BeschreibungIn the this collection, International Governance, Regimes, and Globalization, the writers explore international relations and globalization by using specific examples from Beijing and Taipei. In December 1949, when China was politically divided the People's Republic of China (PRC) central government was in control of most resources, tangible and intangible. For that reason, our unit of analysis has to be the state, meaning a government or a politically organized body. With the rise of civil society at both national and international levels, applying the international/global governance theory should be closer to reality, because we have to look at both the state and non-state-sponsored dimensions, which are more complex and complicated. Indeed, international/global governance could become a new school of thought and will continue to expand as academics explore. For example, neo-liberalism primarily focuses on market and contract. When people buy and sell something, they are in a market. In other words, politics is the superstructure of economics or as Karl Marx said what prevails in economy will ultimately prevail in politics.
In a sense, subscribers to this school of thought are Marxian. However, the study of international/global governance embraces the non-state sponsored dimension. Hence, it is broader than that of the neo-liberalism school of thought.

PressestimmenThe editors of this book have undertaken a Herculean but very important task: to show that international governance will be the dominant school of thought among international relations scholars in the future. This book is well organized and the contributors make a persuasive case, beginning rightly, this writer believes, with examining China's views (the nation that is most critical to global trends) on the subject. -- John F. Copper, Rhodes College This book is well-written and well-organized and will appeal to students, scholars and practitioners. It is a clear, balanced, and timely volume that will be considered a 'must read' by anyone with an interest in Chinese politics and global politics. A solid work. -- Dennis V. Hickey, Missouri State University

After all the reports claiming that Saturday's match against arsenal would be Avram Grant's last match in charge of West Ham, he is still waiting to find out if he has a future at the club.
The Hammers owners have been so indecisive in their treatment of him. First, there was a match which David Gold described as a 'save our season' fixture, then Grant had three games to save his job and now, if reports are to be believed, Martin O'Neill is on the verge of taking over while Grant's seat in the dugout is still warm.
West Ham should not determine the club's future based on individual results - they have to work out whether Grant is the man they want in charge in the long term. They need to make a decision one way or the other as soon as possible, because they need new players to get them out of this hole.
Is Grant the man they are going to trust with spending whatever money is available on better players who can help them avoid relegation? Is he someone who will be able to attract the required personnel to the club? I fear the answer is no on both counts.
It seems that the failed attempt to sign Steve Sidwell and the baffling decision to take Wayne Bridge on loan both had nothing to do with Grant.
Whoever comes into the job, West Ham need new players. The last time they were relegated many people were saying they were too good to go down, but I don't think you can say that about the current squad.
A new man is required who is willing to drive that recruitment at short notice and can also instil belief in the players who are already at the club, because West Ham are by no means out of this.
They may have been bottom at Christmas, nearly always the death knell for a struggling team, but they are not cut adrift. A run of three wins for any side at the wrong end of the table will drag them a fair way up it.
As well as O'Neill, Sam Allardyce has also been lined with the vacancy. Those are two names I never would have imagined being linked with the job at Upton Park, to be honest.
Both would bring different qualities to the table, but equally either man could save them. O'Neill would be the one to unite the players in the belief that escaping the drop - and ensuring they were all Premier League footballers again next season - was a possibility, while Allardyce would make them hard to beat, something they certainly weren't against the Gunners.
The best thing about that 3-0 defeat was that plenty of the home fans weren't there to see the end of it. One of my closest friends was at the ground, and he told me that he just could not take it anymore and had to leave. Arsenal were embarrassing them that much.
The big worry for West Ham's board is that, with all the different things said and mixed messages coming out of the club, would a talented, experienced manager want to work for them anyway? Just as clubs pick out a manager they like, a manager will want to be sure they are going to be able to work with their new employers.
After seeing the way Grant and Gianfranco Zola before him were treated, is the West Ham job really that attractive?

