Pension Pyramid

Pension Pyramid

Many decades ago, at the dawn of its existence, the pension system had one single goal – to reduce poverty. But even in the XXI century in many countries pension provides less and less "dignified old age." The situation is typical for Ukraine and for Europe. That's why it's time to talk about the current problems of pension systems of the Old World. Today, pension systems have ceased to work properly from the point of reducing the number of poor people. They turned into a structure that allows you to distribute income throughout the life cycle of the income received for work, move on in life after the end of the activity itself. At the same time the number of employees decreased and the number of retirees grows. Need more contributions from the working population, which causes dissatisfaction and a shift to obtain shadow income.

Thus, the traditional solidarity pension system is already unable to cope with its mandated functions. As it turned out, these same systems can not operate in a highly life expectancy and low fertility, because they were designed when there was a reverse situation. In other words, many workers previously shared manufactured product with a few retirees, but in our time vice versa. In general, the traditional pension system can be likened to a pyramid scheme, which produces nothing, but generates high profits. Older participants will receive payments from contributions by new members. While number of new members who join the scheme exceeds the number of old, the scheme can provide higher profits for the older members, and all is going well.

Voronezh Medical Institutions

Voronezh Medical Institutions

Recently, staff learned of the project road traffic experience in other cities and, in particular, in St. Petersburg, where the number of cars has tripled, and deaths resulting from traffic accidents has decreased in two times. Yes and no traffic jams – which is not true of Voronezh, where, according to Semenov, "not even a simple transportation scheme …" By the way, on the eve of United Russia deputies visited the Hematology Department of the Regional Clinical hospital. At a meeting with medical staff it, in particular, went on road infrastructure unsettled at the entrance to the Voronezh Medical Institutions. Where – is utterly broken road, somewhere in a narrow passage for parked cars, but somewhere in the rapid avtodvizhenii no traffic lights, because of what human life is endangered. Needless to say, that such road conditions make it difficult to move "Ambulance" and reanimobiles – and this is when every minute counts …

It was decided that all such applications of medical institutions will be collected, arranged and addressed in the draft party. Alexander Ponomarev, who oversees the project "National control ", told his colleagues, as with the participation of NGOs and can reduce molodgvardeytsev prices for essential goods. Often during the stock (the "Golden buckwheat", "Golden Eggs") holders shops, as they say, on the spot, changed the numbers on the price tags, of course, downward. According to Alexander Ponomarev, the most active fighters against unreasonably inflated prices were awarded diplomas. Voronezh Association of Entrepreneurs "SUPPORT" also promises to encourage activists – New Year's gifts. Alexander Rygalov, head of the Voronezh "Young Guard", said that for three years the number offices in the region has increased from 7 to 27, the series is constantly growing (today in assets – about 500 people). Implement the Young 15 social projects, and believe that both quantitatively and qualitatively they are ripe to become sozakazchikami youth policy in the region.

Three in one of the regional parliament speaker Volodymyr Klyuchnikov informed colleagues about the most pressing issues of the Duma's agenda. Separately, the deputies stopped on amendments to the law on regional transportation tax. The essence of the changes if necessary before the tax was paid before the 10th, but now – until November 1. As explained by the head of the Voronezh Department of the Federal Tax Service Sergei Dukanov, who attended the meeting of the faction, change – in the interests of and for the benefit of Voronezh. People to each tax is not paid for separately, but (to save time and nerves), once two or three, on the property land and transport (of course, if a person is all there in the property). Deputy Sergei Pochivalov raised the issue that worries many Voronezh: when it comes to the notice of the need to pay tax for cars, which have been and there is no trace. Attempts to remove these "ghost car" with regard to nothing lead. Sergei Dukanov explained that in calculating the tax fiscal service takes as its basis the traffic police database, which is "extremely imperfect. " In the Voronezh region of about 3% of car owners – hostages of the status quo, ie, it comes to tax for the "missing" transport. But when the facts are revealed, said the chief tax collector area fiscal service returns paid money – even with interest (at the rate of refinancing). United Russia deputies decided to listen to in the near future on this issue information Representatives of traffic police.

