Mom Catch Son With Her Undies

take stock - more than just a review

year reviews pixelio.de on TV, make business inventory and take stock. What about you, you also take stock? In the year to look back and gain valuable insights - the time between the years is predestined. Looking for a quiet place and go!

Step 1: Describing
situation a year ago
circumstances, feelings, expectations and other ideas - all what you remember. I use the phrase Bilanz ziehen - mehr als nur ein Rückblick "describe", because most effective is the writing down - something "black and white" have documented all aspects and possible later additions. The first step is to calibrate itself for the second step, the recording of your performance relative to the time.

Step 2:
positive-negative list
Share now your hand in the middle (line, wrinkles) and write on the left column "Positive 2009" and 2009 "negative" on the right. Most are already at the table to label the first few things. Alternatively, connect Your eyes and let the "Film 2009" run again. Write everything that you have succeeded well where you are happy, proud of himself, in love, were thrilled, what have you tried anything new, knowledge, encounters with interesting people and so on. Please be in the truest sense of the word mean and also document the "little things" because they are often the greatest. For "Negative 2009" I need you any suggestions to give, because in the nature of man is to carry out much more clearly negative.

Step 3: Pull
balance
Can it be that you have invaded, especially in the left column, many things that You have half an hour ago not thinking? Sit quietly on the positive side, you praise the and be aware of your strengths. In the negative column, you ask: What was my part in it? What can I do to prevent incidents like these? Try to find now an apt phrase for your list who has everything, describes as "a journey into the self", if you traveled a lot and have dealt also with your inner life. The sentence can be longer, of course, it should fit just for you.

Step 4:
New Course pretend
who has no goal, can not arrive! A spell that has it all. Use the Auf Kurs setzen - wo soll es hingehen? findings from Step 1 to 3, a "Forecast" (as in the business is so beautiful-new German) for the next year to be produced: What do you want to achieve? Where will the journey to work and private life go down? You may have already occurred, a summary sentence for the new year? Document!

take stock and setting the new course. Take the time to try to avoid New Year's resolutions, because unplanned and sudden rate changes can swim pretty fast ...

Gold Metal Airsoft Gun For Sale

every year ...

... we are thinking of Christmas presents . And this is quite Alle Jahre wieder machen wir uns Gedanken zu Weihnachtsgeschenken thoroughly. consider, according to a survey by Market Agent women 8 hours, men 6 hours. Buying takes in both sexes again 6 hours - not pack included. All in all, a whole day if you only count the time awake. The beauty of "procedure": Man "sacrifices" the time for people one likes - provided it is not "forced" to do so.

be ... we have so few of . 2009, according to consultancy Ernst & Young 226 be € per head. With 57% are books, money and vouchers, the most popular gifts, followed by clothing (49%), DVDs and CDs (45%) and consumer electronics (27%). The art is to find an "appropriate" gift. Is it too little, the donor is easy as stingy and the recipient can also cause a feeling of disdain (more in the article "Give is fun").

... we can exchange more than to pay, because according to Wiktionary is a gift from the "transfer of (packed) property without expectation of return." Think of times before, unwrap presents on Christmas Eve, and give back nothing but. This could the atmosphere quite gloomy. Clearer rules are there at the "Secret Santa", a Vorweihnachtsbrauch in companies, associations, schools. Each participant must be under a "gift" now, which is then raffled off each other.

had high expectations more ... less. weeks now executed a fever on the festival of festivals, then it is suddenly there. You sit in a sea of wrapping paper lurches, from a culinary delicacy to the next and not what actually the feast of love:, it the sparks fly ever! An Emnid survey, see 35% of respondents "have high expectations of the harmony" as the main cause of disputes, 21%, "it could not explain, "for 18% it is the" Visit obligations ", 9% gave the alcohol to blame, and 5% were so disappointed with their gift, which is a dispute. victims are often children.

a" fine mess " !

