			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>News reaches me of a job offer in Nanjing University, China.  </p>
<p>The position is vice-president of a new programme that will prepare Chinese students to study in English-speaking universities and preference will be given to people who speak Esperanto.  Unfortunately, I fear none of us will be able to apply, seeing as prospective employees will have gained a master&#8217;s degree or doctorate in teaching English to speakers of other languages, which somewhat limits the potential talent pool.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align: center;">Semajno De Kulturo Internacia</h3>
<p> <img src='http://www.jeb.org.uk/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Jebsite/UK Flag.gif' alt=':uk:' class='wp-smiley' /> Most of this message will be in Esperanto, since people who will react to it must speak the language.  For the sake of interest, I&#8217;ll summarise it very quickly in English.  I won&#8217;t go into any of the details about time and so on, since if you can&#8217;t read it in Eo, you wouldn&#8217;t be able to apply anyway.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s scope for young Esperanto-speakers to spend a week in Pisa, all costs covered.  The mayors of six towns in the vicinity are offering twenty-five Esperanto-speakers (ten Italian, fifteen from elsewhere) accommodation and costs to visit the area and introduce the local middle-school children to Esperanto and aspects of their own cultures.</p>
<p><span id="more-48"></span> <img src='http://www.jeb.org.uk/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Jebsite/Esp Flag.gif' alt=':esp:' class='wp-smiley' /> SEMAJNO DE KULTURO INTERNACIA Pizo/Pisa (Italujo), 18-24 septembro 2008</p>
<p>De ĵaŭdo, la 18-an de septembro ĝis merkredo la 24-an, okazos en Italujo nova junulara arangxo, iom malsimila de la ĝisnunaj. Ĝia nomo estas 1-a Semajno de Kulturo Internacia (SKI), sed ĝi ne okazos<br />
sur neĝo <img src='http://www.jeb.org.uk/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Jebsite/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Mallonge: urbestroj de 6 urbetoj proksimaj al Pisa (San Giuliano Terme, Cascina, Vecchiano, Calci, Vicopisano, Buti) invitas 25 junajn esperantistojn ne-italajn kaj 10 italajn dum unu semajno al siaj<br />
urboj por prezenti siajn kulturojn kaj Esperanton al la lokaj mezgradaj lernantoj kaj al la loka junularo ĝenerale.</p>
<p>Ili pagos ĉion surloke (de alveno ĝis foriro: manĝoj, dormoj, moviĝoj), interŝanĝe de tiu &#8220;kultura laboro&#8221;.</p>
<p>Sekve, ni ne petas aliĝojn (vi devos pagi nenion al ni, nur zorgi alveni ĝustatempe&#8230;) sed kandidatiĝojn - ĉar nia respondeco (de Itala Esperantista Junularo) estas provizi kiel eble plej &#8220;varia&#8221;  kaj &#8220;kvalita&#8221; partoprenantaro, ankaŭ ĉar aliaj urbestroj italaj jam enviciĝis por ripeti la eksperimenton estonte. Inter la kandidatoj oni rapide elektos la partoprenontojn. Pliajn informojn vi trovos<br />
baldaŭ ĉe <a href="http://ski.esperantoitalia.it/">ski.esperantoitalia.it</a><br />
</ hr><br />
Mi ricevis tion de Massimo Ripani, kiu kontakteblas ĉe MassimoRipani[ĉe]gmail[punkto]com.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The title gives a clear enough summary <img src='http://www.jeb.org.uk/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Jebsite/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The Polish <em>Sejm</em> (equivalent to our Parliament) has given its unanimous backing to the nomination of Esperanto for the Nobel Peace Price, 297 votes for and precisely 0 against.</p>
<p>Although Esperanto belongs to everyone, it was born in Poland, a country that boasts an MEP who is fluent in the language, Małgorzata Handzlik.  She&#8217;s not the only one, either: The UK is represented by David Ferguson (Daffyd ap Fergus).</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve chanced on this report and would like to know a little more about the birth of Esperanto, please feel free to avail yourself of our &#8220;<a href="http://www.jeb.org.uk/about-esperanto">About Esperanto</a>&#8221; page. </p>
<p>And support for Esperanto isn&#8217;t localised merely to other lands: As of today, eight British MPs have also supported the nomination of Esperanto for the Nobel Peace Price.  <em>Gratulon al nia kara lingvo!</em> <img src='http://www.jeb.org.uk/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Jebsite/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kvankam mi unue aŭdis pri Esperanto antaŭ kelkaj jaroj, mi eniris la movadon nur pasintaŭguste, kiam mi aliĝis al JEB. La unuan fojon kiam mi renkontis aliajn Esperantistojn en oktobro, kiam kelkaj JEBanoj kunvenis en Leicester, sed la ĉi-jara BKE estas mia unua vera kongreso - kaj ankaŭ la unua fojo kiam mi fakte parolis esperantlingve (anstataŭ legi aŭ skribi). Mi iom timetis kiam mi alvenis en Southport, ne sciante kio okazos dum la semajnfino - sed mi baldaŭ renkontis Mikeo kaj dum la interkona vespero mi eksciis ke mi fakte bone komprenas la lingvon.</p>
