dangereuse Siamois ...

par Jose Fernandez

Bart de Wever est un grand poète. Il aime se engaging in a passion, that of small press citations, here or elsewhere. In Latin, preferably ... Or in English as well, "less is more", for example. Or in German: Belgien, Europa Kranker Mann "... And he loves the pictures too strong: and in his latest exclusive interview with La Libre of 29/01/11, he gives his view of the current situation, a vision that I describe as of anatomical ...

Good news, Bart De Wever is not to split the country! No, no, he says, "it will not work." For "Flanders and Wallonia are like Siamese twins, and their relationship is Brussels.
.. Pardon?? But Bart, what do you do ... Do I remind you here that the statutes specify them in your party 1.1 (1) ? I know that strength to rewrite history and manipulate the media and your Flemish electorate, 3 / 4 of your voters are convinced that voting for the VER is a vote for a the neo-liberal course with a hint of regionalism, but light ... Recently, while talking with one of your constituents, I realized this, Bart, they do not know ... very few have read the articles The NVA and most even believe that this separatist obsession would be a scarecrow erected by the French ... Siamese
therefore, united by a slender cord of flesh Brussels. You know, the Siamese have difficulties to live long, when they share common organs, and very often, one must solve a tricky separation. Scalpel, as it should. Was cut and the bond between Siamese to restore their operational autonomy and enable them to live.
What is the "link" in this story is of course less glorious ... Simple piece of flesh torn, he finished sanguignolant in the trash.
So that you see Brussels, Bart ... A simple link, annoying, embarrassing, disabling to allow this "autonomy" that you promised your constituents.
Metaphor "Siamese" is bad because it only polarize the conflict resolution on two Belgian institutional entities, a Flemish liberal-nationalist, the other French-speaking Socialist.
It is wrong because it implies correctly that cutting the "link" in Brussels, we get the final two distinct, independent and autonomous.

I suggest another metaphor, that of a single body, Belgium, including the brain, stomach, lungs and heart would work closely together to enable the body to develop harmoniously. I'm good Prince, Bart, you can choose the body of your choice to symbolize Flanders. But I must confess that I have a preference for the lungs to Brussels. Body ultimate exchange with the outside, as Brussels is with the world around us. Vital organ for life, the air can be stored and breathing is a function that, constantly renewing itself, provides the body the fuel it needs to live, as Brussels gives its inhabitants and the country 's daily energy due to the thousands of jobs and businesses that have chosen this city-region. Body split, the right lung and left, as the Flemish and French double culture that shaped the identity of this region for centuries. The lungs do not have to worry about how the heart works, or brain. Let's say that somehow, the human body is already causing, regionalized. Cons but, if these bodies do not function well together, the body dies. Never mind that wants to keep his heart beating or the brain to think, or the stomach to digest.
This metaphor suits me much better, because for me the future of Belgium through a country (the Belgian body ") 4 et ses régions ("les organes de ce corps")

SHAME SHAME: un message

SHAME was the name of the march that brought together this Sunday more than 35,000 demonstrators, including many Pro Bruxsellois who came to help the Democratic booster shot.


Together we accused:

SHAME on our political system, reform by reform, established two sovereign regions that have vampirized Belgium.

SHAME on our 7 party negotiators who lack the resources to get out of the hole they have dug.

SHAME nationalists who have lost the pleasure of living together

SHAME communalism language that prevents this country is managed properly.


course, the claim "a government now - nu een regering" can not be taken literally. This is not to any government that would reflect what the roses, but the paralysis is unacceptable.

nationalists, separatists and other pessimists argue that Belgium is dead. That the Belgian nation have been replaced by a de facto nation Flemish and French-speaking nation. But most of the Flemings to take Belgium. Even 42% of the VER. As for an independence movement in French, he does not exist. But there is indeed a Belgian nation. It was enough to be here in this human tide of people throughout the darkened streets of the Act between the ring and the fiftieth anniversary. The show was great.


