general assembly ga/col/3225 petitioners on guam clare calvo, speaking on behalf of eddie baza calvo, governor of guam, said: “the people of guam need your help.” colonialism had weighed on them for nearly 500 years. the island had suffered over 230 years of spanish colonial rule, during which the chamorros had been devastated by disease, war and oppression. after the spanish-american war, the united states had claimed guam, and rule had begun under the “naval government”. japan’s foray into imperialism during the second world war had been especially brutal, when chamorro women had been raped and men beheaded by the japanese imperial army. in july 1944, the united states had taken back the island, she continued, and while the chamorros had been liberated from slavery and war, they were still suppressed under colonialism, and worse, had yet to receive reparations for the atrocities they had suffered. the chamorros of the second world war had endured slavery, murder and genocide, yet the united states had been silent on its obligations for war reparations. that silence reinforced the point that guam could no longer be a colony in perpetuity. she said the chamorros had been unable to reach their full socio-economic potential because of their political status. “now, more than ever, it is important to move forward”, while there were still chamorros left to express their right to self-determination. she was thankful that the united states, the administering power, recognized that right. the obama administration had agreed to match local funding allocated for decolonization efforts. the government of guam was committed to a plebiscite, and she wished to see a vote taken in the next general election or the one thereafter. most important was to ensure that chamorros made an educated decision on their political status, she said, underscoring that “exercising this human right is long overdue”. for far too long, the chamorro people had been told to be satisfied with a political status that did not respect their wishes first. for far too long, they had dealt with taxation without full representation, quasi-citizenship and partial belonging. she urged the special committee to support their human rights and help them become citizens of their own place in this world. edward alvarez, executive director of the commission on decolonization of guam, said his government would embark on an aggressive campaign to parlay its situation to a national and international audience. legislation had been introduced to appropriate money for a chamorro self-determination educational campaign, a programme which the united states department of the interior had expressed its intention to fund. moreover, the governor aimed to hold a plebiscite in the next five years for the chamorro people to exercise their right to self-determination. he said that guam did not plan to draft a constitution at this time, but rather, it would pursue the resolution of its political status by helping chamorros exercise their right to self-determination, particularly amid the military build-up. with that, he recommended that a representative from the united states president’s office facilitate the issue in congress, as guam engaged the departments of the interior and defence. for its part, guam would reach out to national and international media “to get our story told and message across”, he pledged. it also would seek advocacy from as many groups and celebrities as possible. he also recommended that the united nations advocate for guam by pressuring the united states. along with a national and international media campaign, guam might request an invitation to the international court of justice. “the time has come for all of us to come to grips with what is right and just for the chamorro people of guam,” he said.

- Conversation, to give themselves leeway
conversation, to give themselves leeway conversation, to give themselves leeway in our conversation always have to remind myself to give yourself liu yudi, can themselves into retreat, as it is like on the battlefield, into the attack, retreat and defend, so have a solid rear, attack each other, but also and is withdrawn, is still in the driving position. although not necessarily seem invincible, but suffered a crushing defeat of the phenomenon will not appear. for this, former u.s. president franklin has a wonderful description: i am bound, when my own words and deeds, in an increasingly reasonable to me when i had a column only on the words and deeds with a bound checklist. had goes out on the table with only twelve virtues, and later, a friend told me that i have some pride, that this pride manifested in conversation often, people think i'm arrogant. so, i immediately noticed his friend advice to me this rare, i immediately thought this would be sufficient awareness and affect my development prospects. then i noticed in the table are listed on the special 'open mind', a dedicated attention. i said, it must strive to avoid all direct contact or hurt others feelings, and even prohibit the use of all determine my own words and phrases such as 'of course', 'some', etc., but use 'may', 'i want' instead. speak and cause the relationship between success and failure relationship. you if the gaffe, argue with others, then you will not get the sympathy of others, the cooperation of other people, other people's help, the support of others, appreciation of others. in conversation, give yourself liu yudi, should pay attention to the following: -:, then do not say too far, against the only human sense. existence of things has its own reason, staff also have their own sense exists. words, if contrary to natural that common sense will leave to others tongue. therefore, in conversation, remember that words do not say too far, contrary to the only human sense. i had two salesmen on the train heard the rhetoric of the same commodity. they promote a new product is the same: a spiral socks. in order to show that the permeability of socks, the first pick up a sock salesman, said: to help out, hold one end of socks, so awkward pull. so saying, he pulled up with a customer , socks, really good toughness. then he picked up a long needle readily in stretched bengzhi paddling back and forth on socks, socks, and no injuries, said: look, not easy to snag the stockings. then he took from the lighter, light shaking in the socks below, flames through the socks, the socks are not influenced by injury. after some description in his socks in the hands of customers and biography. a customer picked up the needle intended, just a sock on the designated program in a hole, the original management plan is not easy if cut along the wrinkles, not planning is not broken. another customer to be lighter to burn, anxious salesman quickly added: socks are not burning vain, i just proved that it is good ventilation. finally, we finally understand how matter is not to say that the quality of socks, but it was atmosphere significantly affect the customer's consumer sentiment. the second salesman, is also said as he demonstrates, but he noted that the scientific description, something made very good introduction. he had this to say: of course, everything has its science, how could burn socks do not go again? i just proved that it is breathable, it also does not wear is not broken, that steel would wear. zhefan introduce sex prick did not give the customers day to leave an opportunity. then he passed while for everyone to see socks, while explaining the preferential price promotions, sales results significantly