This is Naked Paisley Pete.

He is currently on parole and would like your digits.

 

He's from a monstrous-looking, furred race. They have enormous eyes. They are omnivores. They are famous for producing negotiators. They have only one child at a time making Naked Paisley Pete a rare breed indeed. Their government is a technocracy that is entirely dysfunctional. They were once a dead people - what brought them back to life is a matter of speculation. Their world of origin is icy and is known for being an excellent place to observe astronomical phenomena.

 

He is approximately 5" tall and made of light tan fleshy felt with chocolate brown paisley accents. Naked Paisley Pete kicks a super duty chocolate felt back.

 

He is stuffed full with Poly-fil. Which makes him very huggable.

Naked Paisley Pete is a combination of hand sewn and machine sewn stitches. And he comes shipped to you in a sealed UltraPunch package.This is Naked Paisley Pete.

The difference between algorithms and newspapers is that newspapers are legally responsible for what they print and citizens generally understand their editorial positions.

 

Algorithms, however, give the impression of being neutral and can't be held to account - even though the YouTube algorithm alone shapes what 1.5 billion users are likely to see, which is more than every newspaper in the world combined. --Jamie Bartlett

the author and broadcaster of 'The Americans" on toronto radio station CFRB on june 5th, 1973, the text of which follows.

 

The United States dollar took another pounding on German, French and British exchanges this morning, hitting the lowest point ever known in West Germany. It has declined there by 41% since 1971 and this Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous and possibly the least-appreciated people in all the world.

 

As long as sixty years ago, when I first started to read newspapers, I read of floods on the Yellow River and the Yangtze. Well, Who rushed in with men and money to help? The Americans did, that's who.

 

They have helped control floods on the Nile, the Amazon, the Ganges and the Niger. Today, the rich bottom land of the Mississippi is under water and no foreign land has sent a dollar to help. Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy, were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of those countries is today paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States.

 

When the franc was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris. And I was there. I saw that.

 

When distant cities are hit by earthquake, it is the United States that hurries into help... Managua Nicaragua is one of the most recent examples. So far this spring, 59 American communities have been flattened by tornadoes. Nobody has helped.

 

The Marshall Plan... the Truman Policy... all pumped billions upon billions of dollars into discouraged countries. And now, newspapers in those countries are writing about the decadent war-mongering Americans.

 

Now, I'd like to see just one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplanes.

 

Come on... let's hear it! Does any other country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tristar or the Douglas 10? If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all international lines except Russia fly American planes? Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or a woman on the moon?

 

You talk about Japanese technocracy and you get radios. You talk about German technocracy and you get automobiles. You talk about American technocracy and you find men on the moon, not once, but several times ... and safely home again. You talk about scandals and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everybody to look at. Even the draft dodgers are not pursued and hounded. They are right here on our streets in Toronto, most of them... unless they are breaking Canadian laws... are getting American dollars from Ma and Pa at home to spend here.

 

When the Americans get out of this bind... as they will... who could blame them if they said 'the hell with the rest of the world'. Let someone else buy the bonds, let someone else build or repair foreign dams or design foreign buildings that won't shake apart in earthquakes.

 

When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both of them are still broke. I can name to you 5,000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble.

 

Can you name to me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake.

 

Our neighbours have faced it alone and I am one Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them kicked around. They will come out of this thing with their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their noses at the lands that are gloating over their present troubles.

 

I hope Canada is not one of these. But there are many smug, self-righteous Canadians. And finally, the American Red Cross was told at its 48th Annual meeting in New Orleans this morning that it was broke.

 

This year's disasters... with the year less than half-over... has taken it all and nobody... but nobody... has helped.

This is Harold.

He enjoys walks in the park and granny smith apples.

 

He's from a monstrous-looking, furred race. They have enormous eyes. They move by dragging themselves along the ground. They are omnivores. They are famous for producing negotiators. They have only one child at a time making Harold a rare breed indeed. Their government is a technocracy that is entirely dysfunctional. They were once a dead people - what brought them back to life is a matter of speculation. Their world of origin is icy and is known for being an excellent place to observe astronomical phenomena.

 

He is approximately 5" tall and made of lime felt with blue felt accents. Harold sports a super duty light gray wool back.

 

He is stuffed full with Poly-fil. Which makes him very huggable.

“Let’s redesign Europe” – This was the theme of Dany Cohn-Bendit’s ‘fresh start’. A fresh start because 2014 will mark the end of an era in which as a MEP, Dany Cohn-Bendit embodied the European dream through his speeches, writings and actions both within and outside the EU institutions.

 

This may well mark the end of a period, but not the end of the dream. Our discussions on the future of the EU and its institutions won't stop here... Furthermore, the last few years have provided ample material for critical examination: economic crisis, financial storm, Eurozone governance, crawling renationalisation of EU, confidence crisis of Europeans, lack of democratic legitimacy, etc.

 

The European project, as a postwar peace and reconciliation project, is no longer able to inspire citizens. "Technocracy", "distant", "a Europe made by elites for elites". The divorce is evident. This crisis is therefore a huge challenging for the European Union and means it must reinvent the European project and redefine its hopes and ambitions.

These are actually manned craft, as the Technocracy rarely used fully automated units. The men are seated just behind the front, with angled armour plating protecting them and sophisticated electronics. They are armed with a powerful armour-piercing cannon and have a small jumpjet in their rear segment. Their main weakness is their spindly legs.

Modern algal biotechnology is largely motivated by technocracy in response to food and energy crises. This biotechnological work seeks the utilization of microalgae not for technocratic ends but for a reconstruction of social practice at an ‘ecosophical’ intersection, as advocated by Félix Guattari (1989/2000) by weaving the three domains of the natural environment (photosynthesis of microalgae), social relations (digital printing), and mind (creative process of making).

Think Tanks in America

by Thomas Medvetz

 

University of Chicago Press

344 pages | 1 map, 12 line drawings, 7 tables | 6 x 9 | © 2012

 

Over the past half-century, think tanks have become fixtures of American politics, supplying advice to presidents and policymakers, expert testimony on Capitol Hill, and convenient facts and figures to journalists and media specialists. But what are think tanks? Who funds them? And just how influential have they become?

 

In Think Tanks in America, Thomas Medvetz argues that the curious ambiguity of the think tank is less an accidental feature of its existence than the very key to its impact. By combining elements of more established sources of public knowledge—universities, government agencies, businesses, and the media—think tanks exert a tremendous amount of influence on the way citizens and lawmakers perceive the world, unbound by the more clearly defined roles of those other institutions. In the process, they transform the government of this country, the press, and the political role of intellectuals. Timely, succinct, and instructive, this provocative book will force us to rethink our understanding of the drivers of political debate in the United States.

Furthermore, the last few years have provided ample material for critical examination: economic crisis, financial storm, Eurozone governance, crawling renationalisation of EU, confidence crisis of Europeans, lack of democratic legitimacy, etc.

 

The European project, as a postwar peace and reconciliation project, is no longer able to inspire citizens. "Technocracy", "distant", "a Europe made by elites for elites". The divorce is evident. This crisis is therefore a huge challenging for the European Union and means it must reinvent the European project and redefine its hopes and ambitions.
