"One country, two systems", the formula supposed to guarantee Hong Kong's autonomy under Chinese sovereignty, was first devised for Taiwan. But it has never held much appeal there, and China's refusal to cede to the demands of pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong comes as no surprise. But the confrontation makes it harder to enthuse Taiwan about unification with the mainland http://econ.st/1wO9jFq






Economists have become increasingly interested in how institutions contribute to economic growth. They are particularly enthused by the view that institutions guaranteeing a "credible commitment" to liberal limits on state action caused the industrial revolution to get off the ground in eighteenth-century England. But some are now questioning whether this idea has been taken too far http://econ.st/1izPcV5





When I attempt to find a simple formula for the period in which I grew up, prior to the First World War, I hope that I convey its fullness by calling it the Golden Age of Security.

Full Moon
Does a full moon really cause erratic behavior in people? Although, for centuries people have linked all kinds of anomalies and offbeat behavior with the fullness of the moon — the words "lunacy " and "lunatic " have the "luna" root, from "lunar" — more recent studies have thrown water on that theory. Research into suicide rates, birth rates, homicides and other violent crimes have shown no correlation between the events and the moon's cycle. But, there are still legends and folklore associated with a full moon. Native Americans gave a name for the full moon of each month, usually relating to other natural phenomena that are happening at the time. January's full moon, for instance, is called Wolf Moon, for the howling of the hungry wolf packs in the dead of winter. And today marks Flower Moon, because of the lushness of May's flowers. Quote:

"There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls." — George Carlin

enthuse
v. Usage Problem, -thused, -thus·ing, -thus·es. v.tr.

v.intr.

[Back-formation from ENTHUSIASM.]
USAGE NOTE The verb enthuse is not well accepted. Its use in the sentence The majority leader enthused over his party's gains was rejected by 76 percent of the Usage Panel in the late 1960s, and its status remains unfavorable: the same sentence was rejected by 65 percent of the Usage Panel in 1997. This lack of enthusiasm for enthuse is often attributed to its status as a back-formation; such words often meet with disapproval on their first appearance and only gradually become accepted over time. But other back-formations such as diagnose (a back-formation from diagnosis that was first recorded in 1861) and donate (first cited in 1785 as a back-formation from donation) are considered unimpeachable English words. Since enthuse dates from 1827, something more significant may be overriding the erosion of popular resistance. Unlike enthusiasm, which denotes an internal emotional state, enthuse denotes either the external expression of emotion, as in She enthused over attending the awards ceremony, or the inducement of enthusiasm by an external source, as in He was so enthused about the diet pills that he agreed to provide a testimonial. Possibly, some people's distaste for this emphasis on external emotional display and manipulation is the source of unease that is manifested by a distaste for the word itself.
