It's refreshing to see a series so well done that it not only invites viewers to deeply care about the characters, but encourages the audience to educate themselves about what's happening in other parts of the world. People Like Us does that and more.
The webseries, which just released its first season, follows four gay men living in Singapore whose lives interconnect in unique ways. It is the first webseries to ever be developed in Singapore about gay men, which is why producer/director Leon Cheo is aiming to introduce their stories to a mainstream audience.

Study: My Understanding of Websites
Benefits of Reading Manga Books
In simpler terms, manga are Japanese comics and animes. People of all ages in Japan usually read these books. These comic books encompass a wide range of genres including romance, comedy, commerce, drama, detective, mystery, fantasy, science fiction, sports and games among other categories. The popularity of these books has grown and spread to other parts of the world since they are a respected form of literature and art. The stories covered in these books are usually diverse hence anyone can read them depending on their taste. These books also include vibrant pictures and frames that make the stories more captivating and entertaining on another level. Those who have a collection of manga books tends to benefit a lot as they can use them for research or read them as a hobby.
One should ensure they conduct background research on the author of the manga book before choosing to read it. The quality of the content of manga books just as all other novels heavily depends on the expertise of the author. Learning more about the author will help one determine whether the content will be worthwhile without having to read the book itself. The first thing to do is to find out what makes the author an expert in that field. Authors who have worked extensively in the anime world are bound to have quality content in their books. One way to avoid pieces written by casual enthusiasts is by gathering background information on the author.
When choosing a mange book to read, those that contain more text than images are the best ones to choose. Those with plenty of images tend to be meaningless especially if you are conducting research. One tends to be in need of a lot of information which can only be provided in books that are textual. There are manga encyclopedias that are more suitable for research since they contain in-depth analysis on various topics. There are references that are provided in these encyclopedias that will be useful for manga lovers who are in need of information.
Since manga books are written by authors who are very familiar with manga trends in the country, looking at these books provides one with a lot of insight. One way to learn about Japanese culture is by reading these books as they are very beneficial. Using manga books in addition to other westernized books makes your research far more credible and broad. If at all you want to use these books for the sake of research, one should always go for those that are written by well-known and respected authors.
The purposes served by manga books are quite many. There are those manga books whose sole purpose is to entertain their readers while others are written for the purpose of educating or informing people various issues.

