2024.05.05 13:42 BellonaKid Trip gap between Granada and Seville. Where to spend a day?
My partner and I have been piecing together our Andalucia trip. We will be spending 3 days in Granada. Because accommodations were so much more expensive in Seville for the weekend after, we’ve decided to spend 1 day, 2 nights in a small in-between destination.
Where would you recommend we go? We are interested in mountain villages, outdoor treks, and the coast. Side question: what is camping like in Spain?

South East Asia vs. Mexico/Central America
Hey together, I‘m M20 from Germany and right now contemplating about what to do next year in January and February, since I‘m gonna have some time off from university.
I don’t have any proper plans yet, my goal is to decide on one destination and then look for good flight offers. I want to travel for 6-8 weeks and my plan is to travel spontaneously and book my next stops on the go. I also have quite a lot of solo travel experience in Europe and Morocco already. My budget is around 2000€ excluding flights (which I hope to get around 500€, since I‘m quite flexible with dates and departure airports).
I‘m kinda torn between these options:
South East Asia: Not doing a circle, but fly into Singapore/Kuala Lumpur and out of Hanoi (or the other way round) and explore Malaysia, Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. I also enjoy destinations that are a bit off the beaten path, thus I’m interested in Malaysia. I definitely want to see Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Luang Prabang and some Islands in Thailand. I fear however that burning season might be a problem.
Mexico/Central America: Fly into CDMX and head south from there, would love to go surfing for a week or so. Can you recommend a surf camp? I definitely want to see Oaxaca and Puerto Escondido, Lagos di Atilan and Granada, and I would do rather Nicaragua, Honduras/El Salvador and Guatemala instead of Yucatan.
Other Options: Sri Lanka, but I fear it’s more Digital Nomads, Couples and not that social. Has anyone stayed there in a surf camp and how was it?
To my expectations: I really like being outdoors, so I want to see some nature, a few interesting towns/cities would also be interesting, I like a mix of everything (but I think both destinations can cater to that). I also like to party quite a bit, but it is not my priority on this trip (I‘ll spend four months on Erasmus in Finland before, so I primarily want to travel somewhere warm).
My biggest fear in South East Asia is that I read quite a few stories about hostels being „cliquey“ and a lot of people traveling in groups, and since I am not the most outgoing person and find it much easier to connect with other people, this might be an issue. Has anyone a comparison regarding this topic between SEA/CA/MX? Also would love any recommendations regarding the places I mentioned or if you know other places i must visit :)

2024.05.04 07:38 Sergey_Taboritsky The Coronation of Farkas I
While Blielor was Vuldavia’s temporal capital, the location of its government, it’s highest spiritual authority actually resided in the city of Domi, the archbishopric there. Many religious functions were handled there instead, but one matter the Archbishop of Domi traveled to Blielor for, was the coronation of a King. Farkas made the controversial decision of having it filmed. He believed it was the right of every Vuldavia to be able to attend, that was the next best option, even if it’s viewing was still limited. It was for the sake of history and for the legitimacy of the house of Arany.
The streets of Blielor were packed with Vuldavians hoping to catch a glimpse of their new King, but first came a traditional military parade in full dress uniform. The most distinguished soldiers had gathered in Camp Dubron, rehearsing constantly for this moment, so it would be perfect. Immediately preceding the King’s carriage was the King’s Own Hussar’s as it was not just tradition, but the unit shared a strong bond with Farkas Arany specifically, having once been their commander. As the Royal guard many were on horseback. The King’s carriage was opulent, lined in gold and pulled by a team of white horses. It dated back to 1783 though it has been repaired and updated. King Arany waved to his subjects, as his consort, Alida.
The parade stopped at the steps of the Remar Basilica, the soldiers parted to either side, allowing the carriage to come up close. The captain of the guard opened the carriage door for him, but King Arany made it down the considerable height on his own, before taking his wife’s hand, helping her down. Both were in extravagant royal clothes, Farkas in his dress uniform.
Farkas Arany was not a nervous man and yet he was a little. All of his career, his lifetime of service had culminated in this moment. Alida kept holding his hand.
Inside the Remar Basilica was just as packed. Seated were the nobility, clergy, Members of Parliament, Supreme Court justices and other important state figures. Also present were foreign heads of state such as King Viliam of Blauro Silvakia, and the ambassadors for many nations. The Chancellor of Osteria could not attend due to his personal beliefs on monarchy and those of his nation, but he still wrote a kind letter to King Arany.
Though with the start of the procession inside, all those that could rise did so, whether in reverence to their new king or respect for another nation’s.
At the end of the procession was Arany himself, who was greeted by the choir. He looked to his right to see his brother Denzo, his daughter Agnes and her husband Georg. Fruzsina was there as well, in a closer row he saw the Prime Minister and his cabinet. He looked forward again, there was the Archbishop.
He stepped forward, towards the Archbishop and the throne.
The Archbishop shouted, “Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, your rightful King, Farkas Arany…” he turned to Farkas, “Do you, Farkas Arany solemnly swear to govern the people of Vuldavia justly and benevolently, in the name of God, Voltal?”
“I solemnly swear to do so.”
“Do you solemnly swear to uphold and defend the law both temporal and spiritual?”
“I do.”
“Do you swear to defend the Orthodox Reuelist Church, the faith of our most pious people, its practices, beliefs and the values it embodies, enshrined in our Kingdom’s constitution?”
“I do.”
“Do you have anything you wish to say sire? A further oath, as first of a new line?”
“I am humbled that the people of this great nation and the lord above have bestowed this honour upon me. I swear that the remainder of my life, however long that may be, will be in their service, so help me God.”
The archbishop then guided Farkas behind a screen, to be anointed with oil.
Away from the eyes of the nation, Farkas removed his shirt. The archbishop muttered a prayer, spreading the oil on his, forehead and bare chest with his fingers. “I anoint thee, in the name of Voltal.”
Farkas emerged from behind the screen in a long regal robe. He was ushered onto the throne. He was soon to be crowned king.
The archbishop walked over to the altar, carrying back with him an ancient sword. He handed the blade gently to Farkas, who looked it over. The Sword of Kardos. It was of near mythical status, being allegedly a possession of Szilvestzter himself.
“By accepting this blade, you will take upon the mantle of a protector, in the name of the lord Voltal.”
Another priest came by, with a scepter, decorated with golden olive branches. Farkas took it with his other hand, it was heavy.
“By accepting this sceptre, you assume the authority given to Kings by our creator, and a responsibility to govern righteously.”
The Archbishop stepped back, “A king must balance these responsibilities, for the sake of his people, he may not neglect either. Our history tells us this. Do you, Farkas Arany accept this burden?”
“I do and may God guide me in doing so.”
The Archbishop nodded, then returned to the altar, picking up the Crown of Saint Izsak, the patron saint of Vuldavia. He slowly carried it over to Farkas, looking into his eyes for a moment before setting it down on his head. King Farkas remained seated on the throne, to receive the fealty of his new subjects. The archbishop stepped back and bowed, followed by all the guests in the Basilica.
Farkas’ wife Alida came from the sidelines and sat down beside him, the Archbishop crowned her as well, as Queen Consort of Vuldavia.
All through the Basilica there were chants of “God save the King! God save the King!”
Then, for the first time in over a decade, there were words to the Vuldavian anthem. The anthem, with the aid of a band, was sang in its entirety. The throne of Vuldavia was vacant no longer.