<p>Miaj aliaj geamikoj de JEB bedaŭrinde devis alveni iom malfrue, kaj ili do maltrafis la interkonan vesperon. Je sia alveno, ili ankoraŭ ne estis manĝintaj, do iris ni al itala restoracio. La servado estis ege malbona, sed amuzis mi ke, pro nia krokodilado, la kelnero supozis ke ni estas ordinaraj britoj kiuj ne parolas iun ajn lingvon krom la anglan, kaj klopodis konvinki nin ke li estas italo&#8230; per paroli la hispanan! Post la manĝo jam malfruis, do ni revenis al nia hotelo kaj ekdormis.<br />
<span id="more-44"></span><br />
La sekva mateno komenciĝis per la solena malfermo, kiu kompreneble estis esperantlingva, sed ankaŭ tradukita en la anglan pro la ĉeesto de la urbestro kaj kelkaj aliaj lokaj eminentuloj, kiuj ne scipovas Esperanton. Tion mi trovis tre utila, ĉar ĝi komfirmis al mi, ke mi ja komprenas ĝuste. Post la solena malfermo prelegis Roman Dobrzynski, la gastparolanto de Pollando. Li vidigis al ni esperantlingvan filmon, kiun li mem kreis, pri la lernejo &#8220;Bona Espero&#8221; en sudameriko, kie Esperanto estas la ĉefe uzata lingvo, kaj parolis pri la filmo.</p>
<p>Dum tagmanĝhoro, ni JEBanoj iris unue ne al restoracio, sed al &#8220;Pleasureland&#8221;, la amuzejo de Southport. Tien ni ankaŭ revenis dimanĉon, kaj ni tre ĝuis la ondan fervojon kaj karambolaŭtojn. Poste ni manĝis kaj revenis al la kongresejo por la posttagmezaj prelegoj, kiujn mi decidis ne ĉeesti pro strangeta laceco kaj kapdoloro. Post prikomputila babilado kun Gavan mi sentis min resaniĝinta, kaj mi ĉeestis la prelegon Buchanan, pri la skausa (liverpola) prononco. Tre amuza estis la skaŭsakĉenta enkonduko de Paul Gubbins, kaj la prelego estis interesega!</p>
<p>Post la vespermanĝo okazis la distra vespero, kiun mi tre ŝatis, precipe la kantadon. Esperantlingvajn kanzonojn mi tre ŝatas; mi opinias ke ĝi estas tre kantebla lingvo, kaj mi ankaŭ tre ĝuis la amuzajn monologojn de Paul Gubbins.</p>
<p>Je dimanĉo estis la jarkunsidoj de kaj EAB kaj JEB. Bedaŭrinde post tiuj mi devis forlasi la kongreson, pro iom longa trajnvojaĝo hejmen, sed mi certe ĝuis tre interesan kaj utilan semajnfinon! Vendredon mi alvenis necerta ĉu mi eĉ komprenos la lingvon - sed dimanĉon mi trovis ke mi povis babili libere en Esperanto! Eĉ ke mi antaŭe legis multon pri Esperanto kaj kongresoj, estis iom strange sed certe bonege, vidi ĝin en la realo post tiu longa tempo. Ĉiuj, kiujn mi renkontis, estis tre afablaj kaj ĝentilaj - kaj mi multege antaŭĝuas mian venontan kongreson: plej eble la ĉi-jaran IJKon!</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s information from the official <a href="http://www.jeb.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/flugfolioceole4.pdf" title="OLE press release">press release</a>:</p>
<p><strong><em>• a unique work of international reference<br />
• an English-language companion for the literary enthusiast<br />
• a ‘must’ for every serious library and media reference section</em></strong><span id="more-38"></span></p>
<h2>Concise Encyclopedia of the Original Literature of Esperanto</h2>
<p><img src="http://www.jeb.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/ole.png" alt="OLE" class="alignright" />This outstanding work of scholarly reference appears in English for the first time. No other such extensive descriptive work is available on this global cultural phenomenon. Esperanto<br />
is the only planned international language to have become the vernacular and literary medium of a widespread speech community. This work charts the evolution of its original literature from its humble beginnings in 1887 to its worldwide use in every literary genre in the present day. The work is a revelation for students of comparative and world literature.</p>
<p><em>The Concise Encyclopedia of the Original Literature of Esperanto contains:</em><br />
• preface by Dr. Humphrey Tonkin, Professor of the Humanities and President Emeritus<br />
at the University of Hartford, Connecticut<br />
• general introduction to Esperanto literature, its history, evolution and modern<br />
development<br />
• individual introductions to the five periods of the literature<br />
• over 300 individual articles on the most important writers and their work in<br />
chronological order, with biographies and critique<br />
• sample literary texts from some of the best original authors<br />
• an introduction to the language itself, its linguistic structure and creative capabilities,<br />
including <em>Esperanto from the Viewpoint of a Writer</em> by <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&amp;ct=res&amp;cd=1&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FClaude_Piron&amp;ei=JcgaSLKoA5fuwwHM-Mz8Cw&amp;usg=AFQjCNF80T0JP6-Ee6NHKAjTx4gXhb37wQ&amp;sig2=NdYlVG0rWEBFVEA79VbXHQ">Claude Piron<br />
</a>• extensive bibliographies and index<br />
• a unique work of international reference<br />
• an English-language companion for the literary enthusiast<br />
• a ‘must’ for every serious library and media reference section</p>
