Even if so, there's very probably enough provocation on the failing there by the Producer alone.
Bollocks. Instead of turning up at 8pm for dinner at the hotel, Clarkson stayed at the pub drinking. Then he turned up at 10pm, probably pissed, and demanded a hot meal. The cook had already gone home, so Clarkson abused the producer for 20 minutes then assaulted him.
What an entitled prick who deserves not only sacking, but criminal prosecution.
Most likely an understanding of China's intentions / deals with various Pacific states, such as their support for post-coup Fiji.
Given the undemocratic nature of UN representation (Tuvalu's population of 10,000 has the same level of representation is India's 1.24 billion), the Pacific's developing nations are prime targets for vote-buying by China, US and other regional players.
I am a kiwi, and I have campaigned against this government and find this kind of spying to be very much against my country's values.
Citation needed.
An estimated 15,000 to 20,000 people are killed each year by landmines.
What you really mean is that you don't live with them in your community, and are therefore unconcerned by the impact of these killing devices. And now you think autonomous, mobile killing machines is a *good* idea. If you live in the USA, then it might pay to do some research in the militarisation of your police forces - and then think about whether you really want these kinds of things being built by the military-industrial complex.
Has your relative never heard of the term "market failure" ?
There is research to suggest that people with conservative beliefs tend to be less intelligent. They basically like to be told what to believe, which explains your relative's misplaced faith in The Market.
In my experience, right-wing principles (market knows best , regulation is bad) tend to be based on thought experiments, whereas left-wing principles (income inequality is bad, socialised benefits are more efficient etc) have empirical evidence supporting them. Not that this matters to most voters, since most people do not research/analyse the data, they make their minds up on sound-bites.
+1 to this, I did some training on this stuff earlier this year, and I was impressed with the overall offering. I particularly like the fact that you buy a pre-set appliance, so no mucking around with config and installations etc
Also, the SQL 2014 columnstore indexes should give massive query speed improvements.
I agree. Whenever someone mentions one of these places (Seaworld, Marineland etc), I say "are you talking about Aquatic Megafauna Incarceration World ?". Always gets them think about what a fucked up thing it is to imprison intelligent mammals.
When I got mine in NZ some years back, the guy at the kiosk (they sold personalised plates at shopping malls) said it would never be allowed.
I always wondered whether FAR CUE would get through.
I call bullshit on bi-lingualism means you have to stop concentrating on maths and science. This kind of attitude is typical of the ignorant. Read my post and you might learn something.
Actually, New Zealand leads the world in bi-lingual education, and my kids are have been through this kind of education, and I served on the Board of Trustees for a primary school that has 3 bilingual units (French/English, Samoan/English, Maori/English).
Bi-lingualism has a specific structure that results in better across-the-board outcomes. Namely, you teach the kids in the non-English language for the first three years of their education, then you teach the kids English, attaining about 80% of instruction in the non-English language. The curriculum still covers the same topics (maths, science, social sciences etc), so the kids still learn the those topics.
What we have found, via research driven by the University of Auckland and others, is that kids who complete a bi-lingual programme are, at years 7 and 8, better than their counterparts at English, maths and science. i.e. it really does improve educational outcomes, better than being on a mono-lingual programme.
I worked on a project where the developers (all contractors) were on mandatory 10 hour days. The timelines were tight, and this was a way of ensuring we hit the targets. These conditions persisted for about 2 years, IIRC. Nobody burnt out, and everyone was pretty happy. Of course, it helped that the the contractors were getting better money than pretty much anywhere else on the market (Sydney, Australia).
I would really like to know why I should be made to pay for wrongs that I had nothing to do with.
Because you personally benefit from the ongoing denial of property rights to the indigenous peoples of North America. The vast majority of the land in the US was NOT purchased, it was stolen. Have you ever heard of the "Trail of Tears" ? Check it out, it will explain the kinds of race-war activities that underpin the founding of your country.
As for whinging about about the local indigenous population having some form of self-determination, just cut it out. It is insignificant compared to the value of the resources that were force-ably taken from them, without compensation.