PayScale Index Shows Declining Wages for STEM Jobs
Wage growth stalled for IT, science, and biotech positions, while construction jobs and the real estate industry appear to be rebounding
Seattle, WA – April 9, 2015 – Today, PayScale, Inc., the leader in cloud compensation data and software for businesses and individuals, released the Q1 2015 PayScale Index which tracks quarterly and annual trends in compensation and also provides a U.S. national wage forecast for the coming quarter. The Index shows national wages for Q1 barely increased at 0.1 percent and the average 12-month change in U.S. wages across all industries was 1.8 percent. Of note, previous top performing sectors such as the professional, scientific and technical services industry and the oil and gas industry experienced a decline in Q1. Meanwhile, construction jobs and the real estate industry which saw wages decline in recent years are now showing signs of recovery. Finally, the Index shows wage growth continues to lag, as real wages are down almost 7 percent since 2006, a measure calculated by analyzing nominal wage growth and the average change in price of a fixed basket of goods and services.
"We saw wage growth in certain industries and jobs shift in Q1 as some previous high performers, such as IT and biotech jobs, moved down the Index and others that were lagging, like construction and real estate, showed considerable improvement," said Katie Bardaro, Lead Economist at PayScale. "While there are signs of life with some wage growth in certain pockets, the national average shows wages are still lagging far behind other indicators in our rebounding economy."

Hayley: Another TripMature
"M-Most people g-go to the the beach to, er, meet up." I mumble, wincing at myself for stuttering. I look to the floor, knowing my face is bright red. I'm always like this with new people, I stutter, then go red, then make a utter fool of myself. Not good.
I look at Rachel and she smiles at me warmly, I smile back at look at the guy. He smiles at me. "I've just come from there." He says. I nod and look out at the sea. I love the sea, I love the way it shines and looks so inviting.
I remember one time, when I was young, my sister buried me in the sand so I could be 'one with the sea'. I smile, remembering that day. "Chappers? Hello?" Eithne towers over me, waving a hand in my face.
"What?" I ask, my voice turning back to normal. It's strange. New people always class me as quiet, but I'm not. I can talk for england if someone gets me on a subject.
"Chappers?" Simon says smiling. I scratch my arm. "It's my nickname." I say, my voice stronger but not like it usually is around my friends. "So, what do your friends look like?" Rachel asks him. Simon tells us and I'm already scanning the crowds of people for them.
"I think we'll have to walk around a bit to find them." I say, giving up the scanning search. Rachel starts walking towards the other shop with Eithne next to her. I follow after them, walking with Simon. "So, where are you from?" He asks me politely. I look at him then at my feet. "Essex, Billericay." I say.
Most people think that in Essex, everyone is a chav but me and my mates are the exceptions to that. I can talk like a chav sometimes but that's just the way I talk, it's nothing like I really am.
"Where are you from?" I ask him, looking at him again. He opens his mouth to reply when I trip over my feet. I fall to the floor at wince at my clumseyness. It's never good falling in public, especially when you're trying to act cool around a person you've just met. "Are you okay?" Simon asks, helping me up. I nod. "I'm good. I suppose after so many trips, ya get used to it." I say, smiling at him.
He smiles back and we start walking again. "So, before I stacked it like the clutts I am, you were going to say where you're from? 'Cause I'm sure ya aint an Essex dude." I say, smiling.

Islamabad, Jun 23: "Show flexibility in peace talks with Pakistan, include Kashmiris in these negotiations urged the Leaders of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC). They also demanded that the 'Line of Control' be changed to the 'Line of Commerce'.
Speaking at a reception hosted by Prime Minister of Pakistan occupied Kashmir, Sardar Attique Ahmed Khan, APHC Chairman Mirwaiz Omar Farooq on Sunday, June 22 said the AJK Government and people have played a memorable role to promote the Kashmir cause. He said Kashmiris from both the sides had suffered a lot and now wished for a combined decision of their fate, adding the conglomerate was satisfied over the new Government's decision to resume dialogue with the Kashmiri leadership. ''Prime Ministers and Foreign Ministers of both countries met during the UN and SAARC conferences but no decision was taken,'' he said, adding that the third party - ''Kashmiris'' should now be included in the talks.
According to a private Online news agency, Mr Ahmed said the Line of Control should be changed into the Line of Commerce and open commerce should be started. ''Kashmiris have sacrificed a lot for the freedom of Kashmir and the talks would be unproductive until the inclusion of Kashmiris in Pak-India dialogue.'' ''We are organising a seven-day International Kashmir Festival in September and October and have invited Mr Farooq and the leadership of Hurriyat Conference to attend it,'' he said.