Soviet Union University

Soviet Union University

So not many times in history. Proceedings of the scientist known only specialists and undeservedly forgotten by posterity, suddenly attracted by the scientific community for its depth and relevance. Expert in the field of theory international and state law, the historian of philosophy and literature, publisher and journalist Alexander S. Yashchenko was born in Stavropol in 1877. After graduating from high school enrolled in the Stavropol Mathematics Moscow University, but soon decided to continue their studies at the Faculty of Law. He graduated in 1900. From 1909 to 1913 A. was a professor of Tartu Yashchenko, and then the University of Perm.

In March 1919, in the Soviet delegation arrived in Germany to discuss additional ones to the Brest peace, and refused to return to the RSFSR. Since 1924, he served as professor and later head of the department of international law Kaunas University in Lithuania. In the early 1930s he settled in Berlin, where he successfully engaged in publishing activities. Why Yashchenko were devoted to reading, which took place in Stavropol Institute of Friendship of Peoples Caucasus? Modern scientists, ethnologists recognize – even two decades ago, it seemed that nationalism as a factor in the development of global political, economic and cultural processes in the category of objects becomes purely academic research. Everything changed almost overnight. The resulting wave of nationalism shattered the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia … But none of these fragments of the former federal states, despite internal multinational, has not chosen a federal form of government – except for Russia.

Military Budget

Military Budget

The U.S. military budget for 2009. Guide Pentagon sent to Congress proposals for a military budget for fiscal year 2009. The Ministry of Defence plans to obtain allocation of $ 491 billion, with a significant part – about 183 billion dollars will be spent on improving the existing armed forces. The proposed U.S. military option would be to increase funding by 35.9 billion U.S.

in absolute terms, or 4% of GDP. Robert Gates, commenting on the budget plan, said that the additional appropriations are badly needed a whole range of areas, namely: – to continue the fight against international terrorism – providing a comprehensive U.S. national security – preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. In addition to purely declarative statements, Gates and listed the specific tasks standing in front of his office. In particular: – increasing the military strength of existing Sun On this is planned to allocate 15.5 billion for the Army and to increase the number of operating divisions from 40 to 42 (on Pentagon plans, there should be 48). In addition, five billion dollars will be sent to the Marines. It is assumed that this would be another step in the formation of trehkorpusnoy MP, allowing for effective rotation personnel operating beyond national borders the United States.

The military department comes from the fact that the number of Marine Corps should be increased to 202 thousand people by 2011 fiscal year – $ 70 billion the Pentagon wants to get on peacekeeping operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. This question – a sore point for the War Department and to Congress, however, Gates expressed confidence that the essential problems of the U.S. If you are unsure how to proceed, check out Amazon. DoD will find understanding from it is the creation of combat and transport aircraft, missile weapons, and command and control systems, providing a significant increase in the efficiency of combat units – special attention to budget given to the health and welfare of troops – for these items are planned expenditures of $ 10 billion. Overall, the projected defense budget for 2009 consistent with the general policy of the United States. Statements by Pentagon officials that the next increase in appropriations is nothing but an attempt to match the existing threats to national security, do not hold water. On the one hand, is, of course, the solution of purely economic goals. The development of national military-industrial complex can, at least temporarily, to contain the processes of stagnation due to placement of defense orders. On the other hand, the U.S. will never forget that argument of a military nature can provide substantial support for diplomacy in dealing with international issues.

Patriotic Education

Despite the crisis, the republic's authorities take a proactive stance in matters of culture. Continue implemented programs such as "Ethno-cultural development and prevention of extremism", "Development and strengthening of ties with compatriots abroad," "Patriotic Education of the Republic of Adygea residents' and others, including federal. At present, serious attention is given museum business. Russian government commission to verify the preservation of museum collections, who worked in the past year across the country, now finds permanent status. However, the acute shortage of professional restorers question (in Adygea operates a restorer of metal) and the complete lack of storage facilities. According to experts, the holding of shares by revival of museums as sites of historical and cultural values, will be one of the most important factor in enhancing the attractiveness of the region's image. – About the culture and art can not be said in the short term, – says Minister of Culture of the Republic of Adygea Gazy Chemso. – This is a lengthy process.

