While sterilizations and abortions are legal in the United States, they are considered immoral by the Catholic Church and many Catholics.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Because the hospital systems studied are nationwide, the results are likely to be representative of current practice across the United States.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The identified hospitals and their respective healthcare systems are operated by religious orders of the Catholic Church who according to the Church&amp;#39;s Canon Law are subject to the authority of the Church. In their activities, they must faithfully observe the mission of their founders (Can. 578) and cooperate with the local bishop. In the United States, they are expected by the local bishops to operate according to the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Healthcare (2001).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The study shows that all six US Catholic hospital systems operating in Texas do not follow these directives, or, arguably, the purpose and spirit of their founders.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The researchers collected and analyzed the Texas data to inform the public of the practices of Catholic healthcare systems and to foster public accountability for the religious sisters who run these systems in the name of Christ and the Church. The data from the study is made available on this website to all who wish to further investigate the situation.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The study includes records from Catholic hospitals in Texas that present either explicit violations of Catholic directives or might represent violations. The concern of the study has been to examine solid documentary evidence of violations and to avoid confidential information, morally ambiguous procedures, or personal cases.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The data is abstracted from the hospital inpatient discharge data reported to the Texas Health Care Information Collection Center for Health Statistics. The Texas Legislature requires the Center to collect healthcare charges, utilization data including diagnosis and procedures, and outcome data for all patients for the purposes of promoting cost-effective, quality health care.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;All Texas hospitals except for very small or rural ones must submit quarterly data on all inpatient discharges. Hospitals assign unique patient and physician identifiers so that records may be submitted without violating patient and physician confidentiality. The data is compiled quarterly into public use data files that may be purchased for research or analytical purposes. The cost at $4,600 per year is out of reach of most individuals and is the reason this study only covers 2000 to 2003. Results for 2004-2008 should be similar.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;An Excel file, TCH.xls (Texas Catholic Hospitals), containing abstracted patient records may be downloaded and examined by those who wish to do further investigation. The researchers organized the data and simplified its presentation to make it more accessible to those individuals not familiar with hospital discharge data. They added macros to enable the data to be viewed in various ways. The opening tab of the file explains how to use the macros. There are also links to the hospital systems, religious orders who own the hospitals, and dioceses in which the hospitals or religious orders are located. The researchers are available to assist interested parties in Texas and other states to collect and analyze similar data.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;An independent review of TCH.xls with a one page data summary and an assessment of its implications for the practice of Catholic healthcare in the United States and for the necessary adaptation of the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Healthcare have also been posted. The review has been widely distributed to church leaders and the media. The review data summary, review narrative, and distribution memo may be downloaded from Wikileaks (Sterilization and abortion practices in Texas Catholic hospitals).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Methodology Used in Analyzing Texas Hospital Data&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The TCH.xls file was created by a research group including a biostatistician and medical ethicist as a means to facilitate open access to public records containing data from Catholic hospitals in the state of Texas.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Only Catholic hospital inpatient data was extracted from the Texas Public Use Data File for inclusion in the analysis. The Catholic hospitals were identified from the 2006 state list of acute care hospitals in Texas, the hospitals listed in the Official Catholic Directory, and the websites of the identified health care systems and respective religious orders responsible for their operation. Only one acute care Catholic hospital located in Brenham is not included since it is not required to report because of its rural location.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;For the identified Catholic hospitals, inpatient data was obtained for the years 2000 through 2003. The state records are coded according to the International Classification of Diseases guidelines (ICD-9-CM) published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A database of the codes obtained from the CDC&amp;#39;s National Center for Health Statistics is included in the provided files. The researchers responsible for TCH.xls searched for all records which had codes indicating sterilizations, contraceptive procedures, legally induced abortions, and termination of pregnancy. A complete listing of all codes used in searching the records is also included in the data file.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Only those fields from the Texas Public Use Data File relevant to the research are included in the extracted file. Each patient record in the extracted file includes the year and quarter of the discharge, the hospital ID, the name of the hospital, the sex of the patient, the admitting ICD-9-CM diagnostic code, eight additional fields for diagnostic codes, the principle surgical procedure ICD-9-CM code, five additional fields for surgical and obstetrical procedures, and the unique patient record ID. Fields in the records regarding charges, physician identification, and other non-relevant information were excluded from the compilation. It should be noted that the hospital identification codes are unique identifiers assigned to the hospitals by the state. These numbers sometimes change although the hospital remains the same.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;A brief note on the selected codes for the search may be helpful. The V25.2 diagnostic code specifically indicates that sterilization for contraceptive purposes is to be done through interruption of the fallopian tubes or the vas deferens. There are distinct diagnostic codes for illegal, legal, or unspecified induced abortions. Only legally induced abortions have been considered. Also, there are procedures such as dilation and curettage (D&amp;amp;C) which can be used either &amp;quot;following delivery or abortion&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;or termination of pregnancy&amp;quot; and are given separate codes to distinguish these very different purposes. Only the codes specifically &amp;quot;for termination of pregnancy&amp;quot; were used for the search. The user is advised to view all the diagnostic and procedural codes in a patient record to gain a clearer understanding of particular cases. A complete list of the codes and their descriptions are included in TCH.xls.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The data for each hospital is summarized on the Hospitals tab. Totals for each code are given. While some records may contain duplicate codes, the totals only count the record once. All the records included in each total number may be seen by double clicking on the total.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The anonymous researchers may be contacted via &lt;a href="mailto:press@sunshinepress.org"&gt;press@sunshinepress.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;References:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Wikileaks.

Dit op zichzelf hoeft niet te betekenen dat er sprake is van een psychische of maatschappelijke problematiek, zoals het begrip '&lt;a href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurose" title="Neurose"&gt;neurose&lt;/a&gt;' als deel van het woord 'blogneurose' wellicht doet vermoeden. Een neurose is in de &lt;a href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoanalyse" title="Psychoanalyse"&gt;psychoanalytische&lt;/a&gt; theorie een ineffectieve structurele manier van omgaan met problemen.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In de &lt;a href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychiatrie" title="Psychiatrie"&gt;psychiatrie&lt;/a&gt; is het begrip blogneurose in gebruik aan het raken, bij het benoemen van de specifieke psychische omstandigheden die in toenemende mate aan het licht komen, sinds het bijhouden van weblogs in de jaren 2003, 2004 in opkomst kwam. In voorkomende gevallen is er sprake van, dat het weblog de betekenis krijgt van een essentieel onderdeel van de &lt;a href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persoonlijkheid" title="Persoonlijkheid"&gt;persoonlijkheid&lt;/a&gt;. Op het weblog komt in veel gevallen een aspect van de persoonlijkheid naar buiten in de vorm van een &lt;a href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alter_ego" title="Alter ego"&gt;alter ego&lt;/a&gt;. Indien er sprake van is dat een patiënt niet in staat, of in de gelegenheid is tot het dagelijkse plaatsen van posts op het weblog en daardoor in een psychische crisis raakt, of dreigt te raken, dan spreekt men in toenemende mate van een blogneurose. Daarnaast kan het ook zijn dat een patiënt door een te grote openheid op het weblog over persoonlijke aangelegenheden, in confict raakt met een ander aspect van de eigen persoonlijkheid, of met de omgeving van de patiënt, vooral in de eigen vrienden- of familiekring.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;De blogneurose lijkt vooralsnog te vallen in de categorie &lt;a href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwanggedrag" title="Dwanggedrag"&gt;dwanggedrag&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsessief-compulsieve_stoornis" title="Obsessief-compulsieve stoornis"&gt;dwangneurosen&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Het is niet duidelijk of de blogneurose zonder meer aangemerkt kan worden als &lt;a href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verslaving" title="Verslaving"&gt;verslaving&lt;/a&gt;, zoals de verslaving aan &lt;a href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gokken" title="Gokken"&gt;gokken&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatten_%28communicatie%29" title="Chatten (communicatie)"&gt;chatten&lt;/a&gt; via &lt;a href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet" title="Internet"&gt;internet&lt;/a&gt;, of gameverslaving, als voorbeelden van verslaving aan gewoonten.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blogneurose"&gt;Blogneurose - Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Een fameus stuk gezeik natuurlijk : zogenaamde "blogneurotici" zullen in andere situaties &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;ook wel &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;neurotisch gedrag vertonen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;                              &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10262067-8667779055291038398?l=volksgazet.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blogneurose' title='Blogneurose'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://volksgazet.blogspot.com/feeds/8667779055291038398/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10262067&amp;postID=8667779055291038398' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10262067/posts/default/8667779055291038398'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10262067/posts/default/8667779055291038398'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://volksgazet.blogspot.com/2007/02/blogneurose.html' title='Blogneurose'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10262067.post-1776162697878258690</id><published>2007-02-12T14:31:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-02-12T12:28:50.341+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Hemp Seed: The Misaligned, Misunderstood Food That is Possibly One of the Healthiest on the Planet</title><content type='html'>Hemp seed, long an overlooked superfood for its misunderstood association with marijuana, is now starting to make a big impact on the health food scene with both consumers and scientists alike.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.manitobaharvest.com/nutrition/index.asp?itemID=73"&gt; Hemp: Nature's Forgotten Nutraceutical (As Seen in Natural Pharmacy Magazine) - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Darrell L.

integreren? Weert heeft een landelijke primeur met zijn eerste    Marokkaanse Prins Carnaval. Carnavalsvereniging de Bier Buike Club riep    Hassan I tot prins uit om aan te geven dat carnaval een ruimdenkend feest    is. Het devies van de prins is dan ook: &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;integreren kan ik als de beste, na    carnaval lig ik buiten westen&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;      &lt;span class="mainFont"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hassan de Eerste is een moslimprins op een katholiek feest. „Geen probleem    hoor. Religie en carnaval, dat is toch al aardig verwaterd. Ik let er wel op    dat ik geen alcohol drink. Ik sla wel halve liters achterover, maar dan    alleen cola”, aldus een lachende prins Hassan de Eerste.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.telegraaf.nl/binnenland/58260241/Weert_heeft_Marokkaanse_Prins_Carnaval.html"&gt;Weert heeft Marokkaanse Prins Carnaval - telegraaf.nl [Binnenland]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed style="width:400px; height:326px;" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=885350617230285104&amp;hl=en" flashvars=""&gt; &lt;/embed&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10262067-424894817325889608?l=volksgazet.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.telegraaf.nl/binnenland/58260241/Weert_heeft_Marokkaanse_Prins_Carnaval.html' title='Weert heeft Marokkaanse Prins Carnaval - telegraaf.nl [Binnenland]'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://volksgazet.blogspot.com/feeds/424894817325889608/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10262067&amp;postID=424894817325889608' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10262067/posts/default/424894817325889608'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10262067/posts/default/424894817325889608'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://volksgazet.blogspot.com/2007/02/weert-heeft-marokkaanse-prins-carnaval.html' title='Weert heeft Marokkaanse Prins Carnaval - telegraaf.nl [Binnenland]'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10262067.post-3171638361930384485</id><published>2007-01-29T08:26:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-01-29T08:31:09.276+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Harvest in Caracas</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_lW7mkkCfCCc/Rb2idVM3nCI/AAAAAAAAAFU/CNZBpLSIwjo/s1600-h/000+B+%28WinCE%29.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_lW7mkkCfCCc/Rb2idVM3nCI/AAAAAAAAAFU/CNZBpLSIwjo/s400/000+B+%28WinCE%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5025351384006368290" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="bodytext"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Since coming to power in 1999, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has implemented a range of social and economic programmes.

