Solar Flares And Cyclones

erschdamaol.

So, my dears.
First Feliz año nuevo a time to you all.
lasts though still n little while, until the sky exploded but I wish you all happy now views nen.
I know you all happy holidays and have free, so even first: You damned pig. (Sorry, Mom. I know scatology.)
I have to work again in two hours, up to 11!
And then will I make new year finished in an hour ago? The spin, the English.
go Well, it must.

Oh man, I'm really much to tell simply do not even know where to start.
I do it now simply by themselves tell what chronologically was never my strong point anyway.
I ask humbly for forgiveness.

So. I was home over Christmas. Home. In Deuuutschelande.
I had already planned for ages, actually since the end of November.
Because yes I will see do not even want me to break a 19-year-old custom, just because I'm 14,000 km away. Neineinei.
And the funny and the same tragicomic was that everything was supposed to be a surprise. I've hardly told anyone what it except Malta, which then represented my contact at home & a few of my friends, with whom I much to my big mouth sometimes could not hold back.
So booked a return flight, seen that I, 23 - 28 Free war and is hardly gets me with anticipation.
And then he was finally here: The 23
On 22 nachm packed evening work & then a round trillion with Messi and Joaquin.
War again at 3:30 back. stood
At 8 again, just completely exhausted, but still, of course, full of energy and abdominal tingling.
All ready made Isa and all the other bye to say it & from the airport.

where of course the first thing I see: Flight to Lanzarote Frankfurt Hahn-Delay.

Jippiijeh.
All other flights have had before all as an hour late, because I simply assumed that the cold I then also added.
a fatal miscalculation.

on bag as I was and the three hours I had time, led me to me at any gate length down and still alittle bit of kip.
fatal mistake No.2.

I had my cell phone alarm set to 11.20, ie the time at which should normally be off.
wax so on, go to the bathroom, come back, look on ne scoreboard.
" Frankfurt Hahn -. Gate closed, boarding completed"

I thought. I see. Not. Law.
First 10 seconds of shock, then I start running through the whole shit Airport and examined the gate.
Find it and tada, is the plane actually still there, docked and everything.

But no pork, could let in me.
long First 10 minutes someone looking for that would have even begin to feel responsible for Ryanair and the stupid cow then can only say. "Oh I'm sorry, out of there, you must completely and rebook"

And yes, I admit, I cried like a lock dog.
all my plans, my whole secretive, all-powerful break because of my own stupidity.
I was so angry, so angry miserably. To myself
I Had's able to, I would have shot me.
Okay, maybe not. But I was even beaten up violently.

Bin then get out, switch to Ryanair. Do me first, of course, can wait 10 minutes & then again I only said that I would have to pay 100 € for Reposting (SO MUCH HAS THE NON FLIGHT TIME scam cost!) And, oh yeah, she looks straight, Ryanair does not fly over Christmas, That would go only on Sunday. On 26
I'd prefer all of my abusive language used, but then I would rather completely desperate mom called and confessed everything.
has, of course, the first did not understand a word because I'm just so rough geflennt.
But then they said, should I still look for flights to and logs on again.
Then I first sent a text message to all concerned.
me that as Alex does not need to pick up from London.
Or Dana, that her best friend is a bloody stupid piece of dog shit.

belongings then asked two other switches, if they still have flights to Alemania.
they had not.
Only on the last switch I was lucky.
flight from Lanzarote to Frankfurt Internat. In three hours.
Cost: 2000 Eur ... hahahaha next.

NEN But they have yet another.
The'd go in 4 hours, to Dusseldorf, 145 Euronen .... And oh yeah, going from Fuerteventura.
short consultation with Mom, oke, the receiving chamber.

Booked, paid ran out, people first ne giant snake of the n taxi need.
But what's the blond and in tears?
I was an extra called. :) Hihi.

half hour drive, 45 €, on ferry from Lanzarote.
20 € ferry, 20 minute crossing.
45 €, 30 minute taxi ride from the airport of Fuerteventura.

I was there. Time and again had forever. Tired as I was in, I then first again HINGEL-... you're nuts, but I'd be still asleep.
God ey.

No, I'm perched on such drug before the scoreboard and the letters have not a moment lost sight of.
Then, with 1 hour delay, I was on the plane.
later 4 hours in Dusseldorf, where I picked up my parents then have.

home at 5 clock in the morning.
And then I had five days full of family, friends and pleeenty of love: D
It was sooo great to be home.
Soo great.

the rest now in a nutshell. The most important airport people I've seen, but not all of them.
I was boarding, I was with Alex, I had the most wonderful Christmas with family in the world.
On 28 unfortunately again back.

