rural areas and indeed in our towns. there is tremendous demand for both parish council, both tran county councils for traffic calming in their villages. they want to see vehicles going slower through

a group of independent cities who're putting pressure on brussels to maintain funding in urban areas after the review of the structural funds in 1993. and, because of that pressure, the pressure that's already been put on, we got good news at . the european commissions director for regional policy said that he'd accepted the submission from euro cities that funding would be made available for urban areas. we need to make sure that that pressure stays on because urban areas, as we know with the city challenge bid and others, have got distinct and unique problems which we need to address. the euro cities conference was also important because it was the founding of that organisation formally and it was important to go there and say to the big monopoly that's emerging between some of the western european cities, the big six, birmingham, barcelona, frankfurt, rotterdam, milan and strasbourg, that they weren't gonna get it all their own way and they weren't going to monopolise those funds that were available for links with eastern europe. -i also went to prague, czechoslovakia, hardly sun sangria and sea, councillor but one thing i'll say about prague, and this is where all the

prague, and this is where all the arguments about brussels fall down, it's alright to go to brussels and not to prague. prague is a sleeping giant as a city in europe. prague will be the major city between western and eastern europe in the future. there's tremendous under-development in prague at the moment and that's gonna take off. we gave the paper on our links with estonia. -we also made

links with the region of in poland to develop tourist strategy and also links with a number of cities who were very interested in citizens' participation and are going local initiative. there are a number of reasons why we need to make sure that we are in at the starting post in terms of links with central and eastern europe. -because the european commission is making a number of funds available to develop those links, the overture fund, the knowhow fund funded by the foreign office, the fund, the enterprise fund, the fur fund, the tempest fund, all these are in the reportback which i'll

knowhow fund funded by the foreign office, the fund, the enterprise fund, the fur fund, the tempest fund, all these are in the reportback which i'll gratefully give to the press and also the opposition if they'll bother to read it. but i think there's something more important than funding that was realised at that conference between eastern and western local authorities and that is that we need to be there to assist because we can assist. one of the last speeches that the conference heard was a very emotional speech from a delegate from , russia, within a winds breath of chernobyl. he explained to the delegates there the mountain they have to climb before they even reach the status that we have in britain as local authorities. ten thousand people left the city last year and emigration is on the up. -the tremendous problems that they have need addressing and we should be there, not because we can reap the benefits necessarily in funding, although of course that would

suspicious minds and when things are kept hidden from them they tend to want to know why. they tend to ask questions in t in an attempt to find out what is going on. leaving the visits to brussels aside, for i assume that these were entirely legitimate, what do we find when we start to unravel the mysterious secrecy surrounding the civic junkets to far off lands? we find three trips, all of a rather dubious nature, to attend what are officially described as conferences on european co-operation. one to prague in czechoslovakia, a second to florence in italy and a third to olympus in greece, all at a total cost of five thousand to local tax payers. -but why, and the people of this district have a legitimate right to ask, why did it take three people to represent in czechoslovakia? +but

result of the degrees of freedom er adjustment okay with er squared distribution yes, sort of different distribution but we interpret the tables in exactly the same way so if you just have a look on your screen erm, there's an l m version of the serial correlation test, right, and that has a squared distribution one right and the test statistic we obtain on your screens is calculated in two point eight eight, no two point zero eight. alright, is that significantly different from zero or you could go to a pie squared tables, look at the degrees of freedom, which is one, right. -at the five percent level the critical value cup of squared is three point eight. +at the five percent level the critical value cup of squared is three point eight. right, so if we had a test statistic greater than three point eight it would reject our null hypothesis. right, in this particular case it is of no serial correlation is our null hypothesis. -right so again large test statistics whether they're ts fs or kie squares. -larger dis large test statistics mean rejection of the goal right erm there's no simple rule of thumb with kie squared you just have to look at the erm actual tables to find out what the critical values are. -however, latest th er microfit not only gives you the test statistic but gives you erm the significance level, probability value er which erm that test statistic is significantly different from zero right so if we are looking at that serial correlation test statistic of two point zero eight right we would accept the null hypothesis of er no serial correlation, right, or wouldn't be able to reject it strictly. +right so again large test statistics whether they're ts fs or kie squares. +larger dis large test statistics mean rejection of the goal right erm

serial correlation, right, until we reach fifteen percent significance level. so if our, if you wanted to be eighty five percent confident about our inferences, right, we would reject that null hypotheses of no serial correlation, right, if we wanted to be ninety five percent confident about our inferences we would accept the null point of no serial correlation in tha in that case. okay erm,if we just turn over the sheet look at distribution of er of the f statistic. in the f test we have two measures of the degrees of freedom, right, you need to have the degrees of freedom in the numerator n one and in denominator n two. -right, the degrees of freedom in the numerator just denote the number of restrictions that you are actually making the test. -right so if you look at erm the chow test at the bottom of your screens, right the f test, right is an f three in seventeen test. -three in the numerator denotes that we are making three restrictions to be restricting our parameters of three parameters in this particular model, constant, coefficient on, log of prices and log of you are restricting those er at a zero when we estimate over the entire, over the ent the entire sample okay and yeah -do you have to say an n two would you round up or round down to be sure? +right, the degrees of freedom in the numerator just denote the number of restrictions that you are actually

nought five, sorry, four point nought five, right, so you just average the difference there. -right so if we're erm want to compare an f statistic to see whether it's significant, right, you just go if it's a f three seventeen -as in this case we go down the three column, the three is a in the numerator n one, right, till we reach seventeen, right, and now test to see if it's three point two

