Emirates expects Airbus to give it a clear idea of the general future of the A380 program before it will consider another order for the aircraft.
"I want to know what Airbus will do with the aircraft," Emirates Airline President Tim Clark said on the sidelines of the Paris Air Show. Whatever Airbus decides to do with its struggling widebody "will have major residual value and financial implications for us." While Emirates is interested in principle in ordering more A380s over time, Clark indicated that the changes alone proposed as part of the A380-plus concept will not do the trick. "They need to put the A380s into other airlines," he said,
Clark's comments are the clearest indications yet that Emirates is not willing to support the program alone through additional orders, whatever technical improvements Airbus may suggest. Concerns are mounting that Airbus may ditch the program in the not-too-distant future and Clark is certain that other airlines are not going to change their risk-averse attitude toward large aircraft purchases any time soon. "They are not getting the appetite from others," Clark said.
Emirates is also not fully behind the A380-plus project: Clark does not want to remove the forward staircase from the aircraft, as he regards it as iconic and important for the brand. The removal of the stairs alone would, according to Airbus, free up space for 23 additional seats. Emirates has also voted against an 11-abreast economy section that would allow 20 more seats. Instead, Emirates would be interested in installing winglets as a retrofit on its existing fleet, an option that Airbus currently does not offer.
Emirates has 95 A380s in its fleet, and it is taking five more between now and October. The airline has a total of 142 on firm order, but it does not plan to take any in 2019 and 2020. Clark indicated that any new deal for additional aircraft would have to include the option to upgrade aircraft on order now with some of the A380-plus features.
Emirates pushed Airbus hard to develop the A380neo, which would have included new Rolls-Royce engines developed on the basis of the Trent XWB that currently powers the A350. Clark said Emirates selected the Rolls-Royce Trent 900 in the hope that this would facilitate the launch of the A380neo, while the commercial terms offered by Rolls-Royce and the competing Engine Alliance were very similar.
Separately, Clark said that Emirates will likely add a smaller widebody type to its fleet within the next 5-10 years, either the A350 or the Boeing 787, to reenter thinner medium-haul routes. Emirates canceled an order for 70 A350s in 2014 due to aircraft performance concerns.

Our civil justice system is not always about determining fault.To clarify (and be persnickety), the entire American Justice system incorporates different forums; some are extremely concerned with fault, others may only slightly touch on fault. For example, the criminal justice system is firstly and primarily focused on fault: Did the accused commit the crime? After fault is determined, however, the system then focuses on punishment on the crime, regardless of the extent of fault.
In a divorce, however—fault may never come up. The systems concentrates on allocation of assets & liabilities, as well as assigning custody, parenting time, support, pension rights, etc. In a Worker's compensation action, the concept of "fault" by the employer doesn't exist—the question being whether the person was injured at work, and the extent of their injuries. In a Social security claim, the question is whether the person is disabled. Again, no fault.
In a civil suit for damages, however, determining fault is always an issue. It is the liability leg of the three-legged stool. In the perfect model of what was intended, if the defendant is determined not at fault, then the defendant must never have to pay. Whether it is you, Wal-Mart, whoever.
Obviously we do not have a perfect model—it is in tension with economics. Take the situation of a person falling at your house. Insurance companies are well-aware there is a certain likelihood that person will initiate a suit. (People range along a spectrum from suing at the drop of a hat to people who would never sue.) They are also aware the vast majority of injuries from a slip-and-fall are minor: a cut requiring stitches or a sprained ankle. Therefore, many insurance polices include a provision that the first $1,000 of medical bills will by paid by the insurance.
Certainly the motivating factor is litigation, but this is primarily an economic decision on the part of the insurance company. They understand by the time we weed out those who won't sue, and those who receive $1000 worth of medical treatment, the cost of such payment is far less than refusing to pay anything. Simply an economic decision motivated by our system of litigation.
People are unaware the pervasive and prevailing effect insurance has on litigation. Let me give you two examples, both from Michigan. (And I should note, I am only licensed in Michigan. Each state is different regarding their laws, and you should NEVER assume my advice is applicable to your state. Unless you are in Michigan. *grin*)
The insurance companies lobbied for a law that says your own automobile insurance MUST pay for all medical bills arising out of an automobile accident regardless of fault. Even if you are stupid enough to smash yourself into a tree, and receive a significant head injury requiring years of rehabilitation—the insurance company would have to pay for it.
Why would they agree to such a thing? Because the law also states the insurance company does not have to pay for pain-and-suffering unless your injuries reach a certain level. Simply put, the cost/benefit of agreeing to pay for medical bills instead of pain-and-suffering was so high, the insurance company desired it.
In Michigan, if you are in a car accident—not your fault—and receive a broken arm; you will get your medical bills paid and lost wages and that is it. No "pain and suffering." No million dollar verdict.
Now that the insurance companies have that in place, they are attempting to convince John Q. Public that the costs of paying medical bills for life is driving up automobile insurance, and they are lobbying to reduce that! Clever, really.
The second example is medical malpractice. The insurance companies said they have to charge doctors so much, because of these huge verdicts. Doctors stopped practicing because of insurance costs. What to do? Again, convince John Q. Public that what we need, to protect our doctors, was a "cap" or "limit" on these huge verdicts. Makes sense, right? Insurance rates could go down, doctors can afford to practice, and life returns back to normal. The law passed.
(You could almost HEAR the citizens say, "Take that, you McDonald's-coffee-spillers wanna be. No high verdict in Michigan for ya!")
But think about it. Now, if some doctor or hospital does something terribly wrong, and you are horribly injured for life—you are the person who suffers from this law! Not too long ago there was a mutli-million dollar verdict in favor of the plaintiff. Reduced to $350,000 because of the cap. The ONE person we would want to protect (those hurt the worse) is the ONE person who can no longer recover!
What the insurance company failed to tell the public was that it was the $100,000 cases, the $75,000 cases, all adding up, which continue on. But instead of ever being hit for a big number, the company can hold up the cap as a shield, and not have to pay. Amazing.
Finally, you accurately state that if the cost of defending a case exceeds the amount of damages, it is economically sound to pay the damages. On a single case basis, this is correct, but due to the number of cases defended by an insurance company, or large companies—this does not always work out.
Imagine I was going to sue you, The Barefoot Bum, for making slanderous statements about me on your blog. I wanted $100 for my crushed feelings. You figure out it will cost you $1,000 to defend the matter. Removing principle from the equation—on a solely economic basis you would be wiser to pay me off. Stupid to pay $1,000 to save $100.
Yet there is also the concern (again ignoring principle) that if you pay me $100, all those other bloggers you have written viciously about, will come forward and sue as well. Now you may have 10, or 20 or 100 people all clamoring to come to court. At this point, even on an economic scale, you might consider defending my case and spending the $1000 as a deterrent and precedent to those other possible 10, 20 or 100 potential cases.
