Nice Wedding Apology Messages

Vietnam - unionism - strikes

Complementing the article on unionism in the emerging countries, based on the 26th April in this blog, I find it interesting comment on the information coming from Vietnam on the development of strikes in that country.



This could already generate interest, but this is greater if one takes into account that it is a balance published in the official newspaper (although in English) "Vietnam News" of April 21, and expressing views expressed by the Deputy Minister of Labour of the country Phan Minh Huan at a seminar, also an officer, developed the previous day.



"The current labor law does not solve labor disputes," said Mr. Vice. And it provides data and considerations of interest:


After noting that since 1995 there have been 3,000 strikes in the country laws, says that most conflicts end in strikes "not legal" because the workers prefer to avoid the procedure established by law. And this (prominently remembered for the same newspaper) is precisely equal to that for Cuba and China in the aforementioned article: from conflict to mediation and arbitration this (automatic, ie mandatory) if there is no agreement, leaving no room for union activity and to strike it.


But the strikes are given, and the phenomenon spreads because they get victories. And the government tolerates it because it does not compare directly with the employees of private enterprises (mostly in textiles), we were told the official trade union leaders last fall at the time of our visit to the country.


to endorse these criteria we just got the information that this week, on Tuesday, 26 specifically, it has initiated a strike at Vietnam Footwear Stateway Chinese capital of Taiwan, a shoe factory in Haiphong 1.3oo workers demanding higher wages and improvements in the food.

Dentures Turning Black

A SOURCE CODE


("a time machine Ramon?)
Two days ago I went to View Source, Duncan Jones, the director of Moon a film that I liked. This too. Although sometimes seem like a long episode of Fringe or a science fiction version of Groundhog Day, the truth is that source code is a film that offers little long. Little, because we are actually in two spaces: the laboratory and the train, in which case all the action. Always the same with small changes that make progress toward a point where the target ends up being modified. But what caught my attention most was the realization that the subject of this experiment in time and in a parallel reality was Jake Gyllenhaal, the same as ten years ago starred in Donnie Darko, Richard Kelly, another leap in the history of time of parallel universes. What Kelly in the film were a fairy tale with a menacing rabbit and an incomprehensible world in Duncan Jones film is a nightmare sequences trial in 8 minutes. Both have in common, apart from the actor, an interest in escaping the most trite stories Adolescent and military. Them one after another is an exercise I recommend to who can. It is a curious experience to see Donnie Darko and his adult version embodied in Captain Stevens Colter, living a life that does not touch them, that is living beyond death.

Verse For Housewarming Invitation

approach to unionism emerging

This approach to unionism emerging countries, to be published in No. 16 the magazine CCOO Gazette Association, reflection and debate "(" Labor, labor, and democracy ") stems two personal experiences: one, the relationship directly with the unions of some of them, particularly in the defense of labor rights in the chains of multinationals in sectors of the fashion industry and hydrocarbons, and other, which results from the activity the supranational union estructuiras.

unionism in this point three intertwined phenomena: the incidence, already evident, pop democratic Arab world is living and whose echoes have reached distant China, the necessary process of "self-reform" and consciously assumed expressed by the Latin American trade unionism, and the demand for decent working conditions expressed in the claim of a "wage subsistence minimum, "particularly in Southeast Asia.

When most emerging countries, beyond the initial effects of the crisis, an important economic growth, workers are to engage them directly in decisions on the distribution of beneficoios that derive from and are leading to a trade union that raises a part of this requirement.

Fighting for progress in the governance of their work and immediate improvement of living conditions and labor, are helping to change this balance in our world that seemed to have firmly installed and is proving they are not immutable.