If a scientist read just the relevant papers the rate of one per day &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;it would take 105 years to catch up&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/events/details.cfm?id=133&amp;pa=1"&gt;Oxford Internet Institute - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Second-Generation Open Access: Building on Open Content&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10262067-7642317145083875284?l=volksgazet.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://sciencecommons.org/projects/data/index.html' title='Read the right paper at the right time without restriction'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://volksgazet.blogspot.com/feeds/7642317145083875284/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10262067&amp;postID=7642317145083875284' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10262067/posts/default/7642317145083875284'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10262067/posts/default/7642317145083875284'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://volksgazet.blogspot.com/2007/01/read-right-paper-at-right-time-without.html' title='Read the right paper at the right time without restriction'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10262067.post-1597710597447523361</id><published>2007-01-25T08:13:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-01-25T08:25:15.486+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='education'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='onderwijs'/><title type='text'>Sex appeal sells private tutors in Hong Kong</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_lW7mkkCfCCc/RbhbDlM3nBI/AAAAAAAAAFE/b9Um_pCn9Ow/s1600-h/asian_teacher.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_lW7mkkCfCCc/RbhbDlM3nBI/AAAAAAAAAFE/b9Um_pCn9Ow/s400/asian_teacher.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5023865501415611410" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sex appeal has become a hot selling point, just as important as teaching ability and knowledge, in Hong Kong's hypercompetitive world of cram schools&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; - or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;"&gt; bou zap se&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; in the local Cantonese dialect.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Attractive teachers are marketed like movie stars.

Daarbij werden terreurverdachten vanuit de VS overgevlogen naar geheime gevangenissen in andere landen, waar &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;onorthodoxe ondervragingstechnieken&lt;/span&gt; zoals &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;foltering&lt;/span&gt; werden toegepast.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Als het Europees Parlement het verslag van de commissie goedkeurt, komen er mogelijk stafmaatregelen.

      &lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Over het vormen van een districts-minderheidscollege van SP.a/Spirit-CD&amp;V/NVA-VLD in Hoboken beslisten onze leden op een algemene ledenvergadering in Hoboken gisterenavond :&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. hun grote onvrede uit te drukken over de onfrisse   achterkamerpolitiek. &lt;/strong&gt;Dat om volgende redenen:&lt;/div&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;er wordt in achterkamertjes van 't Stad beslist over de toekomst van Hoboken &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;er wordt geen enkele informatie gegeven; de PVDA+ moet de gegevens in de   pers gaan zoeken &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;er wordt geen rekening gehouden met de stem uit Hoboken. De meerderheid van de bevolking is voor een meerderheidsbestuur. Op één na hebben álle wijkverantwoordelijken (van de wijkcomité's) in Hoboken zich uitgesproken voor een meerderheidsbestuur. Drie uittredende schepenen van de districtsraad (van CD&amp;V, VLD en Groen!) hebben gepleit voor een meerderheidsbestuur. Een petitie van deze drie uittredende schepenen werd&lt;br /&gt;   door talrijke opiniemakers,   democraten en progressieven uit Hoboken en Antwerpen ondertekend &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;het blijkt dat men het politiek verstand heeft van een muis: men denkt precies zes dagen verder, in plaats van zes jaar verder te denken. Het gaat niet alleen over de vraag hoe het VB nu vrijdag tegen te houden. Het gaat er vooral om hoe extreem-rechts de komende zes jaar tegen te houden. De antipolitiek en de achterkamerpolitiek die gevoerd is zijn erg slechte voortekens voor 2012, en zijn in tegenstelling tot wat voor kort 'goed bestuur' heette &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;het blijkt dat men de linkse PVDA+ voor de tweede keer op drie maanden nodig heeft om het VB af te stoppen: een eerste keer om uiterst-rechts van de absolute meerderheid te houden op 8 oktober (wat lukte), en nu een tweede keer om extreem-rechts van een college-meerderheid te houden bij de installatie van de districtsraad. Ondanks dat feit wordt zelfs de elementaire democratische beleefdheid om met ons een gesprek over die steun aan te gaan, niet nageleefd &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;het blijkt dat men de communistische PVDA+ nodig heeft voor de inhoudelijke klemtonen voor een sociaal en democratisch Hoboken. Het memorandum dat bij de beleidsnota wordt voorgesteld bevat de 13 punten die door de  volksbevraging van de PVDA+ op de agenda worden gezet. Toch wordt vanuit het Stadhuis besloten niet met de PVDA+ te praten&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. tot aan de installatie van de districtsraad vrijdag geen verder standpunt over het optreden van de PVDA+ in de openbaarheid te brengen. &lt;/strong&gt;Dat om volgende redenen:&lt;/div&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;om een duidelijk signaal te geven tegen de ondemocratische gang van zaken &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;om zoveel mogelijk mensen uit te nodigen voor de districtsraad van   vrijdagavond &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;omdat communicatie van twee kanten moet komen. Het is onmogelijk te communiceren als men vanuit de kant van het Schoon Verdiep weigert te praten &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;omdat communicatie op basis van informatie verloopt. Gezien vanuit het Stasbestuur geen enkele informatie of mededeling over het verloop van de minderheids-gesprekken zijn geweest, wil de PVDA+ zelf de tijd nemen om alle gegevens nuchter te verzamelen &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;om in alle serentiteit  iedereen met gezond verstand in Hoboken te kunnen   contacteren &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

type='text'>Antwerpse gemeenteraad voert verbod hoofddoek in</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="intro"&gt;Voor de eerste echte Antwerpse gemeenteraadszitting van vorige week manifesteerden een tweehonderd moslimvrouwen op de Groenplaats tégen het geplande verbod voor stedelijke ambtenaren om met een hoofddoekje aan een loket te werken.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De moslimvrouwen beschouwen het ingevoerde hoofddoekverbod als discriminerend en een aanval op hun recht op arbeid. De actie was geslaagd en werd in de media ruim besproken. Maar &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;alle &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;“democratische partijen” &lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;lapten het protest aan hun laars&lt;/span&gt; en keurden het bestuursakkoord, mét hoofddoekverbod, goed. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Waarover de media echter zedig zwegen, was de beschamende vertoning aan de ingang van het stadhuis, toen een vijftigtal vrouwen de wettelijk verplicht openbare gemeenteraadszitting wilden bijwonen. Op bevel van burgemeester Patrick Janssens versperde de politie de toegang. De vrouwen,mét hoofddoekje en geen loketbedienden, werden op aansporen van &lt;i&gt;“Patrick voor de vrienden” &lt;/i&gt;als oproerkraaiers behandeld. In zijn goedheid wou de SP.a-burgemeester een delegatie van vijf vrouwen toelaten tot de voor de rest lege publieke tribune. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Janssens overtrad hier de wet en kon zijn op racisme gebaseerde angst voor deze &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;“vreemde” &lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;vrouwen niet verbergen. &lt;/span&gt;Na een kwartier duwen en trekken mocht iedereen binnen, nadat een ambtenaar op paternalistische toon had verwittigd &lt;i&gt;“geen oproer” &lt;/i&gt;te veroorzaken. En nadien konden de geëmancipeerde moslimvrouwen met eigen ogen het bizarre schouwspel van de Antwerpse democratie aanschouwen… &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;En, o ja, nog dit. Raadslid Hugo Coveliers – een machtig pleiter! – ex-VLD en nu samen met Vlott bij het VB, liet weten een klacht in te dienen tegen de vrouwen, omdat hun pamflet… geen verantwoordelijk uitgever bevatte. Om even het voetbal aan te halen: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Janssens geeft de pass, Coveliers denkt te scoren, Dewinter juicht… Merkwaardig ploegspel in de&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; “Metropool”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;…&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Koen Calliauw&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;20-01-2007&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.ptb.be/scripts/article.phtml?section=A2AAAABG&amp;obid=33526"&gt;Antwerpse gemeenteraad voert verbod hoofddoek in&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10262067-484555928755505646?l=volksgazet.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.ptb.be/scripts/article.phtml?section=A2AAAABG&amp;obid=33526' title='Antwerpse gemeenteraad voert verbod hoofddoek in'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://volksgazet.blogspot.com/feeds/484555928755505646/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10262067&amp;postID=484555928755505646' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10262067/posts/default/484555928755505646'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10262067/posts/default/484555928755505646'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://volksgazet.blogspot.com/2007/01/antwerpse-gemeenteraad-voert-verbod.html' title='Antwerpse gemeenteraad voert verbod hoofddoek in'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10262067.post-2980742949081383960</id><published>2007-01-20T11:51:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-01-20T11:52:46.055+01:00</updated><title type='text'>D&amp;A en Kif Kif voeren zelf praktijktests in</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;                                     &lt;br /&gt;Divers &amp; Actief en Kif Kif nemen de plotse knieval van alle regeringspartijen – ‘toevallig’ na de dagvaarding van premier Verhofstadt en minister Dupont wegens het niet invoeren van de praktijktests - niet en zullen op zelfstandige basis een aantal vrijwilligers opleiden om zelf praktijktests uit te voeren.