Munich Ireland
Ireland Lanzarote.
TO DO little more complicated.
Well.
Come the evening with 3 Stunkel delay, and the first thing I learn: Oh, I would obviously 28 have to work.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS.
Can not be.
belongings but then somehow got no anger, no idea what was going on.

And now I'm back here.

Why No More High School Showers

The American Crisis: How the U.S. economy can be saved - the error by Robert Reich


Robert Reich, former U.S. labor minister under Bill Clinton and currently include Professor at the University of California has, in his new book, "aftershocks. America at a turning point," the crisis of the U.S. economy are analyzed and solutions presented.

Persistently high unemployment and bobbing in front of him to make economic growth of the democratic U.S. government of Barack Obama to create hard and have provided during the recent congressional elections to significant losses for the Democrats. For months the U.S. rages a violent dispute about what the appropriate action to cause the U.S. economy from the crisis. Not only between the parties crashing together the different views, but also within them, which paralyzes the policy after the new majorities in Congress. Even within the Fed of dissent is large, which is increasingly perceived as a Council-and orientation-lessness. Because of the failure of all measures taken so far against the high unemployment and weak growth, and by disagreement over the einzuschla-tion rate, have the same number as high economic adviser to Barack Obama left the service - including Christina Romer and Larry Summers. (1)

No wonder that the book by Robert Reich provides a lot of excitement and commercial paper in the book review almost euphoric headline "How the U.S. economy can be saved." (2)

Reich's thesis that the U.S. not because of the financial crisis so bad, but given the enormous differences in income. The super rich share an increasing portion of the assets among themselves. All that you desire, while only A limited amount is available, has become unaffordable for the majority of American citizens, as the purchasing power concentrated at the top of the income scale.

This is a problem that is true. Arloc Sherman and Chad Stone have shown in an analysis of data that the income differentials between the one percent of the richest Americans and the middle and poorest fifth of the population in the last three decades more than tripled. (3) The concentration of income at the top of the income scale according to their analysis since 1928 have never been higher than today (as of 2007).

Specifically, results after the analysis of Sherman and Stone, following the U.S. image: (4)
  • reached the period from 1979 to 2007, the share of the top 1 percent of U.S. income after tax at 17.1 percent in 2007 to the highest value, while the share of the middle-income quintile during the same period of 2007 dropped to its lowest value (14.3 percent).
  • rose between 1979 and 2007 the average income of the top 1 percent adjusted for inflation by 281 percent, representing an increase of 971 300 U.S. dollars per household. The top fifth of income realized an income increase by 95 percent. Other hand, posted only a fifth of the average income increase of 25 percent (11,200 US-Dollar/Haushalt) the bottom fifth of income even only an increase of 16 percent (2,400 US-Dollar/Haushalt).
  • would have increased the income (after taxes) 1979-2007 in the three groups (top 1 percent, middle and lower fifth) with the same percentage rate, it would have the middle-class households from 2007 13 042 U.S. dollars higher located and that of the poorest families by 6010 U.S. dollars.
  • Income (after taxes) for the top 1 percent of the income pyramid nearly quadrupled 1979-2007, it rose from 347 000 to U.S. $ 1.3 million U.S. dollars (plus 281 percent). In contrast, increased the income of middle class only 44 100 55 300 in U.S. dollars (plus 25 percent) and only the poorest households from 15,300 to 17,700 U.S. dollars (up 16 percent).
  • The top 1 percent of budget in 2007 had on average an income of 1.3 million U.S. dollars - $ 88,800 more than the year before. But the wage increase is well above the average income of middle-class households (55.3 thousand U.S. dollars).
  • The share of the top 1 percent of total U.S. income (after taxes) increased from 1979 to 2007 from 7.5 percent to 17.1 percent. The proportion of the three middle-fifth - 60 percent of income recipients so - however, decreased from 51.1 to 43.5 percent. The share of the poorest Fifth was at the bottom of the pyramid in the same period from 6.8 to 4.9 percent.
  • The proportion of the bottom four-fifths of the income distribution in the U.S. total income (after taxes) fell from 1979 and 2007 from 58 to 48 percent.
The data speak for themselves, it is evident how much the income (and assets) shear in the United States and gapes open as fast as they continued to open.

For Robert Reich is the cause of this social gradient for the crisis in the U.S.. There must be stated in its opinion.

Reich wrong. He confused cause and effect.

