Electotial College
AMERICAN DIGEST Essays, News, Notes, and Quotes: Our presidential election system has, in effect, 51 elections--
46 states, four Commonwealths, and one District of Columbia.
Each one of those "little" elections has electors assigned to it equal to the number of representatives it has in both houses of Congress; each state (in general) grants it electors to the winning candidate within its boundaries. Since we currently have 538 members in that Congress, a winning candidate needs 270 electoral votes to win. The idea of the now much-maligned electoral college is to serve as part of the intricate system of checks-and-balances that this really, really smart Brits instituted to avoid tyrannies by either a minority OR by a majority. Everybody gets a voice, regardless of whether they are big or little. Dear progs, please look at the UN that you love so much: every country there gets the same vote regardless of size: Luxembourg gets the same vote as China. Should we change that?

AMERICAN DIGEST Essays, News, Notes, and Quotes: China today is extraordinarily homogenous.
It sustains that by remaining almost entirely closed to new entrants except by birth. Unless someone is the child of a Chinese national, no matter how long they live there, how much money they make or tax they pay, it is virtually impossible to become a citizen. Someone who marries a Chinese person can theoretically gain citizenship; in practice few do. As a result, the most populous nation on Earth has only 1,448 naturalised Chinese in total, according to the 2010 census.Even Japan, better known for hostility to immigration, naturalises around 10,000 new citizens each year; in America the figure is some 700,000 The upper Han | The Economist

Shin and Foot Cramping Over Night - Sciatica, Leg Pain, Radiculopathy
Shin and Foot Cramping Over Night - Sciatica, Leg Pain, Radiculopathy: I have suffered on and off with critically low potassium and have had to take prescription supplements to correct this. You might want to ask your GP to run a basic blood panel just to be sure.
Aside from bananas, which most people think of as a good source of potassium, orange juice is also a good source. If your market carries them (and you like them), avacados are an excellent source of potassium too.
It's a pretty simple thing to check your blood potassium, and it may point to the cause of your muscle cramps. I'd urge you to talk to your GP about that before assuming that your cramps are due to your psoriatic arthitis.
