North Korea has a very long history of criminal and warlike activity, none of it defensive." Hmm, I guess Viet Nam and Iraq don't qualify as "warlike" activity. Exactly how many wars has N. Korea launched when compared to the U.S.? About those ICBM's, how come we need them for "defense" and N. Korea doesn't? BTW- ICBM's are offensive weapons designed to deter an attack since the will quarantee mutual destruction.

It proves to be a supply economic shock. Indeed, the rise of the labour cost degrades the labour demand and increases the costs of production. The competitivity is degraded and results in the drop of the purchasing power. Job losses are then attended: the unemployment strongly increases. This shock is also inflationary given that household’s consumption prices rise. As corporations’ profitability drops, exports and companies’ investment fall too. The current account drops and this shock is not expansionist: the GDP decreases. Finally, the public finance balance is improved but less than planned. Indeed, employer social contribution is increased but it happens to be less than expected as unemployment rises. In addition, income tax is lower than before the shock, employee social contribution increases and unemployment benefits expenses increase. | wikipedia |

I would disagree with the assessment that so many of our Presidents were mentally ill, rather than just dealing as best they could, with the incredible strain. In fact, only one other President comes to mind: Woodrow Wilson. The accepted history is the Wilson had a stroke but there is significant evidence that Wilson's "stroke" was actually a nervous breakdown. He had a similar incident and withdrawal previously as President of Princeton University, following a horribly contentious battle with a Dean there. | nyt_comments |

The fundamentalists on all sides of people who occupy the Middle East will never give an inch and there will never be peace among them. Religious zealotry does not lend itself to compromise and tolerance. It is a "my way or the highway" way of life founded in rigid, uncompromising beliefs that do not allow for a "love thy neighbor" clause as part of the system. Many good men and women have tried to change the situation and some have given their lives for the cause. It will be interesting to see, given his "four year old's" attention span, how long Trump will remain interested in this idea of peace in the Middle East. | nyt_comments |

The teachers unions wanted to weaken the standards just as they were about to take effect, but Cellucci worked with Speaker of the House Thomas Finneran and Senate President Thomas Birmingham, both Democrats, to hold the line on this issue. | wikipedia |

For instance, Psycharis proposed changing the form of the neuter noun "light" (gen. ) into (gen. ). Such radical forms had occasional precedent in Renaissance attempts to write in Demotic, and reflected Psycharis' linguistic training as a Neogrammarian, mistrusting the possibility of exceptions in linguistic evolution. Moreover, Psycharis also advocated spelling reform, which would have meant abolishing most of the six different ways to write the vowel /i/ and all instances of double consonants. Therefore, he wrote his own name as , instead of . | wikipedia |

He became notorious for his persecution of the Vaudois (Waldensians) culminating in the massacre of 1655, known as Piedmontese Easter. The massacre was so brutal that it prompted the English poet John Milton to write the sonnet On the Late Massacre in Piedmont. Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector, called for a general fast in England and proposed to send the British Navy if the massacre was not stopped while gathering funds for helping the Waldensians. Sir Samuel Morland was commissioned with that task. He later wrote The History of the Evangelical Churches of the Valleys of Piemont (1658). The 1655 massacre was only the beginning of a series of conflicts, the Savoyard–Waldensian wars (1655–1690), that saw Waldensian rebels use guerrilla warfare tactics against ducal military campaigns to enforce Roman Catholicism upon the entire population. | wikipedia |