The distribution of income and wealth is at its core always the result of market processes and not the cause of the crisis.

markets and economies develop. They mature. And signs of aging is that there is a continuous concentration trationsprozess there. The best you can see the concentration in the company. Many markets are now dominated only by a few large corporations. It is quite clear that in mature markets and mature economies Competitive processes are different and produce according to income and assets other than in emerging markets and in young economies. The problem with this is that the group is the winner of competition processes in the development of markets and economies and the continuing focus on markets typically smaller and smaller. Most recently, the ratios tend to solidify and are then often in competition processes not changed significantly - one winner, always a winner. So there are cumulative effects.

Consider, for example, at the time of Ludwig Erhard in postwar Germany. During this time the markets were in their infancy, there was a lack of everything, and demand was high all over. There were shows excellent conditions for entrepreneurship and the motto "Prosperity for all", as this situation with regard to the impact of income and wealth distribution.

Today we have many mature markets, with high business concentration, excess capacity, enormous pressure on costs and intense price competition. Many markets are dominated by a few very large corporations. This is a completely different situation than in the 50s and is the result of development, and the competition itself has changed. (5) All this is reflected today in the same income and wealth distribution - and this also applies to the United States.

Such development processes are not considered by mainstream economists as well as Keynesians. The give their theories is not applicable. And yet these relations are not perceived - even by not Robert Reich.

And just for completeness: In the U.S. there were up to the crash of 1907, a sharp business concentration process with strong monopoly tendencies (Keywords: Standard Oil - the society was broken up because of this); Unternehmenskon same high concentration there was also before the Crash of 1929 - even after concerns were smashed in the U.S.. And everyone knows that we are once again in recent years, a deterioration of corporate concentration in many markets, pushed again by the crisis, with sierungstendenzen Monopoli (such as Intel, Microsoft, Google, BHP Billiton, etc.). The really big crash is probably yet to come.

The cause of the U.S. crisis and the extremely unequal income and wealth distribution are therefore the national economy in the Width changes, mature market structures and as a result of this change now dominant form of competition, (6) is also undermined in many cases by the great influence of lobbyists. (7)

The low purchasing power of most of the Americans is also a result of the described development process. It is trivial to identify the low purchasing power as a problem. But Reich's solution proposals that rely primarily on redistribution, show that he has not understood the underlying problem.

If the identified problems - wants to remedy that must ensure that in the U.S. on all markets again a dynamic and innovative form of competition is possible - extremely unequal income and wealth distribution, and low purchasing power. As far as I can see it, they will, given the advanced stage in some markets no longer alternative but to dismantle groups.

that an empire and his proposals received so much attention, shows that the U.S. is in crisis management is still missing the orientation. The Americans do not see what is the cause of their problems and why they find a suitable solution. The economy languishes in front of him, and unemployment remains high and for more than 40 million Americans whose survival depends on food stamps, the outlook remains bleak. It is abshebar that will exacerbate the problems in the face of so much economic and political helplessness of the guild. Empire proposals are not a bright spot.

The Heads of State and Government of the European Union in turn have not understood that all developed countries have the same core problem as the United States - even though they are sometimes at other points of development. For all developed countries are highly dependent on the major global Players dependent.

However, the problem for the EU is different than the U.S.: The strength of big business column in the major industrial countries (the so-called National Champions), which over the last four decades to the current crisis reliably generated growth, was in the European Union also the guarantee for the growth of the smaller EU states. The economy of countries like Greece, Hungary, Ireland and Portugal went, supported by massive financial support from the EU, in the wake of heavy industrial sites in the EU. This - in simplified form - European Growth Model has collapsed with the crisis and is currently the biggest problem of the so-called debts States: they have no viable growth concept more. Austerity is not a growth concept. The Germans have known for Heinrich Brüning. Without growth, the approach they will not be able to free them from their debts. (8) to find This is not the sole responsibility of those countries. On the contrary, the EU as a whole must find a new growth model when they want to survive in its current form.

also for Europe, the solution can only lie in a concept that dynamic and innovative competition possible and therefore the dependencies-from large corporate segment again significantly reduced. On either side of the Atlantic, the central part of the problem is the same: The increasing weakness of demand (9) , the systematic deprivation of the segment of small and medium-sized companies and banks (10) by the given conditions as well as by the one-sided take on the big and efficiency-focused economic policy, excessive influence of lobbyists (11) .

