Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?

  Demosthenes, a 4th century b.c.e. Greek Orator, advised that young men, "...possess beauty in respect of person, self-discipline in respect of soul, and manliness in respect of both...".  Cicero, a 1st century b.c.e. Roman Orator, advised us that fortune, or the random events of reality outside of our control, "…ought to be beaten back by a strong and manly soul, as a wave is by a rock."  In fact, our modern word for virtue comes from the Latin word virtus, which means courage, excellence, or manliness (virtus itself comes from the Latin word vir, meaning man).  The ancients were obsessed with the concept of manliness.  A man, according to Aristotle, is one who is confident in the face of danger, moderate in his use and enjoyment of opulent things, magnanimous in estimation of his own worth, ambitious in his desire of honor, patient in response and dealings with his passions, truthful in his life and dealings with others, righteously indignant when done wrong, and just towards himself and others.  He paints a beautiful portrait of this person, saying that this man:

“…does not take petty risks, nor does he court danger, because there are few things that he values highly; but he takes great risks, and when he faces danger he is unsparing of his life, because to him there are some circumstances in which it is not worth living…He is bound to…speak and act straightforwardly…and he cannot bear to live in dependence upon somebody else…He does not nurse resentment…In troubles that are unavoidable or of minor importance he is the last person to complain or ask for help…his gait is measured, his voice deep, his speech unhurried.” (Aristotle, Nichomachean Ethics)

  One familiar with the writings of Ayn Rand will find an illustration of this definition in the characters of John Galt, Hank Rearden, Francisco d’Anconia, and Howard Roark.  Many of these virtues are shared with women. The major difference, however, between the manly John Galt and the womanly Dagny Taggart was Galt’s supreme confidence in dealing with reality (other Objectivist women have stressed similar themes).

   To the ancients, it was manliness that defeated the Persians at Marathon. It was manliness that allowed the Spartans to fight at Thermopylae. It was manliness that caused Xenophon and his 10,000 to return from the depths of the Persian Empire to Greece. Manliness was one of the key distinctions the Greeks and Romans saw between themselves and the Barbarians, be they the effiminate and opulent Persians or the unbalanced and barbaric Celts.  Manliness was the attribute that protected the West's birth of Freedom and Thought.

    But today, every single element of manliness that Aristotle described is under attack.  The 1960's ushered  in the era of the Feminists.  Unlike intellectual trends, feminism became a cultural trend.  But not only was their view of womanliness skewed, their view of manliness was also dangerously wrong.  Sadly, this view has come to dominate our culture, beit in the form of the metrosexual, the effeminate man, or the man in touch with his feminine side. Instead of a man who is courageous and confident in facing reality,  men are now told that it is okay to be soft and cowardly.  Instead of a man who is moderate, men are now told to indulge themselves in the luxuries of life; to spend huge sums on fashionable clothes, stylish haircuts, and manicures.  Instead of a man who is magnanimous, men are now told to be pusillanimous; to apologize for their greatness and expound upon their defects.  Instead of a man who is ambitious in his desire of honor, men are now told to seek the lowly and to be meek.   Instead of a man who is patient in response to his passions, men are now told to cry uncontrollably, to let their emotions pour out. Instead of a man who is truthful, men are now told that white lies are okay, and that it is better to flatter than to "offend".  Instead of a man who is righteously indignant, men are now told to turn the other cheek; to forgive and forget; to be compassionate to our worst enemies.  And instead of a man who is just, men are now told to trade favors, to barter for social acceptance, to achieve by means of social connections, to be tolerant of all opinions, and to love thy neighbor as thyself.

    What are the consequences of the destruction of manliness? The bird flu has not even killed 60 people in the entire world (or 0.00000001% of the world's population).  But we are bombarded with cries of fear and panic, told to stay away from chickens and other birds, to keep our children out of the parks where birds are, and prepare for the worst pandemic the world has ever seen (remember, it's wrong to be confident in the face of reality). 50 years ago, Americans were fit and trim.  But now, obesity is sky-rocketing and quickly becoming the greatest health risk in America today (remember, it's wrong to be moderate).  To your average American in the mid-20th century, depression was an emotional state that could be overcome on your own and ADD/ADHD was unheard of.  But now, 18.8 million people are depressed, and 1 in 8 adolescents are depressed (remember, it's wrong to keep your passions under control and deal with them patiently).  Before the 1960's, Americans generally trusted their government.  But ever since Richard Nixon, a chronic distrust has grown throughout America; not only for politicians (Bill Clinton), but for husbands and wives (divorce), children and school (cheating), the media (Rathergate), and even science (Faked Cells) (remember, it's okay to tell a white lie...).  September 11th rekindled the fire of manliness.  But five years later, we are told that the Iraqi war was a mistake, that we should withdraw our troops, and that we should enter into more "diplomatic talks" with a soon-to-be nuclear Iran (remember, it's wrong to believe in righteous indignation).   

