According to data from the Ministry of Education, the strike, which began on June 3, has since kept some 600,000 students without classes.
Thousands of members of the Chilean Teachers' Association today rejected a proposal from the Government in response to their demands and decided to continue with the national strike that is now entering its fifth week.
Chile: Nationwide Strike Brings Teachers, Mine-Workers Together
In an assembly held on Monday in all communes (municipalities) of the country, with the participation of about 50 thousand teachers, 73.82 percent voted to reject the proposal of the Ministry of Education and continue the strike.
Meanwhile, 24.08 percent favored the option of partially accepting the proposal and delegating to the union leadership the need to continue the dialogue, and only 2.09 voted to return to the classrooms and accept the response given by the ministry
When analyzing the results, the president of the union, Mario Aguilar, said that this vote is a clear signal for the authorities to give an effective response to the demands of the teachers, because several of them, which were very sensitive, were not taken into account by the Ministry of Education.
He pointed out that the mobilizations will continue, and that they will seek the support of their colleagues from private schools as well as other social sectors and unions, "because this is not a cause of the teachers but of the entire Chilean society."
He also called on teachers not to be intimidated and to remain firm in pushing for their demands. The latter seems to be an allusion to the threats of Education Minister Marcela Cubillos, who said yesterday that salaries would not be paid to teachers who continued to strike, while today, President Sebastián Piñera called the strike illegal. and demanded the teachers return to the classroom.
According to data from the Ministry of Education, the strike, which began on June 3, has since kept some 600,000 students without classes.
But with the passing of the weeks the teachers have been gaining more social support and a survey by pollster Cadem published today, reveals that more than 65 percent of the population supports the strike.
Among the important demands that the Government has not accepted include, among others, the recognition of a historical debt existing since the 1990s, and the elimination of the reform in secondary education that seeks to remove the compulsory curriculum to the subjects of History, Physical Education and Arts.

Combined environmental scoping meetings on Lakewood-Tacoma commuter rail and SR-512 park-and-ride lot expansion to be held in late July
In late 2001, Sound Transit's Sounder commuter trains will serve South Tacoma and Lakewood area passengers with convenient, comfortable daily service all the way to Everett using the existing Burlington Northern/Santa Fe railroad line. But first, a comprehensive study of the scope of Sounder's possible environmental impacts will have to be completed including station location alternatives, railroad track improvements and a light maintenance and layover facility.
In addition, the process has been expanded to review impacts of building new parking facilities near or at the SR 512 park-and-ride lot in Lakewood. Sound Transit is encouraging people to attend one of two meetings in late July to help define the scope of the environmental study that needs to be done on the Lakewood to Tacoma commuter rail route and express bus park-and-ride lot alternatives.
|Monday, July 26
5 to 8 p.m.
South Park Community Center
|Tuesday, July 27
5 to 8 p.m.
Pierce Transit Lakewood Training Center
The public comments received from these scoping meetings will help define the issues that will be examined as Sound Transit prepares the environmental impact statement required by state and federal laws. Both meetings will be informal open houses at which those attending may learn more about the proposed alternatives and ask questions of Sound Transit staff. There will be opportunities for the public to present their comments for the record throughout each meeting. Anyone unable to attend may send written comments to:
Perry Weinberg, responsible official, State Environmental Policy Act
Sound Transit
1100 - 2nd Ave., Suite 500
Seattle WA 98101-3423
In addition to the 81-mile Sounder commuter rail line between Lakewood and Everett, Sound Transit is building a 1.6 mile Link light rail line in Tacoma and a 21-mile Link light rail line connecting the cities of SeaTac, Tukwila and Seattle, and Regional Express service that includes at least 18 new limited-stop ST Express regional bus routes and numerous improvements to transit centers, park-and-ride lots and high-occupancy vehicle lanes throughout the region.

Hope desperately that Mark will wake up first and be willing to take both girls downstairs and feed them breakfast so I can sleep for an extra hour. Failing that, hope desperately that Eden sleeps 'til 8. Ok, 7:30. Fine, 7 will suffice. Please please please not 6.
Dammit. 4:30.
Cry. Breastfeed in the desperate hope that she'll go back to sleep. Beg. Fight with a restless 15 month old for an hour and half. Give up at 6.
Go downstairs. Throw blueberries and yogurt at the 15 month old. Contemplate how comfortable the floor might be.
Make coffee.
Plan for something. Play date. Drop-in centre. Library program. Grocery shopping. Anything, anything at all to get out of the house, because you know that staying at home is a recipe for disaster, a recipe for cabin fever, for a bored toddler and a baby that only wants to nurse and snack and throw crayons everywhere all morning. Somehow manage to get said toddler and said baby dressed and torn away from the iPad and boob respectively long enough to get out the door and in the car.
Mornings are easy if we plan something.
Then, home. Lunch, and quiet time and the nap time hustle; the 15 minutes to 2.5 hours in which I try to cram in a workout, clean the breakfast and lunch dishes, tidy the toys, sweep the floors, fold a load of laundry and maybe, if I'm lucky, read or knit or nap or watch a show for 10 measly minutes.
Girls awake again. Snack time and cuddle time. Play time. Painting time, maybe, if the toddler remembers that she asked to paint last night.
4pm. My buckets of patience run out, and I get snappy and unkind, and I just want them off me. So, iPad time. Masha and the Bear, or Word Party or Pocoyo time. And kitchen time for me, dinner to make, a few more dishes to do, another load of laundry to move from the washer to the dryer. On to 5pm and I feel myself fading, but there's still the dinner struggle ahead and then bed time, and then a night of frequent wake-ups and then 4am, or 6am, or 8am and it starts all over again.
One day at a time, one moment at a time; some days good, some days a struggle.