The current crisis is different from earlier and they can is therefore not used to be successful concepts such as the Keynesian (in the 1st Great Depression and in Germany in the late 60's), or liberalism (such as in post-war Germany) overcome. (12)

Color Tvs Prices In Hyderabad Poratbale

Wolfgang Kubicki 'criticism of the FDP Course: Keyword "disintegration"


Mr Kubicki,


I think you have quite right with your warning and then a loss of identity, self-dissolution of the FDP. I have a few weeks ago in an essay also tries to draw attention to the problem (see http://stefanleichnersblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/mehr-freiheit-wagen-anspruch-realitaet.html , supplemented http://stefanleichnersblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/finanzmarktkrise-und-wirtschaftssystem.html ).

I say this but not from a partisan perspective. For I am not politically active and I have no party-political preferences. I say this as an economist who is familiar with competi-tion and market economic theories and the resulting economic role models very carefully. My goal is a prosperous economy.

As an economist, you know, of course, saying that our political landscape is seen as influenced by market advocates and "non-interventions nest" and Keynesians and "interventionists" - in the broadest sense, including industrial policy. Both the FDP and the Union are market proponents, and as such fundamentally liberal in the economic Theory anchored.

I see in this context, three problems that will lead both the FDP and the Union to a progressive loss of identity

First has over the years an increasing detachment from the identity-giving mission statement liberal theory ("free competition" or "liberty concept") and an increasing orientation of the practical politics of interests took place, which is accepted by the public less and less, because while the common good of the policy has been lost. Understood in this way economic policy is no "total" economic policy and has to be more appropriate macroeconomic distortions lead. From a citizen perspective, it will therefore only be understood as a label when politicians talk of the social market economy and the concept of freedom. Speech and action are in a very perceptible contradiction.

Second is - especially because of it - with the FDP and the Union has no economic policy overall design more visible and so is the economic vision or, if you will, orientation, thus lead where government action should have been lost. It is not enough to say that they wanted such as growth and employment, if citizens do not realize at the same time can ensure that the actions in this Direction acts. Citizens missing m. E. credible, orientation imaging power of an economic policy concept.

Third have forgotten both the FDP and the Union of distinguishing between the "free goal" and economic "freedom of design" (as a way to this target). Therefore, both parties did not become aware that the outbreak of the financial crisis with the failure of "freedom approach" taken in context, but that did not that they represent "freedom goal" discredited. It is all the more fatal, that see both parties' conception of freedom "and" free goal "as a thing, because it is so - No need - at the mercy of the liberal economic theory, or have a specific plan to achieve the "freedom Objective bound. The liberal economic theory, respectively, the economic mainstream (neoclassical), however, with the financial market crisis itself plunged into a deep crisis because he foresaw the crisis neither could explain it and give the policy, no focus, could they overcome the crisis well . This applies to the present, by the way also for Keynesian economics. The crisis can erupt at any time, because the fundamental problems have not really understood yet solved. Governments have bought for much money, only time but it does not make sense used and they have been involved at the same time new problems.

the articles in SPIEGEL ONLINE, I understand that your party colleague Frank Schäffler the FDP as you see in a deep crisis, which he believes could be overcome by a return to the liberal doctrine in other words, the "freedom" concept.

The one right answer to this is to me in point 1 above problem and it may be in response to the problem mentioned in point 2, but only if a sufficiently high level of certainty that such a move yielding visible results.

I think, however, are not likely, and would justify this here only briefly with a reference to a comparison of the postwar situation in Germany, the liberal policy Erhard was very successful, with the current situation. In the postwar period, all markets were in their infancy, there was a high demand for everything. Today we have mostly saturated, dominated by a few large corporations with significant market growth and employment problems. Against this background, it is evident in my view, that a liberal policy, unlike the war is not the right medicine.

Schäffler proposed solution is, if I understood him correctly, at the point of me 3 above problem is not just and it is so m. E. The FDP can not out of crisis. More than that, I think it probably little that any party - that includes the Greens - to building its voters, unless they have no one of interest independent and can offer a choice of economic or market theory base standing economic policy design, the other side of liberal / neo-classical and Keynesian-cal teaching is. Because due to the financial market and economic crisis, both parties have lost in the same way much of its explanatory power and guidance.

It can not, therefore, in the crisis-ridden parties to different measures or policy blocks to go and not simply to return to a no longer fully viable economic theoretical foundation. It is m. E. a conceptual-functional realignment.

It was my wish to draw your attention to this dimension of the problem.

Are Yours

apology.

first apology, because as long as I can hear nothing from me.

policy crisis: arbitration proposal to "Stuttgart 21" lags well behind the conciliation talks


the protests against "Stuttgart 21" symbol of all that is wrong in politics in Germany?
Arbitrator Heiner Geissler (CDU) has no doubt it left it in his eyes not only to the proposed underground station, but about the loss of confidence of the general policy of the citizens. In this sense, he has conducted the debates in the settlement talks for weeks to do something about it. The mediation talks were a great success.


