Harstad probably I'd say but try

Alright over the next couple of days then

that was so funny

Yop have read it but it was about the big six CEOs going to the meet the Archbishop of Canterbury and it mentioned that there was a possibility they will be told that where they are going to they won't need that much heat

That he is interested in being a party at the lawsuit, the problem we have is he wants to win and didn't agree at least until recently and that I am aware of with our views. Of course we wish the lawsuit to be successful but not at the expense of the understanding of the Small Nations Rights and struggle for basic rights whether Native Nations or National Minorities making the FCNM and ECRML the top priorities of the agenda given the urgency for these Nations or Minorities economies, the need to be able to act for themselves and in their best interests what of course the central state doesn't do and will not do.

I know not the first time he said that before

no I haven't, did u get it from them?

Yop the idea is to leave them with only one option which is to throw dirt but we have to be sure we have run down the entire spectrum of legitimate objections and consequences, be ready to explain what why and how with the right thought through arguments.

Nothing decided yet as still shewing how to deal with the expected opponents inevitable despicable arguments and the more is done now will be saving a lot of energy when they start to fire back

>>For how much?

Later tomorrow

Do u get me? The institutions can't be unsettled under the simple fact they were misguided in not dealing soon enough with a matter when obviously they didn't stand by the rules upholding their mission.

The idea behind it is u can still ask institutions to be rigorous with themselves, trial them when necessary and have failed while upholding their role if the plaintiffs apply to themselves and their action the principles that should have guided the institutions in the matters that are concerned. Not just it should considerably help the understanding of the case in which we are involved but it should help offset a wide range of objections to the lawsuit misportrayed you can expect as a challenge to the institutions themselves.

I don't know.... but for sure the overall balance needs the citizenry to act responsibly meaning the institutions don't hold by themselves long term.

m almost done you

It was generally speaking I meant that it looks difficult to say that legislate from the bench is wrong doing when the citizenry allows itself to turn the Courtrooms into political meetings attempting to get from the bench what the consensus has delayed, refused most of the time failed to reach within the legislature.

Had a glitch on thursday night... What r u guys doing?

Well yes that's among the motives keep passions at bay.

U tell me tomorrow then but I think I made up my mind.

I got it, as far as I know u share the view that legislate from the bench creates more problems that it solves any and when I saw the "unintended" thing make a come back, typically, the debate will turn the Court room  into a political meeting, that's wrong and counter productive. The separation of powers aren't just to be pretty, it is, should be the reminder that ultimately everyone's behaviour counts in the pursue of their own ends.
The legislator guiltiness search among the unintended consequences will inevitably lead to political arguments over the nature of secrecy laws and their use, a debate that has nothing to do in a Court room.
A failure to act from the legislator over a lasting unattended consequence of a legislation whose result is to alter definitively the due course of justice should can easily find its way in Court with a non political debate over and only over was it technically and constitutionally possible to write a piece of legislation to end the private interests sheltering by the state secrecy laws aimed and only aimed at protecting the state national security in due time to avoid the private interests wrongdoing to definitely escape the course of justice.

There was something else that crossed my mind

That's one u could have done... Just kidding

no kidding there are no incentives, why should there be any given u r only doing what u should do which is get involved in matters directly impacting the economy u live in....

well I don't know yet but I feel comfortable with it, among the consequences of the secrecy laws private interests were sheltered, whether or not the private interests involved have played a role and lobbied the legislation or the documents classification is irrelevant, altering the course of justice. A legislator intervention was needed to end what obviously was not and could not be among the legislation goals before this unattended consequence of the secrecy laws lead to permanently barred any lawsuits against the private interests involved. The legislator failing to act in a timely manner to allow the due course of justice to take place, whether or not any lawsuits be successful or not is irrelevant and don't need to be discussed at this stage, has engaged the State's responsibility.
Look right now at this minute I can run with that but have it chewed overnight and we'll see tomorrow how it tastes.
WTO - set a deadline, do my share over the next couple of days

That's why I don't be drawn in there... it is a mistake. We just don't know and we won't know, was it unintended, was there any hidden intent in it....? This is speculation, it will allow all kind of adventure and crazy stuff and a welcome distraction.... What counts is what cannot be questioned and that is, is there an unattended consequence regardless of whatever were the goals hidden or not of the secrecy laws? Answer YES, there is. Are among the legislator duties to remedy any unattended consequence of a legislation? YES Has the legislator failed to act? YES.
We should stick to that.

What's the level of intent of an unintended consequence?

Told u I don't be drawn in that debate and I think it is a mistake if it was what u guys had in mind.... It is second guessing of the legislator and speculation it will end up dead on arrival...

What is it that makes u think that.... If I write unattended it isn't unintended... u pain !

I just can't believe it... The drafts are out now for more than 48 hours I haven't read anything from any of u two but u had time to change my stuff....

With which section I end up with? We'll keep talking decide with what we r comfortable running with and turn to the lawyer with everyone's ok

I agree but still, so far the Court may not have paid a lot of attention to that but I believe it will for the foreseeable future, every breach of the understanding of the Rule of Law fairness is a breach of power. I never said that the legal techniques should be written under the understanding of the Rule of Law Fairness, what I wanted to emphasize on was that the breach in the understanding of the Rule of Law Fairness is more than a lack of understanding of the legal implications and techniques. It goes deeper it questions further than education, to neglect it undermines considerably more than just a Court order or the Court itself. That said, u can't either allow one's view of Fairness to write the Law or guide its understanding while a decision can explore and answer how is questioned the Rule of Law Fairness under these circumstances. Think that's what I meant...

well, the entire system relies on the common trust we share in the rule of law fairness. That's the heart of it so every time that fairness can be questioned it needs to be addressed....

Don't know for sure will have to wait for the law firm answers but what I have tried to do is look further the legal issue and unintended consequences of adopted legislations can't be counted for... it is a common place, it goes with legislate. Now when u fail to act on unintended consequences, can the state get away with it, that's what u r dealing with.

Not that I know - Ur week in Strasburg liked it?

How we do the splite then

ok

This is an extract of President Alvezedo final address "With these measures on trade facilitation, agriculture and development, we have achieved something very significant. People all around the world will benefit from the package you have delivered here today: the businesses community; the unemployed and the underemployed; the poor; those who rely on food security schemes; developing country farmers; developing country cotton growers; and the least-developed economies as a whole. But beyond that: we have reinforced our ability to support growth and development; we have strengthened this organization; and we have bolstered the cause of multilateralism itself."
But to be absolutely honest I m not done with all the documents and it would be good if we could share the task, let me know who has got time (documents are here) I don't see how the worse off ot the middle class in developped economies will benefit from that round...
However a small group of countries — Cuba, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Venezuela — have also recorded serious reservations about what they considered to be imbalances in the package in favour of richer countries, and the absence of provisions barring discrimination in the form of trade embargoes on goods in transit.
It may be the sign it is more balanced than at first sight. I'll check tonight to find out how we share the task if it is alright with u

With all due respect as usual I very much doubt that....

I don't know for sure but to me that's how I'd put it. The Court should go ahead with it as the facts are yes the course of justice was altered, no doubt, and no, think the debate around it will prove that, the state's secrecy laws goals were not to alter the course of justice it is rather an unintended consequence. That said, if, as a result the private parties involved cannot be anymore prosecuted and that, because the state secrecy laws involved have prevented the due course of justice to do so, there can be little doubt that the state which provided unwillingly but actively a shelter to these private parties will have to take up the role they can have in a legal suit both because the state laws provided a shelter to any private parties involved in wrong doing but overwhelmingly because it fell to act to prevent the unintended consequence to become permanent.

