Petition seeks end to abuses of power
Bishops add names to online call for freedom
ucanews.com reporter, Ho Chi Minh City
January 22, 2013
An internet petition circulating within the country has called on the government to revise the constitution to include provisions for public sovereignty, human rights and private ownership.
"The constitution must first aim to ensure the safety, freedom and happiness of the people, and limit the abuse of power," stated the petition, which was launched yesterday.
The petition, which carried the digital signatures of 72 intellectuals and activists, followed the posting by state-run media of draft amendments to the constitution ahead of a public referendum that begins this month and runs through March.
Included among the signatories of the petition were Bishop Paul Nguyen Thai Hop of Vinh and Father Joseph Mary Le Quoc Thang of the Episcopal Commission for Justice and Peace, and Father John Baptist Huynh Cong Minh, vicar general of Ho Chi Minh City archdiocese.
The petition further stated that the people should be the ones who have the final say on the nation's constitution, and that the government's proposed draft, which stipulates that the Communist Party of Vietnam controls the state and society violates human and civil rights and the rule of law.
Citing the collapse of Communism in Europe and the former Soviet Union, the petition further stated that only a free, democratic and multi-party state would serve the common good of all the country's citizens.
"The Communist Party will have opportunities to restore the trust of the people" if such proposals are accepted, the petition stated.
The signatories also drew attention to the current constitution, which was revised in 1992, and its endorsement of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and stated that these rights have never been exercised in reality.
The petition is to be sent to the National Assembly, which is expected to approve a revised constitution in October.

Title: Bluebonnets and wildflowers for Nashville TN
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I have several packets individually of both bluebonnets and of wildflowers, and want to plant them on 2 hills that we have around our home. We live near Nashville, and aren't even sure if the bluebonnets, especially, will even grow here? Second, how do I get all the seeds out, most efficiently, onto these 2 hills? Can I scatter them? The grasses appear to grow in clumps vs. horizontally. Can I do this now, in early Spring? Last, the hills get lots of sun and of course offer good drainage.
There are a number of different species of Lupinus that look similiar to Lupinus texensis (Texas bluebonnet), but we assume that is the one you are talking about. Also, wildflowers are area-specific, growing best only in the area in which they have always grown, because they are adapted to the climate, rainfall and soil of that area. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is focused on the care and propagation of plants native not only to North America but to the area in which they grow naturally. You may very well not even know what the plants are in the wildflower packets, perhaps they are listed on the envelope.
To begin with Lupinus texensis (Texas bluebonnet), if that is what you believe you have, it is not shown on this USDA Plant Profile as growing anywhere beyond Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Florida. And those other states than Texas are probably the result of being naturalized, rather than being native to those states. Also, we checked the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone for Williamson County, in central Tennessee. It seems to be in Zone 6b, with average minimum temperatures of -10 to -5 deg. F. Most of the areas where bluebonnets grow wild in Texas are in Zones 8a to 8b, with average minimum temperatures of 10 to 20 deg. F. The bluebonnet is a winter annual, putting up rosettes close to the ground usually before Christmas and going on to bloom in late February through April. They might not be able to withstand your colder temperatures, so we would suggest you grow them in pots. The flowers in nature seed themselves in May and June, so you could do the same. The dirt and moisture begin to work on their rough, hard coats, and they are usually ready to start germinating in late Fall. In Texas, we tend to plant them in the Fall, sometimes after boiling them, or soaking them overnight to loosen that coat. We had thought to encourage you to grow lupines native to Tennessee, but after looking in our Native Plant Database, out of the 54 species of the genus Lupinus, not one was native to Tennessee.
Now, on to the packets of "wildflower" seed you have. It would concern us if groups of mixed, unidentified seeds were broadcast in your area. Many of them are probably non-native to your area, and some of them could become invasive and begin to take over, pushing out the naturally-occurring wildflowers. Unless you have a list of the plants and are assured that they are natives to Tennessee, it would really be better if they were discarded, and not in the compost pile, where they could REALLY grow.
We applaud your desire to grow wildflowers on your property. We advise that you stick to native wildflowers. Your best source of information on what those plants are, where to obtain seeds and when to plant them is the Tennessee Native Plant Society. That link takes you to their Home Page with contact information; they will probably be happy to help you out. Another resource is the University of Tennessee Extension Office for Williamson County. Their home page has contact information, they apparently have courses and Master Gardeners, and can give advice on seeding.
Finally, as a consolation prize, may we offer you a list of wildflowers native to Tennessee? Many wildflowers are perennials, but the annuals are the ones more normally planted from seed.