Yesterday, in the late afternoon, Heiner Geissler has proclaimed precisely because its highly anticipated arbitration proposal. It supported the continuation of work on the underground station "Stuttgart 21", but suggested a number of adjustments to the concept that in order to "Stuttgart 21 plus" is to be upgraded. In addition, the railway was obliged to perform a stress test for the transport hub of Stuttgart, which is by computer simulation, the performance of the approach tested under the current plans. For in the settlement talks could be substantial doubt about the performance capability objectively justified. The target is to reach a higher capacity by 30 percent for rail transport compared to the present terminus. That was the time the value of the parliamentarians had been promised in advance of the decision, "Stuttgart 21". This performance increase was mainly that left supporters speak of a future concept.

What the implementation to improve the performance of Geissler recommended action depends on the outcome of stress tests. This leaves in limbo as to whether the concept of "Stuttgart 21" actually has considerable weaknesses. The stress test is to bring clarity.

Today, on day one after the arbitration, Baden-Württemberg's Minister of Transport Tanja patrons (CDU) expressed that due to the stress test not serious and expensive subsequent improve-ments in terms of meeting the targets for the performance the concept of "Stuttgart 21" rate. (1) Also today, Railway Board said Volker Kefer, with the result of the stress test was to be expected until mid-2011. (2) The least likely to have expected yesterday that the test would take such a long time.

Both are likely among many citizens who expect to finally be taken seriously and hoped to have reached with the mediation talks on this point somewhat, again ensure discontent: The state government takes the stress test seems easy to shoulder, the car pushes him on the back burner. So fast you can lose hard-earned trust.

This shows but at the same time blurring the arbitrator award. Can not satisfy, if you pass the mediation talks can mentally review and considers that it has gone not only to approach the station, but especially to the zerüttete relationship between citizens and politics.

In view of the mediation talks identified, potentially significant improvement needs to show "Stuttgart 21" with the arbitration proposal is not only the efficiency of the concept, but also the efficiency question in the balance. For even the mediation talks have shown, "Stuttgart 21", as the economic review put it, "optimistic" calculated. The Project could therefore break the sound bar quickly, should the stress test indicate a need for improvement. Were it not so, then women's patrons would have today had no reason to downplay the importance of stress testing. Patron to estimate fits well apart from not at all that the railway board Kefer made today from the stress test is a big deal, which is obviously complicated and zeitauwendig - what will he think, however, not everybody.

Against this background, it not surprising, but very unsatisfactory that Heiner Geissler its support mainly legally justified: for "Stuttgart 21" is a surface right for the opponents presented an alternative concept of "terminal station 21" is not. That - at least in the settlement talks - the alternative concept other than "Stuttgart 21" no significant weaknesses disclosed and was regarded as technically feasible, but above all that it seems even more powerful and considerably less expensive than "Stuttgart 21" should be played at the conciliator vote not matter. In contrast, the arbitrator took into account on the other hand the - not in height uncontroversial - costs of phasing out "Stuttgart 21" on the ground, you get the money for nothing, it was therefore lost money.

Anyone following the mediation talks, however, knows that Heiner Geissler, the proponents of "Stuttgart 21" rüffelte harshly than they are in the debate on court decisions and retreated to the legal position. He based his complaint so that it is exactly what the citizens would no longer willing to accept and ruled that they were right. The citizens wanted explanations.

The high ratings - Geissler spoke yesterday of more than a million viewers in the TV and the internet transferred conciliation talks - confirm his view. All the more must it be surprising that he conciliator in his vote, despite actually very productive settlement talks recently also just retired again to the legal position.

It seems so predictable that many people in a few days when the arbitration proposal is set to determine in their minds, how is little justification for Geissler his vote in the mediation talks had fulfilled what has been achieved. The vote ultimately undermined the goal of restoring the settlement discussions, trust in politics because it has not been used consistently, which has been worked out in the talks. It is right in spite of seemingly hard "constraints" soft and gently, especially in politics. The balance in the relationship between citizens and politicians was not restored in the vote. Exactly what would have been important.

To overcome the political crisis mediation talks are the way forward. This requires the policy to thank Heiner Geissler. The vote is not.