Well could have but I always wait for my last candle to go off and it was then a bit late

I know I have read except for Acuta think I got the wrong IP

Not bad really

Tomorrow taking place in Strasbourg (France):

Round-table event to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Council of Europe Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities

The Council of Europe Advisory Committee on the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities will hold a high-level round-table event on Monday, 25 November 2013, to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Framework Convention.

It is hoped that this intensive session will provide a dynamic forum to discuss how to ensure that minority issues continue to have a high profile on the political agenda and contribute to maintaining peaceful democratic societies in Europe.

Link to the programme 
Link to the list of participants 

France will not be represented and not a word will be said about the situation of the minorities under French administration that could greatly benefit from both the FCNM and the ECRML. Sadly, instead of discussing the prioritisation of the urgencies connected to their situation, they are left dealing with how to express their frustration.

m not sure think her name is Pukkeenegak but m not sure if you write a card for them check.

Hopefully they will come on the 25th and you will see Aguta and his wife have some very funny stories.

I just happened to think it took place in many different places that are may be were remote, no kids easily forget that when officials from the city came to visit the school everyone had to be out of the classroom, standing silently on the playground as the officials were leaving after the visit with the elected locals every kid know walking right behind and doing all kinds of faces and obscene gesture while a small crowd of locals outside school are smiling and clapping hands on the French officials way out, leaving very happy to see they are so much appreciated.... with every kid knowing they are clapping the obscene gestures made in their back...keeping it quiet with a straight face. u know it was good training.
Never talked of that with the others but I guess they have had the same. Today this is gone.

what day you fly?

He's sulking since he will have to withdraw money from his bank account.... :-)))

We did but u can't win + u r late. If the guy had been of Laos descent, alright his passport would say French citizenship - Europe, describing the suspect to warn the public of dangerosity and collect information you would do what?
We even thought of another kind of security issue, let's say a small kid has disappeared and you decide to best describe the kid to collect as fast as possible information to find him, would you yes or no mention his ethnicity if it would help identify him faster?

Alright but you don't define citizenship when responding to a security crisis and describing a suspect, if you bow to pressure and give into political correctness you put lives at risk and that is just another example, it is not the first of its kind but still

u r a cheat but it doesn't work everybody agreed they bowed to political pressure and that is off limits the political playground

no no no more spin... it is a done deal

I know u r tight but :-))) no matter what you will have to give the money come on

well you lost and you will have to pay

No kidding, these are official bets all dues to be paid in Strasburg. Right now we have Bowed to political pressure 6/1, Who is the first ever French Press will grill to find the truth as to why such a terrible mistake exposing the public to a dangerous criminal was made the French President is at 10/1 Valls is at 6/1 Nobody as usual 1.1/1.

Ok I will collect my dues in Strasburg.

Eager to find the truth the question is who is going to be grilled first?

I guess the Press is going to pressure big time everybody involved in the call for witness to find the truth as to how such a mistake endangering every member of the public was made to define a suspect with a criminal record of cop killer accomplice appearing on so many surveillance cams.

Why r u? It looks very much comparable with Merah's rampage and the circumstances around the suspected military personnel and quite frankly it all depends if it is a mistake and just a mistake or if the public was deliberately abused and exposed for political motives... I know what you think but I don't know yet given he was a cop killer accomplice why they would willingly bow to political pressure now it doesn't explain why a cop killer accomplice appearing on several surveillance tape has not been identified sooner?
Your take?  how much ?

Yes I do. Why? It doesn't come to me as a surprise.

Best deal may come with a flight from Oslo to Frankfurt

Through Germany I guess - I'll have a look - Through GOH - RKV KEF - CPH but doesn't come cheap

It gives you a few days to go there given you have a plan to fly to Strasburg for the FCNM 15th anniversary, they can look for the best deal if you don't mind a couple of connections.

I don't know about that I know the Sami Nation still does since in some remote areas there are no broadband and the satellite would be costly so the radio still good.

Well they were very good to me when I first visited and ever after, you will like it.

it was about the new quotas and a change to take into account the new legislation so a stake was sold, u can find it on the website and anyway a legislation very similar applies on mainland.

Undercurrent tracks it

Seen anything new

Well I guess they got a good deal out of it even if it will make their life a little more complicated however it depends a lot of the policies in place not to mention the security ressources increase a new population engaged in mining will make mandatory but... Have no objection though the more you get the better, it is always interesting.

When do u plan to leave, do you plan a halt at GreenLand?

no a ceiling... why

I believe it should have been done, it is much better than allegations that ultimately insinuate that there is a countless number of people that can be incriminated at least suspected to read the headlines involved according to the allegations which is absolutely unacceptable when based on one isolated incident, one facebook page and one suspected headline of a paper with as far as I know a relative confidential distribution.

And the answer to that is yes... so what should have been done is ask the minute guys to come on air, no insult, no allegations, to explain themselves with two essential things people want to know given these folks have a future together, if they don't, they don't have to but if they do have a future in the same society they will have to talk and understand each other.
1)Your front page has caused a controversy, what is it that you wanted to say with these headlines?
2)Let's be honest did you ignore there was a risk of misunderstanding,? You took that risk why?
And the People will judge.

Told you, you could have had let's say another lady you heard of, Mrs Precresse instead of Mrs Taubira with the exact same headlines and what you have to ask is can you have the same common understanding of the headlines incriminated for the two ladies regardless of the photo you are looking at?

I know I heard it but it doesn't work that way

No kidding...

What do u mean by wh? Well, he was able to say a few words in Hebrew without losing any of his frenchness it should pave the way to prove that a few words in Corsu, Euskaraz and Brezhoneg  won't no more lead to any Frenchness loss...

I did I did it proves there is hope...!!!

No I haven't and m even a bit late but will try to catch up this we.

well let's see the documents all together and how we manage

May be do u have more tomorrow?

I don't know since it hasn't been part of the program as its main focus was to explain all the positive outcome to expect from the ECRML and FCNM implementation not only on the Nat Minorities but on society at large and given the situation on the economy.

U will never get through Uncle Sam's checkpoints, it won't work

:-))) don't think it will fly if you print a Provisory Scandinavian Passport....!!!

Still a lot but it depends on how much help we can get, for the Norsemen it is more difficult since the French have said in the passed and I doubt they would change that, they don't match the UN definition of a Native Nation even though their land is called Normandy it doesn't mean anything and can't therefore be on the UN list of Native Nations to be decolonised. They come from Scandinavia may be a long time ago but it is not a Nation if they don't like it they can go home. If some want to how they do that?

How did it go?

alright same time

You have it right now tell me how much though if we go for both lawsuits

I know but I bet they did it unpurpeous, only racists will connect Black with the fruit banana and the monkey thing all the others will connect for the monkey part with a very common place in French about someone very good at cutting corners to get things done and having the banana with someone upbeat to not mention literally the male state of excitement.

That's because it's in French... If u like it is rather gross and unusual in politics but close to What's up ...?  My D... u know what I mean and in that case the banana is the D... do u get it?

They will all look stupid, all of them and I think this is what it was designed for and sadly it worked.

