Trav Camila Rodriguez
living with the nature is a matter of human survival. Not only gives us livelihood, but the welfare and happiness. Probably why, in our increasingly crowded cities, there is always room for a plant for a pet to a tree for a garden. We can not live without this contact, albeit distant, with Mother Nature.
Do you remember Felix Rodriguez de la Fuente? was he who insisted on the need to educate ourselves to achieve harmonious coexistence with nature. He did it because he was a visionary. Had a revolutionary idea. He believed that man was perfect and happy Paleolithic, hunter-gatherers that perfectly embedded in the environment as just another animal, endowed with an amazing ecological and cultural knowledge, in harmony with the nature of which was nourished and was a member.
man for Felix was not a species, but a synthesis nature, with all the worst and all the best of it, created "with the mists of dawn, with the howl of the wolf, lion's roar "in a close and" complex plot throbbing "and interdependent. Not that I would like us to return to the Stone Age, but I dreamed that one day recover the ecological sensitivity that would make us more tolerant and happy.
What remains of all that happened? Just nothing. This lack of "real touch" with nature in an increasingly urbanized society, is leading us astray. Towards a reckless consumption of natural resources, disaster provocative as impressive as climate change, whose ultimate consequences we can not even imagine. Or the withering of natural resources, a fact so obvious as dramatic.
So when it comes to cohabitation, we can not forget the most important of all, the imperative of we live in harmony with nature . Done that, everything else will follow us.

Why Do Muscles Ache After Gym
Christmas Gift Christmas Gift
The second event that marked the pre-Christmas schedule has been the European summit European Council of 15 to 17 December .
The summit was intended to pass the bailout permanent mechanism for the euro area (on the previous summit and I wrote a post a few days ago ).
Heads of state have met the minimum goals. Important decisions include a) providing permanent the European Financial Stability Fund from 2013-mechanism was used to save Ireland and Greece in recent months, and b) that the mechanism lifeguard is included in the Lisbon Treaty by a brief review of 'limited' in a single article of the Treaty, avoiding procedures that some might consider 'disproportionate' as national referenda.
You can read the text to be added to the Lisbon Treaty here.
I agreed is positive for the future of the Euro, although a significant portion of the measures that had been discussed have been shelved. Including the possibility that the European Central Bank may issue 'Eurobonds' (on the blog you can read Quatremer doubly extent to which the issue of 'Eurobonds' meant a measure recommended for 'calm' markets and help the EU to restructure and here here.) The second significant note is that David Cameron was able to impose their interests from beginning to end, recalling to some extent a time of stagnation for the development of the European Union was the mandate of Margaret Thatcher-(read a good analysis by Forissier in Euractiv here.) During the Summit of Heads of State has finished discussing budget (I wanted Cameron). Likewise, the Member States have included a clause in the stability mechanism by which a hypothetical rescue of a struggling country is far less automatic, and in principle states outside of the Eurozone are free to participate in the process (again in line with what I wanted the first Briton and a 'concerned' Merkel why the EU could use some of their coffers to save States 'insolvent', and yet members of a supposedly community solidarity and the EU-).
Thus last week continued marked by the same dynamic in recent years. The European Council continues to promote a Europe of states, where are they who decide when to 'save', with the euro, or when damage to the Union with the estimate based on your interests and priorities. Parliament Europe, much as the Lisbon Treaty on many matters granted an equal footing, still does not show the self and 'identity' institutional capacity to maintain a political pulse with the Council. To this we add the note 'concern' in the character of Cameron, a politician who has managed to dominate the political agenda and discussed in the press during the last summit of the Union. A politician, not forget, flirted with the idea of \u200b\u200b'out' of the EU a few months ago, on the campaign trail. The problem remains the same as always, intergovernmentalism pays off when all governments have the same priorities. Otherwise, the loser the Union is, in tow permanently hobbled, limited and often ineffective. Do not forget that the interest of having a European Union is precisely to create a structure 'community' that can be erected above the spot and short-term interests of states and instead defend the long-term collective interest of all Europe. 50 years ago we realized that such a project would only be possible if the States decided to 'limit' their power in favor of the supranational structure. It seems as if more integration, more must be done suddenly remember this maxim ...