Is Mcdonalds Ok If You Have A Stomach Bug

REFLECTIONS


Returning from Terrassa where we celebrated the BASE 2011 in ESCAC, I read the book of Iñaki Gabilondo "The end of an era" (Barrel & Barral, Barcelona 2011), and I found many similarities between what had been said in the lectures of BASE and what the journalist wrote in his last chapter. Change journalism film and is not very far from what commented Mateo Gil, José Luis Félez, Daniel Sánchez Arévalo and Manuel Martín Cuenca, lucid to the structural and conceptual changes posed by new technologies and that pretty much sums up the words of Martin Cuenca. "There are bad times are times of change."
Then Gabilondo reproduce some phrases that seem exemplary and I subscribe fully.
"The situation is more complicated to have some professionals who had begun to build his life with the old parameters and suddenly found violated.
"The business you're looking for eventually finding a valid model that can be erected in the reference. Although it is channeled through new and unknown technologies, reference models will emerge as a necessity of first order, in the context of new business models. My guess is that the myth of the end of the classical period last little while, but the profession will have to be altered completely. It may therefore be right who announce the death of paper-in a traditional sense or periodic model we know. But if there is an element whose survival is guaranteed are the values, true bastions of journalism at any time and support.
"What is dying is a model business that will force the birth of another. But no new business can pull over the reference period.
"For more than a change in the concept of business, people will always require a figure that describes and explains the reality under the criteria of proven quality.
"It took me long to figure that has always been and always will be-minority demand for a certain requirement."

few days later I read an article by Anna Soler-Pont, one of the literary agents active and responsive to the changes that are happening. The article, published in La Vanguardia April 21, was titled "When There is no plan B ". Also there I found many points in common with the debate that is in the air and affects all cultural industries including film, music, books, journalism ..
These are some of his thoughts:
"The moment we live somewhere between so-called traditional industries and technological revolutions, is fascinating.
"There are more questions than answers. And what happens is that Westerners, especially Europeans, we tend to see the world from a very particular perspective. Because in other parts of the world things are going to a faster pace and long ago they know that there is no plan B. In India and China have already begun to close printing and many children will never see a printed textbook. The dimensions of the school population in emerging unthinkable that each student has all his books in print. The physical book will be luxurious, but the content will be available to everyone.
"Ultimately, what matters is that the contents reach the recipient. Moving, to be read. In what format and what format will not matter.
"But what is also important to give the content the value you deserve. Who created if not paid for it? In a world bound to be digital should care for future generations, teens today are already with the laptop in the backpack that digital texts are trained to give value to the content. "

exciting moment we are living. If you think about it, is almost as exciting as the launch of the printing press allowed books to popularize the issue rather than being subject to a privileged few, very exciting time as the introduction of television news and let images reach everywhere. Exciting time we must build and upload content. As Anna says, as he says Iñaki, as saying in the speakers of scarcity: changing the stands, but the creators will remain indispensable. Or, to summarize a phrase of Martin Cuenca talking about the ease of rolling. "Everyone can now produce images. The hard part is making films and not bullshit. "
In that we.

ESC Congress, Chronicles Preatenienses - 2

day told in these pages the next Congress of the Confederation Euroepa Confederation (ETUC), convened in Athens on 16-19 May, with reference to the document for its preparation and work Athenians. Reading and discussion of this paper lead me to the following considerations:





  • is a very comprehensive document which is not easy reading, which probably has no remedy, although it would be desirable that it be incorporated clearly the meaning of debate that takes place in Athens, and that reflected in the final document to be adopted as a resolution for wider dissemination.


  • formal axis of the document is clearly Europe, but little could be seen as "Europe" in the measure which is not the right answer in my opoinión nationalist drift that has occurred with the crisis, not only in the economic policy of many governments, trends not only manifest in public opinion but also in the approaches and union practices, demonstrations and even xenophobic chauvinists to which we must not remain silent. Against this, the face of pressure from the European institutions that pose obvious cuts European social model, there has been no response to trends resistencialistas, asilacionistas and suicidal. Responses required by government proposals based on European union mobilization around common objectives and solidarity of the European working class. On the contents I refer to the documents of our seminar ("European Social Model and the European Trade Unionism") of the Observatory "Unionism in Globalization Foundation May 1 CCOO, are also listed in this blog.