    Even a few women have noticed the disappearance of the manly man.  Bonnie Tyler's song, "Holding Out for a Hero", says:

"Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where’s the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?

Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need

I need a hero
I'm holding out for at hero 'till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero 'till the morning light
He’s gotta be sure
And it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life." (bold mine)

Paula Cole asked:

"Where is my John Wayne
Where is my Prairie Son
Where is my happy ending
Where have all the cowboys gone

Where is my Marlboro man
Where is his shiny gun
Where is my lonely ranger
Where have all the cowboys gone?"

    Both of these women, in a nostalgic tone, are seeking the strong, proud, and confident man of the past.  Even Neo-Con Ann Coulter has voiced similar desires.

    For centuries, philosophers have attacked our ability to comprehend reality via reason.  But now, the very ability to exist in and deal with reality is under attack.  The loss of manliness has not come about because of a small philosophical movement, generally detached from our culture.  This loss has come because the culture itself, your average American, has accepted as true the feminist’s doctrines. From Hollywood to Washington, from Chicago to Houston, men are abdicating that most sacred of Western weapons, the shield of manliness that has allowed our society to exist for over 2.5 thousand years.  And because this is not an intellectual movement, but a cultural movement, this trend must be fought, it must be stopped, and it must be stopped now.  Philosophers will not be able to reverse this trend.  Only your average American can.  And may the rallying cry be the advice of Plato, that men be, "...not only wise but manly, with [the] ability to carry out their purpose to the full; and who will not falter through softness of soul."

Congratulations for an excellent post!

You made me want to read "Nichomachean Ethics" as soon as possible!

[Jason Roberts]

Thanks Bruno!

The Nichomachean Ethics are a must read :). I suggest picking it up as soon as possible.

Afterwards, if you would like to see the Ethics in action, I'd pick up Polybius. His history of Rome during the Punic Wars (the wars against Carthage) provides some real-life, historical examples of what Aristotle teaches. It's amazing!

[Bruno T. Raymundo]

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll look into it.

[Zama202]

This is an excellent entry. However, that being said, I do have two disagreements offered respectfully. First, I do think that the femminist assault on men and masculinity is an intellectual movement (as well as cultural). I have read too many femininst arguments which include masculinity as part of the problem with any social problem. Read this entry by Nick Provenzo to get a taste of what I am saying:

http://ruleofreason.blogspot.com/archives/2006_01_22_default.htm#113833282699162747

Second, I have a little trouble with this statement, "Instead of a man who is moderate, men are now told to indulge themselves in the luxuries of life; to spend huge sums on fashionable clothes, stylish haircuts, and manicures." I agree with your overall point and the other examples you gave but this objection comes across as almost Spartan, encouraging almost a form of asceticism. There is nothing wrong with the luxuries of life, fashionable clothes, stylish haircuts and manicures. These are all life affirming things to be enjoyed. Now if you are going to say that persuing them to impress others is wrong I would completely agree. That would be second handedness. But in and of themselves I see nothing wrong with them.

So with those two minor criticisms I think your post was excellent.

Is it a coincidence that manly men disappeared at the same time women stopped wearing dresses?

[deastbrook]

I would imagine manly men disappeared in the 70's after the anti-culture revloution of the 60's. Nihilism and a general ugliness have permeated most of popular culture. It seems men have progressively become wimps and women have progressively abandoned class and stature and become tasteless and tacky in their attire with the slut paradigm as the preffered expression of their "individualism". (I'm not saying this applies to all women, I'm just describing a cultural trend.) Modern philosophy came to totally dominate the broader culture after the 60's. There are few remnants of the earlier more benevolent eras left.

