ROYALISTS DENOUNCE FRÉDERIC V




Besançon, Marquette of Pacific (Marquette Today) -- Several conservative royalists in the United Kingdom of Greater Marquette have denounced Prince Fréderic V, youngest son of King Fréderic IV, for coming out as gay after a lengthy trip to Paris, Arveyres.

Anton Bogdanić, a prominent judge for the Marquetien Noblesse Court system, has described Fréderic V as a disgrace to both Marquette and the House of Vedois.

"He is not characteristic of Marquette or her beliefs, and I would not be surprised or displeased to see him excommunicated from the [Marquetien Orthodox] Church in coming months," he said.

Several other prominent members of Marquetien society have made remarks similar to this, and liberals have been in an uproar worldwide. However, not all conservatives are as quick to judge the young prince.

"We should not be so quick to judge one of our own for his sexual orientation. People are basing their judgements on 2,000 years of potentially flawed translations. While I do believe that the Bible is God's inspired word, we must remember that it is impossible to think that we are reading the same Bible as was written thousands of years ago,Kristǐan Kalnins, an executive at Čaćwỳ, a Fuertaventuran bank, said.

King Fréderic IV has himself stood up for his son, saying, "Fréderic is my son, and I love him as such. While I do not approve of his lifestyle choice, I refuse to judge him, for that is not for us to do."

Fréderic V is currently staying in Besançon to be with his family, and both of his brothers have made statements similar to that of their father's.

It is unknown whether Fréderic V is in a relationship or not.

MISSING PAINTING FOUND IN HINZISTÖBEL



Freyholt, Marquette of Antarctic (Telhados Times) -- A painting was found in the apartment of a retired fishery worker in Hinzistöbel, a town about twenty bwopieds southwest of Freyholt, the capital of Marquette of Antarctic.

The painting was purchased by Honoré Martinik in 1972 in nearby St. Philipsburg at an auction for about 24ƒ ($45.6; 32.84€), and has remained in relatively good shape in his apartment ever since.

The painting, which is of an elderly gardener resting from toiling in the fields, was painted by Evžen Jandaček, a Marquetien defector to St. Philipsburg, in 1879. It is unknown how the painting disappeared from its home in a Philipsburgian art museum in 1968, or how it landed a place in an auction. Marquetien authorities are now debating whether or not to allow the man to keep the painting, which he bought within the law, or to donate it to the Safnóƒǔntãomanǔ (Royal Museum of Art).

TALOSIAN KING COMES OUT AS GAY


King Louis speaking to the Talos Eri Times.

Talos Eri, Talos == King Louis of Talos has officially come out as gay in an interview with the Talos Eri Times. Louis is the son of Queen Marina of Aloia, and the nephew of the famous gay Aloian king, Eric.

WITH LIGHTNING, COMES THUNDER
Following the past couple months, it has been made clear that president Soto is here to reshape the nation. One restoration after another, he is slowly bringing the people of Havenburgh out of their isolationist view on the world.
One of the biggest problems he faced was their armed forces stance. Before it was "why do we need a military?" To " whay dont we have a military!?" At first, his soldier bill that would create an armed forces was fought by the two parties the pacifist and freedom, but another two parties backed it, the conservative and the democratic social, which enabled it to barely pass. At first, they were concerned that they would have to make a draft, but then something astonishing happened: over ten million sighned up. Men amd women from around the country came rushing to defend their land. In record numbers, they deployed to multiple countries,like Texania, New Zealand, and Great Eurussia. Aircraft zipped through the skies, the wind flowing through theor hair. Warships rode the waves like mighty surfers. They got massive amounts of guns from the neighboring country of Ivania.

Almost overnight, they became a military superpower.And just like the nation, the people seemed to change too. Both the men and women grew moe responcable, as recreational drug use suffered a mass decline. Bevereage and technolagy sales went up as busines s popped up everywhere. Businesses like cafe's, bistro's, bars, pubs, diners, and bakeries. Job efficency skyrocketed, as more pay was given out to the proper employees.
But, all these things held a comback. Youth rebeliusness went up as well, with more cases of graphitii, egging, and tee-peing went up, plus the violence of minors.

To combat this counter strike, the police force rapidly multiplied, and introduced the riot police.
Even the culture changed. People took more risks, tourists were coming from the country instead of going to, and the music changed drasticly. Old bands that were popular like the script, onerepublic, matchbox 20 and coldplay were no longer mainstream, being replaced by a upbeat band like Maroon 5, Gym class heroes, Breaking Benjamen and Linkin park.

