A Trip to Prague and Budapest: Day 4
October 9, 2017 October 21, 2017 Leave a comment
My dad and I are on a Rick Steves Tour in Prague and Budapest. This was our fourth day in Prague and our second day of the tour.
You can find all my previous posts about this trip here.
This morning we met in the lobby of the hotel and Peter, our guide, handed out tram tickets to everyone. He led us to the tram stop and we got on the 22 up to Prague Castle.
We met Martin, who is our guide for Prague, since Peter is a Hungarian native and can tell us more about Budapest when we get there.
We went into the castle through the security checkpoint, where you have to put your bag and any metal in your pockets on a table and walk through and the guards say you're fine and to go on.
The lights at Prague Castle are cool.

We went to St Vitus Cathedral first.
The front part of St Vitus Cathedral.
Most of the Cathedral, including the front part, was built in the 1800s.
The inside had pretty stained glass and a lot of tombs.
The spire on the right was the last part of St Vitus Cathedral built during the first period of construction. The top of it and the spire on the left were added much later.
The side of the cathedral is where you can see the original parts built in the 1300s on the right and the newer parts on the left.
These flying buttresses are at the back end of St Vitus Cathedral at Prague Castle. The back end was the part started in the 1300s. The cathedral was completed in the 1800s.
The back is the original construction and has flying buttresses fortifying the towers against wind damage.
We then went to the Old Royal Palace and St George's Basilica. I don't remember anything about St George's Basilica.
There was a lot about Maria Theresa, the Hapsberg queen who was a great leader and barely lost any of her kingdom to wars and had 16 children, including Marie Antoinette.
Then we went to the Golden Lane, which is tiny houses that had been cheap housing for artists and writers in the 1800s. Kafka lived in one of the houses. You can tell which one because it is selling his books. The ones at the beginning are shops and the ones at the end are set up to show what they were like at various historical periods.
I didn't buy anything at the shops because they were crowded, but I did like the part set up like a film studio, with a cutting room and a showing room.
This is an old timey film studio in Prague Castle's Golden Lane where writers and artists, such as Kafka, lived in the 1800s. Swipe to see the showing room opposite this cutting room.
We then went to see the window where people were defenestrated and the changing of the guard in front of the castle.
After that, we went to the Strahov Monastery for lunch. It is a brewery, so I was hoping for a tour of that, but we just had lunch. We got soup and everyone at our table got goulash because it was loud and we couldn't hear the other options and the waitress was annoyed we asked five times.
Because it's a brewery, it's known for its beer, so I'm disappointed Bryce isn't here to try all the beer. I'll have to bring him sometime.
After lunch, my tour buddy and her mom got on the tram with me and my dad and we helped each other find our way back to the hotel. We keep being told the tram is easy to use. The hard part is figuring out when to get off. We decided if we got super lost, we would get off and find a Starbucks and use their internet to find our way back to the hotel, but we made it without having to resort to that.

World Map / Upcoming Elections / US Presidential election 2016 / US Election Updates / Romney holds back on attacks against Obama as northeast recovers from Sandy
US Election Updates - November 1, 2012
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney curbed his usual attacks on President Barack Obama on Wednesday as his campaign set out to offer a more optimistic message in the wake of superstorm Sandy.
As Obama traveled to New Jersey to assess the damage with Republican Governor Chris Christie, Romney headed back on the campaign trail in Florida, the most populous swing state where polls indicate he holds a marginal lead.
Republican Senator Marco Rubio and former Governor Jeb Bush, two of the most important politicians in the state, joined him at a rally in a Tampa airport hangar.
Romney, who canceled political events earlier this week due to Sandy, urged Florida voters to continue sending donations to the Red Cross to assist victims.
He pushed his message of unity forward by saying his election next Tuesday would be an example of Americans coming together.
"We come together at times like these. Now people coming together is what's also going to happen on November 7," he said, referring to the day after the election.
Though Romney did not mention Obama by name in his comments, he said electing a Republican would bring change.
"My view is pretty straightforward. I believe this is a time for America to take a different course, that this should be a turning point for our country," he said.

