Knowing that these are challenging times in the world, for most of our half-hour together he talked extensively and with great passion about the current batch of television reality shows. That part of our discussion does not bear repeating, but in an off-hand [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When Parliament returns from its unexpected recess it plans to pass a new data privacy bill. To date, we don’t have any laws here in Shalampax concerning the protection of the privacy of data collected by businesses. And Shalampaxian companies have been, to say the least, quite lax in this regard. Once this bill is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To better plan and manage governmental and business affairs, the Government of Shalampax thought it was a good idea to get a more accurate—or at least some—sense of the demographics of Shalampax. To this end, a few weeks ago the government undertook Shalampax’s first comprehensive census. Censuses had been conducted in the past, but they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two days ago, the Parliament of Shalampax began an unscheduled recess that is expected to last approximately two weeks. This is only an estimate, but the custodian of Parliament feels that it will require at least that long to adequately air out the Chamber of Parliament. The airing became necessary when the restaurant in Parliament, [...]]]></description>

The government believes that continuing to release these documents would be pointless as they have always been mythological creations designed purely for entertainment purposes. The government believes that there is far better entertainment available today, so [...]]]></description>

They also discovered that many nations of the world have imposed a moratorium on commercial whaling.

The sole purpose of these systems will be to output numbers that are generated as randomly as possible. These random numbers will have 27 decimal places and range between zero and one. The numbers will be used to pick [...]]]></description>
