To mark the 20th anniversary of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, and as part of the preparation of a report on “The use of languages by local and regional authorities”, the Council of Europe Congress held a conference on this theme at the Grand Hotel Bálványos Conference Centre, Covasna County, Romania, on 31 May 2018.
The main question on the agenda was how linguistic diversity can be handled by local and regional authorities to the benefit of all concerned. The debates were divided into four thematic sessions on language use in: 1) Local and regional assemblies; 2) Interaction with the administration and citizen participation; 3) place names; and 4) access to public services.
These issues are especially relevant in those member states which have significant linguistic minorities. The Congress has received several complaints on such issues with regard to the implementation of the European Charter of Local Self-Government.
The Conference was organised by the Congress’s Governance Committee and hosted by Covasna County Council. It was opened by Congress President, Gudrun MOSLER-TÖRNSTRÖM; the Romanian member of parliament and former Minister of Culture and President of the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania, Hunor KELEMEN; the Chair of Covasna County Council, Sándor TAMÁS; and the Mayor of the City of Sfântu Gheorghe, Árpád András ANTAL.

A structure that I made for a virtual dance animation battle
event held on January of 2012.\
Contestants face off a challenge in synchronizing dance
animation to the music which the DJ randomly streams.
The viewers are the judge to decide wich team has
syncronized best to the music.
This event was held every year just to have fun,
for those that loves the dance animation of
second life. It was quite an exciting and interesting experience :)

Exhausted from delving into the social life and history of the Russian capital Moscow for a week, I sat on an airplane and did not know what to do.
My cultural experience there was so different to anything I have encountered in Europe before. I could not read the language; all I could do was look around me.
That afternoon up in the air, the flow of my throughs was put on hold. Even my body was too tired from all the walking I did there to be rebellious against the force to sit still.
Looking out of the window highlighted how the colours red and blue have melted into each other; what could have once been considered as Western culture is not much different to the Eastern way of living today.
Means: The party-bus is parked over there with lots of beers and german schlager-cd's inside. I'll have five bottles.

UNICODE 5.1.0 meets Or-Omcode∞.1.0
Unicode represents the Tower ob Babel en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Babel In computing, Unicode is an industry standard allowing computers to consistently represent and manipulate text expressed in most of the world's writing systems. Developed in tandem with the Universal Character Set standard and published in book form as The Unicode Standard, Unicode consists of a repertoire of more than 100,000 characters, a set of code charts for visual reference, an encoding methodology and set of standard character encodings, an enumeration of character properties such as upper and lower case, a set of reference data computer files, and a number of related items, such as character properties, rules for normalization, decomposition, collation, rendering and bidirectional display order (for the correct display of text containing both right-to-left scripts, such as Arabic or Hebrew, and left-to-right scripts). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UniCode

Lake Victoria (Nam Lolwe in Luo; Nalubaale in Luganda; Nyanza in Kinyarwanda and some Bantu languages)[1] is one of the African Great Lakes. The lake was named after Queen Victoria by the explorer John Hanning Speke, the first Briton to document it. Speke accomplished this in 1858, while on an expedition with Richard Francis Burton to locate the source of the Nile River.
With a surface area of approximately 68,800 km2 (26,600 sq mi), Lake Victoria is Africa's largest lake by area, the world's largest tropical lake, and the world's second largest fresh water lake by surface area, after Lake Superior in North America. In terms of volume, Lake Victoria is the world's ninth largest continental lake, containing about 2,750 cubic kilometres (2.23×109 acre·ft) of water.
Lake Victoria receives its water primarily from direct rainfall and thousands of small streams. The Kagera River is the largest river flowing into this lake, with its mouth on the lake's western shore. Lake Victoria is drained solely by the Nile River near Jinja, Uganda, on the lake's northern shore.
English Language Fellow, Joanie Andruss, took the bull by the horns and launched an American idiom film project in Timor-Leste. The project is a collaboration between students from the Universidade Nacional de Timor Lorosa’e (UNTL), the English Access Microscholarship Program, and the US Embassy Public Affairs Section. First, UNTL students explored the world of American Idioms through games and ECA materials, including In the Loop: A Reference Guide to American English Idioms. It was a piece of cake for students to write short dialogues featuring several idioms in the context of their day to day lives in Timor-Leste. Script settings ranged from “Going to the Beach,” to “Catching a Microlet.” The second phase of the project involved Access students, who were tickled pink to practice their lines in preparation for their future film debuts.
These is a note cards that I designed during my internship with Global Language Project.

tagliatelle, design Jasper Morrison
The direct and concise language of Jasper Morrison is applied to the spaghetti chair.
Today, Jasper Morrison offers his own original reinterpretation of this Alias icon, 30
years after its introduction. A highly innovative follow-up, tagliatelle is a chair inspired
by the perfect synthesis of technology and form incorporated in the spaghetti chair,
extracting and reformulating each and every element. The structure is stoveenamelled
tubular steel, with the back and seat rests consisting of interwoven elastic
strips, available in a single colour or a combination of shades. The resulting form is
Zen inspired; of studied yet simple elegance. A harmonious and balanced
composition derived from meticulous attention to each detail; the calculations for the
diameter of the tubular steel, the structure’s interlocking system, the invisible system
used to secure the elastic strips.
Il linguaggio diretto e essenziale di Jasper Morrison incontra spaghetti chair. E di
questa icona Alias nata 30 anni fa Jasper Morrison offre oggi la sua originale
reinterpretazione. Un sequel ad alta innovazione. Tagliatelle. Seduta che, ispirandosi
alla perfetta sintesi tra tecnologia e forma di spaghetti chair, ne cita e riformula ogni
elemento. La struttura in tubolare d’acciaio verniciato. Schienale e seduta composti
da fasce elastiche intrecciate fra loro, disponibili in tinta unita o melange. Il risultato
visivo è una seduta zen. Dall’eleganza meditata e allo stesso tempo semplice. Un
equilibrio compositivo che scaturisce dall’attenzione per tutti i dettagli. Il calcolo del
diametro del tubolare, le modalità di incastro della struttura, il sistema di aggancio
invisibile delle fasce elastiche.

"The Afrikaans Language Monument (Afrikaans: Afrikaanse Taalmonument) is located on a hill overlooking Paarl, Western Cape Province, South Africa. Completed in 1975, it commemorates the semicentenary of Afrikaans being declared an official language of South Africa separate from Dutch. Also, it was erected on the 100th anniversary of the founding of Genootskap van Regte Afrikaners (the Society of Real Afrikaners) in Paarl, the organization that helped strengthen Afrikaaners' identity and pride in their language."