Katy Perry's Dad Calls Daughter 'Devil Child' and Wants People to 'Pray' for Her in Sermons
Katy Perry is labeled as "devil child" by her own father, according to British news outlet The Sun. Parents Keith Perry and Mary Hudson, who are currently touring American churches as guest speakers, also urged people to "pray for Katy" in a string of sermons.
During touring, the pair also reportedly showed a video which depicts the "I Kissed a Girl" singer as a "devil child" who needs "healing." Keith then recalled, "[Church attendees] ask how can I preach if I produce a girl who sang about kissing another girl?"
Keith also told the site that he sometimes shed tears when going to watch his daughter's live performances. He said that he once was among 20,000 people in his daughter's concert. "I'm watching this generation and they were going at it. It almost looked like church," he said.
He expressed his sadness that those people at the concert worshiped Katy instead of God. He added, "I stood there and wept and kept on weeping and weeping. They're loving and worshiping the wrong thing."
Prior to becoming a famous pop singer, Katy was a church singer. Having grown up in a strict Christian household, the ex-wife of Russell Brand clearly had a different mindset from her parents who are both evangelical pastors. "My mind has changed," she told Parade magazine back in 2012.
However, she said that spirituality was still a part of her life. "I don't go to one particular church," she said in an interview last July. "I'm open to the idea. It's just I haven't been able to in the past few years. But you know what? God is still inside of me and I still talk to Him every day."

