Conté

Conté, also known as Conté sticks or Conté crayons, are a drawing medium composed of compressed powdered graphite or charcoal mixed with a wax or clay base, square in cross-section. They were invented in 1795 by Nicolas-Jacques Conté, who created the combination of clay and graphite in response to the shortage of graphite caused by the Napoleonic Wars (the British naval blockade of France prevented import). Conté crayons had the advantage of being cost-effective to produce, and easy to manufacture in controlled grades of hardness.

They are now manufactured using natural pigments (iron oxides, carbon black, titanium dioxide), clay (kaolin), and a binder (cellulose ether).

Conté crayons are most commonly found in black, white, and sanguine tones, as well as bistre, shades of grey, and other colors. Currently in the USA, sets of 12 assorted portrait and landscape colors are available as well as a sketching set, plus sets of 18, 24 or 48 colors. In Europe, 22 more colors are available and the colors other than sanguine, bistre, grey, black, and white are available open stock.

European Parliament Committee on Budgetary Control

The Committee on Budgetary Control (CONT) is a committee of the European Parliament. with 30 permanent members. It can be seen as the European Union's internal "political watchdog", seeking to identify undesirable developments within EU institutions and other bodies and then to elaborate constructive suggestions for improvement.

The committee's current chair, elected on 7 July 2014, is Ingeborg Grässle.

Responsibilities of the committee

The Committee on Budgetary Control is responsible for the control of the implementation of the Union's budget, meaning that the taxpayers' money is spent efficiently, effectively and according to EU law. In close cooperation with the Court of Auditors, it audits the accounts of EU Institutions and suggests improvements in order to ensure sound financial management. It considers fraud and irregularities in the budget implementation, and suggests measures aimed at preventing and prosecuting such cases. In this context, it liaises with the Union's Anti-Fraud Office OLAF to strengthen the fight against fraud and corruption.

    I don't like Jews
    Neither should you
    They're ethically and spiritually poor, that's a fact
    I don't like black people
    It's just not acceptable
    There should be some kind of law, that is that
    And I get the shits
    With Inuits
    They get on my tits, the little bastards
    And women
    Just make me so mad
    Does that make me bad, am I bad?
    Is that bad?
    And the fuckin' Italians
    I just cannot stand them
    They really inspire my rancour
    Cheating fucking Italian wankers!
    And lesbians and the bicurious
    Make me furious
    It's not their fault, I know, but still... Grr!
    And fuckin' Christians
    I just want to punch them in their faces
    And I'm not comfortable with Muslims on the tube
    And I can't stand publicly breast-feeding mothers
    And I hate gays who talk camply
    And the fuckin' Chinese make me angry
    I hate the rich
    I hate the poor
    I hate bitches
    I hate whores
    I hate Africans
    I hate Japanese
    I hate the disabled
    I hate Burmese
    Yeah, I don't care about your color or your creed
    I will judge you for no reason
    [At this point, Tim "realises" that he's made a mistake: "Fuck, Sorry.
    That's the trouble with trying out new stuff, it's... I had half the lyrics
    Covered up. I think we should probably do it again. I think if we leave it
    There I might run the risk of being misconstrued. It's not even called
    'Cont', it called 'Context'."]
    [The song begins again]
    I don't like Jews
    Who make and distribute kiddy porn
    Neither should you
    Their ethically and spiritually poor, that's a fact
    I don't like black people
    Who risk billions of other peoples money gambling on future derivatives
    It's just not acceptable
    There should be some kind of law, that is that
    And I get the shits
    With Inuits
    Who find out what job I do
    And regale me with a racist joke or two
    They get on my tits, the little bastards
    And women
    Who judge other women for not holding the some views as them vis-a-vis
    Career and mothering
    Just make me so mad
    Does that make me bad, am I bad?
    Is that bad?
    And the fuckin' Italians
    I just cannot stand them
    When they take a dive in the penalty box
    Denying Australia it's World Cup spot
    They really inspire my rancour
    Cheating fucking Italian wankers
    And lesbians and the bicurious
    Make me furious
    When their pride parade blocked the traffic flow
    When my baby had asthma and had to go to the hospital
    It's not their fault, I know, but still... Grr!
    And fuckin' Christians
    Who lean on their horn when my wife is being cautious at an intersection
    I just want to punch them in their faces
    Although my anger is fleeting
    I understand their frustration
    She's a little too hesitant
    And I'm not comfortable Muslims on the tube
    Who look over my shoulder when I'm readin'
    And I can't stand publicly breast-feeding mothers
    Who smoke cigarettes while their feeding
    And I hate gays who talk camply
    During the final act of King Lear
    And the fuckin' Chinese make me angry
    When they make sham erection potions out of the horns of endangered
    Rhinoceros
    I hate the rich who use their wealth as an excuse for bigotry
    I hate the poor who use their poverty as an excuse for bigotry
    I hate bitches who get rabies and try to bite babies
    I hate whores who won't accept Visa
    I hate African racists
    I hate Japanese homophobes
    I hate those disabled rapists
    I hate Burmese cats
    Yeah, I don't care about your colour or your creed
    I will judge you for no reason...
