Secretary General of UCLG. Jean-Pierre Elong: "African countries will be stronger if they are truly decentralized "(Le Potentiel 11/08/2010)

The Ministry of Decentralization and Regional Planning held yesterday Tuesday, August 10, a panel discussion on "the opportunities offered by the associations of cities, municipalities and local communities and the need for DRC to organize the decentralized territorial entities in associations." This theme was developed by Jean-Pierre Elong Mbassi, Secretary General of "United Cities and Local Governments of Africa (UCLGA).
In its submission, the Secretary General of UCLG has shown that decentralization is "the heart of the democratic transformation of the Congo . Prior to point out that the most stable of the world are born of decentralized entities. In this regard, he called on Congolese authorities to accelerate the implementation of decentralization.

Therefore, the "territorialization deserves to be placed on the agenda. Without decentralization, there is no development in Africa, "he said. And note: "African states will be stronger if they are truly decentralized."

Regarding the DRC, he has insisted that it is at the heart of Africa. While Kinshasa "is the global connector of Central Africa."

In his view, local governments are at the heart of decentralization. Why, he invited the leaders of those entities to "recreate" the hope for Africa.

In terms of its structure, Elong Mbassi said his major goal is "to continue throughout the deepening of decentralization."

UNION IS STRENGTH

For his part, Minister of Decentralisation and Planning said: "Unity is strength; cities and communities in the world have realized this by creating the Cities and Local Governments of Africa."

For Antipas Mbusa Nyamwisi, economic growth and social development should be expected to primarily benefit the population spread across Africa in countries stowed in various regional organizations. He added: "This population, as a recipient of those goods and services expected, should also be associated with the dynamics of regional integration, including through institutional arrangements. "

In addition, the Minister said that the legal instruments as continental organizations, regional and national integration plan that both sought must not be limited to states, but should be extended to its sub-components for better rooting. Prior to remark: "It is in this context and in terms of SADC ministers responsible for Local Government to mobilize it established a subcommittee support of the Governments and Associations of local authorities ". Hence the interest, he added, in our provinces, our cities, our towns, our chiefs and sectors to organize themselves into associations at the national level and to join either individually or collectively to regional associations, continental and global.

Moreover, Mbusa Nyamwisi has indicated that "in the early 21st century, no one can conceive of development in isolation, sharing experiences and disseminating good practices is a necessity Good Governance, the watchword of our times. " By Albert

the month of August 2010

With the name of this month, as here: "August" we are facing a phenomenon of deterioration of our language, that is to say, a phenomenon which distorts the origin of the word and face a amuïssement that is to say a disappearance of a letter from the root word itself The "s", which, without being too sharp an etymologist, poses a real problem because it is not possible to trace the origin of the word. The 1990 report on the corrections of spelling even recommends simplification of spelling in "August." Plus internet makes us ignore all the accents!

August was named after Augustus, first Roman emperor, but here, unlike other languages, it has lost all traces of this origin: Augustus Aoust, August, whereas it remained Agosto in English and English August.

According to the most trusted dictionaries, the Littré and the Academy, for example, August has ceased to pronounce "a-out" since the sixteenth century because of the reluctance that French has for the hiatus. It has unfortunately continued, they tell us, write August with an "a" but the pronunciation has-or is outdated. Fountain even wrote "ost. "" I peers (1st edition) she said, before Out animal faith. " August pronounce "out" Voltaire said in the warning of Zaire. Madame de Sevigne wrote months out, and the Patriarch of Ferney begins a letter to the Marchioness of Deffand " At Ferney 19 August, because it is too barbaric August and to write or pronounce. " pronunciation "a-or" re-appears from the nineteenth century among the speakers and Democrats in poets like Saint-Beuve, V. Hugo H. Regnier but it would, it seems, in the true French tradition by speaking always and only "or".

