The document discusses EU farm subsidies and who benefits from the €55 billion spent annually. It notes that British dairy exporters have claimed £126 million over two years to export surplus butter and milk powder to developing countries. This undercuts local farmers abroad. While the EU argues it helps farmers, critics say it actually drives others out of business and benefits large exporters. The document calls for more transparency around farm subsidy data and how the money is actually spent.
The quote discusses perfection being achieved through simplification and removing unnecessary elements rather than constant addition. It also mentions that different people have different ideas of what constitutes perfection. The final quote suggests that no one reaches their full potential due to societal constraints on freedom.
This document summarizes the results of a campaign to collect public health ideas in Spain using an online platform called 1001 Ideas. Over 35 people submitted 51 ideas on health, which received over 500 votes. The most popular ideas proposed accessing health records using QR codes and notifying citizens of their healthcare spending. Overall, the campaign generated ideas for specific health problems and general policy measures in a short time period, demonstrating the tool's ability to influence political agendas.
Voting And Representation Systems In Agricultural Cooperativeslegal2
A survey of 1,403 US agricultural cooperatives was conducted in 1995 regarding their voting and representation systems. The key findings were:
1. 93% of direct-membership cooperatives (those with individual farmers as members) used a one-member, one-vote system, while 7% used proportional voting based on patronage.
2. For direct cooperatives, at-large elections of board directors were most common (66%), while geographic districting was used by 23%.
3. Among federated and mixed cooperatives (with other cooperatives and/or individual farmers as members), 27 of 31 federated and 24 of 29 mixed cooperatives used one-member, one-vote.

An Analysis Of The Representation+Of+Democratic+Citizenship+Inlegal2
This document analyzes how three widely used American civics textbooks depict democratic participation. The analysis finds that while the textbooks emphasize the importance of active citizenship, they provide only shallow and unsubstantiated discussions of participation that are undermined by their characterization of democratic institutions. The textbooks define key terms like democracy and citizenship but fail to meaningfully connect participation to institutions. They primarily portray participation as voting and communicating with representatives, without exploring the full range of participatory methods or how participation upholds constitutional democracy. This implicit ambivalence towards participation reflects a limited view of representative democracy.
The Representation of the People Act of 1918 extended the right to vote in parliamentary elections to women over the age of 30 who met minimum property ownership qualifications, either directly or through their husband. It also enabled women to vote in university constituencies if they met education requirements equivalent to those for men. Additionally, the Act allowed women over 30 to vote in local government elections if they met the same qualifications as men or were married to an eligible male voter living at the same residence.
The document discusses implementing web 2.0 in government through recognition, participation, and evangelism. Recognition involves moving from passive taxpayers to active citizens through open data. Participation allows citizens to contribute to public services through tools like Google Transit. Evangelism promotes open standards and increasing digital literacy among government workers and citizens.
The document discusses the ongoing revolution in database technology driven by factors like increasing data volumes, new workloads, and market forces. It provides a history of databases from the pre-relational era to today's relational and post-relational databases. The discussion covers topics around challenges with existing database concepts, the impedance mismatch between databases and applications, and different types of NoSQL databases and database workloads.
Evidence-based and open policy-making approaches have failed to meet expectations due to unrealistic assumptions about their ability to substitute for political decision-making and an overemphasis on data-driven solutions. Both approaches work best when they are integrated and support rather than replace the policy process and roles of policymakers. A more realistic perspective is needed that accounts for the complexity of decision-making and considers the full policy cycle, not just decisions. Evaluation frameworks should also assess how open and evidence-based initiatives impact different stakeholders and whether they truly benefit the public interest.
This document summarizes a conference on Policy Making 2.0. It discusses the challenges of modern policy making, such as dealing with unknown unknowns and distributed governance. It outlines the goals of developing a research roadmap to strengthen the policy making community. The proposed method is open and recursive. The document envisions a third way of policy making that is open, evidence-based, and addresses the full policy cycle from anticipating issues to evaluation. It acknowledges challenges in ensuring technology leads to real policy impacts and cultural changes. Next steps include collaboratively curating examples and continuing discussion through online groups.
El documento presenta las variaciones porcentuales en el índice de respuestas de diferentes universidades chilenas entre 2007 y otro año no especificado. Muestra el nombre de la universidad, la diferencia porcentual en su índice de respuestas, y el valor de dicho índice. Algunas universidades aumentaron su índice y otras lo disminuyeron.
