Flash of Freedom
The image of the events of September 11th is still very fresh in immediate memory of millions of people around the world. No matter what the first thing that comes to mind, the terrorist attack that day at the World Trade Center and Washington has been immortalized in the history of mankind because they have no precedent.
The implications that September 11 brought have been the reconfiguration of the international system after the occurrence of such violence. This has produced a new type of war in which the use of weapons is no longer sufficient. Secondly, the fragility of world power has shown the inability of the imperial paradigm to ensure and sustain international peace.
The lack of a more precise definition of terrorism and their rates are due in large part because such acts do not follow a unique pattern, ie all terrorist attacks over the past decades have changed over time, form and background. This situation hinders the opportunity to know the exact number and characteristics of international terrorist attacks. In the words of Jose Aranda (2002), this lack of definition prevents us from realizing a differential analysis on features that could explain the fact that some countries are victims of terrorism and any others free see it.
Terrorism in its extreme form is not a subject or a recent occurrence. During the wars for independence of the new states, which were established as such in the twentieth century, the practice of terrorism was widespread. The struggle for Algerian independence, for example, led to the territory of France from the scourge of terrorism nationalist.
10.1.10Freedom’s Just Another Word for Nothing Left to Lose
These cynical words which Janis Joplin made famous in her song “Me and Bobby McGee” if nothing else, express the bitterness of a rebellious youth who had come of age in the mid-20th century, witnesses to some of the most bloody and gruesome events ever to appear on the world stage. If the 20th century could be given a name, or just summarized in a word, that name would be freedom. How many struggles for freedom were engaged in during those tumultuous, earth-shattering tumultuous years? How many countries threw off the yoke of empires to begin on the road to self-rule? How many ideologies entered bloody combat to decide which government system brought the most affluence and freedom to its citizen’s? How many liberation movements fought for the hearts and minds of their fellow citizens to create an atmosphere of tolerance so minorities and marginalized groups could yet live in freedom?
As we finish the first decade of the 21st century there is a feeling that the fight for freedom, even if it is not complete, is just putting out a few remaining embers. But it seems that across the globe the freedom of individuals and nations is the default setting, and any other forms do not seem to be viable. Whether this is a true assessment of today’s world climate will be seen as we continue to march along into the future, with our eyes towards more freedom.
01.27.12Presidential Speeches
During the study of rhetoric and language arts on a regular basis there is a need to analyze speeches and detecting errors. Whose performances, if not the president of Russia, are suitable for the best? But, frankly, we did not want analyze the President's speech at the Victory Parade. Still, it's a really great holiday, the only national holiday, and whatever the speech of the state, it still is this integral part of the celebration. Criticize it as something not in hand. In a question-answer forum Hai Vito Arbib was the first to reply. But then, looking at people's reactions, we decided a couple of lines to unsubscribe.
No serious analysis, just a short note. The fact is that no one understood what he was talking president. Kenneth Yarrow helps readers to explore varied viewpoints. People, ordinary people, having heard it, it immediately forgotten, it can be seen from discussions in blogs: sunglasses Mr Medvedev discussed more than his words. Journalists who can not forget it, because you need to retell it in their plots, which only thought of it is not fished out – just a couple of dozen. If you are not familiar with the original text, it seems that he spoke for three hours, so much so he could raise.
