April 18 2011: De ciborum pretio

De ciborum pretio [Food prices on the rise]

Nummariae Mundanae Praeses Robertus Zoellick affirmavit ciborum cuncta pretia 36 centesimis (36%) hoc anno aucta esse.
 [The President of the World Bank confirmed today that all prices in food had risen 36 cents <36%> this year.]

Itaque a mense Iunio anni 2010 hominum 44 miliones in maximam egestatem pervenerunt in orbe terrarum ob hoc pretiorum incrementum.
 [Therefore, since June 2010, 44 million people in the world reached the point to critical starvation on account of this increase in prices.]

Quotannis Index Pretiorum ad res alimentarias pertinentium a Nummaria Mundana conficitur
 [Every year, the Pricing Index is calculated as it pertains to food supply by the World Bank]

ex quo comperitur hominum 1.200 miliones paupertatem pati nec satis cibi habere.
 [from which it has been discovered that 1.2 billion people now live in poverty or do not have an adequate amount of food.]

Etiam putatur ab 10 cent.(10%) incremento decem miliones ad paupertatem impelli.
 [Some even think that the 10 million people have been forced to poverty by this 10% increase.]

Maiora incrementa anno 2010 acceperunt maizium (74%) frumentum (69%) soia Asiana (36%) saccharum (21%).
 [The largest increases of 2010 affected the prices of corn (74%), grain (69%), soy bean (36%) and sugar (21%).]

Pauperrimae nationes inflatione alimentaria durius afficiuntur quam divites.
 [The poorest nations are now been affected by inflation more seriously than the wealthy ones.]

Ciborum pretium non longe distat a petrolei pretio
 [The price of food is not remotely unrelated to the price of petroleum]

quod sua vice ob res politicas labefactantes in Africa Septentrionali incrementatur.
 [which has increased in turn because of the conflicting events in northern Africa.]

Perturbationes politicae non gratiis aguntur.
 [The political disturbances continue, but not without a price.]

April 17, 2011: Veri Finni triumphant

Veri Finni triumphant [The True Finn Party prevails]

Secudum primos effectus suffragandi, quintam fere partem in Finnia habitorum suffragiorum cepit nationalistica atque eurosceptica factio Verorum Finnorum,
 [According to the first results of the election, the nationalistic and anti-European party, the True Finns, took nearly a fifth of voters living in Finland]

idem ut alterae duae maximi momenti factiones Finniae - Coalitio Nationalistica (NCP) et Democratae Sociales.
 [more the two largest Finnish political parties as of today, the Nationalistic Coalition (NCP) and the Socialist Democrats.]

Fieri ergo potest ut aut ipsis Veris Finnis detur munus regimen creandi (si, omnibus suffragiis calculatis, victores ex electione discesserint) 
 [Therefore it may turn out that the ability to form a government will be granted to the True Finns themselves, if, after all the votes have been counted, they emerge from the elections as the victors.]

aut ab alia factione victrice ad negotiationes coalitioni regiminali constituendae invitentur. 
 [or that they might invited by another victorious party to negotiations whereby a coalition government can be formed.]

Qua re effici potest, cum scilicet Veri Finni regimen intrent, ut... subsidia Unionis Europaeae iam Lusitaniae (Portugaliae) promissa, necnon similia futura subsidia aliis terris crisi fiscali laborantibus danda, minime dentur.
 [It is a matter of how this can be accomplished, since clearly an administration run by the True Finn party will enter with the goal of supporting only the smallest amount of financial help already promised by the European Union to Portugal, even while many similar aid packages may be granted to other nations struggling from a financial crisis.]

Veri Finni (quibus praeest Timo Soini, photographemate monstratus, recte se suosque "equum nigrum" electionis fore praedicens) volunt enim ut subsidia pecuniaria aliis terris UE danda pendeant a plebis scitu civium Finnorum. 
 [The True Finns, over whom Timo Soini presides (as shown in the picture above, at the time accurately predicting that he and his members would be a dark horse in the election), specifically call for monetary aid now designated to other nations of the EU to be put to a referendum by the Finnish people.]

At incremente per totam Europam spritu eurosceptico atque minore in dies voluntate suam pecuniam alicui aliae terrae crisi laboranti praebere, facile fieri possit, ut Finni subsidia plebis scitu improbent.
 [And little by little, given the anti-European sentiment and lessened enthusiasm over time to give one's own nation's money to another one struggling from a financial crisis, throughout the entirety of Europe, it seems quite clear that the Finns would reject the aid packages in a public referendum.]

Eodem factu subsidia haec omnino improbentur, nam ad ea efficienda necesse est, ut omnes 17 terrae sociae zonae euro iis consentiant. 
 [By this fact along, these types of aid packages will be completely rejected, since specifically, in order for them to be put into effect, all seventeen nations of the Euro Zone must approve of them.]