Belgium heal, stronger and more vigorous than ever. Provided that the citizens realize the obvious: the major parties community, of whatever kind, Belgium and poison are dying slowly. They are stuck in the cobweb French Dutch cons they have woven themselves and can not backtrack. Yet the solution is obvious: if we want this country survives, it must be thoroughly renovate and get rid of the EU system. Pro Bruxsel showed loud and clear at the event.


made of 4 1 COUNTRY REGIONS equivalent, who all live in a community, the community of the Belgians, regardless of the language they speak.


As usual, the media has largely skipped our message, but no matter: Tens of thousands have seen a lot and we have welcomed to our constructive solution. Why

major parties and their media do not they want such a solution? Without doubt continue to divide and conquer - presumably to continue to operate Brussels (27 billion of wealth created in Brussels are recorded in Flanders and Wallonia) - presumably to put Brussels under the tutelage of Flanders and Wallonia, and thus make their colony.


To hear the tenors of the major parties, they are the ras-le-bol, but envisage anything to break the deadlock. They take note and continue to look like china dogs in appalling inaction.

One day perhaps, will we have such a walk where it will be the Brussels who want their voices heard in order to escape the fate that they concocted without asking their opinion.

One day perhaps, "Brussels, whatever their political stripe, they finally understand that no party can communitarised garantir leur avenir. Car est toujours le communitarinism conflicting. PRO BruXsel resolument reste donc le parti de l'avenir de tous les Bruxellois.

SHAME: a message

SHAME was the name of the march that Sunday more than 35,000 men in Brussels leg brought, including a fair number Bruxselaars Pro, for a democratic 'pikuur "to the policy administration.

Together, we regret to hear

Shame for a political system that, from one to the other reform, two practically sovereign provinces have created together
Belgium do bleed to death;

Shame on the seven parties to negotiate and that just does not get out of the pit they have dug themselves;

Shame on the nationalists who see no salvation nor more happiness in living

Shame on the communitarianism - via taalaanhorigheid - that the country makes it impossible to properly controlled be.


course may require "a government now - maintenant un gouvernement", which immediately demanded was not granted. Such a government would have very short life toebeschoren. But the current total paralysis is certainly unacceptable.

The nationalists, separatists and other pessimists now claim that Belgium is dead and buried. Today, the Belgian state would in fact already been replaced by a Flemish and a French state. Has now shown that the vast majority of Flemish people of Belgium holds. Even 42 pc of the NVA supporters.

An independence movement along the French-speaking region does not exist. What does exist, the Belgian nation. For those still in doubt: that the parade Sunday, the long string of enthusiastic people who went to North Station via the Rue de la Loi to the Cinquantenaire thick put in the spotlight. A beautiful scene.


Belgium and stronger than ever recover from this painful impasse arise. Provided that the public understands that the major political (community) party, of any kind whatsoever, Belgium and ruining its survival Long-term risking. Those parties are caught up in the dead end of a two-fold thought - Dutch to French - a paved street that they themselves have no way but for which it was conceived. Backwards for those parties not an option. However, the solution at hand: if we want the land continues, completely renovated and rid of that useless linguistic division and strife. This was the message that Bruxsel Pro has fully Sounding during the demonstration.


COUNTRY 1, with 4 equivalent REGIONS together a community, especially the Belgian community, language is also used.


As usual, the media ignore our message, but tens of thousands have been able to read and many people have come to congratulate us for this new approach and constructive solution.

Why do the political parties and the media do not pay attention to that message? Well, the "divide and rule 'politics remain profitable in the short term and one can continue to exploit shamelessly Brussels (27 billion of wealth produced in Brussels, are taken into account in Flanders and Wallonia). And so it is good for them and useful to further under Brussels Flemish and Walloon guardianship continues.


If we tenors of the major parties believe they have the "trop is too much" message really understood. Nowhere, however, we hear that they urgently want to get out of the impasse. They "take note" of what took place but are diametrically opposed to each other without wanting to give up a millimeter of their ever-changing needs.

Perhaps there will one day where the people of Brussels who will come will argue against all that is being arranged for Brussels without being asked for her opinion.

Perhaps there will one day where the locals of whatever political persuasion they are, will understand that no party, on a Community footing is likely to ensure their future. Because the starting point for every communitarianism is always based on a conflict model.