What Paint To Use Inside A Microwave

WikiLeaks: The image of our politicians and the weaknesses of the policy


WikiLeaks The recent release of secret dispatches American diplomats-cal, showing, above all, their evaluation of leaders of other countries, the USA more than just embarrassing. (1) this is true also for politicians around the world whose public reputation has been severely shaken. The dispatches can be carefully maintained facades crumble, indicate weaknesses and skill gaps.

course this is only the view of U.S. diplomats.

Many citizens are their estimates surprise of politicians, however, not really. You will see in their own assessments all too often confirmed, even though likely to be only superficially in the rule. You will be pleased to know that politicians such evaluations now even have to take note. How citizens think about their politicians and how they judge their skills are no secret and it is against the background of published U.S. dispatches quite interesting and recommended for politicians, here and not only in WikiLeaks read, as is judged. (2)

The WikiLeaks revelations help to increase the pressure on top politicians. In any case, are in many states because of their policy under massive attack. The numerous protests, whether in
Ireland, Greece, Portugal, France, Great Britain or elsewhere to show, as well as opinion polls the vast, furious dissatisfaction of citizens with the services of their government leaders. More and more often, they come together and to initiatives to the somewhat counter-enforce. They do it because they feel abandoned and betrayed. They do it because in their eyes in the political landscape is hardly someone who does not make you suspicious of political patronage, but galubwürdig and unreservedly advocating the common good and proper, rational to be a politician willing and able.

The mediation talks on the dispute over the Stuttgart railway station project "Stuttgart 21", which broadcast on TV and the Internet and from a surprising number of people were persecuted, shows in stark contrast to the now published by WikiLeaks reviews of our leaders that at the regional and local politicians are quite who want and can afford it. Such objectively and competently led, hard debate, as they were seen in the Stuttgart-based mediation talks, there is not in the Bundestag. Bundestag is, so it appears in the direct comparison, "Showtime" - more self-portrayal in the media, more glossy advertising the parties and politicians than anything else. But the fact of how empty the seats are there in the rule, shows that there is not going to debate, but only the position at the lectern is interesting because on the television cameras are directed. Precisely for this reason, the Stuttgart conciliation talks were followed by so many citizens attention. There has delivered what they want. You just do not themselves be staging politician, dodging the question and debate any hard and after her appearance before the cameras at once eyed curious to see how this has affected their approval ratings. They want to know what they really are with their respective leaders.

It is the new release WikiLeaks due to this contrast has been called visible and the problem back into the public consciousness. It is obvious that top political positions all too often just not really appropriate and also enabled politicians to be filled. Without TV cameras they would be worse off.

What Does It Mean To Have A Low H&h

I eat right now ne orange.

Now I have but nothing long heard from me.
There is plenty to tell, my friends.
So, where do I start.

last Tuesday were we play pool at night, Vladi, Isa, and I n guy named Joaquin, who creates appeared here in the hotel as an animator, but grade 4 weeks off has or something. No idea.
In any case, we played billiards, the first time in ages for me.
This has always reminded me then the time-Oops, that was great:)
I was then full of well-fei, I was surprised.
War n good and funny evening.

The next evening I went nachm work then jogging.
jogging! I! Move! Sport! Voluntary.
I will present to hear quite a lot, aaah 'and' ooohs' of admiration.
I then of course the next day promptly had übertriiiiebenen muscles grow, stairs and go into the knee were virtually impossible.
Pretty shitty if you work there must ^ ^.

so it went completely then the rest of the week, many films with salted popcorn with Isa. (. Yes, I know, terrible)
Saturday was so outstanding, namely:
Benito, one of the higher staff ausm Restaurant, whose contract has expired.
You know, the whole English employees get only 1-year contracts and then to four months on forced leave, English just because of the lousy economic situation.
And that was just his farewell party. We were first invited to dinner, I swear, 5 speed.
Only the hottest bread in the world, then twice what I completely unknown (which I have but eaten anyway, Mom, you're reading this), then the main course GIANTS BATZ meat, just meat, but it is also a great and then just have dessert.

I was full to the top out, I'd almost be able to roll out.
Next they were off.
Isa, Francisco, I'm a guy whose name I've forgotten, gone Messi and Benito and I still are.
good, Benito's just about 50 or so and has suited up totally.
Chucks, jeans, leather jacket.
And as the departed, fuck yeah.
I would have been someone who knows Benito and not seen her so rumspacken at the disco did, I'd only just laughed.
But it was so funny.
How good was it.
was then really casual, the evening. Was at 5:30 at home, almost dead
all were full except me. But we already know: D