Canada Investor Immigration Program
Ottawa Under Fire as Wealthy Quebec Immigrant Investors Settle in BC and Ontario
Investment Immigration News
Ottawa Under Fire as Wealthy…
The federal government has taken fire for Quebec`s Immigrant Investor Program (QIIP) which offers residency to wealthy immigrants, mostly from China. Critics accuse Ottawa of disregarding that the vast majority of these individuals settle in British Columbia and Ontario, and deprive these provinces of federal immigrant settlement transfer payments which Quebec is unfairly receiving.
The critics would be better advised to aim their fire at the federal government to reclaim its role as a dominant player in the residence through investment industry as it has the policy basis and the market demand to do so.
Until 2014, the federal government gave entry-level millionaires a pathway to residency and ultimately, citizenship in Canada through its Canada Immigrant Investor Program (CIIP). The scheme operated largely on the interest income earned from investors' funds. The program benefits to Canada peaked during the 1990s, when interest rates were high. The program was terminated under much controversy in 2014 by the previous government which despite compelling favourable studies, claimed it provided no benefit to Canada. It was replaced in February 2015 with an unpopular Immigrant Investors Venture Capital Pilot Program (IIVCP) which the current federal immigration minister has publicly stated is practically non-existent due to the lack of interest from international investors.
As a consequence of this failed policy, Canada is losing out on attracting the world`s most successful business people and their families who otherwise would choose to settle here. British Columbia and to a lesser extent, Ontario is losing out on transfer payments being paid to Quebec for immigrant investors applying under its program which statistics show only 16% ultimately reside in the province.
The way out of this morass is clear. The Trudeau government should immediately get on with the task of re-designing the IIVCP. It just needs to create the right policies and a re-structured program that will succeed in attracting carefully chosen high net worth business people who will bring billions of dollars to Canadian businesses and create new businesses that will in turn create more jobs.
The benefits of the QIIP residency program to Quebec are undeniable. From 2001-2016, it gave $714 million to 4737 businesses in 17 territories in the province. As well, a compelling 2010 study conducted by three economists in Ontario and Quebec concluded that an average investor directly injects more than $770,000 into the economy during a five-year investment period.
Additionally, a recent statistics Canada report Immigration, Business Ownership and Employment in Canada, the first of its kind, confirms that immigrants are more likely than Canadians to establish businesses.
Ottawa should also consider establishing a citizenship through investment program, for ultra high net worth individuals and become a dominant Tier 1 country in the citizenship through investment arena.
Currently Austria, Malta and Cyprus are the only Tier 1 countries offering a direct path to citizenship while Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, St. Kitts and Nevis and Saint Lucia also offer such programs. In pursuing this new policy initiative, Canada would be in position to attract the world's most successful ultra high net worth business people along with their families and by extension their business networks. This could prove highly lucrative and provide Canada with a large inflow of cash which it badly needs. If executed strategically, Canada will also realize significant gains to its human capital in the immediate term and through the children of such business people, in the long term. The human capital benefit that the children of successful business people bring to Canada is immeasurable and invaluable.
How beneficial can a new federal residency and citizenship program be? This year, some 5,000 newcomers will be admitted under the Quebec program alone, which has been selecting its own business investor immigrants since 1986. Under a revised federal immigrant investors` program Ottawa would likely account for more than 70% of the market, a position it held at the peak of its popularity in 2010. In doing so, British Columbia and Ontario would then benefit from its share of Ottawa`s transfer payments as the two provinces would become the default choice for the overwhelming majority of applicants applying under the Quebec program.
Together with Quebec, Canada could again become a dominant player in the international residency through investment industry and perhaps match or surpass the popularity of the EB-5 program in the United States which admits 10,000 business immigrants annually.
If Canada is to return to the forefront of the business immigration field, it must replicate a modified format of the QIIP and other successful international programs by installing a well-devised, targeted model that creates a capital fund for Canadian businesses and attracts the right calibre of applicants on the basis of clear policy objectives featuring program integrity, international competitiveness, processing cost efficiency and fast processing.
The federal immigrant investors` venture capital program is dead but the need for high net worth business immigrants to Canada is not. The substantial financial benefits to Canada, a welcome advantage in the face of our current economic difficulties, could well be surpassed by the undeniable human capital benefits it would receive from the world's most innovative and wealthiest business people and their families who would choose to live in Canada. Additionally, Canada could take the lead on the global stage by creating an international charitable fund for refugees from a portion of the proceeds of investment inflow. In doing so, it would ensure that the world's wealthiest are directly assisting the world's immigrant population who are most affected by international conflicts. This is one of the hallmarks of effective immigration policy.

Yesterday, Dad, Brother Jeffrey, Sister Amy, her daughter Hope and I all went to a funeral together. While we traveled, Hope, who is fifteen-and-a-half and got her driver's permit after only a few tries, told us she doesn't like to drive.
Mom had a great love of cars and could name the make and model of a car with ease. She paid so much attention, she could tell you what kind of car everyone in Old Ford drove.
Grandma Reeves (1898-1990) had seven children, but I'm not sure she ever had a driver's license since she started driving before they were required. When Mom was fourteen (or so) Grandma sent her to a woman's house to buy eggs. The woman who sold the eggs also sold milk and butter. "She was a really hard worker," Dad said.
That was about 1945, and by that year, I'm pretty sure licenses were required in Oklahoma.
Anyway, this little fourteen-year-old (or so) girl took the family car from Tom Mann's house where they lived (north-west side of Old Ford, I think) and drove to the river bridge, which she had to cross.
Now that's a scary thought because, if I remember right the bridge had a kind of pathway where your tires were supposed to go.
Knowing I was going to drive across the bridge when I was fourteen would have made me really nervous, and having to get my tires in exactly the right place would have made me a wreck!
This bridge was like this, only longer.
Must have affected Mom, too, but she made it across. She drove on a little ways, and when the dirt road made a sharp turn, she cut it too sharp and was on the wrong side when she saw a car coming toward her. In her panic, she hit the brakes and just stopped, right where she was–on the wrong side.
The man coming toward her was Bill Taylor, Bob Taylor's grandfather. To this day my dad talks about what a nice, nice guy he was.
Bill was looking at something in the field and not watching the road, so he plowed right into Mama, whose car was still stopped on the wrong side of the road. And remember, she was fourteen. He probably could have made her family pay to fix his car.
But Bill wasn't like that. After the wreck, he calmed Mom down and insisted on paying for both cars to be fixed.
He thought he was at fault since he hadn't been paying attention, and he did what he knew in his heart was right, no matter what the law might have said.
Dad mentioned that Bill was an elder for years and years in the Christian Church in Old Ford.

