  • Climate and Resilience Bill
    Press kit Presentation of the bill to the Council of Ministers 10 february 2021 A LAW TO GET FRENCH SOCIETY IN THE AGE OF ECOLOGY In the same way that founding laws on freedom of the press and secularism laid down the core principles of the Republic in the early 20th century, the law drawn from the work of the Citizen’s Climate Convention will sustainably anchor ecology in our contemporary society. This text has already paved the way for a new type of law-making, based on a more participatory democracy. It will also enable us to transform our society and growth model and bring about significant changes. With this law, environmental concerns will become an integral part of the daily lives of French citizens, helping them to make more sustainable decisions when it comes to travel, housing, consumption and production. The law aims to get us through the crucial «last mile» of the transition : a significant change in our lifestyles. This text aims to do just that, by placing ecology at the heart of the French model and to permeate the most fundamental aspects of French society : schools, public services, corporate life, justice, but also housing and town planning, advertising, and transport for work and holidays. This law will not only have consequences on economical institutions to bring about a faster reduction in carbon intensity, it will innervate our culture, promoting environmental education, responsible advertising and reduced consumption. France is proud to lead these transformations in the face of a major health crisis coupled with an economic and social crisis.

  • The Wisselbank and Amsterdam Price Volatility: a Fractal Test of the Austrian Fractional-Reserve Banking Hypothesis
    THE WISSELBANK AND AMSTERDAM PRICE VOLATILITY: A FRACTAL TEST OF THE AUSTRIAN FRACTIONAL-RESERVE BANKING HYPOTHESIS CHRISTOPHER P. GUZELIAN* ROBERT F. MULLIGAN** Fecha de recepción: 8 noviembre 2015. Fecha de aceptación: 15 diciembre 2015. Resumen: Analizando los datos históricos correspondientes al Banco de Áms- terdam de 1708 a 1788 concluimos que la evidencia empírica confirma (o al menos no refuta) la hipótesis austriaca sobre los negativos efectos de la banca con reserve fraccionaria. Palabras clave: Banca con reserva fraccionaria, expansión monetaria, estabili- dad de precios, equilibrio. Clasificación JEL: E42, E44, N13, N23, N83. Abstract: Using 1708-1788 historical data, we test the Austrian hypothesis that fractional-reserve banking destabilizes commodity prices, complicating eco- nomic calculation and entrepreneurial planning, and contributes to boom-bust cycles. The Bank of Amsterdam («Wisselbank», 1609-1819) maintained high reserve requirements until the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War (1780-1784), when its reserve ratio plummeted from nearly 100% in 1778 to around 20% by 1788. We compare price volatilities for 1722-1779 and 1780-1788 using fractal Hurst exponents. For all commodity prices tested, fractal volatility was higher during the lower fractional reserve period, except for rye, wheat, and Hamburg Bills of Exchange. Bill of Exchange stability was likely attributable to Hamburg transport ships’ ability to evade British incursion and to the Wisselbank’s legal * Associate Professor, Thomas Jefferson School of Law, San Diego (guzelian@po- box.com). ** Professor, School of Economics & Management, Western Carolina University ([email protected]).

  • Controversial Religion Bill Goes to Chamber of Deputies
    FORUM 18 NEWS SERVICE, Oslo, Norway http://www.forum18.org/ The right to believe, to worship and witness The right to change one's belief or religion The right to join together and express one's belief This article was published by F18News on: 31 January 2006 ROMANIA: Controversial religion bill goes to Chamber of Deputies By Felix Corley, Forum 18 News Service <http://www.forum18.org> Religious minorities and human rights groups are worried over the proposed new religion law, which resumes its parliamentary progress in the lower house, the Chamber of Deputies, on 1 February. "This is a very critical time for religious liberty in Romania," Evangelical Alliance president Pastor Paul Negrut told Forum 18 News Service. He complained that the government-drafted law passed unchanged through the upper house, the Senate, in December. Peter Eckstein-Kovacs, head of the Senate's legal committee, recognises that the draft is "problematic" but denied to Forum 18 that its adoption by the Senate without a vote had been a "trick". Adventists, Baptists and other Protestants, Greek Catholics, Jehovah's Witnesses and Baha'is have already complained about the draft law. "The draft law infringes many laws and the Constitution of Romania, as well as international human rights commitments to which Romania is subject," Iustina Ionescu of the Bucharest-based Centre for Legal Resources told Forum 18. Romania's controversial government-drafted religion bill - which passed through the upper house of parliament, the Senate, unchanged without a vote in December 2005 - is set to resume its parliamentary progress tomorrow (1 February) when it goes to the Standing Bureau of the lower house, the Chamber of Deputies.

  • Mtv and Transatlantic Cold War Music Videos
    102 MTV AND TRANSATLANTIC COLD WAR MUSIC VIDEOS WILLIAM M. KNOBLAUCH INTRODUCTION In 1986 Music Television (MTV) premiered “Peace Sells”, the latest video from American metal band Megadeth. In many ways, “Peace Sells” was a standard pro- motional video, full of lip-synching and head-banging. Yet the “Peace Sells” video had political overtones. It featured footage of protestors and police in riot gear; at one point, the camera draws back to reveal a teenager watching “Peace Sells” on MTV. His father enters the room, grabs the remote and exclaims “What is this garbage you’re watching? I want to watch the news.” He changes the channel to footage of U.S. President Ronald Reagan at the 1986 nuclear arms control summit in Reykjavik, Iceland. The son, perturbed, turns to his father, replies “this is the news,” and lips the channel back. Megadeth’s song accelerates, and the video re- turns to riot footage. The song ends by repeatedly asking, “Peace sells, but who’s buying?” It was a prescient question during a 1980s in which Cold War militarism and the nuclear arms race escalated to dangerous new highs.1 In the 1980s, MTV elevated music videos to a new cultural prominence. Of course, most music videos were not political.2 Yet, as “Peace Sells” suggests, dur- ing the 1980s—the decade of Reagan’s “Star Wars” program, the Soviet war in Afghanistan, and a robust nuclear arms race—music videos had the potential to relect political concerns. MTV’s founders, however, were so culturally conserva- tive that many were initially wary of playing African American artists; addition- ally, record labels were hesitant to put their top artists onto this new, risky chan- 1 American President Ronald Reagan had increased peace-time deicit defense spending substantially.

  • The Oxford Dictionary of New Words: a Popular Guide to Words in the News
    The Oxford Dictionary of New Words: A popular guide to words in the news PREFACE Preface This is the first dictionary entirely devoted to new words and meanings to have been published by the Oxford University Press. It follows in the tradition of the Supplement to the Oxford English Dictionary in attempting to record the history of some recent additions to the language, but, unlike the Supplement, it is necessarily very selective in the words, phrases, and meanings whose stories it sets out to tell and it stands as an independent work, unrelated (except in the resources it draws upon) to the Oxford English Dictionary. The aim of the Oxford Dictionary of New Words is to provide an informative and readable guide to about two thousand high-profile words and phrases which have been in the news during the past decade; rather than simply defining these words (as dictionaries of new words have tended to do in the past), it also explains their derivation and the events which brought them to prominence, illustrated by examples of their use in journalism and fiction. In order to do this, it draws on the published and unpublished resources of the Oxford English Dictionary, the research that is routinely carried out in preparing new entries for that work, and the word-files and databases of the Oxford Dictionary Department. What is a new word? This, of course, is a question which can never be answered satisfactorily, any more than one can answer the question "How long is a piece of string?" It is a commonplace to point out that the language is a constantly changing resource, growing in some areas and shrinking in others from day to day.