Then I worked through 7 days.
When I looked this Thursday afternoon, the shoes have kicked off my feet, that was the best feeling in the world.
liberating Sun : D
Thursday evening we were back playing pool, again Vladi, Isa, Joaquin and Messel was this time too.
was again really funny, Vladi was so very full.
Witzig wars also because Isa had to work Friday morning at 8: D
and we keep at home at half past 5 were.
finally I could laugh at her, because I could not lie.

slept until around 1:00, got up, and gemittaggegesst gestrackt on the beach.
But only up to 5 or so, because by 6 Joaquin has picked me up and we are buying what, and then for two billiards.
real n Cute, I must say.

was then back home relatively early, so by 9
Did my pasta at an Italian restaurant fetched and I-Despicable 'looked at.
alone.
Because Isas friend NEN spontaneous visit over the weekend, and I probably will not get to Sunday evening to face: D

Tjaaa, and really, actually wanted Messi and today I go diving together.
We have here in the hotel ne diving school which is run by two Germans, totally cool people.

since coming back so promptly and we are told, "Yes, no, it works today unfortunately. Too much wind, too many waves, it's too dangerous. The red flag is out there already "

. (:. (I am so looking hat on it, all that crap
And it definitely takes ages until I have time together and Messi free again.

If instead, then bit hung with Joaquin, he has in his Fred Costume help (-> Gallery).
Thereafter, Messi and I mitm bike to Puerto del Carmen in, the Shopping Mall Biosfera and there were n little while
I have sore muscles tomorrow determined but has mad-fun:..)
A great day anyway.
And tomorrow operate noaaaaaain.



What I do not have to say as a general conclusion:
I must speak more English.
I think my English in Salamanca was much better than here.
Because everyone is talking to me in English, although I will say that I see that she do in English.
Also yesterday, with Joaquin, I've entertained me in English only.
Doof.
while already.

My Baby Is Choking On Mucus

Ireland crisis: Stay governments hostage to the financial markets


bank bailout follows financial crisis, following rigor, followed by state rescue, follows ... - In the case of Ireland crisis is repeated, starting from the financial crisis, the process that we know of the Greek crisis her already. It takes one language, as of course the pressure of the financial markets is acceptable. Because the financial markets Ireland have in the truest sense of the word forced into this predicament - and other EU states in the vicinity of an emergency. Ireland is just another case. It can be almost certain probability that it was not the last and this is due to this very ease with which the pressure of financial markets is accepted.


What happens for this reason since the beginning of the financial markets, is a perversion of the term for market-based economic systems known basic relationship between market participants and state and it is quite deliberate. Reminder: The concern about the stability of financial markets forced Ireland and all other states to rescue of gamblers large banks. The small and medium-sized banks, which had largely to do with the casino did nothing, but now suffer under the consequences, should also be remembered, were largely left to themselves, partly charged additionally. In the United States that is the case. There, the regional banks die before him - what the government cares little obvious, and Wall Street certainly not. The worst effects of the massive damage that zockende large banks have left in all the world and its whole extent is still not trans-made transparent - one more point, reminiscent of the be - were not from the States to intercept without a massive public debt. It was there clear from the outset that would hang high public debt as a sword of Damocles over the respective States. Now that the financial markets, governments have made to rescue the great players of the casino and the governments have failed, the casino company to effectively prevent under-they are now that they have come to the brink of national bankruptcy, even for Property of the casino. What it cares "financial markets" that they are the reason for the debt? Again: this is not purely market-based and what is suggested to always be happy, laws following processes, but the fact that the tail wags the dog. Finally, the state is the top Control and regulatory authority of the markets and he perform his task so that they work.

No one can say it would have been impossible to foresee where it would cause if it would succeed in the political decision makers and the Score banks not to emancipate themselves from the financial markets - because that's the point. Until today, instead, in effect, done everything required, "the financial markets." Now the financial market have therefore achieved the costly rescue of States that would not have been necessary if the financial market players have not even driven the cost of refinancing unaffordable heights. In this sense, "the financial markets" even doubly responsible for the Ireland-disaster. The financial markets have achieved everything: they were rescued, they were allowed to continue casino operations, which have states such as Ireland and Others feel that are saved now as desired one by one, because otherwise it would be the gambling in the bond market does not even come up.

But this game is from the perspective of financial markets is far from played out and in order to dispel any misunderstanding: the financial-market participants do not stop it even before it escalates. We know that. The crash of the real estate market is the evidence, the successful insistence on the industry, substantially so to be allowed as before, too. How many documents are needed, so that at last perceived, is that the financial markets an "emergency stop" switch have not yet willing to accept him? is

The next stage of the game: "The financial markets" by the indebted countries calling for strict austerity policy, or rather the EU, the ECB and the IMF do to calm the financial markets - which amounts to the same.