Chocolates Sales in UAE to Grow at 8% through 2021
Increasing young and migrant population with growing demand for new and innovative flavors coupled with the introduction of innovative packaging to drive the UAE chocolate market through 2021
According to TechSci Research report, "UAE Chocolate Market By Type, By Age Group, By Point of Sale, Competition Forecast and Opportunities, 2011 – 2021", the chocolate market in the UAE is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 8% during 2016 – 2021. A wide array of factors positively influencing the growth of chocolate market in the UAE include rising per capita expenditure, growing youth population, escalating seasonal demand and entry of new domestic and international players. Moreover, expanding distribution channels and increasing number of exclusive stores are further anticipated to boost the demand for chocolates in the UAE market over the next five years.
Demand for premium chocolates is growing rapidly in the UAE as consumers are increasingly opting for chocolates as gift items on festivals and other occasions. Moreover, due to increasing health concerns, the demand for dark chocolates, which are rich in antioxidants and have the potential to prevent cardiac diseases as well as several other diseases, is growing at a robust pace. However, factors like fluctuating raw material prices, dependency on unstable markets for supply of cocoa, and counterfeit markets are restraining the growth of UAE chocolate market.
UAE chocolate market has been segmented into three categories, namely, countline, molded and boxed. The countline segment dominated the overall UAE chocolate market in 2015, and the segment is anticipated to maintain its dominance over the next five years as well. Countlines are chocolate bars containing wafer or caramel, and are most popular among teenagers and consumers under 25 years of age. However, boxed chocolate segment is anticipated to grow at a faster pace during 2016 – 2021 owing to growing demand for premium chocolates from high income consumers, and introduction of innovative and attractive packaging by various domestic and international players in the boxed chocolate category.
Few of the leading players operating in the UAE chocolate market include Mars GCC, Ferrero SpA, Nestlé Middle East, Mondelez Middle East and Africa FZE and Lindt & Sprüngli, among others. "UAE chocolate market is becoming an attractive destination for international players, especially those who are offering high-end products. Backed by high per capita income, the demand for high-end or premium chocolates is increasing in the country, thereby offering growth opportunities for overseas players.", said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director with TechSci Research, a research based global management consulting firm.
"UAE Chocolate Market By Type, By Age Group, By Point of Sale, Competition Forecast and Opportunities, 2011 – 2021" has analyzed the potential of the UAE chocolates market and provides statistics and information on market sizes, shares, consumer behavior and trends. The report will suffice in providing the intending clients with cutting-edge market intelligence and help them in taking sound investment decisions. Besides, the report also identifies and analyzes the emerging trends along with essential drivers and key challenges faced by the industry.

