Probably not, but even Global Witness, who make HBIC look like Maggie Thatcher's ultra right wing brother, admit that the regs haven't helped. http://www.mining.com/illegal-gold-trade-in-congo-still-benefiting-armed-groups-foreign-companies/ As a company we have proposed to take the gold produced by Artisanal Miners and sell it though legitimate sources rather than it going via the armed militia but too many people in power make too much money out of it. We would reimburse the Artisanal miners far better than the warlords do. Currently the artisanal gold generally goes to Dubai via Kigali on normal scheduled airlines, where it is easy to sell gold at cut prices. The artisanal miners get between $180 and $300 an ounce. It's robbery. It is not difficult to see it, they don't try to hide it, I often see flight cases which take 4 to 6 people to lift being loaded on to planes bound for Dubai at Kigali.
I'm sure if you followed the money, then you'd find out why these regulations really exist. The idea's right, but it's clearly not working. Why? My guess is that it's working for some people...
Turns out that Farage is so committed to leaving that he walked out on his wife and shacked up with his former assistant.
I wouldn't really care, if it wasn't for all of the other parts of the story: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/who-laure-ferrari-french-woman-living-nigel-farage-1605007 I made a suggestion before about the Russians having dirt on him, as they allegedly do on Trump. Can't think of what it could be...
The ivory ban works for some Elephants, but not all. Laws generally need to reviewed when they are not working as intended.
After claims that Kellyanne Conway "misspoke" when inventing the Bowling Green Massacre, it took about five minutes to unearth she managed to "misspeak" several times on the exact same subject in the space of a few days, "misspeaking" so badly that she added a lot more detail to her "slip of the tongue" as she was doing so: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...onway-fake-bowling-green-massacre-three-times
I think they should change the name of Trump's political party to "The Bullcrap Party".You never know what bullcrap will come out of their mouths next!
Ask and you shall receive: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/ent...uk_58997467e4b076856216f46a?sbrwyusur56cd6lxr The obvious issue with this list is it is not clear what their definition of "under-reported" actually is. For example... In print media * How many articles need to be posted by a single publication for it to be considered sufficiently reported? * How many publications need to report the story for it to be considered sufficiently reported? * What is the minimum number of words in an article for it to be considered sufficiently reported? In visual media * How many items should a single news channel broadcast for it to be considered sufficiently reported? * How many broadcasters need to cover the story for it to be considered sufficiently reported? * How long should the item on the story be for it to be considered sufficiently reported? For both * Does it even matter if the attack happened in the real world, as opposed to Kellyanne Conway's imagination, for it to be considered worth reporting?
Trump didn't say under-reported, though. He said that they weren't reporting them at all. Spicer tried to spin it to under-reported and couldn't even pull that off. Total bullshit. Trump's getting his news from conspiracy theorists. He thinks Infowars is real, the prick.
A site run by someone who believes both 9/11 and the Oklahoma bombing are inside jobs by the US government is a wealth of knowledge...for someone training to be a clinical psychologist.
He's also a fan of the RegressiveLeft hashtag. Because posting misleading or downright false news, articles designed to bait the left and regular use of insults like "snowflake" is the pinnacle of progressive, isn't it?
I can't believe this sort of thing can happen. For me common sense right out the window. Interested to know what peoples thoughts are on this, especially as there is generally good discussion here so that i can get a different point of view. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-surrey-38891663 Now i'm all for long marriages when kids are involved and there is a strong view that the wife has had to lose out on her career (if said wife is not working). According to the BBC she kept basically most of the cash and now the judge has increased her payments 15 years later. I haven't looked into it but also how does the law work when you have to pay maintenance fees but you can't afford them (i'm getting married soon haha, it would be good to know!)
Assuming the settlement given her 15 years ago represented half their assets she got a fair share. If she squandered it - tough luck. Different while there ar ekids who are not adult. They are both adults and should be independently responsible. I accept it may be more complicated if you know the details but just as an"off the cuff" - that is what I think
As S61 says, it's hard to tell without more details but it does seem a bit off. He paid her a lump sum, then paid what looks like alimony and child support for years and it's now gone up. They've been divorced longer than they were married and their child is an adult, so I don't get why he's paying anything now. Congratulations on your impending marriage, Bobby. Pre-nup's are very dodgy over here, just so you know!
Doesn't British law state that when a man and a woman are divorced, the man has to keep the woman in the lifestyle that she would like to become accustomed to? When a man gets married he needs to realise that his wife is likely to become a very good house-keeper, if they get divorced, she will be keeping the house.
Thank Christ that the British Parliament have agreed to Deal or No Deal. Many posters on here scoffed at the idea of this saying parliament must have the final say on terms and would be able to veto any deal. That would like going into a poker game withh all ones cards facing upward.
Daylin Leach is a Pennsylvania State Senator. Apparently he's not pleased with Trump suggesting that he'd ruin a judge's career.