If people hear, "DagoodS lost his slander suit against The Barefoot Bum" they will be less inclined to initiate their own.
Using our Wal-Mart situation, regardless of how much Mr. Grubb is requesting, the store may choose to defend it more out of concerns of all the other potential Mr. Grubb's out there. Again, economics has a large impact within our legal system. Ideally, it should be case-by-case basis. Realistically, it is not.
The best example are the cigarette cases. Why the cigarette companies defended them so vigorously. Not because of the one case of one person with lung cancer, in which a settlement may have been feasible. Rather because of all those potential smokers out there, who if one person hit, then there would be another and another and another…
To be honest, it should shock my conscience that Wal-Mart should have to pay for something it did not do wrong. It is not how our system is supposed to work. However, I am equally aware that the Wal-Marts and General Motors and Insurance companies have no conscience. They are lobbying and litigating as hard as they can—not for concern over the consumer—but for their bottom line. They have no intention of "doing the right thing." Wal-Mart is not stepping forward and saying "You know what? In Mr. Grubb's case we didn't do anything wrong. However in Mr. Smith's case we did, and we paid appropriately. In Mrs. Jones' case we are wrong and will pay appropriately."
Nope, they fight them all. McDonald's (as you know) had claim after claim after claim in which a person was burned with hot coffee. When Ms. Liebeck wanted to settle for $20,000 did McDonalds develop a conscience and pay up? Nope—it fought it.
After seeing too many cases to count in such a nature, my conscience has become pretty numb to the Wal-Mart's of the world paying for something they didn't do wrong. They haven't paid on so many in which they DID do something wrong, it is hard to generate up sympathy any more.
DagoodS is a practicing lawyer and the proprietor of the most excellent blog, Thoughts from a Sandwich, and in grave danger of becoming a regular contributor to The Barefoot Bum.

'The Voice' Spoilers: Zayn, Ariana Grande and Sia To Perform On Finale
"The Voice" spoilers for the Season 10 finale on May 24, 2016. Zayn Malik is set to perform "Like I Would" from his debut album "Mind of Mine." Ariana Grande will perform "Into You" from her "Dangerous Woman" album released this week. Sia will sing "Cheap Thrills" from her new album "This Is Acting."
More details in the press release below. I am so excited! I love this show!
Via Press Release:
Two-Hour Live Telecast on Tuesday, May 24 Will Feature Array of Musical Superstars and Crown a New Champion
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. — May 20, 2016 — NBC's two-time Emmy Award-winning music competition series "The Voice" wraps its 10th season on Tuesday, May 24 (9-11 p.m. ET/PT) with a live star-studded blockbuster telecast featuring performances by Ariana Grande, Little Big Town, Blake Shelton, Sia and ZAYN.
Ariana Grande will perform "Into You" from her "Dangerous Woman" album, which was released today. "Dangerous Woman" debuted in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 earning her the distinction of becoming the first artist to debut on the chart with the lead single from her first three albums. Her brand new album "Dangerous Woman" topped the iTunes album charts at #1 in over 60 countries upon release.
Grammy Award-winning country group Little Big Town will perform the original new song "One of Those Days." With albums "Tornado" and "Painkiller," the group has seen massive success with #1 singles "Pontoon," "Tornado," "Day Drinking" and, most recently, the history-making, best-selling country single of 2015, "Girl Crush." Little Big Town has earned more than 50 award show nominations and in the past five years has taken home over 16 awards including multiple Grammy, CMA and ACM awards, as well as an Emmy Award. Little Big Town is currently on the road with Luke Bryan for the "Kill the Lights" Tour.
Blake Shelton will sing "She's Got a Way With Words," a song on Shelton's new album, "If I'm Honest," out today. Shelton has earned the incredible accomplishment of being the coach for four champions over nine completed seasons of "The Voice." Season-seven winner Craig Wayne Boyd follows in the footsteps of past victors Danielle Bradbery, Cassadee Pope and Jermaine Paul.
Shelton's credentials as a country music superstar are impressive and were well-established long before "The Voice" came into his life. He's a five-time CMA Awards Male Vocalist of the Year, the reigning People's Choice Favorite Male Country Artist and recently hosted Nickelodeon's "Kids Choice Awards."
His Country Music Hall of Fame exhibit, "Blake Shelton: Based on a True Story," is located in Nashville and will be open until November. Shelton has earned a host of other awards and nominations, including multiple Grammy nominations as well as six gold and platinum albums.
International icon, five-time Grammy nominee, and multi-platinum selling artist/songwriter/hitmaker Sia will sing "Cheap Thrills" from her new album "This Is Acting," released earlier this year to much critical acclaim. The album debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200 Chart, peaked at #1 on the ITunes chart in over 50 countries, and charted Top 10 in 8 countries worldwide, including #1 in her native Australia and #3 in the UK. Currently, Sia's single "Cheap Thrills" is Top 5 on Spotify globally and is #1 on Shazam's Global Chart for four consecutive weeks.
Sia just announced her North American "Nostalgic for the Present" Tour, her first ever arena tour and return to the road in five years. The 22-city tour kicks off Sept. 29 in Seattle with and includes stops at Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay and two nights at Los Angeles' Hollywood Bowl. More information can be found at www.livenation.com and www.siamusic.net.
ZAYN will perform "Like I Would" from his debut album "Mind of Mine," which was released March 25 to critical acclaim. With the release of "Mind of Mine," ZAYN made history as the first male U.K. solo artist to debut at #1 with their first album on both the U.S. Billboard Top 200 chart and the official U.K. Albums chart. He is also the first U.K. act, solo or otherwise, to debut at #1 on both the U.S. and U.K. charts since 2009. The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart with over 157,000 copies sold, distinguishing ZAYN as the first male U.K. solo artist to achieve a #1 with their first album on this chart. USA Today called the album a "catchy, sexy, and fully modern take on contemporary R&B," and Rolling Stone declared ZAYN's "range and vocals shine, from the clipped phrasing of 'She' to the booming falsetto belt on 'Befour.'"
"The Voice" is a presentation of MGM Television, Talpa Media USA Inc. and Warner Horizon Television. The series was created by John de Mol, who serves as executive producer along with Mark Burnett, Audrey Morrissey, Jay Bienstock, Lee Metzger and Chad Hines.

I haven't the slightest idea how long or short this review will be. Mostly my initial impressions take up a healthy chunk of my reviews. But this is a tad different. I literally had no idea that this movie even existed before it was released in my local cinema. I have since not seen a single trailer or frame of the film. I have no idea why either. I had no idea what kind of movie I was in for. Yeah, I didn't even know what genre this movie was. That's how fresh I went into this.