But when it comes to big, disproportionate to the potential of culture Adygeya republic and a small population. Yes, our current advances in this field were laid in previous years, but the big impetus to the development at the time was to raise the status of the region: now you can without looking back, to make decisions within the framework of federal law. Stimulus develop their culture have all nationalities: in fact, before Adygea became a republic, we have not released the book in Russian, Russian-speaking writers can be counted on the fingers.

Minsk Group

Minsk Group

And hopefully, not even knowing what sought during his visit to Baku, its chief of staff Sergei Naryshkin that the Russian leader himself far more concerned about its international reputation and is interested in its permanence, than to be an unreliable partner president of Azerbaijan. In addition to all the above, and are symptomatic of recent appointments in the diplomatic corps United States, one way or another connected with the region and the Artsakh question. Following Kaydanau T. and Robert Bradtke (new American co-chair of OSCE Minsk Group), formerly worked, respectively, after the Kosovo and Croatia, to the post of deputy. head of the OSCE mission in Baku, was appointed American Melissa Stone, formerly an employee of the OSCE Mission in Kosovo the same. It is clear that such appointments are perceived in Azerbaijan for more than nervous, because in Baku see the "ominous signs" of the "Kosovo precedent" in regarding the final status of Nagorno Karabakh.

At the same time in Baku by the mouth of various political scientists, experts, diplomats, do not get tired to say that the alleged issue of "return of 7 regions" (other "editorial" – five) have supposedly been resolved. Not Recently, Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov, even large blundered by issuing an international conference in Baku "confidential information" about that, they say, "the Armenian forces already retreating, and even shows the direction of their movement. " The lie was so clumsy and nesusvetnoy that even Baku media a couple of hours "forgot about the sensation." Plus, Turkey is in time trouble. She, on the one hand, pushing for the ratification of the Turkish-Armenian protocols and opening of borders in this year. On the other – Azerbaijan, more and more loudly expressed distrust of the obvious signs of "big brother". And although everyone knows that Ankara and Baku are just playing for Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as international public elementary "theater of the two actors" are actually continuing to act in an interconnected and coordinated, yet noticeable that in recent Yerevan and Stepanakert also tightened its rhetoric and its conditions.

Administration Tax

Administration Tax

In one form or another was reflected a desire to Baku in the documents of OSCE, UN, OIC, CIS and CE. At best the enemy could be satisfied with the inaccuracy of the desired language, or transferring to the later time the date of the discussion document required by Azerbaijan, as happened with UN draft resolution "On the situation in the occupied territories." The last joy of the Armenians in 2009 was a new UN resolution affirming the right of peoples to self-determination – a document that absolutely nothing in the the existing balance of conflicting principles. Finally, Baku not allowed to connect to the Azerbaijani-Armenian talks Administration Tax, so as not to give it legal status, which requires a team Bako Sahakyan. Azerbaijan successfully balanced between NATO and the CIS, Russia and the West. The last strokes of this balance can be considered as the November statement Milli Mejlis Gudrat Hasanguliyev, who proposed to consider Azerbaijan's joining the CSTO, as our expectations from the West, in support of the Karabakh issue policies Baku did not materialize. Head of Foreign Relations of the Presidential Administration Mammadov believes that Europe does not support Azerbaijan's efforts to return control of the territories. Hasanguliyev – a former functionary of the opposition Popular Front Party, is now actively energetically promoting the power of President Ilham Aliyev. His words were perceived as politically Baku sounding not so much of public opinion in Azerbaijan, which the authorities are not interested in what position West and Russia, the possibility of such a union.