Harvard's motto is "VERITAS (truth)." Its shield displays it. So do rings students buy.
It wasn't present at Harvard's April 19 - 20 Israel Conference (IC). Perhaps an invitation wasn't extended.
IC was billed as a "first of its kind on Harvard's campus." Initiated by Israeli students, they "wanted to bring the Israeli spirit to campus the way they see it - as that of a vibrant, innovative and eternally optimistic state."
"VERITAS" was nowhere in sight. Neither was occupation harshness. Exclusion was more than oversight. Expect little change next year at another session. Topics this year were poor ones. Featuring them concealed reality. Guests were worse. More on them below.
In March, Harvard held a One State Conference. Its purpose was to "to educate ourselves and others about the possible contours of a one-state solution and the challenges that stand in the way of its realization."
Speakers worth hearing were featured. They included Israeli historian Ilan Pappe, Electronic Intifada co-founder Ali Abunimah, and Law Professor Susan Akram. Critics denounced their comments.
Harvard Kennedy School Dean David Ellwood issued an advance statement. He expressed deep "disappoint(ment) to see that the initial list of speakers (was) so one-sided."
He feared Harvard would "give the false impression" about endorsing their agenda. He stopped short of presenting his own based on "VERITAS" and full disclosure.
He wasn't alone. Senator Scott Brown (R-MA) condemned the conference. He called it "dangerous thinking that gives comfort to Israel's enemies." He requested Harvard cancel. To its credit, it was held as scheduled.
It also featured pro-Israeli Alan Dershowitz. Honest critics know he's a notorious bigot, a longstanding Islamophobe, a misinterpreter of fundamental law principles, a believer in unique Jewish suffering, an advocate for torture and targeted assassinations, a committed Zionist, and apologist for Israel's worst crimes.
He wasn't alone. Yet Abunimah called the conference "one of the most informed, nuanced, creative, and responsible discussions on Israel-Palestine I've recently participated in."
The Harvard Crimson said:
Participants "advocated for the consideration of alternative solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."
"Despite the protests, the event proceeded smoothly and remained unaffected by the opinions of some of its opponents, said Kennedy School student Ahmed Moor, an organizer of the conference."
"Panels included discussion about issues of nationhood and cultural identity, the building a global movement, and the history of violence between Palestinians and Israelis. During some of the events, panelists responded directly to critics accusing them of promoting a one-sided dialogue."
When it ended, Moor said it was "about what to do about reconciling between two peoples who deserve better." It begins with honest, open discussions without which no solution is possible.
April's conference was mirror opposite. Harvard apparently yielded to critics and went rogue. Instead of open give and take, pro-Israeli sentiment was featured.
Imagine a speaker lineup shameful enough to embarrass responsible alums, faculty, and student body members alike. Following Harvard Provost Alan Garber's opening remarks, featured ones promoted agendas defiling "VERITAS," justice, fairness, and rule of law principles.
Former Iraq war Pentagon spokesman Dan Senor began things.
He's now an Israeli lobbyist, investment banker, Fox News contributor, and co-author of "Start-up Nation: The Story of Israel's Economic Miracle." It excludes how Palestinians are occupied, oppressed, exploited, impoverished, imprisoned, tortured, and killed.
He's also a former AIPAC intern, a past and perhaps present Carlyle Group senior associate, a former White House deputy press secretary, a USIBEX director (US-Israel Business Exchange), and Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) member.
Sourcewatch quoted him in 2004 saying he avoided political partisanship in his work. His career's based on it. Nonetheless, he claimed he's "guided by ethical 'red lines.' "
They didn't stop him from promoting and misreporting on Bush's Iraq war. Nor did it deter his one-sided Israel support.
UK historian/Harvard Professor Niall Ferguson followed him. He's a frequent scoundrel TV/print contributor, a Hoover Institution senior fellow, a GLG Partners investment management consultant, a social agenda critic, and an advocate of replacing Medicare and Medicaid with Medical Security System vouchers to let corporate providers rip off customers more than already. His other views are just as hardline.
Bank of Israel Governor Stanley Fischer spoke last. He's also an economist, a former Citigroup vice chairman and IMF first deputy managing director, a Council on Foreign Relations and Trilateral Commission member, a Guggeneheim fellow, and National Bureau of Economic Research associate, among other anti-populist credentials.
He's to Israel what Bernanke is to America, Goldman Sachs alum Mario Draghi to the EU, and Mervyn King to Britain. Their policies lavished stolen wealth on banks. In the process, they wrecked economies, communities, households, and futures of millions of exploited people.
Their agenda perhaps includes transferring all wealth to elitist hands. If successful, neoserfdom will entirely replace enlightenment in America, Europe, Israel, and perhaps elsewhere. It's well along toward doing it already.
Following morning and afternoon panel discussions, former Obama Middle East official Dennis Ross keynoted day two.
A previous article described him as follows:
Anti-Defamation League head Abe Foxman calls him Israel's "advocate." Middle East analyst Aaron David Miller says he's "Israel's lawyer." Others call him a Zionist hardliner up to no good for Palestine or Israel's regional rivals, including Iran.
He also co-founded the AIPAC-linked Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP). An extremist Israeli front group, it's board of advisors includes rogue figures like Henry Kissinger, George Shultz, James Woolsey, and Richard Perle.
James Petras once called him "a virulent Zionist advocate of Israel's ultra-militaristic policies, including an armed preemptive attack on Iranian nuclear and military installations."
"Ross is an unconditional supporter of the Israeli starvation siege of (Gaza), and fully backed Israel's savage (2006) air attacks against civilian targets in Lebanon."
Closely linked to Israeli policies, he's no friend of Palestine, peace, or justice. He one-sidedly back its lawlessness. He's criminally complicit in its crimes. Nonetheless, Harvard featured him on day two.
Panelists included Asaf Bar Ilan and Michael Eisenberg. Both violate international law. They're connected to illegal Israeli settlements. Ilan owns a Golan farm. Occupied since June 1967, it's Syrian territory, not his. He's also a former IDF officer and Nemesysco Israel Ltd business development vice president.
Eisenberg is a Gush Etzion settlement bloc religious/military school board member. Also a Benchmark Capital general partner, he served in that capacity with Israel Seed Partners.
At the expense of excluded fair-minded scholar/analysts, investment and other business related guests were featured. Among them were Sadara Ventures general partner Yadin Kaufmann, al-Bawader fund general partner/co-founder Habib Hazzan, and Economic Policy Research Foundation's managing director Guven Sak.
Harvard's Center for International Development's Ricardo Hausmann moderated an "Innovating a Region" session.
Harvard Business School's James Sebenius moderated a "Start-Up Nation" one. Besides Eisenberg, speakers included Israeli engineer/inventor/businessman Dov Moran, venture capitalist Jonathan Medved, and Israeli Efi Arazi School of Computer Science's Shimon Schocken.
Israeli journalist/TV host Becky Griffin moderated a Teddy Herzl Talks session. Besides Ilan, participants included Technion Israel Institute of Technology's Yoav Medan, IsraAID's Aid & Development/Japan director Yotam Polizer, Israeli physician/educator Karen Djemal, and SpaceIL CEO/co-founder Yariv Bash.
For doing the right thing, Harvard's One State Conference drew heavy criticism. Nary a disparaging word followed its April one.
Excluding what most needs discussing, Israel was misrepresented as a "vibrant, innovative and eternally optimistic state." Palestinians have other views. So do millions of their supporters worldwide.
"VERITAS" depends on featuring them at future programs. Otherwise, it's just a motto, nothing else.