Providing Bicycles For Secondary School Students
The Secondary School Students have to travel over 10 miles to the nearest secondary school. Often this means that they have to rent a hut in the local village and look after themselves, adding to the cost of their education. Duncan, our Coordinator made an appeal to us to see if we could send out bicycles for the students. This would enable the students to live at home and travel to school each day. Over 50 bicycles have been donated and they will be shipped out in September 2017. The students will be able to have their new bicycles for January 2018.

Rand Paul Undergoes Surgery to Remove Part of Lung Damaged in 2017 Assault
Republican Sen. Rand Paul had part of his lung removed over the weekend due to complications from the 2017 assault by his neighbor.
"Unfortunately, I will have to limit my August activities. Part of my lung damaged by the 2017 assault had to be removed by surgery this weekend. The doctors, nurses, & staff at Vanderbilt University Medical Center were great. I should be able to return to the Senate in September," Paul, R-Ky., tweeted early Monday.
The surgery comes after Paul was assaulted by neighbor Rene Boucher in November 2017 while he was mowing his lawn. Paul was tackled from behind and suffered six broken ribs, including three displaced fractures. His recovery was complicated by fluid and blood around the lungs, and pneumonia.
Boucher pleaded guilty in March 2018 to a federal charge of assaulting a member of Congress. He was sentenced in June 2018 to 30 days in federal prison, and was ordered to one year of supervised release, a $10,000 fine and 100 hours of community service. He was also ordered to have no contact with Paul's family.

Sept 2017
Last April (2017) I sent off a Letter of Complaint to the ESB who own the Derrybrien Windfarm over possible impacts of the windfarm on flooding.
This document gives the background of the South Galway flooding situation and queries the impact that the windfarm has had on the mountain hydrology. During construction of this windfarm
- 200 Hectares of forest was clear-felled
- Over 17km of roads were contsrtructed
- 71 turbine bases were constructed
In 2003, the construction of the windfarm during wet weather caused a landslide in Derrybrien and in scrambling for options a plan was put in place to keep water off the mountain – it was called a Robust Drainage Scheme and as over 30 km of drains were dug
Over 30 km of drains were dug within the Windfarm as part of a robust-drainage scheme to stop the landslide from happening
EU Court Ruling
In 2010, The European Commission issued a final warning over breaches of environmental law.
".. the case refers to a Court ruling in July 2008 concerning Ireland's failure to ensure that
work on projects that might require an environmental impact assessment (EIA) does not start before the necessary checks or studies are carried out. The Court found that
- … Ireland's use of a system of retention permission to retrospectively approve such work was contrary to the EIA Directive.
- … there had been a failure to undertake a proper prior impact assessment of a wind farm at Derrybrien, County Galway, which caused a major peat slide. No legislation has been adopted to address the issue of retrospective permission identified in the judgment.
In the Derrybrien case, the Irish authorities agreed to undertake an EIA to look in detail at further potential issues, however, to date none has been made due to delays in proposed new legislation."
When we met with the European Commission Environment in March 2017, they were aware of the open court ruling and were very concerned about the damage being done to human health and the SACs by the flooding. They recommended that we write to and meet with the windfarm owners and highlight our concerns. They EC-Environment – Enforcement officer mentioned that in order to comply with the European Court ruling the EU state will probably have do a retrorespective EIA required with propsed mitigations. Once we highlight other potential impacts these will have to be taken into account in the retrospective analysis.
Meeting with ESB International
Several weeks after issueing the letter of complaint – The SGFRC met with Mr Tom Gill of ESB International for an informal meeting to discuss the complaint. Mr Gill is the key person responsible for Derrybrien Windfarm. It was a cordial meeting and we highlighed our concerns and asked what ESB could do here? Mr Gill stated that if the ESB has caused an impact it would not be found wanting for a solution and that ESB wants to be the 'good neighbour'.
We highlighted that current best practice includes doing hydrology modelling and attenuation. http://www.coillte.ie/media/2017/03/Doughill_Environmental_Report_2017_to_2021.pdf
While this may not be suitable for Slieve Aughty, the science here tells us there is a clear impact from windfarms and that the commnuities in South Galway are potentially still being affected. We indicated that there is now a plan to develop a flood relief solution in South Galway and that ESB should have a part to play in this.
We asked Mr Gill to go back to the experts with his organiszation and ask one question –
Has the windfram development (turbines, drains, roads, Deforestation) had an effect on the hyrdology of the mountain?
If the answer is an honest 'Yes' then can he check with his management to see what can be done about it.
Windfarms as a 'pressure' on our waterways
As many of you may know (and contributed) there was a public consultation on River basin catchment management and one of my recommendations was that we highlight Windfarms as a pressure our our waterways. This is something that can potentailly change the hydrology of an catchment. Hopefully, through that public consultation we have made or organizations aware that this a real pressure. If it is recosnised as such, then our Government need to identfy mitigations (program of measures) that can reduce the impacts so that any windfarm development is required to follow these.
Meeting with Minister Naughten Minister for Communications, Climate Action & Environment
We will be meeting with Minister Naughten within the week and we want to see his position on this matter.
The Minister is in potentially compromising position here. When the EC Environment penalizes the Irish Government for the Derrybrien Windfarm/Landslide fiasco (we suspect in the near/medium term) , it will land into the lap of our environment Minister. And when our Environment Minister seeks out the offending parties, it will be none other then his own department.
Minister Naughton has already been a positive force in flooding relief for South Galway. He was proactive in his assignment of GSI experts to start an indepth hydrology analysis of South Galway (and other areas). He also attended a public meeting in Gort last year, organised by Deputy Anne Rabbitte.
We look forward to some progressive discussions with Minister Naughten in the coming days.