Het is onaanvaardbaar dat regeringsleden het parlement en de bevolking openlijk voorliegen. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Het verontrust beide organisaties dat de uitvoerende macht naar eigen goeddunken het wetgevend werk van het parlement afkeurt en een wetsontwerp op eigen maat in de plaats stelt.&lt;/span&gt; Dergelijke knutselpraktijken zijn een democratie onwaardig!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://site.kifkif.be/kifkif/nieuws.php?nws_id=764&amp;open_menu_id=18"&gt;Kif Kif &gt; Persberichten &gt; D&amp;amp;A en Kif Kif voeren zelf praktijktests in&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10262067-2980742949081383960?l=volksgazet.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://site.kifkif.be/kifkif/nieuws.php?nws_id=764&amp;open_menu_id=18' title='D&amp;A en Kif Kif voeren zelf praktijktests in'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://volksgazet.blogspot.com/feeds/2980742949081383960/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10262067&amp;postID=2980742949081383960' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10262067/posts/default/2980742949081383960'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10262067/posts/default/2980742949081383960'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://volksgazet.blogspot.com/2007/01/d-en-kif-kif-voeren-zelf-praktijktests.html' title='D&amp;A en Kif Kif voeren zelf praktijktests in'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10262067.post-5481654769839957938</id><published>2007-01-19T07:44:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-01-19T08:22:21.453+01:00</updated><title type='text'>HOOFDDOEK: 't Stad is van iedereen, ook met een hoofddoek</title><content type='html'>&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_lW7mkkCfCCc/RbBwqXqU-DI/AAAAAAAAAEM/xBpRqfpQ6vY/s1600-h/866788871_l+ed+2+sq.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_lW7mkkCfCCc/RbBwqXqU-DI/AAAAAAAAAEM/xBpRqfpQ6vY/s200/866788871_l+ed+2+sq.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5021637457726470194" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="font-family: verdana;font-family:verdana;"  id="tblArticle" width="82%"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="A5_Tekst" valign="top"&gt;&lt;b&gt;In Antwerpen mogen mensen die aan de stadsloketten werken voortaan géén uiterlijke tekenen van geloof of ideologie meer dragen. Op Radio 1 legde het Minderhedenforum uit waarom onze mensen het feitelijke &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;hoofddoekverbod onbegrijpelijk en disriminerend&lt;/span&gt; vinden.&lt;!-- InstanceEndEditable --&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                          &lt;/tr&gt;            &lt;tr&gt;              &lt;td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;           &lt;/tr&gt;     &lt;!-- InstanceBeginRepeat name="Artikel Repeat" --&gt;&lt;!-- InstanceBeginRepeatEntry --&gt;               &lt;tr&gt;              &lt;td class="A5_Tekst"&gt; &lt;!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="Artikel Tekst" --&gt;              &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Maandag 15 januari 2007 keurde de Antwerpse gemeenteraad een nieuw bestuursakkoord goed. Aan stadsloketten mogen ambtenaren voortaan géén uiterlijke tekenen van geloof of ideologie meer dragen. De maatregel is erg controversieel omdat ze moslimvrouwen die de hoofddoek dragen verhindert om in een loketfunctie te werken. Zo'n 150 manifestanten protesteerden tegen wat ze zien als het zoveelste bewijs van uitsluiting van de hoofddoek - op de arbeidsmarkt, maar ook in het onderwijs. We verwijzen naar de invoering van een hofddoekverbod in verschillende scholen.&lt;/p&gt;               &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Zowel in het onderwijs als op de arbeidsmarkt worden de restrictieve maatregelen verantwoord met het argument van de levensbeschouwelijke neutraliteit: uiterlijke tekenen van geloof horen niet thuis in de openbare sfeer. In de allochtone gemeenschappen hechten weinig mensen geloof aan dat argument. Onze mensen voelen zich geviseerd door de 'neutrale' maatregel in Antwerpen.&lt;/p&gt;               &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ook het Minderhedenforum vindt dat het argument geen steek houdt. Instellingen kunnen en moeten levensbeschouwelijk neutraal zijn, mensen kunnen nooit neutraal zijn. Ze dragen altijd politieke, levensbeschouwelijke en andere overtuigingen in zich, de ene persoon en de ene overtuiging al zichtbaarder dan de andere. Zolang ze daar geen punt van maken is er geen probleem.&lt;/p&gt;               &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Het is tijd dat we de theoretische discussies achter ons laten. De overheid moet in de eerste plaats de concrete gevolgen van het steeds vaker opduikende hoofddoekverbod inschatten.&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;De maatregel in Antwerpen werkt contraproductief voor de ontplooiingskansen van moslimvrouwen of -meisjes en is &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;nefast&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;voor het respectvol samenleven met de islamitische minderheid in Vlaanderen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;               &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Iedereen is het erover eens dat moslimvrouwen alle kansen moeten krijgen om aan hun benarde positie op de arbeidsmarkt te ontsnappen en dat moslims sinds 11 september 2001 aangeschoten wild zijn. In die context mist de Stad Antwerpen een dubbele kans: om vrouwen met een hoofddoek aan het werk te krijgen en om aan alle Antwerpenaars het signaal te geven dat ze gewoon een onderdeel zijn van deze samenleving.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;               &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Blijkbaar heeft de overheid niet de moed om de bevolking aan te zetten om met culturele of religieuze verschillen om te gaan.&lt;/span&gt; Wie vrouwen met een hoofddoek beschouwt als een marginaliseerbare groep krijgt vandaag van de Stad Antwerpen het signaal dat daar een goede reden voor is.&lt;/p&gt;               &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;             &lt;!-- InstanceEndEditable --&gt;&lt;/td&gt;           &lt;/tr&gt;           &lt;tr&gt;              &lt;td class="A6_Link"&gt;&lt;!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="Artikel Link" --&gt;               &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="javascript:openPlayer('http%3A//internetradio.vrt.be/player_detection.html?qsbrand=11&amp;qsODfile=/internetradio_master/productiesysteem2/programma_od/11_r1_vdd_hoofddoekkeulen16.xml');"&gt;voor de dag&lt;/a&gt; (audio) &lt;/p&gt;               &lt;p style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;ct=res&amp;amp;cd=3&amp;url=http%3A//www.minderhedenforum.be/2standpunt/Minderhedenforum%2520-%25202004hoofddoeken.pdf&amp;amp;ei=VmevRba8LMf-wAGDo9wY&amp;usg=__GI9dBMiNVUZQNUyVGmx5bTQyavw=&amp;amp;sig2=eFgdLOUXJIX_rmVlwKPp3w"&gt;basisstandpunt hoofddoeken &lt;/a&gt;(pdf) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.minderhedenforum.be/2standpunt/200701hoofddoekantwerpen.htm"&gt;minderhedenforum- hoofddoek antwerpen&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;span id="ContentBlock1"&gt;.&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;.. uit de praktijkgids sociale cohesie&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;herkenbaarheid&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Werken aan sociale cohesie doe je eerst en vooral door mensen de kans te geven elkaar (beter) te leren kennen.

De actievoerders eisten dat de stad haar plannen om het hoofddoekverbod in te voeren terug opbergt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);font-family:verdana;font-size:7;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Theo Borgermans&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.rorate.com/rorate/scripts/nws_art.php?id=32805"&gt;RKnieuws.net - als je op de hoogte wilt blijven van wat je bezielt...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://tussenpauze.web-log.nl/mijn_weblog/2007/01/eerste_haagse_r.html"&gt;Tussenpauze :&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3 style="font-family: verdana;" class="entry-header"&gt;Eerste Haagse raadslid met hoofddoek&lt;/h3&gt;         &lt;div style="font-family: verdana;" class="entry-body"&gt;      &lt;div class="entry-content"&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: verdana;" class="entry-body"&gt;      &lt;div class="entry-content"&gt;&lt;div class="entry-body"&gt;  &lt;div class="authorname"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ad.nl/denhaag/stad/article960543.ece" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;Bron: AD.nl&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="lead"&gt;&lt;span class="location"&gt;DEN HAAG&lt;/span&gt; - De Marokkaanse Rabia Bouchtaoui (29) volgt het vertrekkende raadslid Raoef Nizamoeddin op in de Haagse gemeenteraad. &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;div class="omloopImage"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.ad.nl/multimedia/archive/00101/rabia_bo_101624h.jpg" height="160" width="300" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div id="image_caption" style="padding: 0pt 15px 15px 0pt; width: 300px;"&gt;Rabia Bouchtaoui.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Dat is woensdagavond beklonken in een vergadering van het partijbestuur en Bouchtaoui, die nummer 3 stond op de kandidatenlijst van Solidair Nederland. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;De trajectbegeleidster voor arbeidsongeschikten wacht ’de zware taak om het gat dat Nizamoeddin heeft achtergelaten op een positieve wijze in te vullen’, laat partijvoorzitter Ewald Badloe weten, die maandag zelf de ontslagbrief van Nizamoeddin namens hem naar de burgemeester en de griffie heeft gestuurd, omdat het ex-raadslid daar zelf ’geen zin’ in zou hebben gehad. Bouchtaoui woont sinds acht jaar in Den Haag, groeide op in Rotterdam en werd geboren in het Marokkaanse Nador. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Ze wordt het eerste Haagse raadslid met een hoofddoek; ze is praktiserend moslima. Ze zegt zich ’de komende drie jaar volledig te willen inzetten voor de partij en om het verleden te doen vergeten’. Ze heeft geen politieke ervaring. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;****************************************************************&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Commentaar:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Tja waarom ook niet, als die mevrouw zich bij een hoofddoek gemakkelijk voelt? En dat ze geen politieke ervaring heeft nou dat hadden de meeste niet toen ze in de politiek stapten, Tussenpauze wenst mevrouw Bouchtaoui veel succes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Harry F.

Ze wilden daarmee protesteren tegen het hoofddoekverbod dat het nieuwe stadsbestuur wil invoeren voor het stedelijk loketpersoneel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De stad wil op die manier neutraal overkomen bij de bevolking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De actie ging uit van het Platform Allochtone Vrouwen (PAV), het Vrouwen Overleg Komitee (VOK) en nog enkele andere organisaties. Zij zijn teleurgesteld, maar vooral ook diep verontwaardigd over deze nieuwe politiek. "De neutraliteit moet gewaarborgd zijn op het niveau van de dienstverlening, niet op het niveau van het uiterlijk", klonk het bij verschillende deelnemers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; "Wij hadden verwacht dat het nieuw verkozen bestuur - dat er mede dankzij de stemmen van de allochtone kiezers gekomen is - een beleid zou voeren dat alle burgers van de stad ten goede zou komen.

