As readers may or may not have by now noticed, by steps I actually refer to micro-steps. I have long since concluded it both unnecessary and risky to condense too much information into too little space as it is clarity, rather than wordiness, that is of importance when conveying ideas. This being said, this particular micro-step refers to the importance of prioritization in crisis.
In any hazardous emergency situation the first thing that any survival manual recommends is to first and foremost ensure the survival of your own life. You have to save yourself before you can save the life of another. This advice makes a lot of sense. If a would-be rescuer were to squander time with other persons then it is more than possible that he or she would become too weak to complete the task, collapsing and becoming yet another victim in need of rescue. In such an event the would-be rescuer not only fails but worsens the chance of survival as resources have to be attributed to the rescue of more individuals, complicating matters.
Similarly if an individual is an electric-shock victim or has collapsed within a burning house then treatment in both scenarios is extremely difficult and hazardous not only to the victim but to the rescuer. In such situations the main is switched off or the victim relocated to a place outside the burning building before any first aid treatment begins. It is common sense.
So too also should this legacy of common sense apply to the Maltese context for as far as our handling of the illegal immigration issue is concerned. Before serious consideration of how to properly deal with immigrants already within the islands can begin we need to look at ways to prevent further immigrants from entering the country illegally and hence causing the problem to grow.
In this regards the European Union is proposing the return directive, which is a step in the right direction, although it does not actually address the problem with the same brand of common sense present within crisis-management materials. Locally it was only Norman Lowell who offered a compatible proposal which could be succinctly summed up as “14 miles out”. Unlike all other politicians he actually proposed prevention from entry, which does bear resemblance to shutting off the electricity in the event of an electrical hazard. Sure he may not have expressed his ideas on the matter in a fashion that was palatable to many people’s ears, but he remained consistent enough in his proposed solution. Of course he received both grudged respect and thinly-veiled vilification, and still receives both to this day… but that doesn’t change the fact of the matter, that turning immigrants around at the border would be a method compatible with crisis-management practice. Reasoning supporting this upon the conceptual level shall be expanded upon in another micro-step.

Hello James! I was trying to acces your blog before but I couldn’t…how strange. Anyway, very interesting post. I must admit that what makes me feel anxious about the situation is the lack of communication from the government. This is evidently a serious problem and the fact that they don’t even mention it bothers me.
I was feeling so anxious this week that I stopped reading the on-line paper because it was usually packed with incoming boats news and nothing to mention what is being done apart from receiving them and locking them which is hardly a solution to such a serious problem.
I am not used to a phenomenon like this so I guess that’s what is also making me feel rather nervous.
Anyway, keep up the good work. I said it before and I say it again, the way you write is amazing. Have a great weekend,
Hello Wen. :c)
I’m not sure why you couldn’t access the site earlier but do let me know if you have difficulties in future. ^_^ Oh, and thank you for such a wonderful comment. It helps to make it all worth-while. :c)
I do not know with certainty exactly why the government persists in non-action. It is tragic that they took the last election as they can now give us another five years of the same or worse (interestingly last year’s total tally was significantly less than other years, including this year’s projected total, which could well be the worst year yet). I do suspect both a religious and economic connection, since they are the only entities that could fathomably have an interest in allowing the islands to be swamped with a labour force willing to work for even lower rates than Malta’s sub-standard wages (and illegally to boot).
I likewise wish you a great weekend. ^_^ I do not mean to cause alarm… but I do intend to call a spade a spade for as far as this untreated issue is concerned. Such is a matter of responsibility, which does not begin or end with a vote.

I would also like to add when you do not currently have an insurance policy or else you do not remain in any group insurance, you could possibly well take advantage of seeking the assistance of a health insurance professional. Self-employed or those with medical conditions generally seek the help of one health insurance broker. Thanks for your article.
A few things i have seen in terms of computer system memory is always that there are requirements such as SDRAM, DDR and so forth, that must match the technical specs of the mother board. If the personal computer’s motherboard is fairly current while there are no computer OS issues, improving the memory literally takes under an hour. It’s one of several easiest pc upgrade treatments one can picture. Thanks for spreading your ideas.

Thanks for the something totally new you have revealed in your short article. One thing I would like to comment on is that FSBO connections are built eventually. By introducing yourself to the owners the first weekend their FSBO is actually announced, ahead of masses commence calling on Thursday, you produce a good link. By giving them resources, educational supplies, free accounts, and forms, you become an ally. If you take a personal interest in them and their situation, you produce a solid connection that, many times, pays off once the owners decide to go with an agent they know plus trust — preferably you actually.

The things i have observed in terms of computer system memory is that often there are specs such as SDRAM, DDR or anything else, that must go with the features of the motherboard. If the pc’s motherboard is kind of current and there are no main system issues, changing the memory literally takes under an hour. It’s one of many easiest laptop upgrade types of procedures one can imagine. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?

The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