And a "quiet night" - that is what I wish you :-)

Scandinavia: Poverty in the welfare wonderland


On the occasion of the upcoming European Year to combat poverty and social exclusion 2010 the Nordic Institute in Finland , the Information Office of the Nordic Council Mini Ster " north focus" on with the newspapers Le Monde diplomatique and Ny Tid 25th November 2009, a seminar in Helsinki (with live circuits to Stockholm, Copenhagen and Reykjavik).
The topic "What are the costs of poverty - Perspectives from the Nordic Countries" was discussed by scientists from all over Scandinavia.
Asbjørn election, a member of Koordinationskomittee Forum Social Europe and union consultants, answered in the political context of the Norwegian welfare state as a social and democratic achievement. Professor Markus Jäntti intervened from the Institute for Social Research at the University of Stockholm out the field of child poverty in Finland. Professor Stefan Olafsson of social science research institute at the University of Iceland could tell before suddenly very attentive audience about the case of the Viking capitalism and its consequences for Iceland. Professor Peder Pederson from Institute of Economics at the University of Aarhus , member of the Danish National Centre for Welfare Research , finally provided a general confront empirical survey of Danish poverty to the popular belief of the eradication of poverty.

loudest and Asbjørn was refreshing choice. trained as a speaker at the May Day celebrations and the European Social form as well as the World Social Forum he was resigned to the liberal counter-regulatory litanies. The year 1979 is the acid test: In the same year as the Nordic Council announced the eradication of poverty, marked with the oil crisis is to reverse the global financial system and the rise of a new economic liberalism as the guiding ideology. Even in the isolated left Social Democratic Norway increases poverty hand in hand with new higher investment income. Asbjørn election sees a reciprocal relationship of spread of work and accumulation of wealth. Maxim of his analysis
"The problem of poverty is to be studied first at its sources and secondly in its manifestations is. - Richard Tawny, 1931
For Asbjørn choice is the existence of welfare and poverty is a result of the balance of power between capital and labor. Welfare state is progress in the living and working conditions. With shifts in power relations, the welfare issue, the question of the distribution of wealth is made new. This is called choice of social power, the base of the control and ownership is of capital and resources. Thus, the welfare state income social struggle, the base of the mobilization of the public. The social peace is not the cause of the welfare state but rather a (unilateral) "ceasefire". The essence of the welfare state is to take out large areas of the economy from the market and to submit to democratic control. Asbjørn election issue here in the opposition to market-based thinking to himself and was raised in the tradition of reformist thinking of a presumed dead social democracy.
looks from the 1930s until the 80 election partent an era of capital regulation. Capital controls, credit controls, state monopolies, investment, fixed exchange rates, Labor legislation and a huge public sector have been developed. All this is understood as a power resource that is now in the hands of society. This power, such auchals understood literally, is a prerequisite for Asbjørn choice of the welfare state. However much choice defenders of the welfare state, but for him, the two different characteristics. For one, the welfare state social insurance, social services, real redistribution, even seeds of a vision of a different form of society. Second, however, submitted the welfare state a repair shop of a "brutal and inhumane economic system", which unemployment, disenfranchisement and health issues brings. Sarcastic Arthur Balfour is cited:
"Social policy is the most effective antidote to socialism."
State welfare, then, in Germany you know the lessons from history as a tool for Deradikalisierung the labor movement.
Back to 1979, which is Asbjørn choice of turning point where the collapse in the crisis of the social pact. In the neo-liberal offensive regulations are removed, the public sector is shrinking and poverty on the return. This redistribution is a shift in the balance of forces. From public to private, from labor to capital, from the poor to the rich. In step with rising inequality and versträktem pressure Increase the welfare state, the richest 10% of the Norwegian population their share of national wealth to more than 30%. Nowadays diagnosed election a regressive society. Wirtschaftsaufschwünge have no impact on poverty and a social reproduction of poverty takes its course. While poverty reduction denied by the government, growing support for right-wing populism.
The system of "workfare ", adopted in Germany as "promoting and demanding" in the form of so-called " 1 euro-jobs " Asbjørn sees election as a barrier to prosperity. "Workfare" reinforces the concept of homo economicus and looks instead of structural Reasons of unemployment, lack of work ethic and work incentives as a problem to be fought. This initiated by Thatcher form of social policy is now established both in European social democrats as well as conservatives and from the academic side only of a few, among them John Veit-Wilson contradicted. However, "workfare" just a symptom of a larger paradigm change: risks are individualized, more and more areas are exposed to the market, universal social rights to be converted into income-tested benefits, private management methods are used extensively and the government (and democratic society ) were deprived of power. As an alternative to state welfare provision is advocated private charity.
This policy development is accompanied by the decline of European social democracy. Conservative-liberal governments and opinion leaders in the long term gain ground, despite the proclaimed "new center" of Blair / Schröder 12 years ago. Asbjørn choice here means a basic ideological crisis reflected in the left to see. Choi's approach is not a campaign storm of social movements and non-government organizations. He asked to identify sources of power, concentration of working towards the market and restrictions on a broad social mobilization. Power gains of trade unions and Left to be felt through the immediate increase in social benefits.