change because we've got a test statistic of twenty two, right, far away, different from three point two our critical value. -when you are actually sort of writing er, say if you are, when you are doing your project or doing your work it's not just sufficient to say always t ratio is greater than two, therefore, it's statistically significant, you must calculate the er correct critical value you use, right, for th for each t ratio and also if you are looking at any diagnostics or looking at the significance of the regression which is an f statistic right you must give the five percent or ten percent whichever you choose. +when you are actually sort of writing er, say if you are, when you are doing your project or doing your work it's not just sufficient to say always t ratio is

critical values that you are using to compare with the regressionally significant whether you have serial correlation or not erm so they're very very important and they ought to be included erm because otherwise we don't know whether a test statistic is er statistically significant or not. -right okay so when you're performing test for structural change, right, if you just erm go through the simple estimation routine as we've done the way you think. +right okay so when you're performing test for structural change, right, if you just erm go through the simple estimation routine as we've done the way you think. if you don't know a priori where the break will come, right, only we can get some, you can get a handle where the break in this series may come by looking at the rolling regression like you did last week. that will give you er a good idea as to where the break comes. -if you are not too bothered erm, if you don't know a priori where the break comes, you can just split the sample size in half and just estimate erm an equation for each, not less, you won't but the computer will, if you just specify half the sample size, right, and when it asks for the number of observations failure or chow tests you just press the return key and it will use all the remaining observations, right, but when you are doing the empirical work you should always test for structural stability, right, and er either of chow's tests will, will suffice, right, but if you've got a very small stock sample where there are fewer observations than there are parameters to be estimated you will have to use chow's second test failure. +if you are not too bothered erm, if you don't know a priori where the break comes, you can just split the sample size in half and just estimate erm an

it does have lower, lower power than his first test, right, but if you can't calculate his first test then it's the best thing to use. -right, okay, erm let's now move on to er these other diagnostics, right, like test for structural change these diagnostic test statistics that are calculated for right, because essentially what they're doing is that they're testing the assumptions on which ordinary leased squares is based. -now if you violate any of the assumptions ordinary squares, right, then the procedure will produce or may produce misleading results, we can only be confident in statistical terms about ordinary leased squares parameters, right, because we know and show in theory that they hold providing a number of assumptions are met, like you have serially uncorrelated errors, right, we don't have m multi co-linearity amongst the regresses, right, we have constant variance throughout the sample now if any of those er assumptions are breached, violated then our, any statistical results that are generated from erm the technique that assumes that those assumptions haven't been breached erm are invalidated and we can get very misleading er parameter estimates, right, in the presence of auto correlation or multi-linearity erm . -right, microfit holds this in this regard and every regression that you estimate will always have a table of diagnostic test statistics after it, right, so although we are interested in the parameter values of our estira estimated right, in order to have any confidence in those parameter values you must ensure that we haven't violated any of the assumptions -in which is based, right. +right, okay, erm let's now move on to er these other diagnostics, right, like test for structural change these diagnostic test

you've got tests for serial correlation, functional form, normality of the residuals, right, and hetero skilasticity right if you reduce the sample size at the beginning of the estimation period you will also get chow tests in there as well. -we can use the whole sample but just get those four erm four test statistics okay. -now if we just look at the er test statistics for this particular model, right, if we chose say the five percent significance level right, then we can see serial correlation, we've got a test statistic of two point zero eight, right, we wouldn't reject the null hypothesis there, the null is that we have no serial correlation, we have uncorrelated errors right, clearly we want uncorrelated errors, right, so we'd be quite happy with that particular test statistic, it doesn't exceed the er five percent critical value. +we can use the whole sample but just get those four erm four test statistics okay. +now if we just look at the er test statistics for this

test statistic, it doesn't exceed the er five percent critical value. so it doesn't look like this model exhibits serial correlation. -second test for functional form and there should read, you know we've logged our data here logging implies there's a multi picketed relationship between the variable expressed in absolute value, is that the case or is there a linear relationship or some other type of relationship there? -so funct the functional form test will see erm will tell us whether we ought to possibly log the data or whether we ought to unlog the data and just do a regression in er er in absolute levels as opposed to logs. -right so the functional form test, if we look at the kie squared version, right, again we've got a very small er test statistic implying there's no breach of functional form right, the, the log er specification, right, seems to be working okay, there's no problems with it erm if we now look at normality we've got a bit of a problem with normality, right in that our test statistic is now four point nine, if we look at the critical value at the five percent level of kie when kie squared two, ah it's not too bad, our five percent critical value of the kie squared two is five point nine nine, so although that test statistic is reasonably high, i mean you'd probably reject, oh yes, we can reject the null at ten percent of normally distributed errors we wouldn't reject the null at five percent erm let's just have a look at in actual fact at those errors to see what the problem is. -so if you erm press the return key er go into option three right and what we'll do is we'll, we'll plot erm plot the histogram of the residuals because what this test for normality is doing is seeing whether the residuals we get from our regression are normally distributed, right o and s assumes that they will be. -now, the reason why we're getting a fairly high test statistic is that er, that distribution, although it looks normal on the left hand side, it doesn't look particularly normal erm on the right and that we are missing some observations, we are missing some values of the residuals er in one area of the graph, nevertheless if we had a larger sample, right we probably erm, right it doesn't look, that looks quite encouraging in actual fact, those residuals do seem to be er normally distributed er what the test statistic is doing er it's saying it's performing a, it's a kiescraper two test, it's making two restrictions, one of which is saying, is the distribution of these residuals symmetric er and also it's testing whether there's one of the tails is a lot larger or a lot longer than the other tail of the distribution and er test statistics fairly high but we wouldn't reject the null of normality at the five percent level so our test statistic is four point zero eight and the critical value is five point nine nine and that the five percent significance level, so we've got reasonably er robust residuals. -right, if you just want to come out of there and we'll just have a look at the plot of the residuals, if you plot the residuals the test for serial correlation there well the test for serial correlation, right, and try and determine whether there's a auto regressive structure to those parameters and i think steve was talking to you about er auto regressions, so what the computer is doing essentially, it is getting the residuals from the model raised and it's regressing them right on the residuals in the previous period, right, and it's testing whether this parameter row, right, is significantly different from zero right, now if this is, if row is significantly different from zero, let's say it's nought point six, that implies the residuals in t are not independent of the residuals in t minus one. -right there's some correlation between the two, right, auto violation the residuals right, so where we don't have residual auto correlation which is the case here, you could actually save the residuals, perform an error less and you wouldn't find coefficient on residuals with t minus one significant, you've got an, potentially that's what these tests for serial correlation do, right, they, you can think of them as r saving the residuals, running a, running this regression, right. -where we this is first order correlation, you may want to specify erm, some second order serial correlation in which case you'd be seeing whether the residuals in t were related to the residuals in t minus one. +second test for functional form and there should read, you know we've logged our data here