Serious Fraud Office launches criminal probe into claims G4S and Serco over-charged for tagging DEAD offenders
- G4S and Serco accused of wrongly billing for non-existent tags
- Estimates suggest one in six of 18,000 tags billed for were not real
- Ministers asked fraud investigators to look into claims after internal audit
The Serious Fraud Office has launched a criminal investigation into claims private firms G4S and Serco were overcharging for tagging criminals.
The probe comes after it was claimed taxpayers were charged tens of millions of pounds for 'phantom' electronic tags on criminals who were either dead, in jail or had left the country.
It is a fresh blow for government plans to outsource even more work to private firms in a bid to save money.
Ministers fear taxpayers could have overpaid two private companies for their work tagging criminals
The government launched a review of all contracts with G4S and Serco signed by every government department after doubts were raised about the use of taxpayers money.
A disciplinary investigation was begun into former officials in the Ministry of Justice after discovering contract managers were aware of billing issues in 2008, but 'nothing substantive was done'.
The scandal could date back as far as 1999, when tagging of criminals began in England and Wales.
Since then the taxpayer has spent £1billion on tagging and monitoring offenders. The current contracts began in 2005.
In some cases private contractors charged the Government for years after tagging had stopped and cases included being charged for tags for dead people.
Justice Secretary Chris Grayling has previously condemned the 'wholly indefensible and unacceptable state of affairs'.
May it emerged auditors had been called in to examine payments to Serco
and G4S, which monitor around 20,000 criminals at any one time.
Today an SFO spokesman said: 'The Director of the Serious Fraud Office has opened a criminal investigation into G4S and Serco electronic monitoring contracts.'
Probe: Global security firm G4S is to be investigated by the Serious Fraud Office over tagging contacts dating back more than a decade
Labour's shadow justice secretary Sadiq Khan said: 'The decision by the Serious Fraud Office to launch an investigation into the G4S tagging contract is a major development.
'With future Ministry of Justice contracts up for grabs, including more than £600million of probation contracts, the Government must act swiftly and bar G4S from bidding for any more until the SFO has concluded its investigation.
'By failing to do so, David Cameron risks undermining public confidence in our justice system.'
An audit by big four accountancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, launched in May, alleged that overcharging began at least as far back as the start of the current contracts in 2005 - but could have dated as far back as the previous contracts let in 1999.
G4S, which made headlines around the world for failing to povide enough security guards for the London Olympics, previously refused to take part in an additional government audit to rule out any dishonesty.
A spokesman for G4S said: 'G4S confirms it has today received notice that the director of the Serious Fraud Office has opened an investigation into the "contract for the provision of electronic monitoring services which commenced in April 2005 as amended and extended until the present day".
'G4S has confirmed to the SFO that it will co-operate fully with the investigation.'
A statement from Serco said: "Serco confirms that it will co-operate fully with the SFO investigation."
Justice Secretary Chris Grayling told the two firms that an independent forensic audit was required to look at, among other areas, internal email trails between executives to establish what happened. While Serco agreed to take part, G4S refused.
A Government-wide review of all contracts held by Serco and G4S was sparked by the allegations last July.
G4S was reported to the SFO when it refused to co-operate with a further audit, while Serco allowed a further forensic audit to take place.
In the course of the audit in September, the Ministry of Justice provided material to the SFO in relation to Serco's conduct.