The rural county of Cumbria is one of the most attractive in England. It contains the whole of the area known as the Lake District, as well as the northern part of the Pennines mountain range and, somewhat counter-intuitively, a part of the Yorkshire Dales.
The county is replete with attractions for the visitor, its historic heritage ranging from houses and gardens to stone circles and activities ranging from walking and climbing to watersports and fishing. Cumbria's lakes, valleys and fells can loosely be broken down into eight areas.
The North Lakes are the most popular with the serious outdoor enthusiast and the South Lakes draw most of the holidaymakers. The Western Lakes are less busy but still hold some varied attractions and appeal to the walkers as well as families and groups. They are home to England's tallest mountain, known as Scafell Pike.
East Lakes has its quota of mountains too, including the well-known Helvellyn, and is a fairly quiet area. Visit the Eden Valley and North Pennine area for wilderness, castles and rural villages, or perhaps consider North and South Cumbria. In the former we find Hadrian's Wall and the city of Carlisle. In the latter, coastal resorts and the biggest town, Kendal. Finally, the edge of the Yorkshire Dales is a beautiful part of Cumbria with country pubs, easy walking, and a thriving arts scene.
Feefo is an independent feedback service used by Scotts Castle Holidays to give you an opportunity to see how other guests feel about this property.
Changeover Day: Saturday
Please choose a changeover day as your start date.

Reynolds Thirty Two T Tubular Wheelset - $2,200.00
The Thirty Two stands on its own within the Reynolds line of wheels. Sure, there're a couple of other 32mm wheels, but they don't come within 300 grams of the Reynolds Thirty Two T Tubular Wheelset. So, with a shallow profile and an overall weight that's under 1100 grams, the Thirty Two could just as well be called the Reynolds Climber. Comparing the Thirty Two to any other Reynolds wheels is a bit like comparing apples-to-oranges. In fact, tipping the scales around a respectable 1075 grams, the Thirty Two's closest weight competitor is the insanely light RZR 46 (968g). How was it done' With Reynolds' CR6 Hybrid Carbon, of course. This is the same carbon fiber found in the Aero line of wheels. It's used in both lines because it allows a high level of torsional and lateral rigidity without the detriment of stacking grams. And for the Aero line, its light weight and high tensile strength keeps the weight of a 26.2mm wide rim down. When used on the Thirty Two's maximum width of 20.8mm and a rim depth of 32mm, rotational weight becomes almost negligible. So, it can be asserted that while the Thirty Two's aerodynamics play a vital role in its design, it hasn't undergone the same extensive DET tunnel-testing as the Aero series. However, like the RZR 46, the Thirty Two has received Reynolds' Swirl Lip Generator (SLG) technology. It's easy to miss, but the leading edge of the rim features a 0.9mm lip in order to widen it near the spoke face. Accordingly, this minimizes pressure drag by reducing side forces on the rim, leaving room for responsiveness and weight to be the paramount characteristics of the Thirty Two. And along these lines, you'll find that the wheels roll up to speed quickly, and demand less user-force to keep them there. Additionally, its exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio guarantees a nimble reaction to your force when you jump to pin down a climbing break. - $2,200.00

Mt. Ski Gull board member to experience ups and downs
Mt. Ski Gull board
member to experience ups and downs
Sean Kaneski, a Mt. Ski Gull Board of Directors member, will ski down and walk up Mt. Ski Gull Saturday, Feb. 23, doing the equivalent of a half-marathon in order to raise funds for the recreational ski area near Gull Lake.
He estimated he would have to go up and down the hill about 40 times, Mt. Ski Gull officials said. Kaneski had secured just under $40,000 in pledges by Thursday and was hoping to raise $50,000.
The fund-raising event is expected to run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with a group of supportive skiers joining him at about 1 p.m.
Anyone interested in making a donation may contact Becky at 963-4353.

