This is not my favorite Ayn Rand book. I read it first because it was her shortest. Bad idea.
This novella takes place sometime in the far distant future in a totally controlled society and it will surely make you stop and think long after you turn the final page. It is about a dystopian society, yet I wonder if it is not really about what some would consider a utopian society. Everything is decided by a Council. There is no danger to speak of. There are no uprisings. There is no dissent. If there should be, it is halted immediately and the guilty one is subjected to severe physical punishment. There is no due process. All societal threats have been removed because of the severe consequences for infractions. Conversation is controlled and limited so no new ideas are generated. Children are raised in group homes. There is no parental involvement. Adults live in homes organized by profession. Older adults are consigned to Homes for the Useless to await the end of their days at about age 40. No one is educated unless they are chosen to be by the Council of Vocations. Careers are not chosen but assigned. Mating and procreation is strictly controlled. It is basically a slave society, but the slaves don't know anything else but that life, and so they meekly obey.
The author has written a prescient tale of an America that becomes unrecognizable. The time of its publication is pertinent. Written in 1937 and published in 1938, it echoes the rising number of abuses instituted by Adolf Hitler, practices which were gaining enormous support. The theme of Arbeit Macht Frei on the gates of the Concentration Camps, "work will make you free" is a repetitive theme in the novella. Mating is conducted according to a strict schedule with mates chosen by the Council of Eugenics, This harkens back to Hitler's Lebensborn program, created to raise a society of pure Aryans. It illuminates his effort to control thought and behavior with the rising popularity of the Hitler youth movement; the young were trained and taught to hate those that were different, those that were not pure Aryans. They were taught to blindly obey, even if it meant betraying their own family and friends for the benefit of Hitler's Germany. The survival of the whole, the Fatherland, was of utmost importance.
In the society of the book, everyone is supposed to be the same. Individuals are identified by numbers because individuality is forbidden. The individual exists only for the benefit of the group, not for themselves. Free thought and free choice is forbidden. Feelings are forbidden. Strict schedules guide and govern daily life. Children are raised in group homes. At 15 a Council decides their futures. Hard work is the main goal in life. Ambition does not exist. There is no need for political correctness; politics, and conversation are both forbidden. Obedience is absolute. In this new world, it is forbidden to make mention of the past "Unmentionable Times". History has disappeared entirely. The "we" is worshipped as a "G-d". There is no "I" allowed. Nameless people are identified by a number and occupation, i.e. equality 7-2521 is a street cleaner. Others are in groups that are scholars, others are half-brains like Union 5-3992. Liberty 5-3000 is a woman. It is a crime to think, smile or walk about without purpose. It is a crime to be too tall because it makes you stand out, it makes you different. Even those who live past 40 are gaped at like animals in a zoo.
Men and women do not fraternize. This keeps emotions in check, which reminded me of religious rules forcing women to cover their bodies in burqas to prevent men from having sexual thoughts about them. Women are separated from men except at times of mating. Mates are chosen by the Council of Eugenics. Love does not exist, nor do any other human emotions because all opportunity to experience feelings has been removed. Equality 7-2521 refers to everyone as they and himself as we. He has no self-identification because everyone exists for the benefit of everyone else, not for one man alone.
Candles light the world. There are no mirrors so Equality does not know what he looks like. He has been told he is evil. He is too tall. His eyes are too bright. He thinks and it is not allowed. He knows that he is different. He thinks that hard work will redeem his sins, but he has no idea what his sins actually are. Soon, he begins to break rules. He believes he is doing something that is good, but he is not allowed to believe in what he does, only what the group does. He is committing more and more sins. He is learning and for him, further education has been forbidden. When he comes upon Liberty, during his work as street sweeper, he begins to feel something he has not felt before. It awakens something unknown in his body. Before long, she acknowledges similar feelings. They communicate without speaking.
How will their relationship change the existing society? With individualism will the sins of jealousy and greed renew again? Will humans form their own groups and will they shut others out or be inclusive? Will selfishness once again rear its head and survive? What new sins will be birthed by their transgressions? Will free will and choice bring about a new beginning that is doomed to end? Will the story of Adam and Eve be relived with Prometheus and Gaea, aka Equality and Liberty? Will they lose interest in the needs of others to further benefit only themselves? Will there be no happy medium? Will the "absolute and unbridled" thirst for knowledge ultimately corrupt them too, as in the Unmentionable Times? Will the desire to seek their own pleasure destroy their desire for righteousness and compassion? Will they be too naïve to make the necessary changes and march forward into a better future?