Pro Bruxsel blijft vandaag, meer dan OOIT of van de Partij voor de Toekomst Brusselse Bevolking.

Anti-politique? Anti-Flamand? Non, citoyen, tout simplement ...

by Jose Fernandez

That is, the planned mobilization on 23 January at the initiative of SHAME movement has occurred. And sorrowful souls who imagined, as political scientist back in La Libre, "a movement born on the canvas often just become reality ..." are to rank ... 30, 34, 38, 50,000? Whatever, this is a success in terms of mobilization and organization, with no major incidents were reported. For nearly

two weeks we have read the "paper" denouncing what many called a "mindless movement" (copyright Euroblog, specialist self-proclaimed our country for our neighbors hexagonal). In bulk, their considerations mainly revolved around the theme slogan of the absence of clear and anti-political movement that assumed primary "claim an immediate government is distressing, what matters is the project ... "," this movement is anti-political and therefore dangerous, because Poujadist ...", "our politicians have been working for months to find a solution," "this event will bring together not only nostalgic Francophone Belgium Papa" etc. ...

Thus, flourished here and there in the newspapers and on the canvas "10 reasons not to go to this event" ...


All these analysts are wrong, and heavily. Because the movement comes from the action, and not vice versa. A little less analysis, and a little more neck ....., it would be good from time to time.
First, as the figures show (cf. survey Le Soir / Dedicated), although there was "a bit of everything" at this event: Francophone Walloons and Brussels (44%!), The Dutch- Flanders (25%). There were also many young students and families with children and retirees. And yes, yes, some "some Belgian" in the heap.

Bart De Wever, who was quick to remind that the only expression of the people is one that emerges from the polls (only in Flemish that concerns you ... do not forget Bart), and that an event that gathers 80% Francophone (sic) and 20% of Flemish (re-sic) shows how urgent it is to reform the country, has once again shown how much he despises Brussels and its inhabitants. Because 44% of "Brussels" Bart, it's not "44% of Francophones. I was at this event, and the least we can say is that there were quite a lot of Dutch-speaking Flemings in Flanders or Brussels Brussels (and yes, they are Dutch and Brussels).

short, this event was fairly representative of those who have not provided that the fate of the brave: "Brussels. A little flat and regret all the same: few young or less young people coming, like me, immigration, were present. If you read me, do not forget, this country, this city, are also yours!

Brussels, the center of all the issues (and the failure of the last note Vande Lanotte). Brussels that nobody comes to ask his opinion. In the current negotiations (or future), the fate of Brussels is / will be negotiated by Di Rupo (Mons), Reynders (Liege), Javaux (Amay) and Milquet (Mrs. Wallon Corridor Rhode-St-Genèse). In other words, these are ready for any concessions to jettison the Brussels region and maintain their pre-Walloon square, from which they draw their electoral success ...

Then those who believed that this approach "anti-everything" was dangerous, if not populist, have seen the messages, although admittedly somewhat idealistic and romantic organizers, had no smell instead of "all rotten" . To be more precise and resume Philippe Geluck (but what he could well do this one here ... It is almost an album that comes out of the Cat?), The event was very contrary to Policy (note the capital P), in the sense that it gives citizens a certain word and the right to say "leaders of this country, now need to recover from any emergency at work and out of this situation. "

Finally, yes, the "message" might seem diffuse, certainly. But beyond the blurring of genres (such as some protesters wore unfortunately slogans anti-Flemish and therefore do not understand anything at all), this spontaneous, self-generated, the result of the generation of a web some form of globalization making citizens' voices, clearly shows that now, what happens in newsrooms and offices of political parties is no longer enough to fool the average citizen. Participatory society is born ... For those who minimize the scope of 40 or 50,000 people in the street dangerously underestimate all those who spoke and were not present: Facebook, forums, Twitter, ... The real significance of this movement affects probably 200 or 300,000 people ... The day this people will find a way to translate his feelings at the polls, this movement will weigh all his weight ...