What's for you tomorrow

I have made pretty good progress and the data returned from DC looks ok

Doubt that, I suspect they set the elements for the French politicians to fall in a trap of their own making, they will publish in a couple of days or don't know if it is a daily or weekly thing the same front page with the exact same headline but another politician photo, it won't spark anything and they gonna embarrass everybody saying the first front page was only racist for the racists since the headline was she's smart and upbeat in popular terms. Terrible people.
But terrible politicians as well, my goodness, what a bunch of dummies!
Anyway how many left you have?

No kidding, u mean of that paper the minute guys

Have they? There was something in the FT yesterday, can't believe it for a paper hardly read I'd think

I m not sure that's what it meant but....

Just wondering.

Good. When u r done do u plan to make a pit stop at Faroe?

Alright how did it go?

That's ok saw the question mark and wondered. How is the weather ?

Unless you want to change anything but that is the essence of it and what for we'd like an opinion understanding, if the law did damaged ie the collective and or the individual rights to speak.....all of the above.... it does open the door for the Court to compensate individuals and with an inquiry when it comes to evaluate the consequences of state economic policies that have damaged the local economic sectors that play key roles in sustaining the considered Native Nation or Nat Minority.

All the other countries have made the choice to make equality before the law a positive right. You don't want that belong to a Native Nation ( ie FCNM as National Minority) plays a role before the law and you don't want the law to negatively impact the collective and individual rights of a Nation or Nat Minority to speak its language, celebrate its culture and mind the underlying economy that sustain it. This is what he will expose in Oslo since everybody agreed on that at the latest Caledonia meeting.

They may... but the end game will be the Human Rights understanding of the EU Court and that is equality cannot be turned into a weapon against any Native Nation whether this Native Nation is under French administration or not. But guess what we'll have a confirmation soon when he is done with the meetings.

No point... That I don't know since from a legal point they are in the western world rather isolated to understand equality as being eventually a negative right.

I doubt he will, he's in Oslo for the next few days for meetings with law firms to check the costs. I don't know about that.

hum... no told u. There isn't any, what they have is the classic competition of interests between the Native Nations and Immigrant's interests and that confrontation, depending on economic conditions is more or less intense... u know they have a bit of a messy situation because for political gains they involve a racism dimension to it that doesn't exist instead of having an orderly debate over the Native Nations Rights, the ECRML, the FCNM and an appropriate Immigration policy on the other hand minding the knowledge Immigrants need to have of the Native Nations history and rights.

well... may be but why should you?

Due to what?

Not that I know or heard of, they don't have any.... it is all about political gains rather than any true problem with a well organised clandestine racist organisation

Alright. The chatter says it was and it looks to be another major security failure.

It's all a matter of where you are....:-)) It was Independance Day march in Warsaw and despite a call from President Komorovsky urging Poles to celebrate this day together not one against the other the outcome score wise is slightly higher than in Paris, 210 arrested, 14 or so police cars burnt down and violent clashes erupted all along between marchers some supporting Independance, others opposing the march calling them fascist... and both fighting with the police. Half of the people taken into custody are said to be foreigners mainly German leftists.
So altogether...

No idea why they do their job like that ... I guess it has to do with politics

No, I don't but will tomorrow but generally speaking if it can be connected to any far right or so called extremist organisation or individuals (keep in mind the tattoos involved to arrest some folks during Merah's rampage) Press is quick to relay it when Al Qaida or related individuals is involved, suspects IDs are withheld and no reference are made to a potential connection with extremists... We'll see

Don't think so, they have an economy in a terrible state which is pushing a wide range of people over the edge and quite frankly some may turn extremist but the overwhelming majority can't stand anymore the amount of money spent on and by politicians regardless of the economic situation and level of taxation and what is making it worse is they are regularly insulted for these views considered extremists and fascist specially when it comes to politicians wages, ordinary folks are just disgusted and given the refusal of debate about these subjects, it turns sour.

They also haven't been able to solve some very old outstanding matters regarding the native Nations and their status the result is what you saw... There are websites speaking of the Breizh regiments and how they were poorly treated during that war mainly it looks they didn't speak at all or very little french. Do u need the DNS?

I don't buy it... No idea under which theme u may find it, it is a long time ago and when I came across it I wasn't at the time looking for it, can't even remember why it ended up in my hands but m pretty sure of it was a foundry

It deserves to be checked out but given the good knowledge of the potential troublemakers and active far right extremist militants the French police has, I would be surprised they could freely set up the French President the day of an official ceremony.... that would be a major failure and looking at the recent handling of demonstrations that were not allowed, it doesn't look credible that the hostile crowd on the Champs Elysees belonged to any extreme organised clandestine fascist organisation.
Have u found it?

Not sure yet but according to what's available this morning a demonstration took place on President's Hollande way to the november 11th ceremony at the Champs Elysees, it was organised (by Red Hoods the Breizh Nation movement) to protest the lack of truth related to a French foundry (located in the east part of France) that kept selling metals to German factories to make the shrapnel ammunitions used by German artillery (Congress library has a file over that company which I recall was part of the De Wendel empire but u should check if u can access it today) for at least two years after the conflict began and the strong priority with which the Breizh regiments were sacrificed.
According to others, far right militants were responsible for the incidents that took place this morning but not quite plausible until proved otherwise.
A small city south of France may have seen a terrorist attack during the november 11th ceremony, officials were attacked during the ceremony, two had to be hospitalised suffering several knife wounds although not life threatening according to witnesses. One man arrested but his iD has not been released and no mention of far right involvement accusation, very usual under these circumstances which points to a terrorist event by default.
If u get the name of that foundry, let me know despite my efforts can't recall the exact name and location.

It is a many to many relationship. And if u had an hidden condition field?

Why is that? It shouldn't be. Not as far as I know since from Corsica to Breizh the idea that it is ok to sacrifice the Native Nations long term interests whether these interests are linguistic or cultural directly supported or not by the underlying economy has died. Once we have cleared the filings with the legal firm I don't mind having a look at that but right now the priority remains with the legal people to make sure they have all they need. But in short, there look to be an overwhelming majority of these native populations convinced the French state has never acted in their best interests, has compromised their future with policies denying them cultural and linguistic rights whose goals were to undermine the underlying economy making sure their dependency would grow. It took time but they now fully understand what has happened to them and they will sustain a long and steady fight to get the ECRML and the FCNM fully signed, ratified and implemented as the future of their kid's rights are at stake.
But guess what that's my most recent findings but I will check once the filings are over.

Don't mind... well to be honest, as long as the Breizh Nation rights will not be respected and will continue to be deprived of the FCNM protection, sporadic violence is to be expected at every challenging difficulty, the contrary would be surprising. Of course, it is sad since those engaged in these events are under extreme circumstances the state is responsible for and not only they will be punished but will receive another row of threats and the all thing will be used to justify the refusal of any protective status for the Native Nation Breizh. I mean business as usual, u know.

Why anyway?

Haven't been able to get much but it looks that the the tax proceeds recovered for the use of the local road network will be paid back to the territorial authorities managing taxable roads minus extraordinary management costs (close to 25%)  cheating them and refusing them the tax management. The Native Nation Breizh is leading the fight towards fiscal autonomy and wants to be able to manage the proceeds but wants to be able as well to decide who pays the tax and who doesn't explaining that a significant part of local taxes paid by local companies are already funding the local roads maintenance and transport infrastructures  which create a competitive distortion to the disadvantage of local companies and farmers. It looks that the transport infrastructures and roads maintenance costs included in the local taxes are not identified as such making complicated  a discount. The Breizh Nation wants to be able to manage the tax to be able to deliver free cards to the companies and farmers that have been so far the only net contributors to fund the creation of infrastructures, roads and their maintenance.