Wing Forward
Houston (Texas) HYCA
Class of 2014
UNC fans have lamented in recent years that Tar Heel commitments tend to drop after making their pledges, and for a time last year Jackson appeared to be next in line. Although he hadn't even announced, national scouts believed that Carolina held a clear lead.
And after some quiet performances through early EYBL sessions, the consensus top-20 prospect looked vulnerable to a fall. Too skinny, slightly stiff, and just average athleticism surfaced as the most common concerns.
But Jackson began to emerge at last July's Peach Jam, where he competed for the Houston Hoops against Nike's best players — most a full year older — and impressed all observers. He carried that momentum into his junior season and took yet another leap, showcasing new offensive wrinkles and setting the stage for a big spring.
He made time during the year to visit Chapel Hill officially and committed to Roy Williams shortly thereafter, choosing the Tar Heels over Arizona (which he also visited officially) and others without seriously contemplating another school.
At April's first two EYBL sessions, in Los Angeles and Hampton, Va., Jackson further cemented himself as a national elite prospect. He projects as a near-certain McDonald's All-American and could become the most touted recruit to enroll at UNC since Harrison Barnes in the fall of 2010.
Jackson's game illustrates the potency of simplicity. He's economical, relatively sizzle-free and tends to play in a straight line. Those qualities may not scream superstar, but within the parameters of his own style and talent, he has become a magnificent all-around contributor.
He does his best work in no-man's land, the area of the court 6-13 feet from the basket. Increasingly fewer players operate comfortably within that space, but Jackson actually has tailored his game to maximize his touches in those areas.
Utilizing a lightning-quick release, Jackson darts forward either off the dribble or off the catch and lofts in short jump shots. He can halt his momentum even moving at full speed to remain in control for very accurate results. He intelligently passes up open shots in order to work for better ones, and his preferred arsenal tends to catch defenses by surprise.
He sets up screens well and thrives when surrounded by more dominant handlers, yet he also boasts a sure dribble himself and possesses enough quickness to create his own shot. That said, he doesn't belong to the elite mid-range creation category inhabited by former Tar Heels such as Joseph Forte. Jackson isn't as quick or slick, but he's also very tall for a player who excels shooting from that range and few wing forwards maneuver well enough in traffic to defend him effectively.
Jackson also shoots threes at a respectable percentage. He used to rely more heavily on distance jumpers, but now he takes them more judiciously and rarely forces a bad one, not unlike former UNC wing Reggie Bullock.
When he's unable to get shots while moving toward the rim, he loves to employ high post ups against smaller wings. He typically sets up at 8-10 feet, and from there he patiently dribbles his way down another foot or two and launches accurate turnaround jumpers.
Meanwhile, he's a solid passer both in halfcourt and running the break, and he's an outstanding third ballhandler. At 6-8, that particular quality becomes even more valuable because he's tall enough to pass over most pressure-applying wings.
His defense gets overlooked due to his offensive proficiency, but I believe Jackson will become a fine performer on this end of the court as well. He uses his long arms and a wide stance to contain dribble penetration, and his lateral quickness and instincts are at least above-average. He has enjoyed some big rebounding games and makes timely blocks from behind as a helper.
I don't foresee him becoming UNC's top perimeter defender in part because I think he'll carry a substantial offensive load, but he's more balanced than most other high-scoring wings Roy Williams has recruited to Chapel Hill.
Jackson's intangibles also warrant mention. His game lends itself to high efficiency, but so does his attitude. He holds the talent to pursue his own opportunities at the expense of his teammates, but he simply isn't hard-wired to compete that way. He shares the ball enthusiastically and participates in the game's minutia more than most star players.
Clearly, Jackson must get stronger. He's naturally narrow through his shoulders, so it's unlikely he'll ever become a power wing. For that reason some opponents can overwhelm him physically, a problem that becomes aggravated when officials call looser games.
As mentioned, he's also not an elite athlete. Although more than capable physically in most respects, Jackson doesn't dominate as much as he picks his spots. He's more of a consistent, steady performer rather than a dynamic, bullying force.
College Projection
I believe Jackson could become UNC's best freshman since Barnes and Kendall Marshall. He'll likely lack strength initially but should thrive despite that, given his advanced reach, skill and intelligence.
Given Carolina's need for wings in the 2014-15 campaign, and obviously contingent upon UNC's other recruiting successes, Jackson should have a strong chance to start as a freshman. Even given the typical adjustment period, I think he'll enjoy an outstanding rookie campaign and then could truly blow up as a sophomore.
Jackson's physical profile suggests to me that he'll need at least two years of college, but certainly it wouldn't shock if he's good enough to exit after one season. However long he's on campus, he'll likely make his presence felt in Chapel Hill.