Von Giuseppe Farina bis zum aktuellen Titelträger Lewis Hamilton. Das sind alle FormelWeltmeister seit Die folgenden Listen bieten einen Überblick über alle FormelWeltmeister (bis Automobil-Weltmeister) der Fahrer und Konstrukteure. Okt. , Lewis Hamilton (Großbritannien), Mercedes, Mercedes. , Sebastian Vettel (Deutschland, Infiniti Red Bull, Red Bull Racing.
Brabham Alfa Romeo 3. Red Bull Renault 2. Red Bull Renault 1. Titel Fahrer Jahr 7. Titel Fahrer Jahr 1. Jack Brabham 3 , Alan Jones 1.
After struggling with reliability issues throughout winter testing, the season did not start much better for Vettel. At the Australian Grand Prix , software issues meant Vettel qualified in twelfth position  and forced him to retire from the race after just three laps.
Vettel was denied an early release from his Red Bull contract to test the Ferrari car in Abu Dhabi post-race.
Vettel followed that up with winning the Malaysian Grand Prix ,  his first race win for over a year and the first win for Ferrari for almost two years.
It was also his 40th Grand Prix win, putting him one win behind Ayrton Senna , the 3rd-placed driver on the all-time list. Vettel commented that he lost his rhythm during the race and did not have enough confidence in the rear end of the car, but nevertheless remained positive about the performance potential of the car.
Mercedes made a strategic error in bringing dominant leader Hamilton in for new tyres at the late safety car, placing him right behind Vettel. The duel that followed made Vettel fall back from Rosberg, but he managed to hold off Hamilton to finish an unlikely second.
With Hamilton being told by his engineer that it was "critical" to pass Verstappen, Vettel stayed out six laps longer. Vettel built up just enough of a gap to pit and re-join ahead of Verstappen, but more crucially, Hamilton.
By the time Verstappen pitted a few laps later, Vettel had already pulled around five seconds clear of Hamilton and from there on, comfortably controlled the race and cruised to his 43rd career victory.
Hamilton though was out of reach, leaving Vettel having to settle for second; the pair were now joint leaders of the championship. Vettel took his second victory of the year in Bahrain.
Having started third, Vettel moved ahead of Hamilton at the start and kept with pole-sitter Bottas until the first round of pit stops. Bottas pitted for the one and only time on lap 27, Vettel staying out seven laps longer.
Despite missing out on his third win of the year, Vettel extended his lead at the top of the standings to 13 points, with nearest challenger Hamilton only finishing 4th.
Vettel also finished 4th in Azerbaijan. The race was full of incident, featuring three Safety Cars and a red flag.
Just before the second Safety Car period was coming to an end, Vettel collided into the rear of race leader Hamilton, accusing his title rival of brake testing him.
Starting 3rd, Vettel lost a place to Verstappen at the start and remained behind the Red Bull until undercutting him during the pit-stop window.
In Hungary , Vettel took his 2nd pole position of the season; his 3rd in Budapest and the 48th of his career. A hydraulic issue appeared on the morning of the race, but the problem was fixed before the start.
It was announced in Belgium that Vettel had signed a new three-year deal with Ferrari, keeping him at the Scuderia until In a wet qualifying session, which contained a 2 and a half-hour delay, he could only qualify in 8th, but would start 6th due to penalties for the two Red Bulls.
If Vettel were mathematically still in the championship, realistically, his now slim hopes of a fifth world title were ended in Japan. Ferrari believed the issue was fixed, with Vettel starting the race in second in what was a must-win race.
However, the spark plug issue remained, and Vettel soon retired from the race. Vettel secured his first podium since Monza in the USA , by finishing where he started in second place.
For the second consecutive year, Vettel began his season with victory in Australia , the 48th of his career.
The result was his th podium with only Schumacher, Hamilton and Prost having more , whilst he also became just the 3rd man in Formula One history after Schumacher and Hamilton to have led laps.
Hamilton went on to win the race, while Vettel finished in fourth and subsequently lost the championship lead to the Brit.
Vettel missed out on a podium for a third consecutive race in Spain , as he finished 4th, with Hamilton winning again to extend his championship lead to 17 points.
However, contact on the opening lap with Hamilton saw Vettel damage his front wing and drop to the back of the field.
In the USA , Vettel was given a three-place grid penalty for failing to slow down sufficiently during a red flag period in first practice. Having narrowly missed out on setting the fastest time in qualifying to Hamilton, it meant he would start in 5th.
Just like the previous season, Vettel lost the title with 2 races to go, however this time with no reliability issues at all. At the start of Q2, following an exploratory lap, Vettel pitted to change tyres and get a time in before rain fell, but was called for his car to be weighed.
The Scuderia has a great tradition in this sport and I am extremely motivated to help the team get back to the top. I will put my heart and soul into making it happen.

James Patrick "Jim" Caviezel Jr. (* 26. September 1968 in Mount Vernon, Washington) ist ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler, der vor allem für seine Rolle als John Reese in der Fernsehserie Person of Interest sowie für seine Darstellung des Jesus von Nazareth in der Passion Christi bekannt ist.

Leben
Caviezels Großvater kommt aus Pruastg bei Lumbrein im Kanton Graubünden in der Schweiz. Caviezel wuchs an seinem Geburtsort Mount Vernon im Bundesstaat Washington auf. Seine Eltern Jim und Maggie Caviezel – beide streng römisch-katholisch – besuchten jeden Sonntag mit ihren fünf Kindern die Heilige Messe. James "Jim" Caviezel senior ist Chiropraktiker mit eigener Praxis in Mount Vernon. James Caviezel hat vier Geschwister.

Caviezel begeisterte sich bereits früh für Religion, aber auch für Sport, insbesondere für Basketball. 1984 besuchte Caviezel die Mount Vernon High School, wechselte nach zwei Jahren an die O'Dea High School und zog bald zu Freunden seiner Familie. Noch im selben Frühjahr ging er dann auf die Burien Kennedy High School in Seattle, um für das dortige Basketball-Schulteam zu spielen, und wurde dort zum Mr. Prettiest Eyes gekürt.

1987 immatrikulierte sich der Linkshänder Caviezel am Bellevue Community College, wurde später Mitglied der Studentenverbindung Sigma Chi und dort ebenfalls in das Basketball-Team des Colleges aufgenommen. Eine Fußverletzung beendete im zweiten Studienjahr seine Basketball-Karriere und den Traum, eines Tages in der amerikanischen Basketball-Profiliga spielen zu können. Seitdem verlagerte Caviezel sein Interesse auf die Schauspielerei und wechselte später an die University of Washington. Außerdem wurde er ein großer Fan der Minnesota Vikings, eines Vereins, der der amerikanischen American-Football-Profiliga (NFL) angehört. 1990, im Jahr nach seiner Minirolle in My Private Idaho, zog er nach Los Angeles in das große Haus eines Professors an der University of Southern California und kellnerte zwischen den College-Vorlesungen in einem Strandrestaurant.

Caviezel gilt als sehr religiös. Er unterstützte mehrfach in Wahlkämpfen Kandidaten der Republikanischen Partei, wie etwa den für seine christlich-fundamentalistischen Ansichten bekannten Rick Santorum. 2006 sorgte Caviezel für Aufsehen, als er sich in einem Wahlkampfspot gegen Stammzellenforschung aussprach und dabei eine kryptische aramäische Äußerung tätigte, die mit "Ihr betrügt den Menschensohn mit einem Kuss" übersetzt wurde. Dies wurde weithin so interpretiert, dass Caviezel den Befürwortern der Stammzellenforschung vorwirft, mit ihrer Forschung unter Vorspiegelung menschenfreundlicher Haltung Gottes Schöpfung zu betrügen.