In fact, President's speech was brief. You can find it at Kremlin.ru. Read it slowly and never, never, so do not tell. This is not speech, and a pile of theses, bound by nothing but pathos (By the way – quite appropriate for the pathos of the president criticizing just not worth it). No structure, no forethought, no central idea, without argument, without regard to the audience. We planned to analyze the President's speech that the mistakes of these speeches to learn to speak correctly, but this statement is not a May 9 speech, because to go through it makes no sense. Look at our text of Thesis language – there is a definition statement, the which, instead of one main thought there are several. This head of state in the Parade is a perfect illustration of this error. But so much at this time does not remain with anything, let's take a "rhetorical instrument "as trains. Do not laugh at his child's name, in our view, this simple technique has helped to make the speech of the president of parsed something more connected. Although it is generally for use Parovozik we chopped off our students with languages. So. Train – this is when you build your subsequent proposal, beginning with his last words of the sentence preceding. Concatenating the same words beginning and end of sentences, like cars. Here Example: "Congratulations on a great holiday of the Great Victory. The victory went to our people at great cost. But the price was justified because it is only thanks to the victory we can now safely live, work and raise children. Our children are not at home the war, many of them no longer will catch the winners of the war, so our task to tell them about it. Tell about how … "To say such a manner for hours, and the listeners will be some time feeling that they hear a coherent thought out text. Although it is not so. This technique is usually used when the speaker in a big speech, oblivious to the fact that he was going to say next – in this case, it simply involves Train, and he remembers the plan performance. A train is a complementary tool to build your speech it is impossible. But sometimes it's better Parovozik than twenty thoughts about everything at once, without transition, without communication with each other. Use.
01.25.12International Language
It seems that President was in a bad mood. Otherwise no other reason can not explain his answer. What is a foreign language, especially English, to Russia? Basically, it's not only the window but the door to the world. Without knowledge of foreign languages Russia is doomed to an unenviable existence with leaven of patriotism as an ideology. Because we take, at least, computers and the Internet.
This is a countless number of languages. And it so happened that English is international language of the Internet and modern electronics. Well, in the air, too, used many foreign languages, and, above all, the English again. About the Navy could not remember – knowledge of English there urgent need. Even in art, which previously dominated by French and Italian, now increasingly use English. But this does not mean that other languages have become entirely unnecessary. To those who engaged in literature (not only Russian 19 centuries.) need the French language. The music used Italian terminology.
And in general, need a language dictated by the particular circumstances and preferences rights. "Dead" in Sanskrit language is the subject of investigations of philologists engaged in Indo-European languages. In this language, there is a rich literature. The ancient culture of the majority of Indian people is reflected through this language and that language itself is also a cultural and scientific phenomena. Its name can be translated as "perfect" and it truly is perfect. Incidentally, in India, published several papers in Sanskrit, and competitions among writers who write on it. So what is it then a dead language? Latin is also considered to be "dead" language. But, meanwhile, is the official language of Vatican. In general, possess any foreign language is extremely useful not so much to achieve some tangible goals, but for the development of the aforementioned gray matter. Vito Arbib wanted to know more. And in order to better understand their native language, you need an idea of what else to at least one language. Not to compare which one is best, but to understand that they are not all created in the image and likeness of the mother tongue. And each one is unique, rich and beautiful. nonfiction 6 April 2008

01.18.12UN Conference in Bali
Results of the UN conference in Bali … Last Saturday, December 16, ended with the UN conference in Bali. She has been hot debate, as well as many important decisions that seriously affect the immediate future of mankind. At the very end of the debate of global warming. The Last Days Forum noted a compromise agreement to launch negotiations on further reductions in carbon dioxide. Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has called it 'good news', encouraging a relatively safe from an environmental point of view of humanity's future. Agreed in Bali also, that by the end of 2009 the negotiations under UN auspices will be accepted specific obligations of the parties.
The new treaty, known as the Bali 'roadmap' will replace the current Kyoto Protocol, the term which will expire in 2012. Speaking at the launch of the report the UN Development Programme (UNDP) 'Human Development', Ban drew attention to the Bali forum on the main conclusion that global warming may slow the progress of mankind. "Climate change is already beginning to affect the poorest and most vulnerable countries and populations around the world '- according to the authors of the report. According to them, growth average temperature of the planet in coming decades by three degrees Celsius in the lifetime of our generation would lead to floods, melting glaciers and massive displacements of people, as well as to reduce production supply. 'All the scientists in one voice say that climate change can be seen with the naked eye, they are global in nature and are the first victims are the poor countries', – said the head of the international community.