Can You Get Bulbs For Ikea
I
Go
Hello!
Go
more intense last week at the community level! We thank the EU effort to leave some vital issues closed before Christmas. That have closed the 'best' way is another thing ...
start with the full European Parliament which met from 13 to 16 December in Strasbourg. You can read a good summary of the different issues discussed at the highlights of the European Parliament website ( here ).
of these issues include: a) the approval by the Parliament of the budget 2011 (following the proposal of the Council) and b) approval of system of 'citizens' initiative', enshrined in the Treaty of Lisbon.
On the budget holder with which I'm proposing is that the States has prevailed against the proposals of the Commission and the European Parliament. The two institutions argued that the EU would need at least a 5.9% budget increase to fund the new skills covered by the Treaty of Lisbon, between which include such an entirely new system of diplomatic representation, increasing the safety skills and common policy, a system of coordination with national parliaments, better communication with the public policy ...-. Europe today is a Europe that is more prepared and officially 'able', they wanted the states themselves signing an ambitious Lisbon Treaty (despite having suffered several cuts). Think that these changes do not require further funding will bear fruit or not to invest the necessary money can be seen as a somewhat contradictory attitude politically as well as a challenge to the survival of the venture community.
The European Council, following the reasoning British origin, has succeeded with the justification of the crisis the EU budget increase for 2011 has been at 2.91%. It is significant that countries like France and Germany have used British interests as an excuse to reach an agreement on the minimum and most likely also insufficient.
The 'defeat' the Parliament not only results in the fact that interest state have prevailed against the European spirit of the Parliament, the surrender of PE alluding to 'lesser evil' is disappointing given the promising start two months ago. Also political defeat leaves the European Parliament in a very compromised position for future negotiations. This budget was accepted without any political deal that gives the Parliament a better position in view of the debate on the general framework of the EU budget for 2013-2020. MEPs also voted without getting any guarantee to the creation of 'capital' by EU tax, a nucleus that propose the camera with the Commission to win financial autonomy.
has clearly lost the first assault, and states in an alliance somewhat hypocritical and risky, they have allowed even sign a letter (Germany and France by in the UK!) to ask the Commission to the financial capacities of the Union 'freeze' for 2013-2020 ...
Rarely give us the opportunity to use a tone so critical, but States are moving from a strategy that consisted of 'privileged' interests to a strategy in which we wonder if they see the future of the Union as a 'secondary' and even 'expendable'. And that is a substantive change, where other institutions must begin to be aware that in this context, or stiffen the defense of the project or the EU can become paralyzed really important during the coming years.
I recommend The Chronicles of the House: Fabien Cazenave: ' Européen Budget 2011: nous avons perdu aux États face' , Brussels Blog: ' EU Summit: the British budget letter' Eve in Europe ' We closed 2010 with a new instrument for citizenship '-on 'initiative ciudadana'-Euractiv: ' L'Europe on a budget enfin pour 2011 '.

The face of the European Parliament (Pereda II)
MEPs: show
political confrontation Rather than solve the equation 'institution or person ", it is simply giving other information. that should be exploited to translate the existence of political confrontation, because that is what arouses interest . Hence the success of initiatives such as Tweet Your MEP or MEPs who write in the key 'political' and personal blogs. In a European legislature has over 3000 legal regulations, all involve a discussion policy, all of them are an excuse to 'connect' politically with the city. Ignacio Samper, in his conclusions (compiled by the Ear of Europe) says it in 3 minutes: the problem is not communicating, "it communicates a lot," but what .
Socialist MEPs Why would not respond when asked for his 'contradictory' abstention Barroso's reelection? Popular MEPs Why not explain what the policy implications of return? Fleeing political confrontation is immediate guarantee of being 'sidelined' . Many community stakeholders have been hidden too long confrontation with the excuse of limited legitimacy or fear of the impact their work could be nationwide. Today there is no excuse.

The cross of the European Parliament (Pereda III)
Working with targets, with regular monitoring and having clear objectives. The European Parliament must continue providing itself as it is doing the 'expertise' needed to be aware of the 'state' and the evolution of digital debate on Europe. The European Parliament's ability to reach citizens and penetrate the network society is foremost in their own hands .
The other side of the communication is made by the Parliament as a public institution . There is a need to break the prejudices in relation to an alleged 'line' editorial untouchable Parliament, central and unique . In the institutional triangle Parliament is the institution with more 'hip game' against the interests of Member States, and more with the Lisbon Treaty (though is the current bogeyman moms to mourn the poor children). The specifcity and possibilities of Parliament should be synonymous with boldness and greater freedom of action compared with the Commission or Council (as they already do many of the MEPs politically on issues like the budget or the policy of access to premises for officers of a body to another).
The voice of the European Parliament are mainly MEPs, as well Barbara insisted in his presentation. They are the main 'Internet' and 'users' to be promoted and pushed to join the network by institutional managers PE communication. However
not be the only ones. There platforms 'connect' with the citizens, which are collective and maintaining the character 'institutional' -without impersonal. As Writing for (y) EU or Talking about the EU. Increasingly the spokespersons of the Directors General of the Commission are in a twitter, blogs have increasingly ... vice president of political parties based part of his work in the field online. Parliament must find a way to 'expand' all these inner voices legitimate and PE-including his own by EuroparlTV, EUTube ...