Los tro-tros son vehículos de transporte público en Ghana que a pesar de estar desgastados y a veces ensamblados de piezas de otros vehículos, permiten a los viajeros experimentar miles de aventuras y historias divertidas mientras los llevan de un lugar a otro a lo largo del país.
This document discusses government 2.0, which aims to make government more transparent, efficient and user-oriented through new technologies like blogs, wikis and social networking. It provides examples of government agencies using these tools, like a policy blog by the EU and a wiki created by US intelligence agencies. However, it notes that government 2.0 requires more than just tools - it must leverage drivers like reducing information asymmetries and changing citizen expectations to drive innovation without strict top-down control. The risks of too much transparency and ensuring participation remains balanced are also addressed.

Cuando el autor llegó al orfanato, este disponía de 33 hectáreas de terreno, de las cuales 25 se usaban para cultivo para alimentar a los niños. Sin embargo, los niños trabajaban en promedio 4 horas diarias en la granja y campo sin recibir una buena nutrición. La dirección prefería vender la cosecha para ganancias en lugar de alimentar a los niños. Esto constituía explotación infantil. Varias ONG intentaron luchar contra esto sin éxito debido a influencias. El autor decidió entonces tomar medidas más drá
Graph Based Methods For The Representation And Analysis Of.legal2
The document proposes using task precedence metagraphs (TPMGs) to represent and analyze business workflows, where tasks convert information elements and precedence relationships between tasks are represented. An algorithm called InfAnalysis is presented for analyzing information flow through a workflow represented as a TPMG. Structural verification of TPMGs is also discussed to identify errors like deadlocks that would make a workflow invalid.
El documento presenta una serie de reflexiones sobre la gratitud y la empatía. Enfatiza que a pesar de los problemas personales, otras personas enfrentan dificultades mucho mayores como la pobreza, la enfermedad y la falta de apoyo. Insta al lector a apreciar lo que tiene y a quejarse menos, en lugar de eso debería ayudar a los demás. Finalmente, pide compartir el mensaje para crear más conciencia sobre quienes tienen menos suerte.

El documento describe las telas de África, señalando que son una de las cosas más originales y coloridas de gran parte del continente. Se usan para mil propósitos y tienen diversos dibujos y colores. Además, el documento indica que las telas son una manera fácil de hacer la vida más agradable.
El documento describe las actividades y objetivos de un parque infantil, incluyendo que los niños aprendan español, informática y dibujo. El autor se arrepiente de no haber presionado antes para construir el parque, lo que habría traído alegría a los 120 niños del orfanato durante 10 meses, equivalentes a 100 años de alegría perdida. Se consuela pensando que esos meses fueron necesarios para entender la situación y crear las condiciones para el parque.
El resumen describe cómo, a los pocos meses de comenzar las actividades de tarde en un orfanato, este se llenó de hadas, princesas y reyes de forma mágica, como si fuera por arte de magia, lo que transformó la vida de los niños.
Pocos días después, Ramon llegó con pelotas, camisetas y mucha energía para establecer actividades de tarde. A partir de entonces, todo fue mejor y las actividades de tarde quedaron establecidas.
El resumen es el siguiente:
1) Aunque el narrador veía la necesidad de ofrecer nuevas actividades para niños que no podían asistir a clases de español, no tenía la capacidad de atenderlos a todos al mismo tiempo.
2) Su prima Mercè comenzó a trabajar con los niños.
3) El primer día, los niños crearon figuras de lodo del arroyo, aunque ensuciaron mucho, pero el resultado fue un gran éxito.
El documento describe cómo un profesor encontró una nueva forma de enseñar a los niños en un orfanato en Ghana a través del deporte. Explica que el sistema educativo colonial era inadecuado y que los niños necesitan jugar para aprender. Cuando uno de los niños, Charles, dejó de participar en actividades, el profesor se dio cuenta de que necesitaba un nuevo enfoque. Colocó una red de voleibol, canastas de baloncesto y consiguió balones, lo que les permitió jugar y aprender a través del deporte
La escuela mejoró un poco las condiciones físicas al hacer nuevos pupitres y decorar la fachada, pero el sistema pedagógico subyacente siguió sin cambios.