This is all the more surprising that other words are derived from the name as "chiggers" for this mite that causes itching and allergies at this time, and "aoutien" which denotes a person taking holiday in August .. Will it ever change one day these names? Sure, as reported by Menage, we may, with the President of Bellievre " imagine hear cats meowing when the prosecutors, in court, saying that the case was postponed to mid -August! "

historian Flavius Macrobius Ambrosius Theodosius, better known under the name of Macrobius, born in 370 AD in Numidia, in one of the three kingdoms that divided the North African Berber (we a little too inclined to erase what happened in these regions before the year 622!) and Lucius Cassius Dio, Dio says, born in Bithynia, not far from Nice, have left us the story of the Roman Senate's decision to name this month named Gaius Octavius Thurinus, Imperator Caesar Divi Filius Augustus, which we have selected as the qualifier Augustus. These are called historians " couriers witnesses." It does not seem to me necessary to develop this rather explicit expression. Nephew and adopted son of Julius Caesar, Octavian, 20 March 1944, six days after the assassination of Julius Caesar, who will accept the heir of his great-uncle. He has nineteen years, which is the word of Cicero, a leading actors of the moment "value does not the number of years"

Only much later in the year 8 BC sextilis that "the 6th month the Roman year, became "Augustus" the Senatus-consulte justifying the decision to pay tribute to key events in the life of Augustus, as its first consulate, his three victories, the conquest of Egypt, the late civil wars , made in the course of the eighth month of the year. Later Nero, by imitation, wanted to call the April Neroneus, but this attempt has not been sanctioned by posterity. Phew! That is not to make a difference between uncle and nephew being added thirty first day this month, took on additional month of February, to put put on a par with July. So Augustus after Caesar we owe these two consecutive months of thirty-one days, not because we consider the month of hummocky fist! And because of Augustus that February is shorter than all other months.

It has yet to Emperor Augustus the word "patron " has popularized when it was the proper name of an adviser and friend of the Emperor, particularly in arts and letters. .

Traditionally, August is the second month of annual leave school the longest, in the summer while in the field is a month of many important works, often very hard, crops, fodder, preparation of fields for plowing, harvesting.

"I'm Aoust which no grant Loys

Should not take séjounre,

But mowing, fener pleasure,

Set barn and beat venner ... "

says the Great Calendar of Shepherds Guiot-Marchand in 1496.

The start time of the month is that of the heat wave period and while the tourists, holidaymakers and other people leave, aoûtiens, only think about swimming, celebrations and summer recreation of all kinds, not forgetting the rest, the farmer turns his fields: " In August and harvest, there are no holidays or Sundays " because " who sleeps sleeps in August to its cost "For us it says:" After August 15, more than nap or snack. But we must beware of excess when it's too hot " In point of excess heat wave, at any time point of the trial" Even the nap is prohibited .. "Even layer would be your taste does not sleep under the August sun "or" In August anyone sleep at noon repent. " Yet nap is beneficial if we talk about it more and more and we even wrote books to extol the benefits. This word comes from the Latin "sexta" the sixth hour of the day, time and prayers in monasteries for many believers.

There are several types of naps: the "nap blitz which usually lasts between 10 and 30 minutes - this term is also generally recommended for above 30 min nap it is quite difficult to quickly return to the waking state, the "roya the nap" from an hour of "micro-naps " which lasts less than 5 minutes. The nap can regain focus and energy, and puts in a good mood. It is still advisable not to begin to nap after 16h for not having a negative effect on the following night.

The siesta is common practice in hot countries, the hottest hours when the sun is at its zenith: the heat does not work very physical and the work is handed over to the cooler hours.

In Spain, the office hours to leave the English siesta time: they return to work in the afternoon, about 15 or 16 hours. Instead, they end up later, between 20 hours and 21 hours. The government tried unsuccessfully to change this habit at odds with the demands of globalization: the schedules of officials could now finish in 18 hours. The state hopes to encourage companies to follow suit. In China the right to nap is enshrined in the 1948 Constitution, Article 49: " Those who work are entitled to nap." In Japan, many Japanese companies have built in their local areas for the napping more or less forced their employees. In colder countries, the nap is less common. The young children often need such a moment of rest, at least in the form of a "quiet time" held in facilities (schools, recreation or vacation). In the West, the nap is often seen as a "luxury", a time to steal time from work or other activities associated with or even laziness. During the nap, you can simply lie down or sleep frankly. The time varies from person to person, ten minutes to several hours.

With Hardy we could sing: " And if you put on the answering machine is better than the earplugs, you have not noticed that it's time for a nap. .. Fidgeting too early would be a mistake, you're in need of rest .. "

The ancients knew that the key to dreams is one of balance and happiness, and recommended the practice of siesta. A former president of the republic has prefaced the book by Bruno Comby: "In Praise of the Siesta."