[NickMunro]

This is the first entry I have read of this blog... wow. I am off to read more!

thank you

[Jason Roberts]

Myrhaf,

There might be some sort of connection there. I'd never thought of that. I won't say it is "the" reason. But the age where "beautiful women wear beautiful dresses" is surely out the window.

deastbrook,

I agree with what you are saying. I'd also say that I think another reason women today, especially teenagers, look more "slutty" is because they've yet to find a man of Confidence.

Nick Munro,

I'm glad you liked it! I hope that you enjoy some of my others as well :).

[Wendy S.]

Paula Cole's "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone" is not sung as a nostalgic song. She's actually being sarcastic. Look at the rest of the lyrics. By only posting the chorus to this song you are completely misusing it.

[Rebekah]

This was very interesting, and a few good points were made, but I don't entirely agree with your stance. It's almost as if you would like America to go back to the 1950's, back to when women weren't considered as good as men. You didn't really expand on how a feminist’s "view of womanliness [is] skewed." What do you think the correct view of womanliness is? What should a woman be? Should she stay out of the workplace? Should she be only a housewife? Perhaps you would like America to go back even further, before the 1900's, before women's suffrage.

"Instead of a man who is righteously indignant, men are now told to turn the other cheek; to forgive and forget; to be compassionate to our worst enemies. . . . men are now told to . . . love thy neighbor as thyself." I don't believe the feminist movement advocated Christian ideals, but if it did, what is so wrong with that?

[Donovan]

You seem to have ignored the ridiculous sexism and stupidity that went along with what being a "real man" was in American culture. I don't think there's anything wrong with the "metrosexual" movement. At it's heart, it's an aesthetic one, if you think it emphasizes the adoption of men who are weak...you are misguided. Is there something inherently wrong with men who don't have to feign and posture to put on a set of acts that establish that they're what we consider "masculine"? You can phrase it however you want, call it being "feminine" and "unmanly", but to me, they're just more realistic about looking desirable for women. And why shouldn't they be? Women have had to uphold an infinitely greater number of visual requirements to impress men over the years. Wearing tight clothes that emphasize one's sexuality and being detailed about one's appearance have been solely female spheres for much of history---and now that "metrosexual" men are starting to repay the female gender by acting in the same manner, men who cling to archaic ideas about what "masculine" is are frightened. There is no reason to cling to the past conception of masculinity, except for the fact that it lingers in the minds of the backwards minded, and those who don't want to adapt and compete with those are willing to repay women for being sexual objects by being sexual objects themselves. I see no reason why we can't completely restructure what being masculine means if we want, or at the very LEAST, allow those who want to room to experiment. Yes, there are probably ways in which the socially generated conceptions of male and female are useful, but you can't deny there are also ways in which they are damaging and unequal and probably unnatural, so I say allow men to search for what the definition of true masculinity, if there is one, is unencumbered by a warped past.

[Jayme]

In response to Jason Roberts, she is not being sarcastic in that sense in "Where have all the cowboys gone?" and the writer of this blog has the right idea. The whole song if you REALLY pay attention has to with a woman falling in love with the old fashion ideal of a cowboy, the I will take care of you, share the workload, type of man. Instead she ends up with a man that forgets her, "I am wearing my new dress, you don't even notice me." and is out constantly, "And you join them at the bar almost every single day of the week." Watch a western some day... a nice good John Wayne movie. I was raised on them and I would DIE for a REAL cowboy!
As for the blog, despite being a feminst myself, I still believe that there ARE some difference in the sex and they are there for a damn good reason. I think the whole movement has gotten out of hand. I personally would love to see more renaissance type men. Men that were strong and capable and yet could enjoy art and beauty. My father taught me how to not just mow the lawn and fix a car but how to sew and iron a shirt right. To me that is the perfect man, he was still the breadwinner, a capable strong sure man that could defend his family and yet understood that everyone is capable of doing anything they set thier minds too without worrying about male/female roles. You can be a gentle understanding man that takes care of yourself (my father would get manicures once in awhile) and STILL be a tough hero type of male.

[Melanie Podbielski]

I agree with a lot of what you say in this blog. The description by Aristotle of what a manliness describes many things that have almost diapered in our culture today. However I do not see why this should be a description only of ideals for men. Men and women both should aspire to love justice, show patience, speak and act straightforwardly, not deceptively. If these are manly qualities is this to say women who are independent, courageous, and just aren't real women? I agree with most of the ideals discussed in this blog but not that a person should only strive for a set of gender-specific ideals. Good character is universal.