2024.04.26 01:40 roguemaster29 Japanese-American internment camp locations. Ancestry just made available all of the Japanese American internment camp records.
 | Japanese internment camps 1942 submitted by roguemaster29 to AncestryDNA [link] [comments] During World War II, fears of an immigrant fifth column led President Franklin D. Roosevelt to order 120,000 Japanese Americans into internment camps in the western United States. The majority of internees were American citizens, and many were born in the United States. Internment ended in 1944, before Japan surrendered to the United States. But many internees had lost their homes and belongings. Several thousand German Americans and Italian Americans, among others, were also put into camps during World War II. But the scope of the Japanese internment is striking — especially because no Japanese American was ever found guilty of espionage. Not sure about Italian and German. |

 | Wedding is in July. The location is like a garden camp ground kind of thing. Dress code is as follows for women: “semi-formal attire. We encourage you to wear midi or max dresses in pink, purple, yellow, or fun floral patterns”. submitted by Express_Avocado6758 to Weddingattireapproval [link] [comments] What do we think? Formal enough? Too close to white? |
2024.04.11 12:24 Ok-Goose6242 What if the Republicans won the Spanish Civil War?
 | In out timeline, the Republicans ultimately lost for several reasons, including internal divisions, lack of international support, and the assistance for Franco from Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. But what if the Republicans won? Maybe this could happen if they had better coordination, less internal disputes and strong international support from the Allies. How would this change history? Would they join the Comintern? submitted by Ok-Goose6242 to AlternateHistory [link] [comments] |

March 29: An Azeri Telegram channel shares a video recorded by an Armenian person showing several trucks with Armenian soldiers driving inside an Armenian community. The channel doesn't claim that it's on the border. [Armenia's defense ministry later said there is a routine motorcade training by new conscripts and that some other circulated footage was old.]
March 30: A Russian Telegram channel makes the first known claim that the said activity was near the border, and described it as the biggest movement since September 2023.
Russian Telegram's unverified claim is then circulated by several Russian and Azerbaijani media outlets.
This was followed by disinformation by Azerbaijan about a supposed ceasefire violation by Armenia. Azerbaijan then violated the ceasefire the day after the disinformation.
Two things happened the next day: (1) Russia warned Armenia that the escalation on the AM-AZ border depends on the extent to which Armenia deepens the West's presence in Armenia. (2) Blinken called Aliyev and told him there was no justification for increased tension on the border.
source, source, source,
REPORTER: What is this meeting about and what are the expectations?
ARMEN GRIGORYAN, NatSec: This is a very important meeting but some countries and figures inflate the facts. During the Granada meeting, Leyen said the EU would work with the US to support Armenia. April 5 is both a continuation of a process and an "event". The leaders will meet to discuss ways to expedite the implementation of the agreements. It's mainly about the economy.
We want to gain access to technologies and the markets of the US and EU. During the April 5 meeting, they will discuss the existing and new topics. The April 5 will undoubtedly change our relations with the EU and US, but it should be viewed as a continuation of the ongoing process. Armenia must implement reforms to expand economic ties. In turn, the EU and the US should make changes to allow us to move forward.
REPORTER: What is economic diversification and what should we expect?
GRIGORYAN: We should not be dependent on a single link. We need to have multiple economic partners. For objective and subjective reasons, Armenia hasn't had access to Western technologies. We are negotiating to change this, so our businesses can have a chance to prosper. There are intense discussions with the US.
REPORTER: Russia and Azerbaijan criticize the April 5 meeting.
GRIGORYAN: This will be exclusively an AM-EU-US agenda that won't cover regional issues. The narratives coming from Russia and Azerbaijan are unjustified; they are trying to generate noise. They falsely claim that a defense pact is going to be signed. They are spreading disinformation.
REPORTER: Russia says the AM-AZ tension directly depends on the extent to which Armenia will allow the US, UK, and EU to increase their "destructive role in the region".
GRIGORYAN: The UK isn't even invited to this meeting so that's news to me. As I've said, false narratives are being formed around this meeting.
REPORTER: Is Moscow directly warning Armenia that there will be border tensions if Armenia deepens ties with the West?
GRIGORYAN: I don't know if that's the assessment of Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Zakharova's or Baku's, but...
REPORTER: It's Zakharova saying that...
GRIGORYAN: That's concerning because that would indicate the level of AM-AZ tensions depends more on Russia than on Azerbaijan. [bruh, are we having another gloves off moment?]
REPORTER: In a phone call, Aliyev told Blinken he has no intention to attack Armenia, and reaffirmed his commitment to the 1991 Almaty Declaration.
GRIGORYAN: The delimitation and demarcation must be based on the Almaty Declaration. We hope there will be progress here on the ground if we see signals.
REPORTER: Opposition figures criticize Pashinyan's policies because they believe stronger ties with the West will harm our relations with neighboring Iran. On the other hand, the French Ambassador says France and Iran share a common goal to protect Armenia's territorial integrity.
GRIGORYAN: One of our strategic goals is Armenia's territorial integrity. Here we have a very high-level mutual understanding with Iran and we value our relations with Iran. We held very difficult but honest discussions with Iran and we were able to build very strong ties with them. At the same time, Armenia follows the [anti-Iran] sanctions, but we continue to work with them and we value their stance on Armenia's territorial integrity. We will continue to develop our relations with Iran.
REPORTER: The opposition figures say the EU's border mission in Armenia is acting against Iran.
GRIGORYAN: We are discussing every issue with Iran at the highest levels. I think those in the opposition who make such claims are doing so under the influence of external forces. But I can assure you that in many instances Armenia and Iran naturally share a common strategic goal. You have no idea how intense our political dialogue is with Iran. We hold transparent discussions with them, and whenever there are questions, we are able to answer them. Both the West and Iran understand Armenia's position thanks to our transparent dialogue; we never do anything secret.
REPORTER: Tell us about Armenia-France relations.
GRIGORYAN: Our relations have never been this strong and multifaceted. It involves defense now. France is very sensitive to Armenia's security needs. France was the first country to warn about a possible ethnic cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh, while some Western countries criticized them for the "exaggeration". The history proved that France was right. And today France is very sensitive to Armenia's security. We often hear unjustified criticism of France. We have intense military and political dialogue with them.

