|Modern-day Laos has its roots in the ancient Lao kingdom of Lan Xang, established in the 14th century under King FA NGUM. For 300 years Lan Xang had influence reaching into present-day Cambodia and Thailand, as well as over all of what is now Laos. After centuries of gradual decline, Laos came under the domination of Siam (Thailand) from the late 18th century until the late 19th century when it became part of French Indochina. The Franco-Siamese Treaty of 1907 defined the current Lao border with Thailand. In 1975, the communist Pathet Lao took control of the government ending a six-century-old monarchy and instituting a strict socialist regime closely aligned to Vietnam. A gradual, limited return to private enterprise and the liberalization of foreign investment laws began in 1988. Laos became a member of ASEAN in 1997 and the WTO in 2013.

The government of Laos, one of the few remaining one-party communist states, began decentralizing control and encouraging private enterprise in 1986. The results, starting from an extremely low base, were striking - growth averaged 6% per year from 1988-2008 except during the short-lived drop caused by the Asian financial crisis that began in 1997. Laos' growth exceeded 7% per year during 2008-12. Despite this high growth rate, Laos remains a country with an underdeveloped infrastructure, particularly in rural areas. It has a basic, but improving, road system, and limited external and internal land-line telecommunications. Electricity is available 75% of the country. Laos' economy is heavily dependent on capital-intensive natural resource exports. The labor force, however, still relies on agriculture, dominated by rice cultivation in lowland areas, which accounts for about 30% of GDP and 75% of total employment. Economic growth has reduced official poverty rates from 46% in 1992 to 26% in 2010. The economy also has benefited from high-profile foreign direct investment in hydropower, copper and gold mining, logging, and construction though some projects in these industries have drawn criticism for their environmental impacts. Laos gained Normal Trade Relations status with the US in 2004. On the fiscal side, Laos initiated a VAT tax system in 2010. Simplified investment procedures and expanded bank credits for small farmers and small entrepreneurs will improve Laos'' economic prospects. The government appears committed to raising the country''s profile among investors, opening the country''s first stock exchange in 2011 and participating in regional economic cooperation initiatives. Laos was admitted to the WTO in 2012. The World Bank has declared that Laos'' goal of graduating from the UN Development Program''s list of least-developed countries by 2020 is achievable.

""Balanced in aggressive way" that was the impression by our mighty ljokerl on his FXT90 review. This is fairly old IEM by JVC and has been replaced by the FXT100 and FXT200/208. Not going to write a long review about the sound quality here since F XT90 is one of the most popular among head-fier and most people agreed on just how good this IEM is. I have been contemplating on buying FXT90..." --AzimAkbar
JVC/Victor FX700
" I'm not going to waste your time talking about accessories, fit, packaging, what songs I listened to or any other boring stuff because frankly none of that stuff matters when it comes to the JVC HA-FX700's. The only thing that matters is the unbelievably good sound coming from these, so without further adieu- The sound: MASSIVE. That's the first thought that comes..." --shotgunshane
"Introduction JVC is a company of inventors. They are well known for unique audio technologies like a speaker made of carbon implemented on JVC HA-FXC51 and the first vertical dual-dynamic drivers planted on the HA-FXT90, which I happen to own. I love the FXT90 for its aggressive and upfront sound. However at the same the FXT90 can be fatiguing after a while and I wished the FXT90 successor..." --Gandasaputra
" Introduction Having had extensive experience with the previous Wood series of JVC, FX500 and FX700, I was exited to see what the company had planned for this next iteration. They introduced FX650 to replace the FX500 and FX750 to replace the FX700, in addition to announcing the new flagship, FX850. Thanks to user James444, I was able to hear all 3 IEMs of this new..." --Inks
"I had the FX101s for a short period of time and I was really enjoying them. That was until something went wrong in the left earbud. Most say its a cable connection fault. No matter what, build quality is a cause for concern in these, especially the cable. The plastic body although makes them light, also makes them more susceptible to damage. Since they were gone I got the JVC FX1X instead. A..." --topgear
JVC HA-FXZ100 In-Ear Headphone
" These must have been designed with some singular purpose in mind. They did not sound right to me in terms of balance, dynamics and detail. Very bass heavy. A lot of technology but ergonomics and fit suffer imo. I like the attempt and the price of these and recommend for those who like to investigate the extremes of bass heavy sound. They might be just what you're looking for, Give 'em a try, " --thelostMIDrange
JVC HAFXC51R New Micro HD in-Ear Headphones (Red)
" I just put these in my ears and the verdict is......thin sounding ;( atleast before EQ I bought these by request from a Head-Fi'r, and regardless of that characteristic, im still not disappointed :) The bass reminds me of the AKG 701's, practically non present.