  • precisely why it is striking that while all the chapters begin with "no ...", mobilization none developed to analyze the demonstrations last year in Europe. mobilizations numerous, but scattered in time and in content, of doubtful effectiveness to change European policy. And the surprise is emphasized to ensure there are no looks at all the day action of 29-S, a "European day of action" which resulted in Spain no less than in a general strike called by the CCOO and UGT. No it lays bare the necessary discussion on "European Strike", its contents, forms, ..., overcoming the limitations deriving from certain laws, traditions and inertia, national.



  • not advance in topics touched in the previous Congress in Seville, as the common European rights, among them the European minimum wage issue. Or the "European collective bargaining", beyond the positive "coordination" of collective bargaining in Europe.



  • is very insufficient reference to globalization to the extent that lack of progress in the review and consequences of interdependence between the rights of work in Europe and the world, the need to assume such defense as an interest, solidarity, yes, but also "concerned."



  • From Europe, from the "North", in addressing the global trade union action, we can not fail to stress the special role and responsibility of trade unionism in the matrices of multinational companies projected its entire production and distribution chain. We should not forget that 50% of the world's working class works in these structures.



  • I think, finally, that the Congress should analyze what the document does not address base: the organizational crisis experienced by the ESC in its final stage, with the resignations that have left its Secretariat box, when you need a CES stronger European trade unionism more visibility. Surely this requires addressing another subject that seems taboo, that of the necessary delegation of powers from national labor movements. Clear that this is also required greater democracy, not only in form but also in content, surpassing the reality of "one € uro, one vote" (on the basis of contributions paid) that seems to preside over the decision-making.


From Athens I will publish every day in this blog some notes on the development of the Congress of the European Trade Union Confederation.

Master Batting Chicks




(Elena Trapé, last signature, last conference) Base
Last day of 2011. Morning festivals; later blogs. Chance Workshop makes Chamber Angel Festival coincides with the publication of the list of movies that go to the Cannes Film Festival. And that allows us to speak of conservatism, if not stagnation, the largest festival in the world. The most important but also the most stagnant. The list of directors who will in the Official Section Competition is always. It causes a feeling of déjà vu, of known. And fear, it is not possible that all managers make masterpieces every time they make a movie, but it is possible that each time they make a movie be in Cannes. Sorry, but not enough for me. 15 of those selected are ALWAYS in Cannes and not always with good movies. There are two first works, the share of risk for the festival, indeed minimal. And three unusual names, but discovered in other areas. I'm not saying that is not spectacular to see Lars von Trier (who knows me knows that I am of the top defenders of the Director), Aki Kaurismaki (same), or have the opportunity to see the work of Terrence Malick. Of course that is enviable and inviting. But what disappoints me is not to risk a little more, do not bet a little more, not a little surprised, Dardenne, Almodovar, Allen, Moretti, Sorrentino, Ceylan ... is that no one else in Spain, Italy, in Turkey, Belgium? From this and much more room and also spoke of learning to program, to help the raw operas, understanding debut not only as the first feature film, but the first job, or previous work: shorts, music videos, documentaries ... 2

Afternoon Trapé Elena gave a lecture on the creative process Blog. It was interesting, but above all had a wonderful time. When the director confessed to the moment of revelation of the film: the exact point where suddenly you see that movie you want to do. 3

conclusions of this Base. It's early. But one comes to my head for days. The cinema is not dead, the film is more alive than ever. What is dead is a way of making movies, watch movies and writing movies. I thought of the American directors who began making films in the sixties. They also said the film had died, because the production system of the major studios, with lifetime contracts to directors and actors, with safe work throughout the year, with premieres starry; that cinema was dead. And it was true. But that does not mean that the film did not know finding new ways, from Roger Corman producing low budget movies very young people, to Godard and Truffaut on the other side of the sea out on the streets to shoot with precarious means. From people coming from the television as Sidney Lumet, who has just died and brought fresh ideas and different from life, to young people without fear that with a 16 mm camera filming what they could. If they had believed, so that the movie was dead, would not have done anything. But if they were determined to continue making films as before, either. That is the great lesson of this Base. As said Martin Cuenca. There are bad times are times of change and challenges. And people who studied film touches you take those challenges and make their revolution.
Until next year. Best until next entry.

