Why the Netherlands has lurched to the far
The Netherlands is often considered one of the most liberal and tolerant countries on the planet.
It's not just tourists flocking to Amsterdam for recreational drugs and legalised prostitution the country was also the first in the world to legislate for same sex marriage and takes a progressive approach to euthanasia.
But for most of the past 18 months the leading party in the polls has been the stridently anti immigrant, anti Islam, anti Hermes birkin bags fake EU Party for Freedom (the PVV).
The party's leader, international provocateur Geert Wilders, saw his popularity surge in December, when he was found guilty of inciting racial discrimination against Moroccan immigrants.
Similar to rhetoric from Donald Trump and One Nation, Wilders' policies include a ban on headscarves, the Quran and Muslim immigration, the closure of Islamic schools and mosques, and withdrawal from the European Union.
Pulling support between 15 per cent and 20 per cent, the Party for Freedom has been the most popular among a crowded field for much of the campaign.
Wilders has only recently fallen behind the Prime Minister's center right party, itself only polling at 16 per cent.
Polling from the last 12 months shows Wilders' PVV has narrowly fallen behind Prime Minister Rutte's VVD, while the PvdA labour party remains stuck at 8%.
But while Prime Minister Mark Rutte is hoping to stay ahead and win the chance to form a coalition government, the race could be even closer than it looks says Carolienvan Ham, a UNSW politics lecturer and a Dutch voter herself.
"Recent polling experiences with Brexit and in the US seem to indicate that support for populistright tends to be under estimated,"expert in political imitiaton hermes bag representation said.
"I think it's because there might still be a group of people who are polite, or don't dare to say they intend to vote for those parties."
Polls show that concern about the preservation Dutch culture is one of the most dominant political issues but Dr van Ham pins the surge in far right sentiment on voter dissatisfaction, and a failure of mainstream parties to represent their interests.
With the European migration crisis and a rise in terror attacks, the Netherlands is just one of numerous countries witnessing a growth in anti immigrant, anti Islam sentiment.
"The last election was largely about dealing with the economic crisis. Now that the economy has recovered, there is more room for cultural issues again," he said.
The focus on Dutch culture has sparked a debate on what Dutch values actually are.
On the right parties have referred to the country'sJudeo Christianheritage and national iconography, while on the left leaders haveemphasisedtolerance and empathy. Both sides have stressed the importance of Freedom.
But Dr van Ham says the underlying issues driving voting behaviour are not confined to the Netherlands.
"Europe and America are seeing a rise of the far right and it will come to Australia I'm sure," she said.
"There are several clear causes of that First there's a rise in economic inequality and the impact of globalisation, that's led to voters feeling as if their national politicians can't properly represent their replica birkin handbags interests."
"Then, there's the failure of the Labour replica hermes handbags outlet parties on the left to represent the interests of those voters they've shifted to the centre and embraced neoliberalism, letting go of the welfare state a little bit."
"There's a feeling among some citizensthat national politicians are losing control to multinational corporationsand to the European Union."
Matt Sherwood lead strategist at Perpetual Investments and one of the few to correctly predict Trump's victory says the rise of the far right is becoming a global phenomenon in established democracies.
"All around the world governments are struggling to find jobs for lower skilled workers but it's not an economic problem, it's a social problem," he said.
Voters bitter about globalisation and immigration are misdirecting their frustration, Sherwood says, and the prescription of closing borders isn't going to help.
"The jobs Trump and others talk about were lost to technology, so they won't be coming back," he said.

Shell under pressure to reduce spending
LONDON: Royal Dutch Shell is under pressure from shareholders to cut annual spending below US$30 billion after buying BG Group to ensure it can maintain van cleef gold knock off bracelet its dividend given the slow oil price recovery.
Shell and other large oil companies slashed budgets, scrapped huge projects and cut tens of thousands of jobs last year in the face of a slump in oil prices from a June 2014 peak of nearly US$116 a barrel to below US$40.
Shell reduced spending by US$8.4 billion to US$28.9 billion last year and for the first time in more than three decades global capital spending in the oil and gas industry, known as capex, is set to fall for a second year in a row.
After the completion of the US$50 billion BG acquisition, the Anglo Dutch company set 2016 spending for the combined group at US$33 billion and chief executive officer Ben van Beurden said in February it had "options on the table to further reduce our spending should conditions warrant that step".
