The rocky road ahead to RUCs

We wanna RUC, the govt says, but how complicated will the new vehicle tax be, and will the environment be considered?

[Conference News] In Aug. 10-11 (Sat. - Sun.), Renmin University of China #RUC is hosting a large conference on the formation and practice of the "Grand Unity" conception in #China, involving a lot about the rulership and governance of #Qing dynasty.

I am presenting my paper on the defensive turn of Qing political culture in early #19thcentury from the case of Emperor Jiaqing's imperial tour to Mukden. I appreciate anyone interested in my paper, but I guess the more important thing is the keynote speech part -- look at the keynote speakers!

Finally sorted my RUC for my RV. Had to double check I was reading the odometer right 'cause it was at exactly 56,000 Km. Since RUC is bought in 1,000 Km increments, I guess it will make it easier to figure out when I'm due to buy some more?

Had some extra $ in the car maintenance fund so I've bought what I hope is a year's worth of RUC. There is so much admin. to just keep a car street legal, and now this is one more.

(registration, WOF, insurance, service, and now this)

#Gaza - ❓‼️ "Hvordan kan det betragtes som apolitisk at forholde sig tavs, mens tusindvis af palæstinensere bliver dræbt?"

"Når universiteterne uden videre kan gribe ind over for Rusland og anerkende dets politiske ansvar i den sammenhæng, hvorfor forbliver de så tavse om Israels handlinger?"

Åbent brev til danske universiteter: Lyt til studerende og ansattes krav og boykot Israel

Som studerende og ansatte kræver vi, at universiteterne bryder tavsheden om folkemordet i Gaza. Deres tavshed er nemlig ikke apolitisk, den stiller spørgsmål ved deres engagement i menneskerettigheder

Så ankom resultatet af regeringens #uddannelsesreform. #RUC bliver som det mindste universitet ramt hårdest og skal mindske sit optag med ikke mindre end 14.1%!! Det vil formodenligt ende med den femte fyringsrunde på 10 år. Reelt vil universitetets økonomi være reduceret med næsten 15% på 10 år! #dkpol #uddannelse

The Good Friday Agreement #GFA, signed in 1998, ended most of the violence of #TheTroubles.
It called for a commission to review policing in #NorthernIreland. As a consequence, in 2001, the Royal Ulster Constabulary #RUC was reformed and renamed to #PSNI.
Jon Boutcher, the Chief Constable of the PSNI, leads Operation #Kenova, which has spent the last seven years, and £40m, investigating 101 murders and abductions linked to the #British military double-agent known by the code #Stakeknife.

One of the report’s most serious conclusions is that the impunity was discussed at Cabinet level during the conflict and continued until six years after the #IRA ceasefire of 1994 and two years after the Good Friday Agreement.
(Prime Ministers: Margaret #Thatcher, #JohnMajor, Tony #Blair.)

Oh happy days. Luxon looks like a dead fish in this segment, leaving Simeon to deal with the cold vomit of ADDING to the cost of living and making it more expensive for people to travel.

Going down the rabbit hole... Looks like WSP Global - a Canadian consulting company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WSP_Global - is pushing #RUC across the US and many DOTs are buying into it. Seems like something #StrongTowns should have on their radar but I could not find them commenting on it.