It was launched January 14, 2007 in the memory of the young Haitain journalist Abdias Jean on the second anniversary of his murder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Haitianalysis aims to provide young Haitian journalists a direct route to English speaking audiences, bypasing the need for corporate intermediaries. To accomplish this we plan to provide monetary, technological, and human/translation resources to young inspired Haitian journalists from poor backgrounds. We also aim to provide a positive perspective on grassroots civil society and look at the underreported news and events in Haiti and that affect Haiti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We hope to both investigate and contextualize with in-depth stories to target a broad audience including the general public, Haitians, non-Haitians, academics, journalists, activists, investors, and policy makers from different countries. While the site publishes opinion and news articles, it aims for accuracy in the facts presented in all articles. Our format is inspired by publications such as Zmagazine and our sister publication &lt;a href="http://www.venezuelanalysis.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Venezuelanalysis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10262067-7609989483105301110?l=volksgazet.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.haitianalysis.com/' title='Haitianalysis'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://volksgazet.blogspot.com/feeds/7609989483105301110/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10262067&amp;postID=7609989483105301110' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10262067/posts/default/7609989483105301110'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10262067/posts/default/7609989483105301110'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://volksgazet.blogspot.com/2007/01/haitianalysis.html' title='Haitianalysis'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10262067.post-1247508003828617178</id><published>2007-01-16T04:16:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-01-16T04:16:19.531+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Nazanin could be freed on bail immediately ! :: Help Nazanin ::</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.helpnazanin.com/Updates.aspx#20070115-3"&gt;:: Help Nazanin :: Update&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Etemaad Newspaper in Iran, which also reported Nazanin's original death sentence in January 2006, three out of the five judges in Nazanin's retrial have ordered that dieh "blood money" be paid to the family of the man who was killed, although the other two had recommended Nazanin's unconditional freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nazanin's lawyers intend to appeal the payment of blood money, but since this appeal may take several months, they have also requested bail so that Nazanin may be released from prison immediately.

controle door de arbeiders zal van        cruciaal belang zijn naast het effectief overgaan tot het vestigen van        een systeem van arbeidersdemocratie. Er moeten historische lessen        getrokken worden uit de Allende-regering in Chili die in 1973 werd        omvergeworpen door een militaire staatsgreep onder leiding van Pinochet.        Vlak na zijn eedaflegging trok Chavez naar Nicaragua om de eedaflegging        van Daniel Ortega mee te maken. De Sandinisten gingen destijds slechts        over tot de nationalisatie van zowat 25% van de industriële capaciteit.        Het zorgde ervoor dat de kapitalisten nog steeds de controle behielden        en de deur open zetten voor een contrarevolutie.     &lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p&gt;            &lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;       Er zal volledig moeten gebroken worden met het kapitalisme en de aanzet        moet worden gegeven voor een socialistische federatie van in eerste        instantie Venezuela, Cuba en Bolivia. Dat zou het begin vormen van de        opbouw van een socialistisch alternatief in Latijns-Amerika en nadien        ook elders.&lt;/span&gt;     &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.offensief.demon.nl/archives/2007/01/entry_107.html"&gt;Offensief - voor strijd, solidariteit en socialisme! : Venezuela: Chavez kondigt nationalisaties aan en roept zichzelf uit tot 'trotskist'&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10262067-1408363232336316703?l=volksgazet.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.offensief.demon.nl/archives/2007/01/entry_107.html' title='Venezuela: Chavez kondigt nationalisaties aan en roept zichzelf uit tot &apos;trotskist&apos;'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://volksgazet.blogspot.com/feeds/1408363232336316703/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10262067&amp;postID=1408363232336316703' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10262067/posts/default/1408363232336316703'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10262067/posts/default/1408363232336316703'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://volksgazet.blogspot.com/2007/01/venezuela-chavez-kondigt.html' title='Venezuela: Chavez kondigt nationalisaties aan en roept zichzelf uit tot &apos;trotskist&apos;'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10262067.post-4953631147850907510</id><published>2007-01-13T09:43:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-01-13T09:47:19.857+01:00</updated><title type='text'>"Raak én pijnlijk"</title><content type='html'>&lt;p style="font-family: verdana;" class="intro"&gt;                                                               &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;" class="intro"&gt;Soms krijgen strijdbare socialisten gelijk vanuit de meest vreemde hoeken.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: verdana;" class="intro"&gt;Gisteren was het de beurt aan de Gazet van Antwerpen én... het Vlaams Belang om Jef Sleeckx gelijk te geven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: verdana;" class="intro"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Naar aanleiding van de vorming van het nieuwe Antwerpse stadsbestuur werd kritiek gegeven op de centralisatie van alle macht in de SP.a en het stadsbestuur in handen van slechts enkele figuren rond Patrick Janssens.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Na de gemeenteraadsverkiezingen en bij de vorming van een nieuw Antwerps stadsbestuur was het duidelijk dat Patrick Janssens de touwtjes stevig naar zich toe trok. Slechts enkelen werden daar mee in betrokken, onder andere Monica De Coninck die naast OCMW-voorztter ook parlementslid is en schepen in Antwerpen. Janssens zelf is ook tegelijk parlementslid en burgemeester met een hoop lokale bevoegdheden. Zowel de Gazet van Antwerpen als het VB vinden dat toch wat veel voor twee mensen. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;“Of zoals de oude ‘hardcore’ socialist Jef Sleeckx het stelt:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt; hoe kan je als &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;socialist&lt;/span&gt; met drie dik betaalde jobs&lt;/span&gt; aan een werkloze uitleggen waarom hij geen baan heeft?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;”, zo luidde het in de Gazet van Antwerpen in een editoriaal commentaar. Het VB haalde dat aan op haar website. De partij voegde er nog aan toe: "Raak én pijnlijk."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Misschien nog even vermelden: Filip Dewinter is Vlaams parlementslid, gemeenteraadslid in Antwerpen en de officieuze partijleider van het VB. Drie jobs die samen zorgen voor een dik loon.... Frank Vanhecke doet het even goed: voorzitter van het VB, Europees parlementslid én Brugs gemeenteraadslid. De opmerking van Sleeckx was ook voor de leiding van het VB "raak én pijnlijk".&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.lsp-mas.be/lsp/archief/2007/01/10/raak.html"&gt;LSP Archief -- "Raak én pijnlijk"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10262067-4953631147850907510?l=volksgazet.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.lsp-mas.be/lsp/archief/2007/01/10/raak.html' title='&quot;Raak én pijnlijk&quot;'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://volksgazet.blogspot.com/feeds/4953631147850907510/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10262067&amp;postID=4953631147850907510' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10262067/posts/default/4953631147850907510'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10262067/posts/default/4953631147850907510'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://volksgazet.blogspot.com/2007/01/raak-n-pijnlijk.html' title='&quot;Raak én pijnlijk&quot;'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10262067.post-6088666322735487815</id><published>2007-01-13T06:01:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-01-13T06:01:56.901+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Comfortably numb: young people, drugs and the seductions of popular culture</title><content type='html'>&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-16142470_ITM"&gt;Youth Studies Australia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Karen Brooks believes young people have become part of what she terms resistance conformity.&lt;br /&gt;That is, &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;they believe they are fashioning for themselves a unique identity carved in their own self-image when in reality they are donning a prefabricated corporate and cultural mould&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brooks stresses the need for parents, educators and caregivers to educate young people to be discerning in their pop culture consumption, and for adults to educate themselves about what young people are consuming.&lt;br /&gt;If cultural pedagogy is used to empower young people to 'read' images of themselves, and to provide them with tools to decrypt these images, young people will be able to be more discriminatory and discerning about what they view and how they view it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;