When politicians were afraid (Pereda I)
Hello!
This weekend European Parliament Office in Madrid convened a seminar on the challenges of corporate communications and social networking community. I leave my summaries in the form of three small posts. The hashtag for those who want to be aware of all that comes and everything that was discussed is # Peredes , and the program can consult papers here.
transverse element out
The strategy is being questioned is to have a private discourse, and other public . There is growing demand of politics in other ways and in that sense, representative institutions that seek to overcome the 'disconnect' with the current citizenship-demanding, multi-informed, digital and globalized, "must above all work with the following basic premise : that representatives are not afraid to show his contradictions, his weaknesses and his 'ideal' . Change of opinion, debate and share show their insecurities and political vulnerability and having to argue their positions no longer be synonymous with what had been considered a 'bad' politics.
demand that exists for the citizen to 'see' in a transparent way what is happening and what our members do not imply a 'threat' to democracy, or the model of representation, both in but equally applicable renewal.
'humanize' the communication goes to speak with such sincerity, it passes through dismantling the myth of political power as something 'apart', controlling and dominating . Communication based on the principle of protecting an alleged character 'special' of politics today is inevitably doomed to failure. The policy which connect emotionally (based on institutional transparency, intellectual and ideological) will likely be that we set a path.
Whither look into the case of the EU institutions?

Leaking (filtrando) II
Hello!
I know that we are speaking of Europe, but some things are left in writing. written 1 Thing, written 2 Thing, Thing written 3 . In a European perspective
not miss the nice 'strip' invented twitter summarizing the negotiations on the EU budget and the current state of impasse. " Read it at the fantastic blog 'L'expérience européenne' .
also because I have a few days following the theme of 'European Defence', I advise you to you read the latest , especially paper that Germany and Sweden have taken to 'offset' tactics 'individualistic' Great Britain and France on the subject ...
We've said that one of the possible consequences of Anglo-French bilateral agreement would be the mobilization of other Member States. Except that some do it through diplomatic channels and state, others by way 'community'.
Finally two articles in the eurosfera offering a positive vision and a more critical about the historic filtration made by Wikileaks (Article 'critical' in the blog 'A bit more Complicated', where an interesting reflection on privacy as a value to protect and context, and the article in Europa451 in defense of international transparency and consistency between a public position and covert diplomatic strategies.) Personally I still think that the politics of today and the 'democratization' of our societies is to leave to make distinctions between 'off' and 'on'. One I can use a different tone and adapted to each situation, but in the digital age and in an open, transparent and mature, the liar and manipulator and has nowhere to hide (and more if they come to abuse of power, cover-up or judicial pressure-elements that may pose legal evidence of criminal conduct-). In that sense I still think that the leaks have rendered meaningless by reflect the content (and not so much for his character 'secret' or vocabulary irresponsible sometimes show as being in part a conversation 'private', but by the truths that shine and are inconsistent with the versions that are used to 'legitimate' certain political decisions). (On this I wrote a post a few days ago, and I advise the same line position 'middle' blog ' l'Européen Fabien').
The truth is that there is such a wealth of information, and almost all relevant times from what little I've read, I do not know which way to go: Special El PaÃs, Le Monde Special , The Guardian Special , New York Times Special . We are in a dream situation for analysts and historians, and sociological and political implications more deeply that we think a priori. Under these conditions perhaps see an end of 'diplomacy' ... I am also sure that more than one will think twice before 'play' the empires and to suggest-even in private, any strategy for handling the principles of legality and international legitimacy.

