The well known philosopher German Jürgen Habermas, professor emeritus at the University of Frankfurt, will receive on Wednesday, June 16 , Ulysses Medal from University College Dublin . In an interview Paul Gillespie of the Irish Times , Habermas criticizes Chancellor Angela Merkel for having squandered his reputation by sacrificing the stability of the European Union by the expectation of domestic electoral gains. The following is the conversation fragments that allude to issues of political communication:

Paul Gillespie: Political communication and a deliberative public sphere at the center Are of your philosophical reasoning. What role does this imply for quality media?

Jürgen Habermas: It is easier to detect the mote in the eye of the other than the beam in one’s own. This is why the destruction of political communication in the United States in particular – a case in point being the ideological indoctrination of the population during the debates over [President Barack] Obama’s health care reform – is more apparent to us Europeans. But the breakdown of public discourse is also progressing quite rapidly in our own countries. The major national newspapers, which played a decisive role in forming political opinion over the past century-and-a-half, have come under economic pressure and have yet to find a business model that would ensure their survival on the internet.

PG: Is there a case for public subsidy schemes to protect them from the effects of market rationalisations?

JH: In contrast to commercial television, the programming of the public broadcasting companies has not yet completely lost sight of the fact that its audience is not only composed of consumers but also of citizens. They are even bound by law to offer their audience not just entertainment but also information, education, and cultural programmes, and thus to provide solid underpinnings for the formation of independent political opinions. On the other hand, this BBC – or, in Germany, ARD and ZDF – model is not easy to apply to newspapers, which have to secure their independence in the private sector. But we should all wake up to the fact that the disappearance of an argumentative press represents an extremely acute danger for democracy. There are isolated experiments that seek to combine public subventions for the leading press with guarantees of their ongoing editorial independence. We should put such experiments on a broader footing before the New York Times or Le Monde or El País or the Frankfurter Allgemeine are rationalised out of existence or go bankrupt.

[…]

PG: The economic crisis puts public discussion of European integration at the centre of political debate. Can this politicisation of mass public awareness contribute to a deeper political union of the EU?

JH: In every country the tabloid press is eager to exploit any opportunity to foment nationalistic and xenophobic prejudices. In Germany, the Greek crisis provoked the Bildzeitung to such excesses, and the politicians allowed themselves to be carried away by this climate of opinion. Especially in times of crisis, reasonable proposals can gain the upper hand only if the national press keeps a clear head, together with the government and the major political parties. It should not let itself be taken in by populist slogans and it must maintain a halfway deliberative climate in the country. In the final analysis, it is the responsibility of the Political Parties to Ensure That The Population Does Not succumb to fear ITS Reflexes and That It Makes Decisions Reflecting on only after long-term Its Own Interests. But leave me past Experiences Sceptical. To date There Has Not Been a European single election or referendum in Any Country That Was not ultimately about National Issues and tickets. Habermas

deliver a lecture on Tuesday titled "The Political : The Rational Meaning of a Questionable Inheritance of Political Theology" at six o'clock in the afternoon at the Clinton Auditorium, University College Dublin.

connectors HOW MUCH bad writing?