This leads me to conclude by addressing what certainly missed this event: and now what can you do? Solutions, where you see them? Yves Leterme, speaking to young organizers today (The A - JT) remarked that it was their damn complicated reform of the state, but so necessary for all citizens. And one thing was to say "naked, stop" and the other to answer the question "what solutions do you propose?". A crisis is possible if the sterile confrontation between communities is finally leaving room for responsible cooperation between regions. If the deed and regional phenomenon is known for all regions, including the Brussels region, and regional entities empowered financially empowered and real, in a federal Belgium which we have already identified those areas that want to do together: finance, justice, safety, defense and security ...

The last article of Alain Maskens , sharp analysis and perfectly relevant to current blockages, leading the way, already advocated since 2009 by Pro Bruxsel. The solution exists, it will take courage and political will to implement it. For Brussels, certainly, but also for the future of this country that some would like to dismember sans vergogne. "One country, four regions / Un pays, quatre régions.

How Do Fireplace Heat Exchangeras Work

Of little people and big fish ....

by Thierry Vanhecke

It is shameful how politicians respond to this demonstration.

The political class does not clearly understand what is going on and that's very bad for our country.
are small politicians who gain power by groups against each other to set up.
are great politicians who are able to unite peoples (Mandela, Gandhi ,...)

If you're in a marriage notice that a lot of money to spend then you should resolve internally and not immediately think of separation because that always seems to cost more money.

The merit of Van De Lanotte that he calculated the cost of Flanders.

What we ask is:
- more reasonable
- reconciliation instead of "apartheid"
- no big egos
- more sympathy and warmth

This protest radiated that out, but "they" have apparently not understood.


Bart drink wine rather than water.
I have a message for him:
If you are satisfied with water, you're lucky if you get wine.
If you desire wine and you get water, you are unhappy.
Bart is doomed to be unhappy .... His oily fish will never
vet genoeg zijn. Zijn
ingeworteld wantrouwen zal een een blijvende splijtzwam Vormen ...

SHAME: j'y etais.

by Marie Gennotte

This event was a success story in human terms.

I had forgotten how the Belgians are friendly, creative, peaceful, whatever language they speak.
Thousands of people were marching all together to express their ras-le-bol before a political deadlock which they see no end.

There may be no sequel to this event, just as there is no end in deadlock.
For precisely the Community approach seems to be coming to end the impasse. None of the politicians who have been elected can not defend the interests of the community in a community that has completely radicalized. After living

yesterday's demonstration, I think the Belgians really deserve another policy. So why not
4 real integral regions in the country and end the community whose skills would go to the regions?
And why not a national constituency to remain federal matters?
At the point where we are.

Long Dressis For 13 Year Olds

Un pays, quatre Regions Solidaires

by Alain Maskens

The francophone parties really do not understand.

The facts cry out: the organization of the Belgian political system based primarily on a community language, the operation is still blocking most of the state. Since the elections of June 2007: 1325 days without a federal project.

On 23 January, the cry of the street was equally deafening antagonism Community and endless blockades must cease.

KVS At January 21, artists have also sung, screamed, danced, written in Flemish and French: Cultural feeds interbreeding and solidarity grows a culture.

Yet during that time ... MR, PS, Ecolo and HRC announce a major new powwow purely French: "The French will think again about their common space." To this end, they will install on January 25 a "commission Wallonia Brussels, attended by four members of each of these four parties. Unlike the commission created in 2007 for the same purpose, no member of civil society was invited to be a member.

But: if a project Wallonia Brussels "What about 50% of Brussels whose mother tongue is not French? What about the Germanophones? The working group could be included, for example, two Dutch parliamentarians in Brussels and a member of the speaking Community?

case to appease the linguistic nationalism of a part of Flanders, so why play the same set of linguistic decline?

case to avoid co-management from Brussels through Flanders, why not waive the co-management of the French Community in Brussels ...?

case to create a project innovative, why exclude civil society, only able to offer a different perspective?

In fact, and this episode illustrates once again the major political actors, both French and Dutch, were shut up é s in a dual-monocommunautaire crippling. They seem unaware that in real life, the family, work, culture, language homogeneity is increasingly the exception. They will therefore never the ability to innovate, to imagine institutions outside the system which is now deadlocked over urgent than ever.