He wasn't very precise but among the shareholders of the company that should benefit from extraordinary management costs, there is the SNCF which should benefit to help fund the aging railway network.... 

That's all I got.

So what... It doesn't matter, it isn't an argument if they want say that, they do... of course we r out for the money what else... + legal team will be dealing with that kind of nasty comments if it does show up and will be added to the bill.

I don't share that opinion. They are (french politicians) responsible for the vacuum they created and when mixed with the contempt they show frequently for the nation's souls, it leads to political confusion. U know without ever saying it clearly, explaining the motives short and long term interests at stake as well as strategy guiding their thinking and actions, by giving up the state currency and regularly pushing for more sovereign concessions to the EU, they have given up on their national brand, they have given up on their nation building ideal. Their followers are confused since it questioned not just the citizenship but also the identity of those that made of their citizenship their identity. U know think it was when the meeting took place in Caledonia, I said something about the risk there was for those ending up with an identity that is dissolving itself because the sovereign they identify with is engaged in a project to dilute itself and its citizenship in a bigger entity only minding the legal aspects of the transformation.... U get what I mean? Those confused by that then are made available for political adventures that's why the FCNM plays such an important role for many in Europe.

Think we already discussed that as far as I can remember and I haven't encountered since any argument leading to a review of how I look at it... why?

May be not but it is a very different place to be in charge and responsible of your own cultural heritage and what you do with it. The People is then on a very different footing, that's what does the FCNM turn the People into an actor of its own destiny and it affects a lot more than just culture or the use of the national language. It doesn't change on a false promise with borrowed money life but it definitely changes how you look at it, you are not anymore in a childish relation with the state under which the nation is administered and whoever represents it. The expected new relation marked by the mutual respect of the long term interests and the new tone of the dialogue in itself is part of the recipe to watch a renewed optimism and a new dynamic in the nation's economy.
It doesn't happen overnight I guess,  but that's the idea behind it. Anyway, where do u stand with the data?

As always there are two sides with their own ups and downs but what I did to make up my mind was to stick as much as possible to the most simple facts and what is right and wrong without any prejudgment of the effects too often biased.

My conclusion was without a doubt that the FCNM and the ECRML have a lot more more upside than downside, make a major contribution to peace and are the best remedy against all forms of extremism and their often violent subcultures.

In most cases, the ratification of these conventions has been the opportunity to underline the major contribution these native nations have made and the peace factor intervenes when the poor conditions under which they have lived is lifted as the conventions provisions are implemented and make progress. Simultaneously, extreme views and bitterness recede.

Are identity policies just wrong by themselves, either answer you choose, you are promised to end in the same place and that is how are you going to remedy the wrong identity policies of the passed, what they were whether you have answered positively to the first or witnessed the chaos in which these native nations find themselves dealing with a passed that once the state identity policies have said had no future? The most obvious is to consider, regardless of one's opinion of identity policies, what is the right thing to do to help these populations in dealing with their linguistic and cultural heritage in an interconnected society, securing their heritage future for the role it plays as a moderator and in the safety of their homeland.

That's what came to my mind but why did you ask? Don't know since I wasn't there but most of the time people that try to use the ambiguous designation of identity policies for the FCNM and the ECRML do it to throw dirt at it. Excluding partisanship these conventions pursue one goal which is to repair the wrong that has been done to a wide range of nations precisely under an identity policy umbrella when the long term negative consequences on the populations and their descent were ignored.

What's worrying you about it?

before I forget who is coming for the celebration? It may be an opportunity to collect more material that will help, m thinking of ECMI issues textbook on the "European Minority Regime" and depending on who will be there but some national material and research from Scandinavia may be available after a first contact.

It does as soon as u r ready

no I agree, it looks good it has never looked better, the folks have posted that for the first time they feel they have a chance to engage in a legal battle with a positive perspective to end decades of humiliation and spoliation. It is specially true that haven't been able to overcome the shame to be a speaker of a language with no future and to belong to a native nation the state in charge of its best and long term interests was openly and publicly neglecting when not egregiously mocking with assertions such as "we" being the state "will make a museum"... with a total disregard for the consequences of these words on the individuals and much worse given it was politicians on the national stage the consequences it had on the everyday life of those most exposed to the rest of the population  whose behaviours very much influenced by national stage leaders opinions expressed on tv thought and still think it allows nasty comments on these native languages, cultures and people...

Just chatting

R u done with it, I mean completely? If not that's ok there is no hurry for now since they are still in the process to select a law firm which make me think of what's your take on that? I haven't said much about it just mentioned that my preference goes to a Norway firm. They have the same understanding of the right and wrong saving the explaining and making sure we don't end up with people that do understand the legal challenges but don't necessarily get the moral issues and the consequences on individuals that belong to these minorities and how it undermines their life and their abilities something that can't be measured easily as it is different for every individual. In other words what crossed my mind and I think we'll see that argument, the negative policies, the lack of it (FCNM & ECRML) or a combination of both for that matter should have undermined everybody if they are to be incriminated denying the very personal dimension of how resonate for every individual the above. So given that, dealing with people that already agree but more, have thought it through a long time ago. It should be saving time and help secure quality.

Now, I am not quite sure  of what you meant. Let's say you have developed a strategic partnership in a highly sensible field with someone. If you had the capability, what would be the limits you give yourself to protect that asset given that your partner in this strategic alliance is a human that can have weaknesses, that can be lobbied, may have to deal with new players following political landscape changes and face a wide range of influences not always motivated by good? Again if you had the capability, would you investigate who's who trading with your partner in that strategic alliance, their motivation and pedigree even if to find out about them you have first to, let's say, invade some of your partner's privacy keeping in mind you are not interested in what's going on within that privacy other than protect your own investment by knowing as precisely as possible who can or wish to harm it? To be honest I would and think most would. Is it what you were asking me?

Not that I know

I do but it is ok

Well I mean what did you expect? Liberals were going to say that.... but let me tell you that is not the way I look at it and I don't know yet but my bet is I won't be alone.... (by the way how much) Tea Party fought with everything they had courageously in the face of a powerful administration and the billionaires liberal news elite promising an economic armageddon. They want to say Tea Party lost well, Tea Party didn't not fight for Tea Party but for the American People they represent in Congress, is there pride at squeezing a minority in Congress, the American People may not like that and Mid Term elections coming next year will tell. Sen Cruz took the stand and he did it courageously and I'd say he took a serious option at being a possible front runner for the Tea Party in the next Presidential election. Now there can be only one winner and that is the American People if finally the deficit cone under control and the overall debt stops to increase which is not the case yet and finally if the Affordable Care Act doesn't turn into an ever increasing premiums race worse than it has ever been. Again time will tell.

no it doesn't matter we have time, can't wait for the final results after the first set you mention that were confirming what everybody expect anyway the convention and the Charter are a life changer for the folks.

Are you done with the data?

no kidding me!!!! I meant it is certainly not the native speakers of the languages that come under the ECRML protection or those who wish to be able to enjoy their culture that come under the FCNM protection that oppose the ratification is it???