Privat

James Caviezel heiratete 1996 die Lehrerin Kerri Browitt. Im Jahr 2007 adoptierte das Ehepaar einen chinesischen Jungen, Bo, und später auch ein Mädchen, LeLe. Mittlerweile hat das Paar ein drittes Kind aus China adoptiert.

Filmkarriere
1990 erhielt Caviezel seine erste Rolle als italienischer Ticketverkäufer in dem Independent-Film My Private Idaho, indem er beim Casting erzählte, er sei ein gerade eingewanderter Italiener. Ebenfalls Anfang der 1990er Jahre nahm Caviezel an einem Casting für die Fernsehserie Melrose Place teil, da er dachte, dass ihn dies in Hollywood bekannter machen würde. Die Casting-Regisseurin fand allerdings, dass er nicht so recht in die Serie passen würde, und erteilte ihrem Agenten die Anweisung, Caviezel nie wieder zu einem Casting einzuladen, da er auf sie etwas "seltsam" (strange) wirkte.

Nach kleineren Nebenrollen etwa in The Rock – Fels der Entscheidung und Die Akte Jane erhielt er in Terrence Malicks Kriegsepos Der schmale Grat (1998) überraschend die Hauptrolle, was insbesondere deshalb bemerkenswert war, weil zahlreiche etablierte Hollywoodstars in dem Film Nebenrollen übernahmen. Nach diesem Durchbruch wurde Caviezel für diverse namhafte Hollywoodproduktionen gecastet, etwa Ang Lees Ride with the Devil, Gregory Hoblits Frequency an der Seite von Dennis Quaid und 2001 auf Empfehlung von Jennifer Lopez in Angel Eyes. 2002 spielte er Edmond Dantes in der Romanverfilmung Monte Cristo, wofür er zahlreiche positive Kritiken erhielt. 2003 war er an der Seite von Robin Williams in The Final Cut zu sehen.

2004 übernahm er die Rolle des Jesus von Nazareth in Mel Gibsons Film Die Passion Christi. Caviezel, ein ausgewiesener Bewunderer Mel Gibsons, sagte im Mai 2004 in einem Interview gegenüber der San Diego Union Tribune über diesen: "Mit Mel zu arbeiten ist wie Walzer tanzen mit einem tropischen Wirbelsturm. Er ist ein großartiger Mensch und zudem ein begnadeter Künstler". Das höchst umstrittene Filmprojekt sowie Caviezels hohe Identifikation mit ihm wirkten sich in der Folge negativ auf seine Karriere aus. Der zuvor sehr gefragte Darsteller erhielt deutlich weniger Rollenangebote. Caviezel behauptete später, dies geahnt, aber in Kauf genommen zu haben.

Zu nennenswerten Projekten zählten in der Folge noch Déjà Vu – Wettlauf gegen die Zeit (2006), in dem Caviezel eine Nebenrolle bekleidete, und der Fantasyfilm Outlander (2008), der jedoch in den USA nur von wenigen Kinos ins Programm genommen und zu einem finanziellen Flop wurde. 2009 wirkte Caviezel in der Fernsehproduktion The Prisoner – Der Gefangene mit, und ab 2011 verkörperte er sechs Jahre die Hauptrolle des ehemaligen CIA Special Activities Division Operator John Reese in der Serie Person of Interest.