Is there a middle ground between dystopia and utopia? Can overregulation be curbed to the point where it does no harm? Can socialism find a way to fund all without benefitting the few at the top who are protected from the tentacles of its policies? Can non-conformity by positive before it becomes too negative and demanding of others for constant approval? Is it like the bible story of Adam and Eve? Will the sins of Gaea and Prometheus benefit or injure the new world they wish to create? If obsession with self becomes more prevalent, does it always mean selfishness will be the end result? Can obsession be prevented?
This book makes one think hard about society and its needs. In this brief little tale, the sins of our current society are evident. Our history is being rewritten, revised, as I write. Political Correctness demands it, as it has curbed free speech as well. Some think they have the one right way for all and demand to be followed. If they don't get there way they find means to achieve it that may not be politic. Where the many ruled, times are changing, as in the tale. Now the individual has begun to take a supreme place in the dialogue of the day. Small groups of individuals band together and rise up, like Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter. They demand that everyone agree with their ideas or they riot or commit acts of civil disobedience which go unpunished. Some ideas are "over thought". Fear rules most of our daily lives; there is the fear of terrorism, of some uses of science as in cloning and stem cell research, of some religious beliefs, some life choices, some alternate lifestyles, of the unknown, of change, and of those that make rules for others but exempt themselves. Is our Council of Elders, i.e. Congress, guilty of making too many rules, or of not following those they made? Will Americans have to find a place to "hide" to find peace and freedom eventually, like Equality and Liberty eventually did? What awaits us in the future?
Review: Anthem by Ayn Rand.
A very short book of 105 pages but a enjoyable read. Well written and a up-scale comprehensible style for Ayn Rand's fictional, futuristic, collective society theme on objectivism. The story is concise and powerful rather than a celebration of the human spirit or soul. Her message stresses the uniqueness that makes us individuals, makes us think as rational beings, using reason, intellect and discovering the word "I" instead of "We". She draws us into the story, makes the reader care about her characters and makes us receptive to the morals of right and wrong.
The story starts with men who are separated into groups by the World Council, which their motto is: "We are one in all and all in one. There are no men but the word "We". One, indivisible and forever." Equality 7-2521 is one group who the Council of Vocations designates as street sweeper, singular as "He", not Scholar, not Doctor and not the group Leader. Although he (the group) wants to be a Scholar which, is bad, because wanting something is committing the Sin of Preference.
So Equality 7-2521 performs his duties and while doing so "he" finds a tunnel and discovers items of advance technology and is uncertain if he should announce this to the Council. He (the group) have thought of two points of view. If He reveals what was discovered, it would be a sin but the Council might be happy and promote "Him" or if "He" reveals the discovery would the Council be angry and set stern punishment as whipping of the flesh and being locked up… So, he hesitates for a while…….He (the group) makes a decision…..Does Equality 7-2521 stay as "HE" or does He discover "I" and what it entails….
He has already sinned, but unknown to the Council, by communicating once with "The Golden Ones" which are the women behind the large bushes across the road. "The Golden Ones" will appear again later on in the story. I wish I could tell more of the story but I don't want to give anything away. The story was short but impressionable.
Ayn Rand's philosophy is initiated throughout the book. In this story Rand strives against the bounds of society to fight for the rights of the individual and pushes progress forward in her wonderful style by creating the world a better place. Objectivism may not be a perfect philosophy, but there is a lot of food for thought in Ayn Rand's writing…..
Seductive & exciting. But the idea Rand promotes is as far-fetched a fantasy as the world the main character is reacting to & railing against. I appreciate what her ideas bring to a conversation. But how they take on a life as political philosophy is beyond me.
This is my first foray into Ayn Rand, not really knowing much about her philosophy except its focus on individualism vs collectivism. This is a dystopian novella, originally written in 1937, today's reader may find the story/plot cliched but one must remember those cliches came from these early writers of dystopia. It's a well-written story of a man finding himself rebelling against the post-apocalyptic world he's only known. He's being force-fed happiness and seeing through it now. It ends happily enough for him and a mate he meets of like-mindedness who escape. However, unlike dystopian books written today Rand had a purpose and agenda for writing her story. The last two chapters summarise what was wrong with this society they lived in (her thoughts on socialism) then continues with how the main character will build a better future (based on Rand's philosophy). I find her "individualism" to be similar to today's "libertarianism" and frankly disagree with all it stands for since they make man his own God. However, her observations on socialism and what have come to be predictions speak volumes on our world today where the "We" use "groupthink" to merge socialist ideas into realities in our present sorry society. I'm rather interested in reading more Rand, not that I agree with her individualistic, capitalist ideologies but I find her warnings of socialism prophetic and wonder whether I'll find her other observations while living through such an era enlightening to me as I continue my own fight against such regimes and ideologies.