One can be sure that the peoples of the region will unite in a broad anti-imperialist front and realize finally brotherly relations between all nationalities living there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Analysis by Mohamed Hassan *&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;To understand what is happening in the Horn of Africa,  the nature of the TPLF-regime of Zenawi Meles in Ethiopia that sent its troops into Somalia last month must first be explained.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) was created in 1975. In its first manifesto it said its main objective was to create the Independent republic of Tigray. This is a narrow nationalist and racist approach that makes language the first factor to unite or divide people. There was opposition to this narrow vision within the TPLF itself as well as within the other organisations and fronts that fought against the Mengistu regime, the dictatorship of that time. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.pvda.be/images/solidair2007/01/ethiopia.gif" align="right" height="289" width="280" /&gt;The mainstream idea was that Tigray was part of Ethiopia and there was no reason to claim independence for Tigray. The main objective for the liberation struggle in Ethiopia was to create a new Ethiopia based on equality of nationalities and brotherly relations with all neighboring countries. After 50 years of war this very rich region inhabited by poor people desired a new start and  the beginning of a developing economy.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Zenawi Meles is a great demagogue and a liar. He uses Marxism-Leninism today and tomorrow he will use Buddhism. The day after he will read a few books and be the champion of Hinduism against Buddhism. He hid his narrow Tigray-nationalist agenda of TPLF and  created the Marxist Leninist League of Tigray to gain control of the TPLF and eliminate all opposition against his narrow racist ideology within it.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In the eighties when the struggle against the Mengistu dictatorship became stronger he also created  the EPRDFF which was a larger front of different organisations representing different nationalities living in Ethiopia, under the leadership of the TPLF. Meles pretended to unite Ethiopian nationalities in the struggle for the liberation of Ethiopia, but all the time its real objective was the creation of a greater Tigray, that controls the other nationalities and regions in Ethiopia.&lt;br /&gt;Once the Mengistu-regime fell, a transitional government was formed. The EPLF (Eritrean People Liberation Front) from te neighboring country Eritrea that was occupied by Ethiopia, convinced all the other organisations who were members of this government that it was better to give military control of the country to the army of TPLF. When Zenawi saw that in the regional elections of 1992 the Omore liberation front won they began eliminating its members from the government and the OLF left the government. Instead of following a policy of integration of the different nationalities, Zenawi followed a policy of “divide and rule” against all the other nationalities in Ethiopia. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Today Zenawi’s unbelievably narrow and reactionary dream of “a greater Tigray” has become reality. The population of Tigray is only 6% of the Ethiopian population (76 million) and Tigray is a poor region, situated at 800 km from the capital Addis Ababa. But it is Tigrzay-people who control 99% of public services and 98% of trade.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;All opposition and protest is brutally repressed and the rule of the TPLF/EPRDF is maintained by narrow racist nationalist policies that divide the different Ethiopian nationalities.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In reality this is a very dangerous situation first of all for the Tigray people itself. I know many people from Tigray who have lived their whole lives in Addis Ababa and who flee the country, because they fell themselves more and more hated each day by their neighbors of whom the overwhelming majority are non Tigrway.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;At the same  time the regime is very weak and depends completely on the support of the USA. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The May 2005 elections were a big defeat for the EPRDF. The official results published a month after the elections put the EPRDF in a minority position of 45%. The EU observers confirmed the defeat of the EPRDF. However the official election committee did an “investigation” and finally gave 60% to the EPRDF. The leaders of the main opposition parties were put in jail and many people were killed. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In the past year, the opposition inside Ethiopia has become more radical. In August 2006, a group of high-ranking officers led by General Kamal Galchuu joined the Oromo Liberation Front. In the Orome area a real intifadah started up and a few months ago, the OLF launched an appeal to all opposition groups to join the united front ADF (Alliance for Democracy and Freedom).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The USA is pleased with the situation because this way it has a puppet that completely depends on its financial, political and military support. The Ethiopian state is becoming more and more a CIA-led state that is very isolated.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The conflict with Eritrea&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In fact the military capacity of the EPRDF in the eighties was relatively weak. It was its close relationship with the Eritrean People’s Liberation Front (EPLF) that was militarily strong that made victory over the dictator Mengisthu in 1991 possible. It was the troops of the EPLF that liberated the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa. But the EPLF was a liberation movement of a neighboring country, Eritrea, that had been occupied by Ethiopia since 1952 and was annexed in 1962. And the objective of the EPRF was to liberate Eritrea from the Ethiopian occupation. So it formed a close alliance with the EPRDF/TPLF to topple the Ethiopian government. Once this was done, the EPLF took over the administration of Eritrea and organized in Eritrea a referendum in 1993 where more then 98% of Eritreans voted for independence. While in Ethiopia a transitional government was formed led by EPRDF/TPLF.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The EPLF held on to its ideals of a liberation movement that wanted to develop its country for the interest of its people. So it followed a policy based upon self-reliance, mobilising the population, installing national structures, refusing outside interference via Western NGOs and controlling foreign trade. The EPLF also followed a policy based on national integration and cohabitation of the 9 Eritrean nationalities and the two religions (Christian and Muslim).&lt;br /&gt;This was just the opposite of the policy Zenawi followed in Ethiopia that was based on privatisation, foreign donors and the policy of International institutions such as the IMF and the WB. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Confronted with this difference, Eritrea decided in 1997 to stop using the Ethiopian pound and chose to have its own currency, the Nakfa. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;From then on, there were many provocative acts and killings of Eritrean officers and soldiers at the border that triggered off a war, which lasted from 1998 to 2000.&lt;br /&gt;It was a catastrophic war; on the Ethiopian side 135.000 soldiers died. In fact the Ethiopians lost the war and were forced to accept the Algiers agreement in 2000.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The  agreement included three phases:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ol start="1" type="1"&gt;&lt;li&gt;A commission of the International Court in The Hague would decide on the territorial dispute and the exact location of the border.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Another commission of the International Court would decide on the claims of the two parties for confiscation or damage to property of citizens thate were confiscated by the other side.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Finally a commission of the African Union would decide on the question which country started the war and should have the responsibility to compensate for the immense damage that was caused by the war.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt; &lt;p&gt;The two first commissions have already concluded in favor of the Eritrean position and claims. It is almost certain that the third commission will condemn Ethiopia, because the Ethiopian government accused Eritrea of starting the war by an air-attack against the city of Adi-Grat and occupying the village Badima. This story of Eritrean jets bombing this city was a lie; once the commission examines this story, the truth will be crystal clear. What is more: the first commission already decided that Badima was Eritrean territory. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;So there is a sword of Damocles hanging above the government of Zenawi Meles. Until now the African Union, under pressure from the USA, postponed the foundation of the third commission. But sooner or later, this third commission will be formed.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The very risky war against Somalia &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The extremely fragile position of the Meles-regime can explain its offensive to attack Somalia last December. Indeed, by attacking Somalia under pretext of attacking “the allies and even members of Al Qaeda” Zenawi wants to position himself as a friend of the U.S. and Bush's strong man in the Horn of Africa in the US global war against Islamic terror. But this is a very risky operation.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;First of all,&lt;/strong&gt; Ethiopia and Somalia have had a long history of animosity and wars. For the Somalis the Ethiopian invasion is an aggression of an archenemy. It could be compared to a military intervention by Germany in Belgium or France. Somalis are one people, have one language and one religion. The only factor that is dividing them is the clans. Confronted with a foreign occupation force, however, they can unite and deal heavy blows. It was the Americans themselves who experienced this in 1993. At that moment they had sent 30.000 marines to the country in a military operation called “Restore Hope”. But soon they had to withdraw because of their losses and the fact that the dead corpses of American soldiers were dragged through the streets in front of the cameras.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Second,&lt;/strong&gt; the Somali people are tired of the chaos and destruction of 16 years of a warlord regime. However it is just the same warlords who have been protected and brought to power again in Mogadishu by the Ethiopian army. The warlords were hated before by all Somalis for their corruption. Now they will be despised as traitors and stooges for the number one enemy of the Somali people, Ethiopia.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Third,&lt;/strong&gt; The overwhelming majority of Somalis saw the Islamic Courts as a stabilizing factor. This support of the Islamic Courts was not a support for international terrorists.  Most jihadists do not speak Somali and few speak Arabic. They stand out too much with their different eating habits and clothing. When the population helped the Islamic Courts to defeat the warlords in a few weeks time and then to liberate practically the whole country in six months, it was because they were tired of the anarchy, the pillage of the warlords. You must know that since 1991, 3 million Somalis have left the country and the Somali diaspora are often modern secular people who try to help their country in spite of the warlords’ corruption. And they are very ingenious at doing that. For example, in spite of all the chaos, Somalia is one of the only African countries where every village has good telephone communication facilities. There is an informal banking system (1 billion $ a year). There are five private airways and so on. A large number of Diaspora Somalis were willing to return to Somalia, and rebuild the country, once peace and security were ensured. When Somali businessmen went to the American embassy in Nairobi to invite them to come to Somalia and see for themselves that there were no Al Qaeda members in the Islamic Courts, the Americans refused. They will never forget nor forgive the USA and their puppet Ethiopia for bringing Somalia back to the reign of terror and chaos of the warlords. And in their eyes it is crystal clear that the talk about Al Qaeda’s presence in Somalia is nothing else then the excuse, the lie that must justify the war. Just like the lies about the weapons of mass destruction of Saddam used to justify the aggression against Irak.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fourth,&lt;/strong&gt; all Somalis are aware of the fact that in the sixteen years of anarchic rule by the warlords, there was never any initiative of the “International Community” to intervene in Somalia. However, just when the Islamic courts brought order and stability, they saw in November last year the UN Security council under the instigation of the USA vote the resolution 1752 that opened the door for the Ethiopian intervention that brought back the terror and anarchy they had just chased away. So the only way the common Somali can see this invasion is that of an aggression against the Somali people and nation.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fifth&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;,&lt;/strong&gt; The invading soldiers of Zenawi in Somalia are largely from his Tigray Christian tribe. These soldiers do not speak the Somali language; once deep inside Somalia, they will be exposed to attacks by the locals. But also in Ethiopia itself, Zenawi needs these men back as soon as possible because he needs them to confront the growing revolt in his own country. It is true; the Americans are negotiating with Uganda and Nigeria to deliver 8000 troops to replace the Ethiopian army. But who will pay for this operation and will these poor governments take the risk of being sucked into the swamp of a guerilla war? Certainly the different neighboring countries such as Kenya and Uganda take high risks because there are many Somali refugees living in Kenya who will not forget nor forgive a Kenyan engagement on the side of Ethiopia.. The Ugandan economy largely depends on the Kenyan harbor of Mombassa, but near this harbor there is a city Lamui where Somalis are in the majority… So it may well be that Zenawi’s troops will be forced to stay too long in Somalia and that they will be sucked into a swamp that will be fatal for the TPLF/regime.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is the role of the Americans in this war?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Zenawi regime is a rogue force used in the hands of American imperialism in the region. Since Antony Lake, Clinton’s national security advisor, indicated Ethiopia as one of the four countries (the others were Nigeria, South Africa and Egypt) that are decisive for the defense of American interests in Africa, the government of Zenawi has had all the support it needed. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Ethiopian army is at present being reformed as a local mercenary force in the service of the Americans that can be used against any country in the region. On one of the American army’s websites, Stars and Stripes (&lt;a href="http://www.estripes.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.estripes.com/&lt;/a&gt;), one could read on 30 December the testimony of one of the sixty American instructors who are training Ethiopian soldiers. Sgt. 1st Class Bill Flippo is an instructor based at Camp Hurso near in the city of Dire Dawa, Ethiopia. He says; &lt;em&gt;“I feel that what I’m doing now  is really helping to fight the war on terror,” &lt;/em&gt;Flippo said. &lt;em&gt;“The knowledge we are giving to these  soldiers is what they will use if they go and fight in Somalia, Eritrea or wherever.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Many observers note that the invasion of Somalia by Ethiopia was not only encouraged, and protected by the USA, but even paid by USA-money. And after the first successes, American military participated directly with the Ethiopian army in the hunt for leaders of the Islamic courts.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are the American interests in the region?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;There is the presence of oil and gas reserves. Since 1986, four big oil transnational corporations received permission for the first time from the Somalian president Siad Barre to search for oil. And they found important reserves.&lt;br /&gt;But most of all : Somalia has a very strategic location. It has a coast of 3300km. This is the largest coastline in Africa. One part of this coastline is just in front of the most important region in the world for the moment, the Middle East.&lt;br /&gt;Another part of the coastline faces the Indian Ocean. You must know that before the arrival of the Portuguese in the 16th century, there was considerable traffic between India and Africa that passed by harbors on this coast. 10% of the words of the Somali language are words of Indian origin.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Emir of the Indian State of Kudjrad had bodyguards that came from the Horn of Africa. In the Somali harbors there were also Somali who spoke Chinese. They were called “Abanas”. They were translators between the Chinese and businessmen from the African hinterland. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This century the historical wheel is turning again towards the emerging countries of China and India. Chalmers Johnson, author and president of the Japan Policy Research Institute, cites Javed Burki, a former vice-president of the World Bank’s China Department who predicts that by 2025 China will probably have a GDP of $25 trillion in terms of purchasing power parity and will have become the world’s largest economy followed by the US at $ 20 trillion. (&lt;a href="http://www.tomdispatch.com/index.mhtml?pid=2259" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.tomdispatch.com/index.mhtml?pid=2259&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This year we also saw important efforts from China to increase its trade with Africa. China urgently needs oil and other minerals for its rapidly developing economy. And Africa can respond to that need. So the Horn of Africa has become a very strategic place for the next twenty years.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;Since the Bush-government cannot control the whole world, they prefer a policy of deliberately destabilizing the whole region for many years, rather than letting it become a wealthy region that can play a key-role in the increasing trade relations between Africa and the new emerging economies of Asia.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;There are Somalis living in different neighboring countries such as Ethiopia, Kenya, Djibouti. Somali nationalism has ignited and this war will extend into places like Ethiopia, Djibouti and Kenya, known until now mostly as a safari destination for Western tourists. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The peoples of the region are becoming mature. They see what is happening and their first reaction is that of horror. If the Bush agenda of destabilizing and genocide continues, anti-imperialist feelings will increase and people will unite to defend their homes and countries.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;*          Mohamed Hassan is the son of a member of the resistance against the regime of emperor Haile Selasie.

Is an excellent display of the Brazilian culture and &lt;span class="style15"&gt;is of great assistance in building the intelligence and positive behavior&lt;/span&gt; on these kids. Capoeira can also offer &lt;span class="style15"&gt;a great contribution in the psychomotor development and the socialization of the individual.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="style15"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;                     &lt;p&gt; With based on this concepts, &lt;span class="style15"&gt;the Água de Beber Project utilizes capoeira as an incentive for this kids education and their integration in the society. Also creating, plays, musicals, and shows that contain capoeira, maculelê, afro dance, percussion, and other displays of the Afro Brazilian culture.

Adding further strain on the situation, Karzai appointed Akhundzada as a senator and made his brother, Amir Muhammad Akhundzada, Daud's deputy.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;"The president is undermining his own governor," one British official &lt;a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/newspaper/0,,176-2496221,00.html"&gt;told&lt;/a&gt; &lt;i style=""&gt;The Times&lt;/i&gt;.