residuals in t were related to the residuals in t minus one. well if we specified our model correctly, right, then these residuals should be just one noise, they should just be, appear with random fluctuations with mean zero. right, and if you look at those, they look pretty er pretty uncorrelated . clearly there's no systematic structure in those residuals, right, if the residuals were moving in a cyclical manner erm that would imply that we are missing an important explanatory variable in our model and its systematic effect has been just thrown into the error term and as a result we are picking up that systematic effect in, in residuals. -okay press the er escape key and go back to the regression results, erm so return to the post regression menu and then display regression results,regressult results again. -case of the diagnostic tests this model looks reasonably okay, we haven't got erm significant serial correlation, we haven't breached form, we have reasonably normally distributed residuals, right, test for hetero skilasticity that just a test to see whether the residuals are growing over time, right,hetero skilasticity is where we have non constant, non constant variance of our, of our error term right, and very often you, you find that the variance through the residuals, something like that the residuals will look like that, i think, they're growing systematically over time, right, these are homo skilastic right, and these are hetero skilastic right, residuals and again we wouldn't want to have a model of hetero skilastic residuals, right, simply because that violates one of the assumptions on which the blue properties are based. -hetero skilasticity means to erm erm we don't have biased estimates for our parameters, we have estimates that don't have minimum variables and they won't be the most efficient estimates. -got a very low test statistic either in terms of kie or f right so we haven't reached but the model is still a poor model because we don't have erm er stable parameters, right, so you would actually reject this model as it stands, alright, because it didn't pass the diagnostic test statistics but there is no point generating parameters w if they, if they are not constant and you're gonna say elastic demand is one point four six or really it it's ranged between minus three plus, plus six over the sample, so you put estimate means so it must have constant parameters. +okay press the er escape key and go back to the regression results, erm so return to the post regression menu and then display regression

thing would be to do was just to incorporate a dummy variable, right, if you incorporated a dummy variable to a erm and to explain the and to take out the effect of structural change, right, er in that dummy inclusive model, right, all the diagnostic test statistics were okay, right, you would use, you would, therefore, use that, that particular model what we might do is just see if that is the case erm so if you come out of er diagnostics, work towards the data processing environment and generate a dummy variable right, so if you go into the erm data processing environment if it's in the er sort of process plot option what we'll do create a dummy variable call it d and let d pull zero press the return key and then edit d oh and if you just set erm observations for +this is a structural

set erm observations for nineteen thirty nine through to nineteen er forty five or whatever the end of the sample is to one, set them all to one -is forty. -well thirty nine or forty all do it to thirty nine just to keep, so all have the same results. -i mean where we could dummy into the war here so the war starts in thirty nine so unless you've got good reason to believe that consumption wasn't affected until nineteen forty, we use a dummy for the whole war period once you've edited, once you've edited the variable you press the end key that saves the edit. -all i do now is regress our model right, including just a, a cons a constant dummy, right, so if you specify your regression equation, just add d to the list of explanatory variables, right, so we are assuming that the effect on the textile consumption is simply just to move the demand function up, right, use the entire sample period amongst this estimation. -you know that the parameters were non constant but hopefully they will be now constant, now that we've er included the dummy variable okay er so if you go to the diagnostic menu +is forty. +well thirty nine or forty all do it to thirty nine just to

version of the test, right, er our f statistic of three point seven six is significantly different from zero, right, that leaves seven percent level, so a five percent test we probably accept that we didn't have any serial correlations and we just got there by the skin of our teeth on that particular test erm yes, you could probably get away with this one, functional forms fine, no problem there,hetero skilasticity right, are f statistic three point nine but significantly different from zero that's six percent level, right, so again we just scrape it if we were looking at the ninety

there. so this model would be er, you can say it's reasonably robust, bear in mind though that those test statistics on serial correlation and er hetero skilasticity are very close to the critical value used. -had you chosen the ten percent significance level as your cut off point erm you would infer there is both serial correlation and hetero skilasticity in, in the model. -right, so, you know, there's no econo-matrixes by no means the science and you can essentially get the computer to er tell the story that you want simply by choosing er critical values but nevertheless we've re probably be reasonably confident in our estimate, particularly if those estimates, we'll just go back to them, er the er display the regression results again,display them again but those coefficients

for textiles is price inelastic. right, and we may, we may expect that to be the case, you know, clothes don't have, textiles don't have many substitutes. as a result erm changes in demand are gonna be er fairly unresponsive to changes in price because you've got to use textiles in order to make clothes and everything else that you make textiles with. -right, okay i think that's probably er about

that land again, we would have to seek a high court action, possibly the house of lords as well, and that total cost would be in the region of a quarter of a million pounds in legal costs, and we also then stood the, well risk of losing the case as well, so we could have spent two hundred and fifty thousand pounds for nothing. the council agreed to buy the station for — it's about three hundred and twenty five thousand, but i want to make this point, that it isn't their intention to close the boat station. -it's their intention to leave the boat station there, but as a boat hiring station only,