Equality 7-2521 lives in the Dark Ages of the future, where all decisions are made by committee, all people live in collectives, all traces of individualism have been wiped out. But the spark of individual thought and freedom still burns in Equality 7-2521, a passion which he has been taught to call sinful. In a purely egalitarian world, he dares to stand forth from the herd -- to think and choose for himself, to discover electricity, and to love the woman of his choice. Now he has been marked for death for committing the ultimate sin: in a world where the great "we" reign supreme, he has rediscovered the lost and holy word "I". This provocative book is an anthem sung in praise of man's ego.… (more)

Like a lot of people I started taking this after Angela Rippon's TV programme which talked about the benefits of taking inulin. When I first started taking it I didn't have a 'base line' to compare its effectiveness but I started taking this product a few months ago. I have since had my visceral body fat measured and will use this as a base line (I had no idea unfortunately if it had had an effect up to that point); in a year I will be able to compare when I next have my test. However, having said that - it can only be doing me good and reading other reviews I am going to continue taking it. I actually like mine stirred into yoghurt which isn't to everyone's taste and it can get a bit lumpy but to me the lumps even taste good! I know it's doing me good - you can't see what's going on inside you so in a year's time it will be interesting to see whether my visceral fat percentage has lowered! Meanwhile, great product and I shall persevere!Goes Well With:Yoghurt (if stirred really well) Water It's pretty tasteless so I guess you can put it with anything
Easy to spred on cereal or within smoothies. Seems to be effective.Goes Well With:Cereals
Very satisfied with service and product.Time will tell if the product does its job.
Given a 3 star rating because just started using produce so no visible results as yet.Goes Well With:I use it with smoothies and sprinkle it in my hot drinks and food.
Not sure yet whether this does help reduce visceral fat, but it is certainly good for the digestion and has helped family members with IBS. Recommend Goes Well With:On cereal, in drinks
Mixes really easily and is tasteless. Add it to your protein shaker or juice and you will struggle to noticeGoes Well With:Exceed
Unsure how much to take but experimentation has shown that 2 scoops am and pm have sorted IBS problems. Not sure about inner fat without a scan but well worth using for the previous reason.Goes Well With:Any liquid although needs more mixing in milk
Received very quickly. A good value product. Need to learn how to mix it with cold water to avoid formation of lumps. Stir very quickly immediately it is added to water. Once mastered this works very well. Very happy to recommend MyProteinGoes Well With:Best stirred into cold water.
I was one of the many who first saw Inulin on Angela Rippon's documentary and thought I'd try it to keep me regular, since it was cheaper than my usual psyllium husks and had other benefits. It worked great for a month, but then it took a very dramatic turn for the worst. For the last 5 weeks I have been fighting bouts of diarrhoea, a very unsettled feeling in the bowel, dreadful continual wind, and the headaches that I always get alongside tummy problems. I thought I'd had a flare up of IBS which hasn't really affected me for a couple of years. But having read more about Inulin in the last few days in my desperate attempts to settle my bowel I now realise it has been a great irritant over the last few weeks, despite adjusting the dose down to half a teaspoon per day. I have therefore resorted to psyllium husks tablets again and my 'IBS' has cleared up. So, beware, those of you who suffer with IBS, or have done in the past, this product may not suit you. I have narrowly avoided a colonoscopy that my GP referred me for. Thankfully just in time!
Seems to aid weight loss when taken in a decent quantity, recommend a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 heaped tablespoons/day depending on weight. Produces varying quantities of wind and regularity depending on body weight and digestive system. Mixes with all fluids, drinks and foods I have tried hot or cold. Haven't tried mixing it with alcohol. The 1kg bag lasts 2 people more than 6 weeks.
Have been taking it now for 5 weeks all I can say is I am feeling much better I am 81 years old on 1 November so any improvement to my health is very welcome. I intend to carry on with inulin but it will take a long time to finish this 500 grams. Thank you anyway.Goes Well With:my other medicine which is only my thyroid which is under control.
Thought we would try this for 6 months and see if it will reduce visceral fat. So far not so good had to google to find a dosage max 10grams a day. Then it left my stomach blown up and uncomfortable for a week. So left it a week and now take it 3 times a week so far so good. So we will see if it reduces my VF down, at moment it is 10 and want to lower itGoes Well With:Anything as no taste and only 1/2 a teaspoon
I've been taking inulin about six weeks as I am on steroids abd hope it will help with my steroid belly. Too soon to say what the result might be but I'm hoping it is continuing to work on visceral fat. Goes Well With:It is tasteless. I take it in plain water and it dissolves to a tasteless solution.
I first bought Inulin when I saw the BBC program everybody was talking about. In the beginning it really helped me to regulate my bowel movement, but the longer I have used it, the less effective it became and even caused a very serious constipation. I have now stopped taking it and decided to return to it let's say in 2 weeks time. Mayby my organism just got too used to it...
Discovered Inulin on the internet,it worked ,looked around for best quality and price,tried everywhere, my protein came up trumps ,way cheaper than anywhere else for the same if not better quality. live in Spain so delivery is important ,reasonable charges,in UK looked at and took advantage of special offers and free delivery. Cannot fault product or price.Goes Well With:We put it into Coffee and porridge .
Great service from My Protein, fast deliveries, I'm on third month of using the Inulin and already feel results- especially around my waist; I. sure will have to use it for long time and every day. Otherwise I am slim, active and healthy eater.Thank you for perfect product. Regards Ms N
Decided to try this having researched its effectiveness on gut health. It has proved very effective in bulking ones stools when taking a low carbohydrate diet to aid weight loss. I decided to try it out with my father who is not dieting but has issues with his unstable gut health and can confirm a very positive result for him as well. I would advise a slow introduction to the product as wind can be an initial problem but this does resolve as your guts get used to it .Goes Well With:Everything
I've been using this for a couple of months and I'm assured that it is doing its job. Wonderful.
Saw this product on T.V. and thought I would give it a go. Been suffering with a poorly stomach for a while, prescription drugs didn't help. Great Inulin has changed my life, pain has gone away. Easy to order, well packaged, arrived quickly, will definitely be ordering more in the future. Goes Well With:On its own, porridge, soups, curry, if fact anything you eat it can be sprinkled on top, as it is tasteless.
Excellent product to help the digestive system. Quick and easy to mix with food or squash. Goes Well With:Any meal as it mixes a treat
No issues so far, bought it after seeing it mentioned on TV, not sure how I will know it's working at keeping visceral fat at bay.Goes Well With:I use it on fruit and porridge and in cold drinks such as squash
Great product and fast delivery. Product very easy to use and I put it in shakes. Takes a few days for your body to get use to but its great.Goes Well With:Shakes, cereal, porridge
it is a fairly good product, it takes few days but it works pretty well. neutral taste, it mix fair, all in all a fair good in my experience. it would be better if it would be little bit cheaper.
Saw this product recommended by Angela Rippon for reducing internal fat over 6 month period. No info re amount to take and internet very vague re this purpose. One report says diabetics tested with 30g per day reduced blood sugar levels by 10% so that is my aim. Having to work up slowly from 5g (currently on 20g) due to increased bowel activity initially and then flatulence, but seem to be overcoming these side effects. Blood sugar has reduced a bit, but a bit early to have internal fat levels rechecked after only taking for a few weeks. Easy to add to food and no taste noticed.Goes Well With:Sprinkled on breakfast cereals or in porridge, smoothies or shakes
Zero taste and mixes easily with any protein shake
