Apart from the fact that attempts of naive social engineering (Paul Belien about Belgium's social experiment in Congo) has a history of failure everywhere, Africa was the worst region to try it in the first place. Something is very wrong with Africa. It has been a black hole for development aid in the past 50 years, and nothing came out of it. Asia has rebooted itself out of the economic swamp,

Whenever there is a state visit of the Belgian King to another country or high-ranking officials visit Belgium, a package of fancy looking brochures are handed out. I got the full package as was handed out during the recent Royal visit to China.A folder titled "Palais Royal", “Koninklijk Paleis", “Koenigspalast", “Royal Palace" contains a set of brochures like “Belgium, a constitutional monarchy"

Door het ontstaan van 280.000 nieuwe banen tussen 1997 en 2005 steeg de werkgelegenheidsgraad in België als geheel van 57% in 1997 tot 60,4% in 2005. Deze toename volstond echter niet om het gemiddeld niveau van onze buurlanden (66,7%) of van de EU als geheel (63%) te bereiken. Uitgesplitst naar regio komt er een heel ander beeld te voorschijn. Met 64% in 2004 in Vlaanderen doen we het iets beter

Two of the conclusions of this week’s bloggers dinner in Ghent were that one-man web logs (like Instapundit) are difficult to maintain, and that serious blogging requires an almost professional devotion. Both combined, it means that group blogs are the way to go. One-man dead tree publications are scarce; in Flanders we only have Mark Grammens. After the hype, web logging is just another low

Now, did she do it, or didn’t she? The story of Gloriagate goes on. The Monsoon Season certainly has been very wet till now for Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo (GMA in short, Wikipedia), President of the Republic of the Philippines (RP). US ex-president Nixon wasn’t brought down by the Watergate scandal, he was brought down by the foul language on some tapes. Will Gloria be brought down by her tapes? And

Op het bloggersdiner in Gent gisterenavond vertelde LVB me dat hij graag een archief zou willen aanleggen van sommige leuke usenet-postings uit de glorietijd van het forum be.politics, toen er nog geen weblogs bestonden.Uit de oude doos, dit bericht van VH (toenmalige nickname AquatiK) van 6 september 2001 (in tempore non suspecto).Wetsontwerp strekkende tot invoering van een aantal verfijningen

Gisterenavond had in Gent het bloggers dinner plaats (webstekdagboekers avondmaal?). Als sociaal gebeuren uiterst geslaagd, en eerstehands info en contacten zijn nooit te versmaden. Blogging is een hype, en voorlopig is het nog altijd mogelijk daar een aantal mensen rond te verzamelen. Eens de hype gekoeld, en blogging gewoon als een ander medium wordt gezien, en niet als een message, vermoed ik

Heverlee, verkeersdrempel ("klikken om te vergroten")"Bij een zwaar verkeersongeval in Hasselt zijn vier jonge Oezbeken omgekomen, drie mannen en een vrouw. Ze zaten allemaal in dezelfde auto. Een vijfde inzittende is in kritieke toestand.Vermoedelijk heeft de bestuurder een verkeersdrempel te laat opgemerkt. Daardoor is de auto beginnen slingeren en tegen een boom terechtgekomen."(Bron tekst en

But not if you are gay. You might have been soaked wet then a few days ago in Madrid, when half a million Spaniards, 20 Roman Catholic bishops and opposition leaders (CNN-story, BBC-story) marched against the new Socialist governments intention to legalize same-sex marriages in Spain soon.Under the proposed bill, Spanish Civil Law would include the phrase: "Matrimony shall have the same

LVBLog heeft het spelletje hier opgestart. Eén van die trivia, zoals het muziekstokje die weblogs af en toe teisteren. Een mix van publieke kettingbrief en exhibitionisme."Neem een foto van jezelf in een spiegel, en upload de foto hier, alwaar je ook de foto's van anderen kunt zien, [o.a. LVB himself in Knocke-Zoute]. Het spel werd gestart door Paul Carpentier."Tja, dat zijn leuke dingen voor de

In the aftermath of the Belgian King’s state visit and trade mission to China (see here for some original photos in Xi’an), Belgian federal Foreign Minister (Secretary of State) Karel De Gucht gave his China view in an interview (June 17) with the Flemish economic and financial quality newspaper "De Tijd". The article is in the pay section. His analysis of the Belgian (mostly Flemish)-Chinese