in fact, be talking about different things and wouldn't disagree if they were talking about the same thing, but it's important to recognise that when the university and colleges talk about what they want to do about sexual harassment, they certainly imagine that a range of different forms of response are going to be appropriate to this range of different forms of behaviour, ranging from on the one hand education, encouraging people to think they have a right to protest and answer back, to giving them access to erm people who may mediate and persuade another person who they're not making an impact on that their behaviour is unreasonable, to the most extreme disciplinary procedures against someone who's behaving in a way which is generally thought to be unacceptable and who's not prepared to desist. perhaps the other point i can make is to go back to the question of why women tutors and people in the university generally have emphasised harassment of students by academic staff more than they've emphasised harassment by students of one another, and i think it's not that it was thought that students didn't commonly make each other uncomfortable, but as an issue of principle in terms of whether it's appropriate for university or college authorities to intervene in what many people regard as students' private lives. it's quite commonly said that twenty years ago the universities and colleges decided to treat students as adults and leave them to organise their own affairs erm and the argument about what to do in this area isn't an argument about whether it's a serious problem, but about what are appropriate and even effective forms of intervention. -i think i think the only thing that i would disagree with there is that i strongly suspect that a lot of

something, if we can get you to think that, you know, well am i dozing or am i really awake as i should be, then we'll achieve more, in verse eleven it speaks there about er, you people knowing the season, well what people are we talking about? +most of the scriptures we'll be looking at today is very familiar with us we know them and some of them we may be able to recite without even looking at the words, but er, if we can try and get you to think a little bit about them, then we've achieved something, if we can get you to think that, you know, well am i dozing or am i really awake as i should be, then we'll achieve more, in verse eleven it speaks there about er, you people knowing the season, well what people are we talking about? us isn't it? -it's within the congregation, paulo was writing, not to those outside but to those dedicated baptized brothers and sisters in the trees, said you know the season that it is already the hour for you to awake so he was speaking to spiritual people, spiritually minded people and yet here he is telling them to be awake, awake from sleep or slumbers, for now our salvation is nearer than at the time when we became the leavers, and that's true with us all if you came into the truth yesterday, the time that much nearer now isn't it? -because you can never go back to yesterday, if you came in last year or five years ago, ten years ago or longer, some of you have been in the truth for many, many years and it is nearer now than it ever was when you first came along and joined jehovah's people and as it says the night is well along and if any of us have ever worked on the night shift, i think we're all well aware aren't we that when the night is well along and -you're coming near to the end of your shift you're not waking up because it's getting near morning whereas everybody else is, you're finding it much more difficult to carry on because you've gone through the whole night working, the night is well along and it becomes increasingly more difficult to stay awake so physically, spiritually, whatever way you look at it, it is certainly very difficult to stay awake in the truth today, but it isn't that difficult and it isn't er a hurdle that none of us can overcome, jehovah says that his load is light, jesus echoed that didn't he and it is true that if we do jehovah's will, jehovah's way, then it will be made light for us, he will help us to stay awake, but he's not going to allow us to slumber and drift off into obscurity, but it all comes back in hinges upon us and that's why the counsel is in verse thirteen as a day, as in a day time look, let us walk decently so we have to do something don't we? +it's within the congregation, paulo was writing, not to those outside but to those dedicated