Not sure about how effective it is, as I'm using it in the hope of reducing any visceral fat I may have. However, pleased to say no unpleasant side effects and easy to mix I to, porridge, desserts and drinks to. Would be great to see how Angela Rippen got on after six months of using inulin. I wonder if she's planning a second body scan to review progress and a follow up TV programme?Goes Well With:Porridge, muesli and fruit and yogurt.
This is a long term plan and I will have no idea how its going for at least 6 months it really has no taste and I have had little or no side effects well done
Great service and really like the fact there is no taste to this product. Haven't used it long enough to comment on effectiveness for definite but seems to do the job.
been taking Inulin for five weeks now -25g per day at breakfast --to early to say what good it is doing but for myself I feel less bloated and much fitter and at 73 yrs that makes a difference Goes Well With:any fresh fruit and yogurt or just in a small glass of water with a dash of lime juice .
Tried inulin following recent BBC TV program , good price and powder dissolves easily in water for drink. Have seen slight weight loss and general improvement in health , however have only used for 1-2 weeks so too early to tell of what effect it will ultimately have as suggestion is use over 6 month periodGoes Well With:Water / diluting juice
I brought it because I saw the Angela Rippon show and thought it would do no harm to try, but I must say that it does do one thing and that is keep my bowels regular. As far as fat goes I have no idea if it is doing its job but lets hope time will tell. Goes Well With:porridge
Excellent product. Mixes very well. Easy to take.
Heard great things about this so decided to try. Mixes well, no taste and hope to reap the benefits of this super stuff!!
Really pleased with the powder, goes into anything and noticed a difference the next day. A very easy way to ensure fiber in your diet and keep the fat tissue around your organs lean.Goes Well With:Anything, food drinks, because it doesn't taste of anything it is so versatile.
Very good product, good quality, definitely recommend
Without wanting to sound disgusting this product really works in producing a better No2. I disolve it in my morning tea or coffee. My only con is the size of the package. I think it's too big for the amount of contents. When using the provided scoop you get lots of product on your hand.Goes Well With:Anything it's tasteless
I first came across inulin on the TV programme "How to Stay Young", when Angela Rippon was advised to use inulin to reduce her visceral fat. I subsequently found a research paper --- "A randomized controlled trial: the effect of inulin on weight management and ectopic fat in subjects with prediabetes" --- that concluded that "Inulin may have a two-pronged effect on the risk of diabetes by 1) promoting weight loss 2) reducing intrahepatocellular and intramyocellular lipid in people with prediabetes independent of weight loss." Inulin is very easy to take. I just add it to a mug of tea in the same way that I would add sugar. It has a pleasant, mildly sweet taste. I started at one scoop (3.5g) of inulin per day, and I'm slowly building up to the levels (~30g per day) used in research trials. I haven't had any significant problems with flatulence, but I was already on quite a high fibre diet so my digestive system was probably already in a good state to tolerate --- and, I hope, benefit from --- the addition of inulin to my diet. It's much too early for me to comment on inulin's effectiveness ....... and I may never know with any certainty whether it's having a beneficial effect on me as an individual. You need proper randomised, double-blinded scientific trials to establish the effectiveness of this sort of dietary intervention.
Didn't know what to expect as this was a first time buy but pleasantly surprised. Very fine powder so mixes with anything - plain water or sprinkle on food. Hardly any taste but sweet, so wouldn't put on savoury food. Use in baking too. Just wish l could monitor it's effectiveness. Goes Well With:Anything non savoury, food or drink.
Easy to use, only been using it for 2 weeks. Very disappointed on instructions only comment on the package 1 1/2 scoop ... no mention of how often, with food or not.
Mixes really well - too early to tell if I will reap the benefits, but after hearing good things about the effects of Inulin, I was intrigued to try it! I was worried it would taste disgusting, but you can't taste it at all! I mix mine with a glass of water each day and it tastes fine!Goes Well With:Water
I bought this product after watching the BBC programme about staying young with Angela Rippon. Being slightly overweight i was worried about internal body fat around heart etc and so thought i'd give it a try, on the premis that it might do me good. Did a lot of back ground reading (which is always a good idea!) and it seemed safe with few side effects. So bought this from a reputable online firm (no high street store by me sell it) My Protein, and am so glad i did. Firstly the product is amazing, it taste when mixed with water (1 teaspoon in water); like very mild fruit sugar. More amazing though is that it has helped me lose 8lb in 4 week. For me this is due mainly i think because it just reduces my appitite. It might be doing something clever inside but i just feel more satisfied after eating and am not craving sweet snacks during the day. It was so effective during the first few weeks i also add some to my sons milk shakes, to help him control his weight. Again it just seems to reduce appetite for us. If it is also reducing internal fat then thats a bonus. Glad i used "My Protein", very careful what i give my son, doubly so with medicine (which this isn't) and suppliments, but i am confident that M Protein supply me a high quality product. Their customer service is amazing and I am so grateful i found this company and this product.Goes Well With:Water and Vimto Milk shakes with fruit
I have only been using inulin for a couple of weeks - all I can say is that I feel better. I don't have any physical proof of it - no weight loss, no miraculous skin tightening or the reversal of the effects of gravity BUT I really FEEL better. Let's give it another little while and I'll report back again. AS for taste - there is none. I usually have it in my first cup of green tea in the morning and it doesn'y efffect the taste or texture of it.Goes Well With:Anything I eat or drink !
Bought this product as it is recommended to reduce visceral fat (around the organs) with long term use, so there's no visible evidence that it works, you've got to trust the research! It's a very fine odourless and tasteless powder so is easily taken in food (I mix it into yoghurt) although I haven't tried it in a drink/liquid. The only negative is the packaging, it comes in a sachet with a small scoop which means putting your whole hand into the bottom of the sachet every time and getting covered in the (slightly sticky) powder which wastes the product. It needs to be supplied in a tub. Goes Well With: Yoghurt
It's difficult to review a product properly when the effects may not be fully gained for several months. But the product is exactly what I expected, it mixes well within shakes, I've yet to cook with it although I don't force any issues having used it cold in mixes. Goes Well With:Shakes (cold)
As stated there is no taste. It is too early to tell whether the product is effective yet as I have only been taking it for a few days. Although the product is light weight and resealable it is impossible to access it without covering your hand in the fine powder, I have therefore transferred it to an airtight plastic box. One further thing, I could not dissolve it in juice as it stayed in a solid lump, however it does dissolve in boiling water which can then be topped up with either cold water or juice.Goes Well With:Water or any juice
My husband is getting on fine with this product but I'm afraid my body is not liking it at all. I have to rush to the toilet up to four times instead of my usual controlled one and sorry to be graphic, but it is explosive! I will give it a few weeks and then try a lower dose and see how it goes. Otherwise, it is easy to use, tasteless and effective.Goes Well With:Fruit juices.
Just bought our second batch of this and I would recommend it. Delivery is super fast both times I have ordered. I found it easier to sprinkle on food especially cereal and there is no taste to it. It can be mixed with shakes or water just my prefrence is sprinkle. After a few weeks of using you really can tell the diffrence in how you feel. It dose at first give you a little wind- but I found that settled after a week and keeps you regular also. Well worth a try and the best value I have foundGoes Well With:cereal,shakes or water
Our order came promptly and well packaged. Don't really know the benefits and probably won't know in the short time. Just hoping to reduce internal fat if I have any? After watching TV programme about the benefits of inulin, we decided it may do some good and won't do any harm as its only a food supplement. Goes Well With:I find it dissolves easily in my hot coffee or tea.
For a diabetic, like myself, this was unusable as there is high sugar content.