Certainly they are the elect of the nation - but at no time voters had a choice between a Belgium-based antagonisms language or a Belgium-based Regions together. This crucial question: is there a Belgian project based on two competing Communities or Regions who each take their diversity, this issue was not addressed in the last election debates. Normal: they have directed that the parties in power, all communitarized in a separate electoral system in two too. Similarly, this issue is absent from the major debates and editorials Sunday.

This debate would it be taboo?

Only parties young people born in the abundance of cultural diversity, can offer a radically different approach, adapted for Europe of the 21st century.

is the rationale for Pro Bruxsel institutional project and its "one country, four regions in solidarity" ( http://www.probruxsel.be/index.php?option=com_content&task = view & id = 35 & Itemid = 73 ).

SOLVING A PROBLEM FOR A BETTER VIEW OF PRODUCTION PRACTICES

When we approached the Lean to put into practice on our development projects, we will discuss in the following areas:

• the definition of value ,
• the value stream mapping ,
• the streaming ,
• the stream and pulled
• the development.

This approach, very focused on the process, led us to resume tools from Lean that were effective in others and to implement them at home: value stream mapping , kanban, just in time , autonomation , jidoka , andon , etc. ...

This has been grafted onto our already long practice of agile software development , centered on the -eXtreme Programming (first!) And Scrum (for shape ) . Naturally, the meeting ground of these two approaches was the Lean Software Development.

We are proud to have achieved very good results on large projects in areas in principle not very receptive to these practices and have been welcomed by our customers for keeping the milestones, the quality of our products and transparency.

Yet we still hang out longstanding problems (in terms of years!) we slow down, reduce our performance and attack our morale.

How is this possible when we practice Agile software development and Lean which has slowly evolved to adapt to our field? Are we really on track?

foreign aid and research helped us realize that we practiced a Lean school. This practical approach is to enrich our after-eXtreme Programming and Scrum with Lean tools that have proven without assimilating the heart of Lean .

Since we are trying the Lean approach as follows:

• visualize the output to reveal problems ,
• respond immediately, then
• solve the problems one by one
• to improve practices.

Our previous initiatives have already led to "visualize the production to reveal the problems and respond immediately." We continue to refine this practice. By cons, we are now trying to seriously tackle the pan of Lean we neglected, ie solve problems one by one to improve practices .

Warning, this is not the retrospective iteration or the collection of obstacles by the ScrumMaster at daily meetings with the aim of smoothing the road in front of the team!

This is a discipline every day for everyone at all levels , which is to always have a problem to solve. This problem must be analyzed, dissected and understood to be resolved eventually if the return on investment warrants.

For tough problems, the approach is structured . For example, for us it is to follow the following steps:

• describe the problem as we perceive;
• identify and quantify the impacts the problem for our customer and our organization
• describe how things should proceed, and describe how they actually occur. Describe the gap between the two.
• identify the root causes of the problem and weigh their impact on the problem;
• for each root cause, identify solutions candidates who would eliminate ;
• classify the candidate solutions based on their cost of implementation and their impact on solving the problem;
• implement solutions by return on Investment descending until the payback is worth no more pain;
• if they were effective, standardize the implementation of new practices;
• connect lessons.

This individual discipline and team helps us now to solve (among others) a problem that we drag the past year. For the first time in years, we see a real improvement of this phenomenon and for a very low investment. This opens up good prospects for improvement!

The most motivating in my opinion is that this discipline is an expert school. Indeed, since it requires going through a deep and comprehensive understanding problems it pushes players to develop their approach to expertise. Even if the resolution of the problem is not triggered by lack of ROI, the players will not make the same mistake next time. Since all are involved in this discipline, all are encouraged to develop their skills.

Finally, it is no more than apply a "good process makes a good product" but rather "to apply an approach that develops experts who will develop a good process that makes a good product " (you still following me?) . The primary effect sought is the involvement and the skills development . The side effect is improved practices .

With this new perspective, we try to move from an approach of improving discontinuous made personal initiatives based on intuition to a collective process of continuous improvement rigorous and disciplined.