You know Christmas "wish lists" and "gift exchanges" degrade the concept of giving. You know Christmas marketing is a scam, benefiting manufacturers, stores, and huge corporations, while driving individuals into debt. You know this annual consumer frenzy wreaks havoc on the environment, filling landfills with useless packaging and discarded gifts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;         &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Yet, every year, you cave in and go shopping.&lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The relentless onslaught of advertising exerts constant pressure. So do the unified bleatings of herds of shoppers, who call you "Scrooge" if you fail to enthusiastically join their ritual orgy of consumption. Friends and family needle you with gift requests, store windows beckon with shiny colorful packages, the same "classic" holiday jingles are piped constantly through every speaker in town.&lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;How can you resist? &lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Join the Christmas Resistance Movement!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The growing &lt;b&gt;CHRISTMAS RESISTANCE MOVEMENT&lt;/b&gt; is joined in solidarity against the Shopping Season. For every 100 automatons who call you "Scrooge," there's a sparkly-eyed &lt;b&gt;CHRISTMAS RESISTOR &lt;/b&gt;who supports &lt;b&gt;YOU&lt;/b&gt; in &lt;b&gt;NOT BUYING INTO THE HOLIDAY HYSTERIA. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Together, we boycott Christmas Shopping, Christmas decorations, Christmas cards, and every variety of Christmas Crap. We refuse to support the Holiday Industry. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;We show our love for friends and family by &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;giving our time and care&lt;/span&gt;, not by purchasing consumer goods&lt;/span&gt;. We maintain the integrity of giving by giving spontaneously and from our hearts, rather than during a specified season.&lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;You are not alone.

She was seventeen at the time. Iran is signatory to international treaties which forbid them to execute any one under the age of 18; however they continue to do so. &lt;p&gt;                 The injustice of this case propelled &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.nazanin.ca/"&gt;Nazanin Afshin-Jam&lt;/a&gt; to take immediate action and start a petition to help save the life of her namesake. The petition now has over 200 000 signatures from around the world. &lt;/p&gt;             &lt;p&gt; Since initiating the Save Nazanin Campaign with Mina Ahadi- the Head of the International Committee Against Execution and Stoning- and through the help of other human rights groups and individuals, they have been able to engage the UN, Canadian Parliament, the EU, Amnesty International and others to pressure the Iranian Officials to spare the life of this child. &lt;/p&gt;             &lt;p&gt; On June 1st 2006, the Head of Judiciary Ayatollah Shahroudi announced a stay of execution and the call for a complete new retrial. Nazanin Fatehi’s retrial will take place January 10th, 2007 (20th of Dey 1385 in the Iranian calendar). &lt;/p&gt;             &lt;p&gt;                 In this new trial the Islamic Republic Court will either:&lt;br /&gt;               &lt;br /&gt;                    a) spare the life of Nazanin and release her from prison or&lt;br /&gt;                    b) announce a prison sentence of x number of years or&lt;br /&gt;                    c) re-condemn Nazanin for execution or&lt;br /&gt;                    d) ask Nazanin to negotiate &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_money_%28term%29"&gt;"Dieh"&lt;/a&gt; (Blood Money) with the family of the alleged rapist and have her released subject to her paying that amount.             &lt;/p&gt;             &lt;p&gt; In the meantime the Nazanin Fatehi Trust fund has been set up to help cover her legal fees and campaign costs.

Vorige week nog bleek dat traiteurs, bakkers, beenhouwers die  het met de eindejaarsfeesten extra druk hebben, geen personeel vinden. De VDAB  slaagt er niet in om werkzoekenden te oriënteren naar deze jobs. Ook  knelpuntenberoepen geraken niet  ingevuld.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:'Trebuchet MS';font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:'Trebuchet MS';font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Gisteren werd bekend dat diezelfde VDAB steeds meer  mensen als werkonwillig doorgeeft aan de RVA, de instelling die de  werkloosheidsvergoedingen uitbetaalt.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;color:black;"   &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:'Trebuchet MS';font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;color:black;"   &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:'Trebuchet MS';font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;"  &gt;De RVA schorste dit jaar een record aantal van 20.000  zogenaamde werkonwilligen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:'Trebuchet MS';font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:'Trebuchet MS';font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:'Trebuchet MS';font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;De groep van werklozen die voor meer dan een jaar haar  uitkering verliest, wordt niet alleen groter ook de periode van schorsing wordt  langer. Al één geschorste werkloze op de acht moet het langer dan twaalf maanden  rooien zonder tijdelijk inkomen.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:'Trebuchet MS';font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:'Trebuchet MS';font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;De RVA weet  niet hoe de geschorste werkloze zijn  inkomen vergaart. Van ongeveer 30 procent wordt in geen enkel bestand van de  sociale zekerheid een spoor teruggevonden. Een heel deel valt vermoedelijk terug  op het inkomen van de partner, sommigen kloppen aan bij het OCMW, anderen werken  in het zwart. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:'Trebuchet MS';font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:'Trebuchet MS';font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Allicht zijn een aantal van deze geschorste  werkzoekenden terug te vinden in de armoedestatistieken. Welzijnszorg wijst er  in haar adventskampanje op dat de armoede in Vlaanderen toeneemt en dat het  aantal mensen die enkel nog beroep kunnen doen op voedselpakketten ondertussen  is opgelopen tot 106.550 mensen. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:'Trebuchet MS';font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:'Trebuchet MS';font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;"  &gt;De VDAB illustreert hierbij het failliet van de actieve  welvaartsstaat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:'Trebuchet MS';font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;"  &gt;  Iedereen betrekken bij de samenleving en hen een volwaardige rol toebedelen  heette het in de geschriften van Frank Vandenbroucke, één van de architecten van  de actieve welvaartsstaat.

Dit wanbeleid opent bovendien opnieuw de discussie van de  klusjes in ruil voor een uitkering. Wat VLD kamerlid Rik Daems al gisteren zei,  wordt nu overgenomen in het vierde burgermanifest van Guy Verhofstadt; langdurig  werklozen behouden hun uitkering alleen als ze in ruil daarvoor klusjes doen,  zoals buurten proper houden of helpen bij ouderen of kinderen  opvangen&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:'Trebuchet MS';font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:'Trebuchet MS';font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:'Trebuchet MS';font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Donderdag keurt de meerderheid het krediet van 400,964 miljoen euro goed  voor de VDAB.

Voor 400,964  miljoen heeft het parlement recht op  duidelijkheid.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:'Trebuchet MS';font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:'Trebuchet MS';font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:'Trebuchet MS';font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:'Trebuchet MS';font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mieke Vogels&lt;/strong&gt;,&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:'Trebuchet MS';font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Fractieleidster Groen!

Het aantal daklozen dat opvang wenst in Brussel stijgt onmiskenbaar. Tijdens de winter beschikt het Brusselse gewest weliswaar over 350 extra bedden - naast de 1.078 bedden in de reguliere daklozenopvang - maar een structurele oplossing is dat niet, klagen welzijnswerkers. &lt;/td&gt;                     &lt;/tr&gt;                     &lt;tr&gt;                         &lt;td colspan="2" height="5" nowrap="nowrap"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                     &lt;/tr&gt;                     &lt;tr&gt;                         &lt;td colspan="2"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                     &lt;/tr&gt;                     &lt;tr&gt;                         &lt;td colspan="2" height="5" nowrap="nowrap"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                     &lt;/tr&gt;                     &lt;tr&gt;                         &lt;td class="introtext" colspan="2" valign="top"&gt; "Meer noodopvang klinkt sympathiek voor de publieke opinie, maar het blijft zeer symptomatisch", zegt Edwin Vanhollebeke van het CAW (centrum algemeen welzijnswerk) Archipel dinsdag in De Standaard, Het Nieuwsblad en Het Volk.