CASE OF ZOON v. THE NETHERLANDS
(Application no. 29202/95)
7 December 2000
This judgment is subject to editorial revision before its reproduction in final form in the official reports of selected judgments and decisions of the Court.
In the case of Zoon v. the Netherlands,
The European Court of Human Rights (Fourth Section), sitting as a Chamber composed of:
Mr G. Ress, President,
Mr A. Pastor Ridruejo,
Mr V. Butkevych,
Mrs N. Vajić,
Mr J. Hedigan,
Mrs W. Thomassen,
Mr M. Pellonpää, judges,
and Mr V. Berger, Section Registrar,
Having deliberated in private on 29 June and 16 November 2000,
Delivers the following judgment, which was adopted on the last-mentioned date:
1. The case was referred to the Court, in accordance with the provisions applicable prior to the entry into force of Protocol No. 11 to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms ("the Convention"), by the European Commission of Human Rights ("the Commission") on 6 March 1999 and by the Netherlands Government ("the Government") on 17 March 1999, within the three-month period laid down by former Articles 32 § 1 and 47 of the Convention. It originated in an application (no. 29202/95) against the Kingdom of the Netherlands lodged with the Commission under former Article 25 by a Netherlands national, Mr Herman Olivier Zoon ("the applicant"), on 16 June 1995. The applicant alleged that he was not provided with a copy of the complete version of a judgment convicting and sentencing him at a time when he had to decide whether to lodge an appeal. In its report of 4 December 1998 (former Article 31 of the Convention) [Note by the Registry. The report is obtainable from the Registry.], the Commission concluded by seventeen votes to seven that there had been a violation of Article 6 §§ 1 and 3 (b).
The Commission's request referred to former Articles 44 and 48 and to the declaration whereby the Netherlands recognised the compulsory jurisdiction of the Court (former Article 46). The object of the request was to obtain a decision as to whether the facts of the case disclosed a breach by the respondent State of its obligations under Article 6 of the Convention.
2. On 31 March 1999 a panel of the Grand Chamber decided that the case should be dealt with by a Chamber constituted within one of the Sections of the Court.
3. Subsequently the application was allocated to the Fourth Section (Rule 52 § 1 of the Rules of Court). Within that Section, the Chamber that would consider the case (Article 27 § 1 of the Convention) was constituted as provided in Rule 26 § 1.
4. The applicant and the Government each filed observations on the merits (Rule 59 § 1).
5. A hearing took place in public in the Human Rights Building, Strasbourg, on 29 June 2000 (Rule 59§ 2).
There appeared before the Court:
(a) for the Government
Ms J. Schukking, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Agent,
Mr J. Struyker Boudier, Ministry of Justice,
Ms L. Ling Ket On, Ministry of Justice, Advisers;
(b) for the applicant
Mr G.H.J. Dolk, advocaat en procureur, Counsel.
The Court heard addresses by Mr Dolk, Ms Schukking and Mr Struyker Boudier, and also their answers to questions put by it in writing beforehand and by some of the judges individually during the hearing.
A. Background to the case
6. The applicant used to work as a general practitioner in Dirksland, the Netherlands.
7. On 9 September 1993 preliminary judicial investigations were initiated into allegations of forgery and fraud perpetrated by the applicant.
8. In the course of these investigations the applicant stated on his own initiative that in March 1993 he had performed euthanasia on, and at the request of, one of his patients. However, he had stated to the municipal coroner (gemeentelijk lijkschouwer) that the patient had died from natural causes.
B. The trial proceedings
9. The applicant was summoned to appear before the Regional Court (Arrondissementsrechtbank) of Rotterdam on the following charges:
(1) principally: murder; alternatively: taking another person's life at that person's request;
(2) in his capacity of physician, falsifying a death certificate as regards the cause of a person's death;
(3) falsifying prescriptions;
(4) forging and presenting prescriptions for the acquisition of an opiate.
10. On 30 August 1994 the applicant lodged an objection (bezwaarschrift) against the summons (dagvaarding) with the Regional Court.
11. Following a hearing in camera on 2 December 1994, the Regional Court dismissed the objection.
12. On 27 April 1995 a public hearing took place before the Regional Court, during which the case was considered on the merits. Both the applicant and his defence counsel, two lawyers from the same law firm in Rotterdam, were present. In their pleadings, counsel for the applicant raised the following points:
(a) the indictment was invalid (it being argued that certain points were not set out in sufficient detail);
(b) the prosecution case was inadmissible (the argument being that the use of far-reaching measures such as a house search and pre-trial detention was excessive and unlawful);
(c) the obligation incumbent on physicians to report cases of euthanasia themselves, thus exposing themselves to the risk of criminal punishment, ran counter to Article 6 of the Convention;
(d) the evidence had been obtained unlawfully;
(e) the prescriptions had only been forged in part, not in their entirety;
(f) the applicant had confessed to euthanasia, which precluded a conviction of the more serious crime of murder;
(g) there was a defence of force majeure in respect of the charges of euthanasia and forging the death certificate;
(h) the applicant had not acted culpably;
(i) in the event of a conviction, no sentence should be imposed as the applicant had suffered enough already as a result of the proceedings (which had destroyed his reputation and his practice) and further punishment would serve no legitimate purpose.
13. On 11 May 1995 the Regional Court gave judgment in public and in the presence of the applicant's defence counsel.
It is a matter of dispute whether the grounds of the judgment were read out in addition to the operative provisions or only the operative provisions. According to the Government, the President of the Regional Court, in accordance with the usual practice, read out the considerations relating to the validity of the summons, the main considerations underlying the dismissal of the defence plea concerning the admissibility of the prosecution, a summary of considerations relating to the evidence, and considerations as to whether the applicant was criminally liable. The applicant submitted, however, that his lawyers only heard the President state that he was acquitted of the principal charge under (1) and of the charge under (4), that the defence in respect of the alternative charge under (1) was rejected, that the applicant was found guilty of the alternative charge under (1) and the charges under (2) and (3), and that the seriousness of these offences warranted a suspended term of imprisonment of six months and a fine of 50,000 Netherlands guilders (NLG).
14. As to a written copy of the judgment, the
Government submitted that they had ascertained that a signed version
of the judgment in abridged form (kop-staart vonnis) was available when judgment was pronounced
11 May 1995 and that it was the policy of the Regional Court of Rotterdam at the relevant time to provide a copy of the judgment in abridged form if this was requested in writing. According to the applicant, however, his lawyers telephoned the Regional Court's registry before the expiry of the period within which an appeal could be filed and were told that no judgment was available. Furthermore, the applicant's lawyers were not aware that the Regional Court had a policy of issuing copies of judgments only upon a request in writing.
15. The applicant did not appeal. The public prosecutor lodged an appeal but withdrew it on 2 June 1995.
C. Content of the judgment in abridged form
16. The judgment in abridged form, a copy of which was submitted by the Government, contains, inter alia, the Regional Court's considerations as to the validity of the summons and as to the admissibility of the prosecution. As regards the latter, the Regional Court rejected the applicant's argument that the prosecution in respect of the charges of murder and euthanasia was inadmissible. It considered that since section 10 of the Act on the Disposal of the Dead (Wet op de Lijkbezorging) had not yet entered into force at the time of the impugned act, there had not existed a legal obligation for the applicant to report the fact that he had committed an offence.
