The consensus is that commodities and emerging markets will struggle, and 'animal spirits' won't recover for one or two years.

Taiwan elects first female president

http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/16/asia/taiwan-election/
Taipei (CNN)Taiwan has elected its first female president in a landmark election that could unsettle relations with Beijing.
Tsai Ing-wen, leader of the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), won the presidency with 56.1% of the vote, the official Central News Agency said, after eight years under the government of the pro-China Kuomintang (KMT) or Nationalist Party.
Eric Chu, the Nationalist Party candidate in Taiwan's presidential election conceded defeat late Saturday and congratulated rival Tsai Ing-wen on her victory, the agency added.
Her supporters filled streets, waving party banners and cheering to victory announcements made from a stage.
The election marked the first time the KMT has lost control of the island's legislature. The DPP took 68 of the 113 seats in Taiwan's parliament compared to the DPP's 35.
At a post-election news conference, Tsai underscored Taiwan's commitment to democracy, calling it a value "deeply engrained in the Taiwanese people."
"Our democratic way of life is forever the resolve of Taiwan's 23 million people," she said.
But later in her speech, she also acknowledged the tenuous relationship with Beijing, saying both sides "have a responsibility to do their utmost to find mutually acceptable ways to interact ... and ensure no provocation and no surprises."

And probably more importantly, this election resulted in the DPP, the pro-independence party, winning not only the presidential election, but also a clear majority in the legislative elections.

So it begins.
They started hitting on the trannies, realized that they got a benis and then started raging, shouting that they should be stoned.
Then they picked up some stones and started throwing them at the trannies.
Police managed to break up the situation.

Perhaps its a strategic move by merkel to purge trannies since germans don't want to be called evil racist sexist able bodied cis humans? Importing ultra traditional non-conformist "problematic", "peacefull" POC as her final solution to degeneracy... let's send her lovely mastiff puppies as thanks!

They should be stoned. Society needs to recognize that its a mental illness and treat it like a problem, because it is a problem. Society accepting mental illness's as something to celebrate and not treat is a disgrace to the human race. Fix them, not rejoice over them.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/life/only-7-per-cent-of-britons-consider-themselves-feminists/
>women were more likely to identify as feminist, nine per cent v. four per cent of men
>men were more supportive generally of equality between the sexes - 86 per cent compared to 74 per cent of women
>Younger women were more likely to call themselves feminist, with 19 per cent aged 18-24 using the word, but they were also most likely to oppose feminism
So men are more likely to support gender equality, while women are more likely to be feminists instead
More evidence that feminism is finally dying out. The number of people they can con into supporting their cult is dwindling, by this point I doubt many people who truly support gender equality are still gullible enough to be feminists. The movement is almost entirely made up of people who openly oppose equality now
Feminism in Britain has gotten some much deserved bad publicity recently in regards to equality. Pic-related, a british uni was going to observe International Men's Day this past November, and raise awareness of men's issues. The Uni had already focused on women's issues many times before
But, feminists threw a fit and made the uni cancel the day, because gender equality should focus solely on women's issues
Just a few hours before the Uni decided that male suicide is a non-issue that should never be discussed, a male student killed himself. Another victory for feminism!
Similar issue in Parliament with International Men's Day. A male MP suggested they have a talk about men's issues, since Parliament regularly talks about women's issues. A feminist MP objected and said nobody should discuss men's issues until women make up half of Parliament.
Fortunately feminists lost that round and Parliament actually did have a discussion on men's issues

Not really news but I think its an important perspective. These guys were uneducated people giving the finger to a society that they were jealous of. Its not helpful to infantilise them, or to say that they are inherently evil when their behaviour is not something unique to migrants.

What are we doing? This is like prostitution! Why are we paying for the sailors from the Iranians?! This is like asking them to do it again! This better not be how Donald Trump does it... Trump implies he's going to kick ass first, then steal their oil just for THINKING about stealing our sailors like this.

Threats don't work. If they really cared about insuring their employees, I do not think that they do but, they'd keep offering incentives for a healthier lifestyle. And yes this will show only long term results. It sounds like they got impatient or greedy and now might have to pay for not reading the fine print well enough.

Why isn't there a cat hunt?
Cats have a much bigger impact on the environment because of many reasons.
They are non native. They have a reproduction cycle faster than most reptiles, they have to eat more prey more often. A python eats a nutria and it won't eat for a month or more. Mammals eat every day. Cats also kill for fun, and recent studies show they are killing endangered species.
Note that I own a cat and love it and still think the ones in the wild are terrible pests.

Likely. I've paid for Netflix and a VPN for years now simply for the convenience of HD streaming. Definitely going back to piracy once the new systems are in effect. The meager amount of content available in my region (Norway) isn't worth the subscription fee.

They don't have much of a choice tbh. The content makers demand it for exactly the reasons in the OP.