It was more comprehensive and binding [compared to today's CEPA] and it included a free economic cooperation component. After years of negotiations, Armenia rejected it in 2013 and chose to join [Russia's] Customs Union, which later became known as EAEU (EEU).
Nevertheless, the negotiations with the EU did not stop and the parties removed the economic component from the Association Agreement and settled on the CEPA that we have today. Parts of CEPA went into force in 2018, and fully by March 2021.
CEPA is underrated. If Armenia properly implements every CEPA step, it will take our Euro-integration process several steps forward. This is the same agreement that Georgia and Moldova have, minus the free economic cooperation component. Almost every aspect of our lives, every sector, is covered by CEPA. We are doing everything possible to implement it.
There were geopolitical changes. After 2020 the EU increased its activities in the South Caucasus. In 2021 the EU offered Armenia a new economic and investment program worth €2.6 billion. It was a mixture of programs with various grants and loans. As of right now, they have provided our economy €550 million of it. Most of it was aid to small and medium enterprises in the forms of loans with favorable terms, and they have absorbed it fairly quickly. The rest of the investments are in areas of capital projects, and as you know, for objective and subjective reasons, these funds are spent and absorbed slower. The largest one is the North-South highway's Agarak-Sisian section. We are talking about over €1 billion. We have significant progress in this area.
The EU increased its role in our region beyond economic support. After the invasion of Armenia by Azerbaijan in 2022, the EU, despite its complicated internal procedures, very quickly dispatched a border monitoring mission. Its role in Armenia's security cannot be overestimated. The EU has 13 such civilian missions around the world; ours is one of them and we believe it's the 2nd or 3rd largest. In December the EU decided to double the number to 209.
Besides that, Armenia has requested the EU to provide support through the European Peace Facility(?). This is a defense fund that provides various forms of non-lethal weapons and technologies. We are discussing this with the EU.
The EU-Armenia Partnership Council, which is the highest-level interstate body, reached an agreement recently [February] to launch discussions around a new EU-AM partnership agenda and cooperation on every level. What is this about? It's a political document that's in the works. We expect it to be ready in May-June.
The European Parliament's role in the strengthening of AM-EU relations cannot be overestimated. It is the flagbearer. It is working heavily to promote the AM-EU ties in every European institution. The European Parliament dedicated large portions of recent resolutions to Armenia, and their understanding of the situation in the South Caucasus is very precise and objective. Their March 13 resolution on AM-EU relations raised a new wave of public discussions not only in Armenia but also in the EU. There are discussions around Armenia's path, tools, volume, and speed of reforms.
We have invited you here today to discuss the opportunities, challenges, and solutions. //
MARAGOS, EU AMBASSADOR: The process to launch the development of the new EU-AM Partnership Agenda launched in February 2024 during a meeting by the EU-Armenia Partnership Council. This came after the October 2023 Granada meeting and the work by a fact-finding mission in November. We expect the new Partnership Agenda to refresh and supplement CEPA.
The work includes democracy, human rights, defense, economy, energy, trade diversification, infrastructure, higher-standard products, visa-free regime, etc. Work is underway in every direction. Both sides agree that the EU-AM process has never been as dynamic as it is today.
CEPA should be implemented in full. Armenia should meet certain standards in governance, human rights, environmental protection, digital transition, and food safety. The EU wants to expedite its implementation and modernize Armenia's economy.
Together with the Armenian government and international financial institutions, we have created a platform for investment management to identify priority areas and ways to expedite investments. Work is underway here but we'd like to expedite it. It has already mobilized over €550 million. We have invested in Green Yerevan, the economy, and the private sector. Over €120 million was mobilized for over 35 projects in Syunik Province; this is part of the Team Europe initiative.
Defense is a hot topic in Armenia. We see progress in the cooperation in this area. A very important and honest Political and Defense meeting was held in November. I'd like to thank the Armenian government for this meeting. The EU is looking into providing non-lethal weapons to Armenia; we are talking about a significant level of support that will hopefully improve Armenia's resilience.
The EU welcomes Armenia's efforts to comply with sanctions.
The EU acknowledges the extensive efforts by Armenia to aid the refugees. The EU has mobilized €60 million in humanitarian and budget assistance. We are discussing with the Armenian government additional aid for their housing, and the opportunity for the civil society to provide social and psychological support to refugees.
The EU wants to deepen ties with Armenia based on our shared values. We are all Europe. //
The floor was given to pro-West politicians and public figures. They criticized the Serj administration for abandoning the EU integration in 2013 and called for severe reduction or complete removal of all Russian military presence in Armenia. They demanded PM Pashinyan submit a bid for EU candidacy as soon as possible and sign new economic agreements with the EU and other parts of the world in order to allow Armenia's smooth exit from Russia's EAEU trade bloc. They urged Pashinyan to form a new Ministry of Euro-integration, and seize the control of Armenia's railway, gas, and other infrastructure from Russia. "While Azerbaijan is backed by Turkey and Russia, Armenia will have the support of the EU and US." They called for a referendum to allow the Armenian public to solidify the country's Western pivot.
Opposition figure(s) allied with the former regime criticized the EU's border monitoring mission in Armenia, describing it as a failure and calling out its "inability to assist the AM-AZ border delimitation process". They accused the EU of derailing the previous [OSCE] Nagorno-Karabakh negotiation process and contributing to the loss of Nagorno-Karabakh. They accused Armenia's ruling party of licking European boots.
Pro-West figures noted that the biggest opponents of EU's border mission appear to be Azerbaijan and the pro-Russia opposition figures in Armenia.

ECONOMY MINISTER: The ministry requests each department to present the standards they need. This year's 9 additions are in the area of cadastre. We need to bring them in line with ISO standards. Some of the standards need to be developed from the ground up. For example, if we don't have a compliant standard for determining the level of phosphorus and calcium in water, our water companies can't export their products to the global market.
PASHINYAN: Basically we need to have specific standards to be able to export our water and eggplant caviar to the EU, US, and other states. How come we haven't raised the standards sooner to benefit our own consumers and ensure our children weren't consuming crap for decades?
I'll tell you why. That's because raising standards meant raising prices. That is the whole story. We need to speak with the public about this. A moderate-low inflation isn't necessarily bad; it's a sign of healthy economic growth. Do we want a high-quality state and high-quality life or not?
I'm forced to wear a suit and tie, which is more expensive than my slippers and sweatsuits. That's also a result of certain "standards", but it's necessary to have it. [Ararat is taller than Aragats as a result of inflation driven by higher national-patriotic standards? 🤔🤔🤔🤔]
When people see food being sold in the open air on a sidewalk, they often don't question the quality and ethics of that, but when you prohibit the sidewalk sale, they complain about higher prices in stores. Why is the price higher in stores? Because it's safer and healthier. You actually save money by not losing work hours while spending a week in a hospital for food poisoning. A higher standard is better for you.
Today's discussion around our ability to export to the EU is a great opportunity for us to stop drinking poison. Some of our businesses will need the government's help to make initial investments to raise their standards.
But do we observe the compliance with standards? I have come to the realization that the state inspection agencies alone, be it road traffic or food, are insufficient unless citizens raise the standards in their heads. As a consumer, aren't you also interested in the standards being higher? Don't you want to know what's in your child's toy? [Please don't rip that teddy bear.]
With the exception of a few quota-related cases, global markets have always been open for Armenia but the international trade organizations set standards above the standards in Armenia. We need to explain to our population why we need higher standards.
Another example of us raising the standards is the planned implementation of universal healthcare. It will cost you $X/month but it'll improve the quality of your life and long-term finances. //
ECONOMY MINISTER: We are not reinventing the wheel. It's been tried and tested in the world that higher standards with slightly higher prices are better in the long term, for your health, and for your ability to work. A higher standard is an "investment" that will bring benefits in the long run. At first glance, something like the font used in textbooks may seem trivial but it has a direct impact on how well the child studies and absorbs the information.
PASHINYAN: We should not avoid discussing topics that are unpopular [potential price hikes caused by higher standards]. Sometimes you know it will be met with insults. Nobody likes receiving insults but if we don't discuss these topics now, and tomorrow's government also doesn't discuss it, who is going to make the change? If you only do or say things that are met with cheers and claps, your place is in the theater. I'm glad we have the political will to make decisions. The decision to set new standards isn't difficult, the difficulty is in the implementation and enforcement.
OFFICIAL: One of the 39 standards being adopted today pertains to 911 calls. Today when you call an ambulance, you are often forced to walk down the street to guide the vehicle to the correct condo entrance. The new cadastre standard will allow the creation of a unified address database. It will be used by delivery services, police, ambulance, etc.
PASHINYAN: Ahh. I finally understand why we have always greeted the ambulance. I have always thought it was just a gesture of respect towards the doctors, hahaha. I'm ashamed to admit this.