Is Global Recession Looming?
Cross-posted from The Real News Network
According to Heiner Flassbeck, former head of UNCTAD, there are many factors pointing to a convergence in a normal cyclical downturn, deepening recession in Europe, complicated by a potential "no deal" Brexit.
Story Transcript
PAUL JAY: If you listen to the business press, it won't be long before we're in recession, and perhaps globally something even more serious. That's coming up next on The Real News Network.
[TRNN INTRO]
PAUL JAY: Well, as I said, if you listen to the gurus of finance that show up on Bloomberg Radio and other financial press and information, they are predicting a recession, perhaps before the end of 2019. And there is also lots of concern about the state of the global financial architecture, to use the kind of words they use in the financial and business press. One can see it in the stock market zooming up, and it doesn't take a heck of a lot for it to zoom way down. There is tremendous volatility, and nobody quite knows what is coming next, I suppose, except if you're in the know you can make a lot of money out of the volatility.
At any rate, now joining us to help make some sense of all this is Heiner Flassbeck. Heiner is director of Flassbeck Economics, a consultancy for global macro questions. Heiner is the former chief of macroeconomics and development of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. Thanks for joining us, Heiner.
HEINER FLASSBECK: Thanks for inviting me.
PAUL JAY: Where are you coming today? Where are you today?
HEINER FLASSBECK: In Geneva, close to Geneva and France.
PAUL JAY: OK. So talk about, first of all, why are so many, it seems, in the business consultancy, predictors, predicting a slowdown and recession, perhaps by the end of 2019? And it will be very interesting timing, because if there is a recession it within that time frame, then it could well come, you know, leading up into the 2020 elections in the United States.
HEINER FLASSBECK: Well, you see, we have a number of signals all around the world that show that a recovery may be over. We have to look at different regions for different reasons. But in the United States where there was a long recovery, unemployment is down. There was not the kind of investment we had expected, that everybody had expected. But nevertheless, it was a long recovery. And the Fed has done what it normally does in the recovery, it increased interest rates. Not very much, again, because we are in a very special situation. I'll explain later. But nevertheless, this is the usual cyclical pattern that we see in the United States.
In Europe it's a bit different. In Europe we had more or less no recovery, only a very, very brief recovery of 1.5 years or so. And there are signs of a recession even stronger in Europe. In Japan, also, there was quite a bit of a recovery. In China we had 30 years of a boom, and at a certain point is a boom is coming to an end. And all this may come together now and create, indeed, a very dangerous situation for the global economy.
PAUL JAY: Start with talking about China, because again I'm reading in the business press there's been a lot of state lending to create this boom. There's been a lot of infrastructure spending. And there's talk now in China of kind of pulling back, and that even though things may slow down they may not continue the same kind of stimulus. They're talking about the cost of borrowing that's happening. What do you make of the Chinese situation?
HEINER FLASSBECK: Well, I think China is still absolutely able to pump money into the economy if it does need it. And I'm sure they would do it. Maybe they let the growth rate come down. We still talk about very high growth rates of 6, 7 percent. They may let it come down to 5 percent, 4 percent, but not much lower than this. The government has the means and the government has the ability to stimulate the economy, and that is exactly what they would do. So I'm not too much afraid about China. But as I said, it's it's a normalization at a certain point. They have, indeed, an enormous amount of construction, all kinds of construction. And at a certain point you always get into a kind of public situation where this is going to be stopped, or this is going to stop automatically, more or less.
PAUL JAY: So if China has the capacity to kind of avoid a more serious downturn, then the more trigger points in terms of recession, and that's a little different than a financial crisis as we saw in '07-'08, although they're often linked, then the triggers for something deeper are what? Europe?
HEINER FLASSBECK: Europe is the biggest problem. You see, the United States were quite pragmatic. They had fiscal policy, extremely expansionary fiscal policy all the time. in Europe the situation is really really dangerous, because we had, as I said, no recovery. Unemployment is still very high in many countries. In France is 9 percent, in Italy it's more than 10 percent. So we had no investment boom in Europe, not even in Germany, which was the country that is best off of all of them. And so for now it just remained zero, and we're going into recession. So there is no possibility to stimulate the economy from the monetary side. And on the fiscal side, and this is the worst thing, on the fiscal side there is this enormous dogma in Europe that you should not use fiscal policy. Which is crazy, which is absolutely crazy.
PAUL JAY: Explain for a second for viewers who don't follow these things what you mean by fiscal policy.
HEINER FLASSBECK: Fiscal policy is stimulating demand by government debt. By more government debt. In the United States we have seen Trump was more than active. The government debt, US government debt, is according to European terms exploding. You're reaching 100 percent of GDP, which is not really a big problem. But given the dogma in Europe it it would be close to disaster. In Europe they would say with 100 percent of GDP you don't get money from the market anymore. Which is ridiculous and wrong, but it is exactly what they say. And that is why Europe is stuck in its own dogma. And this dogma prevents it from doing reasonable things, and that is why this situation is getting worse.
Italy, which is a country which was in a recession for more or less ten years, is now going again down. I think that I would not call it a recovery. It was just a little, little upswing for a year or so. And now it's going down again. And the government was elected to change the economy, but it was not allowed to change the economy because it was blocked by the European dogma not going for government debt.
So this is all extremely crazy, and it's dangerous. It's dangerous. It's politically extremely dangerous, because what are people going to do? The left is joining this dogma of having no debt and having this kind of solid government finances. And so the people are voting more to the right. In Italy the next election, if it will come soon, it may come sooner than expected because the government may break, then they would vote 30, 35 percent for the Lega. Lega is a right-wing rather nationalist party, but they are pragmatic in terms of economic policy. So this is the crazy thing, the situation that we are facing.