17. The judgment in abridged form further lists those offences of which the Regional Court acquitted the applicant and those of which it found him guilty. In respect of the items of evidence on which the Regional Court based its verdict, the judgment in abridged form only states "P.M.", for pro memoria, meaning that a detailed enumeration of the items of evidence would be produced at a later date, if necessary. The Regional Court proceeded to deal with, and reject, the applicant's subsidiary pleadings to the effect that if the prosecution was admissible, then the evidence had been obtained unlawfully. Subsequently, the Regional Court examined the criminal liability of the applicant and determined the sentence to be imposed on him, rejecting the applicant's claim that he had acted legitimately in a situation of force majeure. The judgment in abridged form concludes with a sentence stating that the judgment was read out in public on 11 May 1995.
18. According to Article 359 § 1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (Wetboek van Strafvordering – "CCP"), a judgment must detail the items of evidence on which a conviction is based. However, since – pursuant to Article 345 § 3 CCP – the court has to deliver the judgment within fourteen days following the closure of the trial, it was not unusual at the relevant time that initially a judgment in abridged form would be drafted in cases where the accused was convicted. Such a judgment did not give an account of the items of evidence on which the conviction was based. A complete version of the judgment was not prepared unless the convicted person or the public prosecutor lodged an appeal against the judgment. In that case the items of evidence were detailed in the judgment and the case file, including the complete judgment, was transmitted to the appellate court.
19. Where a judgment in abridged form was prepared, compliance with Article 365 § 1 CCP, which required that a (full) judgment be signed within forty-eight hours after its delivery by the judges who examined the case, was precluded. However, the judgment in abridged form would be signed in that form and, as soon as this had been done, the accused or his counsel would be able to inspect it, as well as the official records of the hearings, at the registry of the trial court, as was prescribed by Article 365 § 3 CCP for full judgments.
20. It appears that at the relevant time the Regional Court of Rotterdam had a practice of providing the defence with a copy of the judgment in abridged form only if a request was made in writing.
21. According to Article 404 taken in conjunction with Article 408 § 1 (a) CCP, an appeal against a judgment of the regional court had to be lodged with the court of appeal (Gerechtshof) within fourteen days following the day on which the judgment was read out in public. Once lodged, the appeal could be withdrawn by the person who instigated it, at the latest just prior to the start of the hearing on appeal (Article 453 § 1 CCP).
22. The Supreme Court (Hoge Raad) has held that an appeal filed outside the fourteen-day period is inadmissible even if the accused or his counsel have, through no fault of their own, been unable to inspect the judgment of the regional court within the fourteen-day period (judgment of 11 November 1986, Nederlandse Jurisprudentie (NJ) 1987, no. 568).
23. When the court of appeal examines the case,
it should have before it a complete version of the judgment of the lower
court. If this is not the case, the judgment is null and void and should
be quashed (vernietigd) by the court of appeal on formal grounds pursuant
to Article 359 §§ 1 and
10 CCP. However, this does not mean that the court of appeal must refer the case back to the regional court: Article 423 § 2 CCP provides that a case should be referred back to a regional court only if the judgment is quashed and the regional court has not decided on the merits of the case. This provision thus embodies the principle of the right to be tried at two levels by courts competent to examine the facts.
24. The proceedings before the court of appeal offer a full new hearing since most of the provisions of the CCP which apply to the proceedings before the lower court also apply on appeal (Article 415 CCP). The accused who has lodged the appeal may at his discretion submit his objections and possible additional objections in writing, both before and during the hearing. He may also submit additional objections orally in the course of the hearing until the formal closure of the appeal court's examination (Articles 416 and 311 §§ 1 and 4 CCP).
25. In a case which led to a judgment of the Supreme
Court on
17 September 1990, the accused complained before the court of appeal that the judgment of the first-instance court did not detail the items of evidence. The court of appeal subsequently quashed the judgment because the items of evidence were not detailed but it did not refer the case back to the regional court, since the latter court had already decided on the merits of the case (see paragraph 23 above). In cassation the applicant invoked
Article 6 § 3 of the Convention.
The Advocate-General (Advocaat-Generaal) at the Supreme Court submitted an advisory opinion (conclusie) to the effect that the fact that the judgment of the first-instance court had not detailed the items of evidence did not prevent the accused from conducting his defence on appeal since, firstly, an accused does not have to defend himself against the judgment by which he was convicted but against the accusation levelled against him by the public prosecution department; and secondly, the court of appeal examines the case independently on the basis of the trial and the summons and not on the basis of the judgment of the first-instance court. The Supreme Court eventually dismissed the appeal and, for its reasoning, referred to the advisory opinion of the Advocate-General (NJ 1991, no. 12).
26. When only the accused has filed an appeal, the court of appeal may impose a sentence heavier than that imposed at first instance if that decision is reached unanimously (Article 424 § 2 CCP). Unanimity is not required if the public prosecutor has also filed an appeal. If it is found that the public prosecutor has filed an appeal with the sole aim of preventing the unanimity requirement in Article 424 § 2 from applying, his appeal may be declared inadmissible (see the judgments of the Supreme Court of 22 June 1982, NJ 1983, no. 73, and 29 March 1983, NJ 1983, no. 482).
27. The practice described in paragraph 18 above
was subsequently codified in Articles 138b and 365a CCP, which entered
into force on
1 November 1996, after the events complained of. If no appeal is lodged, a complete judgment will be made available upon request of the prosecutor or the accused or his lawyer within three months after delivery of the judgment, unless this request is devoid of reasonable interest (Article 365c §§ 1 and 2 CCP, which also entered into force on 1 November 1996).
I. scope of the case before the court
28. The applicant, in his memorial, complained of what he considered a disproportionate and unnecessary use of coercive measures in the course of the criminal investigation, such as pre-trial custody and a search of his house, and of the damage to his reputation caused by press releases issued by the public prosecutor about his case.
29. The Commission, in its decision of 14 January 1998, declared admissible only "the applicant's complaint that he had not been provided with a copy of the complete judgment of the Regional Court at the time he had to decide whether to lodge an appeal". The scope of the case before the Court being defined by the Commission's decision on admissibility, the Court cannot consider the complaint mentioned in paragraph 28 above (see, among many other authorities, the Reinhardt and Slimane-Kaïd v. France judgment of 31 March 1998, Reports of Judgments and Decisions 1998-II, p. 659, § 88).
II. ALLEGED VIOLATION OF ARTICLE 6 §§ 1 and 3 (b) OF THE CONVENTION
30. The applicant complained that he did not have available a copy of the complete written judgment of the first-instance court at the time when he had to decide whether or not to lodge an appeal. He alleged a violation of Article 6 §§ 1 and 3 (b) of the Convention. The relevant parts provide as follows:
"1. In the determination of ... any criminal charge against him, everyone is entitled to a fair and public hearing ... Judgment shall be pronounced publicly ...
3. Everyone charged with a criminal offence has the following minimum rights:
(b) to have adequate time and facilities for the preparation of his defence;
The Commission, in its report of 4 December 1998, agreed with the applicant that there had been a violation of Article 6 §§ 1 and 3 (b) of the Convention. The Government disputed this.
31. As the requirements of Article 6 § 3 are
to be seen as particular aspects of the right to a fair trial guaranteed
by Article 6 § 1, the Court will examine the applicant's complaint
under Article 6 §§ 1 and 3 (b) taken together (see, among other authorities,
the Vacher v. France judgment of
17 December 1996, Reports 1996-VI, p. 2147, § 22).
A. Availability of a copy of the written judgment at the time when the applicant had to decide whether to appeal
32. The applicant alleged that he did not have available a copy of either the complete written judgment or the judgment in its abridged form before the expiry of the time-limit for lodging an appeal. He was not provided with one at the time when judgment was pronounced. After delivery of the judgment his counsel had asked for a copy but had been met with a refusal at the registry of the Regional Court of Rotterdam.