At US$33 billion, Shell's capex is the highest among its rivals, exceeding that of US giant Exxon Mobil by about US$10 billion. After increasing its debt to nearly 25% of its market capitalisation after the BG acquisition, investors and analysts say Shell must tighten its belt further.
"Shell needs to cut capex to give the market confidence that the dividend can be sustained, and grown in future," said Charles Whall, portfolio manager at Investec Asset Management, which owns Shell shares.
Whall expects Shell's 2016 capex to be cut below US$30 billion, and to trend lower.
Steady dividend payouts have been the main attraction for investors in large oil companies over the years and some have tapped the debt market to maintain payouts in the face of last year's oil price rout.
Shell, for example, has not cut its dividend since the World War II and has vowed to keep it unchanged following the BG deal.
Ben Ritchie, senior investment manager at Aberdeen Asset Management, which is a top 10 investor in Shell, said while the company was expected to do more to reduce costs, it should not endanger growth.
"We wouldn't be surprised to see capex guidance lowered again. However, we want the company to continue to focus on driving long term growth," Ritchie said.
"Simply cancelling or deferring economically viable projects to hit a lower capex number doesn't make sense, especially when the company's balance sheet remains reasonably robust," he said.
Following the BG acquisition, Shell's production and cash flow is set to grow rapidly thanks to new assets in Brazil's offshore deepwater oil fields and Australian gas, and hence its need to invest in new projects is lower, according to analysts at Bernstein, who rate the company's shares as "outperform".
"Shell copy van cleef white gold bracelet has yet to give investors enough comfort that all the numbers stack up in 2016 if oil prices don't move up from current levels," Bernstein said, anticipating that Shell will revise its 2016 capex to US$28 billion at its June 7 investor day.
Spending cuts could include a US$1 billion reduction in exploration, about US$2 billion from cost savings and some US$1.8 billion from project delays or cancellations, they said.
Shell has "the capacity to reduce capex significantly, and should have had sufficient time by June to review the portfolio following the BG acquisition," Investec's Whall said.
According to a top 20 investor in Shell who declined to be identified, Shell should aim to reduce spending to US$25 billion by 2017: "Anything above US$28 US$30 billion in 2016 would be a disappointment."
Shell shares have traded at a discount to most rivals over the past year though 25 out of 32 analysts have "buy" or "strong buy" recommendations for Shell, according to Reuters data.
Shell's 12 month forward share price to earnings ratio is below 20 compared with an average of about 27 for its peers, which indicates investors are anticipating higher growth from rivals, according to Reuters data.
Signalling further capex and costs reductions would boost investor confidence in the stock, according to Whall.
"If Shell can deliver clear, decisive capex guidance and instil confidence in the dividend sustainability, there is considerable performance potential imitation bracelet van cleef alhambra given its valuation discount," he said. "Ben van Beurden can pull this together." Reuters

She's not moody or tired. She looks forward to breakfast, going outside, and then brings a toy to play. racing and fetching. She shares her happy self. That's gratitude.
Also don't limit your love to just an intimate circle of friends and family. What about spreading celebration to other people, heading into universal love and appreciation? Just like Earth Day.
Where's the celebration and gratitude in struggle and pain?
Things can be tragic and unbearable in life sometimes, but when you get through it there is tremendous relief. You're changed. You learn and grow and become strong. The relief is celebration and gratitude for living through hell.
Even in death, we celebrate a person's life and meaning. Pain and loss have celebration because you feel so much, no matter fake hermes belt price how bad it may seem. The agony and hurt comes from loving and missing. When we remember and honor the life of someone, their memory is a celebration. You have gratitude to them for being in your life and your loving memories are a personal celebration and tribute to them.

What's in Kinder Morgan pipeline for Victoria
After replica Hermes belt france all the enviro alarm bells, after all the corporate spin, theessential question remains: Is the Kinder Morgan pipeline worth the risk?
Or, to be more precise (and perfectly parochial), is it worth the risk to Victoria, which would see another 20 oil tankers a month slide by its front door?
The Kinder Morgan road show came to Colwood's Juan de Fuca rec centre Thursday, the latest stop in a three month, 30 city series of info sessions on the company's proposal to twin its 59 year old Trans Mountain pipeline from imitation hermes belt on sale Alberta to Burnaby.