The surprising thing about Asbjørn Wahl's presentation was, however, the reactions to it. Decorum it was sulking in the left corner to send his klassenbwusster position, I can not express otherwise, than taken for granted and discussed from this perspective. Professor Pedersen did try again later, the seminar in empirical social liberal waters to conduct, it seems that the sakndinavische public, as far as one can speak to scientists, journalists, intellectuals and students from public, far from a liberal discourse hegemony. Maybe not a lion, but a glimmer of hope from midnight.

market is made: German-Finnish Finnish Economic Development

If Invesitionsbroschüren web sites or business location can be browsed through, the landscape is very, very fresh and to high technology. Still no export industry is pure silicon and services.
While making the great from the industries and the large international trade. Nevertheless, among the small and medium-sized enterprises and their activities on economic infrastructure. From the German side, here the network of foreign chambers of commerce appears on the scene. Following the example of German local industry and commerce German and local companies are jointly a club that provide in cooperation with the associations of the German economy, business associations and economic development agencies services. AHKs support the search for business partners to create market studies, making site advice and give legal and tax information. In the case of Germany, here is the field mass mediation of particular importance .


In the Finnish case, there is the German-Finnish Chamber of Commerce ( Saksalais-Suomalainen Kauppakamari ) and her (but purely export-oriented) counterpart Finpro . The Federal Republic is also "using" the current economic crisis, the most important Trading partner for Finland.
did trade with Germany in January 2009 (even before Sweden, the Russian Federation and the USA) 10.5% of Finnish exports, or 2.3 billion EUR from. Imports from Germany has a volume of 15.1% of imports into Finland or in absolute terms, 3.2 billion EUR. The Federal Republic dissolved the Soviet Union after its collapse from Finland's largest trading partner and has since generated 10 - 15% of Finland's foreign trade. The current distance from the competition is intensified by the economic crisis that hits as trade with Russia far stronger than the German-Finnish trade. Thus, since 2007 the Russian-Finnish Trade by about 50% broken, whereas in 2008 the German-Finnish trade fell by "only" 30%. Russian exports to Finland is mainly oil. In the area of goods and services, the European Union countries, particularly Sweden, Germany, the biggest competitor to the Finnish market.
during 2008, imports from Finland 1.0% (8.1 billion EUR) from the German imports. In the same period the German economy exported 1.0% (9.9 billion EUR) of its volume in Finland. In absolute terms, although Finland is so far behind that of major trading partners, the Netherlands (import) and France (Export) in per capita consumption is a Finn buys more German products than any Frenchman.
The portfolio of German exports to Finland, to name a downright classic. Place about a Fünftle make cars, mechanical and electrical engineering. Furthermore, important chemicals (15%) and metals (10%). understand the strong growth is the food industry (5%), Lidl has entered the Finnish market and German brands have bought in the supermarket shelves of Finnish cooperatives. The medium-term project of the German-Finnish Chamber of Commerce is to awaken interest drugstore chains for the Finnish market, where this form of retailing is unknown. The APC hopes that this, shake up the dominated Konsumgenosschenschaften and agricultural cooperatives retail market and to lower the price level.
Nearly a quarter of Finnish exports to Germany to make paper and paper products. Metals, particularly steel timber, 17%, 14% electrical, machinery 10% and 4%. Electrical engineering is almost a synonym for Nokia, Finland's largest company and world leader on the mobile communications market. The other cars are counted with 6%, which is largely attributable to the Porsche factory in Finland, and 4% (originating from Russia) of oil.
important in the coming years will be whether the declining importance of the Finnish paper industry can be collected. Conversely, it is interesting that the world champions travel to spend 84.7 billion EUR for tourism spending just 0.4% in Finland. Here, in an area where gut decisions are at least as important as the price for the plane encountered German sluggishness and Finnish technological enthusiasm to each other: even at tourism fairs in Germany refer Finnish representative web on a site, while hoarding the majority of German households still Brochures be.