Dr. Vo Tri Thanh is the new Chair for the Vietnamese committee for PECC. Dr. Vo is currently the senior expert of the Central Institute for Economic Management (CIEM).
Dr. Vo mainly undertakes research and provides consultation on issues related to trade liberalization and international economic integration and macroeconomic policies. His other areas of interests include institutional reforms, financial system and economic development. He has received a bachelor of science from the Moscow State University, and a master's degree and PhD in economics from the Australian National University.
He takes over the position from Mr. Vu Tien Loc, former VNCPEC Chair.
Development of ports and new maritime routes are crucial elements to enhance connectivity and opportunities for economic growth in the Asia-Pacific. The region's economies depend heavily on maritime trade enabled by reliable, efficient and cost-effective shipping.
This project is led by the France (Pacific Territories) committee for PECC (FPTPEC) and it consists of a set of three seminars. It focuses on the contribution of the maritime dimension to intra-regional connectivity, sustainability and drivers of growth for the PECC economies and small island states. Under the broad theme of 'Managing the Blue Economy,' priority attention has been given to factors leading to the emergence of new trade flow patterns, the associated trade routes, and optimization of port operation capabilities to cope with the ups and downs in trade volumes and tourism throughout the region.

In 1994, APEC's Economic Leaders committed to achieve the goal of free and open trade and investment in the Asia-Pacific by no later than 2020. Less than five years before this deadline, APEC finds itself within an increasingly crowded international architecture and operating in a more complex and dynamic region. Combined, these factors not only compel us to boost our efforts to achieve the Bogor Goals, but also to start developing a post-2020 vision that identifies and anchors itself in APEC's unique value-add. 2020, an iconic year for APEC, therefore presents an opportunity to redefine and reinforce APEC's role. And to get this right by 2020, we need to start the conversation now.
Peruvian Vice President Mercedes Araoz delivered a keynote speech at the Dialogue and acknowledged having been part of PECC's Trade Policy Forum to work on C...Read more...

method of applying these inks.
Because of their unusual chemical and physical characteristics the fluorine-containing thermoplastic polymers are widely used in where their properties are best exploited. Among the most outstanding of the properties of the fluorine-containing thermoplastic polymers, such as polymers of trifluorochloroethylene, is chemical inertness. Thus, these polymers may be exposed to a wide variety of oxidizing, reducing and solvent-type reagents such as, fuming nitric acid, hydrazine, and aniline with no apparent effect on the polymer. In addition to their high degree of chemical stability, these polymers possess high thermal stability, excellent electrical properties and are readily molded into various useful items.

It is another object of this invention to provide an ink which has good adhesive properties when applied to halogen-containing plastics and which sets at room temperature.
It is another object of this invention to provide an ink which is stable at high temperatures.
It is one of the more particular objects of this invention, to provide an ink composition which can be used to mark polymers of trifluorochloroethylene and tetrafluoroethylene.
Another object of this invention is to providea new and improved ink composition. i 1
Various other objects and advantages of the present invention willbecome apparent to those skilled inthe polymer of trifluorochloroethylene inan oxygenated. or-
ganic solvent. V v i i The copolymersof trifluorochloroethylene which are used as pigment binders in the inks of this invention'are normally solid, have softening points above about 150, C. and are soluble in oxygenated organic solvents. This group contemplates trifluorochloroethylene copolymerized with halogenated olefins suchas vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, vinyl fluoride, vinylidene fluoride, 1,1-fiuoro chloroethylene and trifluoroethylene. A particularly suitable binder is a copolymer of trifluorochloroethylene and vinylidene chloride whereintrifluorochloroethylene is present in an amount between about 5 and about 95 mol percent. Preferably, the trifiuorochloroethylenevinylidene fluoride copolymers contain trifluorochloroethylene in an amount between about 20' and about 80 mol percent. Of course, the characteristics of the binder are dependent upon the mol concentration of trifluorochloroethylene. Thus, if between about 20 and about 69 mol percent of trifluorochloroethylene, preferably about 50 mol percent, is present, the binder will have properties characteristic of elastomeric materials, whereas if between above about 69 and about 80 mol percent of trifluorochloroethylene, preferably about mol percent, is present, the binder will have the characteristics of a resinous material. In most applications,the preferred pigment binder is that which has resinous properties, that is a copolymer containing trifluorochloroethylene in an amount between above about 69 and about mol percent.
Since the process of this invention relates to new and novel ink compositions, their preparation and use, unnecessarily detailed description of the methods of preparation of the binder is not warranted. Therefore, only methods of preparation of the preferred resinous and elas'tomeric binders are given' although by employing substantially identicalpolymerizationsystems but with different monomer feed ratios and polymerization times any copolymer in the range contemplated by this invention may be prepared. i i
The preferred resinous. binder may be prepared by the procedure given 'below'using the following watersuspension type recipe.

In the formulation of the inks of this invention, any suitable dye, pigment or lake, may be used. The term pigment as used herein includes dyes, lakes and inorganic pigments. The pigment may be soluble or insoluble in the binder and if insoluble, it is preferably finely-divided and intimately dispersed within the binder. Generally, insoluble pigments are preferred since they are opaque, do not bleed and are more heat stable than the soluble pigments. However, in some instances the use of a soluble pigment might be advantageous, for example where a transparent mark or indicia is desired. Any colored pigment may be used, although usually organic compounds are preferred over inorganic compounds because their colors are more intense and, therefore, less is required. Illustrative of the pigments which may be employed are the various phthalocyanine, azo, anthraquinone, benzidine, and pyrazolone compounds and derivatives. A list of particularly suitable pigments is presented in the table below, but it is to be clearly understood that this list is representative and not unnecessarily limiting. These pigments are substantially insoluble in the solvent and the binder.