It is important at this point to be exact: "The financial markets" do not mean that the austerity measures impedes their own activities, or even limited. This is then also clear in whose loads is to be saved: At the cost of the general public, that is, the citizen and to the detriment of small and medium-sized companies that are not obviously meant when talking about politicians of what they do for "the economy". "The economy", the big companies and big banks are just the global players. What is astonishing licherweise never discussed - For four decades they are under the heading "Improving international competitiveness," the focus of government policy in developed countries. It must be clearly seen, whereas this level in all developed countries one-sided support of large companies has led today: To a kind of "two-class society" in the economy and financial markets. We have today in developed countries in many industries a few large corporations, on the other hand, many are taking small and medium sized companies that operate either in large companies uninteresting niche or local markets, or that - very often - depending on take of large companies are (for as automotive suppliers).

As for the one-sided focus of policy on the large enterprise segment in the economy and financial markets over a period of four decades in the result means can be illustrated-lichen, if you look at the economies of developed countries presenting as a giant, the today on two different long and strong legs are. The long, strong leg is on the economies of the rest actually. It stands for the segment to take the large-sized and large banks. The shorter, emaciated leg stands for the segment of small and medium-sized companies and banks. With this picture in mind it is also understandable why the banks have never really care for the business with small and medium-sized companies.

Although this is a very poignant description, it can be so that the fundamental structural problem that as a result, all industrialized countries in a similar way to get to the point. This is due to the described Saving formula, states such as Greece and Ireland must now follow, to a very dangerous matters, because it hits the weak leg hard.

It is obvious that this works just like the previous one side also the preservation of the structures or to the stabilization of the strong leg forward Keynesian spending policies. On a sustainable growth path, the so understood and well-run "deficit spending" not being maintained. Draconian austerity at the expense of the public (demand) and the SME sector is, however, the already existing economic and structural, economic difficulties even greater. This is a Anti-growth tumskonzept.

appears in this context to assume a ludicrous, this form of dramatic savings could pave the way for Wrtschaftswachstum and recovery of state finances. Already, it has become clear: both in Greece and Ireland have tightened the austerity package, launched a few months already again. For the first cost-cutting measures ranging from no differently than planned, to achieve the objectives of fiscal consolidation - a result of the economic slowdown, which resulted in the saving measures as well.

How long it will take probably until the economic situation has deteriorated because so far that the Financial markets and the media, the danger of an impending depression strapped states and the feared consequences for the global economy is about? Because you have to see so that more and more states, as abgucken after the Lehman bankruptcy, simply with the neighbors and go to the same course, but thus something almost in equal-step stumble into the same difficulties.

What I want to express: Whether bank rescue, business or economy packages - all governments have done since the financial crisis served to stabilsieren to the strong leg of the ailing giant. It did so temporarily, but only at the price of a further weakening of the already neglected and greatly weakened second leg. The really hot iron, the economies to establish sound economic structure and so to set the stage for dynamic economic development, growth and employment, were not addressed.

"Too Big To Fail" will be therefore expected to back in vogue - in the banking sector and the real economy. Especially because the governments allow it in line with the above-described policy that, in the way of mergers and acquisitions occur continuously even larger corporations, rather than the dangerously high level of dependence of economies to reduce the industrial countries of large corporate segment. The governments thus depriving themselves - not least the pressure of the financial markets - the systematic ways to stabilize their economies by anything other than unconditional support of the large business segment. The fundamental instability of the system can not be resolved, that the state supports the Great and profits in an increasingly weaker demand from the segment of medium-sized businesses in the large companies to be diverted.

The case of Ireland as the reason that the policy is in a dead end. It's not just about escalating government debt. The continuously widening danger is that the large corporate segment one or the other economies of the developed States no longer carries the segment of small and medium-sized companies is too weak to compensate. A terrorist attack, a new stock market crash or some other dramatic event could be the trigger for it. The Lehman collapse has shown how vulnerable is the large company segment. prescribe

fact that the European community and the IMF, Greece and Ireland, a tightening of austerity, is a fresh bow to the financial markets. For the emancipation of the financial markets and a change of policy in the crisis have the courage and strength. This is precisely the reason why we First some concepts for the bailout and to stimulate the economy and now austerity packages of the type described are sold as alternative. This is not the case. Rather, it is facing the goal of stabilizing the economy, financial markets and national budgets to the question of how and where to save and what money is spent. As things go very wrong. Therefore, it is worth arguing about.