Also, the reason why this review may be pretty short is because as I'm not familiar with many foreign films, I won't be able to put down any names from either cast and crew as I won't be familiar with anyone's work. It sucks being uncultured swine. So… here we go.
This is my honest opinion of: UN PADRE NO TAN PADRE
Don Servando Villegas (Héctor Bonilla) is about as grumpy as an old man can be. He lives in a retirement home and is absolutely awful to the others and to the help. One day, he takes it too far and beats an orderly with his cane. He is allowed to stay only if he apologizes, to which he refuses, promptly kicking Don Servando out. He reaches out to his youngest son, Francisco (Benny Ibarra), who lives in what Don Servando describes as, a hippie home, which is owned by Francisco's girlfriend, Alma (Jacqueline Bracamontes). Fran brings his father to his home and introduces his son, and the many occupants of the home, none of which he takes to and begins to make life for everyone much harder. But the longer he stays there, he soon learns that there's more to them than the obvious and soon learns to appreciate their chosen lifestyles.
Wow. I didn't expect this movie to be anything good, but wow. I almost don't know what to say about it. But since I can't just end it on that note, I'm going to try. I'm pretty sure this movie's been done before, probably in a thousand better films, but until I think of them or see them, this is kind of a new one for me.
Don Servando is written to be pretty unlikable at first, almost perfectly capturing what an old curmudgeon, self-entitled jerk-off is. Although I don't suspect that any of them would go so far as to beat someone with a cane for following the rules of their own establishment, it still shows just how far off the deep end the man really is. This is only slightly explained in his flashback scene when the audience is shown that he once had a grand total of five children, and a wife. The wife dies at a young age, however, which is a significant blow to the family because while Don Servando is and was a very strict and apathetic man, his wife was very loving and nurturing. The eldest children got married as soon as they could when they grew up, leaving the youngest son, Francisco, alone with their father. He spends most of the movie being very judgmental, clearly in a world that he no longer recognizes, living among homosexual couples, foreigners, his own son not married to his girlfriend, and recreational pot smokers, all of which he shows little patience for. But as the story progresses, there is an arch to his character that shows how he misunderstands these people and learns to not just accept them, but understand, even care for them.
While most of the supporting characters are kind of bland, not so surprising that a few will get short-changed considering how big the cast is, but there's a few that stand out for me. Homero (Octavio Anza) is the pot smoker, but he's got this infectious happy-go-lucky personality that makes him so lovable. At first glance, he's just another pothead, but as the story progresses, you see this really big heart that he has and, while I won't give anything away here, the ultimate tragedy of his character. By far one of the most lovable supports in the entire flick. I also really like Rene (Sergio Mayer Mori), and his interactions with his father Francisco. Here's a kid who is a ridiculously talented artist and his father is very supportive of him. However, there is this wonderfully built-up conflict between them. While Francisco wants him to be free to develop on his own terms, but when he is presented the opportunity to go to college, his father immediately shoots down the idea thinking that they will take away his talent and mold him into something they want, as opposed to who he wants to be. But you see that Rene kind of wants to go and hone his craft, which makes for some pretty compelling drama.
This movie has a little bit of everything. Comedy, drama, and a whole lot of heart that got me choked up once or twice. Are most of the characters stock? Sure. Is the story anything unique? Not really, no. But if you like stories about different generations finding common ground and learning to compromise, then it's not a bad movie to check out. If you're looking for something fresh and original, then I might not recommend it. I may not see myself revisiting this movie, but I liked it.
My honest rating for UN PADRE NO TAN PADRE: 4/5

I dont normally endorse products and have never taken the time to write to a company to commend them but I feel compelled to write to you to tell you how grateful I am for your wheatgerm and lavender baby soap. Its a God-send for my skin which has always suffered from irritation and reaction to pretty much everything I put on it. Your soap is the only product that I have ever been able to confidently use without fear of developing some sort of hideous rash!.

Well Done! I am compelled to try your other products now as Im sure they will be just as wonderful.
I am just loving my goatsmilk and lavender baby soap but who ever said it could only be used on bubbies smells just too good for baby alone.

Following a public consultation last year to garner views from the local community regarding the planned replacement of the existing submarine cable that connects Harris to Scalpay, Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) has amended its plans and is now proposing to place the replacement cable within the Scalpay Bridge.
The submarine cable which connects Harris to Scalpay is nearing the end of its operational life and SSEN has been consulting on how to replace the cable to continue to provide a safe and reliable supply of power to the islands.
A consultation event was held on 29 March in the Harris Hotel, with a good turnout from the local community, with the views of the local community leading to a change in the proposed installation method.
Kirstine Wood, Lead Engagement and Submarine Policy Manager said: "I would like to thank those who have provided feedback throughout the proposal development so far.
"The comments received last year have now been factored into the current design.
"The proposed replacement involves placing the electricity cable into a special duct within the Scalpay Bridge rather than laying it on the seabed.
"I am keen to ensure that we have accurately acted upon the opinion of those living in the area and would encourage the local community and any interested stakeholders to provide any additional comments they may have on what we believe is a responsible and satisfactory proposal."
SSEN is encouraging anyone with an interest in the proposal to provide feedback before making an application for a marine licence, which is required before the cable can be replaced. The consultation closes on 10 May 2017.

A rooftop garden, also called a green roof, utilizes rooftop space for growing plants. There are several possible advantages to rooftop gardening. The gardens can be beneficial to the environment, as well as the specific owner of the rooftop.
Rooftop gardening can help improve the quality of the atmosphere. The plants absorb carbon dioxide in the air and convert it into oxygen, which is released into the air. Since the rooftop plants can absorb some of the excess amounts of carbon dioxide higher up in the air, they can potentially reduce the effects of air pollution.
Another environmental advantage of rooftop gardening can be increased energy conservation. The rooftop plants provide natural insulation to rooftops by reflecting light and heat. The extra insulation can reduce the need for heating or cooling mechanisms, which cuts down on energy use and home utility costs. The insulation from rooftop gardens can also block outdoor noises.
Many large cities experience increased daytime temperatures caused by numerous rooftops. Since urban areas tend to have more buildings, the rooftops absorb heat and light and then radiate it back into the area. This event is referred to as the "heat island effect" and can actually raise the natural temperature averages in those areas. The plants in rooftop gardens can aid in reducing "the heat island effect" by partially absorbing some of the sunlight and providing shade for buildings.
Rooftop gardens may be beneficial in areas which accumulate a great deal of rain. Storm runoff water can especially overflow sewer systems. The plants can absorb some of the rainwater and limit the runoff from excess water. Rooftop gardening, in turn, has the potential to reduce the occurrences of flooding.
