Critics of this type of argument have tended to point out that this is just a standard criticism of representative democracy — a democratically elected government will not always act in the direction of greatest current public support — and that, therefore, there is no inconsistency in the leaders ' positions given that these countries are parliamentary democracies.

The standard example is the stock of a company, undervalued in the stock market, which is about to be the object of a takeover bid ; the price of the takeover will more truly reflect the value of the company, giving a large profit to those who bought at the current price — if the merger goes through as predicted.

The connection is now standard, but is based on what current scholars mean by " induction ", not how Hume used the term in his writings.

The current version of the standard from June 2006 contains some inconsistencies ( e. g. covariant redefinitions ).

The ephemeris time of the 1952 standard leaves a continuing legacy, through its ephemeris second which became closely duplicated in the length of the current standard SI second ( see below: Redefinition of the second ).

In this way, decisions made by the original designers of ephemeris time influenced the length of today's standard SI second, and in turn, this has a continuing influence on the number of leap seconds which have been needed for insertion into current broadcast time scales, to keep them approximately in step with mean solar time.

In 1976 the IAU resolved that the theoretical basis for its current ( 1952 ) standard of Ephemeris Time was non-relativistic, and that therefore, beginning in 1984, Ephemeris Time would be replaced by two relativistic timescales intended to constitute dynamical timescales: Terrestrial Dynamical Time ( TDT ) and Barycentric Dynamical Time ( TDB ).

The current standard composition for the black powders that are manufactured by pyrotechnicians was adopted as long ago as 1780.

These include the choice over whether to adopt a current standard, or move towards a more neutral, but artificial one.

A true International English might supplant both current American and British English as a variety of English for international communication, leaving these as local dialects, or would rise from a merger of General American and standard British English with admixture of other varieties of English and would generally replace all these varieties of English.

The standard measurement of speed on an ergometer is generally known as the " split ", or the amount of time in minutes and seconds required to travel at the current pace — a split of 2: 00 represents a speed of two minutes per 500 metres, or about.

The current standard is ISO 13616: 2007, which indicates SWIFT as the formal registrar.

In the Gregorian calendar, the current standard calendar in most of the world, most years that are integer multiples of 4 are leap years.

It was created in 2010 to develop High Efficiency Video Coding, a new generation video coding standard that further reduces ( by 50 %) the data rate required for high quality video coding, as compared to the current ITU-T H. 264 / ISO / IEC 14496-10 standard.

While the format has no particular standard identity, most " mix " stations have rotations consisting largely of pop and rock music from the 1980s and 1990s ( and often the 1970s ), with some current material mixed in.

Based on the current IUGG meridian of ( standard ) metres the mean historical nautical mile is.

The POP protocol has been developed through several versions, with version 3 ( POP3 ) being the current standard.

The isolation of Antarctica by the current is credited by many researchers with causing the glaciation of Antarctica and global cooling in the Eocene epoch.

In the current cosmological epoch, the accelerated expansion due to dark energy is preventing structures larger than superclusters from forming.

In this case, four different numbers were inserted, with dots between them: the rightmost one is a timestamp of the number of seconds since January 1, 1970, known as the Unix epoch ; to the left of it is the process ID of the program that generated the message ( on servers running Unix or Linux, each process has a number which is unique among the processes in progress at any moment, though they do repeat over time ); to the left of that is a count of the number of messages generated so far by the current process ; and the leftmost number is the number of parts in the current message that have been generated so far.

Many other current and historical calendar eras exist, each with its own epoch.

Indeed, some theories that predict a variable fine-structure constant also predict that the value of the fine-structure constant should become practically fixed in its value once the universe enters its current dark energy-dominated epoch.

This marks both the start of his return journey and, from our current perspective, a new epoch in Orosius ’ s life that is lacking in sources of information for its study.

Like Hindus, Buddhists generally believe in cycles of destruction and creation, of which the current epoch represents only the latest step.

( This is a common current way of using an epoch.

Speculatively, it is possible that the universe may enter a second inflationary epoch, or, assuming that the current vacuum state is a false vacuum, the vacuum may decay into a lower-energy state .< sup >, § VE .</ sup > It is also possible that entropy production will cease and the universe will achieve heat death .< sup >, § VID .</ sup >

Samways used the term to define our current geological epoch, in which biodiversity is diminishing and ecosystems around the globe become more similar to one another.

This invention amounted to an epoch making design on which current typewriters for Japanese are based, contributing greatly to efficient processing of documents and creation of different types of documents.

In the current epoch the strong interaction is not unified with the electroweak interaction, but from the observed running of the coupling constants it is believed they all converge to a single value at very high energies.

According to the papers of the epoch, the last time that a change was made was in 1544, but it is unknown when the city was established in its current place.

The last glacial period ended about 15, 000 years ago ; The Holocene epoch is the current interglacial.

In 2000, in IGBP Newsletter 41, Crutzen and Eugene F. Stoermer, to emphasize the central role of mankind in geology and ecology, proposed using the term anthropocene for the current geological epoch.

These processes continue to shape the Canyonlands landscape in the Holocene ( the current epoch ) but at a slower rate due to a significant increase in aridity.

Wetter and cooler conditions developed during the Pleistocene epoch and briefly returned via at least two neoglacial episodes ( little ice ages ) in the current epoch, the Holocene.

This expansion explains various properties of the current universe that are difficult to account for without such an inflationary epoch.

The current epoch, CÐ 17. 6355, is 10 < sup >( 17. 6355 )</ sup > seconds, or 13. 73 ( 12 ) billion years, since the Big Bang.

There have been 60. 9 cosmological decades between the Planck epoch, CÐ − 43. 2683, and the current epoch, CÐ 17. 6355.

In this definition, the current epoch is CÐ ( 17. 6355 − 7. 4991116 ), or CÐ 10. 1364.