LITTLE Bonnie Rye glances nervously into the audience as she struts down the
catwalk in her £600 gown.
The six-year-old knows mum Sharon, 42, will be scrutinising her every move
after hours spent practising at home.
Sadly, Sharon isn't impressed by her daughter's performance.
Backstage, dance teacher Sharon tells her: "That was terrible. Daddy will be
so disappointed."
According to Sharon, Bonnie walked too fast and didn't blow enough kisses to
score points with the judges. Bonnie is in tears — but her mum has little
Welcome to the fiercely competitive world of child beauty pageants. Once
confined mainly to America, they are now big business in the UK.
Their popularity has been increased by TV shows such as Toddlers & Tiaras,
which follows young contestants in the US.
Inspired by their example, British mums are forking out on expensive gowns and
make-up for kids.
Before pageants, both girls and boys undergo strict beauty regimes, including
fake tans, eyelash tinting and hair styling.
Today Bonnie, from the Isle Of Wight, is competing in the Little Man and Mini
Miss Worldwide 2011 pageant, with 51 competitors aged from just seven months
to 15 years.
The contest, at the Marks Tey Hotel in Colchester, Essex, costs £350 to enter,
with hundreds more for outfits, transport and hotels.
Mum Sharon has spent a total of £2,500 to enter Bonnie and her four-year-old
sister Hanna.
Another mother, Leanne Woodall, 32, admits she goes without new clothes to pay
for outfits for her children, Tia, eight and Niyah, nine months.
Leanne, a housewife from Lincoln, says: "I'd rather spend money on the girls
so they stand more chance of winning.
"For today, I bought Tia a £280 pink dress and a £25 pair of high heels. I've
spent more than £5,000 on pageant outfits and expenses in the last six
"It's criminal for the girls to be seen in the same outfit twice."
Tia has taken part in eight pageants since May and won five. There are no cash
prizes but she has won a scooter, jewellery, make-up, a Dolce & Gabbana
T-shirt, goody bags — and free entry to the next pageant.
Leanne, married to a forklift truck driver, says: "Niyah took part in her
first pageant aged seven months. As the youngest contestant today, I'm keen
for her to follow in her big sister's footsteps."
Today's winner gets a new modelling portfolio and a Nintendo Wii.
But for many mums, the real goal is for their kids to win fame as models and
TV stars. Contestants arrive at noon to give them plenty of time to prepare
before the pageant starts at 5pm. The kids seem happy to see each other but
most of the mums eye each other warily.
They apply false nails and eyelashes to their kids and slather them with fake
tan and glitter.
Amy Ellis, 28, from Colchester, painstakingly straightens her three-year-old
daughter Izzy's curly hair.
The child sucks on her dummy before demanding: "I want my pretties!" She's
referring to having her nails done and her mum starts painting them red to
match her dress. Pageant newcomer Madison Bicknell, 15, tells me: "Mum and I
are obsessed with Toddlers & Tiaras and I wanted to experience what's it
is really like."
Her mum, Margaret, 51, an accountant from Diss, Norfolk, says they've picked
up tips from the TV show. She says: "I've taken Madison for a spray tan and
got her nails done.
"I've also arranged a hair stylist and make-up artist so she looks a cut above
the rest. We've spent just under £1,000."
In the boys' changing room, Lisa Clutton, 45, a beauty therapist from Ipswich,
is applying hair gel to her sons Bradley, 11, and five-year-old Bailey, who
want to look like their idol David Beckham.
Meanwhile Chamaine Ennew, 30, a community care assistant from Tiptree,
Colchester, is helping daughter Isabella, six, practise her hula hoop
routine for the talent section. "Don't bring the hoop so high or you'll
flatten your hair," she says, patting her daughter's bouffant.
At 5pm, as dance music pumps out and spotlights hit the stage, the host
introduces the four judges — a male model, beauty queen, hairdresser and a
pageant organiser.
First up are the three catwalk sections — fashion, sports and evening wear —
where kids parade in a variety of outfits that include sexy fishnet tights,
hotpants and crop tops.
Next is the talent section and interview by the host, former Miss East Anglia
Joanna Peagram, 24.
The contestants do their best to impress the judges with skills including
majorettes and classical ballet.
Bethany Harvey, 11, shows no sign of nerves as she gyrates to The Saturdays'
track All Fired Up in a mini-skirt and T-shirt emblazoned with the slogan
"DJ, blow my mind".
Six-year-old Ruby sings Rihanna's hit What's My Name? innocently lisping
lyrics such as: "Good weed, white wine, I come alive in the night time."
Among the boys, Michael Jackson impersonator Baxter, six, grooves away to
Billie Jean, while 12-year-old Donny shows off his football skills.
Finally, after five hours of intense competition, the winners are declared.
Ten-year-old Jai who impressed the judges with his Indian dancing and
singing, wins the Mini Man Worldwide 2011 title, while Bethany is crowned
Mini Miss Worldwide.
Organiser Pam Boon, 51, a former beauty queen, insists contestants aren't just
judged on their looks. She says: "The judges look for confidence as well as
charisma and mark contestants on their catwalk poses and talent."
Winner Bethany's mum, Debbie, 35, a teaching assistant, is bursting with pride
as a diamante tiara is placed on her daughter's head.
The four-hour journey each way from their home in Chesterfield, Derbys, has
paid off. She says: "I couldn't be more proud. Since she started entering
pageants last May, this is the fifth title she's won.
"She's been modelling in TV ads and catalogues since she was nine. I sent her
on a modelling training programme for £120 so she could perfect her poses.
She also watches her figure by cutting calories.
"She wants to be the next Elle Macpherson and I'd love her to be famous one
day, whether it's as a model, actress or singer."
Dawn Parker, 53, from Gloucester, agrees. Her daughter Misha, 15, is a regular
on the pageant circuit.
She says: "Misha wants to be the next Katie Price and I'm all for it.
"We've discussed getting a boob job. If that's what it takes, she can have one
when she hits 16."
Sadly, the mums whose kids have failed to do well at this pageant storm off
with faces like thunder.
Forget the taking part. In this world winning is everything.
By DEIDRE SANDERS
Sun Agony Aunt
WHAT a grim way to write off the carefree joys and innocence of childhood
along with distorting a young person's values so they think that appearance
is all that matters.
Maybe, just maybe, the boost the few successful kids gain may help them in the
future, but the majority who get nowhere in this dog-eat-dog world will be
left feeling crushed.
It is terribly damaging for today's children to be given the idea that what
matters in life is looking glamorous, while neglecting their inner strengths
and character development.
And these children are spending hours trailing around the country and being
preened when they should be out in the fresh air running around with pals.
It's very unfair for these wannabe mums to live out their own fantasies
through their children.