PAUL JAY: And what–if there is a hard Brexit, meaning if the United Kingdom leaves Europe with no deal whatsoever, what does that do to an already fragile European economic situation?
HEINER FLASSBECK: Yeah, it could end up in a disaster if no one reacts immediately in terms of sort of, say, giving a safety net to these economies that the uncertainty is dramatically increasing. Nobody knows what happens to the trade relations with the United Kingdom. So that could really trigger a deep, deep recession. And as I said, given the situation Europe is in, it would be politically a plain disaster, a huge disaster. And that would have definitely negative spillover to all of the world.
PAUL JAY: So why is Europe playing such hardball with the UK in terms of the negotiations, and the dates, and all of this?
HEINER FLASSBECK: I mean, the Brexiteers in the UK where extremely naive. I mean, if you want to go out of a club, and you have some obligation to that club, you better ask the people before in the club, the other members, what they think about Brexit, and not go out or say "I want to go out" without talking about my my obligation that I still have, and the rules that they have to change. All this, they were extremely naive. I mean, this Johnson guy and this Farage, they were kids. They were ridiculously stupid people, and they put the UK in this situation.
PAUL JAY: Well, I guess their agenda was just a far-right political kind of takeover, and this was a means to that end.
HEINER FLASSBECK: But I'm not sure what they get in the end. I mean, the first round they disappeared. Both of them disappeared, more or less. And they may come up again if the whole thing is going to collapse and is a no-deal Brexit. But nobody knows.
PAUL JAY: If Europe does, within a year or so, sink into a deep depression, recession–I shouldn't use the word depression–recession, what does that mean to North America and the rest of the global economy?
HEINER FLASSBECK: Well, it would be to the United States where that the situation is getting more difficult than it is. It is not, as I said, it's not really so difficult in the United States, because there was a long recovery. It was not made by Mr. Trump. It came from Obama. But Trump did everything to keep it. And even if it is slowing down now, I'm sure they will not shy away from again pumping money into the economy. And that is the only thing you can do. Because you see, the global dimension shows that we're in a very, very strange situation. We're in a strange situation because monetary policy, as I said, is no longer available, more or less, in the world, even in the United States. Cutting interest rates by 1 percent will not change very much. You have no other means to stimulate the economy than fiscal policy. This is this the paradox construction that we have inherited from neoliberalism.
PAUL JAY: Again, meaning creating more money, which creates more government debt. Which in the United Sates they want to spend most of it–they seem to want to spend most of it on military production here.
HEINER FLASSBECK: Yeah, that is true. They could do reasonable things. The US infrastructure is clearly looking for investment, needs investment. So you could do very many reasonable things. But it is not, it is not happening. And this is our main problem, that we have given up all other ways, we have given up all the instruments that we have had available in the past. You see, this is the resul–and this is very important to understand–the result of neoliberalism. The paradox is neoliberalism, which is putting pressure on the wages of the average people all the time for 30 years, and with creating a deflationary situation by this has taken our monetary policy out of the game.
So with monetary policy out of the game, with wages depressed, you cannot stimulate this economy anymore. Only with fiscal policy, with pump priming, with deficit spending. Call it whatever you want.
PAUL JAY: There's got to be some limit to how much of that you can do before people start to wonder what is the currency worth.
HEINER FLASSBECK: Look at Japan. There's a long way to go for the United States. Japan is close to 300 percent GDP; the US are now at 100 percent. So there is quite a way to go. And there are no limits. Definitely there are no limits. You have this discussion about MMT in the United States, the Modern Monetary Theory. Their point is right. One point is absolutely valid. There are hardly no limits for government debt in our kind of economies. You can go a very, very long way to stimulate the economy, as I said. But there is nothing else available. Nothing else is available. This is what neoliberalism has created.
PAUL JAY: Now, in '07-'08 there was a bubble burst, subprime. The amount of speculation going on and the banks were participating in was such that the banks didn't trust other banks in terms of interbanking lending. And the–it was a financial system meltdown, not just something within the more cyclical, normal cyclical goals of the economy. What's the danger of that? Because they've gotten rid of regulatory things like Dodd Frank in the United States almost completely. Wall Street is kind of speculating at will. How fragile is the whole architecture of the financial system?
HEINER FLASSBECK: It is not as fragile as '07-'08, because we do not have that many bubbles, so to say, blowing up this time than it was at that time. We do not have a construction bubble in United States. We have one in China, but nowhere else, I think. We do not have that kind of commodity speculation that we had at that time. And we do not have so crazy, crazy speculation in currency all around the world. The only thing we have, we still have overvalued stock market, that's for sure, in many countries of the world, including the United States. But this is not such a big danger for the economy, even if the stock market would collapse at a certain point in time, would go down 10,000 points, it would not be a disaster for the economy.
PAUL JAY: So in the immediate, meaning within the next year, year and a half, it's not an '07-'08 crash you're seeing, but the possibility and even likelihood of a relatively deep recession is possible?
HEINER FLASSBECK: It depends on what policy does now. If policy is not reacting, say if in the United States Mr. Trump and the Republicans would come to the conviction that now government debt has reached the limit and you cannot do anything anymore, if in Europe they stick to their dogmatic position about fiscal policy, then everything can happen. That recession can become very deep. At the moment I do not see that, and you cannot forecast it. But the situation is fragile, because we're still at the brink of a deflationary situation. So we could anyway, any time, slip into deflation again. We could anytime slip into, so to say, a depression of the expectations of the average people concerning their income, their future income, and that could deepen the whole thing. So vigilance on the side of policy is absolutely necessary, and the willingness to react immediately when the economy comes down.
PAUL JAY: All right. Thanks for joining us, Heiner.
HEINER FLASSBECK: You're welcome.
PAUL JAY: And thank you for joining us on The Real News Network.