walk decently so we have to do something don't we? walking means exercise, walking means effort, you and i have to do something to keep ourselves spiritually awake, going back to our illustration again about the car driver on the motorway, you find yourself after so many miles just dozing off because the road is so straight, not much traffic around, not much to think about apart from the countryside that goes by and you're there foot on the accelerator, no braking, no gear changing, nothing at all and you get to the point where you're driving one-handed by the thing, that's the time when you get so relaxed isn't it? -that you can easily lose your concentration and go off to sleep and so it is in the truth, so we need to stay awake, stand firm for almighty, be vigilant and again in the scriptures we could look up half a dozen scriptures in the christian greek scriptures to show that we need to keep spiritually awake and it uses different terminology you've heard me use some already, remember the one in verse peter four, verse seven? +that you can easily lose your concentration and go off to sleep and so it is in the truth, so we need to stay awake, stand firm for almighty, be vigilant and again in the scriptures we could look up half a dozen scriptures in the christian greek scriptures to show that we need to keep spiritually awake and it uses different terminology you've heard me use some already, remember the one in verse peter four, verse seven? it tells us there to be vigilant, vigilant with a view to prayers, isn't that staying awake? anyone who's vigilant knows what's going on and they're aware of what's happening, so again it, it shows that we must do something as they said on that motorway, the thing to do when you feel yourself going into drow drowsiness is, is stop the car perhaps, get out and have a walk round, do something, i know i, er in the past when i've felt myself going off to sleep in those situations, i've been pinching myself and, and really making yourself do something rather than just sitting there doing nothing, cos that's the way we just go off and get lowered into sleep and our lives are involved in this, we've read and heard about people that have gone to sleep on motorways haven't they? where have they finished up? -crashing the car, taking someone else's life with them, terrible situations, terrible tragedies can come about because a person physically goes to sleep so it can be in a spiritual sense that we can nod off to sleep and not only our lives are involved, but our fellow brothers' and sisters' too, -especially if we have a, a responsible position within the congregation, because if we nod off, those of us who are elders, than others lives can be terrifically involved can't they? +crashing the car, taking someone else's life with them, terrible situations, terrible tragedies can come about because a person physically goes to sleep so it can be in a spiritual sense that we can nod off to sleep and not only our lives are involved, but our fellow brothers' and sisters' too, +especially if we have a, a responsible position within the congregation, because if we nod off, those of us who are elders, than others lives can be terrifically involved can't they? because we are not doing what we should be doing, we'll hear a little bit more about that later, another one in matthew twenty six and verse forty one, keep on the watch and pray continually, notice our new year's text is all about prayer isn't it? rejoice in the hope i had, that's lovely isn't it? thinking about the, the, the hope ahead but what have we got to do? we've got to persevere in prayer, which means effort doesn't it? -so in everything that we do and staying spiritually awake, we have to do something, it all comes back to you and i at the end of the day, no one else can do it for us we sometimes think well, well, so and so can help, i mean this is true to a degree, but at the end of the day it all comes back to us doesn't it? -we're the ones that have said to jehovah i am dedicating my life to you, i am going to do this, do that and the other and it's up to us as to whether we do it, so it requires effort, first , five, six, also says let us stay awake, keep our senses first peter, five, eight keep your senses, be watchful and then first corinthians, ten, twelve which i think the song was based on let him think that he is standing, beware, beware, beware that he does not fall , if you think things are going along nicely and you're in a comfortable little corner, a little niche in the truth, and it's just how you like it, and it's just the way you want it to be and there's the time we need to be aware because there's an opening for satan to get into to make us fall. -now going back into the hebrew scriptures, you'll find there that this sort of staying awake counsel, an idea was there long before the days of jesus and the apostles and people's lives were involved in its state, even in those days, let's just let us have a look at one, isaiah forty two eighteen to twenty now this terms it slightly different, but when you look at it and analyze it, you realize he's talking about exactly the same thing, it's regarding the nation of israel who turned away from jehovah, they weren't doing what they should be doing, or should've been doing as he's pleading with them look there, that look here, here you deaf ones, well we know the nation of israel weren't all physically deaf, they were like we are, perhaps had a few deaf individuals amongst them, but -generally speaking the nation had good ears, they knew what was what and they listened quite well, hear you deaf ones he's describing them and look forth to see you blind once verse twenty it was a case of seeing many things, but you did not cheat watching and daniel, verse twenty five, look it says there a little phrase near, half way through that he took no note, the nation took no note of what was happening at that time, but we know what happened to them, many of them, thousands, a million of them lost their lives didn't they? -because they were overthrown and the others were taken off into captivity into battle life, and what a life they had, the one of slavery, so at that time because they took no note, because they were destiny instructions to jehovah for his word and again want to see, they had eyes, but they just didn't want to see it they knew, all the whys and wherefores and what the responsibilities were, but they didn't measure up to them and because of that many of them lost their lives, and if they didn't they were taken into captivity, jeremiah four, in verse twenty two, again another prophecy sent to them exactly over the same message, the same reasons describes to them as being a, er people that is foolish and of me they have taken no notice jeremiah four and verse twenty two. +so in everything that we do and staying spiritually awake, we have to do something, it all comes back to you and i at the end of the day, no one else can do it for us we sometimes think well, well, so and so can help, i mean this is true to a degree, but at the end of the day it all comes back to us doesn't it? +we're the ones that have said to jehovah i am dedicating my life to you, i am going to do this, do that and the other and it's up to us as to whether we do it, so it requires effort, first , five, six, also says let us stay awake, keep our senses first peter, five, eight keep your senses, be watchful and then first corinthians, ten, twelve which i think the

to them as being a, er people that is foolish and of me they have taken no notice jeremiah four and verse twenty two. in noah's day, if you go back to noah's day it was exactly the same now, isn't that what jesus said justice in the days of noah, so it will be in there somewhere, they were eating and drinking and marrying and doing all the things that you, you know, you and i do today isn't it? and what is it, they took no note and the flood came and swept them all away. so it's been no different dying through time, the counsel has been there because jehovah knows that we're all of falling flesh aren't we? -we're all prone to do that, were all prone to take the line of least resistance and you find this not just in the truth but in any sort of community in life, in any area of life that wish to go, you, you may find this at work or at school, you youngsters, there's always a little johnny at the back isn't it, that, that will fit in the back row and think if i'm back here teacher won't notice you see, were act were actually tuck himself up in the corner and er think well if i'm, if i'm up here nobody will notice me and see the day goes by and er we don't have so much to do, those are the type of people that in, in, in a physical life er sort of going to sleep aren't they, they don't want to accept responsibility and we, we find even in the truth, you'll always find it in congregations like we have here in our congregation, we're not different, we're all the same aren't we, we're all flesh and we're all imperfect and we're all prone to doing or wanting to do the things that are different or you know than, than what jehovah wants us to do and we all want to tuck ourselves up a little corner sometimes and yet we shouldn't be like that and this is what the scriptures tell us and warn us about to put ourselves headlong into the truth, be whole sole, be awake, be alert, be vigilant to the things that are going on and there's a lot going on in the truth at this particular time, things are changing, the scriptures tell us that the scene of the world is changing and that's true isn't it? +we're all prone to do that, were all prone to take the line of least

world is changing and that's true isn't it? it changes so fast and here's we have a job to keep up with it. -did you know jehovah's organizations always changes, not with it, but to combat it that way it comes to work, it keeps us alive, it keeps us on our toes, and so we could go on and on in saying well look keep away, stay awake and do everything that we should and, and we can stand here for the rest of the talk saying well do it, do it, do it but that's easy for me to do that isn't it? -to tell you what to do but it's also knowing how to do it, because sometimes especially if we knew in the truth, we don't always know what to do and if we're very young you see, we're, it's, it's one +did you know jehovah's organizations always changes, not with it, but to combat it that way it comes to