MUCH "bad writing?
A large financial institution in the country, tells me a former student who works there, was not long ago a request in writing of its American branch, this branch of the plant required a computer program to help them manage their specific processes. Our former students be responsible for designing and developing this little program, however, from the beginning there were difficulties: the text did not indicate specifically what should make the software in question. Calls were made for clarification, were sent emails, asked questions, virtual meetings were convened. A second text was central to the requirements "specified" for the program. Our systems engineer, with the help of two colleagues, engaged for three months to produce. When he reached the hands of the subsidiary is that ... was not what I had requested. In the end, the second text was so ambiguous and confusing as the first. Further clarifications, new emails, heated arguments, recriminations, accusations and bickering. I think situations
like this are very, very common in the workplace, the bad writing, like all skills that performs poorly, it has its consequences. They are not easy to calculate, because there is still no research specifically dedicated to clarify this point, however, some considerations can be made, since it is clear that one of its most important effects is the waste of money, time and energy; In other words, poor writing leads to significant costs on business.
The first one is related to the negative image that is associated with an institution whose workers, particularly the first and second level, make spelling mistakes. There is damage most important, but it has its weight. Compared with current total quality standards, presentation of business documents accent accompanied by errors in words of common usage, simply cause a reaction of shock and denial, because deep down we sense that this deficiency is only the tip of the iceberg announces and reveals major problems.
However, poor writing is not just a mediocre performance in the use of the spelling or the tilde, in fact, bad writing is one that does not solve the problems that give rise to the act of writing, it fails the purposes for which a text is designed to not affect or change the audience for which it is intended.
should be noted, in fact, that writing is not a free action, but a behavior that begins to approach a problem and whose objective is precisely to resolve it. The problem can be very simple: our account debited to an expense that we make, and we must seek clarification from the bank, but can become very complex and sophisticated, as when we have to convince a board of directors, obsessed with the budgetary control, to increase the amount allocated to our department. The point is that at the root of writing there is a conflict, a difficulty: "... if There Were no problem there Would Be No Need for your report. To write the report Without Explaining the problem That Gave rise to it-as do Many writers curiously, is to leave out the reason for the whole thing. "[1]. Bad writing happens long before this event, so that the meaning of the act of writing away miserably. The wording is poor
another delicate aspect: it is done blindly, in other words, instead of word-processing takes place in terms of objectives, the ideas in a bad writing just "happens" without apparent justification. Misspelled means to raise a number of thoughts, data, information, without articulating, for the specific composition, a primary purpose and in several secondary or ancillary. In contrast, if you are going to write a letter, a memo, a proposal or a report, you should know sooner, if possible, before you write, what is the aim in the text. [2]
Finally, bad writing is guilty of reckless, ie is no question not addressed the needs of the audiences it is intended. I mentioned the hearings, because as Paul says Anderson, in the business rarely writes for a single person, the letters are actually intended for a wide variety of readers, both colleagues in the same range as lower and upper level; specialists and laymen also, external and internal. This author indicates that the reports may have a little more than three readers and first-level executives who approved its contents, more than two readers that transmit the information it contains, more than fifteen to take concrete action from it and about ten just read it. [3] In sum, what is the cost of bad writing? Could be expressed thus: unresolved problems, goals not achieved, unreached audiences.
Can you translate this to dollars and cents? It is not easy, because as I said at first there is no research to provide us with accurate information, but only in order to mark a contrast comment on the case of an agency dedicated to editing and proofreading. Mathes and Stevenson [4] describe the amount that this company charged about fifteen years ago for his work. Point, in fact, that for a 30-page report, the company estimated a cost equal to $ 21.00 dollars per sheet. This, however, was not all the price is multiplied by a "constant cost" that depended on the qualities of the manuscript, ie, whether the text would be reviewed showed qualities associated with good writing this "constant cost" era equal to 0.6. So a good review and edit written final cost to $ 378.00 dollars. But if the manuscript was dominated by bad writing the "constant cost" was equal to 2.7, so it was hard to correct a bad text, finally, $ $ 1,701.00, which is four times more. Dollars are the eighties, but the ratio between the cost of poor writing and of good writing, at 4 to 1, is very eloquent.
I mention that probably in our third world country, where the price of labor, whether manual or intellectual, is heavily punished, the proportion should be different, perhaps 2 to 1 or, in the best possible, of 2.5 to 1. As proof of this assumption I can only mention, in the absence of solid evidence, the case of a friend mine copyeditor who is willing to review a piece for the equivalent of a dollar in its current price (approximately eleven dollars), but this is only binding to review spelling words, not the bulk of the bad writing, but the tip of the iceberg. If you want a more elaborate correction is not willing to receive less than 2.5 dollars, because in most cases this type of review involves completely redo the text.
Finally, it is clear that misspelling has a price and therefore I think that if we belong to a company that weaknesses in written communication is clear and consistent, we must ask how we are paying this price, that is, how we are paying the cost of poor writing.

