Despite a huge pay rise, Chinese president Xi Jinping is still among the lowest paid heads of state in the world, reports our Chinese-language sister paper Want Daily. Xi received a sizable monthly salary bump of 61.6% from 7,020 yuan (US$1,130) to 11,385 yuan (US$1,835) as part of an across-the-board raise for civil servants recently announced by Beijing. This places Xi's official annual salary at roughly US$22,000 based on current exchange rates, just ahead of Singaporean prime minister Lee Hsien Loong's US$21,800 but still significantly behind US president Barack Obama's US$400,000. Xi's salary also pales in comparison to that of other major world leaders. According to ...

Marriage licenses would become a thing of the past in Oklahoma under a bill filed by state Rep. Todd Russ. The Cordell Republican says he wants to protect court clerks from having to issue licenses to same-sex couples. He doesn’t want these workers put in the position of having to condone or facilitate same-sex marriage. Under his plan, a religious official would sign a couple’s marriage certificate, which would then be filed with the clerk. Marriages would no longer be performed by judges. If a couple did not have a religious official to preside over their wedding, they could file an affidavit of common law marriage. “Marriages are not supposed to be a government thing ...

No mention was made by Nugent or host Cam Edwards of how the musician and conservative commentator recently mocked people with mental disabilities on Facebook while using the word "retard."

PressTV... In a new study examining eyewitnesses to crimes, researchers have found evidence to suggest that closing one’s eyes boosts memory recall. Eyewitnesses to crimes were more likely to identify clues if they kept their eyes closed while trying to remember key events, a study published in Legal and Criminology Psychology journal said on Friday. The participants who closed their eyes answered 23 percent more of the questions correctly, the study found. Researchers also found that people who build a good rapport with the person questioning them are more likely to remember key facts. “It is clear from our research that closing the eyes and building rapport help with ...

Pravda... Wer Fremdsprachen nicht kennt, weiß nichts von seiner eigenen.--Goethe. (He who is ignorant of foreign languages knows nothing of his own language.) German is the world's most graphic language. German for "nurse," Krankenschwester, literally means patient's sister. A light bulb is Gluhbirne, literally "glowing pear." The word for present (the present time) is Gegenwart, sort of philosophical, since it means in its two roots "against" and "to wait." German for surcharge, Zuschlag, literally indicates "a beating up of." The word for adultery is Ehebruch, or "marriage break." The word for to ...

The Most Important Lesson I’ve Taught My Son So Far Erin Zammett Ruddy January 15, 2015 The Most Important Lesson I’ve Taught My Son So Far Photo by Erin Zammett Ruddy A few weeks ago I punished my son in a way that I had been punished as a child. I felt like I taught him an important lesson and was proud of myself —but now I wonder if it was the right thing to do. The backstory: Over the holidays, I took my three young children into a fancy chocolate shop to buy a hostess gift. That alone was a recipe for disaster but I implored them not to touch anything or act like wild animals. I was feeling pretty good about the outing until ...

#379. To: Neil McIver (#377) By way of further discussion, my own opinion, again, is the site should be shut down. I agree. I have made the executive decision. LP will be shut down. I apologize to people for putting them through all this, it just took me way too long to understand that the "right thing" all along was for LP to end when Goldi passed away. I was too focused on trying to keep her "baby" going when in fact LP was a part of her and should have been turned off after people were informed of what happened. Add this to all of the personal hassle and aggravation it has caused and there is really no reason for me to continue this. What needs to be done to ...