" Indulge yourself, lie down, do not resist the call of the nap, this plunge into voluptuous daytime sleep! Sleep, dream, break the moorings with the shore of timed daily! Decide on your time, nap! "Thierry Paquot wrote in his essay:" The art of the siesta, "and he emphasizes the mastery of time and the recognition of a time doing nothing else but sleep ...!

In Provence and here is the " Pénéquet " a small sum to the Provencal, One of these symbols of the art of living in Provence, associated with the sun, play balls and pastis! Although it is not reserved to the people of Provence, this magic moment becomes very important in our region, especially when the heat becomes more oppressive. how to resist, after a good morning spent bowls, traditional sport popular aperitif after a well watered "little yellow" followed by a meal, such as aioli, for example - which requires all possible energy to succeed good digestion - the call of a small Pénéquet? That's the question facing all when, Provence the meal, the silence becomes imposing, only interrupted by the chirping of cicadas. This is the time to slip on a chaise longue in the shade of large trees or behind the shutters of a house containing Crusaders still fresh of last night! The Pénéquet is now winning the minds and more and more supporters from a nap that would become mandatory are heard praising the benefits of a nap for a quarter of an hour a day to improve memory, judgments and creativity of all. So do not sneer at this sacred moment!

The nap us left at least three words closely associated with its practice: " the meridian, which is currently mostly used to designate a chair on which it rests. It is a sofa with two bedside tables of unequal heights we called " recamier " because of the famous portrait of David. The "sofa" is also a couch with three issues that serves as headquarters, and is often confused with a sofa. "is called a sofa a sort of couch like the Turks . That brings us change of the moon on August 11 start of the new lunar month and the beginning of Ramadan for our Muslim friends. The days are still long, it's hot it's much more difficult to fast when that period falls during periods of heat, and it will be the same in 2011 (1 August 2012 where the lunar month begins with the period heat wave coinciding with the month of Thermidor.

This time we are in the ninth month of the lunar year. This is the month of fasting holy month par excellence. The Qur'an was revealed, word for word "came down" during the month Ramadan said the Book (Qur'an, ii, 185). Each day of the month, since the advent of the new moon must be marked by a strict fast that ceases when the appearance of the first quarter of the moon following is duly recorded exactly when it is possible to distinguish the dawn of a wire white wire black. A whole casuistry has been extremely accurate set up by tradition and law schools: conditions, requirements and limitations of fasting. It would take too long to list the rules and discuss the differences between schools. The common teaching can be summarized as follows: for the fast is valid, we must make the intention, and carefully abstain from anything that might break it. When it is hot, so it is a particularly difficult to observe fasting, especially as the days are still very long.

During a new moon the night is dark It will be ideal for stargazing during the Night of Stars, which takes place this year on 6, 7 and 8 August. We can see the famous Perseids or " Tears of St. Lawrence " This is a meteor shower visible in Earth's atmosphere, After debris as a grain of sand from the comet Swift-Tuttle, a comet discovered by Adolphe Quetelet officially. There are traces of the first observations of these meteors under Julius Caesar and of Augustus, but it was only between 1864 and 1866 it established a relationship between the Perseids and Comet whose meteor shower is outcome. These meteors are observable when the debris of Swift-Tuttle encounter Earth's atmosphere, either at the end of July until 11 August. That swarm the most spectacular and most popular of the year, as it occurs, to the northern hemisphere, during the summer.

In 42 BC when Augustus was celebrating the Ludi Victoriae Caesaris, games in honor of the victories of Caesar, he passed one of these meteors was decreed that it was the soul of Julius Caesar, who was returning to the sky and the gods and from that time were added to other names of Augustus "Caesar Divi Filius."

The moon is down from August 6 to 18 but will be increasing . It's a good time to make cuttings. Prune roses have flowered and fold to five knots. It will rising of September 18 to 2 but it will be decreasing . Favorable time to sow. Always the same difficulty to understand and explain the complex cycle!

There is a node lunar August 7 and another on August 20. They are always periods of atmospheric disturbances and weather changes. On August 10 the new moon that will mark the closest perigee of us. At the full moon of 24 she is away at its peak. It will be a good time to cut the branches of raspberries that have already borne fruit. They will do more. We can remove leaves around the grapes so they ripen better.

