RE: Discussion - "Why should ...

Hi Uli...

I'm sure there are many angles to how we may each see this. Survival is 'intuitive' even if we have little personal knowledge or experience of a catastrophe that would call upon our intuitive animal instinct to flee or defend.

Strictly a moral issue, if we have children, or in a responsible position for the health and well-being for children in our care and have a social survival respect for others.
As we share this existence, those amongst us that have little knowledge or experience with the many dangers that are possible as our environment shifts around us Those of us with compassion and a connection to the daily experience of Life the highs and lows, would extend every opportunity to save another Human from fear and danger… ‘my opinion only’

The following regarding
United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child
How interesting that amongst others, the United States have not ratified this most basic understanding that Children have rights… Social / Moral / existence !!!!!

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, often referred to as CRC or UNCRC, is an international convention setting out the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of children. Nations that ratify this international convention are bound by it by international law. Compliance is monitored by the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child which is composed of members from countries around the world. Once a year, the Committee submits a report to the Third Committee of the United Nations General Assembly, which also hears a statement from the CRC Chair, and the Assembly adopts a Resolution on the Rights of the Child.
Governments of countries that have ratified the Convention are required to report to, and appear before, the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child periodically to be examined on their progress with regards to the advancement of the implementation of the Convention and the status of child rights in their country. Their reports and the committee's written views and concerns are available on the committee's website.
The United Nations General Assembly adopted the Convention and opened it for signature on 20 November 1989 (the 30th anniversary of its Declaration of the Rights of the Child). It came into force on 2 September 1990, after it was ratified by the required number of nations. All member nation states (countries) of the United Nations, except the United States and Somalia, have ratified it.
The Convention generally defines a child as any person under the age of 18, unless an earlier age of majority is recognised by a country's law.

Hi Malta - Looking to move to Malta How do you see New design business /living

Just finding a moment or two to say Hi to all, always thinking of you, how the world turns, we can only commit to the journey each step a direction full of expectation of new experiences. I have always liked this quote:

"I was afraid that by observing objects with my eyes and trying to comprehend them with each of my other senses I might blind my spirit altogether."
Socrates

Hi Malta - Looking to move to Malta How do you see New design business /living

"HiFy"

We have been together for almost a year now, here in the South of Germany, Austria and Switzerland just a short distance away. Missing the Sunshine LOL
I travelled from Australia last November

Hi Malta - Looking to move to Malta How do you see New design business /living

Hi Marti.

Good to drop in now and then. We have been thinking about Malta again, how do you think the local economy is doing at the moment. I have a design business that has now a production in the UK so I will need to travel on occasions. The lifestyle as I remember was easy but that was many years ago. Gela was in Malta two years ago for a holiday.

Would love to see what you think about what I created in Australia and now in the UK, drop me a email and I can give you my web-site info.

Hey good to see you again., still coffee with Sambuca !!!!!!

Hi Malta - Looking to move to Malta How do you see New design business /living

Hi Rusty.

How do you see the economic climate in Malta, my design business is connected with the interior design and architectural market.

I have been in contact with one of Malta's leading interior design companies and the are very interested in the material.

Hope you are enjoying that famous Mediterranean weather.

Hi Malta - Looking to move to Malta How do you see New design business /living

Hi everyone....Marti - Rusty - Lagoona

Just looking for any information that might help with our intention to move to Malta.
i was in Malta many years ago but have always thought we might move to establish my design business in Malta as it has many close connections to mainland Europe and the UK.


Any thoughts????

You can contact me for my web-site, just to see what I do...


Just dropping in to say, Hi Paolo & HiFy here in Germany
Ciao

RE: I need some help again...

Hi Sommer...

The BIN file that has come to you as an email attachment is probably a CD video, you need to check with your sender if this is correct.

To open a .Bin or .Iso or .Cue file you will need to download a program like this one

Hope this helps.

Ciao. Paolo

We DID survive.....

Just a thought or two, HOW DID WE SURVIVE IT ALL.........





CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE
1940's, 50's, 60's 70's 80's !!


First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a tin, and didn't get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, our baby cots were covered with bright coloured lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking

As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.


Riding in the back of a van - loose - was always great fun.
We drank water from the garden hosepipe and NOT from a bottle.


We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.


We ate cakes, white bread and real butter and drank pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because......



WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!



We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.


No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.


We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem .

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones, no text messaging, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents .


We played with worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.


Made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we did not poke out any eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them!

Local teams had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!


The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!

This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!


The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.


We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned


HOW TO
DEAL WITH IT ALL!


And YOU are one of them!

CONGRATULATIONS!


You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good.


While you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.



PS -The BIG type is because your eyes are shot at your age!

RE: Thanks...........

Just a moment to wish you strength and fortitude at this time. I can relate to the death of a near one, and the distance that prevents us from being with them at the time. My sister passed away last month in Australia and it has also been a trying emotional feeling for me.

Wishing you all the best from us both for the next days that will be somewhat trying at best.

Paolo and highfidelity

RE: Re-incarnation

Shurly this can only be subjective at best… I can’t find any information regarding anyone that has been able to communicate from the position of a re-incarnated being that has anything to talk about.

I must admit that I hold the opinion that we live on many levels of existence, Now, Then, Next…
We might as well take what comes when it happens, as what we do in the Now has much to do with what we did in the Past. The Next may be what we may aspire to but what makes us feel we have any control over it.
Australian Aborigines can travel across vast distances following ‘Song Lines’ that past generations have sung into the land itself. Ancient Europeans have used ‘land Lines’ that enable safe travel across continents with no written markers.

Re-incarnation may have always been the unseen energy passed on from the deceased to the Now. As for returning as just another being to endlessly trample the paths of those in the Now, seems a pointless revolving door to nowhere.