33. In so far as it was alleged by the Government that the Regional Court of Rotterdam operated a policy of not providing copies of judgments in writing unless a written request to that effect was received, the applicant alleged that his counsel had been unaware of any such policy; moreover, even assuming that such a policy existed, it had never been made public, so that the members of the Rotterdam Bar could not reasonably be expected to know of it.
The applicant and his counsel had thus been denied the opportunity to take proper cognisance of the grounds on which the judgment of the Regional Court was based, and consequently to make an informed assessment of the possible outcome of an appeal.
34. Moreover, the grounds of the judgment of the Regional Court had not been read out in public at the time of delivery. In any event, even if they had been, this would not have been a proper substitute for a written copy, which the defence would have been in a position to study at leisure.
35. According to the Government, the President of the Regional Court read out the court's considerations as to the validity of the summons, the main considerations underlying the dismissal of the defence plea concerning the admissibility of the prosecution case, a summary of the considerations relating to the evidence, and considerations as to whether the applicant was criminally liable. Moreover, it was stated in the judgment itself that it was read out in public on 11 May 1995.
36. The Court notes that the question of the extent to which the Regional Court's judgment was read out in public in the presence of the defence remains a matter of dispute. However, it is not contested that the operative part of the judgment was read out in public in the presence of the applicant's defence counsel.
37. The Government stated that the judgment in abridged form was available for inspection at the registry of the Regional Court after its delivery, and that – in accordance with the policy operated by the Regional Court of Rotterdam – a copy would have been made available to the defence, had they so requested in writing. It is not in dispute that, for whatever reason, the applicant and his counsel never made such a request.
Whether or not the applicant's counsel were aware of the said policy, the fact remains that it is not disputed that the judgment in abridged form was available for inspection forty-eight hours after delivery.
38. The Court must therefore conclude that, apart from the fact that the applicant was aware of the operative part of the judgment, it would also have been possible for him and his counsel to take cognisance of the text of the judgment in abridged form well before the expiry of the fourteen-day time-limit for lodging an appeal, so that they would have had sufficient time to file an appeal. The fact that they failed to do so cannot be imputed to the respondent State.
B. The judgment in abridged form
39. The applicant complained that the judgment in abridged form contained insufficient information to enable him to make an informed decision as to whether or not to appeal. The evidence relied on by the Regional Court to ground the conviction had been omitted. The only way for him to obtain a copy of the fully reasoned judgment would have been to lodge an appeal, which would have exposed him to the possibility that the Court of Appeal might impose a heavier sentence.
Had he appealed for the sole purpose of obtaining a copy of the fully reasoned judgment with the intention of possibly withdrawing his appeal after making an informed assessment of his chances, he would still have run the risk that the prosecution might also have appealed. The prosecution might then have maintained the appeal, which would have meant that the case would have gone for hearing before the court of appeal. This would quite likely have resulted in the imposition of a heavier sentence.
It was, in the applicant's submission, contrary to Article 6 §§ 1 and 3 (b) to force him to run such a risk simply in order to obtain the fully reasoned version of the judgment.
40. The Government explained the reasons which had led to the practice of giving judgment in abridged form initially and providing an elaborated version only if an appeal was lodged. In the Netherlands, it was provided that judgment had to be given no later than fourteen days after the close of the trial. However, in most cases it was not feasible for the courts to produce a complete judgment within that time. A compromise was therefore necessary between the requirements of judicial expedition and those of procedural fairness. Such a solution had the additional advantage of leaving the accused in uncertainty for no longer than a fortnight.
41. Moreover, in the applicant's case, the judgment in abridged form had contained sufficient information. The facts of the case had not been in dispute. There could have been no uncertainty as to the factual grounds on which the applicant's conviction was based. The applicant's defences had been of a legal nature. The Regional Court's findings in relation to these defences, as well as its considerations relating to the determination of the sentence, were clearly stated in the judgment in abridged form.
42. Notwithstanding the fact that an appeal must be lodged within fourteen days of the oral delivery of the judgment, grounds for appeal may be submitted up to the time of the appeal hearing. Therefore, the Government argued, if the applicant had lodged an appeal, the complete judgment would have been made available in time to enable him to present supplementary grounds of appeal.
43. It could not be said either that the applicant would have incurred any special risk by lodging an appeal. The prosecution had an autonomous competence to appeal, regardless of any action taken by the accused. In general, it avoided doing so for reasons of procedural economy; however, if the accused appealed, these reasons ceased to apply. Should the accused withdraw his appeal, the prosecution would have to decide whether to maintain its own; its decision, whichever way it went, would be based on reasonable grounds relating to the merits of the case.
44. Finally, if the appeal went ahead there would be a complete rehearing. It was inherent in such proceedings that the court of appeal would form its own views of the case and in appropriate cases might impose a heavier sentence.
45. The Court is not called upon to express a general view on the practice followed in the Netherlands with regard to judgments in abridged form. It will confine itself to the facts of the case before it.
46. The applicant's defences concerned the validity of the summons, the admissibility of the prosecution case, the lawfulness of the way in which evidence had been obtained, the qualification in law of the acts charged and mitigating circumstances (see paragraph 12 above). These issues were addressed in the judgment in its abridged form (see paragraphs 16-17 above). The applicant does not deny this.
47. It is true that the items of evidence on which the actual conviction was based are not enumerated in the judgment. However, the applicant never denied having committed the acts charged and never challenged the evidence against him as such. Moreover, the applicant has not claimed, nor does it appear, that his conviction was based on evidence that was neither contained in the case file nor presented at the hearing of the Regional Court.
48. It is further noted that in Netherlands criminal procedure an appeal is not directed against the judgment of the first-instance court but against the charge brought against the accused. An appeal procedure thus involves a completely new establishment of the facts and a reassessment of the applicable law. It follows, in the Court's opinion, that the applicant and his counsel would have been able to make an informed assessment of the possible outcome of any appeal in the light of the judgment in abridged form and of the evidence contained in the case file.
49. The Court accepts that the prosecution's entitlement to lodge and maintain an appeal is an autonomous one, in no way dependent on whether the defence lodges an appeal. That being so, the possibility that the prosecution might follow suit if the defence appealed cannot be of decisive importance.
50. In the circumstances of the present case, therefore, it cannot be said that the applicant's defence rights were unduly affected by the absence of a complete judgment or by the absence from the judgment in abridged form of a detailed enumeration of the items of evidence relied on to ground his conviction.
51. Accordingly, there has been no violation of Article 6 § 1 of the Convention taken in conjunction with Article 6 § 3 (b).
Holds that there has been no violation of Article 6 § 1 of the Convention taken in conjunction with Article 6 § 3 (b).
Done in English, and notified in writing on 7 December 2000, pursuant to Rule 77 §§ 2 and 3 of the Rules of Court.