A whole nother genre even formed, called dubstep, with people like Martin Garrix and Skrillex leading the way. They even have a toned down version of it, called chillstep.

With all this happening so fast, its no wonder Havenburgh got nicknamed "the lightning nation." But if they are lightning, wheres the thunder? What is all this for? Will they invade, will they bid for power? The nation has a fantastic amount of momentum moving foward, for what ever Mr.Soto does next will most undoubtedly have support. President Giovanni Soto, or "Gio", has the highest popularity percent since the great Winstin Chamberlaighn, at 94%. ( Winstin had 96%, and the third, Martin Cris, had 89%)

https://2img.net/h/i185.photobucket.com/albums/x280/icebergslim1047/october%202008/october%2019/indiana-indianapolis.jpg

The message spelled out by havenburgh is "watch out, for here we come" But will Giovanni Soto and his Liberal Capitialist Party keep moveing forward at such a supersonic pace, or will the slow down and come back to earth? Only times will tell... Or the clap of thunder.

AFS agents after the raid

After approval by the European Parliament with an overwhelming majority, the Government may finally launch officially in the new National Plan for Industrial Innovation.
A new package of laws that create a new institutional framework, which aims to create a fast and efficient bureaucracy, as well as to form a favorable environment for entrepreneurship and that will push companies to invest in innovation. But not only, as there are a number of new policies, subsidies and massive government investment to support industrial innovation, especially in small and medium enterprises.
The package, very substantial, was presented to the domestic and foreign journalists in a press conference held at the lunch hour, where he was exposed point by point. To guarantee the usual European transparency, the new measures were published online in full, so that every citizen can read them and evaluate them.

But why do you need a strong government support for industrial innovation?
Innovation is one of the central determinants of competitiveness and growth of the countries. Even more so in this time of increasing globalization and integration of national economic systems. The innovative mechanism is, in turn, rapidly evolving and is quickly adapting to the new global environment while at the same time, it is one of the main factors of change. This mechanism microeconomic translates easily into its corresponding at the aggregate level where the growth of the company replacing the growth of the country. The effectiveness of the mechanism (for example in terms of productivity more ele-vated), the same investment in R&D, depends on, among other things, the availability and quality of human capital, by appropriate financial instruments (such as venture capital ) and a ratio between fertile and university research system, direct and indirect public support and the enterprise system.

The new provision allows to unlock billions of government investment, which will in turn enable greater industrial innovation, and therefore growth and development for the European industrial system.
The all accentuated by the new policies (in particular partnetariati between universities and enterprises, research centers, etc..) and a new institutional structure that creates a climate conducive to entrepreneurship.
In short, the new plan will allow a massive economic growth and a massive economic and technological development of the industry.

With regard to the competence of the Ministry of Economic Development, the national and local policies to boost innovation are developed through the activities of the Directorate General of Enterprises (DGE). The DGE is responsible for defining and promo-tion of the measures related to industrial competitiveness and innovation of enterprises.

The DGE is the main reference of European enterprises, plays a central role in the implementation of development policies and industrial innovation, monitoring the implementation of policies at the local level and their consistency with the measures taken at national level. The main operational lines of the DGE concern: the development of enterprises and the attractiveness of the territory; support innovation and applied research; the development of international competitiveness; ensuring the safety of industrial activities.

The Directorate General for Research and Innovation (DGRI) operates within the Ministry of Economic Development. Process the policy of the Government, in collaboration with other ministries, is the body responsible for the definition of the objectives and scientific priorities in accordance with the inter-ministerial commissions.

Participate in the development of policies to support research and industrial innovation and defines, in co-operation with the highest authorities of the Ministry of Education, the political organization of research activities at territorial level through specific agreements between the Regions.

The HCST was born as a result of the recent adoption of the plan on industrial innovation. It is a consultative body placed under the authority of the President of the Council of Ministers, whose task is to provide technical assistance to President himself and to the Government on matters of major policy research and technological innovation.

The HCST is composed of twenty personalities of high scientific level, appointed by the President of the Council of Ministers for 4 years. A Standing Committee (at the Ministry of Economic Development) prepare the work HCST.

The ICSTR is composed of representatives of relevant ministries in defining the national strategy for research and innovation (Environment, Industry, Transportation, Defense, Culture and Agriculture) and performs advisory work on policies, priorities and strategies of national research and innovation . It is chaired by the President of the Council of Ministers and is coordinated by the Ministry of Economic Development.