El documento describe las condiciones de las escuelas en Ghana y critica el sistema educativo que siguen. Señala que lo más importante cada mañana es formar filas y izar la bandera, a pesar de que el himno nacional fue impuesto por los europeos sin considerar las diferentes culturas. También menciona que las aulas se encuentran en mal estado y el sistema pedagógico es deficiente.
Cuando llegué al orfanato, tenía 33 hectáreas de terreno pero ninguna estaba destinada al ocio de los niños. Con la ayuda de una ONG, se logró implementar un menú para los niños y convencer a la dirección de destinar tres parcelas para deportes. Los niños, cansados de cultivar, decidieron plantar césped en los terrenos ganados, aunque parecía que no crecería. Cuando llegó la temporada de lluvias, el césped comenzó a crecer.
El documento habla de un orfanato que tenía una granja con muchos animales de donde obtenían hasta 5,000 huevos por semana, lo que les proveía una buena nutrición a los niños de manera independiente. También menciona que era una gran idea porque los precios de la carne y el pescado eran prohibitivos en ese lugar. Los niños ayudaban en el mantenimiento de la granja y otras tareas.

3. Tam-tam: mai no oblidaré el dia que vam anar d’excursió amb els infants de l’orfenat i per sorpresa meva, en arribar a lloc i obrir-se les portes del bus, en comptes de sortir una pilota van aparèixer un parell de tam-tams!!! Potser ens pensem que dient “tam-tam” ja ho sabem tot: picar una mica i au!, a ballar! Però el món del tam-tam és tan gran i divers com l’Àfrica mateixa: una activitat de grup, de naixement, bateig, casament i mort; d’història, llenguatges i tradicions; de danses, ritmes i cançons; de reunió, festa i comunicació... Tan amb els d’aquí... com amb els del més enllà... Tam-tam = benvinguda. Tam-tam = telèfon. Tam-tam = comunitat. Tam-tam = ballaruca. Tam-tam = comiat!
4. Tam-tam: jamás olvidaré el día que fuimos de excursión con los niños del orfanato y para mi sorpresa, al llegar a destino y abrirse las puertas del bus, en vez de salir un balón ¡¡¡aparecieron un par de tam-tams!!! Quizá nos pensamos que diciendo “tam-tam” ya lo sabemos todo: picar un poquito y ¡ala!, ¡a bailar! Pero el mundo del tam-tam es tan grande y diverso como África misma: una actividad de grupo, de nacimiento, bautizo, boda y muerte; de historia, lenguages y tradiciones; de danzas, ritmos y canciones; de reunión, fiesta y comunicación... Tanto con los de aquí... como con los que están en el más allá... Tam-tam = bienvenida. Tam-tam = teléfono. Tam-tam = comunidad. Tam-tam = bailoteo. Tam-tam = ¡despedida!
5. Tam-tam: I will never forget the day we went for an excursion with the children of the orphanage and I got really surprised, when we arrived at the destiny and the bus opened their doors, instead of rolling a ball, there appeared a pair of tam-tams! Maybe we think that saying “tam-tam” we know everything about it: play and let’s dance! But in fact, the concept of tam-tam is so great and diverse as Africa itself: an activity of comunity, birth, baptism, wedding and death; a sense of history, lenguages and traditions; of dances, rhythms and songs; of meeting, celebration and communication… With those who are around... and those will never come back… Tam-tam = welcome. Tam-tam = telephone. Tam-tam = community. Tam-tam = dancing. Tam-tam = goodbye!
6. Tam-tam : j'oublierai jamais le jour que nous avons allé d'excursion avec les enfants de l'orphelinat et pour mon surprise, en arrivant à destination et ouvrir les portes du bus, au lieu de sortir une balle sont apparu deux tam-tams ! ! ! Il peut-être nous nous pensons qu'en disant « tam-tam » nous les savons déjà tout : jouer un peu et à danser ! Mais le monde du tam-tam est tellement grand et divers comme l’Afrique elle-même : une activité de groupe, de naissance, baptême, mariage et décès ; d’histoire, lenguages et traditions ; de danses, rythmes et chansons ; de réunion, festivité et communication… Avec ceux-lui qui sont là… et avec lesquel qu’ils sont dans le immensité du plus loin… Tam-tam = bienvenue. Tam-tam = téléphone. Tam-tam = communauté. Tam-tam = danser. Tam-tam = au revoire !