CF CFCl Representative of the soluble pigments which may be employed are the various indigo dyes such as Ciba Yellow 36, Brilliant Indigo 4B, Ciba Green G, Ciba Violet A, Helindon Orange R, etc. the Alizarine dyes such as Alizarine Cyanine Green, Alizarine Blue, Alizarine Orange and the quinoline dyes such as Chinoline Yellow. These dyes are described and methods of preparation are given in Organic Chemistry Fieser and Fieser, second edition, pages 907, 910-312 and 916-918.
I In employing the inks of this invention,the binder is preferably dissolved in a solvent. Suitable solvents or thinners are the oxygenated organic solvents in some of which the binder is completely soluble, while in others it is partially soluble. Thus, the binder is completely soluble in tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydro-2-methyl furan,
tetrahydropyran, 3-chlorotetrahydrofuran and dioxane.
Among the solvents in which the binder is partially soluble are ethyl acetate, isobutyl propionate, amyl acetate, methyl ethyl ketone, isophorone, di-isobutyl ketone, cyclohexanone, mesityl oxide, l-chloro l-nitroethane and 2-chloro 2-nitropropane. These latter solvents when mixed with a solvent in which the binder is completely soluble, will form a solvent mixture which will completely dissolve the binder. The use of solvent mixtures is desirable in order to control drying rate. A particularly suitable solvent is tetrahydrofuran; a particularly suitable mixture is tetrahydrofuran and dioxane. Preferably equal amounts by volume of each solvent constitute the mixture although the solvent in which the binder is completely soluble may constitute from about 25 percent to about 95 percent of the mixture.
In compounding the inks of this invention, the binder is preferably first dissolved in a suitable solvent such as tetrahydrofuran after which the pigment is admixed with the dissolved binder. Admixture of the pigment with the dissolved binder may be effected by using any of the conventional mixing and blending equipment such as a three roll paint mill, colloid mill, and pebble mill, etc. The range of concentration of the various ingredients of the ink will vary over relatively wide limits depending upon the desired thickness of the ink mark, the intensity of color and the method by which the ink is to be applied. Generally, the ratio of binder to pigment will be between about 20:1 and about 1:2. Preferably, the ratio will be between about :1 and about 1:1 while a particularly suitable ratio is between about 4:1 and about 1:1. The solvent or thinner is used in an amount between about 25% and about 99% by weight, depending particularly on the process which is to be used in applying the ink. A particularly suitable concentration of solvent is between about 50 and about 95%. Obviously, a solvent is required where the marking process is based on the use of liquids. However, some marking processes are best suited to the use of solid marking compositions, for example, the hot stamp process. In this case a solvent free pigmented film from 1 to 5 mils thick may be used as the marking composition.
The copolymers which serve as a binder for the ink of this invention may be treated in such a way as to induce cross-linking of the polymer chain after the ink has been applied. This cross-linking modifies the properties of the copolymer and enhances its suitability for use in certain applications. The cross-linked polymers are usually insoluble but may swell in solvent, have increased strength, toughness, heat resistance, less tendency to offset and greater chemical resistance. Generoxide or an inorganic polysulfide.- The peroxy-type compounds include both' organic and inorganic compounds which contain oxygen atoms directly linked to oxygen atoms, and should be stable below about 50 C. or else they will cause cross-linking while they are being blended into the copolymer. Among the organic compounds are the acyl and acyl peroxides and hydroperoxides such as ditertiary butyl peroxide, di-lauryl peroxide, di-benzol peroxide, and ditertiary butyl hydroperoxide. The organic peroxy-type compounds also include peresters having either organic or inorganic peroxy oxygen. The former would include such compounds as alkyl, aryl perbenzoates, the latter would include alkyl and aryl persulfates. Among the inorganic peroxy compounds are hydrogen peroxide and metal peroxides, such as lead, barium, and zinc peroxide. Among the basic oxides which may be used as linking agents are magnesium oxide, zinc oxide, and lead oxide. Among the inorganic polysulfides which may be used are the alkali metal polysulfides and ammonium polysulfides. In order to effect the cross-linking reaction, it is necessary that the polymer containing cross-linking agent be heated for a period of time. Generally, the polymer is heated at a temperature between about 100 and about 200 (3., depending upon the decomposition temperature of the cross-linking agent, for a period of time between about 1 hour and about 48 hours. Since the incorporation of the cross-linking agent within the copolymer is usually effected by mechanical means which generate heat, the cross-linking agent is preferably added last, that is, after the pigment has been dispersed. A particularly valuable cross-linking reaction employing diamines, such as ethylene diamine, diethylene triamine, hexamethylene diamine, diamino stilbene etc., is described in my prior and copending application Serial No. 372,159, filed August 3, 1953, now U. S. Patent No. 2,793,200, issued May 21, 1957.
The use of polytrifiuorochloroethylene oils as a base for preparing concentrate pigment dispersions is also within the scope of this invention. These oils are prepared by the methods disclosed in U. S. Patent No. 2,639,907 to William T. Miller, issued April 28, 1953. In this connection the pigment is dispersed in theoil in a highly concentrated amount, that is, in an amount between about 50 and about by weight. The pigmented oil is subsequently added to the clear resin solution in an amount sufficient to yield the desired binder pigment ratio.
In order to illustrate the process of this invention, the following examples of ink formulations are presented below. These inks were prepared by admixing the indicated pigment in the resin solution in a pebble mill. In each case the binder was a 75/25 copolymer of trifluorochloroethylene and vinylidene fluoride. Unless otherwise indicated concentration is given in parts by weight. These data are offered for purposes of illustration and are not to be construed as unnecessarily limiting.