The IMRHE a collegial body composed of representatives of the Ministries of competence in research and innovation (Education, Economics, Finance and Industry, Environment, Defence, Transport, Culture, Agriculture). IMRHE task is to direct the research policy in France in accordance with the strategic guidelines defined by the President of Council of Ministries.

The IMRHE coordinates and develops the objectives set by the allocation of funds to research programs entered in the budget for research and development. The centrality of IMRHE within the system of governance comes from the weight that the body takes in setting priorities, strategies and programs of R&D and because of the financial management of the funds directed to research.

The Parliamentary Office for Evaluation of Scientific and Technological Choices is the advisory body in the field of scientific and technological research at the Parliamentary level. Its principal mission is to inform Parliament about the consequences of choices of science and technology and to provide any advice and clarification. Monitors the curriculum, making evaluations of activities carried out, process information and thematic reports.

With the new laws of creation of an ad hoc agency,the Agency for Industrial Innovation,through which the Government intend to promote specific "Mobilizers Program for Industrial Innovation" of inter-ministerial nature, aimed at supporting the industrial development of "precompetitive" and strengthen public engagement in research.
The Agency is placed under the control of the Ministry of Economic Development.

The Agency is a public industrial and commercial organization whose mission is to promote and support major projects of technological innovation.
The Agency funds projects with a high technological content and precompetitive nature, in which the public-private cooperative aspect is of paramount importance.

The National Agency for Research is a body of law in place under the administrative supervision of the Ministry of Economic Development, aims to promote the development of theoretical and applied research, support innovation and cooperation between the public and private sectors, contributing also to the transfer of public research results to the industrial world.
The Agency supports and develops the strategic guidelines for research policy adopted by the Government and must meet the attainment of its objectives set.

In the new architecture of the European research system is given a very important role in the evaluation process of the research in accordance with the requirements of independence, consistency and transparency.
The new laws provides that "all projects and programs funded with public funds should be systematically evaluated (ex-post) and the results of the assessment should be made public".

To do so is then created the Agency for the Evaluation of Research and Higher Education,a public authority with an independent character.
The Agency is responsible for the evaluation of research activities carried out by public bodies (including the university hospital centers) and to establish criteria for evaluating researchers.
Its main objective is to improve the mechanisms for the selection and approval of projects to finance (or public co-financing), through the monitoring and analysis of research. These mechanisms are based on a rigorous process of evaluation and monitoring (not just ex-ante, but also ex post) of the projects.

The Body is a public body of industrial and commercial character, place
under the tutelage of the Ministry of Economic Development. Its objective is to promote and support SMEs to the growth and development of industrial and technological development.
It consists of three distinct sectoral bodies: Innovation Sector (support for innovation and technology transfer); Funding Sector (investment financing, in partnership with leading banking financial intermediaries); Sector Guarantees (guarantee of bank loans).
It has a strong network of regional offices to provide assistance and support to all companies in the nation.

The Regional Delegation for Research and Technology (RDRT) are appointed by decree of the Ministry of Economic Development and refer to the Ministry itself.

The RDRT are in charge of the decentralized state in the areas of research, technology and innovation for the dissemination of scientific and technical culture.
Provide technical assistance at the regional level on the implementation of national action programs, tools to support the development and technology transfer.
Provide technical assistance on the use of mechanisms to support enterprises
as the tax credit for research, JEI, etc.

The RDIRE are regional agencies that provide support to SMEs for aid systems and the various measures of European funding. Concerning in particular the Structural Funds, the RDIRE are privileged partners who provide the service of education practices 'dossier' to get any funding and to participate in government policies.

The main objective of MPIIs (Mobilizers Programs for Industrial Innovation) is to support great programs for industrial innovation highly qualified through the intervention of public funds and including measures of co-financing by large companies, in compliance with the European legislation. This allows you to share the risk of investment in the production of a good or service to compose innovative and strong proponents to help companies reach a size such that they can compete at international level.

The programs are managed by the IIA (Industrial Innovation Agency) and by the Body for Assistance and Financing of Innovative Activities, which can thus support all economic sectors, including nuclear, space, defense and technology platforms.
The State finances from 50% up to 75% of expenditure on R&D in the form of grants and repayable advances. In turn, companies need to finance the remaining half of the costs of the program and provide the coordination of the execution phase.

The beneficiaries are the medium-sized and large enterprises in high-technology sectors in a public-private partnership that also involves universities and research centers. This partenariatopermette also share and exchange information and expertise between the public and private sectors.
The programs are designed to last from 5 to 10 years for an amount starting from € 20 million a year for the project. Their main goal is to promote the development of industrial innovation.

