Putin and the self esteem

I guess the Russin prime minister Vladimir Putin has a very good opinion about himself and tries to establish a kind of new order in Russia and not only.

Ajutor pentru sinistratii din Moldova

Nordul Romaniei a fost grav afectat de revarsarea raurilor ca urmare a ploilor abundente cazute in ultimele zile pe toata intinderea bazinelor hidrografice respective. Prutul si Siretul si-au iesit din matca in judetele Botosani, Suceava (aici si alte rauri majore afluente), Iasi (grav afecctat este Pascaniul) Neamt si Bacau. Din cate se pare unda de viitura se propaga spre aval, respectiv spre sudul Moldovei.

La Botosani Prutul si-a iesit din matca in zona Radauti-Prut (Darabani) iar specialistii isi pun problema deversarii unor cantitati sporite de apa spre aval din lacul Stanca-Costesti, cu acordul partii moldovene. Capacitatea acumularii este de 1,4 miliare metri cubi, in prezent fiind stocate 1,1 miliare. Debitul Prutului este de 6.500 m3/secunda.

Sute de persoane din sate aflate in lunca Prutului au fost evacuate. Unele case sunt iremediabil distruse.

Am vazut la TV ca in sedinta de guvern de astazi prezidata de catre Traian Basescu s-a decis acordarea de ajutoare celor care si-au pierdut complet locuintele si celor ale caror gospodarii au fost afectate in proportie de peste 50%. Sumele sunt mai mult decat modice - intre 300 de lei si 5.000 de lei pentru cei cu rude decedate in urma viiturilor - si probabil nu vor acoperi pagubele uriase. Anul electoral indeamna Guvernul la aceasta pomana dar se pare ca peticul e prea mic de data aceasta pentru a acoperi gaura.

Masurile trebuiau luate mai din timp in sensul amenajarii si regularizarii cursurilor de apa cu risc. Cel mai grav este ca in zona montana aceste inundatii s-au produs dupa ce proaspat "retrocedatii" si-au taiat padurea care mai de care. Acum le vin dealurile peste ei si probabil regreta amarnic faptul ca au barbierit la sange padurile care retinuau apa.

Mitropolia Moldovei si Bucovinei a raspuns initiativei PF Patriarh Daniel si a deschis un cont pentru strangerea de fonduri in vederea ajutorarii sinistratilor din eprahie.

Îndemn la solidaritate cu oamenii sinistraţi ca urmare a inundaţiilor din Moldova şi Maramureş

Preafericitul Părinte Patriarh Daniel adresează clerului şi credincioşilor din Biserica Ortodoxă Română îndemnul la solidaritate cu oamenii sinistraţi ca urmare a inundaţiilor din Moldova şi Maramureş. În acest sens Preafericirea Sa face un apel ca toţi cei care pot ajuta cu sume de bani, să le depună în următoarele conturi bancare:

Arhiepiscopia Sucevei şi Rădăuţilor, contul în lei: RO 51 RNCB 02 34 03 70 10 91 00 14, deschis la BCR, filiala Suceava

Episcopia Maramureşului şi Sătmarului, contul în lei: RO 97 RNCB 01 82 03 41 35 55 00 01, deschis la BCR, filiala Baia Mare

Arhiepiscopia Iaşilor, contul în lei: RO 19 BACX 00 00 00 30 10 57 80 14, deschis la UniCredit Ţiriac Bank - Iaşi

La Botosani sediul UniCredit Tiriac este vis-a-vis de Starea Civila, in fostul magazin Altex.

Protopopiatul Botosani a trimis deja sinistratilor 60.000 lei dupa inundatiile din aprilie 2008 si sunt sigur ca se va implica si de data aceasta.

p.s.

dupa ce atatia ani am tins asiduu spre integrarea in UE cum ne ajuta practica aceasta organizatie minune in caz de catastrofa? nu exista fonduri de urgenta pentru ajutorarea membrilor sau dupa ce ne-au vazut in curtea lor cu toata zestrea de fata mare au spus ca e bun si cotetul cainelui pentru noi?

Laura Andresan at Botosani

Laura Andresan is coming to Botosani for a hot show on the 14th of July. This is a double celebration for this county in the north-east of Romania as on that day the French people celebrate their National Day. So the National Day of France is a double occasion for celebration in Botosani, a small part of the francophone speaking world.
Laura Andresan is very well known in Romania for her really hot public shows and private parties she goes to. She has already starred in some hot clips and movies that are in fact considered by the Romanian authorities (especially NAC - CNA) as too hot and not appropriate for public display.
Laura is to appear in a show in KUAN YIN club for the first time in Botosani. Some journalists from Bucharest claim she is actually raising money - some 100,000 euros - for a young woman suffering from leukemia.
People in Botosani - especially men - can hardly wait to see her performing in a local club and the party is going to be a once in a life time occasion to enjoy the best atmosphere ever in this part of the world.

ENJOY! ;)

Pastele asta

Bai nene hai ca inca e Pastele!