How many Euskadi native there is in the french parliament?

think it will be Sen Reid

You will face opposition anyway.... I mean who today oppose the ratification and implementation certainly not elected natives the few you can find in the french parliament regardless of which nation they are from

Senate conference

No but you know how it is it will be for the Court on a case by case basis but right now whoever made poor decisions even in their personal life under the circumstances provoked by the policies the French state is engaged in regarding the minorities both the FCNM and the ECRML should be protecting, will now be able to engage in a Lawsuit as we have enough to compare with the minorities that are under the protection of the two conventions.

Thanks it looks really good, it is what I expected but it is great news, it is going to widen big time the horizon of the lawsuits.

Yes I do and why I like the Constitution that is so unique in the entire world. The Law needs the President's signature while the President can't dictate what the Law should be. A so unique guarantee that the majority of the elected Congress, the Government of the People, will not see imposed by the executive branch any decision against the People's will. Kicks in the second guarantee, the President can veto the law should a very large majority in the Government neglect strongly the minority in the Government and the interests of the People they represent.

actually flooring

Difficult to say u would have to go through the archives to find out what's easy to find is how it was solved after a 5 days partial shutdown of the nonessential federal services, the deal reached allowed for 75-percent funding for four weeks, and President Clinton agreed to a seven-year timetable for a balanced budget which addressed the root causes of the deficits.
There is common sense in such a deal since raise the debt limit without addressing the underlying imbalance between revenue and spending is only the promise to increase the debt today and tomorrow. If you add to that the funding of part of the welfare programs with debt, you have the recipe for in the future probably sooner than later the promise of a massive tax increase to face the debt created by the funding of these entitlements AND the promise of even a bigger cut in these programs when finally the bill kicks in and society finds out it isn't free. I don't know, I remember that you frequently supported creative social legislations but I haven't change my mind really about it, I oppose systematically any social spending that isn't funded in a balanced budget, Greece is the most recent example and there are plenty more, when finally the bill kicks in the beneficiaries of these programs are asked to pay for it and they can't.
Have you found the archives u were looking for? 

don't think so but I think the data will show when we're finished that not just the FCNM does what it was designed for, which is to protect cultures, languages and the rights of the native speakers to do so in every aspects of their life, it looked at fist sight at the data, the crossing should confirm, that the simple fact the FCNM is signed, adopted, ratified and implemented has an effect on the native speakers not just collectively which it does but also individually. The enlightenment that follows for those individuals propping them to a greater comfort and self confidence improves considerably their chances to succeed whatever they pursue. As a matter of fact, nothing new really if you read all the debate around the FCNM and its adoption but that set of data could be key to observe that the lack of status for the native speakers doesn't just undermine the right to collectively use a language in every aspect of life but it more directly undermine the native speakers prospects in every area of life in ways denied today.

Check this out, was a different situation but well u know "

Clinton Vetoes Borrowing Bill -- Government Shutdown Nears As Rhetoric Continues To Roil followed a shut down from the date the article was published until November 19th and a couple of days later technical problems with the borrowing limit were possible "The government's authority to borrow will also be depleted, probably Wednesday, although moments after the veto Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin took emergency steps to avoid defaulting on the nation's debt."

Well you see it isn't the first time and it didn't prevent President Clinton at the time to veto the bill he didn't like despite the risk of default so the accusation of playing with fire isn't appropriate, is it?

What have u read today?

Nope, the House is in recess but Senate is debating, m watching and by the way ru?

Haven't done much of it today, how is doing the key tables format

She's a great American isn't she? She made me laugh when she went "whoooo we contain government....", guessed she underlined that she thinks likes us can like appearances and simple thinking even if we don't. Though far from underestimating the consequences of a shut down, if it is what it takes to get everybody around the table to address the root causes of the spiraling debt, it is worth it may say Tea Party and depending on how it is worded because it shouldn't be insensible, it can be understood. Would you?

She's quite somebody the lady, no, haven't seen her before

Who did you watch, I saw Chairwoman Mikulski and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

I know, I have crossed the first ten for the FCNM state reports manually and will forward it to u tomorrow.
Have been watching the floors at some point but what most surprised me are alleged reactions coming from China and other foreign investors in Treasuries, am I wrong or I don't get it, what do u say? As a significant holder of US debt, what would worry me most would be to see that no one is watching the debt spiral and a neurasthenic Congress voting debt ceiling increase after increase with no protest at all. There is something definitely reassuring in the debate opposing the White House and the House Majority, of course there is as always a downside to it as well but with in mind there was no Tea Party likes in Greece to say STOP and the fiscal and debt level have very little in common anyway but still, it is a fact that at the height of the fight to defend the US credit worthiness and actual Treasuries holders interests, the House Majority by its action whose goal is to tackle the deficits and spiraling federal spending looks to me the best guarantee for investors that a significant part of the Government is committed to long term solvency and very active to insure the budget is sound and fiscal responsible.
Didn't it cross your mind, I mean as an investor if I see a bunch of yes guys voting let's borrow more, spend more, it should worry me, not the contrary?

just eager to see how it ranks, have some guess in mind but if the data confirms well

I do understand the President's office authority argument but I don't look at members of Congress any member with contempt whatever view they express. I tend to view all the institutions as one serving the People, everyone deserving respect.
One's fear the unsustainable level of indebtedness confiscating the political future and promising a record level of taxes changing the nature of the free enterprise economy can let her or him think a chosen and orderly debt restructuring with structural reforms reducing federal spending and non essential programs be a lesser risk worth the pain in the best interest of the People's Freedom shouldn't be viewed as extreme. There is a legitimacy to ask prior to any authorization of more borrowing the plan for a budget and the set of spending policies to be adopted addressing the situation that lead to reach the debt limit.
Would have it change the terms if the leadership had laid out the longer term plan for the budget slim down addressing the issues that lead to reach the debt limit something that shouldn't have happened prior to ask Congress to increase the borrowing limit?
By the way do you know if Congress has ever passed a piece addressing volunteer duties training, organisation and related insurance issues? Was thinking of closed Memorials and in case hard times were to last, m pretty sure Vet volunteers would be glad to maintain these sites open though it has to be done in an orderly fashion and security issues addressed.
How is it going with the data?

this is extorsion... but alright go for it

two WE free of charge with my now finished racer leaving u to pay for the gaz and the transport though u kill the engine u get me one

Not that I know but given u haven't been recalled yet as far I know and can access the data and the network so  we can enter talks....

Can u do me a favor http://widgets4.weforum.org/ is the heat map, crossed with the FCNM state reports ranked for the most advanced economies with the OCDE key tables in Education, Economics, Environment and Health? Development for the others?

no idea yet

Just checked again and it is 11/25th to the 29th.