Greetings fellow WikiTreers! Welcome to the May 2017 edition of News from the Tree, our monthly report on new features and changes around the site, notes on community leaders, tips, etc.
What's New?
Have you Checked your Weekly Connections in the Connection Finder?
Every week you can find two new connections in our Connection Finder.
Each Monday, we showcase a WikiTreer in a Meet our Members feature on our blog and they also get to be spotlighted in the Connection Finder for that week (starting on Tuesday).
This week it's Bea Wijma. Bea has been a member of our community since October of 2013 and is one of our wonderful Leaders. She is very active leading several projects including Dutch Roots, Cape of Good Hope, New Netherland and South African Roots. She participates in the Dutch Roots Challenge and has been instrumental in the development of the Nederlands Portaal. You can learn more about her here and check the Finder to see how you are connected!
We also highlight what we call an Example Profile of the Week. These profiles are top-notch and meet the styles and standards criteria that the community has agreed upon. The notable whose profile is used as an example is also featured in the Connection Finder for that week.
Spotlighted this week is Dr. Benjamin Spock, born 2 May 1903, in New Haven, Connecticut. Dr. Spock was renowned for his theories on intuitive parenting and his anti-war positions. See how you are connected!
And of course you can always see your connection to Queen Elizabeth II and Kevin Bacon.
Follow the tag connection_finder for weekly updates on connections.
WikiTreers Cleaned House: Over 80,000 Errors Addressed During Clean-A-Thon
Wow, what a great weekend! Huge thanks to all of you who participated in our Clean-a-Thon. We can definitely call it a success!
Here are some stats from the event:
Top 5 Teams:
- A Rose By Any Other Name (Leader: Emma McBeth) – 11,977
- Massachusetts 600 (Leader: Bob Keniston) – 7,592
- Merry Moppers (Leader: Lucy Lavelle) – 5,468
- Virginia Spring Cleaners (Leader: Liz Shifflett) – 5,457
- Southern Super Sweepers (Leader: Dorothy Barry) – 5,125
Top 5 Participants:
- Lucy Lavelle - 3,167
- Emma McBeth - 3,046
- Charlotte Shockey - 2,763
- Dorothy Barry - 1,897
- Anonymous J. Penny - 1,732
- 603 – USA too early in birth location – 9,497
- 611 – Birth location in lowercase – 4,737
- 633 – USA too early in death location – 4,272
- 811 – Uncleaned profile after a merge – 4,130
- 511 – Unique names (spelling) – 3,894
New "Ancestors" and "Descendants" Buttons
We're excited to announce this new feature.
You can now view family trees and descendant lists without leaving a person's main profile page.
Look for the "Ancestors" button next to the person parents' names and the "Descendants" button next to their children's names, e.g. on https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Whitten-20
Note that they will only appear if the person has grandparents or grandchildren. For example, Chris Whitten's profile has an Ancestors button but not a Descendants button because he doesn't have grandchildren. A descendant list for him wouldn't show anything that isn't on the main profile page.
A little extra feature: putting your cursor over a parent's name will show the grandparents. Mousing-over a child's name will show grandchildren.
We are not changing the existing Family Tree and Descendant List pages (e.g. Whitten-Family-Tree-20 and Whitten-Descendants-20). The main content on those pages is the same as what you can now access on the profile page, but it's useful to have separate URLs.
Change to Open Privacy Level
We've been discussing changing our privacy rules for a long time.
We've now made a decision and are starting the process of implementing an important change.
The new rule: Profiles of people who were born over 150 years ago or who died over 100 years ago must be Open.
As of today, that applies to profiles of people born before May 1867 or who died before May 1917.
Until now the rule was that profiles of people born over 200 years ago must be Open. We aren't changing any other privacy rules. See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Privacy.
For details on how this change will be implemented, see this G2G post.
Are you Related to Any U.S. Presidents?
There have been a lot of G2G posts lately from people who are curious if and how they are related to any of the U.S. Presidents. We've made it easier for you to check. Just go to our Relationship Finder and you'll see a list of all the Presidents. You can quickly click through and see if you are related.
Question of the Week
Have you participated in the Question of the Week yet? Every Monday a genealogy-related question is posed to community members in our G2G Forum. You can join in the fun and share a little about yourself and learn about your fellow WikiTreers! Follow the tag "question_of_the_week" to get the new question each week.
We recently asked "What is your most memorable genealogical discovery?"
Here are just a few of the answers we received:
- My great-grandfather was eight months old when his mother died, or at least that was the story as he knew it. As it turns out, his mother left his father and went on to have three daughters, two of whom became nuns and one who went on to have a descendant on ancestry.com. He was a Methodist minister; wouldn't he have been surprised to know he had two half-sisters who were nuns? Of course, there is much more to this story and by far it's one of the most memorable discoveries. ~ Pendy
- I recently discovered that 6th great-grandparents are the grandparents of General Sam Houston – which makes us 1st cousins 6x's removed. Also, descended from the same line – my 7th great-grandparents are the 5th great-grandparents of actor Bill Paxton, making us 6th cousins 2x's removed. I'm sure they would both be equally excited to find they are related to me haha ~ Michelle
- The first mention of my great great grandmother in the newspapers (and she seems to feature a lot) is when she discovers a baby's body in Nelson Harbour in 1865. The mother of the child was charged with infanticide and my gg grandmother, who was only about 18 at the time and newly married, had to give evidence at the trial while about 4 months pregnant herself. ~ Fiona
- Many years ago my sister and I visited the state historical building, which houses the states genealogical collection. I was newly married and thrilled to have new lines to search. We were discussing where to go with our research when told my sister I thought I would look into the Stephenson line from Kosciusko County Indiana. My sister looked at me oddly and said her husband had Stephenson's in Kosciusko County, Indiana. Needless to say, our husbands are related through the Stephenson line. ~ Deena
- I was just starting out in genealogy and was working on my biological lines and adoptive parents lines. I knew I had two older siblings and started searching and posting on websites, both genealogy and adoptive. A year and a half later I received an email that said, "I think you're looking for me, I'm your big sister" Sure enough it was. ~ Shelly
Remember point IX of our Honor Code: We are united in a mission to increase the world's common store of knowledge. We always respect copyrights and privacy, but we keep information as free and open as possible.
- Have you been through our New Member How-To pages yet? Check out How to Start Climbing our Tree for suggestions on how to get going.
- We often get questions about the costs of joining WikiTree. See here for our pledge to keep WikiTree 100% free!
- Prioritize your profile updates. From your Watchlist click the fourth header 'Last Edit' to sort the list so that the first profile listed is the one that's gone the longest time without being edited. Check it out – maybe there's something you can add or improve!
- Do you have an issue, concern or problem with another member? If so, start here: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Problems_with_Members

IPSA kritisiert EinreisebeschrÃĪnkungen der USAKategorie: Informationen
Von: F. Wurm
Executive Committee verabschiedet Statement
The IPSA Statement on the US Travel Ban
The International Political Science Association (IPSA) expresses its grave concern with the January 27, 2017 Executive Order of United States President Trump which bans the admission of citizens of seven countries into the US for three months. This ban poses a very serious challenge to academic freedom. Students and scholars need to learn from and exchange ideas with our colleagues across the world regardless of their nationality. The Executive Order violates our freedom to study, to attend conferences, to conduct joint research, to hold visiting appointments, to give lectures in different countries, and otherwise impinge on the exchange of research and ideas, which we cherish.
Representing the global community of political scientists, IPSA believes that the imposition of a travel ban constitutes a violation of fundamental values and principles that sustain our work as academics. The Order jeopardizes both the US and the international scholarly community.
We strongly urge the US to lift the travel ban.
Adopted unanimously by the IPSA Executive Committee

Reducing the Administrative Expenditures as Source for Increasing the Efficiency of Local Governance under Conditions of the Financial Crisis
In the last 10-15 years the preoccupation concerning administrative expenses were expressed in concrete initiatives. The networks concerning Standard Costs Model (SCM) are worth mentioning for reducing administrative expenses in private business area. European Commission elaborated and is currently implementing a strategy for reducing administrative costs for business inside EU. Similar initiatives can be found at OECD, World Bank and in numerous other European states, and not only, such as USA, UK, Denmark, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway and others. Financial crisis emphasized the preoccupation for administrative expenses reduction. The analysis and measurements focus was transferred towards public business area where most of the states proposed short term strategies to reduce the mentioned expenses. In this context, the strategies comprised all governance levels were expressed in concrete measures to reduce administrative expenses for administrative structure and local public services etc. In many of the situations, the resulted sums from the administrative expenses reductions were redirected towards production process concluding in the maintaining of public service production and increasing its efficiency related to workforce. In this context, the present paper aims to generate economic models that determine the influence of administrative expenses reduction on public services efficiency and, based on these, to formulate conclusions on local governance efficiency
