  Thucydides information - Search.com
Thucydides (between 460 and 455 BC–circa 400 BC, Greek Θουκυδίδης, Thoukudídês) was an ancient Greek historian, and the author of the History of the Peloponnesian War, which recounts the 5th century BC war between Sparta and Athens.
In 424 BC he was appointed strategos (general), and given command of a squadron of seven ships, stationed at Thasos, probably because of his connections to the area.
During the winter of 424/3 BC, the Spartan general Brasidas attacked Amphipolis, a half-day's sail west from Thasos on the Thracian coast.

 The Fraser Institute: Finally! Reforming Politics: The BC Blueprint
Under FPTP that is simply false.  Typically, in BC and federal elections over half, and often as many as two-thirds of the candidates are elected on less than a majority of the votes cast.
To their credit the BC Liberals have introduced a fixed election date and a fixed legislative calendar.  Both measures do place some limitation on the powers of the executive, and restricts the opportunity for partisan politics to shape the public agenda.  It is a significant step in the right direction. 
There is a further consideration.  It is very likely that in BC under AV the NDP will be excluded from power forever.   At first blush, some will find that prospect mighty appealing.  But anyone who believes in democracy cannot support an institutional exclusion from participation in the governing function for forty percent of the electorate.

 What is the Septuagint?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The alleged date of translation was supposedly around 250 BC, during the 400 years of silence between the close of the Old Testament in 397 BC and the birth of Christ in approximately 4 BC (due to a four year error in the calendar).
If fact, it may be the existence of this fragment that led Eusebius and Philo to assume that the entire Pentateuch had been translated by some scribe in an effort to interest Gentiles in the history of the Jews.
We can rest assured that those 72 Jewish scholars supposedly chosen for the work in 250 BC would be just a mite feeble by 150 BC.