CHUDAKOV: The Armenian regulator also functions in accordance with IAEA and World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO) safety standards. Armenia knows how to properly operate the NPP, so any attacks by neighboring countries are unfounded and often politicized.
There is a continuous process to extend the reactor's lifespan with international standards. Taking into account the fact that the Armenian NPP unit is already old, it is necessary to look for its replacement. I know that Armenia is working on these issues.
QUESTION: Armenia is interested in small modular reactors (SMRs) for safety and cost reasons. What are the available options?
CHUDAKOV: SMRs are quite a promising direction and many countries are planning to build such reactors. There aren't many proposals in the market at the moment - there are about 80 such projects on paper in 20 countries, but only Russia and China actually make them. The Russian proposal is based on already existing reactors, which were tested for decades and used on icebreakers. Russia is also building land-based reactors. [Note: Earlier this month, Russia offered Armenia SMRs with capacity as small as 50 MW.]
Russia can offer Armenia such SMRs. Other countries can also offer them, but they do not have a pilot project, and the pilot project and the first one built may differ significantly from those that will go into series.
There are very good projects in the UK and South Korea, but they are not done yet. It is necessary to build and demonstrate normal and safe operation, and then sell it to other countries. //

the misinformation that Armenia was accumulating large forces and equipment near the AM-AZ border originated from a Russian Telegram channel: fact-checker
Earlier this week Azerbaijani outlets claimed Armenia was moving heavy equipment and personnel to various parts of the border. Armenia and the EU border mission refuted the claim, and France later called it "fake news". Fact-checker FIP has learned the following:March 29: An Azeri Telegram channel shares a video recorded by an Armenian person showing several trucks with Armenian soldiers driving inside an Armenian community. The channel doesn't claim that it's on the border. [Armenia's defense ministry later said there is a routine motorcade training by new conscripts and that some other circulated footage was old.]
March 30: A Russian Telegram channel makes the first known claim that the said activity was near the border, and described it as the biggest movement since September 2023.
Russian Telegram's unverified claim is then circulated by several Russian and Azerbaijani media outlets.
This was followed by disinformation by Azerbaijan about a supposed ceasefire violation by Armenia. Azerbaijan then violated the ceasefire the day after the disinformation.
Two things happened the next day: (1) Russia warned Armenia that the escalation on the AM-AZ border depends on the extent to which Armenia deepens the West's presence in Armenia. (2) Blinken called Aliyev and told him there was no justification for increased tension on the border.

PM Pashinyan leaves Armenia
He flew to Brussels on Thursday to discuss economic projects with Blinken, Samantha Powers, and von der Leyen tomorrow.REPORTER: What is this meeting about and what are the expectations?
ARMEN GRIGORYAN, NatSec: This is a very important meeting but some countries and figures inflate the facts. During the Granada meeting, Leyen said the EU would work with the US to support Armenia. April 5 is both a continuation of a process and an "event". The leaders will meet to discuss ways to expedite the implementation of the agreements. It's mainly about the economy.
We want to gain access to technologies and the markets of the US and EU. During the April 5 meeting, they will discuss the existing and new topics. The April 5 will undoubtedly change our relations with the EU and US, but it should be viewed as a continuation of the ongoing process. Armenia must implement reforms to expand economic ties. In turn, the EU and the US should make changes to allow us to move forward.
REPORTER: What is economic diversification and what should we expect?
GRIGORYAN: We should not be dependent on a single link. We need to have multiple economic partners. For objective and subjective reasons, Armenia hasn't had access to Western technologies. We are negotiating to change this, so our businesses can have a chance to prosper. There are intense discussions with the US.

We will continue to develop our relations with Iran.

Armenian parliament invited civil society members and politicians to hold a 5-hour discussion on Armenia's European aspirations, integration benefits and challenges
RULING PARTY: In the early 2000s, the EU made a big push to increase cooperation with eastern states. This is when Armenia also began discussing an Association Agreement. It resembled the agreement signed with Western Balkan states.It was more comprehensive and binding [compared to today's CEPA] and it included a free economic cooperation component. After years of negotiations, Armenia rejected it in 2013 and chose to join [Russia's] Customs Union, which later became known as EAEU (EEU).

the Government discussed state standards and European standards
On Thursday the executive branch approved the State Standardization Program for 2024.aims to develop and revise national standards in accordance with international and European standards, which contributes to economic development in various sectors, including modernization of the technological base, removal of technical barriers to trade, export promotion, energy conservation, increased productivity, and efficiency in various areas.PASHINYAN: This year we plan to develop 39 state standards instead of 30. Tell us more about them.
ECONOMY MINISTER: The ministry requests each department to present the standards they need. This year's 9 additions are in the area of cadastre. We need to bring them in line with ISO standards.

With the exception of a few quota-related cases, global markets have always been open for Armenia but the international trade organizations set standards above the standards in Armenia. We need to explain to our population why we need higher standards.
Another example of us raising the standards is the planned implementation of universal healthcare. It will cost you $X/month but it'll improve the quality of your life and long-term finances. //
ECONOMY MINISTER: We are not reinventing the wheel. It's been tried and tested in the world that higher standards with slightly higher prices are better in the long term, for your health, and for your ability to work. A higher standard is an "investment" that will bring benefits in the long run. At first glance, something like the font used in textbooks may seem trivial but it has a direct impact on how well the child studies and absorbs the information.
PASHINYAN: We should not avoid discussing topics that are unpopular [potential price hikes caused by higher standards]. Sometimes you know it will be met with insults. Nobody likes receiving insults but if we don't discuss these topics now, and tomorrow's government also doesn't discuss it, who is going to make the change? If you only do or say things that are met with cheers and claps, your place is in the theater. I'm glad we have the political will to make decisions. The decision to set new standards isn't difficult, the difficulty is in the implementation and enforcement.
OFFICIAL: One of the 39 standards being adopted today pertains to 911 calls. Today when you call an ambulance, you are often forced to walk down the street to guide the vehicle to the correct condo entrance. The new cadastre standard will allow the creation of a unified address database. It will be used by delivery services, police, ambulance, etc.
PASHINYAN: Ahh. I finally understand why we have always greeted the ambulance. I have always thought it was just a gesture of respect towards the doctors, hahaha. I'm ashamed to admit this.