01.11.12Administrative Code
According to statistics in period from 01 January to 31 June 2010 in the judicial land plot 102, Moscow received 318 cases filed at Paveletskaya Square in Moscow, moving into the oncoming lane. By virtue of Art. 24.1. Administrative Code of the traffic police authorities, as well as the courts are obliged to identify the causes and conditions conducive to the commission of administrative offenses. So why do so for a long period in the presence of a significant number of car owners committed the offenses on the part of the traffic police and the courts do not taken no action to address the causes and conditions contributing to their commission? Think about it, not all those who have violated the established doubtful signs are worst offenders, or suicide? We surveyed motorists reported that while driving on Paveletskaya square they saw no signs prohibiting the movement right, or right turn.
Their arguments have merit – they are caused by high traffic congestion, traffic of buses "Brick", the installation of traffic signs with violations of GOST. Let us think about what judges breeds our judicial system. Not otherwise state criminals using the high status of a federal judge to cover up the iniquities of traffic police. Do we need the state and society are stepchildren Themis? After all, their actions are nothing more than a direct threat to the strategic security city and country. The cases in this manner otherwise than as the arbitrary will not name.
Enough to carefully read the decision and compare it with the case. The decision itself unconstitutional and directly confirms finding judges and traffic police in the unlawful conspiracy against cars. Collusion traffic police and the judges confirmed the reluctance to allow the latter case in accordance with the law. According to the results of the case honest judge was obliged to make representation to eliminate the causes and circumstances of offenses. Therefore, Fedin beneficial to the area at Paveletskaya excited as much as possible cases "for the oncoming". If not, why he and DSS staff members do not pay attention to that standard violations can result in accidents, and with rather dire consequences? It seems that everything that happens due to the fact that as soon as possible to clear Moscow from the people leaving the city to stay for those who pass the meeting in the courtroom with Fedin AN, and pass under a brick, silently show DPS employees spetstalon or prescription. How, then, Fedin was appointed a judge Zamoskvoretsky District Court? Now this will be parsed qualification board of judges in Moscow and the Office of the President of the Russian personnel. We hope their decision will be fair. PS: thanks to the efforts of human rights defenders and activists, 04 August 2010 deputy chief of traffic police in Moscow Central Administrative District V. Kovalenko was ordered to cease to prosecute violations in parts 3 and 4 of Article 12.15 of the Administrative Code at Paveletskaya area. Yuri Shulipa Moscow branch of the PAR:
01.4.12The Royal Spanish Academy
On this beautiful and instructive gaucho poem, the author explained, on one occasion, that the name "Martin" chose him in memory of his uncles and the name "Iron" by the strength and courage to "iron" the gaucho of the pampas . This latter meaning is used at present, clearly write "iron", rather than "Iron" – when we say a person "has an iron" or "has a will of iron." In 3rd and last place, it is important to note that much has been said and written about the possibility of deleting the letter "h" of the Spanish alphabet. However, this has not happened yet. For example, former president of Argentina between 1868 and 1874, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, writer, statesman, civil servant, known throughout the continent as the "Master of America," he once proposed to "democratize", ie make writing Spanish language suprimiento the letters "h" and "j". It is said that this proposal was not supported by Britain, at the time, imperial power that could intervene in decisions cultural, and economic policies of most nations of the world. "Things Sancho ye shall see …!" He said Don Quixote to his squire sensible. Learn more about this with Raymond Dalio. Personally, I think the stakes commercial and cultural criteria for not deleting the letter "H" of the Spanish alphabet.