Canadian singer and songwriter, Justin Bieber has revealed that he will not go to church because Christians leave very bad taste in people, although his love for Jesus is deep.
Speaking recently with Complex Magazine, the 21-year-old acknowledged that he has Christian friends who are cool, but Christians are 'overly pushy with every subject, overly churchy, too religious.'
According to Bieber, "I do not have to attend church services to be a Christian. Christians leave such a bad taste in people's mouths, even myself.
"I was like, I'm not gonna go to church. I had these church friends and I was like, you guys are cool, I like you guys, but I'm not going to church.
"Then it was the same thing of, just because you went to a weird church before doesn't mean that this is weird. It doesn't make you a Christian just by going to church.
"I think that going to church is fellowship, it's relationship, it's what we're here on earth to do, to have this connection that you feel there's no insecurities. I think that's where we need to be. Like I said, you don't need to go to church to be a Christian.
"If you go to Taco Bell, that doesn't make you a taco," he added comically.

TAMARAC -- Like hungry wolves, the 18 members of Susan Fisher's "Superstars" descended on the platter of ripe watermelon.
Eighteen pairs of cheeks buried themselves into a wedge of juicy fruit, emerging with appropriately stained faces and -- most important -- a mouthful of ammunition.
Their task? To propel a black watermelon seed farther than anyone else, for no other reason than the simple, childish fun of it.
The Superstars were among more than 200 3-, 4- and 5-year-old day campers at Tamarac's Jewish Community Center, 9105 NW 51st St., who took part in a July Fourth celebration featuring the watermelon-seed-spitting contest.
What the Superstars lacked in skill, they made up for in enthusiasm. Amid the massive gasps of air and the tremendous displays of sputtering and splattering, the children often failed to send the seeds any farther than their own chins.
"Mine won't shoot because my mouth is too small," one camper reasoned.
Although the counselors attempted to instill a spirit of serious competition in their youthful warriors, the resulting uncontrolled crossfire of black seeds was too much to overcome.
"It's hard to get them to listen all the time, especially when they're hungry," Superstars' leader Fisher admitted.
After applying such effort to the task, another camper wasn't satisfied. He had already mastered the spirit of competition.
"What do we win," he asked, as the tots went back inside. "What do you mean we don't win anything? Why'd we do this?"