better than the previous one salesman. second: do not say never, then perhaps einstein's theory of relativity deep-rooted reason, people like to consider the issue a relative thinking, the absolute thing, psychologically there is a sense of exclusion. for example, when you categorically said: the fact is this kind of complete. at this time there will be two kinds of psychological ideas of others: first, you must ask: is not bad, but you may express his true mental always wondering, is not bad , his words you will be a little comprehension of the forest for the trees. might as well say: the truth is like this. if we have not completely clear their own thing, or on behalf of my personal views, even those that do not use the word absolute, absolute, as will be caused because of your suspicion of others, or even cause resentment of others. around us, there are many such people, they believe in yourself, if he did not had time to think about, and others in front of you to say with certainty, will feel left behind, it will naturally aversion. they will be psychological, said: it's like that? i do not believe it. even said: i hate such people. for example, once, two strangers first meet, chat and talked about all the issues of concern: the relationship between morality and legal system. one said: this issue is only the wise see wisdom, eyes of the beholder of the problem. while another added: in this society, we must talk about the legal system, no need to talk about ethics. later he talks from the point of view, he means said that in the present society, renxinbugu, when the morality of some people is of no use, it is necessary to solve the problem with the rule of law. but his words are too absolute, causing dissatisfaction with each other, and immediately asked him: society is not unreasonable, and he had his own words and explain it again. therefore, in conversation, though we absolutely a sure thing, they should not be saying that being too absolute, absolute things easily lead to others disagree. the reality is that if the other party intends to prick, really can pick thorn. its a prick to others an excuse, as the euphemism for saying that. also, if we do not speak at the absolute, we can also in a broader space and the other deal. three: speak consistent, honest and trustworthy. and other things in his speech, we must pay attention not to appear before and after the conflict, maintaining consistency. inconsistency is a taboo, contradictions are often vulnerable to attack another place, but often very powerful attacks, can make us speechless, such as office colleagues jiamou pingmou want to know the relationship with the director, asked gumou said: you've been director of house? jiamou certainly do not want to pingmou this kind of thing, he said: no, pingmou said recently bought a set of furniture director. gumou said : it was brand mountains, the color is better. in two to one to one dialogue, pingmou know, jiamou director must have been to home, or how he knew it was so clear. words to be honest and trustworthy. have a customer in order to make your room perfect, hope to buy a genuine leather sofa. the customer to the city's big stores, a variety of goods to go shopping. vendors happily brought him the sofa department. when customers see a sofa attracted him, he asked the price, the vendor told him. the price of this leather sofa customers actually so low (and he expected only half) that surprised when the seller assures customers that this is indeed a bargain, so it is popular. customers sit on the sofa, feeling good. he stood up, pacing around the couch, admire. sofa very pretty. customers found themselves once again for a price so cheap leather sofas that such a surprise, so decided to buy it. subsequently, the customer told the salesman: i would also like a high-quality coffee table on this sofa. so he went to the department of coffee tables. way, the customer saw another sofa, and just goes on very similar, and he went past, carefully observed a lot, and sat down. the customer could not decide which one your really like. he asked the price, the price when the salesman told him, he was surprised: this couch is just twice that he ordered the couch. the customer asked: why does this so expensive? vendor: this is real leather. customer: then i just ordered what material goes it? i thought it is real leather. vendor: the couch, all parts in contact with people, that cushion at the top, by the hand and backs is the dermis, however, by the hand the bottom of the bottom of the sofa, after the back is leather. i assure you, will see no difference between the two, and that the durability of leather and leather appearance no less. customers : my friends, why do you not start to tell me what goes on is not all leather? vendor: i want to talk about, and can be then changed the subject. however, i'm not the kind of deliberately telling lies to customers who. however, in any case, the customer or cancel his original order. moreover, he not only in that store that day not to buy anything in the subsequent decade, from the shop is no longer interested, because he has no confidence in where the sales staff and goods. from the above example, we can draw this lesson: honesty is not only talking the best sales strategy, and is the only strategy. in conversation with others to always remember the word integrity, speak to consistency. fourth: to say too mellow when we aim for a conversation with others, then we should say that the round number, to be so straight, it will shock annoying each other, even in one's own reason. said rounded point, give us leave some room for maneuver, calmly to achieve the purpose of our conversation. for example: a family hotel attendant, ms. he found the tenant, the night before has been closed, the account may be still living in the room today, and the ms. he is manager of the friends, how to do it? if you ask ms. he directly when the leave to appear rude, but if you do not ask, afraid of ms. he bilk. we discuss the decision by a good public relations conversation and ms. he miss lee to talk about. miss lee knocked on the door of ms. he said: hello! you ms. he do? yes ah! who are you? ms. he replied: i am public relations, you come to a few days, we have not had time to see you, really sorry. i heard a few days before your body is not comfortable, better now it? thank you for your concern better. i heard that you check out yesterday and today did not go into, these days, the weather is not good, is not the aircraft lifted? you see we can do something! thank you very much! check out last night because my friend today to return, i do not want too much product accounts, the first knot time ye hao, said the doctor, my patients to be seen for some time. he madam, you do not hesitate, just told what a good thing. thank you! i'll find you something. we see ms. he went to talk to miss lee, the purpose is to figure out, in the end is to take or not take? if you do not go, can clearly cause. but the question was not opening, calling not only offend ms. he, and offending manager. miss lee's words very mellow, first greeting and then asked about ms. he need any help, an expression of great concern, leaving ms. he was deeply moved, unconsciously to explain why. miss lee discourse virtuosity, much room for maneuver. via: conversation, to give themselves leeway other electronics news: laptop battery compaq presario c700 battery compaq presario f500 battery compaq presario f700 battery compaq presario v3000 battery compaq presario v6000 battery
