Insane Tyrant Of Georgia Losing Power
Saakashvili has failed to fulfill his dream - to head a parliamentary republic that Georgia will become next year. In the parliamentary elections held on October 1, the "Georgian Dream" of Ivanishvili has won. Saakashvili was hoping for the overall victory of the UNM by winning single-member districts, but this would be a fantasy or fraud. Of course, this is a crushing defeat for Saakashvili's party that was way ahead of the "Georgian Dream" until the prison scandal, with 40 percent support compared to 20 of the main opponent. Propaganda campaign in the West did its job. In particularly, Saakashvili was praised for the eradication of corruption, transparency, governance, and democratic institutions. Then a video of a cruel torture in Tbilisi Prison went viral and the resulting stories of corruption of nearly the entire Ministry of Corrections have greatly reduced the value of Western ratings. The citizens realized that a European showcase model was covering a deceitful regime that has been long protecting the criminals. Western analysts, however, were at a loss seeing how events in one prison may influence the election, but this is yet another confirmation of the fact that Georgia under Saakashvili is not a democracy, but, in the figurative expression of the Times, a country of "pluralistic feudalism." Social relationships are built in accordance with "patron-vassal" pattern, that is, the entire moral and material dependence of the citizens from the vertical of power. But ...

Vanuatu / the Republic of Vanuatu / République de Vanuatu /Ripablik blong Vanuatu
Vanuatu / the Republic of Vanuatu / République de Vanuatu /Ripablik blong Vanuatu is an island nation located in the South Pacific Ocean. The archipelago, which is of volcanic origin, is some 1750 kilometres (1090 mi) east of northern Australia, 500 kilometres (310 mi) northeast of New Caledonia, west of Fiji, and southeast of the Solomon Islands, near New Guinea. Vanuatu was first inhabited by Melanesian people. Europeans began to settle in the area in the late 18th century. In the 1880s France and the United Kingdom claimed parts of the country, and in 1906 they agreed on a framework for jointly managing the archipelago as the New Hebrides through a British-French Condominium. An independence movement arose in the 1970s, and the Republic of Vanuatu was created in 1980.Capital:(and largest city)Port Vila/Government:Parliamentary republic/Independencefrom France and the UK : 30 July 1980 /Population: 2009 census243,304 /Currency: Vanuatu vatu (VUV)/Internet TLD.vu/Calling code678.

Renamed the Vanua'aku Pati in 1974, the party pushed for independence; in 1980, amidst the brief Coconut War,the Republic of Vanuatu was created.

Domesticity in Seoul is no longer something that happens in a single place: the house. But something that is constructed by connecting different spaces spread out within the city. Home is not spatially fixed, unitary and consistent; but discontinuous, fragmented and constantly changing.
서울의 집은 더 이상 단일장소가 아니다 : 집. 도시안에 다른공간들을 연결함으로써 조성할 수 있는 것.
집은 공간적으로 고정되거나 일원화 그리고 변함없는 것이 아니라 해체될수도 있으며 여러 곳에 위치할 수 있으며 지속적으로 변화가 가능하다.
Seoul is the strategy to segregate social realities to make daily life un-political. But every depoliticing strategy gets its response. A number of urban home fragments act as parliamentary spaces where diversity meets and is confronted. These are the fragments the project takes into account and prototypes.
Discussion can happen in a warm space based on affection. This is our proposal: To bring politics and conflict into ordinary life.
토론은 애정을 바탕으로 따듯한 공간에서 이루어질 수 있다. 이것이 우리가 바라는 점이다. 정치적인 것들과 혼란을 우리의 일상생활에 가지고오는 것 말이다.

Latvian Military Power [Sampolit Film]
The military defense concept of Latvia is based upon the Swedish-Finnish model of a rapid response force composed of a mobilization base and a small group of career professionals. The armed forces consist of mobile riflemen, an air force, and a navy. Latvia cooperates with Estonia and Lithuania in the joint infantry battalion BALTBAT and naval squadron BALTRON which are available for peacekeeping operations. Latvijas Republika is a North European Baltic country in European Union. It is bordered to the north by Estonia, to the south by Lithuania, and to the east both by Belarus and the Russian Federation. Further information about the country: Latvia proclaimed independence shortly after the end of WWI on November 18, 1918 which is the Independence Day in Latvia. The first major power to recognize Latvia's independence was the soviet Russian SFSR which relinquished authority over the Latvian nation and claims to Latvian territory once and for all times. On June 16, 1940, this promise was broken by the Soviets and the country was occupied by the Red Army. On May 4, 1990, the Supreme Soviet of the Latvian SSR adopted the Declaration of the Restoration of Independence of the Republic of Latvia, subject to a transition period that came to an end with Latvian independence on August 21, 1991, after the failure of the August Putsch. The Saeima, Latvia's parliament, was again elected in 1993, and Russia completed its military withdrawal in 1994. Latvia is a unitary democratic ...