amount bike siren chants?
leave here the link to a video of campaign Ciutadans:
And another of a TV3 entevista Albert Rivera, which unfortunately does not mean he does not know Catalan, but it's worth despite leading questions from the interviewer:
Interview with Albert
do not know if with age I have become gullible, if I lost my usual scientific skepticism toward the art of politics, in the I've never believed that I have always despised, but the truth is I've been following and listening to speeches lately Albert Rivera, Ciutadans party candidate / Citizens changing with astonishing ease to English Catalan language, sometimes without you yourself even taste it, showing the existing bilingualism in the street and putting it against the attitudes, often closed and intolerant, the Catalan parliament. And in so doing, to hear what Albert Rivera has to say, I do not know if I'm, like Ulysses, bringing my ship to the disaster, disappointment has always been around the gift I made the policy, so just in case remain tied to the mast, listening to that voice and those siren voices calling me with a phrase that has always been on my own: "The rights are not the territories, but of citizens."
Another thing could be that this expression of humanist, I've always worn proudly on the chest (see previous post "Then and Now, my idea of \u200b\u200bnationalism"), does not mean the same to me that Mr. Rivera, reason, and considering a hypothetical encounter impossible to chat and drink coffee, "I continue listening and attending to his campaign, his interviews and speeches.
So far there are many points on which I agree, even personally, with this candidate. I also, for example, have discussed with many friends and family to defend Catalonia bigoted and stubborn attitudes, and since I came to live in Catalonia, Three years ago, I felt-as he himself said in an interview yesterday in The Journal - "like a fireman putting out fires caused by hard-liners here and there." Of course there are other things not agree with Ciutadans, for example that makes exaggerated defense of the English constitution as if it were immutable and not really improved, but again I think, as Albert Rivera, that the occupation of politicians should be to manage and tax equity of citizens, to guarantee their freedoms, not to create other nations within nations, and is much more logical and positive convergence states into a globalized world of free citizens (Spain to Europe and Europe to the world, preserving every people their historical and cultural identity, of course) that this trend of nationalist politicians to talk about historic rights and territorial boundaries to create and there are no differences between citizens and neighbors who listen to his speeches after separatists are mixed seamlessly into the melting pot of languages \u200b\u200band cultures that is our planet today.
Catalonia differences can have on the rest of Spain or the planet Earth are laudable and worthy of conservation, but also pale in comparison to fundamental human rights and individual liberty. So I am in favor of positive discrimination of Catalan to help you stay alive against the might of Castilian in the world and in Catalonia in particular, but never to the point of having to prohibit, limit or restrict the use of Castilian because, again, the languages \u200b\u200bhave no rights, it is citizens who have them-and that is what a politician or ruler, anywhere, has to guarantee. It rules over territories, there is no other way, but is run for citizens who come from here or there, that move looking for work, a couple or their own happiness and who want to do it all free, with or without flag with or without national pride.
live and work in Catalonia, and I do not believe for one moment, I want to stay and build my family here on the shores of the Mediterranean near Serrat blue sea, I want to immerse myself in every summer, but still keep the dust dry Castilian plateau and my name, and I hope my future children can grow up without idolizing another flag or any other color than the green of the pines and the yellow of the broom. Is it possible you have found a like-minded political, or does are just siren?.

French Words Of Encouragement
Then and now, my idea of \u200b\u200bnationalism
hope not to make the complacency but a few days ago while reading an old article I published in the journal faculty, back in 97 or 98, I have realize that, although my words on that were aimed at undermining the authority of the English state and the nation, the same words, without changing an inch, are equally valid and applicable to Catalan nationalism I see in this society where I live now. That is why the reissued almost fifteen years later, because when I hear of nationalism or national identity, and now, on the eve of elections, is continually "makes me want to ask my neighbors, regardless of the language they speak, think about if they are really flags, banners and local symbols which is located in the center of their lives, or if they believe that man with all his humanity, which knows no boundaries as evidenced by the literature, which must prevail . So here goes:
I do not want to do the military
| H |
and far always believed the day would leave for the military. Military service was for my dodge as easy as asking for a surplus school and request a further extension year after year, and perhaps because I have not ever given this issue the attention it deserved, sheltered and shielded in the distance I separated from government threaten I never knew at all if they comply. It's funny but I never ask the military to include me on your list objector, or as disobedient me directly cross it, and that hot day in late June I went to the station of Atocha to present my first extension I do not remember but a certain feeling of shame, while waiting with my papers in line, as if trying to evade a duty or obligation, avoiding fallacies and tricks what should have been an honor. It's funny, I say, because I look now, I compare with what was then, and I do not recognize.