I guess the surprise is who it comes from as usually you expect from someone teaching in a university to at least know the bottom line, there are no flaws, The Founding Fathers had an extensive knowledge of man kind, no illusion and a petty opinion of the powerful today called the top both the top they knew and the top they expected. Thought everybody knew.... to understand the Constitution you have to read the federalist papers and the letters they wrote to one another, the philosophy behind is not just about tyranny that is for sure a flawed understanding of the Founding Fathers will.... They knew a new kind of powerful would eventually emerge making their way and grabbing one by one the joysticks of power while step by step confiscating the People Freedoms and Rights, they knew the powerful would be again in a situation to govern against the People's interests. So yes the Bill of Rights and the Constitution were written and adopted with in mind the future and steps to insure the balance of powers would ultimately stay on the People's side. Why these men chose to decide that the People has more wisdom than the top remains a mystery but that is where they wanted the power to be whether or not that cause or can cause some headaches to the top is frankly very very secondary. Since the Founding Fathers were at some point the powerful and the top, their expertise of the possibility of the lack of wisdom and credibility at the top is not only precious but help to understand why they wanted the Constitution to be a powerful tool to fight the top's order and why there is a possibility for the legislature to deny the funds the Gov wants.
Would you agree on that  and what are your plans r u still coming for the FCNM celebrations?

I was honestly more probably due to the fact he looks sincere when exposing his motive to declare the Constitution flawed... but may be he just never read the Federalist papers u know

First time

have u heard before I meant

wondered at first how he made his way to the forum but I guess all opinions are welcome what have u been up to?

actually I laughed to start with cause I thought it was some crazy extremist arsehole but then I saw he's teaching in Princeton....

just wondering have you had the time to read that one? http://forumblog.org/2013/10/is-the-united-states-fatally-flawed/

He got back home just on time for the shut down....  Meanwhile, they went to a conference in Strasburg on september the 26th regarding the outstanding success on the language policies implemented and illustrating “that the European Charter has been an important contributor for the protection and the promotion of minority languages in the Nordic countries”. The European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages has become a useful instrument for the safeguard and development of human rights in the everyday life of the citizens there with in mind the latter (m posting the link to it, but the page I guess you guys want to have a look at is p12. Talking points were Euskadi and Corsica as well as another couple of nations including Breizh that can't be held back the way they are today. The set of policies adopted and implemented in the North of the continent have proved to be outstanding success as confirmed by the WF new index, the political football at the expense of these nations and their long term interests has to end.

not sure when but I guess he'll catch up to Faifield sometime next week. will let u know as he posts.

Would the Founding Fathers shake their heads? I guess it is rather candid but I believe they 'd be delighted at the idea to witness YET another generation of Americans aged today 12 to 29 or may be 10 to 27 to find out there is a life with non essential federal services shut down, a growth of Government I often wonder they'd be supportive of at least as long as the Constitution and America's security isn't endangered. Of course, the economy matters and a default wouldn't do any good to anybody but question the legitimacy of members of Congress taking seriously unfunded spending in non essential federal services only harm entirely the People's Congress, they deserve the credit to courageously stand for their principles and ideals that built this great country they today serve. In their decision to upheld the will to see Congress adopt a balance budget, they are the promise of a decent future and a healthy economy no matter how unpopular the view that the Government cannot successfully in the long term be a wealth redistributor be.

You have it here, I mean the declaration although PM Rajoy spoke Spanish but the official website is in the right language http://www.xunta.es/portada.
Goberno y institucions don't have the right keyboard section is very good and language matters it says about coma o francés ou o catalán– e é o resultado da evolución do latín introducido polos romanos no noroeste da Península Ibérica.
No, u can there is a castellano version of the site lookup in the upper right top of the page, you can switch.
lavanguardia.com is tracking the story and publish today El conductor: "La he jodido, me quiero morir" which is very disturbing and will raise questions.
Still early in the investigation but mental health looks more and more involved and the cause of the catastrophe.
Well what can I say... u know them... they can't do a decent job because they r involved in politics and propaganda not Press, they are haunted with what they do to Corsica, Breizh, Euskadi and others, everybody else in Europe made other choices and... it is for everybody to witness when something like that happens, stick to lavanguardia.com and official Junta de Galicia websites.
What do u mean? Journalists have just like everybody else management and to some extent management decide what can be said and how it can be said, step aside and they will get you, sorry but that's how the system works and so does the Press. Free Press is no different than the Bill of Rights, you always find a bunch with good reasons to challenge the half a loaf, with no bread at all you will feel better when we give a toast.... :-))) I mean that's the bottom line.

Since the progress made to solve the institution in charge and how it secures the best interests of the People by caring more for the People than for an abstract delirious view of the "country" too often seen which is solved through the legal writing of its legal missions and the legal framework within the autonomous status of the Nation. As well the relations with the other institutions can make a decisive contribution on how safeguarding the Heritage will not only shield the next generation but it will serve its best interests. Speaking of it is interesting to have a look at this page http://www.edu.xunta.es/web/

The railway network in Spain is equipped.... which network r u watching?
"Para evitar que los trenes vayan más rápido de lo que deben existen los sistemas de seguridad que aseguran la intercomunicación entre los trenes y las vías. En España existen dos de estos sistemas: el European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) y el Aviso de Señales y Frenado Automático (ASFA). El ERTMS es el más moderno y seguro. Está instalado en todas las vías de alta velocidad y también en los tramos de cercanías de los grandes núcleos urbanos. La versión más avanzada de este sistema no sólo advierte al tren de que circula más rápido de lo autorizado en cada tramo, sino que además lo frena automáticamente para que no supere la velocidad autorizada y se adecue a la señalización." vanguardia.com http://www.lavanguardia.com/sucesos/20130726/54378124102/accidente-tren-santiago-expertos-cadena-posibles-errores-tecnicos-humanos.html

Haven't but BBC's journalist there speaks well Castellano even if to joke we have been wondering why instead of Como te sientos he didn't say Y usted como se siente when interviewing a bystander, but that was for the hell of it. U'll be amazed but lavanguardia.com has even got that today http://www.lavanguardia.com/gente/20130726/54378884387/encausa-autores-topless-robado-kate-middleton.html letting people expect more court action if messing around with the baby.

Not much and no video close enough of the wreckage yet
23.55 h "Oímos una explosión muy fuerte. La gente se preguntaba incluso si era una bomba, porque mañana es el día grande en Santiago y esta noche eran los fuegos artificiales", explica un testigo a 20minutos.
22.21 h "La gente se preguntaba incluso si era una bomba porque mañana es el día grande en Santiago. Era una locura. Cuando me he ido habían sacado al menos a 10 personas muertas", relata este testigo a 20minutos.

Unclear if Oimos are passengers or bystanders.

A little more precise about the explosion comes from a direct witness but no video yet to confirm
"Alén Pérez, fotógrafo y corresponsal de un diario deportivo, se encontraba en las proximidades a la hora del accidente. "Oímos una explosión muy fuerte. Todo el mundo fue corriendo. Vimos el tren descarrilado, mucha gente sangrando y un vagón que había salido despedido lejos de los otros", explicaex por teléfono a 20minutos."

Not yet but, we should have it soon Not that I know but they have a unit called Policía y técnicos de infraestructuras ferroviarias that hasn't ruled out anything which speaking of has just been confirmed by Galicia official MR Samuel JUAREZ, El delegado del Gobierno en Galicia, Samuel Juárez, ha insistido en que será una investigación judicial la que "dirima las causas" concretas que han conducido al accidente de un tren en las proximidades de Santiago y ha aclarado que por el momento no se descarta "ninguna hipótesis".

this is a shorter version and can u take the time to have a look at it and post what you prefer, minus 60sec and it would help set the desired lengh of the clip for the challenge I meant, my preference goes to 2'30" or close to....?

