To tackle the housing affordability, first of all, it is crucial to lift the supply of housing as it will release the pressure on the housing price. Nevertheless, the supply of housing is inelastic as it requires an adequate fund, time, approval from the Government. Besides, the housing system is heavily dependent on the private sector. Thus, the Government should provide initiatives for housing providers to shift the supply of houses in the market. Australia would follow the policies from other countries to tackle the housing affordability. However, it has to fit in the Australian context. These policies might work well in other places but it does not mean that it will be applicable in Australia. The Singapore Government has a public

The latest health care reform has done what few policies manage to do – sicken both republicans and progressive democrats. While we can all agree that a reform of the health care system is sorely needed, we must also acknowledge that “Obamacare” is not the cure-all we so desperately require. Rather, President Obama, like a medieval barber, prescribed a health care reform that treated the symptoms of our flawed system rather than the actual disease. The subsidization of health insurance providers has proven ineffective at providing affordable coverage for all. Certainly one is likely to hear the various incendiary talking points of both the proponents and opponents. Whether it’s the republican candidates blaspheming Obamacare as socialism, or the administration praising the success of health care for all, it is difficult to actually find constructive dialogue. We are purview to many sound bites, but few actual solutions. We have witnessed heated debates, but rarely do we witness intelligent discourse. If beneficial reform is to be crafted and implemented, we must first acknowledge the issues and inconsistencies of the current system and begin to explore alternate methods of providing health care to the American people.

Bonnie Green, Chief Estimator, agreed that in a normal year only slight delays might develop due to a shortage of labor. However, she pointed out that for such a large project, the company would have to use unionized employees and that the construction industry labor agreements with New York City were to expire on October 30, 2004. Past experience and current construction activity in the surrounding area indicated that any union tradesman would support a strike against the city. Since this is a public project, she estimates that there is a 50% chance that they would strike this project to gain the attention of the national media.

Source 7 is an extract from Servini’s book ‘Henry VIII: The Reformation’ published in 1994 where the action of process of reforms was established to Protestant churches and many other institutions, bringing new practices in which displays Henry’s ideology and practicality that was also crucial to highlight Cromwell’s performance which is stated as “personal influence of the King”. This suggest that the King Henry strongly supported and valued Cromwell. This great respect from Henry came from his ability to carry out his responsibilities and duties in which Cardinal Wolsey had failed to achieve such as the divorce with Catherine of Aragon. Servini’s view shows his view is from the reference to the appeals such as 1533, Acts of Restraint in

I have witnessed traumatizing events, dying men, being shot, and I went behind enemy lines 11 separate times, all for my beloved country, yet I’m branded AWOL and equated to a coward! I served the Union Army valiantly and gave it my all for 4 entire years. My hard work and dedication were immense, I took on various jobs throughout the four years. Furthermore, I served as a nurse to aid all the wounded, I was a skilled courier and a spy. I love my country for giving me refuge when times were tough, thus, I was willing to give the ultimate sacrifice to preserve it. Countless times, I was nearly killed, but I did not care because I yearned for danger and a way to contribute during the war. I, Franklin Thompson, believe I should be reinstated

Germany, as a unified nation, doesn’t exist in 1860. There are 39 independent German states, one of the which is Mecklenburg. Mecklenburg is known for being the most backward of the 39 states. It has the highest percentage of emigrants of any of the German states as their landless peasants have little reason to hope for a better future. After living in such a poor state with limited freedom and few opportunities, many, such as Johann and Anna Friederike, nee Miko, Voss see emigration as a new chance at life. (Friederike goes by the nickname of “Rike.”)

Out of my planned 10 responses I actually only received 4 responses. From the 4 responses I was lucky enough to get two Bennies and two Johnnies.

Implementation of the MBDA’s salinity initiatives require heavy effort and planning, including multiple salt interception schemes. The natural approach to removal of salt is to let the Murray river flow into the ocean, so it is essential that the mouth of the river be kept open and outward flow continuously be monitored through electric conductivity units (ECU). There are 18 interception schemes operating as of now, they are large pumping systems that pull groundwater and drainage water from the environment diverting them into a salt basin away from the river. This process is effective as it prevents more than half a million tons of salt yearly from threatening the waterway and reduces the electric conductivity, which means the amount of

The article, “Reconciling conflicting data: the global warming ‘pause’”, is about a controversial study dealing with climate change. It is controversial because some feel that the data found was altered in order to get the results certain people wanted. What the scientists did was adjust their records of ocean temperatures for their dataset. The controversy has to deal with which data the scientist used for the temperatures. One dataset was from ships in the ocean that grab ocean water in their engine rooms and then take the temperature, the other is from buoys that float along in the water and take the temperature. The scientist said that the ships temperatures where generally warmer than the buoy temperatures which are generally more

chapters of the acquis, the decision to join the EU was put to referendum in Hungary. To reach this point, the Republic of Hungary first defined its desire to join the EU, and then took it upon itself to refine the country to EU standards. In doing so, Hungary modernized and strengthened its ties to the West, opening both its markets and culture to the outside world. The resulting Hungarian referendum in 2003 depicted an overwhelming majority vote for membership into the EU—slightly over 83% of voters supported membership. However, it is interesting and quite crucial to note that although the affirmative vote was in the majority, the actual turnout for the referendum amounted to less than 50% of the Hungarian electorate—46% to be more

Kids with touchscreen phones, parents with tablets, technology is the future. A lot of kids and even adults play video games. Almost everyone in the world has some sort of video game or some device that is used to play games on. It is what is new now, what everyone wants and sometimes needs. So no matter what, you will see people playing violent video games and you can’t stop it. How do violent video games not promote violent behavior? Violent video games do not promote violent behavior. Video games especially violent ones help vision and hand eye coordination, also crime rates in the U.S have gone down greatly since video games have gotten more and more popular, and the U.S government has not even seen any link in the behavior of people after playing violent games.

Last Sunday I spent the morning with some of our uniformed groups at the war memorial near St Peter’s, sharing with them the service of remembrance there and in our combined act of respect to those who lost their lives in the wars.

People oftentimes remember a life-changing moment or event, by vividly recalling the situation that unfolded. For me, that moment transpired the day I changed into a dark blue shirt, raised my right hand, recited an oath that appeared on a project screen, and uttered those four words, “So help me god.” My journey thereafter, which amounted to saying farewell to fellow colleagues, and a bus and train ride home, was interrupted by a wave of anxiety and trepidation; the apprehension and fear drained the vigor out of me. The adventure was punctuated by a tumultuous sea of thoughts: “What did I just get myself into? Am I ready for this? What can I do for residents that live in a food desert?” That fear, and angst, vacillated between my place of