France: economic diversification is an important tool on Armenia's path to independence
FRENCH EMBASSY: Armenia needs diversification in all areas - economy, defense, as well as politics. One should not put all eggs in one basket. Today the Armenian branch of the French company Veolia is the operator of Armenia's water supply system, and the French company AMUNDI-ACBA is one of the managers of the country's pension funds. We have started the process of assisting Armenia and we can do more. This implies that Armenia has a favorable business environment, which in turn implies fighting corruption, monopolies, as well as creating favorable conditions for foreign enterprises that operate in Armenia. The French telecom Orange had to leave Armenia [in 2015] due to unfavorable conditions, which disappointed numerous French businesses. Armenia should improve the conditions for business.source,

Armenia is pivoting to the West. It's time for Europe to step up: Andres Rasmussen, former head of NATO and the head of a pro-Armenia group
RASMUSSEN: The Armenian government has made a bold and concerted effort to consolidate Armenia's democracy and build closer relations with the democratic West. The EU should not be a neutral actor between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Armenia has chosen the community of European democracies, while Azerbaijan sits in the camp of aggressive autocracies. A lack of European clarity and ambition could endanger Armenia's young democracy and jeopardize its geopolitical pivot. Russian propagandists have sought to undermine the legitimacy of the Armenian government... //Rasmussen calls for the EU to supply lethal weapons to Armenia, hold joint military exercises, and modernize Armenia's army.

debate ensues around the translation of the interview by the French Ambassador to H1 TV
Pro-West figures suggested that the Ambassador called for Armenia to leave CSTO in exchange for assistance. They accused H1 of false translation to "cover-up" the West's "demands". A fact-checker says H1's translation was accurate. The pro-West figures relied presumably on a partly unintelligible audio segment.The French Ambassador said Armenia's formal economic and military ties with Russia were not an obstacle to the supply of French weapons.
Sans que l’Arménie est quitté l’organisation du traité de sécurité collectiveBut H1's translator made an error in another segment, later corrected by the Ambassador himself: "I said, ironically: 'It would be the first time that Russia submits...' and not 'It would be good if Russia submits...' - which is quite different."
FOREIGN MINISTRY of ARMENIA: The US and the EU are not pressuring Armenia to leave the Russian-led alliances of ex-Soviet states. //

Armenia's nuclear power plant is safe and reliable, but time is approaching to replace it: deputy direct of the International Atomic Energy Agency
Statements by Mikhail Chudakov, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Deputy Director General and Head of the IAEA Nuclear Energy.CHUDAKOV: The Armenian regulator also functions in accordance with IAEA and World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO) safety standards. Armenia knows how to properly operate the NPP, so any attacks by neighboring countries are unfounded and often politicized.
There is a continuous process to extend the reactor's lifespan with international standards. Taking into account the fact that the Armenian NPP unit is already old, it is necessary to look for its replacement. I know that Armenia is working on these issues.
QUESTION: Armenia is interested in small modular reactors (SMRs) for safety and cost reasons. What are the available options?
CHUDAKOV: SMRs are quite a promising direction and many countries are planning to build such reactors. There aren't many proposals in the market at the moment - there are about 80 such projects on paper in 20 countries, but only Russia and China actually make them. The Russian proposal is based on already existing reactors, which were tested for decades and used on icebreakers. Russia is also building land-based reactors. [Note: Earlier this month, Russia offered Armenia SMRs with capacity as small as 50 MW.]
Russia can offer Armenia such SMRs. Other countries can also offer them, but they do not have a pilot project, and the pilot project and the first one built may differ significantly from those that will go into series.
There are very good projects in the UK and South Korea, but they are not done yet. It is necessary to build and demonstrate normal and safe operation, and then sell it to other countries. //

2024.04.03 08:55 Fluid-Weird-9414 Please rate my 18-20 day planned trip to your beautiful country :)
A bit about me:
30M, from the US, but I've been living abroad for 8 years.
I studied Spanish for about 4 years and spent some time in Florida for a bit of practical experience. I wouldn't say I'm quite 'conversational', but I'm comfortable in basic situations (and of course eager to practice more!).
I'm interested in learning about Nicaraguan history and culture, good walking towns/cities, nature excursions, social hostels/nightlife, and at least one uninterrupted 5 day stretch of surf lessons.
Day 1: Overnight flight into Managua, bus to San Juan Del Sur area (I'm looking at staying in Playa Maderas but open to suggestions).
Day 2-6: Surf camp
I'd like the option to head into SJDS for the day/night, but not stay in the heart of things, hoping for a more laid back experience here.
Day 7: Bus/Ferry to Ometepe
Day 7-9: Ometepe
Rent a motorbike to explore the islands, do a bit swimming, hiking, etc. Recommendations for fun hostels here? Preferably with a private room option
Day 10: Head out to Granada
Day 10-13: Granada
I'd love to spend time learning about the history here, checking out the food scene, and of course the treehouse party
Day 14: Head to Leon
Day 14-17: Leon
Another city that seems amazing from everything I've read!
Day 18: Head back to Managua for the flight home.
It's possible I can add a couple more days total onto the trip, but this is my overall plan.
Anywhere you think I'm staying too long?
Any suggestions for accommodation, activities, transport etc.? I'd love to hear.
Muchas Gracias!