Using rooftops to grow plants can free up ground space. This extra space can leave room for growing more agricultural crops. Rooftop gardens can also provide more opportunities for growing fresh produce for populations that have little ground area for crops, which can help reduce food shortages in poor, urban areas.
Rooftop gardening can potentially protect rooftops from damage and deterioration. The lifetime of a rooftop can be shortened due to ultraviolet radiations, severe temperatures or excess winds. Rooftop gardens can form a barrier that protects the roof so homeowners are less likely to have to repair or replace them.
Transplanting gardens to the rooftop can be beneficial gardeners who have bushes, shrubs, or other plants that are prone to attacks from pests and small animals. Moving plants up higher can reduce vermin, as well as prevent the human or animals trampling of delicate plants that can occur on the ground. Rooftop gardens can also add aesthetic value to a home.
Post 3
Another advantage of rooftop gardening: it helps you make friends. I started a small garden on the roof of my apartment building, and one of my neighbors had the same idea. We noticed each other's gardening tools and plants up there, and one weekend I waited around until she showed up. Now we garden together most evenings -- so relaxing and fun! It's great to know that this hobby we love is helping the environment, too.
Post 2
Wow -- I knew that rooftop gardening was good for my own needs, like a space to grow vegetables in the city I live in, but I didn't know my humble little garden was helping improve air quality, reduce flooding and increase the lifetime of my apartment's rooftop. Cool stuff! I'm curious, if you only garden on part of the roof, will the rest of the roof have a shorter "lifetime"?

Janine Elliot takes a listen to the SoundKaos LIBéRATION Loudspeakers that use an open baffle design along with ribbon tweeters in a package costing just over £17,000.
Martin Gateley is Swiss, though he resides in the UK and was born in Jersey. With Swiss mum and Brummy dad he went back to Switzerland (well, who wouldn't) but left for the UK again in his mid-twenties, though hopes to return to Switzerland at some point in the future. An architect by profession with a commendable CV including Systemworks, MDA and Interfair, plus events and exhibition management projects at Kaos Events Ltd, he has since 2009 turned his ears and eyes to making very distinctive speakers, using the full range Enviee drivers from Alman Galm coupled with a ribbon top end.
The Wave 40 was their first offering with 8 inch Enviee full range paper cone and Raal ribbon for the top. Whilst his Swiss Egg shaped Wave 40 and the 42 that replaces it uses special tone wood the LIBéRATION reviewed here liberates the drivers from the limitations of any box at all. In a conventional 'box' a loudspeaker radiates sound in two directions – at the listener and into its box. As Martin Gateley states, "Half goes out, half stays in and this pressure excites the walls of the enclosure. It bounces around like a bunch of billiard balls and attempts to escape through the thin driver diaphragms. Because it arrives at your ears delayed in time, it causes the equivalent of motion blur. That's a slight audible smear and fuzziness often mistaken for warmth". Damping the box with padding of some sort kills or suffocates some of the direct sound too. In the Wave series rather than capture and damp the rear wave of sound, Martin claims the special wood construction he uses dissipates this unwanted wave rapidly and freely. I wrote at length about the technique used by Flare Audio in stopping sound pressure in their headphones and IEMs from affecting and ruining the sound. The Soundkaos LIBéRATION speaker is something completely different to his earlier speakers as he does away totally with any enclosure at all, giving much more clarity to the sound and no pressure or "tightness". The sound is very open, with as much released out from the back as from the front, creating a large sound-space which is very real and easy to listen to, but with great detail and sound positioning from the 14cm ribbon dipoles.
His company, SoundKaos, has a motto stating 'unnecessarily well-made audio', and their new loudspeaker certainly lived up to that title when I received it for review. Beautifully built, though with a weighty price tag of £14,276 + VAT and a physique of over 40Kg each speaker, I was keen to have a play with this duo, though not perhaps lifting them. Both possessed features that instantly lit up my face; open back, large 18" bass-unit, and ribbon top-end. Topped with this, two full-range speakers, meaning there was no 3-4kHz crossover set right in the middle of that all-important and most sensitive listening area of the voice and strings that daunts so many speakers I have listened to and reviewed. This beauty crosses over at 200Hz for the massive Spanish Beyma 18" bass and up at 8500Hz for the Serbian Raal ribbon speaker supplying the top end all the way to 50,000Hz.
In between are the two full frequency 8" Enviee drivers made by Galm Audio in southern Germany, just as in his Wave 40 and latest Wave 42. One is low/mid frequency and the other, with a whizzer cone made of maple, is mid/high. Typical of a number of full-frequency single driver speakers I have heard over the years that 'top end' can sound rather brittle and, as Martin puts it, "shout" at those top frequencies. So, as in common with the Wave series, the mid/high is rolled off with a simple second order filter at around 8.5kHz. The two Enviee drivers have a notch filter at 800 Hz to correct a slight anomaly in the driver, but otherwise they are theoretically running fully open. "Because they operate in free air" Martin explained "we had to stiffen the surround and the spider to keep maximum excursion under control. They also have 28 Ohm voice coils rather than the normal 8 Ohm [as] in the WAVES. This was done to bring them more in line with the RAAL ribbon tweeter". They are also extremely light. "Armin from Galm Audio has some 35 years' experience in driver design and manufacture and the Enviee project has been a bit of a labour of love for him" Martin told me. "It started as a side line 'I want to try this' and was never designed to be a commercial product. It is loosely based on a 1930 driver from Telefunken and he has tried over 100 different membranes until he was satisfied with measurements and sound.
Martin likes to use similar/same components or materials so all three motor drivers are paper coned, and the simple 2nd order crossover is visible from the grilles behind the speakers, each hexagon cabinet connected via a solid wood structure with bi-wire connectors at the rear bottom of this support. For the crossover Martin uses high quality Jantzen capacitors and ribbon/wax inductors he has made. He claims these components are very much responsible for the LIBéRATION's relaxed sound. All in all, the drivers combine to produce impedance between 4 and 6 ohm.
The LIBéRATION is very distinctive in appearance; a bronze fronted robot with two 8" woofer eyes and ribbon nose, looking like a long-lost cousin of the ESL57 or – as a visitor to my house commented – an art deco fire guard. Not that I would be so rude. With wooden edges on the baffles made from 40mm solid spruce tone wood with an edge surround in either solid walnut or maple and oiled with wax, this looks more like a piece of art deco artwork that also sounds good, and something I got to know and love whilst it was a resident in my house. Indeed its distinctive looks raised a few comments from visitors, and being such a thin speaker made giving around 24" free space behind the units was easier than if it were a big box.