The Kinder Morgan proposal is often portrayed as Northern Gateway Lite, slightly less controversial than Enbridge's dream of a pipeline to Kitimat. If you were to bet on one of the two being approved, the smart money would be on the former. It would mostly follow an existing route, not carve a new path like Northern Gateway.
The tankers' passage from terminal to open water is more established, too, though the Vancouver Victoria corridor is obviously much more heavily populated. That's the bit that has Islanders asking what's in it for them.
The attraction for oil companies is obvious.
They already fill five or six tankers a month at Burnaby's Westridge terminal, 80 per cent of them heading for California, another 10 per cent off to Asia.
That number would rise to 25 tankers a month under the expansion plan, with half the ships Asia bound.
Kinder Morgan talks about stringent safety measures: Double hulled tankers, tethered to tugs from Vancouver through Haro Strait, two pilots on board until they clear Race Rocks. The extra tankers would boost the number of large vessels in Juan de Fuca Strait by just six per cent.
But that's hardly reassuring to opponents. To them, it just highlights how vulnerable our waters are to the oil equivalent of the Big One. It would only take a single spill to Exxon Valdez our shores.
Stand on the beach and you can already see a steady stream of tankers, roughly one a day, carrying Alaska crude to four refineries in Puget Sound. They're among the roughly 9,000 big ships transiting Juan de Fuca Strait each year, burning heavy bunker fuel.
We haven't seen a significant fuel spill since the Japanese fish processor Tenyo Maru collided with a Chinese freighter off the entrance to the strait in 1991, but there have been hermes belts Knockoff recent near misses.
In November 2009, the bulk carrier Hebei was blown onto a reef near Mayne Island. Little was made of the incident at the time, but the Pacific States/British Columbia Oil Spill Task Force a creation of government later said we dodged a bullet, that there was a high risk of a fuel tank rupture that would have gunked up both sides of the strait.
In 2010, a South Korean captain was jailed after getting caught drunk driving a freighter just west of Port Angeles.
A smattering of sign waving protesters huddled at hermes black belt knockoff the entrance to the Juan de Fuca fieldhouse, where 49 people attended Thursday's open house, but there was no sequel to Wednesday's little drama at the Cedar Hill rec centre. Company reps ended that information session early after protesters took down Kinder Morgan's signage and replaced it with their own (Saanich's version of total anarchy).
Kinder Morgan expects to make a formal application to the National Energy Board late next year. If approved, the expanded line would begin operating in 2017.

Romania hands Germany 5
Germany had its worst away defeat for 65 years, Greece's long unbeaten run ended and the Czech Republic lost again as Wednesday's Euro 2004 warm ups went badly wrong for some tournament hopefuls.
Germany was thrashed 5 1 by Romania in Bucharest, Greece was beaten 4 0 by fellow finalists the Netherlands and the Czechs lost 1 0 at home to Japan.
The 2002 World Cup runner up was without several leading players and had no answer as Romania raced to a 4 0 half time lead with two goals for Ionel Danciulescu and one each for Mihaita Plesan and Razvan Rat. Gabriel Caramarin added a fifth, with Philipp Lahm scoring Germany's consolation.
It was Germany's worst result since the 5 1 loss at home to England in a World Cup qualifier in September 2001. The heaviest away defeat before this van cleef clover ring replica was a 5 1 loss to Hungary in a Budapest friendly in 1939.
"I am hurt," Germany coach Rudi Voeller said. "The starting line up today will certainly not be used again, but still the players on the pitch were all experienced professionals. We made amateurish mistakes and paid a heavy price for them. All we can do for the first half is apologise to everyone."
The Czech Republic also came unstuck as, having gone 20 games without defeat, it lost its second in a row. A first half goal from Tatsuhiko Kubo gave Japan a victory that followed the Czechs' 2 1 loss to Ireland in Dublin four weeks ago.
Kim van cleef and arpels perlee ring price replica Kallstrom put Sweden ahead against Portugal in the 17th minute and, after Luis Figo missed a penalty, Pauleta equalised for the host side in the 33rd. Sweden regained the lead through a Rui Jorge own goal, but Nuno Gomes's header in injury time made it 2 2.
There were emotional scenes in Italy where Roberto Baggio returned to the Italian team after a five year absence to make his international farewell.
The 37 year old hero of Italy's run to the 1994 World Cup final played 87 minutes before leaving the field to a standing ovation.
Spain took a deserved lead in the 53rd minute through substitute Fernando Torres but striker Christian Vieri levelled three minutes later with a header.