Stay warm and comfortable in cool-to-cold conditions in this 80% merino/20% Capilene® fiber blend.
Exceptionally soft, naturally breathable and warm even when wet, merino wool regulates your body temperature, has a great warmth-to-weight ratio, naturally controls odor and stretches as you move.
Our merino wool is sourced from the grasslands of Patagonia. We slow wash it for softness and shrink-resistance without the use of chlorine.
For our Merino Wool Baselayers we blend merino wool with all-recycled polyester for increased durability, improved wicking and faster dry times. The resulting garment provides higher performance in the field, is less fussy to care for and remains exceptionally soft against the skin, naturally odor resistant and machine washable. Our merino baselayer fabrics are bluesign® approved.
Patagonia has worked with bluesign technologies since 2000 to evaluate and reduce resource consumption in our materials supply chain, and to assist us with managing the chemicals, dyes and finishes used in the process. bluesign technologies, based in Switzerland, works at each step in the textile supply chain to approve chemicals, processes, materials, and products that are safe for the environment, safe for workers, and safe for end customers.
In 2007, Patagonia became the first brand to officially join the network of bluesign® system partners.
Any fabric you see that's bluesign® approved offers the highest level of consumer safety by employing methods and materials in their manufacture that conserve resources and minimize impacts on people and the environment.
We promote fair labor practices, safe working conditions and environmental responsibility throughout the Patagonia supply chain.

Earlier rumors were just confirmed at the New York Comic Con preview party - wave 4 consists of Dagobah Luke, Dagobah Yoda, Toryn Farr, Snowspeeder Pilot Wedge, Snowtrooper Commander, and ROTS Darth Vader. Thankfully, almost every figure looks to be made of completely new parts, though Wedge looks like he's based on Snowspeeder Luke, and Toryn might use some Hoth Leia pieces. Aside from Luke's ginormous backpack and the fact that I was hoping for a crispy Anakin over an armored Vader, these all look most impressive. Yoda in particular looks to be a huge step forward from previous releases.
SirSteve's coverage includes the figures starting on this page. JediTempleArchives and Star Wars Action News posted photos on their Facebook feeds as well.

'Insights With Martin Gilens'