Truly, u r a mayor, ur invited on national tv even if it is a cable news network, what would you ask I mean, please I answer thoroughly political questions and please give me the opportunity to talk about the best of my city and a couple of minutes to explain why companies will find a paradise for business, outstanding infrastructures and the best way of life you can think of for staff and you come with a little clip such as what you have just seen. How to do it, there comes the new challenge starting September 1st to run until December 1st. All cities, regions and anything in between that make sense can compete. Juries will be set accordingly and all schools are in. Incentives : the (not sure of the name) French mayors association will deal with the Camcorder and camera industries to bulk buy the prizes the juries will need for local prizes, budgets are constrained so costs must be under tight scrutiny nonetheless, it is possible to have all schools in every city running for a very small budget, it must be a team work min 5 up to 10 with sound. The quality standard is set by Euskadi Basque country clips. Promote your City, Region or Country for Nat Minorities with the sound to be in that case only an old song remasterised for today's feel. So far, a ceremony will take place at the national level with all the winning teams, Francois will agree.... no kidding, he will say a few words in every Minority language for the special prizes expressing the pride he has to welcome in the capital the best of a new generation with a special mention for the best of the Nat Minorities that choose to remain within the French boundaries making him so proud. Incentives are to be discussed once you guys have set the geography and jury levels ending in the region of a grant allowing up to 10 teams to pursue studies in that field? Who has access to the population data, access codes have been reset.

Did post it why?
Don't think it is since the idea surfaced after that Nice's mayor thing which appeared to be so awkward given the circumstances.

Hi

Not yet but it should be on its way, the link you asked for is below, it is multilingual and subtitled in some instances.
http://www.coe.int/t/dg4/education/minlang/Source/webdocumentaire/flash_en.asp
The sustainability remains challenging as the underlying economy while a precondition doesn't fulfill the need for the leadership to be able to explain how in safeguarding the heritage you protect the future generations, not just the common wealth but the essential right to have a self independant thinking of the rights the heritage entitled to which will prove to be key in return in the protection of more immediate interests funding it.
In that regard a good piece of work can be found here Charter plays important role in human rights protection - Professor Stefan Oeter October 19th 2010 - (for now there is glitch with the link but we r lookin at clearin it).

It

is difficult to say exactly for now, although, if Bloomberg information is verified and that President Morales plane has been delayed, searched in violation of international laws, some people in the EU will find themselves on short term notice to leave whoever it may be.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-07-03/bolivia-says-morales-s-travels-entangled-by-snowden-hunt.html
Bloomberg also confirms that under no circumstances has the Pentagon ever asked for any such violation of international treaties and or conventions  "A U.S. defense official said last night the Pentagon didn’t ask North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies to deny overflight rights to the plane carrying Morales."
A political storm in the EU over the initiative is to be expected as certainly no government has such a mandate...

nope

he posted two sets of subjects for essays that run from the benefits of Extera Kultura to Corsica's songs, what influence in your life, written in Euskara and Corsu, set up a jury and distribute grants for the work to the kids once a year. Grants won't be big but they are working on how to renew since for the first year it is ok but... so far it is a one shot gun and to renew it it leaves work on how it is long term funded. What's ur take in between and how you guys have funded urs?

Just kidding, liked it?

hi

What did u think of how he wants to channel the grants?

July 16th 0800AM

All night from every village of Euskal Herria people have started to walk north joining a crowd of more than 1 million leaving the SanFerminak. Absolutely incredible but every road is full of people walking. Asked where all these epople were heading an old man replied "We have waited for too long, we are all moving to the northern part of our homeland, this is a right we should have used a long time ago. Look at me, what do you think can really scare me young man... I have a family, I gave them everything I could and today this can be the last thing I do for them, I don't know, but they will be inspired for generations to come whatever happens so I am walking north, this is my homeland I will be in Baoinan to celebrate Etxera." The crowd shouted Etxera, Etxera NOW.
Amazing.

Don't miss it

these kids are stunning;

TOUR DE FRANCE: WELCOME TO CORSICA - CORSICA IS NOT FRANCE 

On June 8th 2013, the Council of Europe General Assembly adopted the The progress of the Assembly’s monitoring procedure (June 2011-May 2012) calling among others France to sign and ratify 

• Protocol No. 12 to the European Convention on Human Rights (ETS No. 177) concerning the fight against discrimination;

to ratify 

• the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (ETS No. 148);

to sign and ratify

•  the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities (ETS No. 157);

Not just this call is much more interesting than the arguments between French Ministers and Brussel's Commission about what can be fueling the use of the right to vote angrily... but it is worth a debate as to why the parliament has only partial views on equality.

French National Assembly today :
"The ECB’s monetary policy “will stay accommodative for the foreseeable future,” Draghi said today in a speech at the French National Assembly in Paris. “We have an open mind about all other possible instruments that we may consider proper to adopt.” An exit is “very distant,” he said at a press conference.".../...
Mario's wisdom of the day, “Monetary policy cannot create real economic growth. If growth is stalling because the economy is not producing enough or because firms have lost competitiveness, this is beyond the power of the central bank to fix.” (No it isn't liked to his geographical presence, absolutely not)
With in mind that Monetary policy includes instruments such as eurobonds and any QE related to it although this is just my personal wisdom...

It can be of interest and at least a visit to this site can't hurt :
As the debate about the future of Europe gathers pace, the European Commission is reaching out to citizens by visiting towns across Europe and asking them directly for their views.

Upcoming dialogue – 30 June, Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg - You will be able to watch it live here
a) Europe as a solution to the crisis, b) My rights as a European citizen, c) The future of Europe
Website : http://ec.europa.eu/debate-future-europe/index_en.htm 

Brussels and its powers are regularly a cause for concerns and here is an opportunity as well as improve eventually one's knowledge of the EU institutions and their role.

When for the documents from Sweden?

Not that I know... cheap and uneducated (those remarks you read)... they are played most are. They are in pain over economic hardship and unemployment while challenged on the culture side but they experience problems to name their pain, understand the policies that cause it and for lots of them it is easier to turn to a party that say easy things and point fingers at politicians in charge... even if they don't have the answers almost every country has successfully implemented in the best interests of their Nat Minorities.

Well I don't know good to know he's back alright, his last tour anyway.

Alabama boy

French politicians are drama queens he just posted :-)))))

In the plan discussed an overwhelming majority of EU countries would support a first shot at Corsica, Euskadi and Breizh to stabilize the implementation of the FCNM and the ECRML.

You can have both but not at the same time.

Same mix culture war and economic hardship... but it is of little interest since the overwhelming majority isn't interested in a totalitarian regime, French politicians are just like kids playing with the dog...they have been told stop shaking the tail and pinch the ears but until the dog balks and shows teeth they keep doing it...

Appalling... 

Rather weird to mix the same ingredients and expect a different result...

Not that I know

Sweden state report.

Overblown but we don't know why.

What is it that you don't get clear?

An amendment to the Constitution with effect from 1 January 2011 recognized the Sami Nation as an indigenous People of Sweden and that did a great lot.