<p>Esperanto is used on every continent as a neutral second language by people who wish to practise mutual respect for other cultures – and not merely advocate it. It has evolved naturally into a fully developed literary language, whose acquisition nevertheless does not necessitate the many years o  study required by an ethnic language.</p>
<p>Esperanto literature is created by writers from many countries who have chosen to use it because of its merits. It is, as yet, nearly always a labour of love – that is to say a product of culture. It is also most fundamentally democratic – a product of people, as opposed to capital, power or national prestige. More generally, the precise nature of Esperanto culture is still debated. It is certain, however, that it is unusually aware. In contrast to other contemporary cultures, Esperanto-speakers are more likely to be acquainted with their poets, despite the lack of a state-financed education system.</p>
<p>The beginnings of the philosophy behind Esperanto may be found in the work of Descartes. This philosophy is the concretization of an ideal that has been incubated by enlightened people for centuries: If all our mental processes and operations should be ruled by reason, then the first field into which we must introduce it is that means by which we express and interconnect our thoughts, which is language. (Gaston Waringhien)</p>
<p>Leibnitz continued the work of Descartes. At the end of a French-language manuscript, discovered in Hanover Library in 1903, he wrote: When this project (of a universal language) is realized, the happiness of mankind will depend solely on themselves, because then they will have a tool at their disposal that will serve to increase their good sense as the telescope serves to increase the capacity to see …</p>
<p>Esperanto is a vernacular and literary medium that belongs equally to all and to no one, used by people who are universally bilingual or multilingual and generally support language diversity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A number of JEBanoj have already signed up to attend the Internacia Junulara Kongreso (IJK) which this year is taking place in Szombathely in Hungary, from 26th July to 2nd August 2008.</p>
<p>If you want to know more about the congress, we recommend you visit the <a href="http://esperanto.net/ijk2008/">official IJK website</a>, where you can read all the details about the location and programme (in Esperanto only), as well as view a list of those people who have already signed up.<span id="more-37"></span></p>
<p>This promises to be an exciting event, which presents a great opportunity to meet Esperantists from other countries and practise your language skills in a relaxed and fun environment.  If you are not sure if you would like to attend and would like to know more, a good place to visit is <a href="http://www.jeb.org.uk/forumoj/index.php?t=msg&amp;th=316&amp;start=0&amp;">this thread</a> in the About Esperanto section of the JEB forums, which aims to give an explanation of the main events in the Esperanto calendar.  If you have specific questions about the IJK or would like some help understanding the Esperanto on the IJK site, <a href="http://www.jeb.org.uk/forumoj/index.php?t=msg&amp;th=539&amp;start=0&amp;">this thread</a> in the Congresses and Meet-ups section of the forum is probably the best place to start.</p>
<p>We will be happy to answer any questions, apart from how to pronounce Szombathely <img src='http://www.jeb.org.uk/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Jebsite/tongue2.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  JEB has already conducted some research into the best ways to get to the town, which is located near the Austro-Hungarian border.  Vienna and Budapest are the most direct airports to fly to from the UK, and a spreadsheet detailing times and guide prices for all airlines (that we could find!) offering suitable flights is available to download from the forum.  Some JEBanoj will potentially be meeting up in Vienna to catch the train to Hungary, details to be confirmed nearer the time <img src='http://www.jeb.org.uk/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Jebsite/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Prices for food and accommodation are very reasonable, and are detailed on the IJK website.  It is worth noting that if you sign up before 30 April 2008 you will save money on your fee.  A €15 deposit is payable up front, with the rest of the cost being payable on site.  We initially had a few problems figuring out how to pay our deposits; the best solution seems to be to transfer the money via EAB but if you&#8217;ve got to this stage and feel confused, get in touch and we&#8217;ll do our best to advise <img src='http://www.jeb.org.uk/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Jebsite/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>We look forward to seeing a strong JEB presence in Szombathely this summer <img src='http://www.jeb.org.uk/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Jebsite/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