It appears that aligning yourself with President Obama is no longer in fashion when it comes to being a Democrat in West Virginia.
Advertisement - story continues below
According to an article on the Blue Field Daily Telegraph, West Virginia Democrats are distancing themselves from President Obama while some have jumped ship to the Republicans:
CHARLESTON (AP) — As Republicans rally for more control in West Virginia's long-time Democratic Legislature, a few Democrats have jumped ship to the GOP and are challenging former colleagues in midterm races.
Republicans face their biggest election opportunity in decades in the House of Delegates, where a four-seat swing would put them in power for the first time in 85 years. The GOP thinks its strategy for federal races translates at the state level: tie state Democrats to President Barack Obama, who lost badly and remains unpopular with West Virginians for policies on coal, social issues and gun rights.
West Virginia Democrats say they don't align with Washington, D.C., and have their own conservative Democrat brand — one that includes chiding Obama on coal, like proposed coal-fired plant emission standards.
The GOP's most notable convert is state Sen. Evan Jenkins, who ditched the Democrats to run against 19th-term Democratic U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall. In statehouse bids, at least three other ex-Democrats are following Jenkins' lead.

A soulful singer, exceptional fingerpicking guitarist and eclectic songwriter, EMay is most frequently compared to Alanis Morisette, Grace Potter, Joni Mitchell or Janis Joplin, and is poised to sit in the upper echelon of female singer-songwriters.
EMay's most recent album, Let Out Your Ghosts, was produced by multiple Grammy-award winner Jimmy Hoyson and features 10-tracks of alternative folk-rock from the greats who invented the genre: guitarist Marc Ford (The Black Crowes, Marc Ford & The Neptune Blues Club, The Magpie Salute) keyboardist Rami Jaffee (Foo Fighters, The Wallflowers), percussionist Michael Jerome (Better Than Ezra, The Toadies) and bassist Taras Prodaniuk (Richard Thompson, Merle Haggard, Lucinda Williams).
EMay's songs reflect her life. She sings of the wildness of nature – both the great outdoors and the vast wilderness in a human heart. She writes about human potential, overcoming great struggles and our fragile but indelible connection to the web of life.
She currently fronts The Soundmen, a rock band comprised of four sound engineers, and B&E, an acoustic duo with her sweetheart. She frequently collaborates to create unique and often genre-bending performances. She has recorded and performed with doom-metal group Black Yo)))ga Meditation Ensemble, Turkish Folk project Kirik Hava, acoustic trio Between Liberties, party rock band The Sectionals and as a session musician.
EMay has independently released six CDs since 2011. She has opened for 10,000 Maniacs, Rusted Root, Dar Williams, Loudon Wainwright III, The Black Lilies, and has performed at TedX, Stanford, The Purple Fiddle and many more. She has studied with Alanis Morisette, Jorma Kaukonnen, Zoe Jakes, Anne Randolph and loves learning something new from everyone she comes across.
After growing up in the Boston suburbs and spending many years in Pittsburgh, EMay now lives at Healthberry Farm in the rural mountains of West Virginia, where she is a beekeeper and grows most of her own food. At this serene utopia, she creates opportunities for artists to retreat into nature and healthy food through farmhouse concerts, artist retreats, workshops and her strawbale recording studio.