2024.03.21 06:42 miarrial Tout ce que vous devez savoir sur l'élection présidentielle 2024 au Sénégal
 | Lien submitted by miarrial to francophonie [link] [comments] Les Sénégalais se rendent aux urnes le 24 mars 2024 pour élire leur 5e président. Au total, 19 candidats sont en lice pour le fauteuil de président de la République du Sénégal. C'est la première fois qu'un tel nombre de candidats est enregistré. Ils étaient cinq lors de la dernière élection présidentielle en 2019, quatorze en 2012, 15 en 2007 et 8 lors de la de la première alternance en 2000 et en 1993. Cette élection revêt un caractère inédit, car pour la première fois dans l’histoire politique du Sénégal, le chef de l’Etat sortant ne sera pas candidat. A lire aussi sur BBC Afrique :
Pourquoi cette élection présidentielle est-elle spéciale ? Qui succédera à Macky Sall et deviendra le prochain président de la République du Sénégal ? La rédaction de BBC Afrique vous donne les clés pour comprendre le déroulement du scrutin ainsi que les enjeux de l'élection présidentielle 2024 au Sénégal. Quand aura lieu l’élection présidentielle ?Initialement prévue le 25 février 2024 avant d’être reportée, l'élection présidentielle au Sénégal aura finalement lieu le dimanche 24 mars 2024. Ce sera la douzième depuis l'indépendance du pays en 1960. Environ 7,3 millions d’électeurs sont inscrits sur les 18 millions d’habitants.Lors de la dernière présidentielle en 2019, ils étaient 6 683 043 électeurs inscrits dont 4 428 680 votants, selon les résultats officiels publiés par le Conseil constitutionnel. Une électrice sénégalaise vote lors du référendum constitutionnel du 20 mars 2016 Quel est le mode de scrutin ?Le président de la République du Sénégal est élu pour un mandat de cinq ans, au suffrage universel direct et au scrutin uninominal majoritaire à deux tours.Initialement de sept ans, la durée de son mandat a été réduite à cinq ans renouvelable une seule fois, suite au référendum constitutionnel de 2016. La Commission électorale nationale autonome (CENA) est chargée d'organiser et de superviser les élections. Si, au premier tour, aucun candidat n'obtient la majorité absolue des suffrages exprimés, un second tour sera organisé le troisième dimanche suivant le jour de la proclamation officielle des résultats par le Conseil constitutionnel, pour départager les deux candidats arrivés en tête au premier tour. Le président Macky Sall ne se présente pas à l'élection présidentielle de 2024 Qui peut être candidat à l’élection présidentielle ?Selon l’article 28 de la Constitution, peut être candidat à la Présidence de la République toute personne qui :
Qui peut voter ?Tout citoyen sénégalais âgé de 18 ans ou plus, jouissant de ses droits civils et politiques et inscrit sur les listes électorales pourra voter à l'élection présidentielle.Une femme choisit parmi les cinq bulletins de vote lors de l’élection présidentielle sénégalaise de 2019, dans un bureau de vote à Fatick le 24 février 2019 Qui sont les candidats à la magistrature suprême ?Le 20 janvier dernier, le Conseil constitutionnel du Sénégal a rendu publique la liste définitive des 20 candidats à l'élection présidentielle du 24 mars 2024.Cette liste est passée à 19 candidats après le retrait de la course de la candidate Rose Wardini le 19 février, après que des soupçons autour de sa double nationalité (sénégalaise et française) sont apparus après la publication de la liste des candidats. Dans cette liste définitive, figurent l'ancien Premier ministre Amadou Ba, 62 ans et candidat désigné par le président Macky Sall pour défendre les couleurs de la coalition présidentielle Benno Bokk Yaakar, Khalifa Sall 64 ans, ancien ministre et maire de la capitale Dakar, candidat pour la première fois après avoir été recalé en 2019, Idrissa Seck 65 ans, ancien Premier ministre sous l'ex président Abdoulaye Wade (2002-2004), qui se présente pour la quatrième fois consécutive à une présidentielle après 2007, 2012 et 2019 et Bassirou Diomaye Faye, 43 ans, inspecteur des impôts, lieutenant et suppléant d'Ousmane Sonko dont la candidature a été invalidée. L’ancien premier ministre Amadou Ba affaibli par son propre camp, peut compter sur le soutien du président Macky Sall qui a appelé son parti à faire bloc derrière le candidat qu’il a choisi (photo : Dakar, le 21 décembre 2023) Parmi les 19 prétendants, on note aussi deux autres candidats alliés de Sonko et parrainés par les députés de l’ex Pastef, que sont Habib Sy et Cheikh Tidiane Diéye, des candidatures dissidentes du camp présidentiel, notamment celle de l’ancien Premier ministre Mouhamad Boun Abdallah Dionne (2014-2019) ou encore celle de l’ex-ministre de l’Intérieur et de l’Agriculture, Aly Ngouille Ndiaye. Affiche de campagne du candidat de l'ex Pastef avec Ousmane Sonko (à droite) et le candidat Bassirou Diomaye Faye (à gauche) Après le désistement de Rose Wardini, une seule candidature féminine est en lice parmi les 19 concurrents, celle d'Anta Babacar Ngom, 40 ans, directrice générale de l'entreprise avicole Sedima et qui n'a pas de chapelle politique. Des personnalités politiques de premier plan, avec une longue expérience gouvernementale, mais aussi des dirigeants de partis d'opposition bien implantés sur terrain, ainsi que des candidats indépendants avec de riches parcours professionnels, autant de profils différents parmi lesquels les électeurs devront faire leur choix. Idrissa Seck, candidat à l'élection présidentielle au Sénégal, vote dans un bureau de vote à Thiès, le 24 février 2019 Voici la liste des 19 candidats à la présidentielle 2024 au Sénégal :
Anta Babacar, candidate à l'élection présidentielle sénégalaise, salue ses partisans depuis un véhicule lors d'un rassemblement à Dakar, le lundi 11 mars 2024 L'ancien Premier ministre Mahammed Boun Abdallah Dionne s'exprime lors d'un meeting, le 27 juillet 2017 à Dakar. Comment ont-ils été sélectionnés ?Depuis l'introduction d'une réforme dans le code électoral, les candidats sont obligés de recueillir des parrainages de la part d'électeurs inscrits sur les listes électorales.Selon la loi électorale sénégalaise, chaque candidat a le choix entre 3 types de parrainage. - le parrainage citoyen : le candidat doit recueillir les parrainages d’un minimum de 0,6 % et d’un maximum de 0,8 % du fichier électoral, soit entre 44 231 et 58 975 signatures. Pour les parrainages citoyens, ils doivent être collectés dans au moins sept régions, à raison d’au moins 2 000 par région, le reste pouvant être collecté dans le reste du pays ainsi que dans la diaspora. - le parrainage des députés : chaque candidat peut être parrainé par une liste de treize (13) députés de l'assemblée nationale. - le parrainage des élus : chaque candidat peut se faire endosser par 120 maires et présidents de conseils départementaux. Le paiement d'une caution obligatoire, dont le montant était fixé à 30 millions de franc CFA, constitue l'une des conditions pour valider un dossier de candidature. 267 dossiers de parrainage ont été retirés auprès de la Direction générale des élections. Au final, seules 20 candidatures ont été validées au final sur les 93 dossiers déposés au Conseil constitutionnel.
Quels sont les enjeux de cette élection ?Qui va succéder au président Macky Sall et devenir le cinquième président du Sénégal ?Tel est le gros enjeu de cette présidentielle inédite qui verra pour la première fois dans l'histoire politique du Sénégal, un président ne pas être candidat à sa succession. En l'absence du chef de l'Etat sortant mais aussi celle du principal opposant, Ousmane Sonko, l'issue de ce scrutin s'annonce incertaine et offre des perspectives intéressantes. La multitude de candidats est perçue par beaucoup d'observateurs comme une preuve de la diversité de la scène politique sénégalaise et de la vitalité de la démocratie, dans un pays cité en exemple notamment pour ses deux alternances pacifiques. Sur le plan économique et social, le prochain président devra faire face aux immenses défis économiques et sociaux. Le coût de la vie, la question du chômage des jeunes, l’autosuffisance alimentaire, la baisse du loyer, l’accès à des soins de santé, l’éducation, l’approvisionnement en eau potable, la fourniture et le coût de l’électricité restent les préoccupations majeures des Sénégalais. Cette présidentielle se déroulera dans un contexte international troublé et marqué par de nombreuses tensions économiques et géopolitiques, alors que le Sénégal amorce une phase stratégique de son développement avec l'exploitation prochaine des hydrocarbures. Autant de défis et de difficultés auxquels le prochain président et son gouvernement seront confrontés dès leur arrivée au pouvoir.
Quand les résultats seront-ils publiés ?« La mission du juge constitutionnel consiste à garantir le respect de la Constitution, à veiller à l’équilibre des pouvoirs et à leur dévolution démocratique », Mamadou Badio CAMARA, président du Conseil Constitutionnel sénégalaisLors des précédentes élections , les premières tendances issues des urnes étaient connues quelques heures après la clôture du scrutin. Dès la fin des opérations électorales, les procès-verbaux des résultats sont acheminés au niveau de chaque tribunal départemental pour être compilés avant d’être transmis au niveau régional. Selon la loi électorale sénégalaise, chaque région a jusqu'au mardi suivant le jour du scrutin à midi, pour publier ses résultats. Les résultats provisoires sont publiés par la commission électorale au plus tard le vendredi qui suit le scrutin. Après l'annonce des résultats provisoires, les candidats disposent de 72 heures pour faire un recours. Une fois les délais de traitement des recours épuisés, le Conseil constitutionnel proclame ensuite les résultats officiels. Pour gagner dès le premier tour, un candidat doit obtenir plus de 50 % des voix, soit la majorité absolue, Si aucun des candidats n'obtient plus de 50%, un second tour aura lieu dans les deux semaines qui suivent la proclamation des résultats. Le président élu prête officiellement serment devant le Conseil constitutionnel lors d'une cérémonie solennelle publique. https://preview.redd.it/lvyilwzokmpc1.png?width=800&format=png&auto=webp&s=7ee0be81a321634c04db31f6d56f91e406437905 |
2024.03.20 00:20 FaustusCarcius I played from 1999 til about 2003. Reading about the anniversary plus F2P being an option made me download and log in. Had an old-school experience.
I haven't played for a while. Like, 21 years or so. I wasn't a hardcore raider or anything but did Fear a few times and killed Venril Sathir at least once. My old guild broke up around the time SWG and then WoW came out so I drifted away from the game. Still have RL friends I made during that time.
The 25th anniversary hype had me seeking some nostalgia. Came back to the game to try a newbie run from Freeport to Qeynos. Got as far a Kithikor which wasnt too bad, although having to go through the newbie creation zone and running all the way to a PoK book to then PoK back to Freeport was also weird. Guess I didn't really need to roll a human to start in Freeport anymore, but things change. Freeport also seems to have changed since I was last there. Found my old server, which seems to have merged with another, but 4 of my characters were still there including my main a level 60 Cleric. Logged in, gated to Nexus as I was bound there as PoK was still kinda new when I last played. Decided to visit my old hometown of Felwithe where it all began, being a High Elf. Zoned in via the PoK and the wave of nostalgia from seeing the city entrance, even the old midi-file music was playing, was somewhat blown away by the skeleton which one-shotted me right outside the gates.
WTF? Well, EQ always was a hardcore game. At least I hadn't accidentally typed the A key whilst having an NPC targeted without having opened the chat bar.
Maybe it's fitting that my return to the game involveda corpse run two corpse runs, as I died a second time to another skelly on my return before I could cast Revivify on my first corpse. /Who showed no-one else in zone so no help there so didn't bother /shout "has anybody here seen my corpse?" Its funny how much came back to me after I created a /corpse macro and dragged both my bodies to the zone edge where hopefully the Skellies of Doom don't roam.
Finally cast Revivify twice. (I never got my epic, I mean F camping Ragefire for like 3 months...my server had a queue, which made it more civilized but it was still a goddamn epic chore.)
Then I gated back to the Nexus which...seemed a safe place. Googled some crap about lvl 100 skellies in a level 1-9 zone, LOL, it was part of the anniversary event. WELCOME BACK TO EQ...DIE! Why not just have Inny randomly spawn in random zones in the game, or even wake the sleeper an extra time just for lulz?
Anyway: -
random death from exploring - check dying again during corpse run - check doing /who in the zone to find I'm the only one there - check making a /corpse macro - check rezzing myself, twice - check
Full old-school experience.
I googled my fave dungeon Unrest, to make sure it wasn't full of lvl 100 Jack-o-Lanterns these days and it seemed not, so I ran all the way there from Butcherblock. Got as far as Dagnar's before I remembered I had a horse and how to summon it. Jeez those things were expensive, and 3 AAs kinda replaced them. Got lost a couple of times, I used to know that route off by heart. Anyway, Had a wander around, didn't die to anything. Killed the Ghost for old time's sake. It felt kinda lonely, I don't think I've ever seen that zone empty before. Everything was grey, some things still felt like a bit of a threat but not a serious one. Somehow I googled my way to Velk's, so F-it, it's not far from the PoK to there? Still off the Great Divide? Also found out what Mercs are and got one. Holy crap they are good. I had to use an old map to get up past the 3-D maze, couldnt remember the way. I had a scary time when somehow I aggroed two prophets in upper dogs and they kept C-healing each other. Was seriously considering abandoning my tank merc and just gating out, but eventually got one down then the other. Got as far as the tower but my dodgey recollection of the zone meant I left soon after, didn't wanna get summoned by the boss.
Never thought I'd ever type out half of these names ever again. I doubt I'll come back to the game. It died for me really when my guild left, but it was a fun afternoon.
The bard: "Good yarn, sirrah".