Letter Of Recommendation Abroad




(Martín Cuenca and the ritual of signing)
Today was a day to think, to stay with a series of ideas and think much about them. Manuel Martín Cuenca, director of The Weakness of the Bolshevik and Half Oscar, is not an easy man to forget. Well, your ideas and challenges spear. On this basis, where the general trend is that of pessimism, of which the future of cinema is very black, in this Base where all participants warn that things have changed and are changing rapidly, listen to the words of Martin Basin suggest that all is not lost. It was a class debate, discussion, controversy. A wealthy class. Obviously, with Martin Cuenca one of the toughest critics of illegal downloading on the Internet, it was clear that this would be an issue. And it was. But not in the sense of "against" or "favor" of the Internet, but in the sense that the Internet is a useful tool to continue making films. That is to say that the Internet is paid. But not telephone operators, not the groups that live to hack, but those who make the products. And why. Because we appreciate the work. If you pay, if only one euro, 50 cents, you value what you buy. If you take it for free, just underrated. And if you pay one euro fifty cents than for which it has not for that lets you use a channel. Or at least that is dealt. Well. Another important thing
. When you finish the film career and when you face your first film, you have no obligation to make a masterpiece. Citizen Kane, there are very few in the history of cinema. Martín Cuenca put a very illustrative example. In an architect's career just is not asked to build the Guggenheim in its first project. What we ask is that the house is okay and if it is pretty great, but nothing else. So why would a filmmaker has to do a work Mestre?. Well
Another thing. Film making is learned. Great obvious, but a reality does not apply all that is needed. You have to stain your hands, as Walter Benjamin said. You have to go through the process, knowing the functions, knowledge sharing and understanding. One must know how to command and to send you tiens to enforce and to earn respect you have to know what you mean. Well.
Another thing. The work has to pay. You have to make the product as you can with the money you have. Do not pretend to make a sci-fi film with a budget of three characters. Make a great film of three characters and above all, everyone pays. You can not exploit the people abusing their enthusiasm. Well
There are three key things for Martin Cuenca at the time of making films: Legal, Character, Talent. All three are equally necessary. When one of the three fails, the product fails.
Finally a note of optimism in a conference that was excited: It is a failure to call to 99 doors that close in your face, is a successful call to one and you open it, look for and appreciate. Do not waste ..
Not bad. I believe that students who attended that class will remember a long time.

(Mateo Gil poster signing at the BASE)
day of sun, heat. Day of directors with experience and different experiences. Production day of lessons. They agreed on the same evening Mateo Gil, Daniel Sánchez Arévalo and José Antonio Felez. Mateo Gil is the example of the director who launched the world without being wrapped, directly to the lions. And famous writer known for his collaborations with Amenábar, Mateo sometimes regrets having led Nobody knows anybody. Eleven years separate the experience of his second, Blackthorn, about to debut. Eleven years, many scripts, many disappointments, many times. And a lot of experience. Matthew knows that despite his 38 years, is a director trained in another time and must make an effort to understand, learn and benefit from new forms of filmmaking, the freedom they offer, but be aware that what Best late. The best of his talk, aparte de disfrutar de anécdotas de sus principios y sobre todo del rodaje en Bolivia de su último trabajo, fue sacar la conclusión de que si sabes aprovechar el tiempo que vives las posibilidades de hacer cine en múltiples formatos es infinita.
Un rato mas tarde el diálogo entre José Antonio Felez, productor y Daniel Sánchez Arévalo director, permitió comprobar como un director que empieza y consigue establecer una complicidad absoluta con su productor, puede construir una carrera sólida y continuada como la suya. Aunque ahí estaba Felez para contar que las cosas han cambiado y que una película como Azuloscurocasinegro, ahora no sería fácil de hacer. La producción de cine en España está changing and no longer can count on funding according to movies. Felez production gave a lesson and despite the pessimism offered solutions to overcome the present moment.
To conclude an entertaining dinner with them at just about the future of humanity and the end of the world. Things film. Tomorrow more

Ar-15 Cleaning Instructions



Hello! As you may know, Easter is close, so let's dedicate this post to talk about it.