"Join, or die" Pure theater

The
is considered as the first bullet in the history of the United States of America is one in which it shows a snake cut into pieces under the title " Join, or die ." Posted by none other than Benjamin Franklin in his Pennsylvania Gazette in 1754, drawing has been used for various reasons since its first appearance, with its original intention of stirring up the American colonies to unite against the French and Indians. Over time, the bullet has been with the unit calls to U.S. federal, confederal against the vagaries of advocating for greater differentiation between its states. The current European crisis becomes relevant application to our old continent.

Europe is not a nation but a cluster of nations, said the famous Salvador de Madariaga-European. That is the drama of Europe, which so preoccupied the founding father Altiero Spinelli: a continent that needs to be united to be competitive in the global world, but that does not have a collective identity strong enough to form a government under the people ( democracy). The current crisis is a litmus test for Europe: if the Greeks and English are able to accept reforms induced by Germanic Iron Lady, the idea of \u200b\u200ba European president elected by universal suffrage will be a little less impossible.

The Anglo-Saxon media commentators as James Surowiecki or Niall Ferguson is clear: Spain and Greece are not much worse than California or Michigan. But the latter states within a federation that makes financial transfers where necessary, and have a Federal Reserve can buy public debt, unlike the European Central Bank, gripped by a clause in the Treaty of Lisbon which will help to explicitly prevent a member state.

The European project has always been indirect, cold and gray. As if Monnet and Schuman knew that European unity ever be achieved with calls to popular involvement (Spinelli model), but co-opted by national elites and the famous functional integration (slow economic sector) rather than a clear division of powers in a constitution legible.

Complexity is the inevitable consequence of the diversity is generally thought. The European ideal defends the compatibility of the small (of the nearly three hundred regions or nations of Europe) with large (a common market of 500 million people, the largest in the world). Is it possible to maintain that balance?

In a recent and very interesting book ( Euro-clash: The EU, European identity, and the future of Europe, Oxford, 2008), sociologist Neil Fligstein defends the idea that Europe is divided between a new and emerging European purely class (business woman who travels almost daily on the Eurostar and has made three security numbers Social as many European countries, or Erasmus student who is working in the country of destination) and another class Europeans (perhaps the majority) who only see their life within the confines of the old nation-state, which are asking for protection in the midst of financial turmoil that plagues us. The first would be prepared for a European market in which a Dutchman I can snatch a university teaching position, because they know they can do the same in Rotterdam. The latter are in the new Europe a futile illusion, the Trojan horse of the dreaded neo-liberalism, or a replay of Hitler or Napoleon's conquests in command of a faceless bureaucracy.

Are Europeans prepared to revive the old dream of the United States of Europe? Or prefer a non-elected technocracy review the accounts of the states before they ratify them in their parliaments, in order to maintain administrative fiction that nothing has changed? The debate between the two Europes (the dynamic that calls for freedom and mobility against the reactionary, asking for protection and safety) fascinates Americans (Fligstein is a professor at California-Berkeley ), but seems to elude the Europeans themselves. How long?

Meat Classification

Marbling is the term used to describe the intramuscular fat (fat contained between muscle fibers) that are visible as white spots, have an impact on the quality of the tasting of the court, and that gives it its three main features: juiciness, smoothness and flavor. It is the main factor determining the quality of the meat.
If an American court missing any of these three features we can say that the term is misused and is not an American court
Marbling is also used as a basis for the classification of meat, so the more marbling present American cut its quality is higher.
The classification of meat according to the degree of marbling is: PRIME


• Also known as moderately abundant.
• marbling is the highest quality.
• It is considered that only 2% of cattle are suitable for a cut of this quality. CHOISE


• It features a slightly abundant marbling. MODESTO

SELECT or
• Features a modest marbling
• This quality is considered low for an American court
STANDARD

• There is a slight marbling
• Characterized by an American court hard and dry with little flavor.

The classification of meat quality by the degree of marbling also we see represented in the pyramid below

Quality Choice or slightly rich is divided into 2 parts: Upper and Lower, this is because standards Canadian and American quality programs handle ensuring high quality choice for prime, choice and a low can be select.