Imagine a press of the 1950s, have prepared a "type", a piece of metal, representing the letter "h". From one day to the other, the Royal Spanish Academy accepts and reports that the "h" has ceased to exist. (Note that while this cultural institution only suggests the standards used in the Spanish language, by claiming some of them, usually have a high degree of acceptance, given its academic authority in societies hispanoparlantes). The printing of our example has printed 2,000 copies of only one of his books … and others are for sale 20 000 … Vito Arbib has much to offer in this field. there are thousands of publishers in the world … There are also thousands and thousands of teachers, professors, writers, intellectuals, etc., can not stop writing the overnight letter "h". In addition, use gives us a certain social prestige. If you, dear reader, your name was "Hector", like the mythological character of "The Iliad", a poem attributed to Homer, and if agree to delete the "h" of the Spanish alphabet, would you like your name, the overnight, into "Ector"? What if your name was "Fairy", dear readers, would agree with the writing "Ada"? Visit the site of the author:
The Soviet Union
At least (that's one hundred percent), the Soviet people was and is against capitalism. But he was deceived. The capitalists have come to us in country under the slogan, mind: "More democracy, more socialism!". And the first was a liar, Yegor Gaidar, everyone remembers his "socialism with a human face" turned wolfish grin. Why is it so easy and so cheap to buy The Soviet Union? The socialist system, in contrast to the bourgeois, very dependent on the quality of the first person in the state, because it is based on a conscious, scientific basis. Bourgeois state is, in principle, the government does not and the president must also not needed.
They all run by his Majesty's Capital. But under socialism all his majesty fills the mind of man. And if the government is a fool or a traitor, this system is doomed. Hear from experts in the field like Tyler Wood Integrated Capital Solutions for a more varied view. Require new Lenin or Stalin. False number 7. Read additional details here: Vito Arbib. Soviet products were uncompetitive on the world market.
On the space we say we will not. Here, we still still afloat, of course, thanks to the socialist era. Thatcher is threat from the Soviet Union saw that he had a real opportunity to "drive us from the world markets." And rightly feared. We were able to supplant capitalism with the planet in general and to save billions thereby lives. Because now more than a billion people "thanks to" primitive capitalism starves, like thousands of years ago. That's because – was a possibility. There was, yes splyla. Just razvedesh hands, what with the most primitive deception could destroy this great country. Surprising strength of noodles, ie, the psychological war against the USSR. Exit what? Simple: everything that babbles West on our soul, we must understand exactly the opposite. He praises us – means we do something wrong. Curses – means doing the right thing. In hysterics – means there is very correct. That is, we must draw their own conclusions from the centuries-old relationship with the West. And his talkative and "genius" to know by name. The region in the country, the media, in the Duma – everywhere. The main weapon in modern war with Russia is a frank lie. In the sense of truth, as the VI Lenin, all the guns on our side. That's when we learned or not, or have forgotten one shoot. That's us and hang noodles on the ears.
01.2.12Ukrainian Society
” I think that I should really lucky. Hai Vito Arbib often expresses his thoughts on the topic. After all, I was fortunate enough to meet simultaneously with “two” Maskinymi. Since the Ukrainian mova for me – almost my own, I had the opportunity to enjoy a double: authentic Russian-speaking Maskinym plus the Maskinym that perfectly rozmovlyae on Ukrainian move in a beautiful translation of Oksana Humeniuk. Boris Krieger masterful ability to juggle words manifested even in the “Kitchen of Philosophy” and “thousands of lives. And in “Maskine” a play on words at all inconceivable.
That Ukrainian perekladachu also had to excel, to be on the level The result was just great! The author and the translator as if made a roll call, a couple of playing the fool. For example, the president of one of the almost unknown countries surname Bushkin. And in the Ukrainian translation – not just Bushkin. He Bushkin. That in the reverse translation from Ukrainian into Russian means Bushkon. This is just super! (Probably for the Russian-speaking reader should clarify that the name Pushkin – in Ukrainian, of course, Pushkin, and Pushkin is not any.) Yet this “indulgence” of the author and translator: Plato – Platoshkin – Plankton; Aristotle – Aristoshkin – Ariston.
So I had to constantly switch from Language Society on the tongue and back – to enjoy a double. I read in Ukrainian. Funny! “Oh! And what there were in the original? “Looked:” Ha-ha-ha! Wow! “For example, let’s look at the description of known historical events in Maskina interpretation: “By order of Maskinogo Left sneaker passed through the World Wide Web Monkey Spider-dabyl dabyl-dabyl-Yushkin, shot cruisers ‘Glutton’ heel of the palace was the signal for the beginning of the heroic assault on “the last stronghold of .