2024.03.15 22:16 Narn27 Où un pote découvrit la crise du logement en Bretagne...
Je fais suivre (avec son accord) la mésaventure actuelle d'un pote kinésithérapeute en salariat :
Ce post n'a pas pour but d'être nécessairement constructif mais de livrer un eunième témoignage sur le sujet. Et encore, la personne concernée à plutôt une bonne situation. J'ose pas imaginer quand tu n'as pas de CDI, pas de garants, etc... comment font les gens ? Ils crèvent dans la rue ?
[Il explique qu'il est kiné en centre de rééducation fonctionnel dans le Sud Finistère, en CDI, période d'essai fini à environ 2200 net et il peut avoir plusieurs garants].
Je suis arrivé il y a trois mois sur place et j'ai beau chercher très assidument sur une base quotidienne...je ne trouve pas de logement.
Mais vraiment, sans exagérer : ce n'est pas qu'on refuse de me louer quelque chose pour une raison financière c'est juste...qu'il n'y a rien de disponible, en fait :O. Pourtant on est en basse saison. J'ose même pas imaginer en haute saison.
Pourtant j'ai l'impression de me démener un maximum ! Pour te faire un listing des démarches :
Tous les jours, je consulte LeBonCoin (souvent une perte de temps, entre les brouteurs, les personnes qui proposent des choses mais ne répondent jamais ou ne donnent plus suite après quelques échanges. Du coup, le nombre d'annonces est en réalité trompeur), Se loger (la même que le bon coin mais en pire), les agences du secteur (y a parfois des choses mais à moins d'être réactif dans la minute, ça te passe sous le nez), les groupes WhatsApp de la ville. L'ensemble est paramétrer avec des notifications. Chou blanc pour l'instant. Dès qu'il y a un truc, en 5 minutes ça c'est évaporé (je ne peux pas avoir le nez rivé sur mon portable quand je suis avec un patient, c'est pas correct).
Les agences me disent 'vous devriez faire comme les médecins : si vous pouviez acheter, ce serait plus simple'. Euh ouais, vous êtes marrants...et le quart demandé en apport, vous m'en faites cadeau ? Sans parler d'obtenir un crédit... Et je suis célibataire, je vois bien que ce sera un obstacle.
J'ai demandé aux collègues, fait une annonce dans l'établissement, je le refais de manière régulière. Sans succès pour l'instant. J'en parle à tous mes patients : déontologiquement c'est naze mais bon, certains m'avaient donné quelques tuyaux. Malheureusement à cause d'un manque de réactivité de ma part, ça ne l'a pas fait. Sinon je suis ultra-rôdé : PDF filigranés avec tous les documents exigibles et même plus mais ça ne change rien au problème.
Mon employeur ne peut rien faire (pas réseau ou s'en fout ? Aucune idée).
Les colocs sont pleines aussi et même phénomène : si tu réagis pas dans le quart d'heure, c'est foutu.
J'ai progressivement étendu mes recherches à plus de 50 km autour mais QUE DALLE, même à Quimper. Ça me rend dingue à la longue.
Du coup je dors dans un sac de couchage dans ma camionnette pas aménagée à me geler le cul (vent + pluies quotidiennes), je prends mes douches à la salle de gym et je mange froid (heureusement qu'en tant que salarié, on peut manger chez l'employeur les midis et le soir pour une somme modique).
Les campings sont soit fermés, soit déjà pleins.
Il y a une chose que je me refuse catégoriquement à faire : louer un AirBnB car ce serait contribuer au problème. Aucune envie d'alimenter ces rapaces qui louent un bien 800-1000 balles le mois en basse saison pour dégager leurs locataires en haute saison afin de proposer les mêmes tarifs mais hebdomadaires.
Enfin je suis pas seul dans mon malheur puisqu'un orthophoniste arrivé récemment dans la structure est exactement dans la même situation...
[Du coup, je lui ai suggéré de se regrouper avec plusieurs personnes ayant le même problème et les mêmes affinités pour louer une grosse baraque de richards mais il m'a répondu que c'était pas si simple...]
Des idées ? Parce qu'à part lui dire de démissionner et d'aller postuler ailleurs, je ne vois plus trop quoi lui suggérer :/.

