Love is an important part of our relationship. I can understand this when my boyfriend has cheated on me and engaged with other girl’s affairs. At that time I was Broken and realized the importance of love in my life or relationship. My boyfriend did not give me importance and he always embarrasses me in front of his friends. Then I searched on the Internet and I found a spell caster who i trusted and he cheated me “one day a friend of mine told me about a real spell caster who helped her with a love spell so I got the contact number of Dr Jumba spell caster ” then I dropped a message on WhatsApp and explained all my problems to him . So he showed me previous work done by himself and guided me on how the work will be done. Then I start work and get my boyfriend back within 24 hours as Dr Jumba promised me in a positive way. I want to use this time to show appreciation. That's why I am so happy and thankful to Dr Jumba. he can also help you below are his contact information email : wiccalovespelltools@yahoo.com text or call him +19085174108 . <br />website :https://drjumbaspellhome.wordpress.comliora russell brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07475828679668112713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3055604501732306258.post-14760286887113756192017-06-12T15:21:07.235-06:002017-06-12T15:21:07.235-06:00Hello dear admin

First would be to give ridings that run along physical/provincial boundaries a lower weighting (could part of the difference between Canada and the US be that Canada has more regularly shaped provinces?). Second, a comparison to population density per riding. Ideally, a riding would not be 90% rural and 10% urban (like the two for Alberta that split up Fort MacMurray).

California was redistricted in 2012 using a bipartisan commission with data from the 2010 census. This resulted in more competitive districts and a top-two blanket primary. The districts you showed are prime examples of how gerrymandering was out of control in the state. If you look at the districts now, you can see more cohesive, contiguous areas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3055604501732306258.post-68897040568606690492015-02-13T16:34:52.328-07:002015-02-13T16:34:52.328-07:00The 'compactness' will surely be related t...The 'compactness' will surely be related to the local population density, as size of the voting districts will be inversely proportional with this metric, and necessity of making very sharp cuts through the geography will be diminished. As the population density of the US (even including Alaska) is nearly an order of magnitude higher than that of Canada, it should be expected that the 'compactness' will be higher in the US. I'd imagine that if the 'compactness' to population density of all of the voting districts were plotted, you'd see a strong correlation - something to look into.<br /><br />Additionally, the term 'compactness' is a poor choice, since larger 'compactness' means it is in fact less compact, so the term should by diffuseness or something similar.<br /><br />The choice of definition of the metric used is also poor, as something that is very compact, but has surface roughness could rate as high as a region which is actually what you want to define as not ideal. Indeed, you concede that regions like Labrador, which are along coastline, will surely have a large perimeter length even though they are close to being as compact as it can be. A better way would be to divide the area of the voting district by the area of the convex hull. In this case, a compactness of 1 still signifies the ideal square situation (and indeed any convex shape like a circle or rectangle), and lower values are less ideal. The area of the convex hull can also be altered to discount any regions cutting over water, eliminating the issue of coastline. If you wanted to penalize elongated but convex districts, you incorporate the aspect ratio of the convex hull as an additional factor, but I find the thing that people recognize most abhorrent about gerrymandering is the exaggerated concavity of polygons used to bound districts.<br /><br />Now, you may still find that Canadians are more honest and less prone to gerrymandering than Americans, but I feel like this alternate method would show this with more confidence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3055604501732306258.post-41143271449006676832015-02-13T10:14:24.186-07:002015-02-13T10:14:24.186-07:00I'd be interested to see that Alberta map supe...I'd be interested to see that Alberta map superimposed with a poll of where people usually vote, because the conservative party has been accused of gerrymandering.

The case has been seen in many 'rurban' districts in Saskatchewan and Alberta prior to this year's reconfiguration. Some have protested the new alignments claiming that it would initiate an urban and rural divide.<br /><br />That said, wouldn't it be interesting to see proportional representation occur in our lifetime?Paulnoreply@blogger.com