That's what this month of August inspires me to this column. That is still the course of time, the race of the earth around the sun and dancing in the moon around the earth that conditions still the weather. Feasts and seasons when you know a lot and almost as much as me. I wanted a few lines make you look in August in another way, by linking this chronic earlier that you received and read, or not, and the next to come. Adissias!

chronic the weather and the seasons, festivals and traditions of the sayings

about the month of July 2010

To have a new column on July 2010 , there is of course what I wrote in my earlier columns, but again and again, more than 2050 years after the Romans and Julius Caesar.

month of July break with the habit of giving the month a name that refers to God but also a name that is not a reference to the place occupied in the month calendar as it will be the case for the last four months of this year.

This was the fifth month of the Roman year, hence his first name Quintilus, was baptized July, in honor of the family of Julius Caesar, who had just set up this famous calendar "Julian " which will remain in effect until 1582. That was in the year 44 BC. The Ides of March, so in the beginning of Roman senators assassinate Julius Caesar to stop what they feared to be the establishment of personal power. A few months later, this same Senate decides on a proposal from Marcus Aurelius trusted lieutenant of the famous Jules, that an order to give the fifth month of the year, the name of his family, the gens Julia. Roman or curious curious reversal of influence, murder of Julius Caesar and four months after a tribute that lasts more!

So first to the one we owe one of the most important reforms of the calendar - even if he had to adjust some 1500 years later - that I would like to beginning of this column to pay tribute. At least in science scholars that Julius Caesar had brought back from his conquest of Egypt. He was responsible for the considerable work: trying to set a method as possible to coincide with the cycle of the sun determines the seasons and over the moon it was she who until then was the benchmark for most calendars.

Sosygène of Alexandria was the principal architect of this calendar which can stress the accuracy of calculations. 10 days of error and offset more than 1500 years. The reform has kept the memory of Julius Caesar sponsor.

I will then outline some steps in the cycle of the sun and moon as they continue in both of their influences conditioned by the time we have this month of July 2010. I remember a few parties and then the expressions of time and history, or our ancestors have left us in July, and we use without knowing what they mean. On July 14, and certainly what the story, as it has taught us we have learned, but Thermidor, the heat wave and the madeleine among others, for in July that these expressions have their origins.

Let us first what is the cycle of the sun and the moon since they will determine both the time and we have that vacationers and tourists on behalf singing of " Juillette , hoping to have a beautiful tan. I could pick up quantities of quotes to support my own observations, even beyond the sayings and proverbs which I refer so often. Aratus, a poet of the early Christian era, translated by Germanicus Caesar, nephew of Tiberius, wrote: "If you're careful during regular sun and moon, you will never be mistaken about the time of day, and you will not let you take in the serenity of the treacherous night. If the first day the moon, its light gathering, reappears on the horizon, their darkened leaves growing At times the skies darken, when heavy rains threatened the laborers and sailors. But if the front of Phoebe is colored a virgin modesty, fear the wind: the wind still inflames the beautiful face of Phoebe. If the fourth day (that's your safest index), the moon rises clear and pure, and its growing tips are not dull, this day and every day following until the end of the month, will no rain and no wind and the sailors rescued from the storm, the bank will pay on their vows to Glaucus in Geoduck and Melicerte ". You have acknowledged in passing the new moon and disturbances it often entails, and also the beautiful sunset and flamboyant announcement that wind. I could give many quotes here that all say roughly the same. Pliny, for example, " If the moon rises resplendent in a pure light we think we have good weather, if it is red, wind ... etc. .. . Found in our old sayings in Provencal

" Luno blanco, Franco journado,

Luno palo, the Aigo devalo; Rougo Luno, lou wind Boujo

gulhado Luno (horns in the air) the terrorist molo,

pendento Luno (horns bottom) fendento Terro,

that Luno hangs, splits that terrorism "

And many others like these: " Beautiful new moon in three days cruel " ; or " the new moon beautiful, the four water " ; or " When the moon comes beautiful, after three feast days it is ".. and many others like it. But if the new moon rises on the weather, it announces the fine then: "When the moon is bad, the next will be charming" and more precisely: "When the moon rises in a bath, two days after some good weather, " that confirms one day after the phrase: " When the moon is in water, the third day it's nice . It speaks for itself. By cons if it rains for the new moon, it lasts until the first district, as the old saying Bourbonnais "If rain falls during the new moon, the rain will persist until the new district"

The sun, since the solstice began its downward trend. Its warm rays become drying. The days are getting shorter. It's harvest time. The rise of the sap of plants and calm down toward the roots. End of July can be grafted. The race of the earth around the sun, unless its orbit is at its aphelion is to say, its farthest point from the sun. The days are still long because the more you are away from the sun, the more it enlightens us. At the December solstice the earth will be at perihelion. (These terms are closer to the path of the moon at its apogee or perigee).'s Simplify things because we feel that our earth is the center of everything and everything revolves around us, which is not quite accurate .. The sun's path around us, and rule the season.