henever I like reading but I always read the same things. At fifteen years, for example, I spent hours engrossed in the novels of Tom Clancy, author of works neat where ordinary men and industrious citizen, married, with children, sacrificed their lives for the cause of their country and died lacerated by bullets while grabbing hard on a flagpole. I read those stories and, as can be done only in adolescence, he lived: with warplanes decorated the walls of my room, I knew all the models, the full panoply of each army, wanted to be military pilot, flying under antiaircraft fire.
At about that time I told him my uncle, a summer night strolling the streets of Santander, the argument of one of those heroic novels that caused me so much joy and, to his visible lack of enthusiasm I asked how he would feel if a foreign country, France, for example, we invaded at dawn. He shrugged and argued: "Well, if the French govern us better. . .. " I still remember the huge disappointment that I felt, especially because it came from someone I revered so much.
Eventually I got tired of reading Tom Clancy, I still liked his stories but I had already begun writing and literary readings needed, better told. I left an entire course to the United States to study the COU, among other things I learned what a country full of himself, his little story and changing its recent flag. I loved that way of life, their wives, their countryside, but warned its citizens an almost inborn arrogance, based largely on ignorance of other cultures other than their own. When completed the COU, I went from there, two FBI agents visited the family that I had hosted that year because they did not understand that my name appeared among young people American graduates of the promotion of 93 but was not, however, the list of eligible persons to be called by the country in case of war. Told me then my American family, agents do not set up any shed, knocked down doors or not entered the race through a dense white smoke, hardly went beyond mere curiosity, the idleness of a dumb question: had not checked advance my foreign nationality, which of course I apologized to enlist in his army, nor hesitated to appear well-dressed in front of the door for a year was also my home, alerted to the possible existence of an American that was not a patriot.
On my return to Spain entered the Faculty of Physics and learned why the sky is blue by day, red at dawn and dark of night. United States, apart from endless notable experiences I had brought some books, including, interestingly, an English copy of Tom Clancy that still waits in the dusty shelf in my room to read it. And although I was not aware then, I brought an appreciation for American literature that I was slowly inoculated Mrs.Bennington, which had been my teacher of English literature. And over the years I read some American authors, Faulkner, Hemingway, Bradbury, Henry James and Nabokov. . . But also to European authors, world classics, Shakespeare, Goethe, Proust, and I realized that just giving the nationality or the color of their flag, all wrote about the same feelings, love, anger, revenge, melancholy. . . and only the setting or the time were different, under a constant simply human, not national, timeless. Later I learned that this, precisely, is called literature.
Today more than ever, I am a citizen of the world, human being, not just English. I feel linked to the customs of my people, to the distant reconquest of the peninsula, the heat of the plateau, the processions of Holy Week, but I also feel close and connected to expel Arabs and named most of the stars that gleam above us, the Nordic peoples and indomitable spirit or the Indians Americans who travel three days after guiding the European expeditions needed rest for another three, they said, their souls would reach behind and merge again with their bodies.

hour mandatory period is exhausted, the last of my extensions to go to military service and soon expires'll come to headquarters to ask what a few years ago, that summer night in Santander, I would not have happened: the objection, not academic or requested by reasons of personal interest, but the truly moral, the most consistent, conscientious objection.
In the eyes of distant relatives South calling at home for dinner I notice that they recognize in me what they think is fear or cowardice. Referring to military service, I speak with pride of long walks, blisters and nights in the open, and perhaps think they do not understand them because they were not there that morning in late June, just days after he requested one of my first extensions, when a few friends we met very early in front of the door of the faculty, we took some photos under the rusty iron letters nailed to the lintel stone and then loaded with our backpacks, we began to walk toward the north. We arrived in Segovia three days later. It was an adventure, it was rather an ordeal, a rite of passage as narrated by Faulkner and then I had not read. No sleeping in the open but under the stars, we walked for miles, but to earn the horizon, the distant mountains, and beyond. And I did in the company of friends who loved and respected, with those who walked three days in complete freedom by the simple desire to do so, to achieve that goal recommended by our youthful bravado. I will continue listening for a long time in the military is a man, but I know that the experience of military service, it certainly was big and exciting for the men of my family, that led to them to leave their villages or hometowns and let them know people who did not have the same accent, I will have little to me that I spoke to my young children a language so different from mine and lived in lands as far away as men to this side of the ocean took thousands of years to discover.
My uncle was right. The life of a Frenchman is to me as valuable as a English and neither is it much like my sister or my best friend. I am the son of the world rather than the son of Spain, I am a foundling of any nation and I hate them all for the same reason that I admire the hundred years of solitude by Garcia Marquez, I shudder with Bradbury Chronicles, or suffer with childish wickedness Lolita.
No, of course not, I do not want to do the military, have long since stopped believing in the nation to believe only in men.
