Integrative Social Contract Theory

Buying a property in England

Dear readers, I apologize for my recent desertion. Mea maxima culpa , I could not quench your thirst for tickets as approximate and uninteresting now trying to fix this.

This explains my absence temporary addition to the accumulation of professional duties last minute - we feel the year-end break his nose - neither more nor less than the addition of events quite significant although time consuming in the personal life of your servant.

After about two years away, I announce that I agree again very select club of homeowners (subscription sponsored by a bank amiable).
Yesterday, I got the keys to what will be for some time to come, the roof over the head of my family.

I have the opportunity to reveal to you the exclusive behind the scenes of a real estate acquisition in the territory of Her Majesty.

It feels good not to be tenant !

If this statement may seem obvious in France since it concludes that feeling of losing money and finance your landlord at a loss, the situation is even more significant in England where it is difficult to feel at home when it is simple "taking" .
English law is terribly protective of owners - forgetting the portion is the weaker party to the contract - if it does exist in residential leases for an indefinite period on the French model, there is an exception!
In practice, owners are able to impose (and do not hesitate to do so) term contracts renewable express acceptance by both parties - which is to say, for acceptance the owner. Every 6 or 12 months, you must go through the renewal procedure and by the way, pay a small fee to your rental agency adored ...
I will not detail the various situations (Assured Shorthold Tenancies, Fixed Term ...) but the idea is there.

... really good!

In addition, the rental agency (or owner if any) do not forget to pay you a visit every three months to check that all is well in the owner's home ... the agency does not fail to remind you that the property does not belong to you in passing. You can obviously
refuse otherwise extend the deadline.
This intrusion into your private life is hard to bear ...

The end of the lease

As you are under a fixed term contract, you can not terminate it early without the consent of the owner!
No notice, no justificatory reasons ... no, you are required to pay rent until completion. The owner is not required to seek a replacement ...

Imagine when you're like in my case and you find the perfect purchase in October and that your lease runs until April of next year ...

You found the gem, what is next?

You certainly found your property through an estate agent because the transactions are missed by them in England: No Person to Person!
worry, however: unlike the situation in France, they are actually vendors that pay the middleman!

agencies are anyway, as a rule very professional.
Next step then: you need to find a lawyer ! (Solicitor)
If there are many English Notary (Notaries), the lawyer which is responsible for ensuring the smooth operations of legal ... it is understandable therefore that the profession in France is encouraged to try to break the monopoly of notaries in this area. Another essential element

unless you do not use a mortgage (veinard!), you need to find a financial advisor !
Whether you find your credit (mortgage) on the Internet, whether you go directly to your bank or you go through this adviser, you need a broker or pay a processing fee equivalent.
financial advisor will explore the market and be your primary contact! You will have almost no contact with the bank that will provide you the loan!

I'm not Croesus, I need a loan!

Forget immediately fixed-rate loans at 25/30 years. In practice, English renegotiate their loans very frequently, 2 to 5 years.
The longer the fixed rate loan, the greater the initial rate will be high.
The reality is in fact not negotiate a credit for 4-5 years.
The offer is wide, competition is very important, but the rates are not ridiculous.
Currently, rates range between 4-6% over 5 years.

And after?

After your refund back on the standard variable rate for the lending institution.
If rates soar, you may find yourself in a real difficulty in repayment. And there, as the recent crisis has shown, the loop default, expropriation can engage.
compensation? British banks are still far less rigid than in France. In spirit, it's still up to borrow to assess his own ability to repay.
bank may of course refuse to reimburse you if the risk is too important, but flexibility is still much greater. In France it is 33% debt ... ... and this final point, you earn the minimum wage, or 100,000 euros per year.

I have my credit, I have my lawyer, here we go?

There is strangely no sale agreement or an equivalent procedure in practice to "secure" purchase. As long as you have not signed the final contract, the seller is free to sell to others in theory. In reality, this will not happen because that agencies put their reputations at stake and it is not really allowed to play one-upmanship. The prices are not entirely free.

What is fundamentally strange is that the procedure is completely written , llutôt light for the purchaser and the exchange occurs primarily via telephone and correspondence. I personally have not met my financial advisor, or my lawyer.
Since the visit of the property, the only time I saw the estate agent was at the keys ...
There is no signature of definitive measure, here is "exchange contracts "(we exchange contracts) which date is generally consistent at the time of actual purchase (date of completion), the day the chain of moves takes place.
This does not mean that the procedure is slightly strictly speaking, it simply means that those who work the most are your representatives. Just the fact of agreeing on a date is an incredible puzzle what to make to accommodate all the players in the chain of move.

you moving!

