All celebrities have their fair share of fakes & bots as followers but the total percentage seldom crosses 50%. Narendra Modi's Twitter account shows a high of 63% fake followers which is unusually high but still a significant improvement from the early days of the account when a similar audit showed fakes, bots & total passives to be nearly 80% of the total followers shown. #t #f

Golden Shores

Here is another shot from last week at Pescadero Beach in California. I really liked the rocks in the foreground and tried a bunch of different comps and angles. I think that will be very helpful for shooting similar situations in the future as some of the angles I didn't like much at all:) The yellow glow is from the smoke hanging in the air from the fires in CA and I added a subtle texture to the sky to give it some depth.

Happy Monday!

As constitutional democracies around the world are rocked by a series of new developments, China is beginning to challenge the constitutions of the world with its own constitution.

This transition structure represented a new, distinctively Chinese Communist answer to the greatest single problem confronting any polity: how to transfer power peacefully and stably. Monarchy usually does it by a system of identifiable heirs. Democracy does it by elections. Autocracies struggle mightily, often experiencing coups as transition looms.

The Chinese transitional structure has been an extraordinary success, measured by the standards of authoritarian governments. During the period covered by the post-Deng governments, now a bit more than 25 years, depending on how you count, China has experienced spectacular, unprecedented economic growth. That the party has smoothly maintained power during such an era of societal transformation is a fact of historical importance.

Xi has been signaling for years that he is in the process of changing how power transitions in China, and the new amendment is simply the most formal recognition of that change. From a power-sharing, consensus-driven approach, the Communist Party under Xi is circling back to the model of single-leader dominance that characterized it under Mao and Deng. #t #f

A friend has just shared a report in the 'Ahmedabad Mirror' with me and the table below is contained in that report. The full report can be read by taking the jump to the link just below:
https://goo.gl/JcEWfA

Now going by this table and the numbers visible there from the last assembly election, AAP could certainly play the role of a major spoiler for the INC there for at least 5 of these 11 seats that apparently it has already decided to contest.

Here's a flash analysis: Of the 11 seats, 5 of them viz., Bapunagar, Danilimda, Lathi, Chhota Udepur, Padra & Karjan are fairly marginal cases. Two of these were won by the INC with fairly low margins and the balance 3 by the BJP with equally slim margins. In a revival scenario the Congress could hope to wrest these 3 seats from the BJP in a best-case scenario (for these 5 seats). However with the entry of AAP and a worst-case scenario where they affect the INC adversely in all cases, the INC could end up losing all these 5 marginal seats. A negative swing of 10 in a closely fought election over a small sample size of 11 seats even could be 'decisive'.

I have no idea of which other seats the AAP may be wanting to contest in that state and what the past profile and margin of victory of those seats may be like. However, looking at this small sample, the AAP's entry into the forthcoming Gujarat assembly elections could well be 'not-so-good' news for the INC and conversely 'not-so-bad' news for the BJP. #t #f