Bovendien duren schorsingen steeds langer.  Slechts 10% van de geschorsten zou werk hebben gevonden na hun schorsing, ruim  de helft blijft werkloos zonder uitkering. Van bijna één geschorste op drie weet  men niet waar ze terechtkomen. Een deel van hen moet aankloppen bij het OCMW.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Laat er geen twijfel over zijn: een evenwichtige activering kan werklozen helpen  om terug aansluiting te vinden bij de arbeidsmarkt. Verder heeft ieder systeem  van sociale uitkeringen nood aan controle, dus ook aan sancties. Toch roepen de  stijgende schorsingscijfers vragen op bij het huidige werkgelegenheidsbeleid.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Het ‘verdwijnen’ van geschorste werklozen is voor Groen! onaanvaardbaar&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;.  Dat men van bijna 1 op 3 geschorsten het spoor verliest, is verontrustend. Hier  zitten mensen die zich volledig terugtrekken van de officiële arbeidsmarkt. maar  ook mensen die moeten aankloppen bij het OCMW. Bovendien weigeren sommige OCMW’s  geschorste werklozen. Voor Groen! is het onaanvaardbaar dat het hoger aantal  schorsingen en de langere schorsingsduur geschorsten in armoede zouden brengen.  Opvolging van deze groep is nodig. Er komen immers te veel signalen van  stijgende armoede van OCMW’s, voedselbanken, mensen met kredietachterstand, …&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Schorsingen scheppen nog geen werk&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;. Wie geen werk zoekt, krijgt geen  uitkering. Toch blijken schorsingen geen instrument om geschorste werklozen aan  het werk te krijgen. Dat slechts één op tien van de geschorsten werk blijkt te  vinden na de schorsing en ruim de helft werkloos blijft zonder uitkering, zegt  ook iets over het structureel tekort aan jobs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Begeleiding gebeurt nog vaak te laat&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;. Tot vandaag werkt de ‘sluitende  aanpak’, waarbij werklozen tijdig een aanbod en begeleiding krijgen, nog altijd  onvoldoende. Bij de curatieve aanpak worden werklozen in het kader van  activering pas systematisch oproepen na 21 maanden (of na 15 maanden voor  jongeren). Wie wil vermijden dat mensen vervreemden van de arbeidsmarkt, moet  sneller een aanbod van opleiding of werk doen, ook in de curatieve aanpak.  Groen! wil dat de Vlaamse regering hier de inspanningen verder opdrijft.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Op de vier jaar van deze federale regeerperiode (2003-2006) schorste de RVA  reeds meer dan 115.000 werklozen (zo’n 70.000 werklozen ‘wegens omstandigheden  afhankelijk van hun wil’, 25.000 administratieve sancties en bijna 20.000  schorsingen wegens langdurige werkloosheid). Het lijkt vandaag dan ook meer dan  ooit nodig om te bewaken dat activering niet omslaat van positieve ondersteuning  in negatieve uitsluitingsmechanismen. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vera Dua, voorzitter Groen!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tinne Van der Straeten, onder-voorzitter Groen!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 102); font-weight: bold;"&gt;en omdat we't zelf niet beter kunnen zeggen :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: verdana;" class="txtPagetitel"&gt;Vierde Burgermanifest Verhofstadt: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Groen! bedankt voor kille individualistische samenleving&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;                     &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Klimaatvoorstellen Verhofstadt ruim onvoldoende&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Verhogen weerbaarheid ja, afbouw sociale bescherming nee!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Verhofstadt wil werklozen en jonge allochtonen weerbaarder maken. &lt;i&gt;“In zijn logica betekent dit dat deze mensen op zich zelf worden teruggeworpen en dat bestaande sociale bescherming wordt afgebouwd”&lt;/i&gt;, reageert Vlaams fractieleider van Groen! Mieke Vogels. Vandaar zijn voorstel om over te stappen van passieve sociale uitkeringen naar uitkeringen die mensen activeren, versta werkloosheidsuitkeringen die beperkt worden in de tijd. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Langdurige werklozen zouden gedwongen worden om in gemeenschapsdienst te treden (in buurten, kinderopvang, scholen). Op dezelfde wijze zouden jonge (allochtone) delinquenten werkstraffen krijgen in gehandicapteninstellingen en hospitalen. &lt;i&gt;“Waardoor men veel welzijnsinstellingen dreigt te stigmatiseren als een soort van strafkampen”&lt;/i&gt;, aldus Mieke Vogels.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Allochtonen die gediscrimineerd worden op de arbeidsmarkt, moeten in dit model zelf hun verantwoordelijkheid opnemen en zeker niet rekenen op quota of diversiteitsplannen. Ook in de derde wereld moet men meer zelf zijn boontjes leren doppen. Migratie naar rijke landen kan niet uit solidariteit met de arme landen in het Zuiden, het kan enkel als dit de rijke landen in het Noorden goed uitkomt: alleen gekwalificeerde mensen zijn welkom (het Canadees model).&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Groen! is vragende partij om mee te denken over soepele loopbanen en nieuwe garanties voor het opbouwen van sociale zekerheidsrechten voor wie tijdskrediet opneemt. &lt;i&gt;“Maar we zijn het niet eens met het uitgangspunt dat iedereen in elk geval veel langer zal moeten werken. Want dan kan het goedbedoelde idee van een loopbaanrekening leiden tot een verzwaring van de werkdruk voor velen, en dat op maat van de werkgever”&lt;/i&gt; aldus nog Mieke Vogels. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Meer groei leidt tot meer opwarming&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Verhofstadt tekent voor een horizontale economie waarin veel beschotten wegvallen. Maar zijn model is duidelijk wel een economie van een onbeperkte groei van productie, logistiek, industriële landbouw. En van de consumptie. Verhofstadt wijst uitdrukkelijk elke kritiek op de consumptiemaatschappij af.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;“Op die manier kan je niet op een geloofwaardige wijze ingaan tegen de klimaatsverandering. Als we altijd maar meer produceren en consumeren, zullen we –ook als we per éénheid van product iets minder CO2 uitstoten– in totaal toch altijd meer blijven vervuilen”&lt;/i&gt;, vindt Groen!-voorzitter Vera Dua.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;“Ik ben wel blij verrast dat de premier opnieuw kiest voor een CO2-heffing. Nu onder de vorm van het veilen van CO2-emissierechten”&lt;/i&gt; stelt Vera Dua. &lt;i&gt;“Maar echt consequent is hij niet, want hij wil meteen de grote energieverbruikers zoals de petrochemie vrijstellen. Wat betekent dat de lasten worden afgewenteld op kleinere bedrijven en de gezinnen”&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Groen! is het er ook niet mee eens dat de opbrengst zou gaan naar een verlaging van de vennootschapsbelasting en niet naar de verlaging van de belasting op arbeid. Groen! heeft altijd een groene fiscale hervorming verdedigd die zowel goed is voor het milieu als voor de werkgelegenheid. &lt;i&gt;“Of een verlaging van de vennootschapsbelasting tot extra jobs leidt, is absoluut niet zeker”&lt;/i&gt; vindt Vera Dua.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Groen! is al lang voorstander van een ecologische modulering van de belasting op auto’s. In plaats van het vermogen van de wagen als basis van de verkeersbelastingen te nemen, kan men beter de vervuiling, de uitstoot van de wagen nemen. Dat is meer dan enkel de CO2-uitstoot. Want wagens die minder CO2-uitstoten, braken wel veel fijn stof uit. Men kan best de totale milieuscore van wagens als uitgangspunt nemen en bijkomende stimuli voorzien voor auto’s die vooruitlopen op de milieunormen.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Groen! heeft wel een probleem met een CO2-belasting voor particuliere woningen. Groen! vindt zeker dat het kadastraal inkomen als basis voor de onroerende voorheffing aan herziening toe is en dat ook nieuwe criteria kunnen ingebracht worden (bv. om wonen in steden te stimuleren). Maar daarnaast wil Groen! vooral inzetten op energieprestatienormen voor nieuwe en voor bestaande woningen. &lt;i&gt;“Via Kyoto-premies willen we alle mensen (te beginnen met de sociaal zwaksten) in staat stellen om hun huizen te renoveren en zo hun energiefactuur te drukken”&lt;/i&gt;, zegt Vera Dua.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Verhofstadt pro kernenergie&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;“Het is bijzonder jammer dat premier Verhofstadt in zijn nieuw burgermanifest zonder omwegen opnieuw kiest voor kernenergie,”&lt;/i&gt; zegt Vera Dua. &lt;i&gt;“Dit deel van zijn verhaal is zeker niet progressief. Hij pleit voor een modernisering van bestaande kerncentrales, voor de vierde generatie van kernreactoren en voor kernfusie”&lt;/i&gt;. Alle geld nodig voor de echte alternatieven (hernieuwbare energie, duurzame biobrandstoffen) gaat zo opnieuw naar investeringen in een verouderde technologie. &lt;i&gt;“De premier is dan toch bezweken voor de druk van Electrabel en Suez”&lt;/i&gt;, besluit Vera Dua.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Vera Dua, voorzitter&lt;br /&gt;Mieke Vogels, fractieleider Groen!

Dat is het verschil.'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Piet Piryns en Hubert Van Humbeeck van Knack interviewen deze week Jozef De  Witte van het Centrum voor Gelijkheid van Kansen en Racismebestrijding, die  pleit voor een open debat over de toekomst van migratie in ons land.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Volgens stafmedewerker Koen Dewulf (CGKR) zijn er naast de zowat 650.000  migranten die intussen Belg zijn geworden nog eens 870.000 vreemdelingen in het  land. 'Driekwart daarvan zijn burgers uit de Europese Unie. Het gaat ook  doorgaans om hooggeschoolde mensen. De migrant draagt een aktetas. Het is dus  juist dat er veel vreemdelingen in België zijn - maar dat zijn wel in de eerste  plaats Nederlanders, Fransen, Spanjaarden. Marokkanen en Turken komen qua aantal  een eind achterop. alleen vallen ze in het straatbeeld wel het meest op.'&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Over regularisering&lt;/b&gt;: 'Er wordt gezegd dat een regularisering een  aanzuigeffect heeft op mensen zonder papieren in andere landen. Het echte  aanzuigeffect is dat mensen die geregulariseerd worden behoorlijker werk kunnen  krijgen of recht hebben op een uitkering. De banen van vijf of zes euro per uur,  die ze in het zwarte circuit hadden, zijn voor hen op dat moment niet meer  interessant. een regularisering moet daarom gepaard gaan met strijd tegen  zwartwerk en uitbuiting. Want de plaats wordt altijd snel weer ingenomen door  andere sukkelaars.'&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Over een migratiestop&lt;/b&gt;: 'Wie voor een echte migratiestop pleit, geeft  ook blijk van weinig historisch besef. Migratie heeft altijd bestaan en zal  altijd bestaan. Internationale instellingen en internationale bedrijven die hier  gevestigd zijn of hier investeren, brengen mee dat er zich vreemdelingen - dat  wil zeggen: mensen die de Belgische nationaliteit niet hebben- in ons land  vestigen. Ik veronderstel dat we daar niet van af willen. Het is ook waanzin om  in de geglobaliseerde wereld te doen alsof je op een eiland zit.' &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Het grootste deel van de buitenlandse bevolking in België is dus Europeaan. Een op de vijf vreemdelingen (21%) heeft de Italiaanse nationaliteit. 13% komt uit Frankrijk en 12% uit Nederland. Marokkanen zijn goed voor 9%, dan volgen Spanje en Turkije met telkens 5%. Duitsland (4%), Portugal (3%), het VK (3%), Congo (2%), Griekenland (2%) en Polen (2%) zijn de andere meest vertegenwoordigde nationaliteiten in ons land. De overige 19% vreemdelingen behoren tot verschillende nationaliteiten, die niet meer dan 1% vertegenwoordigen in de totale mix.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bron: Knack  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;