Professor Martin Gilens discusses his findings about the influence of the affluent over government policy. Read more.
Video Closed Captions
MICHAEL HOTCHKISS: How long ago
did you start this?
MARTIN GILENS: It was
before I got here.
I'd say about a decade.
MARTIN GILENS: So it has been
a long-term endeavour.
MICHAEL HOTCHKISS: So, you sort of touched on this, but
if you were to
just sort of summarize the
basic question that you're
trying to answer in the book,
what is that question?
MARTIN GILENS: The basic
question is do affluent
Americans have dominance over
the shape of government policy
making, and is that more
true now than it was
a few decades ago?
MICHAEL HOTCHKISS: So how did you go
about answering your question?
MARTIN GILENS: I collected
survey questions that had been
asked of national samples of
Americans, over a period of
many of decades.
And those questions asked people
whether they would
support or oppose specific
changes in
federal government policy.
And then I had an army of
research assistants code
whether the proposed changes
that the survey questions
referred to were, in
fact, adopted.
And with those data, and as I
put together a massive data
set with all that information,
with that I was able to assess
the probability that a change
in government policy would
take place, depending on how
much support or opposition it
had among lower or
middle-class or
higher-income Americans.
MICHAEL HOTCHKISS: So what are your
most important findings?
MARTIN GILENS: So the most
important findings are first,
that the degree of inequality
in influence over government
policy is enormous.
When preferences diverge, so
when the policy preferences of
the affluent differ from those
of the middle class or of the
poor, that what you see is
substantial influence by
affluent Americans over policy
outcomes, and essentially no
influence by people
with less income.
MICHAEL HOTCHKISS: And why
does that matter?
MARTIN GILENS: Well, it matters
for two reasons.
One is it matters in sort of a
broad, sort of abstract sense
in that to be a democracy means
that all citizens have
some ability to influence
the choices that
the government makes.
But in a more practical sense,
it matters because the
specific policies that result
from the influence of
different groups shape people's
lives in immensely
important ways.
MICHAEL HOTCHKISS: So what's your take
away from these findings?
MARTIN GILENS: There's
a few things.
So one would be to look at
campaign finance reforms.
In addition, because one of the
things that I found was
that political competition
seems to enhance
responsiveness of government to
the public and makes that
responsiveness more equal, that
other sorts of reforms,
which enhance political
competition, could help to
ameliorate the unequal
representation that I
show in this book.
And then the third way that this
could be addressed is to
focus on those sorts of policies
where affluent
Americans and less well-off
Americans agree, or at least
agree more.
And so things like government
support for education gets
strong support, even for people
at the top of the
income distribution.

Slovenia Population: 1,992,6907 VISITORS FROM HERE!
« Previous Country | Next Country » Back to Flag Counter Overview
|The Slovene lands were part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until the latter's dissolution at the end of World War I. In 1918, the Slovenes joined the Serbs and Croats in forming a new multinational state, which was named Yugoslavia in 1929. After World War II, Slovenia became a republic of the renewed Yugoslavia, which though communist, distanced itself from Moscow's rule. Dissatisfied with the exercise of power by the majority Serbs, the Slovenes succeeded in establishing their independence in 1991 after a short 10-day war. Historical ties to Western Europe, a strong economy, and a stable democracy have assisted in Slovenia's transformation to a modern state. Slovenia acceded to both NATO and the EU in the spring of 2004; it joined the eurozone in 2007.

Slovenia became the first 2004 European Union entrant to adopt the euro (on 1 January 2007) and has experienced one of the most stable political and economic transitions in Central and Southeastern Europe. With the highest per capita GDP in Central Europe, Slovenia has excellent infrastructure, a well-educated work force, and a strategic location between the Balkans and Western Europe. Privatization has lagged since 2002, and the economy has one of the highest levels of state control in the EU. Structural reforms to improve the business environment have allowed for somewhat greater foreign participation in Slovenia's economy and helped to lower unemployment. In March 2004, Slovenia became the first transition country to graduate from borrower status to donor partner at the World Bank. In 2007, Slovenia was invited to begin the process for joining the OECD; it became a member in 2012. Despite its economic success, foreign direct investment (FDI) in Slovenia has lagged behind the region average, and taxes remain relatively high. Furthermore, the labor market is often seen as inflexible, and legacy industries are losing sales to more competitive firms in China, India, and elsewhere. In 2009, the global recession caused the economy to contract - through falling exports and industrial production - by 8%, and unemployment to rise. Although growth resumed in 2010, it dipped into negative territory in 2012 and the unemployment rate continued to rise, approaching 12% in 2012.