I used to think status updates and performance reviews were a waste of time. My thinking was: "In the time that I'm writing down the things that I did, I could be getting even more work done!" So I would spend the minimal amount of effort on updates and reviews. After all, the people with whom I work know the quality of my results. As long as they're happy, everything will be fine.
Early this year, we had our performance reviews at work. I think this is the first time I've really come to appreciate the purpose of performance reviews. In the past, I thought about them from a negative perspective: Is this employee underperforming? Does the quality of his work hold up to that of his peers? Side note: Thinking back, this type of thinking may be a relic of my Asian American upbringing, during which my work was always under heavy scrutiny.
I now realize that performance reviews are a way of measuring progress throughout the year. What have I accomplished? How have I grown as a software engineer? And as the saying goes, if you don't measure something, you can't improve it. So ultimately, performance reviews are about improvement. What did you do right? What did you do wrong? How can you reach the next level?
It also helps your manager build the case for rewarding you for your good work. Most managers are not the ones making decisions about raises and promotions. However, they are the ones who have the most relevant input for those decisions. The VP of Engineering is not going to be familiar with very engineer's work output and has to rely on information from team managers to issue raises and promotions. Your manager isn't going to be able to give a glowing recommendation if all you write is, "I was awesome!" on your self-review.
I used to think that if you're judged by merit, then your work should speak for itself. The reality is closer to: you may be judged by merit, but if nobody knows what work you did, it doesn't matter. This is why the advertising industry exists.
In the past month, I've been keeping an Evernote notebook titled "Work Journal", in which I jot down a few lines describing the work I do everyday, assuming I remember. (I'm still working on the remembering part.) I'm approaching status updates and performance reviews from a new perspective, and I think it's going to make a big difference in 2014.

