Macro economic data: an instrument for government intervention
*Guest post by Frank Shostak*
It is generally held that for an economist to be able to assess the state

what is going on. The question that arises is why is it necessary to know

information serve?
[image: image]Careful examination of these issues shows that in a
free-market environment it doesn’t make much sense to measure and publish
various macro-economic indicators. This type of information is of little

Supplemental: Maddow continues her cry for help!
*TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2014 Nonsense every night now:* Rachel Maddow
continued her cry for help on last night’s eponymous program.
Rather plainly, Maddow has decided to use “our friends at Fox News” as a

let’s examine one part of her opening segment.
Maddow had the same peculiar look on her face she has had for weeks now. In

if the GOP takes control of the Senate.

Oil prices and the future of the middle-east
Part

There are many YouTube articles on whether or not you should buy silver, some pro, some con. How do we know who to believe? Well, when I saw that this one is by Dave Kranzler I knew this was the one to watch. Why? Because Paul Craig Roberts teamed with Kranzler to prove manipulation of the (paper) gold market. Bottom line: Paper silver is similarly being driven down, but much deeper than gold ...to a value lower than it costs to mine it. So buy physical silver now and expect its value to leap upward by a factor of 3 or 4 the day the dollar crashes ...which could be as soon as 6 months from now.

Navies of friendly countries keen on Indian sonars
[image: ABHAY (Compact Hull Mounted Sonar (HMS) System)]India is looking to
export indigenously developed hull-mounted sonars and negotiations are at
an advanced stage with the navies of three to four friendly nations.
SONAR (an acronym for Sound Navigation and Ranging) is used to detect
underwater targets. Like radar, used to detect long-range aerial and other
targets, sonars have applications in underwater surveillance, communication
and marine navigation.
Three units of these sonars have been exported to Myanmar. Officials from

Thales presents its new integrated mast I-Mast 500 at EURONAVAL 2014
In a tentative to combine its different existing products, Thales proposes
its new integrated mast I-MAST 500. I-Mast 500 integrates a I-Mast 400,
already installed on Dutch OPV Holland class, and an APAR Active Phased
Array Radar. Thales I-Mast 500 offers all the necessary capacities needed
by modern ships.
With the growing number of electronic systems that must be installed on
ships today (Radar, communication, ISR, guidance systems, etc...) arises
the problem of electronic interferences. Thales find a solution at this
problem by gathering the different systems in an unique integ... more »
Russia, China Continue Negotiations for Su-35S Fighters
[image: Su-35 Flanker-E]Ongoing changes in the political and military
landscape have prompted Russia and China into a stronger military and
industrial alliance.
Both countries feel increasingly isolated by the U.S. and its allies. Yet
while the expansion of ties between the Russian Armed Forces and China’s
People’s Liberation Army comes as no surprise, it has proven slow to
materialize.
Russia started negotiations to sell the Chinese on a batch of 24 Su-35S
single-seat multirole fighters in 2012. Speaking to the media recently, an

"Rise of ISIS" Documentary Points All of The Blame At Maliki, Wrongly
*Source: PBS.*
*"Frontline: The Rise of ISIS* (Tuesday, PBS, 10 p.m.) gives answers. It’s
a must-see background investigation and it lays blame. It doesn’t outright
condemn, but the conclusion is easily found – blame is laid at the feet of
Nouri al-Maliki, who was prime minister of Iraq from 2006 until 2014, and
the Obama administration, which dithered neurotically while al-Maliki
created the condition for ISIS to flourish.

Gaius' Quick Senate Scorecard for 2014 Races

As we move to election day, I'd like to offer the following as a quick
scorecard, a list of Senate races to watch.
In the following table, the first seven races (bolded) are those marked
"competitive" by the *New York Times* in an interesting interactive write-up.
The second group (Roman font) lists races I'm interested in, for a variety
of reasons. In some, the Republican is likely to win (for example,
McConnell, Collins, Capito). In others, the Democrat is given at least a
chance (Pryor, Landrieu). The Weiland race you've likely read about; he has

Conflict and judicial recusal
Conflict of interest remains a challenging area for judicial officers.
The recent Newfoundland and Labrador decision in Cabana v. Newfoundland and
Labrador, 2014 NLCA 34 suggests that disqualifying conflict may not be
present in matters where Ontario judicial officers have customarily found
it.
As a general rule Ontario judicial officers decline to hear contested
matters where one of the parties is represented by someone who is a member
of the same law firm as the judicial officer's spouse. So a judge will not
hear her husband's associate argue a matter.
The customary refusal is... more »

Where did the Butter go?
As I've said before in this blog, butter consumption in New Zealand was
high in the 1940's, was halved by wartime rationing (1943-1948), rose again
to its 1942/43 peak by the mid 60's, and is now a quarter what it was then.
How did people in the 1940's and 1960's manage to eat that much butter?
I've tried, and I can't do it, even on LCHF. And people back then didn't
have French cookery books, Julia Childs was still working for the OSS (she
didn't appear on NZ TV till the late 1980's, after Kiwis started drinking
wine).

Concentration!
The unique focus of the Montessori educational environment is on building
the child’s concentration – concentration being the key to everything that
follows.
The first essential for the child's development is concentration. It lays
the whole basis for his character and social behaviour. He must find out
how to concentrate, and for this he needs things to concentrate upon. This
shows the importance of his surroundings, for no-one acting on the child
from outside can cause him to concentrate.

A Note on Porn and Misogyny
I agree with Julie Bindel. There's a phrase that won't win many friends. In

few issues can. And as par the course for strict dividing lines, either
side are soon painted into absolutist corners. In this case, those against
banning porn self-identify as sex-positive as opposed to the sex-negative
killjoys on the other side. For the feminists and socialists who take the
opposite view, they are the ones who are consistent opponents of sexual
violence while the opposition are "malestream" feminists or left friends ... more »