Cloudkicker: Let Yourself Be Huge
Let Yourself Be Huge delves back a couple of years into the catalog of Pittsburgh musician Ben Sharp, specifically the closing track from the eight track album of the same name released in 2011.
It's a beautifully produced mostly instrumental song crafted at Sharp's home in Pittsburgh. We think its perfect for the waning hours of May and if the album cover is any indication, represents the unlimited possibilities of the upcoming summer.
Enjoy and check out all of his great releases below, including the newest in 2015, Woum.Let Yourself Be Huge by Cloudkicker is licensed under a Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC BY 3.0) License

Getaway Dogs: Indonesia
The son of a Californian artist and a Brazilian immigrant, Killion was born in the States but spent his baby years in post-war Eritrea. His family returned to California, spending seven years in Santa Cruz, then moving up the coast to rural Point Reyes. They would eventually leave the US again, this time to spend a year living in Rio de Janeiro. It was during this year in Brazil, surrounded by a heavily musical family, that Killion came in touch with his Brazilian heritage and learned to play guitar.
All the places he has lived and travelled have collectively imprinted in him a unique style of musicianship, lending natural roots to jazz, folk, soul, and Brazilian music. [via Green Light Go Pub]

Cantina: Bulletproof
"We are basically a band of drummers," says John Dufilho of Dallas-based group, Cantina.
Accurate, but when considering that Dufilho (guitar, vocals) also plays with Elephant 6 co-founders The Apples In Stereo (as well as his beloved solo project, The Deathray Davies), bassist Jason Garner (Dufilho's friend of a quarter-century) can be found among the throng that is The Polyphonic Spree, and Philip Peeples (the only drummer in Cantina who actually drums in Cantina) is member of The Old 97's, maybe not basic?
Rounding out Cantina's lineup is Dufilho's Deathray Davies cohort Andy Lester, along with banjo player, Marcus Hollar (late of Dropkick Murphys singer Mike McColgan's punk band, Street Dogs.)" [bio via Fanatic PR]

The Olés: Sabadub
Santa Barbara based reggae-rock band The Olés have just released a new music video for their single 'Sabado Tarde,' a classic tale of Isla Vista life. You may remember our feature of an early version of the track featured on another beautiful 2013 Memorial Day here in the States. During Deltopia the band filmed the aforementioned video in one clip walking through the crowds on Del Playa, which is guaranteed to bring back some great memories of the area.
Today we feature the similar yet entirely different sounding track 'Sabadub' a more leisurely meltdown for the weekend ahead of you. The track comes from the band's debut LP, Strickly Speaking which moves beyond just reggae and rock into hip hop and funk. Some highlights are their cover of Atmosphere's "Sunshine," the feel good track "Poor," and the 1960s worthy protest song, "Landlord." The band's mission is to deliver positivity through thoughtful lyrics backed by upbeat grooves. Frontman Matt Tweed says "Writing music allows me to find the silver linings in life and give them vibrancy through lyrics. We have a responsibility as musicians to promote peace and positivity when we have a microphone on a stage or songs in a stereo."
The group has been selected to play at 3 festivals in the next month starting with the California Roots Music and Arts festival in Monterrey this weekend and ending with the Live Oak Festival up in Santa Barbara on June 17, the cornerstone for their first out-of-state tour! All the dates follow further below, under the featured video.

Auditorium: Mt. Moriah
We've featured Auditorium twice before, with the songs songs "My Grandfather Could Make The World Dance" & "Ten Ton Park", and it is great to hear new material from the project of Los Angeles based Spencer Berger. We've had a sneak preview of the new album and can confirm it will be worth waiting for!
Spencer says "When I was a kid, I performed onstage from the ages of 9-12 with a variety of large, sweaty, golden-throated dudes like Luciano Pavarotti and Placido Domingo in front of thousands. Nowadays, I perform by myself in my bedroom in front of my old He-Man action figures. It's not quite as grand, but it's less sweaty, and a good deal more cozy."

I must admit I was a bit disingenuous in this week's podcast – I said I put the playlist together while riding through the rainy streets of Edinburgh on the bus. That's not quite true. I chose most of the tracks a week ago but it wasn't until today that I actually downloaded all the tracks thanks to the surprising reliable free bus WiFi!
On today's show a recent release from Colour Me Wednesday, a great indie-pop track from Fort Worth's The Crystal Furs and a track from the fantastic new album by Edinburgh's Book Group.