[Jason Roberts]

Wendy S.,

That she is being sarcastic, merely from reading the words, is indeed understandable. However, when I combine the words with the emotions portrayed in the song, I gather a much different picture.

[Jason Roberts]

Rebekah,

You raise some very good points. My purpose behind writing this was not targeted at women, but men.

I fully support the belief (or fact really!) that women are equal to men and should be treated as such. However, it is a fact that women have a different psychology than men. As such, I view it as important that a man fulfill his psychology and not try and live under the psychological visage of a woman.

It is this policy designed to attract in terms of how much money you can prichem from the federal budget, which, perhaps, not bad. And the money for some reason do not give real results in the form of production growth, as in plant and animal without cause. However analysts recall, for example, the program Hops and beer of Russia. Chuvashia in ee effect billions of rubles. equal to the result? Today the Republic collects zelenogo gold approximately 150 tons per year. This is 20 a little less than in 1993, and 3% consumed Russia hops. that is now the leaders of the republic are proud that our farmers more than anyone else received preferential loans to the development of private plots farms - the newspaper said. Only the newspaper writes, indeed, the amount received up to two credits coming age now for 3 billion rubles. And where is impact? Ee has not yet seen. Even the cows know to grow, even beginning to decline. Well, not because our farmers who are lazy. Just the authorities had to think through the whole chain of embedding e of funds - action - the crowd - processing - Implementation. and some of our best economists in Russia, intellectual capacity was only enough to develop the first level. but his household is the essence of the link - the third, the formation of the collection molokhotya meat - is convinced the author of the publication. According to the newspaper, a government meeting, where he discussed a list of the agroindustrial complex of the republic in the coming five years, the most pessimistic predictions were heard. Specialists reminded the ministers that the presence of existing conditions, the milk a profitable mere presence should only seven thousand kg per year per cow: Compare this with the current rate - 2,7 thousand pounds, and you quite clearly that to achieve this level of 4 Age - a task kinsman fiction. For the past 20 years the country unreasonably failed to move beyond even trehtysyachny abroad. To the problem of shortage of places in kindergartens address Arguments and Facts, Chuvashia in the publication Adult naive view in the garden. According to city administration , in line at a place in kindergarten are more than 6,000 young citizens. While that existing urban machinations DOW calculated in 20,000 children, to meet the demand needed to expand it for nearly a third, the author notes the publication. if this is the presence of the current financial situation, and if so, in that period - issues such edition set the head of the Department of Education Capital Sergei Kudryashov. According to Kudryashov, tensions here and there in kindergarten will decrease and a half two years. He explained that in May 6000 with the children standing in line - children with one and a half to three years, and from three to six - only one thousand. that is mostly needed nurseries group, the need for which was not even just a few years ago, when my mother sat at home with children up to three years. Now the situation has changed, and parents tend to send their children to the nursery as early as eighteen months. If the desire is not this situation, a large queue now would not have - told Kudryashov. According to the Head of Education, adopted by the City Council to develop a list of pre-school education in the years 2005-2008 should razrulit situation. but that is alarming, the newspaper said. in Cheboksary in recent years seen a baby boom. but thus the age of one and a half, that is, for the time when the authorities wanted to make the problem of kindergartens, places need more, suggests the author of the publication, and provides certainty for mothers to give them the right to turn a naive garden from the first days of pregnancy. For the first time in many years in Chuvashia poacher received this period. and in this case played its occupation to resist the legitimate representatives of the government, stresses in the material Sovetskaya Chuvashia. newspaper wrote recently Ibresinsky district court considered the criminal case of poaching. A year ago in the territory of Berezovskys forestry forestry Ibresinskogo 42-year-old manager of one of the firms in Kanash V. Tabakov together with his friends went hunting. headlong out of an elk, shot him and to cut the carcass. but the shots did not go unheeded. Local huntsman to wake out instead of illegal hunting and reported what he saw officer supervisor. Inspector Cheboksary arrived at the place of illegal hunting is not one, but together with the local police district department. meanwhile conservationists checked around a village of suspicious persons, two police officers near another village stopped the car GAZELLE, in which approximately transported illegally harvested elk meat. There also clashed during largely determined, say experts, the end of the case. On the demand of police officers to begin door furgonhotya punish its contents was followed by failure in a very aggressive way, and after the brawl, which resulted in V. Tabakov escaped from the hands of guards, closed the cabin, and wishing to escape, but not crushed one with employees in the form. Shot rang out before departing car. Policeman shot before the wheels hit. from three deflated tires Gazel stopped in a field, a poacher was arrested. The attacker was caught red-handed, still has