Ink Nos. 3 and 4 represent concentrated inks which were 2,see,72a
thinnedwith dioxane prior to use by adding a, quantity of dioxane sutficient to raise the concentration" of dioxane to about. 58 parts. Ink Nos. 6 and 15 were applied using a silk screen technique. Ink Nos. 7 through 14 and 18 were applied by stamping on films of a homopolymer of trifluorochloroethylene. Ink No. 16 was applied by a stenciling technique. Inks Nos. 19 and 21 were applied to sheets, of tetrafiuoroethylene. As was indicated above, these inks can be blended with a quantity of a liquid polymer of trifiuorochloroethyiene as shown by ink No. 20which containedl part of such oil in addition to the other enumerated constituents.
Each of the above inked surfaces was carefully examined with respect to its adhesive characteristics, its resistance to abrasion and the clarityof the ink mark. Each of the inks so examined were found to be excellent in all respects. Examination was made by fixing adhesive Scotch tape over the ink mark and thenquickly removing the Scotch tape and noting whether or not any of the ink adhered to the tape. Abrasion resistance was determined by rubbing the marked surface with a pencil eraser and with a coarse cloth. Examination of cross-sections of the ink mark established thatthe mark firmly adhered to the surface of the marked article and did not penetrate the surface. Each of the above inks was applied at room temperature and was force dried by heating at about 110 C. Since the ink dries by evaporation of the solvent, the ink may be applied and allowed to dry at room temperature although it is also possible and sometimes preferable to accelerate the drying of the ink by heating at slightly elevated temperatures, that is, temperature up to about 150 C. In the event that the binder is to be cross-linked heating is of course required.
As was indicated above, the viscosity of the inks of this invention may be modified by varying the concentration of the resin or the solvent. However, at times it will be desirable, particularly where thexotropic inks are required, to add a. thickening agent, such as bentonite clay, silica, etc. When this type of material is used it is usually added. in an amount sufficient to obtain the I desired characteristics. However, it is preferred to add not more than about 20 percent and preferably less than about 10 percent.
While the inks of this inventionare particularly suited for marking polymers of trilluorochloroethylene and tetrafluoroethylene and while the use of these inks has been described with particular reference thereto, it is to be understood and is, therefore, within the scope of this invention that these inks may also beapplied to polymers of vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, vinyl fluoride or, A
in general, to any solid thermoplastic halogenated polymer.
variouswalterations and modifications of the invention and its. aspects may become. apparent, to those skilled in the artwithout departing from the scope of this invention. 1

From the acclaimed author of All Quiet on the Western Front comes Three Comrades, a harrowing novel that follows a group of friends as they cope with upheaval in Germany between World Wars I and II.
The year is 1928. On the outskirts of a large German city, three young men are earning a thin and precarious living. Fully armed young storm troopers swagger in the streets. Restlessness, poverty, and violence are everywhere. For these three, friendship is the only refuge from the chaos around them. Then the youngest of them falls in love, and brings into the group a young woman who will become a comrade as well, as they are all tested in ways they can have never imagined.
Written with the same overwhelming simplicity and directness that made All Quiet on the Western Front a classic, Three Comrades portrays the greatness of the human spirit, manifested through characters who must find the inner resources to live in a world they did not make, but must endure.
"The world has a great writer in Erich Maria Remarque. He is a craftsman of unquestionably first rank, a man who can bend language to his will. Whether he writes of men or of inanimate nature, his touch is sensitive, firm, and sure."—The New York Times Book Review

Meet the Author
Erich Maria Remarque, who was born in Germany, was drafted into the German army during World War I. Through the hazardous years following the war he worked at many occupations: schoolteacher, small-town drama critic, race-car driver, editor of a sports magazine. His first novel, All Quiet on the Western Front, was published in Germany in 1928. A brilliant success, selling more than a million copies, it was the first of many literary triumphs. When the Nazis came to power, Remarque left Germany for Switzerland. He rejected all attempts to persuade him to return, and as a result he lost his German citizenship, his books were burned, and his films banned. He went to the United States in 1938 and became a citizen in 1947. He later lived in Switzerland with his second wife, the actress Paulette Goddard. He died in September 1970.

Those who want to grow intellectually and emotionally, and to understand and appreciate life, should read this book without a day of delay. Although I was a skeptic, Remarque instantly siezed my imagination with his brilliant writing style, realistic portrayal of a world so foreign to me, and empathetic insight on the human personality. The plot is easy to go along with, and after reading this tragically ending novel, the reader will surely know what is true frindship, love, and companionship.
Three friends returned from WW1 coping with society in post war Germany try to push all troubles away through friendship & booze. Every character leaves a mark every word serves a purpose every begining has an end except for the one that leaves u readin to the last page. Weep. The story of life, the story of humanity the story of realism summed up in fiction. Remarque, the artist, has written somethng so easy to follow yet so deep in emotions that only you will feel you will love and you will long for everything you have longed for before. ENJOY
My parents made me read it last year I was in 5th grade. It is a great book with a great plot. A must read for everyone young and old.
Amazing. Very special. Revealing the true sense of friendship and love. The struggle for life and refusal of dearest things for that very life is one of the leading themes I found in the book for myself. Wish everyone read it and enriched through it
what can I say?wonderful wonderful book.sad,it makes you cry,but also it makes you live beautiful hours by reading it.aa great story of friendship,love and sad reality of the post war life.you'll never get tired of reading this book-sparks of humor in it as well!!!!! above five stars,indeed
I would say this is a very touching love story. Yes, Germany between the wars is mentioned and depicted this and there, but this is not the main theme. The love story is so pure, so romantic and down to earth at the same time, you would like to read it again and again. All characters are on their right places, the men are strong, supportive and understanding, the women are tender, helpless and enchanting, as it should be in this world, or isn't it?

1 simple thing that could save your life when hiking

It's a foundational question for the bigger picture of our lives, but it's also a critical foundation for our outdoors adventures as well.