Voi nu aveti senzatia ca parca anul asta nu mai e ca in ceilalti ani?! Sau asa mi se pare doar mie? Am mai vorbit cu unii si altii si ei au spus cam acelasi lucru adica au simtit o disipare a senzatiilor de anii trecuti.
O fi de la intergrarea asta in UE? MANipulare? Suntem mai europeni ca anul trecut?! Habar nu am!!!!! Dar parca la TV si pe radio suntem prea 'ancorati in sinergiile prezentului'. :))))
Ideea e ca totusi trebuie sa ne simtim mai buni si sa fim ceva mai dispusi spre a face binele daca nu in sensul biblic macar in asta modern, adica sa fim cariatbili si 'user friendly'.
Dar nu ca Gigi.

Hai sa traim!!!!

HRISTOS A INVIAT!

HRISTOS A ÎNVIAT!

Astăzi în ziua Învierii Domnului nostru Iisus Hristos întreaga comunitate creştină se bucură de minunea revenirii lumii la viaţa cea fără de moarte.
Iisus Domnul s-a pogorât la iad şi a învins duhurile necurate ce chinuiau lumea cu lucrarea lor cea întunecată.
Şi toate astea Hristos prin jertfa Sa le-a făcut pentru ca toţi inclusiv tu să poţi avea din nou şansa unei vieţi aproape de Dumnezeu şi întru Dumnezeu.

Sărbători fericite şi toate cele bune alături de cei dragi. Lumină în suflete şi în gânduri.

PAŞTE FERICIT!

Romania - Moldavia

Moldavia (Moldova) – The land of legend and history.

Last summer I was in the UK, in Lancaster, to be more precise. Meeting a lot of people from all over Europe meant a lot for me. Many of them when hearing I was from Romania started asking me questions about Dracula, Ceausescu or Ion Ţiriac and Nadia Comaneci. It was a pleasure to answer their questions. One day when asked where I was from I answered I was from Romania and I added “From the north-east of the country to be more exact. From Moldova or Moldavia how it is pronounced by the foreigners”. Oh dear!!! After that the History teacher within me came out and gave a short lesson about this historic region of modern Romania. Many people do not know anything about Moldavia and the Republic of Moldova, yet.
In the ancient times this land was not under the Roman rule as other regions of Romania. The Romans under Trajan’s command came in Dacia in 101 and established the Roman province of Dacia Felix (in the south of present day Romania) and they stayed here until 271 when the imperial administration quitted the area. On the occasion of conquering Dacia Trajan erected a wonderful column in Rome. This ancient monument still exists today and can be admired by the tourists.
What is now Moldavia, or Moldova in Romanian, was inhabited by the Dacians who remained outside the direct influence of the Romans. There are pseudo-historians who claim that the Dacians from what is today Moldavia had no contact with their brethren in the south. There is nothing more ridiculous! They kept contact and actually developed to the same rhythm as the south. The Roman settlers who came to Dacia influenced the pattern of everyday life, language and culture of the locals both in the province and outside its borders. Thus the Romanian people emerged as a synthesis of the Romans and the Dacians. The language they spoke was a mixture of local elements (of which little is known today but for some 200 words) and of Latin (Latina vulgaris).
In the Middle Ages the Romanian people lived in three principalities: Wallachia (Tara Romaneasca - in the south between the Carpathians and the Danube), Transylvania and Moldavia (between the Carpathians in the west and Tyras or Nistru in the east). During the Middle Ages the principality of Moldavia became one of the most prosperous region inhabited by the Romanians. Stefan cel Mare (1457-1504), or Stephen the Great in English, fought the Turks and other invaders and kept his country free and independent.
The 19th century was not the best period ever for Moldavia. The Russian tzars considered the strategic and economical potential of this region and in 1812 they occupied the area between the Prut River (west) and Nistru (east). The occupied part of Moldavia was transformed by the Russian authorities into a guberniya. The Romanian majority population was forced to use Russian in their relations with the administration, the local Romanian elite was prevented from reaching good jobs and many intellectuals were taken to Siberia. This brutal act separated the two halves of the largest Romanian principality. To a great extent the Moldavians on the left bank of Prut lost their national Romanian identity and language due to the lack of contact with the rest of the Romanians and to the brutal policy of the Russians.
Meanwhile on the right bank of Prut the Romanians in the three principalities decided to unify. So in 1859 Wallachia and Moldavia joined their administration under a single elected prince, Alexandru Ioan Cuza. In 1918 Transylvania, after holding a special council, decided to unify with Romania. This is how modern Romania appeared on the map of the world.
Today Moldavia is still divided into two parts by the Prut River. On the right side – which is in Romania – there are 8 counties (from north to south: Suceava, Botosani, Iasi, Neamt, Bacau, Vaslui, Vrancea and Galati). The Romanian region itself spans over 46,173 km² (19.5% of Romania's territory) and its total population is 4,681,555 as of 2002 (21.6% of Romania's population).
On the left side of the Prut was proclaimed the Republic of Moldova. This part of the historic Moldavia remained under direct Russian control until 1991 when it gained its independence from Moscow, at least formally. There were some attempts to unify with Romania but there was no real political intention to do this. The government form Chisinau still has problems with Transnistria, the region on the left bank of Nistru, which under the Russian unofficial control proclaimed its independence from the national authorities on the right bank.