actively resisted the authorities. He repair the damage that has occurred naturally in the amount of 55 thousand rubles. Poacher sentenced to 1.5 years loss of freedom from imprisonment in a penal colony. It would seem that justice is done. But, despite a ban on hunting in the unresolved future of animals in the country is still willing to chop off a piece of no mans goodness. For example, early age of a similar case was Shumerlya aspire to improve the area. Judging to everything, without any reason and poachers go unpunished, summarizes edition. Moskovsky Komsomolets Cheboksary publishes material about children with fugitives. According to statistics, now with a home run every year 50,000 children. Approximately 30% of them - for the bad relations with parents, primarily with his stepfather, Another 30% - from parents who abuse alcohol. evaders with studies - 18%. Due to lack of attention to parents with family leave 12% of children. Two-thirds of children now growing up in families with low dohodhotya experience is very painful. close to 40% of runaways - childrens homes. Thus, the cash about boarding another fast a lot, so reach to Cheboksary they try on commuter trains. they pay for street presence of the input does not require, before joining the controller can drive a sufficient distance, said Senior Inspector PDN CHLOVDT Svetlana Selkin. According to her, often running down children with Kanashsky boarding. Some of them ran down to a few times, the most savvy have already grasped that the train can be removed and give back to the orphanage. So if they ask for leave for family members, and themselves sit on a bus and travel to Cheboksary. escapees from Kozlowski or Shumerlinskij boarding in stations not be found. Kanashsky station on the platform of the inspector, PDN recorded cases of begging children in urban boarding school. Many of them, they know the children too, seeing friends policemen run away or just become a good girl. at this years railway station, served by PDN CHLOVDT, reported two cases of childhood injury, a little - with a fatal outcome. Such a performance - until last year. By the way, with a few of these cases occurred prior to the fault of the child. Lost in thought hooliganism juveniles threw a bottle into a shield, its electric shock. When you begin to explain to them that his action could harm the people sitting in the car, they look very surprised, - says Svetlana Selkin. in society by bad example and show them to adults, some of which was late, after a departing train thrown bottle. Boarding can not drive for long in a suburban train: a police community support have on each train, next to Cheboksary. It is located in the train before arriving in Tsivilsk. on the amount of vacation from the trains are off, sometimes, children who are traveling separately, in order to find out whether they go far say. To clarify all the circumstances of children traveling inspectors PDN orders given to two hours. a year in maintenance of children in orphanages in the country is spending 1 billion rubles in Moscow, the monthly funding child deprived of parental care is 800 dollars, the newspaper said. On Rails start up private equity, writes Sovetskaya Chuvashia in the same name published. explains only publication in the Railway Congress held recently in Moscow, discussed the strategy for the development of this industry until 2030.. Program in perspective, as noted in his speech to Congress, ruler of Russia Vladimir Putin already podgotovlenhotya generally approved by the government. Although, of course, the problem of railway strategy so numerous and daunting, which is a detailed elaboration of them still early. Plans loom in general terms, thus giving food for thought, the author notes the publication. For example, inaccessible to the standards of today seem, and superfast trains. The maximum speed in the Russian railways until 180-200 km / hr. in society to implementation of the Strategy into practice rests with the knowledge lko and not so much in the state, but in private capital, the newspaper notes. in his speech, the governor of the Russian Railways Vladimir Yakunin, gave an alignment: more than 70% of financial resources will be obtained through private investment, with 43,1% of them with ; Railways going to earn himself and only about 19.5% will invest the state. The remaining 4-plus per cent will be asked to put the regions. in the near future, the shares Railways therefore assumed in the stock market. and state control over railway infrastructure must be preserved, said Yakunin. Judging from the podium before the performance, the private property quite welcome in passenger transport (by truck, he had already taken root) and construction of new lines. Answering a question korrespondenthotya buildings, Yakunin said that orders Railways has no right to give the existing railway line for general use, if it-show private buyer. If the goods are delivered to a branch 20, 30, 40 customers and an unknown little this node will then what desire declaration he did, he had enough of consumers to extract juice to get the maximum benefit - to explain yawl ruler Railways. - It is therefore the law in Russia provides for the impossibility of exclusion items backbone infrastructure, whether its branches, contact networks and the like. I think that private investors can own only those access roads which they built themselves. Meanwhile in Chuvashia almost continuously rails and sleepers oversees branch Railways - Gorky Railway, the newspaper said. The publication tells about brand new cars trains Chuvashia, does note the presence of this, sometimes conductors, for example, have no time to shine get out of the compartment. well this is the human factor is not in its best. but the situation could again celebrate a private business. It will create competition in passenger transport, and through it to improve services, said the newspaper. Here, of