1. Upgradarea site-ului guvernului la culoarea portocaliu, instalarea feedu-urilor aferente si, fireste, motivarea bugetarilor de la PR sa isi merite salariul prin postarea a zeci de comunicate zilnic (a se retine unde se duc banii de cafea). Si pentru ca imaginea la propriu este extrem de importanta, il putem admira pe primul ministru din toate pozitiile vizualizand galeria foto si video.
Nu scapam de monitorizarea Comisiei Europene, pentru ca ea nu vizeaza numai codurile, mai sunt si alte lucruri de facut. Un raport bun creeaza premisele pentru ca, pana la inceputul lui 2010, sa scapam de monitorizare. Insa daca incidente in care doi oameni se bat sunt indelung mediatizate ca lupte intre clanuri, vom avea o problema.

Discutia de la CSM a fost deschisa, dar am vrut sa va diminuam placerea de a discuta despre sistem. Vorbiti (jurnalistii - n.a.) despre astfel de sisteme fara a le cunoaste. Asadar, astfel de discutii in prezenta presei ar fi fost un risc pentru un nou blam.

By BritannicaHigh-speed means of reporting information on securities transactions. It provides the stock symbol, number of shares, and price of each transaction; these are transmitted to tickers at brokerage houses.
The first stock ticker, which printed transactions on a long ribbon of paper, was developed at the New York Stock Exchange in 1867 (prior to this, information had been carried by mail or messenger).
Thomas A. Edison improved the machine in 1869, and it remained relatively unchanged until a faster ticker, printing 500 characters per minute, was developed in 1930. In 1964 a variable-speed ticker—printing up to 900 characters per minute and capable of handling 10 million shares per day without a tape delay—was put into operation.
The ticker was first linked to a computer system in 1965, and this made it possible for a transaction to appear on the ticker tape within seconds after the trade was executed on the floor of the exchange. Most major securities markets around the world allow time-delayed online access to their tickers.
The first ticker-tape parade took place in New York City in 1886; it occurred spontaneously as onlookers showered ticker tape onto a parade celebrating the dedication of the Statue of Liberty.

He documented the families of the farmland as they struggled through World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II. He also captured the post-war boom and the optimism of the 1950s. In doing this he created a vivid visual record of life in and around Heber Springs, Arkansas.By Disfarmer Website