2024.03.13 09:22 3am_doorknob_turn 100+ Mormon sexual abuse coverup cases: LDS church failure to report abuse stories from 20+ US states and 5+ countries since the 1970s. $21.8+ million paid to victims. A survivor said, "When is everyone going to realize that this shit's got to stop?" Maybe when lists like this sound in every ear.
100+ cases where Mormon leaders failed or allegedly failed to tell police or law enforcement about sex abuse. In some cases, the abuse continued for many years.
A survivor who was awarded damages in 1994 said:
"When is everyone going to realize that this shit's got to stop? There are children out there being abused every day."

Name: David Gahan.
Born: May 9, 1962 in Chigwell, Essex.
Nickname at school: Gahany.
First record bought: It was either David Bowie’s ‘Space Oddity’ (when it was re-released in 1972) or something by Slade, ‘Cum On Feel The Noize’ or ‘Gudby T’Jane’, one of those. I never bought any albums when I was that young.
First concert: Probably a punk concert in ’77. We used to go up to Chelmsford Chancellor Hall a lot. It could have been The Damned, The Clash, the Banshees or 999. They all used to play together there. The Damned were my favourite band at that time.
Does pop stardom ever get too much for you to deal with? I think that it does you good to freak out every now and then. I almost did at one point. I was moving house and then I had a bad car accident and at that point I thought, ‘That’s it, it’s over.’ I eventually came through it with a lot of grief and lots of drugs from the doctor.
How did you propose to Jo? We’d been going out for years and I just got up one morning and asked her and she sort of said ‘yeah, alright’. It was that casual.
Would you like to have children? I just think it would throw a whole new perspective on life. Having to bring up a child totally puts aside all the things that were important to you before. Things like being in a band would become secondary.
Is it true you do a lot of fishing? Yes. Stupid hobby, really. You wait five hours to catch a fish, then you catch it, then you throw it back. I really don’t know why I bother.
Do you spend much on your “stage wear”? You wouldn’t believe how much money I spend on clothes. I get soaking wet every night and the leather (of his leather trousers) goes all hard. Five gigs and they’re ruined.
Have you had any interesting dreams recently? Most of my dreams have been about us on the road. Usually everything goes wrong, which isn’t surprising. I’ve only had a couple of sexual dreams and they’re quite good, I must admit.
Why did you call your last LP “Black Celebration”? It’s got nothing to do with black magic like most people seem to think – it’s actually about how most people in life don’t have anything to celebrate. They go to work every day and then go down the pub and drown their sorrows. That’s what it’s about – celebrating the end of another black day. I think it’s tragic that you have to compensate by just getting drunk, though I don’t think there’s anything unnatural about it. After all, we do it all the time!
Did you ever have a rocking horse when you were a child? I never had a rocking horse. I had Action Men, about six of them. And my sister had a Sindy doll. I’d set up my camp in my bedroom and she’d set up her camp in hers and I used to take her out. My Action Man would go around in his jeep and knock on her door and then Sindy would come out in my jeep. We’d play for hours. Sindy had a horse and I had a jeep and a tank – all the he-man stuff. I learnt a lot about girls, chat-up lines like ‘Heeey. I’ll come pick you up later in my tank’. It was much better than Subbuteo – that was a bit stupid. It took hours. I liked action – taking Sindy out. I learnt a lot more from Action Men than I learnt from all of school.
Have you had many weird things thrown at you onstage? Yeah. In America we get everything thrown at us – bras, suspender belts, knickers and even shoes. After one concert we had about 40 shoes on stage and there were no pairs! Imagine all those people hopping home!
Most embarrassing moment: Once, it was at Brighton Jenkinsons, I was thrown out of the dressing room with no clothes on, only my pants, and found myself right in the middle of the gig. I was banging on the door and all these people were asking for my autograph. They let me back in after a while.
What have you got in your pockets? About 60p in change, a front-door key, a hankie and two receipts: one’s for a cheque from Granada TV (£126 for doing Get Set For Summer) which I paid into the bank this morning; the other’s for a copy of Smash Hits bought at WH Smith’s.
What makes you angry? Disorganisation. I hate things when they’re disorganised, whether it’s work or just going out with friends. I like everything to be sorted out. Other than that, ignorant people and a lot of journalists.
Ever feel like moving out of Basildon? I will one day. I want to sort out my life a bit more first – decide what I want to do and where I want to go. Maybe somewhere abroad. I’ve liked a lot of the places we’ve visited: Japan and Thailand particularly.
Whose home phone number would you pay the most for? David Bowie’s, I suppose. I really respect him, have got all his albums and have always followed him. I saw him in Berlin just recently and really enjoyed it.