This is an exceptionally well made speaker. The distinctive and beautifully crafted wooden feet are coil-sprung stopping that excellent bass-end from being affected by, or affecting contact with, the floor. I am of the Townshend isolation fan club rather than worshipping spikes on the floor, so this was another teacher's tick from me. The removable bronze front and rear mesh covers of the maple/bronze version for review are made from woven bronze wire coated with a clear coat lacquer to protect it, and forming a rigid protective cover for the drivers, cross-over components and wiring. The opening of the mesh is 2.5 x 2.5 mm which gives a transparency of 70%, so it does not influence the sound quality. This means the covers can be left in place during that all-important listening. There is also an anthracite mesh cover version which is coated with an automotive paint, though this version isn't my preferred choice.
Martin works closely with Christien Ellis CEO of CE Electro Acoustics, a UK based consultancy specialising in engineering design of electro acoustical products. He works on the electrical and voicing side of things, a relationship that goes back to the original Wave 40. In that product he felt the full range Enviee needed more 'top-end', so Martin wisely added the ribbon tweeter, something central to all his speakers ever since.
For this review I played a lot of music and from sources including vinyl, reel to reel, CD and digital radio, and using three different amplifiers. The large and open design was perfect for classical music, and my first listening sessions were from my valve 8W Leak Stereo 20 (Soundkaos state their speakers loves tubes). I did find music well known to me on the LIBéRATION not quite right from this amplifier, particularly in the mid band, showing the speaker needs more power to drive it well, so I switched to the 25W Graham Slee Class-Ab solid state Proprius and Magestic DAC/preamp and listening first to live Radio 3 Proms via Virgin digital radio channel 903. The depth and power of sound from Beethoven's Eroica symphony or gentle piano solo recordings that followed just showed how great this speaker was at showing both intricate detail and real authority that I haven't heard from loudspeakers for a while. The company name 'SoundKaos' certainly wasn't living up to his name, just as Schiit Audio and other carefully chosen company names vie to get your attention. Martin laughs when talking about the company name, a name taken from his original events and exhibition company Kaos Events. Whilst the sound was without stress or any sense of there being a box holding back or shaping the sound (indeed the musicians were in my room, and not emanating from boxes, and classical music had never sounded so good from digital radio) it was only when turning to a rock channel that that sound started to get a bit chaotic. It was just not so clear, with the incessant compression and over modulation in the radio broadcast making for Kaos, but I wanted to audition this to see how an open baffle would work in this kind of music environment, something I refer to later in this review. However, sanity returned for the moment and I continued with high-end analogue through amplification provided by Krell/Music First Audio. The Leak and Slee amplifiers I had previously used were low powered and the LIBéRATION worked surprisingly well but I wanted to now listen from higher powered sources, as the LIBéRATION certainly warrants an amplifier of 25W or more. My gorgeous old Krell KAV250A can deliver 500W at 4Ω, so no worries about enough grunt.
I started gently with Pink Floyd's double-LP 'The Division Bell'. The first track, "Cluster 1" wakes up gradually just like the early summer morning as the sun works its way behind the houses to the rear of my garden, hardly any cluster of events. A long 'C' drone with a conversation between piano and guitar for some minutes until it modulates to A minor then D minor and then E minor and back to A again. A cyclic 3-chord phrase that builds up with ride cymbals that play so real that I forget these are speakers and not actual musicians in my room. That is the objective of speaker reviewing, after all, that there shouldn't actually be speakers in the room. All completes with a long happy C-major finale. That should make for happiness from me. The next track "What do you want from me" on this nameless album – no track names at all except on the record spines – is in E-minor, and only then do I hear a slight "shouting" from the sound in the mid-band, something I heard when listening to pop and rock from the Slee amplifiers. The detail is immense from these speakers; acoustic guitars on left and right in the third track "Poles Apart" show just how meticulous these monitors are. I don't normally have to turn Floyd down, but felt the need to here; the speakers are very efficient and the soundstage is enormous so careful listening is vital. I wondered if having just one 8 inch full range would work better, though that would make for a pair of one-eyed robots in my room, and Martin assured me that the two work better. Reduced amplitude for the rest of the album enabled me to highly value these monitors, but that mid band area showed me just why classical music, particularly vocal and instrumental, was the best source for these speakers. In addition to that the ribbon meant cymbals and top frequencies gave the detail and clarity that makes for me dipoles the des res of any speaker design. Coupled with the other drivers working as dipoles, this was a well thought-out ensemble.
Turning to the brilliant Respighi 'Pines of Rome' (New Philharmonia Orchestra under Rafael Frubeck De Burgos, CFP), this is a highly realistic soundscape encompassing different environments of sounds and dynamics; as varied as Rome itself. The third movement is a night piece complete with nightingale bird sounds from a tape. Resphigi when composing this epic work instructed that "a recording of a nightingale be played from the orchestra", though at the time of writing this work only wind-up 78rpm discs were available and no BBC sound effects library, since in 1924 the then company was a mere 2 years old. I have two versions of this LP, my favourite from the Cleveland Orchestra, both epic recordings of an epic work. Turning fittingly to Ravel's 'Ma Mere L'Oye' (The Mother Goose Suite) complete with 'cuckoos' and other beautiful bird noises, this time played by the orchestra, I was able to enjoy some amazing three-dimensionality from a well-loved Pye 'Q-S' 4-channel stereo record. Whilst the Audio Technica AT33sa cartridge is only two-channel, there is certainly a sense of space in this recording which the Liberation speakers pull off well, both front and back of stage, something lacking in many speakers I have listened to, and not just the fact that these ones are all dipoles. With the atmosphere and beautifully written simplicity from the strings and woodwind and glockenspiel I was beginning to love and get to know these unusual shaped three legged visitors to my house. A sense of seamless captivation and understanding of the music from them made me rather sorry to see them leave my house at the end of the review. I could only complete this relationship with possibly my most favourite tunes of all, the Bela Bartok 2 Romanian Dances Op 8a. Dating form 1910, also from this same record, this lovely work is made up from folk songs that Bartok had heard, and marks the start of his interest in folk music. Whilst there are two movements, they contain lots of different themes and emotions. The first movement might have a forthright heartbeat but the personality from string melodies is both human and loving, and rarely heard so well. The high pitched first violin B-minor 'cry for help' is soothed by long chords from the rest of the orchestra. The A-major melody just before the jubilant closure is one of the simplest and most beautiful tunes a composer could ever set on paper, not even Bartok; one that sets me crying whenever I hear it, the LIBéRATION giving a very open sound with clarity from lowest to highest frequencies, nothing sounding hurried or confused . As an encore I played "John Barry – The Collection" a four-disc CD that has some good and bad recording in it, but all are highly spacious and something the LIBéRATION was excellent in separating the instruments, particularly the percussion; which are always key part of John's writing for film. The "Midnight Cowboy" could set me in the Grand Canyon with the grandiose sound from the strings and enchanting mouthorgan solo. The Last Valley offers the snare drum clearly far left of the speakers but vocals and strings mid-stage could sound somewhat confused and almost phased. This is not a good recording and it rarely work well on any speaker, and on the LIBéRATION that slight mid band complexity didn't get separated into its individual instrument and vocal parts as much as I had hoped it would. With everything else though, this was a very clear, fast and stress-less performer.