Simple Standard Deviation Program without an Array
I'm in an introductory Java course and our first assignment has me stumped. It will read a series of numeric scores (integers) until -1 is read, then calculate standard deviation. We also must determine the highest score, average, and other numbers. But the catch is no arrays. I don't know how to find standard deviation without recording down the set of numbers. :confused:
Just to make sure I have the right concept of SD, don't I first have to find the mean, and then subtract it from each score? Square each number and add them up, divide by n-1, then find the square root.
sqrt{ sigma[(x - xbar)^2] / n-1}
Re: Simple Standard Deviation Program without an Array
ok i figured it out. a different formula can be used...
sqrt{ [ n(x1^2 + x2^2...) - (x1 + x2...)^2] / n(n-1) }
no need for array, thanks!

Jo Jo Dan Willing To Face Joel Julio For Ortiz Shot
By Mark Vester
Boxing manager Chris Ganescu had informed BoxingScene.com that welterweight contender Jo Jo Dan (28-1, 15KOs) is willing to face Joel Julio (37-4, 31KOs) for the right to challenge WBC champion Victor Ortiz. Julio recently returned to 147-pounds and challenged Ortiz during a BoxingScene interview. When Dan heard about Julio's challenge, he advised the Colombian boxer to "wait his turn." At the same time, Dan, who is ranked #4 by the WBC, is willing to give Julio a shot to secure a top five ranking and get close to an Ortiz shot.

In fact, let's just re-hack everything! Different types for the Elite Four and Gyms! Re-do all the trainers! New citys anyone? (Note: this was obviously exaggerated.)
If you open the door to hacking, how is it fair that you, me, or anyone else gets to decide how far. If you can hack Pokemon, then why not TMs? Or trainers? Or items?
Sorry that I'm late to the party, just had a bit of input. In response to this: most challenges have a rule that says something along the lines of "you may hack in a low leveled Pokemon to start the game with." or something along those lines. A lot of people think along the lines of "Ponyta is my favorite Pokemon, I wonder what the game would be like if I started with one?" People, myself included, do not hack other Pokemon into the Elite Four, nor do they redo trainers, and put in cities.
As for hacking in newer generations of Pokemon, in my 2+ years at Pokecommunity, and probably about 1,250 posts in the challenge forum, I have yet to see someone hack in a newer generation of Pokemon into an older game for a challenge. I'm not saying it can't be done, I'm saying that nobody has ever done that, and personally I doubt they would. You're right when you say that there are plenty of Pokemon in the current generation. However, I, for example, did nothing wrong in putting a Snorlax in early in the game. He is a Snorlax. Putting in a code to get a Snorlax early in the game does not change Pokemon to look and behave like a Snorlax, it simply changes the data to say "yes, there are Snorlaxes found on this route and they are found 100% of the time in the wild.
Yes, what we are doing is hacking. However, for the purpose of this challenge, the hacking that we are doing should not be considered wrong. And this is the only hacking that people ever do for challenges. If this challenge was a speed run or something, then putting in low level Pokemon of your choice should and would be illegal. However, all that should matter in your challenge is that the trainer obtained a Sandslash, regardless of where, and he trained it completely legally, and taught it completely legal moves. This Sandslash grew strong enough to defeat the Elite Four by itself.

Mass layoffs down in November from a year ago
December 26, 2002
Employers initiated 2,150 mass layoff actions in November 2002, as measured by new filings for unemployment insurance benefits during the month. Each action involved at least 50 persons from a single establishment, and the number of workers involved totaled 240,028.
In November 2001, there were 2,721 mass layoff events involving 295,956 workers. In January through November 2002, both the total number of events, 17,799, and initial claims, 1,980,856, were lower than in January-November 2001 (19,027 and 2,245,969, respectively).
These data are from the Mass Layoff Statistics program. For more information, see news release USDL 02-697, "Mass Layoffs in November 2002" (PDF) (TXT).

AUSTIN - Texas A & M has its 12th Man.
All In The Family
This year's Lady Eagles team is full of parents with collegiate playing or coaching experience.
Sophomore Casey Land's mother, Angela, played for West Texas A & M.
Junior Aubrey Pedigo's mother, Sandy, played for WT.
Senior Jade Tinner's mom, Teresa, played for the Lady Buffs.
Those moms - Angela Seay, Sandy Norton and Teresa Tinner - were teammates.
Kenee Borchardt, mother of sophomore Taryn Borchardt, played at Lubbock Christian.
Assistant coach Johnny Hampton has two daughters on this year's Canyon team, senior Brittany and freshman Nicole.
Head girls track coach and former Lady Eagles standout Deede Grimes has two daughters on the team, senior Whitney and junior Katie.
Canyon has its 16th Player.
Not difficult to figure out who it is. Casey Land, a sophomore guard for the Lady Eagles, doesn't have a varsity uniform
She still suits up in her No. 31 junior varsity uni.
"It's funny," she said. "Coach (Joe Lombard) told me, you wear a JV uniform or you don't come up."
She might not have a varsity uniform, but the daughter of former West Texas A & M standout and current Canyon Junior High coach Angela (Seay) Land has a sense of humor.
Lombard this year chose to have 16 players on his varsity roster. That was challenging enough without worrying about finding an extra uniform.
"It's cool. We joke around a lot. It's one of those things, and you accept it," he said. "Actually, I kind of enjoy it."
Land played JV and varsity games during the regular season and was told by Lombard she was going along for the playoff ride. Keep the depth thing going. Get her experience against great teams in big arenas for next season.
"It's a great accomplishment," she said.
Mom, she said, is proud of her but told her that getting the last spot on the varsity wasn't the end of the story.
"She told me that it doesn't stop her with the 16th man thing," Land said. "I've got to keep working for it. I have been working hard."
Land said she's a different player than her mother was.
"She was a lot more of a passer and I'm more of a shooter, so we're different kinds of players. But her advice still is good," Land said.
Mom remains first all-time in assists (694) during her four years at WT.
Land got into Thursday's semifinal against Navasota. She got to play in spacious Frank Erwin Center before 6,000 fans, maybe more by game's end.
"Twelve point five seconds," she said, laughing. "But I had the ball in my hands when the game ended."
With two more seasons ahead of her, she'll probably get the ball a lot more.