Easter is a great Christian holiday on which we commemorate the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus. Veradero This is the meaning of Easter, but nevertheless, sometimes people seem to show little respect for this event so important.

An example is people who go to watch the processions only to spend more time on the street or drinking alcohol, and therefore all they do is hinder the party and show little respect for it. Less serious cases are those of people crossing through the penitents, when step out of the church began to whistle, they are laughing or screaming when the procession passes ...


But all these acts show equally little respect that some people have for this event, so we invite you to live this Easter to enjoy, yet out of respect!

soon!

How To Get Pokemon Roms On Curia

Straub / Huillet


(cover of issue 2 of ARC VOLTA where the article was published Ramon Herreros, notes scattered from a plane: The plane 73 of an Aron Moses, and the second part of the conversation with Straub / Huillet)
Throughout this week has been made in the CCCB of Barcelona, \u200b\u200borganized by Xcèntric in collaboration with the French Institute, days of meetings on film, literature, visual composition or political, from the films of Jean-Claude Rousseau, Jean-Marie Straub / Danièle Huillet, Paulino Viota and Peter Nestler. This made me remember the film Straub and even better the person and his wife Straub Danièle Huillet to which Ramon and I met in 1975 when he and Valentin Gomez made them at his home in Rome a very long interview published in the first two issues of Voltaic Arc, in the summer of 77 the first part, in the autumn of 77 the second. I met again in Locarno in 1984 where they did a new interview shorter. They remembered us, especially Ramon and his article on the plane 73 of Moses und Aron. I saw them several times since at various festivals and knew them by mutual friends to death of Danièle in October 2006. That was a bad year. Joaquin Jorda died in June and a few months after Danièle. Festival in Turin, where a major retrospective Jorda, friends of the couple staged a tribute to his memory. It was very exciting.
All this reminds me of a fact that never ceases to amaze me. Though it has been over thirty years, researchers found that when working in Spain's National Film Mercaders street names remain the reference for the new generations of critics and filmmakers more involved. New figures have emerged, of course (otherwise it would be terrible), but Straub, Garrel, Akerman, Eustache, Rivette, Godard ... are on the minds of the people more restless and his films continue to occupy space in journals and conferences such as this week, or on projects such as web "Straub International, promoted by the magazine Lumière. Continue to enjoy their pictures, knowing that we discovered when just beginning, is one of the satisfactions that gives growing up. It is a privilege to have met them personally and in memory at a time when they were young, broke the rules of most conventional film and nobody paid attention.
(when I speak in plural Ramon Herreros I mean, my husband, who was one of the first, if not the first to write of Straub in Spain)
(for those who are curious, I hang on the other web interview they did in 1984. Those who want to read the ARC VOLTA will be sought in a newspaper library. Someday, maybe, I dedicate it to copy your articles more interesting or throw me a scan to hang on network)

Easter Spring Youth and brands

Hello! We will dedicate this post to talk about spring, and of course the negative consequences it brings.

to all young people, and even the not so young, love the arrival of spring because the weather starts, it starts to make more heat, we can go to the beach more festivals ... All of this is the positive part of the spring, but what about the negative?


We also need to think about the thousands of people with allergies to pollen, dust ... and that with the arrival of spring are emphasized. In Spain alone there are over 6 million people allergic to pollen. Pollution and climate change that these people do have it even harder to get through a spring without problems. Allergy in many people become stronger with the spring due to pollen particles react with others from contamination, and this affects the human body's immune system.

That's it for today, good luck to the allergies this spring!