Greece's impressive streak looked set to reach 16 games as it reached half time in Eindhoven scoreless, but Roy Makaay, Boudewijn Zenden and Johnny Heitinga netted for the Dutch in an 11 minute burst and Pierre van Hooijdonk grabbed a late fourth.
Roberto Baggio in action during his
Ebbe Sand's header was enough for Denmark to overcome Scotland 1 0 in Copenhagen, and Switzerland beat Slovenia 2 1 in Geneva for its first win of the year.
Meanwhile, Argentinian soccer legend Diego Maradona has been able to get out of bed for the first time since being admitted to hospital 12 days ago with severe heart and lung problems, a vca ring fake spokesman for Argentinian president Nestor Kirchner said on Wednesday.

will require grizzly hunters to remove meat

The regulation is already in place for black bears and other large game animals. Wildlife Federation, said in an interview Thursday. that the unifying theme, the big picture we pushing. How do we make sure we have grizzlies 80 years from now? said that based on talks with provincial officials, the regulation should be adopted later this year. auditor general office is going to investigate grizzly bear management in the province. said the federation supports more frequent inventories of grizzly populations as well as studies into cumulative impacts on the species, including habitat loss and traffic and railway related deaths.
A requirement to remove edible portions of a grizzly bear carcass from the field, touted by Green party MLA Andrew Weaver in a private member bill in 2015, is not expected to carry much weight with long standing opponents of the grizzly bear hunt.

why do some people need such little sleep
Some of the world's greatest leaders, from Napoleon Bonaparte and Winston Churchill to Bill Clinton and Margaret Thatcher, are said to have managed on just four to six hours' sleep a night, whereas the typical teenager finds it difficult to get out of bed in less than 10.
Newborn babies can sleep for up to 18 hours admittedly at irregular intervals whereas an elderly person may find it hard to sleep longer than six, although they often have to resort to the odd afternoon nap to make up for what they lacked at night.
Sleep is the quintessential ingredient of life. Every animal does it at some point in the 24 hour cycle and people who are forcibly deprived of sleep are effectively undergoing torture. But the big unanswered question is how much sleep do we actually need?
Some people seem happy with four or five hours, although most people would feel sleep deprived on less than six. Others need a good seven or eight hours of sleep and adolescents are renowned for extended kips.
So how much sleep is necessary for a healthy mind and body, and does this amount truly need to vary between people and age groups?
The latest study into sleep may help to resolve the issue with the discovery that certain people in the population carry the smallest of genetic mutations in a gene that appears to play a significant role in deciding just how much sleep human beings need.
Scientists studied an extended family in California and found that a mother and her daughter shared a life long habit of rising in the very early hours of the morning with no apparent ill effects. They routinely went to bed between 10.30pm and 11pm and got up between 4am and 4.30am.
The researchers Hermes birkin bags fake took blood samples from all members of the family and analysed their DNA for any signs that could explain this unusual behaviour. The tests revealed that the mother and her daughter did in fact share a tiny "point mutation" in a gene known as hDEC2, which is known to affect the regulation of other genes and has been implicated in the control of sleeping patterns fashion cheap hermes handbags in animals.
Other members of the family who followed a more conventional sleeping pattern were not found to have inherited the same mutation. These family members typically required the normal eight hours or so of sleep a night instead of the five to six hours of the mother and daughter.
Just to make sure that the hDEC2 mutation was truly involved in this unusual sleeping pattern, rather than a coincidental occurrence in the two women, the scientists went on to create genetically engineered mice with the same point mutation to the same gene. These mice also exhibited unusually short patterns of sleep, a feature not seen in ordinary mice.
"The implication from the study would be that there is a genetically wired system in our body to tell us how much sleep do we need," explained Ying Hui Fu, Professor of Neurology at the University of California in San Francisco, the study's head.
"Yet, we really don't know anything about how this is done. This discovery provides an opportunity for us to begin to probe into the pathway regulating our sleep quantity and need," said Professor Fu, whose study is published in the journal Science.
"It is not clear at the present time how this mutation can lead to short sleep quantity. This is one of the areas that we are pursuing actively," she said.
The scientific evidence suggesting that different people are genetically wired to require shorter than average periods of sleep goes back many years.
In 1999, for instance, scientists identified the existence of a gene or more specifically an inherited mutation within a gene that appeared to confer something called familial advanced sleep phase syndrome.
