Καλήμερα .. Good morning from Melbourne. For "Forewarned is forearmed, right ?".. you can also perhaps say ? O προειδοποιημένος είναι προετοιμασμένος, σωστά ;

Ωραίο ! Keep posting cougr. .. perhaps I'll whiffle back on a more regular basis once I've settled into the new year and return to my normal routine.

Hi Nickel and thank you ! I've decided to take the back-seat approach this year, I'll still chime in from time to time of course. Theseus has just mentioned a term I wasn't familiar with. This site is too addictive to ignore and there's plenty of good people contributing.

Καλήμερα και καλή χρονιά. αργοκατέβασμα ταιριάζει με το slow descent. We're referring here to a rapid descent. Με το προκείμενο ελιγμό το πουλί προσπαθεί να πετύχει μάλλον ένα γοργοκατέβασμα ; Although the flight speed is lowered, the result is a rapid descent. Perhaps ανάποδο γοργοκατέβασμα...

Palavra maybe try googling written defense statement or written statement of defense, and see if that brings you any closer. The Written Defense Statement or Written Statement of Defense ,, is more usually (and simply) known as Defense Statement (a term I mentioned in my earlier post) or...

Could perhaps be described as a defense plea , or a self-defense plea ? There's also opening defense statement or defense statement . I'm not sure which (or if any ) of these fall close to the mark ?

Thanks for the summary dr. I also read that there will be automatic disciplinary sanctions (that don't require member approval) introduced to prevent member states from running higher than the prescribed (allowable) fiscal deficit limit in the future. I find this curious as .. Οι κυβερνήσεις...

Here's another non-orthodox economist, professor Steve Keen of Australia. Keen, Koo and Krugman .. interesting that their surnames start with K. Must watch videos ... http://smarttaxes.org/2011/08/19/steve-keen/ Also ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4yVhxDTom0

Thanks Costa I'm no economist either, all we can do is to remain interested at least and do our best to follow the events. Από τα όσα κατάλαβα ..O Krugman και ο Richard Koo προέρχονται από την ίδια σχολή σκέψης (there's a Richard Koo youtube interview I posted on p 137 of this thread). Κατά...

Hi nickel. Greetings to all from sunny Melbourne ! It's not the rule so much as the logic that I'm trying to grapple with here. My hard and fast rules comment was just me being flippant. Government can also behave like a collective noun, as you point out, but an advanced google search of one...

Was is not a good example .. you're right, good pick up. Just my assertion and hunch. Anyway Philip do an advanced google search(if you're interested) .. "one government after another " - where it starts the sentence, or if it doesn't start the sentence is the subject in the sentence...

There are no tendencies philip, just hard and fast rules ! :cool: The hard and fast rule here is : if a sentence starts with one ... after another and if we are in the present tense what follows is a singular verb is, has, .. and you should never see the following for example .. one...

Also there is a big difference between the following two sentence structures.... One witness after another (where one witness at a time is effectively the subject) has given evidence ..(singular) and witnesses have given evidence one after another .. where witnesses is the subject. Where one...

Actually nickel, if you like we can discuss the equivalent English term in the appropriate forum as i think I was right the first time. I hope I haven't hijacked this thread, but maybe if we unravel it in English, it may also prove helpful with the Greek term. one thing or person after another...

I was thinking in the collective/singular form only, for some reason ... and you've made a good and valid point nickel, something that I overlooked. The sentence itself conveys whether we are talking about a collective single entity or a lot of separate individual things to be considered one...

Take this with a grain of salt. I agree with nickel here...you need to think in terms of the subject and the verb, to make sense of it. I'm not sure if the same applies in Greek, but in English, if a sentence starts off in the form of .. one (thing) after another, it would be treated as a a...

O Richard Koo βλέπει ομοιότητες ανάμεσα στη σημερινή παγκόσμια κρίση και την κρίση που αντιμετώπισε η Ιαπωνία (1990-2005)... ίσως τα μέτρα που βοήθησαν την Ιαπωνία (τότε) μπορούν να τελεσφορήσουν και στην παρούσα παγκόσμια κρίση ; Αισθάνεται άνετα όμως που έφτασε το δημόσιο χρέος της...

Ένα πράγμα δεν καταλαβαίνω - πώς μπορεί το χρέος να καταπολεμηθεί με περισσότερο χρέος ; Τη στιγμή που άκουσα ότι η Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση θα αυξήσει την ικανότητα δανειοδότησης του EFSF προς (ίσως περισσότερο από) 1 τρισεκατομμύρια ευρώ ... και ότι ορισμένες τράπεζες, εντός των κρατών μελών...

Υ.Γ. Εννοούσα πρέπει να σταματήσει η παραγραφή των αδικημάτων ..δηλαδή να σταματήσει έτσι η ατιμωρησία. - δεν το διατύπωσα σωστά. .. και διαπράξουμε αντί πράξουμε !

Good morning from Melbourne. Προφανώς δεν μπορούμε να αλλάξουμε τα σφάλματα του παρελθόντος. Η καλύτερη εκπαίδευση κοστίζει, και δεν πρέπει να πάει χαμένη. Η Ελλάδα πήρε πολλά πολύτιμα και ακριβά μαθήματα, η σωστή μετάνοια και η πορεία προς την εξιλέωση αρχίζει και θα φανεί μόνο με την...