The LIBéRATION is a breath of fresh air in the loudspeaker marketplace and a product that should be taken very seriously if you are in the process of buying a high-end monitor, providing a very open and large sound-space, but with great detail as to placement of instruments, largely from that Raal ribbon. It does work best on classical music, but once I had positioned it correctly and fed it with well-engineered rock and blues, this little robot was very well mannered and I really was sorry to see it go home to its maker.

I must be quite a relieved man, having spent the last 5 days single handedly (with bare hands) got the prototype site for Project – MIIA Network running. You may want to check this site out: http://malaysiainsurance.info/Project-MIIA Because of this very busy time of the year, I have to burn the midnight oil to complete this task, and as expected things can look abit messy. Also point to note the front-page slider image-show somehow does not work with IE but looks fantastic with Firefox.
We are currently behind time since having targeted 1st October 2009 to be the official launch date of our iPortal. Again we revised it to 1 November but I would like to conclude now, this can only be a reality after Christmas! Nevertheless I am elated with new learning curves having acquired along this challenging time.
So you may be asking me… what is this thing called "The Malaysia internet-Insurance Agency (MIIA) Network"? Well… to put it simply…. this is about reinventing and reconstructing a new but viable eCommerce platform where we can house and further enhance our agents' capabilities in internet marketing and business development. We want to recruit a maximum of 200 agents and transform their business development capabilities not only in "Offline" success but also increased prowess in their online marketing networking. The Project team has targeted a period of 24 months to groom this batch of agents from zero to hero in the internet marketing arena…..For the rest of the "cerita" please refer to the relevant site.
So… if you are currently an agent or an entrepreneur or someone looking for a break into the cyber world success, do not hesitate – just contact us at:
firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com
If you are an expert in WordPress opensource blogging platform and posseses some capabilities in relevant script programming, please…. also write in to us. We should be most happy to talk to you. You may ask, "Why wordpress?" Because it is the second best Content management system (CMS) overall just behind Drupal! And Drupal…. (not sure whether this sounds Indian!), well our agents would most likely ended up screwed pissed….. with their highly sophisticated format.
If you are a blogger, do contact us as well – we are looking for YOU! We have something for you too…..

The Central Committee, in its meeting yesterday and today, continued the preparation work of the XIX Congress of the PCP, and analysed the evolution of the political, economic and social situation of the country and defined the main tasks of the Party aimed at boosting its political initiative and strengthening its organisation.
Regarding the XIX Congress of the PCP, the Central Committee adopted the Draft of the Amendments to the Party's Programme and the Draft of the Theses/Political Resolution, documents that will be published with the September 27 edition of the "Avante!", central organ of the PCP, opening the 3rd preparatory phase of the Congress.
A Congress that – from the assessment it will make of the international situation, the evaluation of capitalism's devastating consequences on humanity, the crusade of exploitation and social and civilizational regression that traverses the world and also the European Union with the process of capitalist integration – affirms socialism as the indispensable alternative to ensure to the workers and the peoples a society free from exploitation.
A Congress where, from its realisation and what it will mean in terms of PCP's affirmation, the workers and the people will find an answer not only to their concerns, but specially a confident affirmation that there is a different course and a different policy. A Congress that points a way that can fulfil the hope of millions of Portuguese for a better life – and which holds in the project, of the Party's Programme, now being updated, of an "Advanced Democracy – the values of April in the future of Portugal", as an integral and constitutive part of the struggle for socialism, a real possibility of materialisation.
A path that is urgent to materialise, when we see the country facing an unbearable deterioration of the economic and social situation, with an increasingly worrying and prolonged economic recession, unemployment, galloping impoverishment of the population and a brutal worsening of the exploitation of labour that are rapidly driving Portugal into disaster.
As the draft of the Theses stresses "The national crisis is, undoubtedly, an intrinsic expression to the development of the relations of capitalist production dominantly imposed on the country, inseparable from the action of successive PS, PSD and CDS governments". A crisis that the main promoters of the right-wing policy invoke, with the materialisation of the Pact of Aggression, to lead to an unprecedented heightening of their offensive against the rights of the workers and the people, of compromising the future of the country and its submission to the interests of big business, national and foreign.
Aware of the devastating effects of its policy that not only did not solve any of the country's major problems, but made them worse, including those they claimed they would solve – the debt and public deficit -, the PSD/CDS-PP government, showing a clear contempt of the already painful living conditions of the Portuguese, has been announcing new measures, which represent a brutal escalation of attack on the incomes of labour and their rights.
Measures that mean new and more substantial cuts in the wages and pensions of the workers of the public and private sector and a higher tax burden on labour; new dismissals and further attack on the rights of the public administration workers; new cuts in unemployment benefits, in social integration income and pensions above 1500 euros and more drastic cuts in the areas of health and education.
Measures to be included in the next Government Budget, which if materialised will drastically reduce the income available to the families, further narrow domestic market, launching thousands of companies into bankruptcy, and increase unemployment and misery,
Measures announced under the cover of a mystifying operation of equitable distribution of sacrifices between labour and capital, but end up by being yet another repulsive cynical farce, where few and merely symbolic measures of tax increase on income from capital, contrast with a brutal extortion of the popular classes and strata.
The PCP alerts to the manoeuvres the government has underway, and to which the Council of the State has given its blessing, which by falling back on the Social Security Tax, aim to maintain the goal of an assault on the wages and incomes of the workers and pensioners and continue the path of the country's decline and regression.
The active and meaningful collaboration of the PS in the manoeuvre undertaken by the government during these past days of replacing the theft of the SST, by another theft of equal meaning to the workers and the people clearly shows the level of commitment and complicity among the underwriters of the Pact of Aggression and objectively reflects an incentive to continue with the implementation of this Pact and the continuation of the policy of national disaster.
In a context where the growing contradictions within the government become visible , inseparable from the deep erosion of its social base of support – particularly with CDS undertaking cynical manoeuvres of distancing and the PS, trying to conceal its heavy responsibilities in the situation we are in, the PCP reaffirms that it is not enough to reject this or that measure of the Pact of Aggression, it is not enough to change this or that minister, repeating manoeuvres of previous governments to save the right-wing policy.
What the situation of the country demands is the urgent rejection of the Pact of Aggression, the rupture with the right-wing policy, a profound change in national life which, with a new government, will assume a patriotic and left-wing policy to answer the aspirations of the workers and the Portuguese people.