A United Russia

A United Russia

Recently in our local newspaper published an article under the buoyant title: "Working for the benefit of residents of the area" – a report on the works of the local branch of "United Russia". Continue to learn more with: Sen. Sherrod Brown. In it, in particular, stamped the following: "We believe that the destruction of raypotrebkooperatsii, Don molzavoda, zagotkontory, the closure of many construction companies, "Sel'khoztekhniki" – all this is a list of errors former district administration admitted to objective and subjective reasons. "One of these subjective reasons," because the Communists were in power. " It's amazing. Almost twenty years since the communists have no power, but they are still responsible for everything.

And not just in our local newspaper, but also throughout the country. Flog a dead nag already. Compare: the civil war ended in 22 th year, and after ten years of Soviet power has already begun to build the Dnieper, Magnitogorsk and Komsomolsk-on-Amur, and thousands more buildings. That built for 15 years after the 93rd of the year? Some have built so far can not destroy. Temple of the Savior to the industrial giants are not ranked. The author thinks that he is cunning, using the usual method of dumping on its head. This tricks for fools, very characteristic of the current government.

Like 25 – shot on television. Behind the scenes, and the brain works. However, the weak minds only. People have not forgotten about the attacks on the socialist economy, which inflicted came to power, "the liberal Democrats." How, smashing state and collective farms, they destroyed the village industrial base, the entire infrastructure serving the large collective farms.

Conservative Party

Conservative Party

Their urgent request is to begin consultations that would solve the issue of holding elections in a country under UN auspices. Because, as all leaders are confident the opposition parties, otherwise the next fraud can not be avoided, as "can not be avoided at this time and the consequences in the form of an unprecedented manifestation of the strength of popular anger." This opinion was shared by the opposition, has recently expressed by the head of the Conservative Party, Kakha Kukava. He also said that in the case of ignoring the will of the voters of the next people are not only entitled but obliged to shift the power by violent means. In the words of Chairman of the Public Movement "Defend Georgia!" Levan Gachechiladze, who sternly warned the government in the spring of the opposition will certainly trigger a wave of protests high. For assistance, try visiting Richard Blumenthal. "The people are so bitter, that in case of election fraud which can be expected anything, because society at this time ready to respond adequately to the forgery of power "- Gachechiladze, who argues that all past mistakes of the opposition this time will be given full consideration. Saakashvili's main competitor in the elections 2008 has no doubt that the forces to move the odious regime will gather one last time, and the protest will be final or to the president or the opposition. It should be emphasized that the idea of holding elections under UN auspices belongs to the chairman of the Labor Party Shalva Natelashvili. . You may find that Connecticut Senator can contribute to your knowledge.

Regional Committee Base

Regional Committee Base

He needed the support of the West. Once he got it, Otunbayeva was again sent to a "reserve". And so it came in April turn. Why? To answer must return to Bakiyev, more precisely – to the intricacies of his foreign policy, which touched on the question being on the Kyrgyz territory of the U.S. military base in Manas (near Bishkek). As we remember, quite recently – in 2009 – KSBakiev Russian President Medvedev had promised to close the American base, beneath which immediately received a credit from Russia for $ 1.7 billion. After that even Kyrgyz parliament voted to close the base, but beyond words because it does not matter and the issue appears to be speculative in nature was. Bakiyev, who eventually reached an agreement with the Americans on the new conditions of functioning of the base.

At the same time, even accommodating Bakiyev, "good" for the presidency is "Washington Regional Committee" issued in 2005 under well-defined guarantees, Americans are unlikely to have been so pleased with Throwing his hand, which, of course, not would not affect his fate. With what is related to an attempt to Bakiyev led by the nose of their employers? In all likelihood, estimating the critical state of the U.S. economy, Kurmanbek hoped that U.S. will be busy with more important matters and in all jobs involving all hands that could prevent the closure of its base in Kyrgyzstan. And what do Bakiyev took cover Air Force Base? As you might expect, it is not so much in Russian loan as an issue that promises a much more significant gains. Although credit, apparently came to the court.