Poles of Competitiveness are one of the essential elements of the policy implemented by the European Government to revive the industry and the system of research and innovation. They favor the public-private partnerships and stimulate synergies between actors operating at local level in the context of industry, research and training on innovative projects in geographic considerations. These partnerships are designed around products or sectors with high technological and scientific content, also have the objective of increasing the dynamism and attractiveness of the European territories, in response to growing international competition and the phenomenon of relocation.

The Poles are a model of public-private cooperation, in which the channel
funding is used by the central government and local agencies to address the research activities. The governance of this system is entrusted to the private sector, namely manufacturers participating in the academic initiatives of the poles, sometimes in collaboration with local authorities.

Once initiated, through public notifications who evaluate them according to certain criteria (eg return to employment, land development and creation of new assets),the Poles receive substantial government funding. Of course the projects are kept under tight control by the government agencies, and companies involved cooperate with local authorities.

The presentation tool of the project is the book of commitment that is filed with the local authorities. In it, for it to be approved , must be expressed clearly :
• a strong anchoring of the project to the local economy; the Poles must therefore provide a development strategy focusing on efficiency and competitiveness at international level;
• consistency of the Pole and the strategy prepared when compared to the territorial development plan;
• the international visibility on the business plan and/or technological. The projects submitted must be able to place within a given time interval at the highest level on the world stage;
• a definition and a detailed structuring of the governance of the partnership. The quality and efficiency of the ties between the partners identified (industrialists,researchers,teachers) are the main criteria to receive the "mark";
• projects in degrees to promote synergies in research and development and contribute to the creation of added value. The ultimate goal is indeed to improve the competitiveness and the French offer on international markets.

The assignment of the new legal status of Young Innovative Enterprise allows to create a tax system more attractive to businesses that have less than eight years of life (defined as "young") and which are heavily involved in R&D. Regarding the conditions for obtaining this status, it is necessary that the capital belongs to individuals for a minimum of 75% and that the investment in R&D is not less than 15% of total costs. The device has two types of measures. The first, highly innovative,is exempting,for a period of eight years,from social security payments to the staff involved in R&D projects the second provides for exemption from local taxes,from the corporate tax,from surplus value and from other taxes.

The new laws also provides tax advantages in favor of all the companies that innovate, regardless of size,of years of the life of the enterprise and of business sector. It lays down measures aimed specifically at projects of young innovative enterprises. These consist of exempting from tax on all investments in R&D,in the reduction of depreciation rates of investments,and in extension of the Tax Credit for Research,to all companies who invest large sums in R&D.

The law provided for innovation finally the creation of Networks for Research and Technological Innovation (NRTI) with the aim of fostering collaboration between public and private research, jointly promoting the development of products and services in priority areas for business growth.

Each network is managed by an Orientation Committee, consisting of representatives of the industrial and public research, with the task of defining priority actions and to examine the proposed projects.

Its role is mainly directed to the emergence of collaborative projects on topics of priority interest. Calls for proposals and certified the best projects. The projects supported by the NRTI may be eligible for government funding covering up to 70% of total costs.

Specifically, the Ministry of Economic Development has created NRTIs for four themes: National Network for Research in Telecommunications; National Network of Research on Micro and Nano-Technologies; the National Network on Software Technology and the Network of Research and Innovation on Audiovisual and Multimedia.

The new laws introduced the PRHS (Poles of Research and Higher Education) and CRHE (Campus for Research and Higher Education), two instruments sharing of research between public and private organizations, territorial neighbors, with a view of improving the effectiveness and attractiveness of European higher education system.

In particular, they are structures composed of several research organizations and/or institutions of higher education, public or private (including university hospitals) in which the different actors share financial instruments, personnel, laboratories, etc.. for the execution of a common research project.
The research projects will receive strong government investments (amounting even to 80% of total costs), and have strong tax exemptions.

The main objectives of these tools are strengthening partnerships with academic and research and development of research and higher education at the service of the Poles of Competitiveness.

The TNAR are structures created through the new laws with the status of scientific foundations. Together several research institutes and higher education, public or private, and possibly even companies involved in one or more areas of research. Are intended to increase the critical mass and synergies between research units belonging to universities and research organizations with different but similar scientific objectives. Finally, links to increase the European visibility on the international scene.

The Advanced Technology Program is co-financing long-term projects of research and development conducted by individual companies or joint ventures led by cutting-edge companies. In particular, the grants are awarded to projects that carry a higher risk factor and in which the companies themselves, singularly and without proper bank, would be reluctant to invest.