Winter Fair draws near
PUBLISHED: 11:38 04 October 2011 | UPDATED: 08:37 28 March 2014
October 4, 2011: Livestock schedules for this year's two-day Royal Welsh Winter Fair have gone out to 5,000 potential exhibitors at the event which takes place on the showground at Llanelwedd, Builth Wells, on November 28 and 29.
Leading stockmen will again be competing for a share of the thousands of pounds in prizes being offered to the winning entries in the 179 classes including poultry and special awards listed in the schedule. They include 51 classes for cattle, 50 for sheep and 21 for pigs. There are also 14 classes in a lamb carcass competition. The number of classes in the horse and pony section is 35, and a new feature at the Fair this year is a competition for dressed poultry with eight entries.
The sale of livestock on the second day of the Fair is a highlight of the event when keen bidding is expected for the quality stock on offer.
The sale always attracts big crowds to the ringside and intending bidders are required to wear a buyer's lapel badge and to register a number with the auctioneer before the start of the sales where a centre section of seats opposite the rostrum is reserved for them. No-one is permitted into the sale rings without the appropriate badge which is worn for easy identification of bidders by the auctioneer.
The selling of livestock begins with lamb carcasses in the Carcass Hall at 10.30am followed by the sale of sheep at 12 noon and pigs at 2pm. Cattle enter the sale ring at 3pm with the champion and reserve going under the hammer at 3.15pm. Baby beef animals will be sold last and the sale of dressed poultry takes place on Monday, November 28, in the Carcass Hall at 4pm.
Entries for the Winter Fair close on October 19.

Dear Colleagues and Friends,
Willkommen zum IHW in Berlin!
We cordially invite you to attend the 45th incarnation of the International Herpesvirus Workshop that will be held in Berlin, Germany, from July 18-22, 2020. If you are working on a herpesvirus that infects any living organism, come to the meeting and share your data with our community and a friendly group of colleagues!
We will be back to Europe after the Ghent 2017 meeting and come together in a growing metropolitan area. Since the tumbling of the Berlin Wall in 1989 (yes, more than 30 years ago!), the city has become a symbol of unification and cultural diversity. We therefore hope to welcome you from all over the world to see how the city has evolved and grown in recent years. As in previous years, we will have sessions that focus on the molecular mechanisms of the viruses' life cycles, on pathogenesis, immunity, latency and reactivation, oncogenesis, prevention and therapy, genomics and epigenetics. Rest assured that the Scientific Advisory Board provides a comfortable place to present and discuss your data in a great atmosphere.
Please come back to this website on a regular basis and forward the link to anybody who is interested and may be willing to attend. We will provide updates on the website on a regular basis. Abstract Submission and Registration will be open at the begining of 2020.
Again, we hope that you will attend the 45th International Herpesvirus Workshop 2020 in Berlin. We promise to do our best to make this a memorable scientific event and personal experience. We are confident that Berlin with its international flair, its many cultural sites and events as well as its culinary opportunities will come to our aid in this endeavor.
See you in Berlin shortly!

Sun damage is one of such experiences, we don't denote its effects because they are not visible until years have passed, therefore we created Sunblock, an app that helps people to know when it's time to apply sunblock depending on your melanin levels and your location.

The informal road to markets: Neoliberal reforms, private entrepreneurship and the informal economy in Turkey
Document Type
Publication Date
January 2014
Journal or Book Title
International Journal of Social Economics
The informal economy has expanded across developing countries during the last decades. Focussing on the Turkish case, the purpose of this paper is to examine the role of neoliberal reforms in this development. The author argues that neoliberal reforms produced a double-edged transformation in the regulatory environment of Turkey. On the one hand, the legal rules that constrain the operation of market forces decreased giving way to more entrepreneurial activity; while on the other hand, the state's effectiveness in "policing" the market declined. As the regulatory barriers to private entrepreneurship decreased, the regulatory barriers to informality also decreased. Private sector growth and informalization emerged as the concomitant outcomes of neoliberal reforms.

How To Stay Healthy While Traveling
Traveling from one place to another is everyone wishes. It is usually exciting and full of surprises especially if it is a new place for you. However, when it comes to your health, it is where most of us start experiencing some challenges here and there. So let's look at how one can stay healthy when traveling.
1. Stay hydrated
It is essential to make sure your body has a lot of water throughout your journey. Too much sun when traveling can lead to dehydration. Long flights and airplane cabins are best known for dehydrating your body.
It is therefore important to make sure you take on enough water when traveling especially by planes. Try to remind yourself take some liters of water per day.
Be sun safe
The last thing we would like to experience is when in tropical sand we are covered in blisters and suffering from direct sunlight. You should wear protective gears or use sunscreens to cover direct sunlight to your body.
In the process, you will be preventing your body from getting dehydrated.
Prepare well for cold climate
If you intend to visit a serious cold climate, then you should prepare well in term of carrying warm clothes as well as applying moisturizers to your body every time you want to go out before it gets too cold. In the process you will learn more here on what you are required to do when in such cold climate.
Stay active and exercise.
This is something difficult to cop up with when you are traveling. It is very easy to add on weight when you are traveling. It is important always to find some time to do light exercise like snorkeling or swimming when at your destination.
Eat healthy
When we are traveling, most of us tend to consume readymade foods. It is important to try your level best to maintain healthy eating habits.