Patheos has picked up another new blog, and in keeping with this age of hybridism I think we could call it a kind of hybrid, too.
Leah Libresco is a smart young cookie and a lifelong atheist, who has managed to find herself a devout Catholic boyfriend, and she runs the whole topic of religion through her wringer at Unequally Yoked, where she writes:
I grew up with atheist patents in a pretty secular neighborhood (when we learned about the Reformation in AP Euro, one student asked if Lutherans still existed today). I didn't know any particularly religious Christians until college, when I joined a debating group that had knockdown, drag-out fights that often pitted Libertarians against Catholics. Not falling into either of these categories, I tended to pick fights with everyone and came in for my share of questioning in return.
And then I started dating a nice Catholic boy. (I traded my Mass attendance for his presence at ballroom dance lessons, and it's worked out pretty well so far). So between one thing and another, I was spending a lot of time arguing with smart Christians and I needed to step up my game.
Since we don't exactly have an "atheist portal" where Leah may relax and put up her feet, I am, in manner of speaking, acting as her Cyber Angel; through the ether my wispy hand is grabbing hers and I'm showing her where the bathrooms are, where the dogs that bite are kept and giving her an introduction to the Catholic side with whom she will no doubt find herself engaging, sometimes.
Bl. Pope John Paul II famously remarked that we have to live with "the world as it is", full of different people, opinions and thoughts, while always remembering that our purpose is to remain true to Christ and His Word within this increasingly differentiated world. A true weakness of the internet is the propensity for everyone to end up in their little echo chambers, all nodding their heads and validating their opinions by leaving them unchallenged. I spoke about it in Rome, and just recently the echo chamber came up again over a "thems" and "theys"/straights and gays dust up during which I wrote:
It's easy to simmer in the ghetto, easy to get comfortable with assumptions, stereotypes, paranoias and fears, because there is nothing to challenge them. Actually meeting the people we think we know all about (gay people; "illegal" immigrants who have been here for twenty years, the progressive blogger everyone told you was a meanie, but is just worried; the conservative who seems so terse but is just shy) getting to know them, working with them, agreeing on some things, disagreeing on others — when you do that, suddenly the "other" is a person struggling along, just like you, being battered in some ways, soaring in others. That's when caricatures crumble.
And others, of course, culled from the same groups, are just miserable bastards you can't do much about but kiss 'em up to God, and move on.
Leah, thankfully, does not fall into that latter category; she's game to engage, and as evidenced, I think, by these pieces, means to engage in good faith.
I have always said I have the best readers in the world, so I anticipate that y'all will make Leah feel welcome (though some of you with a bit of reserve, which is fine — I'm all for reserved-yet-mannerly) as she continues her adventure here, at Patheos.
And now, I do believe I will go introduce her to Marc Barnes at Bad Catholic, because these young'uns have way too much energy and bite for this old lady to keep up with. I believe Leah has already made the acquaintance of Mark Shea and The Crescat.
UPDATE: All-unaware that Leah was coming aboard, it turns out he'd written affable words about her, just today, wondering: Why can't there be more cheerful, open-minded, intellectually curious, non-dogmatic, happy and likeable Leah Librescos and a lot fewer jerks like Dawkins, P.Z. Myers, and Jerry Coyne?

These footie-mad lads in Indonesia showed they were on fire as they kicked a

The scorching version of footie is popular in many Islamic boarding schools

The balls are actually coconuts which have been soaked in kerosene for two

The Importance of International Trade
The Importance of International Trade
Economics deals with the proper allocation and efficient use of scarce resources. International economics is also concerned with allocation of economic resources among countries. Such allocation is done in the world markets by means of international trade. Under the concept of free trade, the best products are produced and sold in a free competitive market. Such benefits of production efficiency like better quality and lower price are available to all peoples of the world.
One fundamental principle in international trade is that one should buy goods and services from a country which has the lowest price, and sell his goods and services to a country which has the highest price. This is good for the buyers and for the sellers. Another, with free trade, the less developed countries have the opportunities to accelerate the pace of their economic development. They can import machines and adapt foreign technology. They can send their scholars and technocrats to more progressive countries to gain more knowledge and skills which are relevant to the particular needs of their developing economies.
In the final analysis, no country in the world can be economically independent without a decline in its economic growth. Even the richest countries buy raw materials for their industries from the poorest countries. If every country produces only for its own needs, then production and consumption of goods would be limited. Clearly, such situation hampers economic progress. Furthermore, the standard of living of the people all over the world would have no chance to improve. Because of international trade, people with money can acquire goods and services which are not available in their own countries. Hence, satisfaction of consumers can be maximized.