Clean N Clear Face Wash

THE FUTURE OF LABOR

This title Foundation May 1 CCOO ( http://www.1mayo.ccoo.es/nova/ ) has initiated a seminar, which has echoed starter José Luis López Bulla in his interesting blog that has become an important reference to reflect trade union ( http://lopezbulla.blogspot.com/2011/04/el-futuro-del-sindicalismo.html ). At the first session I could not attend because of work, so I sent in conjunction with the papers under discussion, I reproduce the notes below:

1) I miss a broader reflection on the relationship , and differences between "unionism" and "politics" between union and party, between class and party union claimed that the working class. And I consider it necessary to avoid confusion and, above all, more or less conscious temptations to invade spaces of each other, in both directions. The weakness of leftist political organizations (organizational or proposal) accentuates this problem and continues to be significant that little attention in the three papers given to the parties, even when considering the period in which the PCE was major reference (and political leader) of trade union action.


2) of the hand of the above, I think the union should NOT be directed towards formal "transform society." I think your goal is more basic: to improve the lives and work of the working class as a whole. Only in the action for that purpose inevitably arise (if it is made as targets of class, not lower collective corporate) claims that break the social equilibrium and are therefore transformative. The union is therefore not "transform" society, but his action "transform" society. I also think that this is actually the practice of European labor movements in general, beyond the different labels ("revolutionary" or "reform") and beyond its more or less solemn proclamations of the respective statutes or in some papers on (low) significance for workers who are organized, we represent and mobilize


3) The axis of industrial action must be about collective class interests, summary of the collective interests of the (many and varied) the ability to make and must protect them (not in opposition to them). The development of such collective interests (ie protest platforms) is a key element, and not easy.


4) Such interests, and aims to improve living conditions and work, is what allows the stated objective of unity, unity of action now, not forgetting the goal of organic unity, at least unions who share union strategy (CCOO and UGT today.)


5) being very large the group "interested" in such general interests of class, I think that we should not regard them as interests "mainstream" of society. Differentiating, we will be able to more effectively promote the mobilization (and negotiation and agreement) of the working class. The working class can be "Benchmark" for society, but not "representative."


6) Do not agree with the definition of systems of "real socialism" as "post-capitalist", perhaps "pre ..." (Having regard to their results, not just political, as well as social, ecomnómicos ...). Tampco believe that they can be considered "outside" to capitalism, at least if we analyze the creation and appropriation of surplus value in them.


7) and as a minor issue, I'm not too according to Ramiro statement that "the proposal to convene a Congress CCOO Constitutional ... could not be carried out by the will of UGT, "but this is perhaps a discussion of trade unionism in the" past ", although you might be of interest to recover the failed debate CCOO and PCE on trade unionism in recent years of Franco and the beginning of the transition (on another occasion) because perhaps the merits of that debate are not too far from what we are now discussing, and perhaps some experience can we draw from this particular "debate".

AFRICA IN THE HEART


(Africa in Africa as the heart or heart in a box Ramón)
was just released in a better world, the Oscar-winning film by Susanne Bier. But this film is not what I want to talk. What I want is to use this film to draw a few lines on a subject that interests me: the movies that Europeans are in Africa. That is, the European look of the black continent (or yellow if you look at the desert, or green if we dip into its jungles). And I say European and non-Americans because the American people do when they go to Africa to film is very different from what the Europeans. American film seeks adventure with the nuances it takes between the masterpiece that is Hatari, Howard Hawks, and demagoguery adventurous Zwick's Blood Diamond. The Europeans, however, seek redemption of their colonial bad conscience. No matter what argument: a Danish doctor who believes in nonviolence (for Bier's film), a German physician fascinated by the mysteries of the jungle (the case of sleeping sickness by Ulrich Köhler, one of the titles most interesting sights in Berlin), either the woman lost in the maze who plays Isabelle Huppert in the wonderful film by Claire Denis White Material, (which I hope some day you can see on our screens) or the direct antecedent the foundation of the same Chocolat Claire Denis. All these titles are a common feature: the bad conscience. What's different is how they manage such a bad conscience. In any case, are these lines as the sketch of a possible book that could include a standard film as powerful as lion hunting bow, Jean Rouch, or as aesthetic and The Sheltering Sky, Bertolucci, as hysterical as Cobra green, or as well-intentioned Herzog as The Constant Gardener. There are many and can help us think about our own history, literature (that would be another nice theme from Tarzan or Conrad, to Bruce Chatwin to John Le Carré), art, music ...