course, just a question of cost of services and universal access to trains. only assure policy makers, the price of services and fare quite indexed according to income growth of population and placed in a flexible schedule. but along with the development of transport biznevmeste klasshotya luxury we promise to maintain and cheaper travel options, the magazine writes. Chuvash farmers have sacrificed themselves for the United Russia, wrote Kommersant-Kazan. Chuvash regotdelenie Agrarian Party refused to participate in the election campaign - without a break, five candidates for the Duma deputies from the republic to their desire to exclude with the federal party list. only explained in regotdelenii, they found it impossible to meet Russian president Vladimir Putin tops the list United Russia to the Russian Federation. Local observers believe that the Chuvash farmers refused to fight for United Russia, the newspaper said. Chuvash farmers Vadim Nikolaev Vasiliy Abramov. Nikolai Yakimov Ildar Chemerov and Igor Efremov made up the regional group N92 of the federal list of candidates Russian State Duma, refused to participate in elections. According to them, the CEC of Russia last week expelled them from the list. Refuseniks have noted that emerged from the struggle, not agreeing with each other. According to the assistant agriculture minister of Chuvashia, head of the Chuvash farmers and activists regotdeleniya Sergey Rybkin Chuvash regotdelenie party and has not taken any formal decision, which enjoined the desire candidates with regotdeleniya farmers refuse to participate in elections. Each party to wait to take a personal decision - quoted Rybkin newspaper. According to him, in his statements without a break indicated as the reason for his refusal to participate in the election of moral and ethical reasons. He noted that agrarian society is not an opponent or an opponent of the course the president of Russia - on the contrary, it strongly supports it and all the parts, so some farmers have no need to enter any desire whatsoever, even a purely symbolic debate to this issue, Rybkin said. Only the newspaper said, observers from among the heads of the Chuvash regotdeleny politparty called the verdict Chuvash farmers profanation of the electoral process. Leader of the Chuvash regotdeleniya party Patriots of Russia. Vladislav Soldatov said that the Chuvash farmers have long ceased to exercise an independent policy in the republic, but act as an addition to the party United Russia . not counting the thinking Niya Soldatov, withdrawal from the election Chuvash farmers also explained by the fear of a shameful for the party results. Secretary of the Chuvash republican committee, Communist Party Dmitry Evseev noted that the Chuvash farmers have little in the second refused to pre-election campaign - the first little happened in the elections to the State Council of the Chuvash Republic in 2006. And in that, and in another case, they profane the election case and actually confessed that mimicked some political activity. Agrarians surrendered his voters, United Russia, - said Evseev, who believes that it remove the farmers from the race wore organized, the newspaper said.. Teacher crib does not help, writes Sovetskaya Chuvashia The newspaper notes that pupils will share the fate of this year, most of the teachers who give test in the category . After certification of teachers is now before the new rules. All teachers should be enough to pass pass to the development of computer technologies, and subject teachers - and USE before her high school science. At presvmeste conference before the first teachers USE clever Education Galina Chernova noted that this test - the duty step in implementing a comprehensive project to modernize the industry. In recent years, schools have done a lot in terms of material - she said. - Big money is invested in their technical equipment, new computers, modern classrooms. But if you are the link - the teacher - not quite match the time, with costs the desired effect will not be. It is therefore to assess the pedagogical work outlined an important transition from quantity to quality, with payments for service - to pay for the knowledge and results of operation. At this natselenhotya new way to pay for teachers, and new rules for certification. Incidentally, the latest innovation, according to all, teachers are not scared: According to the Draft willing to certify this year was a half times more than in the past. But, said the minister, now the price of the rose. A new way to pay, which went so far only 30 schools in two age is compulsory for all. but the presence of her difference in the category noticeably affect the wage. Already in the pilot schools, the presence of other equal conditions, a teacher with the highest category receives five thousand more colleagues from the first category. still desire to keep pace with some teachers are identical there. and with the leaders, as is known, and the desire to above, emphasizes the publication. Approval of CSE as a stage teacher certification, according to the Draft, was a dispute. Mentioned, in particular, and the psychological moment - otherwise simple for an adult to answer the test as a student. on the whole in the first Teachers CT all zhaluy to be going in life, as in ordinary school exams. Because their rent and the best students, and the guys that knowledge is not very strong. Similarly, without cause, and a CT, and certification in general, and a new way to pay to clearly identify leaders and laggards among teachers. And, hopefully, cause them to compensate for lost time, the newspaper said. At a regular meeting at City Hall to the operational staff on new housing shlopotal strogacha with the deputy mayor to city planning and urban redevelopment Alexey Cherkasov. about a dozen construction companies in whose areas of work are carried out only the presence of the light of day, write