Route 1 traffic project may affect University drivers
Posted July 30, 2012; 10:00 a.m.
A New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) pilot project on Route 1 may affect how some Princeton University employees, students and visitors travel into Princeton. Motorists using Route 1 northbound will not be able to make left turns or U-turns at Washington Road or Harrison Street in West Windsor starting on or about Friday, Aug. 3, 2012. The turn restrictions will last for about 12 weeks.
Drivers on Route 1 northbound may continue to access Princeton using the Alexander Road exit. Northbound drivers also may exit at the Scudders Mill Road interchange and U-turn onto Route 1 southbound to reach right-turn exits into Princeton.
Drivers on Route 1 southbound may continue to travel into Princeton via the normal routes, turning right at Alexander Road, Harrison Street or Washington Road
In connection with the pilot, NJDOT also will implement turn restrictions at Varsity Avenue and Fisher Place along Route 1. The traffic signals at Washington Road and Harrison Street will be optimized with the goal of improving traffic flow for Route 1 drivers.
The University will update directions for visitors on the Visiting Campus webpage when the road restrictions take effect.
University departments also have been asked to update campus directions posted on their websites or included in other materials — particularly communications to incoming students — during the pilot project. Drivers traveling on Route 1 northbound may be directed to take the Alexander Road exit to reach campus rather than turning left at Washington Road or Harrison Street. Departments also may link to directions on the Visiting Campus webpage from their individual websites.
NJDOT reports that the turn restrictions are intended to reduce traffic back-ups along Route 1 northbound. NJDOT officials said they would evaluate traffic data to determine whether congestion was reduced during the trial and to determine next steps. The NJDOT website has more information on the Route 1 pilot project and alternate routes for Route 1 drivers.
This map (.pdf) shows alternate routes into Princeton from Route 1 during a New Jersey Department of Transportation pilot project that will restrict left turns at Washington Road or Harrison Street for about 12 weeks. (Illustration by the Office of Communications)

For a long time I was happy with cheap headphones, apple, JVC, skullcandy, etc. Well after a while I wanted some more serious headphones for some heavier..." --Bassbanger101

"Intro rant If you are like me then you are probably looking for earbuds that stay in your ear and don't fall out. You want something durable with good sound quality. I was very skeptical of buying these earbuds after contacting the company about their specifications. When I asked what the tech specs were and since they claim to be water resistant I also asked what their IPX rating level..." --boxfox

Each of PHA's 240 support groups are united by the drive to provide information, support, connections and hope. However, each has its own special way of operating and its own unique local feel. We love to celebrate the vibrant diversity of these local groups, and earlier this year, two support group leaders gave us a way to celebrate both our diversity and unity.
Two of our support group leaders created quilts to capture the essence of our support groups and to pay tribute to those we have lost to the disease.
Buffalo, N.Y., Support Group Leader Jaclyn Burdick created the "Laugh, Love, Hope and Peace" quilt to represent our 240 groups nationwide. Cleveland Community Group Leader Gwen Brown masterfully hand-crafted the "Memories … Just One Breath Away" memorial quilt. Pieces for each of the quilts were designed by support group leaders and group members across the country and mailed to Jaclyn and Gwen for inclusion in each quilt.
The quilts were showcased at PHA's 10th International PH Conference this past June, and they are now lovingly displayed in PHA's Silver Spring, Md., headquarters.
The photos below show the loving detail and handiwork of our leaders and support group members across the country.

