“Growing up in a very rural and remote area in Colorado's San Luis Valley - one of the poorest counties in the United States - essentially created the framework of values from which I operate.

“Substantial progress was made in spreading our foreign trade to other areas. Our total trade with Northwest Europe in the first 8 months of last year was 42.3 per cent above the corresponding period the year previous, and our total trade with Asia was up 13.5 per cent. For the first time since 1919, the United States in the first 8 months of 1956 accounted for less than 60 percent of our total trade.” YearsFirstsMadeStatesLastsUnitedUnited StatesProgressMonthsPeriodsPercentFirst TimeEuropeAreasTradeCentsLast YearAsiaCorrespondingForeign Trade Author:Ramon Magsaysay
“There is one key area in which Zuma has made no attempt at reconciliation whatsoever: criminal justice and security. The ministers of justice, defence, intelligence (now called "state security" in a throwback to both apartheid and the ANC's old Stalinist past), police and communications are all die-hard Zuma loyalists. Whatever their line functions, they will also play the role they have played so ably to date: keeping Zuma out of court - and making sure the state serves Zuma as it once did Mbeki.” MadeHardStatesPlayPastDiesLinesJusticeRolesSecurityCommunicationKeysAreasFunctionPoliceCourtCriminalsMinistersReconciliationDefenceApartheidCriminal JusticeThrowbackLoyalistsZuma Author:Mark Gevisser
“I did a series of classes in psychology (at the institute), .. The students that came to that class had children. And over a period of a few years, they decided they wanted a nursery school, a play group (to watch over their children while they were studying). So in one of the garages that was near where we were having the classes, we established a play group area and the students volunteered to supervise. That eventually led to building a state-licensed nursery school, which was approved by the California department of social welfare.” YearsChildrenStatesPlayWantedSchoolSocialClassWatchesStudyPsychologyGroupsStudentsBuildingPeriodsAreasDecidedSeriesCaliforniaWelfareDepartmentInstituteGarageApprovedNurserySocial WelfareNursery School Author:Dorothy Nolte

“It is important that the remaining scenic areas of the country be at once made into State or National Parks. Fortunately there still are a number of these wild places, but it will require effort to save them. Each Park proposed will have powerful and insidious opposition. The insidious opposition to National Parks will say, ‘There is a feeling in Congress that we should not have any more National Parks at this time’; or, ‘We should wait until present ones are improved.’” ShouldMadeStillsImportantCountryStatesFeelingsWaitingPowerfulNumbersEffortAreasCongressParksOppositionInsidiousNational ParksScenicWild Places Author:Enos Mills
“GWEN is a superb system, in combination with cyclotron resonance, for producing behavioural alterations in the civilian population. The average strength of the steady geomagnetic field varies from place to place across the United States. Therefore, if one wished to resonate a specific ion in living things in a specific locality, one would require a specific frequency for that location. The spacing of GWEN transmitters 200 miles apart across the United States would allow such specific frequencies to be 'tailored' to the geomagnetic-field strength in each GWEN area.” IfsStatesUnitedUnited StatesFieldsAreasAveragePopulationMilesCombinationSteadyLocationLiving ThingsCiviliansFrequencyVaryResonanceSuperbAlterationsTailoredLocalityIonsSpacingMiles Apart Author:Robert O.

“All the alleged key causes of SOE [State-Owned Enterprise] inefficiency - the principal-agent problem, the free-rider problem and the soft budget constraint - are, while real, not unique to state-owned enterprises. Large private-sector firms with dispersed ownership also suffer from the principal-agent problem and the free-rider problem. So, in these two areas, forms of ownership do matter, but the critical divide is not between state and private ownership - it is between concentrated and dispersed ownerships.” TwoRealMatterStatesProblemFormSufferingCausesKeysUniqueAreasCriticalAgentsBudgetsFirmEnterpriseDividesOwnershipPrincipalConstraintsRidersPrivate SectorInefficiency Author:Ha-Joon Chang