Social Organization of the Fat-Tailed Dwarf Lemur (Cheirogaleus Medius) in Northwestern Madagascar
- Alexandra E. MüllerAffiliated withAnthropological Institute and Museum, University of Zurich
* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
The strictly nocturnal dwarf lemurs(Cheirogaleus)are extraordinary among primates in showing extensive torpor phases during the austral winter, which is thought to be an adaptation to seasonal variation in food availability. The Fat-tailed Dwarf Lemur(C. medius)is found throughout the west and south of Madagascar and enters torpor for six to eight months. Such a long period of dormancy may influence their social organization. A 20-month field study carried out at the Station Forestiùre d' Ampijoroa revealed a monogamous social pattern forC. medius.
Data from this study are presented on group composition, sleeping associations, and home range organization over two seasons in order to elucidate the basis ofC. medius'unusual social organization. All studied groups contained one adult pair and their offspring from one or more birth seasons. Members of a group regularly sleep together, which might be an important means of social contact. In groups containing more than one offspring, brothers and sisters had the closest relationship. The adult pair remain together within the same home range for more than one season and presumably for life. Subsequently, some hypotheses about when monogamy should evolve are discussed.

Hacienda De La Paz, Los Angeles
Palos Verdes Peninsula, Los Angeles (approximate)
Hacienda de la Paz remains the only private residence in the Americas designed by celebrated architectural laureate Rafael Manzano Martos, whose ties to Spain's historically revered buildings are both strongly forged and internationally recognized.
Description: "Breathtakingly beautiful Spanish Hacienda, meticulously conceived, designed and landscaped to remain as intimate as it is grand.
Designed by award winning and world renowned classical Spanish architect, Rafael Manzano Martos, in cooperation with architect Anthony Inferrera; all interiors by Bruno and Manuel Gavira and decorative painting by Nicholas Luca de Tena.
Seventeen years in the making and built to exacting standards by Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Moroccan artisans and craftsmen; recruited explicitly for this project.
Unimaginable panoramic views encompassing the beaches, the West Side, the Hollywood Hills, downtown Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Mountains.
Located in one of the only guard gated cities in America, with security further enhanced by the Hacienda's own gated and secured perimeter, featuring multiple surveillance cameras and breach sensors.
Rolling Hills is the perfect environment to raise a family and is known for outstanding private and public schools, the area offers the best of both worlds for children, marrying Los Angeles' urban appeal with the healthy coastal lifestyle of the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
Rolling Hills is quintessentially Los Angeles' preeminent equestrian community, boasting direct access to 57 miles of riding trails and the Peninsula is home to the annual Portuguese Bend National Horse Show.
Conveniently close to LAX and private airports, minutes from numerous beaches and just a short boat ride away from Catalina Island.
Tranquil and aromatic manicured grounds including jetliner views, aligned marble fountains, rose gardens, vegetable gardens, a wide selection of fragrant herbs and wild flowers. The orchards boast twenty four varieties of fruit and nut trees.
Authentic tribute to Spanish and Moorish architectural influences, such as The Alhambra, are found in every detail; including magnificent frescoes, fountains, inlayed pavings, wood ceilings and arches.
The Hamam (Moorish-style spa and baths) is opulently appointed with hand crafted ceilings, imported marble, hand-carved sandstone, 24 carat gold Venetian tiling and an indoor pool; all providing a spa experience to rival any of the world's finest resorts.
One of Southern California's largest and well-equipped private ballrooms features built-in catering facilities, an independent 400 amp power circuit with separate sound and lighting control rooms fit to enhance any professional performance. The infrastructure is conveniently concealed within the walls and ideal for hosting fundraisers and other exclusive events; accommodating a sit-down dinner for up to 350 guests, a dance floor and a 30-piece orchestra. When it is not utilized as a grand ballroom, this extraordinary space doubles as an indoor tennis court.
Both the outdoor infinity edged pool and the red clay tennis court offer outstanding panoramic ocean, mountain and city views.
Uncompromising in every detail, including 800 year old river-recovered heart pine floors, 1940's antique glass windows and custom-forged door knobs and handles featuring the property's insignia.
Immaculate utilities service facility designed to simplify maintenance and implementation of future technological innovations. Includes an emergency 80KW backup generator and a geothermal energy system for both heating and cooling all structures; significantly reducing monthly energy costs.