This is an inherited condition where people tend to go to bed early and get up early, which can also happen when people abandon normal sleeping routines, such as at the weekend and when on holiday. People who exhibit this all the time are known as "morning larks", to distinguish them from "night owls" at the other extreme who routinely go to bed late and get up late.
The scientists in this study, led by Christopher Jones of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, did not actually find the gene or its mutation they could only show that it must exist in the 29 people from three different families that they had studied.
People with advanced sleep phase syndrome, however, still sleep for the usual seven and a half to eight hours a night, it's just that their daily routine or "circadian rhythm" is shifted. Scientists believe that genetic mutations can also occur in the genes influencing this aspect of the 24 hour sleep wake cycle.
Sleep is a product of both circadian rhythm and another controlling factor that, put simply, measures the amount of sleep we have had. When we need sleep, this "homeostatic" mechanism makes us sleepy; when we've replica hermes handbags outlet had enough sleep, it tells us to wake up.
Professor Fu and her team suspect that the mutation they have found plays a role in the homeostatic mechanism that helps to control the amount of sleep we need. What the latest study tells us is that the actual quantity of sleep needed is partly under genetic control and that is the result of who our parents were, rather than what we do each day.

The latest study into sleep may help to resolve the issue with the discovery that certain people in the population carry the smallest of genetic mutations in a gene that appears to play a significant role in deciding just how much sleep human beings need.
Scientists studied an extended family in California and found that a mother and her daughter shared a life long habit of rising in the very early hours of the morning with no apparent ill effects. They routinely went to bed between 10.30pm and 11pm and got up between 4am and 4.30am.
The researchers Hermes birkin bags fake took blood samples from all members of the family and analysed their DNA for any signs that could explain this unusual behaviour. The tests revealed that the mother and her daughter did in fact share a tiny "point mutation" in a gene known as hDEC2, which is known to affect the regulation of other genes and has been implicated in the control of sleeping patterns fashion cheap hermes handbags in animals.
Other members of the family who followed a more conventional sleeping pattern were not found to have inherited the same mutation. These family members typically required the normal eight hours or so of sleep a night instead of the five to six hours of the mother and daughter.
Just to make sure that the hDEC2 mutation was truly involved in this unusual sleeping pattern, rather than a coincidental occurrence in the two women, the scientists went on to create genetically engineered mice with the same point mutation to the same gene. These mice also exhibited unusually short patterns of sleep, a feature not seen in ordinary mice.
"The implication from the study would be that there is a genetically wired system in our body to tell us how much sleep do we need," explained Ying Hui Fu, Professor of Neurology at the University of California in San Francisco, the study's head.
"Yet, we really don't know anything about how this is done. This discovery provides an opportunity for us to begin to probe into the pathway regulating our sleep quantity and need," said Professor Fu, whose study is published in the journal Science.
"It is not clear at the present time how this mutation can lead to short sleep quantity. This is one of the areas that we are pursuing actively," she said.
The scientific evidence suggesting that different people are genetically wired to require shorter than average periods of sleep goes back many years.
In 1999, for instance, scientists identified the existence of a gene or more specifically an inherited mutation within a gene that appeared to confer something called familial advanced sleep phase syndrome.
This is an inherited condition where people tend to go to bed early and get up early, which can also happen when people abandon normal sleeping routines, such as at the weekend and when on holiday. People who exhibit this all the time are known as "morning larks", to distinguish them from "night owls" at the other extreme who routinely go to bed late and get up late.
The scientists in this study, led by Christopher Jones of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, did not actually find the gene or its mutation they could only show that it must exist in the 29 people from three different families that they had studied.
People with advanced sleep phase syndrome, however, still sleep for the usual seven and a half to eight hours a night, it's just that their daily routine or "circadian rhythm" is shifted. Scientists believe that genetic mutations can also occur in the genes influencing this aspect of the 24 hour sleep wake cycle.
Sleep is a product of both circadian rhythm and another controlling factor that, put simply, measures the amount of sleep we have had. When we need sleep, this "homeostatic" mechanism makes us sleepy; when we've replica hermes handbags outlet had enough sleep, it tells us to wake up.
Professor Fu and her team suspect that the mutation they have found plays a role in the homeostatic mechanism that helps to control the amount of sleep we need. What the latest study tells us is that the actual quantity of sleep needed is partly under genetic control and that is the result of who our parents were, rather than what we do each day.