talk saying well do it, do it, do it but that's easy for me to do that isn't it? +to tell you what to do but it's also knowing how to do it, because sometimes especially if we knew in the truth, we don't always know what to do and if we're very young you see, we're, it's, it's one thing being told isn't it? -but another thing to be shown how to do it and that's what, really what we want to try and do for the rest of the talk is to not just keep preaching at you and telling you what to do, but to show you how, so that's the purpose of the talk from now on, now in this outline there are, i've got about fourteen different points here and it'll highlight ways in which we can er stay awake, what i'm going to do is to read straight through them and then we'll go back and pick a couple out, because it's impossible to concentrate on the entire er amount, so we'll do that, it's er a number of things we can do to keep virtually awake keep up with the food at the proper time from jehovah's organizations that's studying and things like that isn't it? -they come up to meetings which erm, this goes on to say determine not to miss a single spiritual meal both private study, meeting attendance are urgent for all, there's nothing new here brothers it's all things that we've heard before and this is why sometimes we can sort of nod off because we, we sort of think well i've heard all this before,follow theocratic ways, procedures and policies not always easy to do, but it can be done,recognizing the organization that jehovah is using keep awake by finding your place in god's arrangement that isn't that little corner up there, by the way, we're not talking about that one, but finding our place where we can work for jehovah wholeheartedly do not quibble about assignments and arrangements i think we're all guilty of that at some time aren't we? -perform well whatever assignments you have, trust god's angels to remove and replace where necessary when things aren't being done in a congregation as you think that they might be or should be done, or you might think well the, why don't the elders do something about this, we'll leave it, leave it to jehovah and the angels, if there's anything wrong, they'll sort it out and they'll make the elves sort it out as well, they have ways and means, again coming back to this new text here persistence in prayer shows you are awake the spirituals so there's another way jesus was outstanding in its constantly regarding prayers keep awake by field ministry and here's a rare one in any public talk financial contributions financial, we don't hear that very often in public talks, we, we always say that there's, er people come to the meetings, there's no collection, no mention of money, the seats are free, you're -free to come and go and er there is a contribution that's held at the back, but here in, in the talk it's highlighting their various ways, this is one of them that we can keep spiritually awake is by being aware of the need for financial contributions, jehovah has done much for us through his organization and we can show love for him by full support with our time and finances and then another one look stay awake by showing love to you and act loyal sometimes it's easier to show love to some in the congregation than others, we naturally have an affinity for one another and certain types of personalities seemed to gel with others don't they? -and it's easier to get along with brother so and so and sister so and so, but for goodness me i find, i find it ever so difficult to talk to sister so and so and there's an area perhaps that we can er think about,stay awake by being respectful and obedient and that's something that is very important because it's completely opposite in the world today, respect for all authority and obedience to it is absolutely gone by the ways i find refrain from criticism and careless talk so there are the main points, but as we say we can't go into them all, well, so what we're going to do is to try and just highlight one or two little areas which we could er enlarge on or put the magnifying glass on, so shall we do that? -we mentioned about determining not to miss a single spiritual meal, matthew chapter five and verse three well known to us all i think it's in those -as some people call them sermon on the -chapter five of matthew,happier those conscious of the spiritual needs since the kingdom of the heavens belongs to them and we're encouraged to do that aren't we? +but another thing to be shown how to do it and

our spiritual need? -well if you have the footnote bible like i've got here, you look down the bottom and speaks about those who are beggars, beggars for the spirit and just at the bottom of our road where we live er there's a little area there which quite busy and er there's a man who parades up and down there daily, he's there nonstop every day of the week, you can go by there any time, any day and he's there begging and he has no shame at all, and if you refuse him once he'll catch you another day and he'll ask you again, and you'll see him there backwards and forwards and he'll even when the traffic lights turn red +well if you have the footnote bible like i've got here, you look down the bottom and speaks about those who are beggars, beggars for the spirit and just at the bottom of

need it to help me to get to hanley or something like that and, and he does this all the time, and i look at him and i think well you know fancy being like that, surely we're in a welfare state, there's no need for that, i don't know what his circumstances are, he may be homeless, i don't know where he comes from and he just appears there and he carries on as if he loves the job, and that's only in this country, but if you go abroad, many of you have been abroad haven't you? and they go even further than that don't they? people do all sorts to their bodies don't they? -to, to make people feel sorry for them and they have no shame at all in breaking limbs and distorting their features and all so that kind to make themselves look as pitiful as they possible can because they're going to live a life of a beggar and they tell us it's very profitable being a beggar in some lands, people can make in this country they reckon up to in places like london a hundred pounds a day being a beggar that's more than you earn a day isn't it? -most of you simply because they have no shame, now bringing it round to a spiritual thing, how can we show that we, where it describes there beggars for the spirit, it really means having no shame whatsoever in the truth, never hold back in demanding really, what your requirements are in the way of spiritual things and a good mirror to this is analyze yourself and ask yourself what am i like, am i really a beggar in spirit, what am i like when the magazines come? +to, to make people feel sorry for them and they have no shame at all in