In addition, as customers, attracted by this time, most of them often run beyond the end of sentences. Rare banks fall into absolute hibernation without giving absolutely no shares. So, what New Year bonus for opening a deposit usually only possible to count?Awards. Popular move - perform bet in gambling. Mixers and cameras the customer questioned zavlechesh therefore as bait banks use turputevku (usually only in Egypt and other warmer climes, much can be fed in winter), cars and other valuable prizes. often played out cash prizes or a solid increase in profitability of customer deposits. up to foreign banks by our, so far surpass - those of concentration put the whole house. Less of this bonus is obvious - the number of awards is severely limited.Gifts. it is doubtful whether some deliberately go to open the contribution of a set of chocolates or a bottle of champagne. as both are not talking, of course, any comparison with the interest as a gift. and though such actions are declared with an enviable consistency. And even symbolic gifts miserly banks does not necessarily give everyone who opens a deposit. And, for example, the one who put in deliberately by the property above a specified amount. Often, a surprise Santa Claus gets a client who was lucky to begin contributions on time - one hundredth, two hundredth, etc. in such cases, the course has to agree, of course, not champagne, but something more substantial. For example, digital cameras. but at th share is hard to call this a bait for the customer.Custom gift - a reduction in income of something expensive. For example, some banks have come up to fulfill customers for a fur coat. eat and status - should take this expensive thing on credit.Maps. spacious room for fantasies provide bank debit and credit cards.Species shares, which somehow involved plastic head and share a lot. Cards just give a gift, if a customer opens a deposit, sell for a discounted price (if we agree on the expensive gold cards), cancel a service charge (here we must remember: as soon as action is over, again, have to pay). More from the category of non-standard - a gift card with an individual design, charge card account in the lucky few thousand rubles per cent reduction in the presence of purchase for credit cards.Last of the above, by the way, really good cake: get into debt that is with a card always prefer more Russians. lets interest rates for plastic loans do not differ significantly across interest for the ordinary consumer, but there is a grace period. as soon as you return the money to the bank in the course of the date set by him, with you not take a penny above the borrowed money.As you can see, this important gift, which you can count on - its still additional interest (or rather, their share) for the deposit. Unfortunately, such advice still have to search.Help MKWhats the catch?I wish to seize the moment lies in wait for a nasty surprise. When a term deposit suit finally, the promised 11, 12 or 13% they do not get it. The actual amount is less than pretty. This stems from the provision of the Tax Code: If the yield for ruble deposits exceeds refinancing (10%), and for the exchange - 9% per annum, then the difference should be around to pay taxes in individual income for the 35% rate . For example, if I assume the bank one million rubles, about 13%, the after-tax get into the hands of just less than 12% per annum. for all that, theres a good chance, but for rosthotya nflyatsii Bank of Russia will raise the refinancing rate before the end of this year. And probably only 1% or even higher. then this tax will decrease appetite and increase the contribution can be quite earn more.If the bank and threw pomatrosil?If the bank has promised a gift, but it does not extradite him, it is a violation of the law on advertising, and the Civil Code. as the client is entitled to demand a gift. as soon as the bank pretty stubborn, there are two ways - to go to court or the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS), which oversees compliance with the law on advertising. on the other hand, whether it is necessary endeavor for the minor prizes? or as only the principle: if the investigation proved pretty much the bank does not bestow the promised gifts to systematically, it can be capable of even accused of unfair competition.Similar records:
