The real victims of the Nafta trade deal
Donald Trump is right about one thing, says Felicity Lawrence: Nafta – the North American Free Trade Agreement – has been a disaster for many US workers. It’s deeply unfair, though, to seek to blame this on job-stealing Mexican migrants. Poor Mexicans have, in fact, been the biggest losers of the Nafta deal. The reason so many sought work in the US in the first place is that their jobs back home had vanished. When Nafta was introduced in 1994, it led to an initial growth in low-wage factory jobs in Mexico, but many of those have since gone to China. Meanwhile, the entry of giant, subsidised US grain traders into the Mexican corn market has decimated local producers, driving some 1.3 million Mexicans off the land. Ordinary Mexicans haven’t even benefited from the fall in corn prices. On the contrary, tortilla prices rose sevenfold as a result of Nafta, which obliged the Mexican government to remove some of the state supports that kept tortillas cheap. The main winners of Nafta have been local elites and big, tax-dodging US businesses. But Trump seems in no hurry to challenge them.

Trump’s feuds
The US Vice President-elect Mike Pence was attending the Broadway show Hamilton last Friday when he was booed by fellow audience members and then lectured from the stage at the curtain call. The musical, about the US founding father Alexander Hamilton, features hip-hop music and a racially diverse cast. “Mike Pence, we welcome you here,” actor Brandon Dixon (who plays the 18th century vice-president Aaron Burr) told him. “We are the diverse Americans who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents… or uphold our inalienable rights.” The incident (pictured) provoked furious tweets from President-elect Donald Trump. “The Theatre must always be a safe and special place,” said one. “The cast of Hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, Mike Pence. Apologise!” Trump also reprimanded TV show Saturday Night Live for mocking him, and summoned TV executives and journalists to Trump Tower to rail against “outrageous” and “dishonest” media coverage of the presidential transition. Trump has also paid $25m to settle three fraud lawsuits related to his “Trump University” investment classes. Rather than contest them, he said, he needed to be fully focused on his new job.

The Trump team
Donald Trump began filling senior posts last week in preparation for taking office on 20 January. The president-elect offered an olive branch to the Washington establishment by appointing Reince Priebus, an insider close to the Republican leadership, as his chief of staff. More controversially, he picked Steve Bannon, the former head of the hard-right Breitbart News, as his chief White House adviser. Critics were also perturbed by his choice of Mike Flynn, Jeff Sessions and Mike Pompeo to serve, respectively, as national security adviser, attorney general and CIA director. All three are loyalists known for their hard-line views.
Trump has continued to use Twitter to attack media critics, and, in a breach of diplomatic convention, recommended this week that Nigel Farage be named UK ambassador to America. He also announced his early agenda via a short video posted on YouTube, in which he promised to torpedo the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. Trump later announced that he would not pursue further investigations into Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, and disavowed far-right activists.
Trump’s first appointments are depressing, said the Los Angeles Times. His choice as national security adviser, Mike Flynn, has outdone even Trump himself when it comes to insulting Muslims. Flynn has reportedly referred to Islam as “a cancer”, and once tweeted that “fear of Muslims is RATIONAL”. As for Jeff Sessions, Trump’s choice of attorney general, he was once rejected for a judgeship because of alleged racism. Liberals always try to paint Southern Republicans as racists, said The Wall Street Journal. It’s not true of Sessions: as former US attorney of the Southern District of Alabama, he helped desegregate the state’s public schools, and won a death penalty conviction for the head of the local Ku Klux Klan. As worrying as Trump’s appointments is his thin-skinned reaction to criticism, said The Washington Post. He complained that his vice-president, Mike Pence, had been “harassed” by the cast of a Broadway show and demanded an apology after one actor implored Pence from the stage to work on behalf of all Americans. He tweeted angrily about a satirical sketch on NBC’s Saturday Night Live. It’s one thing to fire off cranky messages in the heat of a campaign but Trump will soon be president. “His words matter.”
“Let’s dispense with a couple of red herrings,” said Rupert Cornwell in The Independent.
“Contrary to many reports, this hasn’t been an especially chaotic transition.” While some of
Trump’s procedures have certainly been unorthodox, he’s well ahead of where Bill Clinton was at this stage: Clinton “didn’t manage to nominate his (third) choice of attorney general until three weeks after his inauguration”. Nor is it especially shocking that Trump’s children and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, might play some role in the White House. They seem more “presidential” than him, and it wouldn’t be the first time a US leader relied on family advice.
Trump is grappling with “a task that even he and some of his closest advisers had thought he would never have to face”, said Toby Harnden in The Sunday Times. He appears to be approaching it in a similar way to The Apprentice, the reality TV show he used to host. Potential appointees are referred to as “finalists”. “Names are floated, then withdrawn, as if to build up the drama before the finale.” The three most important members of Trump’s team, said David Smith in The Guardian, look set to be Priebus, Bannon and Kushner. They’re all very different, which is sure to lead to some creative tensions, to say the least. But that won’t bother Trump. In the words of one insider, the president-elect “likes to manage with concentric circles of chaos… He likes the tension between the different sectors of influence.” One significant decision still being argued over is who should serve as Trump’s secretary of state, said Kathleen Parker in The Washington Post. Some, alarmingly, are pushing for the post to go to Rudy Giuliani, who was good as mayor of New York after 9/11 but who now comes across as a ranting reactionary. Let’s hope Trump instead picks Mitt Romney, with whom he held a meeting this week. The former Republican presidential candidate is calm, articulate and well informed, not to mention fluent in French – all things Trump is not. He also has a sound grasp of international politics. It was Romney, remember, who, during his final debate with President Obama in 2012, presciently pointed to Russia as the US’s greatest geopolitical foe.
Trump and his advisers need to fill some 4,000 posts, more than 1,000 of whose occupants will require confirmation from the Senate. Many of the appointees will be fresh faces who have never served in an administration and will therefore require full background checks. This will create a major headache for the security vetting system, which is already struggling with a big backlog. Trump says he would “like to do something” to separate his presidential role from his business empire. Although there is no legal requirement for him to liquidate his assets, past presidents have set aside their business dealings. Critics are calling on him to adopt blind trusts, or take other equivalent measures.

Serial Killer Definition
Like certain other terms—obscenity, for example—serial killing is surprisingly tricky to define. Part of the problem is that police definitions tend to differ from popular conceptions. According to some experts, a serial killer is any murderer who commits more than one random slaying with a break between the crimes. There is certainly some validity to this viewpoint. If (for example) Ted Bundy had been caught after committing only a couple of atrocities, he wouldn’t have gained worldwide notoriety—but he still would have been what he was: a demented personality capable of the most depraved acts of violence. Still, it’s hard to think of someone as a serial killer unless he’s killed a whole string of victims.
How many victims constitute a “string”? Again, it’s hard to be precise. The most infamous serial killers—Bundy, Gacy, Dahmer, etc.—are the ones responsible for double-digit murders. Most experts seem to agree, however, that to qualify as a serial killer, an individual has to slay a minimum of three unrelated victims.
The notion of a string implies something else besides sheer number. A serial killer must perpetrate a number of random killings with an emotional “cooling-off” period between each crime. This hiatus—which can last anywhere from hours to years—is what distinguishes the serial killer from the Mass Murderer, the homicidal nut who erupts in an explosion of insane violence, killing a whole group of people all at once. Thus, the official FBI definition of serial homicide is “three or more separate events with an emotional cooling-off period between homicides, each murder taking place at a different location.”
There are several problems with this definition, however. For one thing, not all serial killers commit their murders in different locations. The nearly three dozen victims of John Wayne Gacy, for example, all met their horrible deaths in the basement of his suburban ranch house. And there are murderers who commit three or more separate homicides over extended periods of time who aren’t serial killers: mob hitmen, for example.
What distinguishes a professional hitman from a serial killer, however, is that one kills for money—it’s his job—while the other kills purely for depraved pleasure. A hitman may enjoy his work, but murder isn’t his primary source of sexual gratification. The situation is different with psychos like Gacy, who reach the heights of ecstasy while perpetrating their atrocities. According to many experts, in other words, true serial killer always involves an element of unspeakable sexual Sadism.
