One reason most politicians like the EU is that it allows them to shift the blame to Brussels. Well, British politicians won’t have that excuse any more. Neither will anyone else in Britain.

That means it’s more important than ever for Britain to make good choices, because from now on, if you get it wrong, it’s your fault.

Though it’s seldom mentioned by name, it’s one of the major forces in Texas politics today: dominion theology, or dominionism.

What began as a fringe evangelical sect in the 1970s has seen its influence mushroom — so much so that sociologist Sara Diamond has called dominionism “the central unifying ideology for the Christian Right.”

That’s especially true here in Texas, where dominionist beliefs have, over the last decade, become part and parcel of right-wing politics at the highest levels of government.

The IAEA contributes to improved cancer management worldwide by assisting Member States in devising comprehensive cancer control programmes, implementing nuclear medicine, radiation oncology and radiology facilities, as well as supporting education and training for medical staff.

The new staging app is a reflection of the use of technology to facilitate the dissemination of information to support cancer management worldwide, said May Abdel Wahab, Director of the IAEA’s Division of Human Health, adding that access to radiation medicine for early detection, diagnosis and treatment is a key step towards cancer management, an area in which the IAEA plays a pivotal role.

Kurds will struggle with their economy. Oil is not a panacea.

Not only is oil not present in appreciable quantities in each Kurdish region—and sharing mechanisms remain unclear—but even if Iraqi Kurdistan alone went independent, Kurds must recognize that none of the top 20 oil-producing countries is completely landlocked, as Kurdistan would be.

Beyond oil, Kurdistan’s financial infrastructure is still a work in progress. Modern banking and commercial law remain largely undeveloped. Kurdistan has no currency of its own. Choosing to establish one would raise questions about how Kurdistan would stabilize it.

The contract is further proof that the observed energy co-operation between Russia and India has been intensifying over the last two years.

To date, Moscow has pursued a policy of controlled and limited openness to foreign investments in its upstream sector, where selected Western companies were granted the right to participate in projects in the Arctic shelf (Eni, Statoil, Exxon Mobil) or in exploration of less significant land-based oil and gas fields (BASF, Total).

By 2030, the costs for the Netherlands could run up to 1.2% of GDP, or 10 billion euros.

And, if we also assume innovation is trade-induced as recent examples in the literature have shown, then the Brexit-related costs of 10 billion euros could increase with another 65%.

Should the EU and the UK reach a free trade agreement, the economic consequences of a Brexit for the Netherlands would be reduced by 20%, because one of the important elements of such an agreement would be that NTBs will increase by only 6%, instead of the 13% under WTO regulations.