tuesday or a thursday, whenever they meet, he, he says that we have new magazines tonight brothers and he may hold them up and said you know, that they're this and that and lovely, beautiful magazines jehovah doing so well now through his organization and he's presenting us with, with erm marvellous erm appealing literature, he holds them up and says we're, we're, we're able to get your magazines tonight and er we would like you to get them straight out at me, and they're still there two or three weeks later, your magazines, this is a way we can stay spiritually awake, is by going and getting them straight away, not for the benefit of the brothers, poor old brother who is on the job and he's wondering why, are they gonna come and fetch my magazines or not, but because we need to devour that spiritual feeling, we need to keep up to date with everything that jehovah's providing us with. -really if we, if we're not on top of these things, then what we're saying is that jehovah is like saying to a high squad who lays out a beautiful meal for us and saying well there you are, it's yours for the taking and you saying well i don't feel like that today i'll just have some chips down the road. +really if we, if we're not on top of these things, then what we're saying is that jehovah is like saying to a high squad who lays out a beautiful meal for us and saying well there you are, it's yours for the taking and you saying well i don't feel like that today i'll just have some chips down the road. these are little signs and areas that show up as to whether or not we're really conscious of our spiritual need, alright you go and get them, you say alright i'll go and get them, as soon as they come on there, the first one there, but what do you do with them when you get them home? do they go in a cupboard somewhere and stay there until the day comes when you're in the ministry and you think oh those new magazines i'd better get them, because we're going to that's no good at all, we need to read them and digest them and know what's in them, simply to show not only that we're conscious of our spiritual need, but to encourage others to become conscious of their spiritual needs, so can you see what we said earlier about our lives being involved in other people's too? not just elders and brothers in the congregation is it? -it's us and people out there, there is still people out there sighing and crying and groaning under the detestable things that are going on in this world, i've no doubt you've met many, but, when they say i don't know what the world's coming to, well

you notice that? mm some of you are nodding, if you're thinking what is he talking about, what does he mean, then i'd advise you to go and have a look, because you might be dozing off spiritually if you're not aware of what's happening in kingdom ministry at this moment in time. -we also mentioned don't quibble about assignments and arrangements, now in romans chapter twelve, which this text is

the middle, going like that, where the grass is growing and has not been cut back since nineteen seventy four. er, now the county really ought to look at this problem of grass growing over the pavement but the cou borough council are using the shields that are not capable of cutting grass edges, grass verges. th you drive along a massive machine, probably doing more damage getting up and down the kerbs a and everything else. they are going along at vast speeds, and i say vast speeds, they're twenty miles an hour over the grass and you can imagine how much they're cutting. the also the

about financial arrangements and advise about them. -secondly it is the solicitors must advise about clause twenty two and thirdly well that's about it really, isn't it . +analysing your opening to me

defendants that it would have been improper to advise him to serve completion notice when he wasn't in a position to complete and the solicitor deals with the the expert deals also with that position as to what is the practice of a solicitor in that situation if there's a potential er problem for that particular solicitor to what the advice should be as to how the client should deal with the that. -well that depends on the terminology of the of the rule doesn't it. +well that depends on the terminology of the of the rule doesn't it. does that require expert advice? -well i think that the way

it deals with is the availability to a purchaser of the service of the special notice to complete er if the vendors are not completing and then if don't comply with it within a certain time limit, the contract is rescinded. -now of course that, it is the defendant's case i anticipate, erm is er, although there's nothing specific in the rule about it, is said to be er only a possibility for a

runs out . -well i i think its, the way that the plaintiff puts the case on that point my lord is that even if the defendant mr took the view er that it would not have been proper for such a notice to be served, in view of what the plaintiff was saying to him about his wish to get out of the contract, the fact that it was available to him should have been brought to his attention and then as mr was saying that i sorry i don't feel i can do this on your behalf because it's not proper in the circumstances or whatever erm, should then have gone on to advise the plaintiff either to do it himself or to go and seek independent advice. +well i i think its, the way that the plaintiff puts the case on that point my lord is that even if the defendant mr took the view er that it would not have been

issues, the factual issues of the matters at issue. -but my lord what erm i +but my lord what erm i er, a notice to complete is a, is a notice to complete and not a notice to withdraw. certainly, certainly i i accept that. -but i i don't erm from the nature of mr justice in the midland bank that there's a a well known but w what i say is that in this case er what your lordship will be dealing

duty or they're not. -well if that were so my lord then there would never be any any solicitor's negligence claims, in which any expert was ever called to give evidence because it's always going to be eventually a matter of law as to what the defendant's duty is but what the er what the plaintiff had not said at any stage is that a matter of law is ever going to be admissible and in fact the is

-er, he may be concerned but my lord erm, there has been reference to the er the professional negligence and and my lord there is a bit i have in court, i'm afraid the second edition because the third

in the midland bank. erm the editors say that, and i rely upon this because it's important in my submission, that it is submitted that a wider view might be taken as the function of a solicitor as expert witnesses. while of course the extent of the solicitor's duty is ultimately a question for the court, surely this is a mixed question of fact and law. even if there is no directly relevant practice of the profession, the evidence of other practitioners as to what they do in similar cases and why, is likely to be of benefit to the court. -a knowledge of the working of a solicitor's

that later, the point i'm making here is that er khrushchev claimed that the missiles were there in the event of an american assault on cuba, they were a deterrent weapon in exactly the same way as the defensive deterrent weapons er were d were defensive er for er the united states and for the soviet union. -and the context in which this was er argued er was er the bay of pigs invasion of cuba, a c i a american supported invasion, er which er failed very badly but which certainly indicated the american desire to get rid of castro and er khrushchev was asserting in effect that he had as much right to defend an ally as the united states had er to defend erm its allies and in the same sort of way. -now kennedy had a dilemma although cuba was in the caribbean, and although the united states had the biggest navy in the world, and the biggest airforce and was easily able to exterminate cuba if it wa if it wished to, it was vulnerable, however, in other areas, in particular it was vulnerable in berlin and it was vulnerable in indo-china. +and the context in which this was er argued er was er the bay of pigs invasion of cuba, a c i a american supported invasion, er which er

government which had communist members, erm kennedy wanted to intervene in laos but again was restrained by his british ally, macmillan wouldn't in fact accept er that we should get involved in a ground war in indo-china. er in the case of berlin, the er situation there was er that russia er of course the soviet union could intervene in berlin more or less at will, given that it was a small island in east germany and was always a vulnerable, always, always in a position of being a hostage. so kennedy couldn't act precipitantly, he couldn't simply do what he wanted to do which was to get rid of castro, because if he'd done that then his policy objectives in other parts of the world would be in jeopardy. -he couldn't threaten the soviet union directly because the soviet union was a nuclear power and couldn't be threatened er so the course of action he took was intended to be moderate and to secure the objective solely of removing the missiles from cuba, not of doing anything about the cuban government or the regime or anything of that sort. +he couldn't threaten the soviet union directly because the soviet union was a nuclear power and couldn't be threatened er so the

of that sort. and so they came to a negotiated settlement by which the soviets agreed to withdraw the missiles and the united states promised that they would not interfere with castro again, although from that day to this they have maintained of course their economic embargo. er and here you have a case of diplomacy succeeding er and the spectre of war and possibly nuclear war erm fading out.