The Advanced Technology Program aims in particular to bridge the gap between research and market through partnerships with the private sector, investment in the initial phase made ​​possible through the Program to accelerate the development of technologies that promise high payoff commercial, not only in terms toutcourt of returns on investment, but also in a wider fallout nationwide.

Aware of the risk and the effort required to produce financial commitments of some significance in the field of research and development are in reality far beyond the means available to many small businesses, the Government seeks to assist that firm size investment in R&D.

Through the provision of a specific percentage of federal funds for research and development in small businesses, the program dedicated to innovation for Small Business helps small firms, allowing them to get to deal with larger firms even in areas with respect to such as small size often tends to be exclusionary.

The SBIR program funds the critical moments of the start-up and development and encourages the commercialization of a technology, a product or a service.

The primary purpose of the STTR program is the expansion of partnerships between public and private sectors to include, in programs for research and development projects funded with federal resources, joint ventures taking place between small businesses and major national research institutes. The STTR program reserves to such joint ventures in fact a specific percentage of public funding.

Dogs, cockatoos, and Yellasian activists challenge 'Yellocentrism'


All across Greater Yellasia, animal rights are being greatly expanded. Ever since the Yellasian Revolution in 1832, dogs and cockatoos have been given a status equivalent to 'citizenship', and ever since, dogs have been the ceremonial leaders of Yellasia. Now dogs, cockatoos, and humans alike are challenging social norms that have allowed for inequality among dogs and cockatoos.

Activists argue that yellow Labrador retrievers and sulphur-crested cockatoos hold a privileged position in society. A hereditary role, most Kings and Queens of Yellasia have been yellow Labradors (King Jack, hailing from Huskdor, is half-yellow Lab and half-husky). Carl Cockatoo, a sulphur-crested cockatoo the founding bird of Yellasia, is eternally famous among the Yellasian people, a fact activists argue create more opportunities for sulphur-crested cockatoos than for other species of cockatoos.

To illustrate his point, Brutus, a black Labrador, uses Yellgle image search and types in 'dog'. Among the photos are an over-representation of yellow and golden furred dogs and not a single black dog to be found until scrolling down.

When asked for why this must be, Brutus says, "woof woof".

To combat this, Greater Yellasian Prime Minister Adriana Limel gave a speech encouraging equal oppurtunities for all dogs, cockatoos, and for a better animal rights record in general. Under her leadership, more animal shelters have been built, adoption centres have increased in quantity, and nearly all forms of recreational hunting have been banned.

A major debate regarding Yellasian symbols and sayings has taken place. Some have even argued for the changing of the Yellasian flag. In response, Yellasian traditionalists have stated that the colours are not meant to represent yellow labs and sulphur-crested cockatoos specifically, and that the name 'Yellasia' has more meaning than its root word implies. As such, they have advocated a broader, official definition of the word 'yellow', already used by many egalitarian minded Yellasians. The word's definition has been altered to apply to all dogs equally, and activists continue to improve rights for all life, not just humans, cockatoos, and dogs.

SOUTHERN CITIES BOOMING AS A RESULT OF KANSAS CANAL


Cheyenne, Logan, Rawlins, Sherman, Thomas and Wallace counties have all experienced much growth since the opening of the Kansas Canal.

SAINT FRANCIS, Kansas == Many cities in the southern two rows of counties in Kansas have experienced a boom in population and industry as a result of the Kansas Canal, which stretches from Sunflower Bay to the Osage Sea. Saint Francis is one prime example of the boom. Saint Francis is the seat of Cheyenne County, located on Wano Bay with the Kansas Canal passing only a few miles to the north of the city. Saint Francis has tripled in size since the opening of the canal and has become the western terminus of the canal.

"We're very thankful to Eurussia for sponsoring this venture. It's sure to benefit southern Kansas for many years to come," Governor Sebelius said about the canal. Historically, southern Kansas was known mainly for the wildness of the towns and the legacy of cowboys who brought cattle from places in Articmainia to cities in northern Kansas where they were slaughtered and shipped abroad. The canal has brought prosperity to the region and the area is working hard to change its reputation.

the problem with wuhei as an independent nation under the Dromodian flag is that it has a fanatical religious group of people who don't like change.
they are descendants from the older wuheian empire who ruled those lands before the unification with the motherland.

the Dromodian government will ban all religion in wuhei for 2 months. and they will get it back if there is an betterment in their behavior.

but if this will happen again, the Dromodian government will deport everyone who acts suspicious to the far end of the people's republic to work in the collective farms near Dollonghai.