As reality shows while the implementation of the Pact of Aggression proceeds, it is clearer that in order to satisfy the interests of big business the government is setting the country under fire and sword.
The scale and violence of the offensive that is underway has aroused a fighting and powerful answer from the workers and popular masses. An answer of struggle that, in these past two months, has been very strong in hundreds of companies against the use by the employers of the changes in labour legislation and a significant expression in the mobilisations around the country on September 15.
It should be stressed that this new phase of the offensive should be met with a new and stronger dynamics of resistance and struggle, where it is indispensable that the outrage and revolt that are becoming widespread should be transformed into an organised and consequent struggle.
Hence, the PCP calls for the development of the struggle in its various forms and in particular the action decided by CGTP-IN «Everybody to Lisbon, everybody to Terreiro do Paço [Square] » on September 29, building a powerful show of strength and confidence of the workers and Portuguese people, and similarly on the «National Day of Struggle», set for October 1st, and the October 5-13 «March against Unemployment».
Actions that are part of a wide process that will continue and will go as far as needed to impose a defeat of this policy and open a new path for Portugal.
The PCP draws attention to the continuation and intensification of the policy of submission of the national interests to the process of the capitalist integration of the European Union.
The insistence on the so-called policies of austerity, the strengthening of supranational mechanisms of decision, the defence of a single currency tailored to the interests of big business, specially German, the imposition of unacceptable ceilings on deficit and debt, is deepening the general framework of stagnation and economic recession, alongside a massive increase in unemployment.
On this issue, the Party's Programme, now updated and under discussion, taking into account the increasing constraints and limitations on national independence and the limits it sets on its sovereign development, reaffirms and strengthens the idea that the "Portuguese people has and should always have the full right to decide on their own fate and choose the paths it believes is more in line with its historical identity and its interests and aspirations".
In the situation we have reached, the solution is not found in repeating the worn-out talk on the so-called "political stability", nor with appeals for "consensus" and the continuation of the programme of foreign interference, as the Council of State did this weekend, but by affirming the demand for a rupture with the policies which, in the name of stability, promote the most violent social and economic instability since the times of fascism.
A rupture that does not mean a reformulation of the Pact of Aggression, but involves the unequivocal and global rejection of the programme of economic and social destruction underway.
A rupture that assumes an alternative policy and puts an end to decades of right-wing policies by successive governments.
The country needs a patriotic and left-wing policy that undertakes an urgent renegotiation of the public debt; decisively bets on national production, improves the living conditions of the Portuguese, raising wages, pensions and retirement pay; ensures a real fiscal justice; recovers the control of the strategic sectors of the economy, namely by nationalizing the banks, and placing them at the service of development and progress; fights exploitation, restores and defends the rights of the workers and guarantees quality public services accessible to the entire population.
In one of the most complex moments of our country's recent history, when so many doubts and worries on the collective future of the country have arisen among the workers and the people, the PCP affirms with full confidence that there is an alternative to this course of disaster. An alternative is not only possible but feasible, not only necessary but also indispensable and urgent. An alternative that is in the hands of each and all who do not resign to those who want to deny them the future to which they are entitled, build with their struggle and also their support to the PCP.
It is time to put an end to this path of disaster. There is enough strength in the workers and the people to defeat this government and this policy. A defeat which has also to be the defeat of the Pact of Aggression, the defeat of the parties of the Troika who support and encourage the foreign Troika within the country, the defeat of the cosmetic manoeuvres that aim to seek an alternance between the parties that have brought the country up to here, false solutions to perpetuate exploitation and injustice.
At this moment when we are planning our XIX Congress we affirm: You can rely on the PCP, an indispensable Party for the solution of the national problems, ready and able to assume all the possibilities the people want to give it.
We call on the hundreds of thousands of people who say "something must be done" to organize together with us the people's counterattack.
The pro-people way out of the crisis must become the people's slogan, which means the struggle to create the pre-conditions for a development path without monopolies, class exploitation, with socialization, central planning and workers'-people's control, with disengagement from the EU and unilateral cancellation of the debt.
The elongation of the memorandum proposed by the government and the negotiation of SYRIZA so that the payment of the debt may be postponed for one or two years or for it to be reduced by an appeal to the international organizations and negotiations, or a return to the drachma, are different versions which will bring new woes for the people, while capital will once again benefit.
The theory of SYRIZA cadres that bankruptcy is a weapon of the weak is equally damaging for the people. In Argentina there was a cessation of payments, the currency was de-linked from the dollar, after years there was a new negotiation and an annulment of a part of the debt, but unemployment and poverty increased despite the capitalist development. In no instance can the people benefit within the framework of the EU and the system: the situation today entails internal devaluation in the eurozone and constant cuts in salaries, pensions, and social spending. The bankruptcy and the exit from the euro will be accompanied by a sharp price increase in the huge influx of imported products, a huge loss in the workers' buying power. And in both instances the common elements are the tax raids and the deep undermining of the existing development potential of the country.
Sections of capital want and will be benefited by Greece's exit from the eurozone, as they will be able to invest with less capital in a country with a devalued currency and salaries at a Bulgarian level.
The choices of the bourgeois class and the EU are inexorable. They want cheap and subdued labour power, now and in the future, the crushing of radical class-oriented labour and people's movement. For this reason we insist that the workers turn their backs on the recipes for the management of the crisis by the government and SYRIZA, that the people must chart a course for their own power and government, which will free them from the crisis and bankruptcy once and for all. The way out of the crisis in favour of the people, for the achievement of the prosperity of the people and society are today fully linked to the demand of disengagement and the unilateral cancellation of the debt, with the people becoming the owners of the wealth they produce.
The government of the people's power will transform the current ownership of the big business groups, of the capitalist businesses, the infrastructure, the means of land, sea and air transportation and the land into people's property.
It will promote productive cooperatives of the small and medium-sized farmers and self-employed and guarantee what is only a dream today for the majority of the people:
- Work for all, eradication of unemployment.
- Food self-sufficiency for all the people.
- Public, free healthcare, welfare for all, abolition of commercial activity in these sectors.
- Education for all. Utilisation of scientific manpower, research and technology.
- Free care of children, the elderly and people with special needs by the state.
- Cheap and good quality housing with electricity, heating and running water
- Sports, culture, holidays for all with organized infrastructure.
It will play a leading role in international economic relations on the basis of the peoples' mutual benefit. With a sovereign and strong people that struggles for its prosperity the country will be able to liberate itself from the imperialist agreements and the NATO, from its involvement in imperialist wars.
The workers' –people's power provided a great deal to the people in the countries where socialism was constructed. It provided solutions to problems which the workers in capitalist countries could only dream about. We draw lessons from the mistakes and the deficiencies that led to the counterrevolution and the overthrow of socialism. The struggle for a new type of power remains necessary and relevant.