I wonder what the world's reaction would be were Jews to build a huge synagogue on the site of the first Iranian nuclear reactor they bomb into smithereens.
On the one hand, you have law-abiding people who happen to be of the same faith as the 9/11 terrorists, and on the other you some people committing an act of war also building a synagogue. Can you see the difference ? Also, did you know that Iran has seats in the parliament set aside especially for Jews ?
Muslim extremists cite US religious intolerance as a major reason why they need to wage their jihad. Enabling religious intolerance is playing into the jihadists' hands.
Actually, yes. Birth is a complicated process. When we had our first-born back in 1997, we attended the progressive Active Birthing Clinic in London. At the time, the latest research indicated that the residual blood from the placenta post-birth assisted in ensuring the baby's immune system was fully enabled.
We chose to wait until the cord had stopped throbbing before cutting it.
There is no three-strikes law in effect Aotearoa New Zealand. We had one, but a public campaign against it caused the government to suspend its implementation in 2009. It was very similar to the one in Ireland i.e. guilt by accusation.
At present it looks like we will get one where some kind of onus of proof will be required, and an independent body will oversee the accusations. So,yeah, it will be a 3 strikes, but a more workable version without the guilt by accusation.
Actually, I just saw a documentary last week about paper serviettes that are made from old-growth forests. IIRC, it was in Maine. While some forestry is sustainable, you can actually make more money by destroying old-growth forests. Why ? Because you didn't have to pay the cost of developing the forest in the first place.
Did anyone actually see Sione's Wedding? Gods. That film was not damaged by unlawful distribution on the Internet, it was damaged by the fact that it was a terrible film.
Actually, the problem was that one of the film editors took a copy home and his cousin copied the disk and it was illegally distributed via copies rather than the internet. Either way, Tizard implemented a truly bad law, and for that alone I am glad she got voted out. She had no excuse, she just caved in and gave the content industry what they wanted.
But right now nobody can build a wind farm that will run a city 24/7/365.
Straw man.
Wind is useful in a portfolio of energy generation options, up to about 20% of the mix. It's relatively cheap, relatively low impact and easily scalable.
Here in Aoteroa, we have lots of renewable hydro, but in a dry year we can have issues with respect to supply. Wind doesn't have dry years, so is a useful part of the mix.
While I'd prefer energy problems to be solved by renewables, I'd rather have nuclear than coal/gas any day.
Well, actually it did save some some. I read an account where a different platoon came across the atrocity in action and actually defended some of the villagers.
I followed that particular case closely, and the mother was imprisoned because she would not tell the court where her son was. She was clearly complicit in his going missing, and - flying the face of the Family Court judgement - she arranged for her son to be removed so his father could have no contact.
The company I work for requires that all workers (who are not employees, but are contractors) must supply their own PC. The company still provides basic development software and OS (Visual Studio 2008 etc), but it's up to us to
a) administer our machines
b) add any software we think may be useful
c) handle our own licences
So far, no issues except for the guy who rebuilt his machine and didn't put on any virus protection. We got hit by a nasty virus that infected a bunch of servers for about a day. I really like having ownership of my PC. I can customise and upgrade it whenever I want. This means just about everyone has dual monitors because they only need to justify the cost to the only person who counts - themselves.
After Bilbo got the ring, he no longer aged. In LOTR, other hobbits would describe him as "well preserved" although the narrative said that "unchanged" was more accurate. Hence when Frodo got to Rivendell, a few months after the Long Expected Party, Bilbo was suddenly very elderly.
So, Iam Holm would be perfect to play Bilbo, even though The Hobbit takes place 60-odd years before the LOTR.
In terms of the other prequel, I suspect that it would deal with:
Dwarves retaking Moria
Aragorn growing up, falling in love with Arwn and spending time as an mysterious (unknown) inspirational battle leader in Gondor
Meh. I used to use an electronic tuner to tune up my accoustic guitar. But I found that using a tuning fork was better in the long run. I could tune up more quickly and it never ran out of batteries.