Taking these issues into account, the National Institute of Justice offers a definition we find more useful than the FBI’s: “A series of two or more murders, committed as separate events, usually but not always committed by one offender acting alone. The crimes may occur over a period of time ranging from hours to years. Quite often the motive is psychological, and the offender’s behavior and the physical evidence observed at the crime scenes will reflect sadistic, sexual overtones.”

10 ความจริงเกี่ยวกับอวกาศ
1. น้ำแข็งบนดาวพลูโตแข็งกว่าโลหะ
ดาวพลูโตจัดอันดับในระบบสุริยะว่าเป็นดาวที่อยู่ไกลดวงอาทิตย์ มากที่สุดจะมีความหนาวเย็นมากกว่าดาวดวงอื่นๆ แต่ใครจะรู้ว่าน้ำแข็งที่อยู่บนดาวพลูโตที่อุณภูมิติดลบถึง 234.4 องศาเซลเซียสนั้นจะมีความแข็งแรงกว่าโลหะที่อยู่บนโลกของเราซะอีก
2. ดวงจันทร์เรืองแสงไม่ได้
นักบินอวกาศในโครงการอพอลโลได้รายงานว่าพบแสงสลัวส่องประกายออกมาจากดวงจันทร์ แต่เนื่องจากบนดวงจันทร์ไม่มีชั้นบรรยากาศอย่างเช่นโลกของเราจึงคาดกันว่าแสงที่เห็นน่าจะเป็นแสงสะท้อน
จากอนุภาคเล็กที่ลอยตัวอยู่เหนือพื้นผิวดวงจันทร์มากกว่าการเรืองแสงด้วยตัวมันเอง
3. ดวงอาทิตย์หดตัวเรื่อยๆ
ทุกการปะทุของลมสุริยะที่ออกจากพื้นผิวของดวงอาทิตย์แต่ละครั้งจะทำให้ดวงอาทิตย์สูญเสียมวลรวมไปราว 2 ล้านกิโลกรัมต่อวินาที แต่ไม่ว่าบนดวงอาทิตย์จะเกิดลมสุริยะมาแล้วกี่ครั้ง ดวงอาทิตย์ก็
ยังสามารถให้แสงสว่างและความร้อนได้มาจนถึงปัจจุบัน
4. โลหะสามารถเชื่อมติดกันอัตโนมัติบนอวกาศ
สำหรับในอวกาศหากเราคิดจะเชื่อมโลหะให้ติดกันเราสามารถทำได้โดยไม่ต้องใช้อุปกรณ์ใดช่วยเลย เพราะโลหะจะเชื่อมติดกันโดยอัตโนมัติด้วยวิธีที่เรียกว่า “เชื่อมแบบเย็น (Cold Welding)” ซึ่งนั่นทำให้ทางนาซาจำเป็นต้องเคลือบชิ้นส่วนของยานอวกาศทุกลำด้วยสารป้องกันการเกาะติดเพื่อไม่ให้
ชิ้นส่วนของยานอวกาศติดกัน
5. โลกอาจมีดวงจันทร์ดวงที่ 2
ในปีค.ศ.1986 ‘ดันแคน วอลดรอน’ นักวิทยาศาสตร์ชาวสก็อตแลนด์ได้ค้นพบวัตถุประหลาด ซึ่งต่อมาวัตถุนั้นมีแนวโน้มจะกลับมาโคจรรอบโลกจึงสันนิษฐานว่าน่าจะเป็นดวงจันทร์ดวงที่ 2 ของโลก อย่างไรก็ตามนับตั้งแต่ตอนนั้นจนถึงวันนี้ได้มีการค้นพบวัตถุในลักษณะเดียวกันนี้อีกถึง 3 ดวง แต่ถูกจัดให้อยู่ในฐานะดาวเคราะห์น้อยเท่านั้น
6. มนุษย์จะมีความสูงเพิ่มขึ้น 2 นิ้วบนอวกาศ
เชื่อหรือไม่... หากเราลองไปอยู่บนห้วงอวกาศแล้ว เราจะมีความสูงเพิ่มขึ้นมาอีก2 นิ้ว เนื่องเพราะว่าบนอวกาศไม่มีแรงดึงดูดจึงส่งผลให้กระดูกสันหลังของเรายืดตัวได้ยาวขึ้น แต่หลังจากที่กลับลงมาอยู่บนพื้นโลกความสูงก็จะกลับมาเท่าเดิมเหมือนก่อนที่จะขึ้นไปอวกาศ
7. ดวงจันทร์เคลื่อนตัวห่างจากโลกปีละ 3.8 ซม.
ในทุกปีดวงจันทร์จะเคลื่อนตัวห่างจากโลกออกไปราว 3.8 เซนติเมตรต่อปี เนื่องจากโลกหมุนรอบตัวเองเร็วกว่ารอบโคจรของดวงจันทร์ นอกจากนี้ยังทำให้โลกโคจรรอบตัวเองช้าลง 0.002 วินาทีในทุกๆ 100 ปี แต่ถึงการเคลื่อนไหวตัวของดวงจันทร์จะห่างจากโลกไปทุกปีก็ไม่ได้ส่งผลใดๆให้กับโลกของเราเลยแม้แต่น้อย
8. ของเหลวจะกลมเมื่ออยู่บนอวกาศ
จากความรู้ในอดีตที่ว่ารูปร่างของ“ของเหลว” จะเปลี่ยนตามภาชนะที่บรรจุ แต่หากว่าของเหลวนั้นมาอยู่ภายใต้สภาวะไร้น้ำหนักบนห้วงอวกาศมันจะมีรูปร่างเป็นทรงกลมราวกับมีพลาสติกห่อหุ้มอยู่
9. ดาวเสาร์เบาจนลอยน้ำได้
ถ้าสามารถนำเอาดาวเสาร์มาวางลงบนผิวน้ำ ดาวเสาร์จะลอยบนผิวน้ำ โดยไม่มีทางจม เนื่องจากดาวเสาร์มีน้ำหนักเบาและมีความหนาแน่นเพียง 0.687 กรัม ต่อลูกบาศก์เซนติเมตร ในขณะที่ความหนาแน่นของน้ำอยู่ที่ 0.998 กรัม ต่อลูกบาศก์เซนติเมตรนั่นเอง
10. แสงลึกลับที่ขอบจักรวาล
ในอดีตมีการค้นพบแสงลึกลับที่ส่องลงมาจากเส้นขอบจักรวาล ในช่วงแรกๆ นักวิทยาศาสตร์ไม่สามารถระบุได้ว่ามันคืออะไร แต่หลังจากมีการสำรวจก็พบว่าน่าจะเป็นวัตถุที่มีแสงสว่างเจิดจ้าซึ่งอยู่ห่างจากโลกประมาณร้อยล้านปีแสง ซึ่งมันสามารถปล่อยพลังงานได้มากกว่ากาแลกซี่ทางช้างเผือกถึง 1,000 เท่า โดยมีการตั้งให้แสงดังกล่าวนั้นชื่อว่า “เควซาร์”