Now the people must take their matters into their own hands with generalized social-political struggles. These struggles must unite the working class -both in private and public sector- , the poor farmers, the self-employed, the women, the young people in a single direction and stable alliance.
No sector or group of working people can ward off the relative and absolute destitution by demanding to be excluded from the generalized measures since the attack has a unified character and purpose. On the contrary, the demands of each sector, of each group of working people, of the unemployed and the pensioners can bring results only if they are fought for with appropriate demands and positions and at the same time support the joint nationwide demonstrations. The working people should not accept the struggles of the various sectors to be posed in opposition to each other, the slandering of advanced forms of struggle, of the strikes which are decided on by the working people and respond to the intolerable problems they face.
At this stage the fronts of struggle and resistance in workplaces, in sectors and neighborhoods must become streams that will merge together and strengthen the general demand of the people for a pro-people way out of the crisis with militant mass demonstrations and the corresponding combative forms of struggle. The struggles must be based on the mass participation in the decision making process and in their organization. The struggle requires mass participation, organization and a political direction for rupture with the interests and the choices of the monopolies at a national and European level.
The announcement of the measures of the government that will seize 23, 5 billion dollars from people and is preparing for a new round of measures is the first confrontation of the people after the elections. The new attack must meet the appropriate response in terms of form and mass participation e.g. a general strike which under certain conditions can become a starting point for the escalation and the stable strengthening of the people's struggle.
In this phase the people must prove that they have the courage, that they can liberate themselves from the illusions which are fostered by the political forces that support the participation of Greece in the EU and turn their back on the blackmail and the intimidating dilemmas.
Today there are two paths of development which come in conflict: on the one hand, the path which is determined by the monopolies and their parties and on the other, the path of the struggle of the resolute and unwavering masses that leads to rupture, to the overthrow of the monopolies' power.
There is no way out as long as the working people, the unemployed, the pensioners are influenced by the various formulas for a liberal, socialist or "left" management of the system; as long as fatalism and defeatism prevail, the mistaken perceptions that the people cannot win, cannot wage effective struggles, that the radical change will never take place and belongs to the "Second Coming". The people must not passively wait on the various networks, which are hypocritically called networks of solidarity and charity, which are set up in a planned way so that the people will get used to the idea of managing poverty.
The KKE will take initiatives, at a nationwide, sectoral and local level so as to strengthen the mass class struggle, the people's initiatives and solidarity in the partial fronts of struggle and at the general political level. It calls on the people to support politically as well as through their struggles the initiative of the KKE which tabled a draft law for the abolition of the memoranda, the loan agreements and the anti-people measures as a whole.
The KKE will be at the forefront of the struggles regarding the people's income, collective bargaining agreements, social benefits and pensions, jobs, the rights of the unemployed and their families, public works for social infrastructure and housing programmes, for Education, Healthcare and welfare, against the privatizations, against the mergers of banks that lead to dismissals and reductions in salaries, against the dismissals in public sector, regarding the specific acute problems of the youth and women, the problem of drugs which is on the rise, to ensure medical treatment and medicine for all, for the salvation of the social security funds and the payment of salaries and pensions.
Down with the taxes and the unjust levies. No repossessions and auctions for the indebted families of the popular strata.
The trade unions, the mass organizations, the people's committees must strengthen their solidarity while at the same time they should make demands and adopt militant forms of struggle.
No one should be abandoned to the claws of the tax department and the other state mechanisms, homeless, without food, medicine with their children being driven to malnutrition. No one should be left alone against the repression and the authoritarianism of the state.
The KKE with its proposal for the way out will be at the forefront of all these struggles along with the working people, the unemployed and poor who have gone bankrupt and cannot shoulder new burdens.
We must reverse defeatism with the power of our proposal and by placing trust in the working people. We should contribute decisively so that the immense power of the people will be liberated from the bonds of the intimidating dilemmas, anticommunism, the intimidation and the authoritarianism of the employers and the state.
The consciousness of the people must be liberated so that the correlation of forces changes in favor of the people's interests.
The KKE calls on the workers to take part in the 38th festival, the major event organized by KNE and ODIGITIS, to participate actively in the mobilizations that will take place over the next period throughout the country and in Thessalonica. The members and the friends of the KKE and KNE must be in the frontline of the struggle with a spirit of self sacrifice in order to pave the way for the victorious course of the people.
Athens 29/8/2012
The PB of the CC of the KKE
Here is the CGTP's assessment of the last troika evaluation.
The portrait presented to the country by the PSD-CDS government is a misleading one. It promises the return to growth already in 2013 – while the Bank of Portugal is still forecasting economic stagnation – following serious recession in the current year in which, with the imposition of successive sacrifices, the budgetary deficit will not be attained and public debt will continue to increase.
Despite the fact that interest rates of the debt titles are going down, the interest rates of 10 year obligations are still unacceptably high and subject to the "markets" speculation. Exports have maintained significant growth rates, but with less acceleration in the present year, while imports have fallen, due to lower purchasing power and drop of public and private investment. The message insists on cutting the external deficit, which means alleviating the need of funding the economy, without trying to assess if that is sustainable.
Therefore, a favourable scenario is being portrayed, in the precise moment in which the recession is deepening, unemployment grows yet again and more youngsters are leaving the country. This is serious, not only because it is sowing illusions to try and lead to the acceptance of unfair sacrifices. September is a crucial month not just because there is another evaluation but also because the evaluation must be done in the light of what is being shown by the enforcement of austerity policies in several countries, including in Spain, but also of developments concerning the EU debt crisis. Besides being based on a wrong diagnosis, it is even more serious because the government has completely abdicated from its negotiating capacity.

We received a free DVD for this review. Big Boy thinks I am wonderful.
We love Fireman Sam in our house and Daddy can do a scarily accurate impression of Dilys Price from the amount of it that we watch and play. When the new Fireman Sam DVD "Ready for Action" from Hit arrived Big Boy grabbed the disc and put it on in the den. This was worrying, because I didn't know he knew how to put DVD's on and also because now he knew he could do it himself I was imagining coming back from the toilet to find him watching Fireman Sam yet again.
Now as you can tell this is the new Fireman Sam, (CGI Fireman Sam) and I actually like him a little more than the Fireman Sam that I grew up with. Big Boy watched the episodes (there are five on the DVD) and we sang along with Elvis (he's my favourite character!) and were of course shouting at Naughty Norman Price. The best bit is that because it is only 50minutes long it was perfect for watching whilst we had a cuddle and a snack.
This DVD is great for all fans of Fireman Sam no matter how old they are (I'm 32 thank you very much) and with an RRP of £12.99, and with a U certificate it's suitable for everyone too!