In July 2010 the new moon is July 11 and there is a lunar node that is to say that the curve of the moon intersects the curve of the earth around the sun . There are solar eclipse on 11, visible South America. Heaven of the days of eclipse is often white, soft. Do not these days gardening. 13, the moon is at its perigee. The combination and reconciliation of these signs will cause some disruptions in the coming days. Perhaps the famous storms of 14 July.

For the 190 St. Felicitas July "The day of St. Felicitas, is seen to come with cheerfulness, because everyone has noticed, is the most beautiful day of summer " . but it is also said "Rain of July 10, seven weeks of rain."

The curve of the moon will be rising to 12 while the shape of the moon is waning. On 12 July, the St. Savin "Dew of the day of Saint Savin, is said to be pink wine." Then the moon will grow until the full moon of 26 and his career will be downward. It is rather a sign of good weather for this period is the true and only during a heat wave, that is to say, the annual period from July 19 to August 17 when the star Sirius in the constellation of the dog, " the little dog, "and sets rises at the same time as the sun.

Pliny the Elder wrote in his Natural History in Book II, ch 40 and ss: "As the heat wave, which ignores that, getting up, she turns on the heat of the sun? "

Today and especially since the 2003 heatwave, heatwave when we talk about that in a given area, the temperature remains high and the low temperature range. Grosso speaking this corresponds to a temperature that does not drop below 18 ° at the North of France and 20 ° south, and reaches or exceeds 30 ° north and 35 degrees south. At the time of writing it is in the heatwave!

If I think the forecast from Météo France, which has long demonstrated that she could not predict the long term .. ! Michel Daloz, engineer meteorologist this agency announces that the good weather will last and that despite storm damage, which will affect the temperature, the summer will be warm and even warmer than average over the entire France, with few precipitation. "It will not be a heatwave but a real summer as people await them . We'll see!

Regarding July 14, we learned in school that King Louis XVI was far from the concerns of his people and he had noted in his notebook " nothing as if nothing had happened that day ... We must reposition things and give an explanation to this word "nothing". In fact, events since the early rush of May date for the convening of the Estates General. The King is concerned and does not know what to do. He accumulated blunders. But to his credit one must say that this July 14, 1789; too concerned, he did not go hunting. He then wrote the book on which he enters his hunting exploits, the word "nothing" . It's not quite what we were taught! It has an accuracy and Max Gallo reveals a well-documented book on the Revolution.

It was during the heat wave period from July 19 to August 17 which is the aptly named Republican Thermidor me that is the feast of St. Madeleine, 22. This festival gave us the great Fair of Beaucaire but Madeleine Paulmier that we owe the name of the famous little cake that name " madeleine Commercy The King Stanislaus of Poland as a second home was the castle Commercy Lorraine. It is said that one day when he received Voltaire and Madame du Chatelet, his cook would have made these famous cakes with a subtle flavor of bergamot, whose use spread quickly to the Court of Louis XV. They named their creation. From there to talk about the madeleine Proust, I will not venture on what has become a well-known metaphor. I find it curious that Proust lived 9 Boulevard Malesherbes, near another Madeleine familiar to Parisians. No causal link.

Regarding Lobster Thermidor sauce is a recipe created in 1884, Mayor restaurant in Paris, in honor of Sardou's play "Thermidor." Victorian which comes from a family of writers and authors is only distantly related, not very clearly established, with another well-known family of artists and Fernand Michel Sardou.

I again invite you to admire some time after sunset, the beautiful Venus, the star of the Shepherd, the so beautiful "evening star pale .

The tone of this month is rather pleasant and happy. No more vagaries of Juno. However, a good month of July does not mean, as for city dwellers today thirty-one days uniformly sunny. For the farmer, thirty-one long days without water are afraid of the consequences disastrous "July without storms, famine in the village." rains in July does not rot the earth "Rain of July, water basket . And "morning rain ..." which we know does not stop the Locust: ".. . good wine !

These are good omens! That's something for everyone. Good month of July. Addisias. !