Back in January we got our first look at the first promo photos released for the upcoming sequel film Kick-Ass 2. Today we get to see the wholly fun and marginally NSFW red band trailer for the film. As you can see above, our fave heroes Kick-Ass (played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Hit Girl (played by Chloë Grace Moretz) are back for another fun-filled movie of ass kicking. It's good guys vs. bad guys in this second go-round and from the look of this red band trailer, it's going to be a helluva good time at the movies. Kick-Ass 2 hits theaters this Summer.0

Why men cheat - this is for all you ladies out there
Poster Handle
Post Content
The reason I cheat is because I don't see how that would hurt my wife in the grand scheme of things. I don't plan on ditching her and I take care of her. So another girl shows some interest in me and we form a trusting relationship based mostly on sexual companionship. How does that hurt my wife? I'm happier which means shes happier. I still provide, don't hurt her. There is alot you can do to hurt a woman, but cheating is not one of them. That said the perception is that its evil so I am forced to keep it from her because she bought into this media hyped perfect marriage where natural sexual feelings don't exist. So I say relax girls the main issue for relationships failing is alcohol and drugs, financial reasons, and overall unhappiness. As long as you are happy and your man is happy things are good.

I'm assuming the same would apply if she was doing the same thing you are. Here's what I've found with men. Men will use the same ole excuse when they flirt, for example. Not hurting anyone, blahblahblah. But, the second you do what they're doing?? Suddenly, it's a whole different ball game.

Enzyme test in 1st trimester predicts fetal gender
Washington: Measuring the ratio of two enzymes in maternal plasma is an effective indicator for the early detection of fetal gender, a new study has suggested.
The new study describes findings that could lead to a non-invasive test that would let expecting mothers know the sex of their baby as early as the first trimester.
Researchers from South Korea discovered that various ratios of the enzymes DYS14 and GAPDH, which can be extracted from a pregnant mother's blood, indicate if the baby will be a boy or a girl.
"Generally, early fetal gender determination has been performed by invasive procedures such as chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis," Hyun Mee Ryu, a researcher involved in the work from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynocology at Cheil General Hospital and Women's Healthcare Center at the KwanDong University School of Medicine in Seoul, Korea, said.
"However, these invasive procedures still carry a one to two percent risk of miscarriage and cannot be performed until 11 weeks of gestation. Moreover, reliable determination of fetal gender using ultrasonography cannot be performed in the first trimester, because the development of external genitalia is not complete.
"Therefore, this can reduce the need for invasive procedures in pregnant women carrying an X-linked chromosomal abnormality and clarify inconclusive readings by ultrasound," Ryu said.
To make this discovery, Ryu and colleagues collected maternal plasma from 203 women during their first trimester of pregnancy. The presence of circulating fetal DNA was confirmed by a quantitative methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction of U-PDE9A.
Multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to simultaneously quantify the amount of DYS14 and GAPDH in maternal plasma. The results were confirmed by phenotype at birth.
The study has been published in The FASEB Journal.

Lebanon will once again postpone the gas auction which was scheduled for Aug. 10 as some ministers expressed their dissatisfaction over the state's share stated in the decrees, insiders said.But the ministerial committee designated to review the decrees has apparently agreed to open all the offshore 10 blocks for auction so the bidding oil companies can select one or two of these blocks. Some of the ministers wondered why Israel, for example, has set higher royalty and taxes on the oil companies than Lebanon, claiming that the state is giving a making of unnecessary concession to the firms.According to one of the decrees, royalties were set at 4 percent and oil between 5 to 12 percent, which is seen by some experts as far lower than the ceilings set by other countries which have invited oil companies to explore in its territorial waters. Citing an example of other countries that set higher royalties and taxes on oil and gas revenues, the analysts stressed that Israel has an average royalty of 12.5 percent.

What is the 'Porter Diamond '
A model that attempts to explain the competitive advantage some nations or groups have due to certain factors available to them. The Porter Diamond is a model that helps analyze and improve a nation's role in a globally competitive field. The model was developed by Michael Porter, who is recognized as an authority on company strategy and competition; it is a more proactive version of economic theories that quantify comparative advantages for countries or regions.
Also known as "Porter's Diamond" or just the "Diamond Model".
BREAKING DOWN 'Porter Diamond '
Traditional economic theories cite land, location, natural resources, labor and population as determinants in competitive advantage. The Diamond Model uses a more proactive approach in considering factors such as:
-The firm strategy, structure and rivalry
-Demand conditions for products
-Related supporting industries
-Factor conditions
The Diamond Model demonstrates that countries can become competitive regardless of whether they possess natural factor endowments such as land and natural resources. In the Diamond Model, the role of government is to encourage and push organizations and companies to a more competitive level, thereby increasing performance and ultimately the total combined benefit.