Needless to bother you too much on contracts electricity, gas or water, generally those of the former owner will follow automatically, but nothing obliges you to keep!
It remains to find you kind souls to help with the move.

volunteers to help me? A
yer good heart, sir, lady! I am moving at 500m from my house! : D

Agenda 21 and the Kyoto Protocol

Agenda 21 is a program of action for Sustainable Development established in 1992 at the Rio Summit de Janeiro, Brazil. The number 21 is the 21st century. This text has been signed by 173 countries. It highlights the need to fight against poverty, environmental degradation and the development of a solidarity economy. Since 1992, Agenda 21 are born worldwide.
source of the map: http://www.agenda21france.org/images/cartes/map_europe.jpg

About 300 organizers 21 are in place in France. In the Loire, this is the case, for example Angers, Nantes .... They can be driven by regions, departments, municipalities or intermunicipal (Communities of metropolitan, urban community, a community of Commons).

Click on the document below to see the Agenda 21 at different scales in France

To grow sustainably, we must reconcile three spheres: environmental, social and economic
- limit the negative impact of our activities on the environment,
- promote the well being of all,
- ensuring economic strength.

protocol Kyoto is the result of negotiations following the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. It was signed 11 December 1997 and entered into force February 16, 2005. It sets quotas for each country's emissions of greenhouse gases, expressed in tonnes of CO2. The 183 signatory countries have made commitments on emissions of greenhouse gas emissions:
Click on the document below to see the problems of emissions of greenhouse gases at different scales

In 2008, a global market for emission rights is born:
- If a country emits less gas than its quota, it obtains the rights issue. These rights are expressed in CO ² the difference between the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by this country and the quota to be met.
- If a country exceeds its quota of several tons of CO2, he can buy emission rights to another country, thus avoiding punishment.
Since 2005, this market already exists between the major European companies. So the richest countries like the U.S. can buy a right to pollute!

greenhouse gases s wanders (GHGs) are gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect. The increase in their concentration in the atmosphere is causing global warming. The main greenhouse gases emitted by human activity are:

  • water vapor (H2O),
  • carbon dioxide (CO2);
  • methane (CH4);
  • nitrous oxide ( or N2O);
  • ozone (O3)

demanded women?

- the right to vote and hold public office,
- the right to work, vocational training
- the cessation of discrimination in the workplace.

And then?

A brief history of the program of the 3rd class:

Two years later, the last Sunday in February 1913 Within the framework of the peace movement that was developing on the eve of the First World War, Russian women celebrated their first International Women's Day.

In 1917 while 2 million Russian soldiers had been killed, Russian women again chose the last Sunday in February to strike and claim "bread and peace" .

Four days later, it was the "February Revolution": The Tsar Nicolas II abdicated and the provisional government granted voting rights to women. This Sunday history, celebrated Feb. 23 by the Julian calendar in use in Russia, fell on March 8 ... the Gregorian calendar used elsewhere in Europe.

Finally, in December 1977 the General Assembly of the UN adopted a resolution establishing a United Nations Day for Women's Rights and International Peace, whose date was left to the discretion Member States. France has recognized this day in 1982.

And today, what do we do that day?

Organized in developed countries as in developing countries, this day has a global dimension. Increasingly, the International Women's Day is the perfect time to reflect on progress, request changes and to celebrate acts of courage and determination of ordinary women who played an extraordinary role in the history of human women.

The International Women's Day is still relevant today as equality between men and women is still not reached.

In Burkina Faso, Algeria, Laos, Russia, Ukraine, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan and Belarus, the International Day of Women's Rights is declared holiday.

Record updated GI meeting

Meeting of January 16 Hagnerelle with Michel and Laurent Wirth, inspectors general of national education - history and geography.


The purpose of this interview was to ascertain what is the current thinking of the Inspector General about the reform of the Capes. Generally no definitive indication has been supplied or the reform agenda or the terms of the tests, the final decision in these two areas not covered by the GI. On the other hand the general framework of the Capes, as defined by the department is obviously one in which the integrated reflection of the GI.