Voor mensen die hun functie, belangrijke en nodige functie  op de Lijn, gebruiken voor hun eigen agenda, het voeren van een actief  opsporingsbeleid.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: verdana;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;color:gray;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div style="border: 2.25pt solid black; padding: 1pt 4pt; font-family: verdana;"&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 6pt; margin-right: 6pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;"&gt;Een deel van  de mensen zonder &lt;st1:personname st="on"&gt;pap&lt;/st1:PersonName&gt;ieren werd na  enkele, 4 – 6 – 8, uren terug vrij gelaten. Onnodig opgepakt, sommigen al lang  niet meer voor de eerste keer, want niet repatrieerbaar. Toch vast houden.  Ambetant doen. Nog es efkens laten voelen : wat ons hier betreft, one way  ticket. De anderen zitten ondertussen in Merksplas in afwachting van hun  repatriëring.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 6pt; margin-right: 6pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 6pt; margin-right: 6pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;"&gt;Eén van de  mensen die opgepakt werd en nu in Merksplas op zijn repatriëring zit te wachten  is Alpha. Diallo Alpha Amadou. Hij was woordvoerder van &lt;st1:personname st="on"&gt;UDEP&lt;/st1:PersonName&gt;-Antwerpen en het Antwaarps Asiel én één van de  drijvende krachten achter deze bewegingen. Alpha spreekt vloeiend Nederlands,  volgde een cursus stratenmaker bij de VDAB en werkte ook als stratenmaker tot  hij illegaal werd verklaard. Bij zijn vroegere werkgever zou hij onmiddellijk  terug aan de slag kunnen indien hij over geldige verblijfsdocumenten zou  beschikken. Sinds 16 oktober 2006 is hij vader. Moeder en kind verblijven hier  op legale wijze. Bij deze een oproep om binnenlandminister Dewael een schrijven  te sturen met de vraag om Alpha vrij te laten en te regulariseren. Een aantal  gegevens m.b.t. Alpha en zijn situatie vindt U in bijlage evenals het adres  waaraan U uw schrijven kan richten.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 6pt; margin-right: 6pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 6pt; margin-right: 6pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;"&gt;Het valt te  verwachten dat de komende 6 jaar de actieve opsporing, hoewel men het niet zo  benoemt, opgevoerd zal worden. In het bestuursakkoord staat immers te lezen dat  vanaf nu bij IEDERE administratieve controle gaande van auto's tot huis aan  huiscontroles, tot krot-op acties, tot rattenbestrijding, tot fietslichtcontole,  tot sluikstortbestrijding, tot elke mogelijke vorm van overlastbestrijding, tot,  tot, tot … DVZ ingeschakeld kan worden in geval betrokkene niet over geldige  verblijfs&lt;st1:personname st="on"&gt;pap&lt;/st1:PersonName&gt;ieren beschikt. Elke  administratieve controle- kan m.a.w. ingepast worden en gebruikt worden in het  kader van actieve opsporing. En dan komen we terug bij het begin van dit  verhaal. Veel diensten, veel ambtenaren in deze stad leveren fijn werk af ten  dienste van de bevolking. Maar in elke dienst vind je wel ergens figuren a la  'pinhelm'.  Figuren die hun bevoegdheid oneigenlijk gebruiken door systematisch  DVZ in te schakelen  en aan actieve opspring te doen. Met dit bestuursakkoord  krijgen de 'pinhelmen' van deze stad carte blanche. Fijn samenleven wordt dat  hier in Antwerpen, in Antwerpen Noord in het bijzonder de komende 6 jaar.  &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 6pt; margin-right: 6pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 6pt; margin-right: 6pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;"&gt;Het signaal  dat de Burgemeester gaf tijdens het laatste wijkoverleg was ook al weinig  hoopgevend in het kader van het bevorderen van het samenleven op het Noord.  Kopen was zijn boodschap. Huizen kopen. Dit op het moment dat de  betaalbaarheidindex - een weging van de waarde van een huis, de rentevoet en de  lonen - van woningen gevoelig daalt, een trend die zich volgens analisten de  volgende jaren zal verder zetten. Een woning kopen wordt m.a.w. een stuk  duurder. Even in cijfers ? Een eengezinswoning kost al gauw 150,000 euro. Daar  mag je, zonder zot te doen zoals dat heet, nog eens 50,000 euro bovenop leggen  gezien de verouderde staat van het woningenbestand op 't Noord. Een slordige  200.000 euro afbetalen is niet weg gelegd voor de lage inkomenscategorieën. De  critici van het 'moderne' stadsontwikkelingsbeleid die stellen dat die gepaard  gaat met georganiseerde sociale verdringing, zien met lede ogen hun gelijk  bevestigd. De enkele gemeenteraadsleden die voor wijk- en stadsontwikkeling  kiezen met zijn huidige bewoners, op maat van de huidige bewoners, op de  draagkracht van de huidige bewoners, zullen nog veel weerwerk moeten leveren.  Onze steun hebben ze alvast. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 6pt; margin-right: 6pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 6pt; margin-right: 6pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;"&gt;En dan  &lt;st1:personname st="on"&gt;UDEP&lt;/st1:PersonName&gt; en het Antwaarps Asiel. Veel  soelaas hebben de verkiezingen en het bestuursakkoord niet gebracht voor de -  Antwerpse - mensen zonder &lt;st1:personname st="on"&gt;pap&lt;/st1:PersonName&gt;ieren.  Het tegendeel lijkt eerder waar. Ook al zit hun woordvoerder dan nu in een  gesloten instelling, zij trekken terug de straat op. Op de gekende serene maar  wel daadkrachtige manier, ondertussen het handelsmerk van de Antwerpse mensen  zonder &lt;st1:personname st="on"&gt;pap&lt;/st1:PersonName&gt;ieren. donderdag &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;28  december, fakkeltocht, 18,00 u.

Deze richtlijnen (pali:&lt;em&gt; 'sila'&lt;/em&gt;) zijn door Thich Nhat Hanh op een nieuwe manier verwoord, aangepast aan deze tijd. In zijn boek '&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;For a Future to be Possible&lt;/span&gt;' gaat hij op elk van deze regels dieper in. Hij legt er de nadruk op dat de richtlijnen de functie hebben ons te beschermen, niet om onze vrijheid in te perken. Ook stelt hij dat de regels nooit meer dan een richtlijn kunnen zijn - zoals we bijvoorbeeld de poolster kunnen gebruiken om koers te houden, zonder de verwachting te hebben daar ooit aan te komen. De verwoording van de Engelse (en dus ook de Nederlandse) versie van de vijf richtlijnen is de afgelopen jaren steeds in beweging geweest. De meest recente verandering betreft de vertaling van het woord 'sila', gewoonlijk weergegeven als 'leefregels' of 'richtlijnen' ('precepts').&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Volgens Thich Nhat Hanh ligt de vertaling van sila als 'aandachtsoefeningen' ('mindfulness-trainings') dichter bij de oorspronkelijke betekenis. Tijdens een lezing over 'Right Mindfulness' (september '96) zei hij ondermeer het volgende over de Vijf Aandachtsoefeningen: '&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Waar aandacht is is concentratie. Als we heel aandachtig zijn, zijn we tegelijk ook heel geconcentreerd. Als je je een tijdlang op iets concentreert zal het onderwerp van je concentratie zich aan je openbaren en wordt inzicht geboren. Aandacht leidt dus tot concentratie en concentratie leidt tot inzicht.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In de eerste lezingen die de Boeddha gaf sprak hij over "aandacht, concentratie en inzicht". Aan het eind van zijn leven sprak hij over "richtlijnen, concentratie, inzicht". Het volgen van de richtlijnen is precies wat het leven in aandacht inhoudt; hierin komt het leven in aandacht concreet tot uitdrukking. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Je kunt niet "ja" zeggen tegen de meditatie en "nee" tegen de richtlijnen, want de richtlijnen zijn de meditatie.' &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hier volgen de Vijf Aandachtsoefeningen, zoals geformuleerd door Thich Nhat Hanh: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;De eerste oefening&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bewust van het lijden veroorzaakt door de vernietiging van het leven, beloof ik van ganser harte om mededogen te beoefenen en het leven van mensen, dieren, planten en mineralen te leren beschermen. Ik heb het oprechte voornemen om niet te doden, niet toe te laten dat anderen doden en geen enkele daad van geweld, in de wereld, in mijn gedachten of in mijn manier van leven, goed te praten. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid154/p95b7e37de05eaa6a34796a10050b0eb4/f583070d.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;De tweede oefening&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Bewust van het lijden veroorzaakt door uitbuiting, sociaal onrecht, diefstal en onderdrukking, beloof ik van ganser harte om te leren zorgzaam te zijn en me in te zetten voor het welzijn van mensen, dieren, planten en mineralen. Ik beloof van ganser harte me te oefenen in vrijgevigheid door mijn tijd, energie en materiële middelen te delen met allen die dat nodig hebben. Ik heb het oprechte voornemen niet te stelen en me niets toe te eigenen dat van een ander is. Ik zal het eigendom van anderen respecteren, maar trachten te voorkomen dat anderen zich bevoordelen ten koste van mensen of andere levende wezens. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;De derde oefening&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Bewust van het lijden veroorzaakt door onverantwoord seksueel gedrag, beloof ik van ganser harte om verantwoordelijkheidsgevoel te ontwikkelen en de veiligheid en integriteit te respecteren van individuen, paren, gezinnen en van de gemeenschap als geheel. Ik heb het oprechte voornemen om geen seksuele relatie aan te gaan zonder dat er sprake is van liefde en een duurzame verbintenis. Ik beloof mijn eigen relatie en die van anderen te respecteren, terwille van mijn eigen geluk en dat van anderen. Ik zal alles doen wat in mijn vermogen ligt om kinderen te beschermen tegen seksueel misbruik en om te voorkomen dat paren en gezinnen uiteenvallen door onverantwoord seksueel gedrag. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;De vierde oefening&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Bewust van het lijden veroorzaakt door onzorgvuldig spreken en het onvermogen om naar anderen te luisteren, beloof ik van ganser harte om te leren liefdevol te spreken en aandachtig te luisteren, om zo anderen blij en gelukkig te maken en hun lijden te verlichten. Wetend dat woorden geluk of leed kunnen veroorzaken, heb ik het oprechte voornemen om de waarheid te spreken en woorden te kiezen die bijdragen tot zelfvertrouwen, vreugde en hoop. Ik wil geen geruchten verspreiden en geen zaken bekritiseren of veroordelen waar ik niet zeker van ben. Ik zal niets zeggen dat kan leiden tot verdeeldheid of onenigheid of tot het uiteenvallen van gezinnen of van de gemeenschap. Ik zal mijn uiterste best doen om elk conflict -hoe klein ook - te helpen oplossen en verzoening tot stand te brengen. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;De vijfde oefening&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Bewust van het lijden veroorzaakt door onzorgvuldig consumeren, beloof ik van ganser harte zorg te dragen voor een goede geestelijke en lichamelijke gezondheid van mijzelf, mijn familie en de gemeenschap, door zorgvuldig te zijn met wat ik eet en drink en met wat ik verder tot mij neem. Ik neem me voor alleen die dingen te consumeren die vrede, welzijn en blijdschap bevorderen in mijn eigen lichaam en bewustzijn en in het collectieve lichaam en bewustzijn van mijn familie en de maatschappij. Ik heb het oprechte voornemen om geen alcohol of enig ander bedwelmend middel te gebruiken en me te onthouden van het vergif in sommige voedingsmiddelen, televisieprogramma's, tijdschriften, boeken, films en gesprekken. Ik ben me bewust dat wanneer ik mijn lichaam of geest hiermee vergiftig, ik ontrouw ben aan mijn voorouders, ouders, de gemeenschap en de komende generaties. Ik zal mij inzetten om geweld, angst, boosheid en verwarring, in mijzelf en in de samenleving, te transformeren door een bewuste leefwijze. Ik ben me ervan bewust dat een dergelijk 'dieet' van het allergrootste belang is voor mijn eigen transformatie en voor de transformatie van de maatschappij.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;                             &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://jampa.web-log.nl/jampa/"&gt; Jampa's Mandala&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;                                           &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153);font-family:verdana;" &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10262067-1606536542384420953?l=volksgazet.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://jampa.web-log.nl/jampa/2006/08/_de_vijf_aandac.html' title='For a Future to be Possible'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://volksgazet.blogspot.com/feeds/1606536542384420953/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10262067&amp;postID=1606536542384420953' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10262067/posts/default/1606536542384420953'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10262067/posts/default/1606536542384420953'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://volksgazet.blogspot.com/2006/12/mindfulness-training.html' title='For a Future to be Possible'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_lW7mkkCfCCc/RX5f_inLLKI/AAAAAAAAABs/r0qBTxMEa-M/s72-c/000+T.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10262067.post-599665548564455116</id><published>2006-12-12T08:04:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2006-12-12T08:04:55.996+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Tara</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height='350' width='425'&gt;&lt;param value='http://youtube.com/v/EtSpJUVWN4Y' name='movie'&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed height='350' width='425' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='http://youtube.com/v/EtSpJUVWN4Y'&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ochtendmeditatie&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10262067-599665548564455116?l=volksgazet.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://volksgazet.blogspot.com/feeds/599665548564455116/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10262067&amp;postID=599665548564455116' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10262067/posts/default/599665548564455116'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10262067/posts/default/599665548564455116'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://volksgazet.blogspot.com/2006/12/tara.html' title='Tara'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