The debt crisis scares me more than the other issues.

Great interview, wow!
Don Q, I'm wondering about two things:
1.) Why are the Europeans so rigidly dogmatic in terms of economic policy?
2.) A cratering stock market may, Flassbeck says, not be that big a deal, but what about the health of the big pension funds? Here in NL they are already talking about cuts in payments. I assume the two are linked to some degree. I've heard the zero interest rates are already hurting them, if the stock prices also crashed… ???

Granblue Fantasy: Versus – Review
April 7, 2020	- Ibuki	- 2 Comments
Good: Graphics, Story Mode
Bad: Gear system, No alterations in visual novel portion
For some reason, fighting games have been flooding our site for the last few weeks. We tried our hands at the One Punch Man game, as well as the new My Hero One's Justice game, which were both based on anime series. Now we have a more traditional fighting game lined up, Granblue Fantasy: Versus. The game is an authentic 2D fighting game, but it tries to distance itself from other similar titles by adding an RPG based storyline to the game. We were not only impressed with the story crafting of the game, but also by its magnificent visuals.
The game's story brings us to a somewhat traditional anime plot. You'll be playing as a good young knight, who is bound to Lyria, a young girl that has special powers. She once was a tool for a fallen empire, but you were able to break her free, together with one of the high-ranked soldiers, Katalina, of said empire. Now things have been holly-jolly, as you have been exploring the world together. Nonetheless, something is amiss, as your trusted friend Katalina seems to remember nothing of your journeys together and is now trying to capture Lyria for the revived empire. It becomes clear that there's more than meets the eye, and you'll have several hours worth of story content to figure everything out.
Granblue's Story mode is a bit different than the actual fighting game, as you'll have some different gameplay mechanics, as well as exclusive bosses to battle. The story is presented through small and short cutscenes and visual novel segments.
While we won't state that this is the best looking fighting game out there, it certainly is the prettiest. The character models are phenomenally handled and they just look amazing. The backdrops are a bit more static, but you'll be watching the characters and the action on the foreground anyway. The game also allows you to alter the colors of your characters, which creates a few fun combinations, but in the story mode, this doesn't alter your characters in the cutscenes, which is a bit of a shame, as the visual novel portion of the game doesn't do much in terms of character movement anyway. The latter feels a bit like a missed opportunity for a game that wants to be something new with its expansive story mode.
The sound design is certainly serious, but many tracks are constantly looped. We reckon this is by creating certain signature tunes you'll sync with certain events in the game, but even so, a bit more variation would have been nice.
We loved the game's voice acting, be it in original Japanese or the English dub. There was one minor setback for those wanting to play the game with the original voices, namely the subtitles are so tiny it doesn't provide a pleasant experience.
Granblue Fantasy: Versus is pretty much a traditional 2D fighting game with a fairly big story mode incorporated in the gameplay. The story can also be played in a multiplayer format, which is quite fun, but for the most part, the AI does a formidable job backing you up.
Granblue's meat can be found in its rather lengthy story mode, which spans over several hours. The game will pit you against low ranked grunts in 2D battles, as well as other characters for regular battles. The story mode also incorporates a gear system, that allows you to deal more damage, have an HP boost, or equip certain support skills. We were impressed with the detailed story mode, even though the gear system's mechanics aren't overly clear for the most part. You unlock new weapon skins for your characters to use outside of the story mode, which is also a nice motivation to press on.
The game's mechanics and controls are fairly straightforward and simple, but complex enough to be interesting for veterans in the genre. Your basic combos can be performed with the normal attack buttons, and special moves are done with a two-button combination. A finisher is done along the lines you would execute a simple move in games such as Street Fighter. There are proper blocking and dodging mechanics in place, as well as a decent recovery system. The campaign does add a few extra skill and gear options to this equation, but nothing overly complicated. We have to state that the game is overly sensitive when playing with the left stick, as it's nearly impossible to sprint, and you'll more than often jump, rather than simply move. We advise playing with the D-pad.
Granblue Fantasy: Versus is a great game, that seemingly will get more content in the future when we check out the main announcements every time we boot up the game. Nonetheless, as it currently stands this game is a wonderful fighting game for both single-player enthusiasts, as well as those looking to battle other players or do something cooperatively. This might just be one of the better 2D fighters we've seen in a long time.

I am a Puerto Rican girl that studied almost all her life in Puerto Rico. Until I moved to New Jersey when I was 16 and it impacted my education. Even though that I went to a privet school in Puerto Rico that started to use computers in middle school and in 9th gradeI went to a public school that I went there was a couple of projectors in the classroom. But it wasn't compered to the technology that a school has in the United States.
No, I didn't went to a privet school there, neither I am saying that all public schools had the same technology that the High school that I went.
The internet and technology in education is becoming so crucial, right now the books are in pdf as all teachers are using powerpoint to put the important information about the theme that they are talking in class leaving books aside.
Its great because you are saving paper, same as you are making your class more dynamic. But are we retraining all the information that they are giving us?
For the students that are pretty visual is great cuz it helps to learn and it kind of helps to understand some things. But when they are in math class that flips. They need to be hands on doing that mathematical problem and not seeing some video that the pdf book offers.
Making you think is technology is helping us learn or making a hole in our learning experience?
The Internet and technology has their pros and cons. Because with the internet we have it on the tip of our fingers, we don't need to go to a library to read a book about it or a encyclopedia. Same as we don't need to be doing lines to use a computer, we have a smartphone in our pocket to write a paper or look up the info. But regarding education it becomes more complex.


India and the UAE signed a currency pact on Tuesday that allows both the countries to conduct trade in their own currencies by eliminating a third benchmark currency like the U.S Dollars.
Lok Sabha has finally passed the bill, which criminalises the practice of instant triple talaq, with the government rejecting the contention that it was aimed at targeting a particular community.
The incident was caught on CCTV camera.