most harrowing war the americans ever got themselves involved in and has had deep and permanent effects upon american policy making to this very day. now what were the limits so far as the vietnam war was concerned? well initially the united states genuinely believed that with a small force, perhaps about a hundred thousand, maybe two hundred thousand troops, but principally using air power, that they could prevent the north vietnamese from helping the vietcong in the south and thus continuing the civil war. @@ -96744,55 +96700,55 @@ now wa the, the erm war began with operation rolling thunder

different scale of value to the objectives sought by the united states. two or three years later with half a million troops they are still no further forward in their struggle in vietnam and the cost

number of people wounded because of the particularly beastly kind of war with all kinds of weapons being used. now why was the united states defeated and was this war a rational war? well the objective was the maintenance of a friendly regime er in a country which had become part of the american sphere of influence. no one however at the time questioned why it was necessary to do that.

objectives er and de in defining the means to those objectives, how can you know in fact that you possess genuine capability without putting it to the test, without actually fighting the war and then finding that you cannot win it? you can't win it by changing the parameters er if you do change the parameters of course then you'll be fighting a different war and your objectives then become different. -erm the problem of limits then erm is paramount when yo you're contemplating threatening or using violence. -think of the present problem with bosnia there isn't a single er advanced industrial country that wishes to get engaged in ground warfare in yugoslavia because there would be simply no point in it and any casualty er would be seen as a waste, as a throwing away of resources

from opening the equivalents of garden fetes, receiving parties of boy scouts, er and whatever else the queen and her family do these days. er and that means that the president's attention is both

any, powers of coercion unlike the british prime minister. +so the president tries to encapsulate the national interest to embody the common good and he puts forward policies, not in any spirit of er personal or partisan advantage, but simply for the good of the nation. +and so you have then a political system in which you, which you have a presidency er faced by a powerful legislature, a president who is not part of legislature but who has to lead the legislature without any significant controls over it a very difficult and demanding task. +erm one of the best known commentators on

american civil war, the er then american president er was placed under great pressure to do something about the increasing tensions and increasing conflicts between north and south but er he declined to do so. does anyone remember the president before abraham lincoln? not many people do. -erm his name james buchanan james buchanan was asked to do something about the violations of the fugitive slave law, this is the one that returned slaves back to their owners, erm and buchanan said, i quote wisely limited and restrained as is the president's power under our constitution, he alone can

for good or for evil on such a momentous question. after all he is no more than the chief executive officer of government, his province is not to make but to execute the laws. congress alone has the power to decide whether the present laws can or cannot be amended so as to carry out more effectively the objects of law. apart from the execution of the laws the executive has no authority to decide what shall be the relations between the federal government and south carolina, any attempt to do this would be on his part a naked act of usurpation . so you have a very particular view of the constitution, that given by the founding fathers and one which is still in force some seventy eighty years later as america headed towards its most momentous and divisive crisis in its history. -now this is a turning point in, in american history and er cometh the time cometh the man and the man in this case was abraham lincoln and abraham lincoln took a rather, a rather different line. -and i

to defend the nation and defend the country yet a government which is not so strong that it erodes the rights of individuals within it, this is the, the essence of the, the problem of government as, as the founding fathers saw it. during the er civil war abraham lincoln er suspended, unilaterally, without consultation, er suspended the writ of habeas corpus who knows what habeas corpus is? right to a fair trial, any, any advance on that? we must have one lawyer amongst our presence surely. mhm. -it literally, it literally means produce the body only you can't simply, well the difference between a constitutional system and er an arbitrary government is that in arbitrary governments people get arrested and disappear, locked up, throw away the key and worry about it the next generation or after the next er military coup or whatever but in a constitutional government there have to be procedures and one of the safeguards of individual liberty is that if you're ever arrested and detained by law enforcement agencies you have to be produced before a court within a specified period and charged with something. +it literally, it literally means produce the body only you can't

you are being detained and you have a chance to, to refute that evidence. er as you can imagine in the circumstances of the civil war the government, the federal government, was much vexed about the question of spies and fifth columnists and people er in the, in the northern states er engaged in sabotage and collecting espionage of, of various kinds so er lincoln suspended the writ of habeas corpus. there were arrests, people were detained er without trial, they weren't charged with anything but on suspicion of being spies for the confederacy. -and lincoln was criticized, attacked for this, that er and he said in response to this the attention of the country has been called to the proposition that one who is sworn as the constitution says to take care that the laws be faithfully executed should himself not violate those laws a fairly reasonable proposition you might think, if your oath says to uphold the law then you start going round breaking the law er something wrong here somewhere methinks. -he goes on to say of course federal laws were not being obeyed in the confederacy because they'd rejected the entire panoply of federal laws and lincoln goes on to point out must they these laws and the confederacy be allowed to to state the question more directly, are all the laws but one to go unexecuted and the government itself to go to pieces less that one be violated . -so you get the impression here of lincoln talking about an unusual crisis situation in a letter to one of his mates in eighteen sixty four lincoln goes on lincoln goes on to, in his letter to a