Immediate actions are stated as follows 
- Take steps to ensure that the Sami Parliament is able to participate effectively in decision-making processes in all areas affecting the Sami people, including public affairs such as spatial planning as well as the reindeer industry and educational and cultural matters;
- Redouble efforts to implement effectively the National Minorities Act among public service providers at local level in the municipalities concerned; pay particular attention to language training, language qualifications in public procurement procedures and targeted recruitment of minority language speakers; monitor the implementation of all measures and evaluate their effectiveness regularly in order to ensure that the linguistic rights of persons belonging to national minorities are fully respected;

Well, I wouldn't and won't be saying that since every gauge you can think of points for France that the so called prospering far right does so on the back of policies best illustrated with the most recent demonstration that took place in Bionan... The growing frustration among members of Nat Minorities because of the lack of education over their rights and lack of political offer to represent their interests lead to that.

Why can't you just access the resolution anyway?

Not that I know flying to GreenLand but said they will be back and on time at San Fermin. Think they also may try to meet representant of the Sami's Parliment as far as I know if they have enough time if not they will be back up there later in July.

Just wondering if you have access to it. The committee of ministers has adopted the resolution for Sweden CM/ResCMN(2013)2, follows "Two laws of particular importance to persons belonging to national minorities were adopted in 2009: the National Minorities and National Minority Languages Act (2009:724) and the Language Act (2009:600). These laws expand the geographical areas in which the Finnish, Meänkieli and Sami languages can be used in contacts with the administrative authorities and increase the opportunities for persons belonging to national minorities to have an impact in decision making on issues of concern to them. A new integrated strategy for national minorities, aimed at clarifying the responsibilities of national, regional and local authorities, was also adopted in 2009.

Sweden has enacted new comprehensive antidiscrimination legislation and established a single Equality Ombudsman empowered to deal with all grounds of discrimination covered by Swedish law. This should enable the Ombudsman to take better account of multiple discrimination. Sweden has also made commendable efforts to improve the prosecution of hate crimes.".../...The expansion of administrative areas under the National Minorities Act means that more children are entitled to pre-school activities in minority languages.

Can you get me the parliament debate transcripts? if not the Swedish Gov presentation supporting the legislation when it was introduced to lawmakers? 

From Press, a junior legislator teaming with a few is making props to restore confidence severely altered after some legislators got embroiled in a range of diverse fraud but Press mentions their colleagues in Parliament have not appreciated their initiative, pointing to there must be some truth in it, so just wondering what u got?

Just that strange thing about the French legislators, it looks that when they buy an office or a retail property to turn it into a campaign shop or a place to meet their constituents, they fund the mortgage payments through their expenses making a hefty profit when they pocket the sale of the property, none returning to the state, but it looks so outrageous that I just wonder??? Anything u know ?

No not much today except Ikastola to demonstrate this saturday in Baionan (Bayonne) @Seaskaikastola following the French administration to further harden its stance on Euskara teaching to prevent a new generation to learn their language and eventually claim the rights that goes with it.
Weather was pretty bad. Of course anytime a US President mentions someone else than Thomas Paine or Stuart Mill, I feel betrayed but I guessed it had to do with where he was so... anyway he can I mean it is just me I guess. By the way, who has Locke's now, I'd liked to have it back.
What do u have?

Someone wrote to Arcangues mayor http://yagg.com/2013/06/17/lettre-ouverte-dune-feministe-au-maire-darcangues-par-audrey-keysers/ and it is not to support him which is ok, nobody has to. What surprises me although is the tone. It is not friendly, there isn't one word of understanding for someone that has seen his feelings hurt for a very long time without the slightest sign from anybody for his pain. I don't for how long he has on Arcangues website welcome page a link to a words of his http://www.arcangues.fr/mairie/motdumaire/index.php where he wrote Iragan den urtei eta .../... eta sentutz betea. When I saw that I understood this man cannot not to have been hurt by the long time policies of neglect towards Minorities Languages. The letter addressed to him includes threats and points his lack of respect for the law and society at large but there isn't a word of understanding while explaining the same point of view but it would have changed everything, it would feel like a citizen writing to another citizen to disagree but sharing what characterizes a People the understanding of a deep pain even if it isn't shared.
I guess I will be soon reading from the author something truly interesting and lifesaving in favor of a sex offender public registry which is the only way to never allow again anyone to misplace trust and find herself alone in an unsecured area with a predator...

Just a little warm up, wait to be there

Get inspired

Noway, the French law is very clear on that one, you can be engaged in a PACS which is a kind of legally relaxed " civil marriage" with a partner female or male whether or not sexually involved looks to be however a private matter and  "marry under the new French Marriage law" another one, the awareness and declaration of a pre existing PACS is not mandatory sealing the case that under the new "Marriage" law you definitely have not a Marriage as commonly understood but a legal contract only.
Which is rather awkward really given that the state is asking its officers to be the official witnesses of a legal contract where one party can contract ignoring the other party is engaged in a similar contract...
I guess the Arcangues Mayor and others are founded to express concerns...
But sure it would be an Euskaraz of a lifetime, guess what a week after after San Fermin.

I'll be dying for that one, an Arcangues Euskarazen featuring Hesian, Vendetta, Gatibu and En Tol Sarmiento to celebrate Etxera.

Not that I know and it isn't smart anyway... Engage in teaching monkeys to do faces and it will see you end up learning... but true I am amazed it doesn't deter people from trying :-). By the way it seals the case you were wrong it looks

Since?

What was that post about anyway?

Not sure it was to inspire Arcangues Euskarazen 2013, but to find out it requires to ask Hesian http://www.eitb.com/eu/bideoak/osoa/1322874/araba-euskaraz-2013-bideoklipa/ . Would Hesian come to Arcangues if its Mayor'd ask... well think it looks like a great prospect for an outstanding
Euskaraz 2013

Have never seen Arcangues Euskaraz Lip Dub just wondering if it does bigger, have looked but can't find any video of it, do they do one sometime? Think we'll see the biggest ever this year.

You are not going to be very popular for a while http://blogs.mediapart.fr/blog/legaytapant/130613/cher-monsieur-colo-maire-d-arcangues-vous-ne-pouvez-pas Press says you have decided to remain silent now and two ladies have stepped up. You know I have thought a lot about you and why someone that had no desire to find himself there, is. The answer is rather simple in a way, answer what does make you so uncomfortable with the situation and lead someone that never thought he would be with such a dilemma is, what triggered it? Words?
In an ideal situation, the separation between Churches and State would result in the Law to never borrow a religious word such as Marriage given the expected confusion and unnecessary controversial debate it will inevitably sparkle.

When the Law borrows a word from the religious toolbox it not only borrow the spelling but all the emotional, spiritual and memories that word inspires. So, is your reaction political? No it isn't. Marriage as you understand it, has a spiritual dimension, it has suddenly lost when the Law borrows it. Is there something wrong with your reaction? No, given the poor debate that didn't bother trying to make sense, search for a thought through consensus or to strictly stick with the separation between Churches and State that should have lead enlighted Lawmakers to choose the understanding over the victory, they don't often do that do they? Will it help you? "La loi ne considère le mariage que comme contrat civil. »" These are the words of the French revolutionaries when they wrote the first constitution unequivocally stating the legal only status of the relationship between two parties contracting under the civil authorities, you understand Marriage differently, it has for you a spiritual dimension and it corners you. It is understandable. 
Under the rights zealots cher monsieur colo outrage there is only hidden hatred for the native nations, their culture and rights with little search for understanding so... scared by the FCNM they will do everything they can to make you look dirty, take it easy and sing http://www.amazon.fr/Begitara-Begira/dp/B004NYOEVU

:-)))) has he  - del 6 al 14 de julio de 2013 should see another big push with a large support for Etxera.