This discipline also clarifies the role of "leaders". For them, this is teaching approach to their team and "challenger" to their teammates that they analyze and solve problems. The "leader" is itself "challenge" by its leader / coach / manager / mentor, and so on ...

A future post will be dedicated to it leadership, as described by Scrum, by the extreme Programming, by Lean and as we practice it.

Thanks again for foreign aid!

Speech from the Yellow Peril

A text by Francis Lachapelle

Recently, there has been a resurgence of the theory of Yellow Peril, mainly in the form of a dragon and dragon economic ideology. On December 2 was an auspicious day. The morning in La Presse , Lysiane Gagnon in her article "The ravages of Wikileaks' is the spice in his criticism of Wikileaks by running:" You almost want to wish them, to these irresponsible minds, to live one day at a world's only superpower will be China or Russia and (...), where the dominant values are those of totalitarianism. "



lunch I get the new edition of the newspaper Les Affaires . On page 3, Michel Maziade, scientific director of Laval University, speaks of science and research in China. The reporter's question: "Should we be afraid of China?" To which Dr. Maziade replies: "Yes, we must be afraid of China." Further, while Dr. Maziade explains that China pushes us to rethink our science policy, he ends the interview with: "If nothing is done to enhance science and if we do not develop niches of excellence, we ' impoverishes and we lose the economic war. ".

In both cases I totally agree with the content, the arguments deployed by the author, is the container, the discursive strategies mobilized worries me. A little further still Affairs The three pages on corporate espionage, "Caution, a spy is stalking you." No mention of China, however, on page 13 which is intended as a spy over 101 in the drawing, the characters are all Asian.

The collective memory still surfs on the current wave of yellow peril comeback during economic depressions. Wave that began in 1999. That year, the American scientist of Chinese origin and official federal, Wen Ho Lee was accused of having leaked nuclear secrets to his country of origin and spent nine months in solitary confinement until the prosecution ultimately abandons virtually all charges against him. During his nine months in prison, a former FBI agent was going to suggest that it was reasonable to estimate at 100,000 the number of Sino-Americans working as intelligence officer for China. We even told that Chinese girls very attractive and luscious, but mostly spies on behalf of the Beijing government, once naturalized American, were a husband industrial, scientific or official in a position to better carry out its acts of industrial espionage.

It is interesting to note that while the Maoist China was undergoing the Cultural Revolution (1966-76), Japan's aggressive performances came to life in America and Europe. On the threshold of the 1970s, evoking the Japanese economic miracle was soon to become the latest expression and most objective of the new Yellow Peril. "Thus was reborn the hydra Japanese who already terrified Europeans during the inter-war period: the Japanese miracle, the Japanese challenge, the Century Japan: with these vouchers shocks the world has suddenly realized the weight reached by the Country of the Rising Sun after twenty years of hard work, but discreet. "could be seen on highways U.S. multitudes of titles bumper hanging on the bumper of pick-ups from the west coast saying Toyota - Datsun - Honda - and Pearl Harbor.

be seen in the light of these two waves that the economic factor seems to direct the movement of the pendulum. Closer to home, what is worrisome is when journalists and scientists mobilized the discourse of the Yellow Peril to serve their purpose, point-impact, awareness, etc.. It is even more worrying when they do not seem to realize what they do.

It is undeniable that China poses challenges to our societies, our economies, our gains. In this situation, the discourse of threat of war, the yellow peril can be used to mobilize, sensitize policy makers, opinion leaders and the population, but it builds and fosters an attitude of mistrust towards China. As the ideas do not disappear with the movement of the pendulum in terms of such discursive strategies can in no way serve our interests. The role of China in the globalized world is changing and we can play a constructive influence.


PS. In his recent edition (4-10 December), The Economist has a 14-page report on the dangers of a rising China.

PPS. Journalist at La Presse, Lysiane Gagnon with whom I had some email exchanges for less muscular in the hours that followed my reading of his article in the December 2 changes of tone in the conclusion to his paper of 11 December: But China always surprise his admirers as his critics. It is therefore unwise to predict the future ... "A return to rational discourse.
