When your sense of pleasure and satisfaction are derived from comparing yourself to others, you are no longer the master of your own happiness.
Loud and obnoxious people with high energy who repeat themselves and constantly use superlatives may be showing lower intelligence levels and most decent folks are beginning to realize this.
Just in time for Halloween, this Thursday, a new US House Speaker should be sworn into office to proclaim: Trick or Treat.
The entire nation should watch to see what happens with our Government inaction, while it gives the whole world a front-row seat in the U.S. House of Representatives chambers.
The Clerk’s House Live service also allows everyone to watch streaming live and archived video feeds of House floor proceedings dating back to 2009.: http://houselive.gov/
What can the new speaker learn from the ghosts of speakers past?
Following years of population control, PR China looks to implement an expansive policy that will allow parents to have more than one child.
China is the most populous country today but it has managed to control the population growth by the virtue of the one child policy. China was a ticking time bomb back in the sixties and seventies. After China became relatively stable in the post World War II era, when a hundred years of civil wars, unrests and epidemics had become a thing of the past, there was a boom in its population. It wasn’t much different from how the populations boomed in Europe and Americas but the troubling reality was that China had a huge population to begin with.

Faced with the complicated domestic and international situation, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council lead the people of all nationalities of China to thoroughly implement the spirit of the 18th Party Congress, uphold the general tone of “moving forward while maintaining stability”, adhere to the guideline of “the macro policy should be stable, micro policy be flexible and social policy support the bottom line” while maintaining steady growth, adjusting economic structure and forging ahead with reform, and actively make explorations and innovations of macro-control means, as a result, the national economic and social development realized stabilized and accelerated development and achieved a good start.

Polls can be inaccurate and all include a margin of error. We must also keep in mind that polling organizations that track elections do not always identify the wave that leads to strong majorities in voter turnouts.
What is the future for election polling? There isn’t a clear answer that includes a sure fire solution. The present system is broken and no one has yet figured out how to fix it. Political polling has progressively gotten less accurate as a result, and it’s not going to be repaired in time for the 2016 VOTE.