Eye of the Tiger: Christian Staehely
Posted May 5, 2008; 04:46 p.m.
An excerpt from the Princeton Athletics video series featuring scholar athletes.
Video Closed Captions
Christian Staehely:
Hi, my name is Christian Staehely, and I'm a senior on the baseball team.
You're watching Eye of the Tiger.
Christian Staehely:
I got interested in baseball...I guess I started playing t-ball when I was five.
I guess that's when you start playing t-ball.
Christian Staehely:
My dad was a big baseball guy. He grew up in Texas and he went to U.T.,
and wasn't a football fan -- he was more of a baseball guy.
Christian Staehely:
So I didn't learn how to throw a football until I was in college but learned
to throw a baseball when I was four.
Christian Staehely:
Actually I had no intentions of going to Princeton. I always wanted to go to
U.T. or Rice, and then I went to the Perfect Game Showcase in Marietta,
Christian Staehely:
Georgia (I was on a select baseball team in high school) and some of the Ivy
League schools saw me play and pitch and asked about grades and stuff.
Christian Staehely:
I told them my grades, then they started recruiting me, so I sent a video to
Princeton, even though Princeton's never heard of me or seen me.
Christian Staehely:
Some of the video was of me pitching in our state playoffs and stuff,
and the next thing I knew, Coach Bradley was interested in me,
Christian Staehely:
flew me up here and I loved it, loved the team. It was the best atmosphere
for Ivy League sports, I thought.
Christian Staehely:
Right now I'm still considering playing baseball after school. I played
European baseball last fall when I studied abroad.
Christian Staehely:
I played for the Swedish national team (since I'm a Swedish citizen) and
I got a few offers in Europe to play
Christian Staehely:
and in Australia, in case the U.S. doesn't work out, but I'm still crossing my
fingers for that.
Christian Staehely:
My biggest hobby is playing music and writing and recording music.
I kind of set up this little home, this room,
Christian Staehely:
a makeshift recording studio out of my dorm room. I specifically got
a single this year so I could make it and soundproof it.
Christian Staehely:
It's about as good as I can do for up here at Princeton. But I love
instruments and messing around with different instruments,
Christian Staehely:
anything with strings, I love playing them. I'm trying to teach myself piano
right now.
Christian Staehely:
My favorite class was probably an Indian music class taught by Ustad
Zakir Hussain,
Christian Staehely:
who is this world-renowned tabla player, and he taught us about
Indian music.
Christian Staehely:
It was a very introductory-level class, but it taught me a lot about the
history of Indian music and its integration
Christian Staehely:
with Western music. And he would give live performances in class, and it
was pretty amazing
Christian Staehely:
to have this world-renowned guy teach your class and give little concerts.
It was amazing.

PANASONIC RP-HJE120-D HJE120 Earbuds (Orange)
Panasonic RP-HJE355-K High Fidelity Ergo-Fit Inner Ear Earbud Headphone Black
" I bought this and the JVC HA-FX40 at around the same price($20 each). I like this for the better behaved highs, overall slight warmth, and what seems like a slightly better build quality. I like the HA-FX40 for its slightly better detail, although its highs are a bit too strong at times. The HJE355 has a very ergonomic shape and I think most people will find that it is very..." --JK1
Panasonic sealed earphone high-res sound source Silver RP-HDE10-S
" On my quest for the perfect sounding IEM for mobile use I came across these headphones that are rather underrepresented in the forum. The Panasonic RP-HDE10 are technically quite interesting as their 11,5mm MLF (multi-layered film) dynamic driver is actuated from both sides by a "HD Axial Dual Driver Unit" — a double set of coils and magnets. Enough proprietary tech to get me..." --Ralphee
Panasonic RP-HJE900
" Review is here: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/502289/panasonic-rp-hje900-zirconia-review " --dfkt
Panasonic RP-HJE450-K
" The sound reminds me of the PX100. It is warm and detailed, with plenty of bass. It has more bass impact but less detail than the HJE355. The HJE355 also has better detail, better highs, and seems to isolate better. I bought the HJE450 before I bought the HJE355. Even though the HJE450 is good, I prefer the less expensive HJE355.

Panasonic rp hje 130
There is an old saying that says everything is all about presentation, and these new RP-HJE 130 earbuds from Panasonic definitely follow that very well. As far as the earbuds themselves go, they are your standard pair of earbuds for listening to your favorite tunes and probably work very well. The real attraction here though is in the packaging. With these earbuds packaged up to look like a...