Program:


It seems certain, contrary to what had been the first department of doctrine - and as Mark had suggested Sherringham - that questions will be selected within the program for secondary schools - those post-baccalaureate classes no longer used for reference. However
order not to complicate the idea of preparation would not hold an annual question period in history (and therefore also because of the principle of parity 4 questions in geography) but to make a roll (2 questions of history / 2 questions about geography?). The project to strengthen the hand of the ancient and medieval history in high school would not be confined to the issues currently addressed in college.
The program thus defined serve as a reference to the written and spoken.

The concrete modalities of such rotation has not been discussed but the matter would likely renew the president of the jury.

Comment : One can only welcome the abandonment of the will to take all the curricula of secondary reference. However, the solution of "rolling" implies that some periods in history and geography in some areas will not be considered during the preparation of the competition, which in practice may lead to a marked weakening of the disciplinary content of the competition. At the same time prepare 8 issues in 5 months is mission impossible, especially if those questions lead to exercises similar to those we know today.
At this stage - but it takes time - reflection on the nature of the tests, defining expectations seems a track priority to find a balanced solution to the question of the competition program.

-Written tests:

The writing always has two compositions in one story, one in geography. Clearly the will of the IG is to not tie the hands of the jury and its president. The wording is therefore probably indicative ... So one of two topics would include at least the documents, the other may have only read "Dry". Furthermore the subject may include (or not) an epistemological component. The track of a specific issue was raised at the meeting. But no doctrine still seems set on the matter.

Comment: If we remain within the framework of questioning s IG, afterwards and in the absence of precise framing of these events and topics zero, the formula outlined by the IG seems unclear, particularly as regards the presence of an epistemological questions (provided in the context map of the DGES) and how it will surgery. Proceeding to a draw (or choice assumed) and to induce one of two events (that is to say, history or geography) the epistemological questioning by the presence of a document inviting would probably be more explicit. It can be seen how badly this epistemological dimension can be present outside of documentary support, its inclusion in a label "dry" Essay belonging to a type of exercise that is not part of normal learning methodology of both disciplines. As for the idea that it be a specific issue is a great risk to make a marginal exercise.

Oral tests:

-Lesson:

Consistent shown to recruit teachers - "State employer" makes its hiring - the oral lesson should follow some rules of the examination competitions - while bearing in mind that candidates have the same experience. While completing an internship is not mandatory to take the examination but have performed better participate preparation. Furthermore the master courses are designed as a continuation of those of the EU pre-professional whose discount GI development.
The referral program is that of writing (and not the entire program of high schools and colleges). Presumably, only the practice of juries truly determine the extent actually granted to the educational component.

Comment: We can only reiterate our concern over this latest flap raises sharply the question of criteria of objectification of ratings and reiterate a few hours or weeks in internship observation in practice even in shared responsibility are not sufficient experience to enter a genuine pedagogical questions and reflect on their teaching practices. The oral exams must remain tests of reflection and organization of subject content on a specific theme.

-Knowledge of the education system: The definition

this event completely outside the GI history and geography. A particular group is working. One point seems clear: the jury of this event will be part of jury of the contest. It will be composed of historians and geographers - aggregated or certified - headteachers, IA DSEN ... Again evolution of the race will likely depend on the doctrine that will give the jury and the practice of interviewing early years ...

Comment: We can not, for our part, recall that our opposition to the event at the blurred edges in its current definition and regret the excessive importance of the coefficient which would be vested.

Update:

Since that meeting further information was communicated to us that Ahmuf has partly been made public.

1 / The number of questions of the contest is not determined by the statutory instrument (the formula that would seem to be retained would be "questions"). However the link with the curriculum would be reiterated that imply the disjunction Caps / aggregation.
2 / Any reference to grade level in the general framework of the disciplinary oral (lesson) should disappear. It should be noted that the educational or pedagogical choices can be a Part of the interview with the jury.
In both cases it is therefore the jury and its president who, largely, would establish the doctrine and practice of juries that influence it one way or another, however, if the reform comes into force.
3 / Finally, the coefficient of the test of knowledge of the education system would be more than 2 (cons 3 in the original project)
3 + 3 is written, oral disciplinary 4, Knowledge of the education system 2.
The exact nature of the tests and program of oral (or that of writing all the programs in schools and colleges) remain unclear and should not be resolved at this point.