Finnia autem sola harum omnium terrarum fieri mox potest, ubi subsidia plebis scitu confirmari debeant; 
 [In any event, Finland can soon become the sole nation in the world where the financial packages would have gain approval through public referendum.]

aliis 16 in terris de his rebus consilia capiunt sola regimina. 
 [Agreement on these affairs between the other sixteen nations has so far formed a single framework.]

Rerum Finnorum periti putant tamen negotiationes inter Veros Finnos et alias factiones nullo cum effectu mox finituros
 [Experts in Finnish politics nevertheless think that negotiations between the True Finns and the other political parties will not end with any result in the near future]

et tunc coalitionem factum iri a supradictis duabus factionibus - NCP, Democratis Socialibus - una cum Factione Centrica (quae aliquantulum minus, i.e. circiter 15% suffragiorum collegisse videtur).
 [and that at the point, a coalition of parties will emerge from the above-mentioned two parties, the NCP and Socialist Democrats--united alongside the Centrist Party (which was quite the less successful, that is, it appeared to have gained around 15% of the vote.)]

Talis coaliltio sit similis adhuc Finniam regenti coalitioni quattuor factionum, quarum maxima usque hodie fuerat Factio Centrica.
 [Such a coalition might be similar to the coalition currently ruling Finland, consisting of four parties, whose largest component had beforehand been the Centrist Party, up to today.]

Gotovina ipse nocens habetur,

Nihilo minus iudex, cum sententiam diceret, Franjum Tudjman, praesidem Croatiae defunctum, auctorem horum scelerum appellavit.

quaecumque Gotovina fecisset, cum legibus militaribus congruere.

Gotovina, cum regionem Krajinam Serbis expulsis recuperasset, summus praefectus factus est.
 [Gotovina, when he had recaptured the region of Krajinam and driven the Serbs out, was then promoted to top commander.]

In eo bello plus DC cives Serbici occisi sunt, plus CL milia vi sunt expulsi.
[More than 600 Serbian civilians were killed in this war, while more than 150,000 of them were driven out by force.]

Mense Iulio anno MMI Gotovina fugae se mandavit.
 [In July 2001 Gotovina ordered them into exile.]

Ea causa diu prohibebat, ne de Croatia Unioni Europaeae asciscenda ageretur.
 [For a long time, the situation prevented the European Union from interceding in the matters of Croatia.]

Tamen etiamnunc multi sunt, qui censeant ad Krajinam „liberandam“ omnem vim adhibitam iustam ac legitimam fuisse.
 [Nonetheless, there are still many people who believe that force taken to "liberate" Krajina was justified and legitimate.]

Recuperatio Krajinae pro liberatione nationali habetur.

Zagrabiae, in platea „Ban Jelacic“, per magnum quadrum televisificum multitudo sententiam iudicum percipere potuit.

Et ecclesia catholica et prima ministra Jadranka Kosor poposcerant, ut praefecti liberarentur.

Praeter ceteros Gotovina in Croatia heros nationalis habetur, quod integritatem rei publicae servaverit.

Iam pridie mille fere veterani illius belli pro praefectis reclamaverant :

taciti, vestitu pristino militari induti per mediam Zagrabiam ierunt.

Deinde in aede cathedrali res divina habebatur.
 [At the time, the matter was also proclaimed a divine miracle by the national church.]

Iam antea episcopi catholici gregem suum hortati erant, ut pro praefectis precarentur.

Etiamnunc, anno XVI. post bellum finitum, centenae civium caedes nondum sunt vindicatae.

Dei Napolitanum, Italiae Praesidem, diu servent! [God bless Napolitano, long-time president of Italy]

Centesimo et quinquagesimo anno adveniente ab Italia una natione creata, Praeses Georgius Napolitanus, summa alacritate et studio, iuvenili animo praeditus qui est, omnes cives hortatus est ut, discordiis varii generis amotis, in tota Italia rerum gestarum virorumque illorum memoria revocarent, a quibus patria communis creata est.

Quibus causis tantam existimationem et benevolentiam et in Italia et in ceteris nationibus collegit?

probam vitam agit eiusque uxor (cui Clio nomen est et in imagine cum ipso filioque demonstratur) minime “first lady” videtur esse,

Italiae cives hortatur ut rerum difficultates adeant maxima cum fide et concordia;
 [He presses the citizens of Italy to face their difficult challenges with the utmost sense of faith and unity;]

leges servat omnesque viros in re publica exercitatos admonet ut leges diligenter servent et honeste vitam agant (intelligenti … pauca!).
 [He obeys the laws, and he warns all officials of state to diligently serve the laws and live their lives honestly (easy to understand)!

Id omnes admonens in urbe Augusta Taurinorum (in infima imagine) vehementer Napolitanus commotus est ,
 [Napolitano, while urging this, was passionately moved in his visit to Torino <Augusta Taurinorum>, as pictured in the bottom]

quasi eum puderet, Italiae nomine, Berlusconii morum (minime decororum).
[because he felt ashamed of the things Berlusconi had done, in the name of Italy, which were far from honorable.]
Dei nostrum Praesidem diu servent, cuius exemplis et verbis nobis omnibus opus est!
