Communities shape the early environments that young children grow up in and have an enormous impact on their development.
Coalitions were formed by early childhood development communities throughout Alberta. Coalitions share research results with their communities and plan local early development initiatives.
Building Community
Strong, caring communities help to create the supports all young children deserve and need to thrive and do well in their lives.
Community Stories
Coalitions share their community stories: their strengths and challenges, their strategies and action plans, and the dreams and goals that they have for all their young children.
Provincial coalition gatherings
Early childhood development (ECD) community coalitions will meet together provincially for the second time April 28-29, 2014. Find out more about this gathering, as well as about the first meeting in November 2012.

It probably contravenes god knows how many health and safety, or fire regulations (arguably it might contravene the Geneva Convention on biological warfare).
It certainly contravenes socially acceptable "norms" and commonly held values on hygiene….
Got into the DGP today and discovered, at lunchtime while thinking about going a run, that I had left my shorts yesterday, hanging over my PC in Leith…to dry out the sweaty liner.
A quick phone call to Mr Brown in the Leith office at least lessened the risk of fire (I won't be back in there till Thursday). Though I did sense a reluctance to remove the offending article by hand. There is, I must admit, a tendency for my small part of the office to look like Widow Twankey's wash house, after a run; with all the gear left out to air.
Luckily I had another pair with me for tonight, so I just used them. As long as I remember to remove them from the top of the laser printer before I go tonight J

Critter Notices
Critters is 23!
Yes, 23 years ago Critters was born. Wow! Thanks so much to all of you, who've made it such a resounding success!
Critters no longer accepting European Union members :(It's with a heavy heart that I have to announce Critters can no longer accept people in the European Union as members. This is a result of the "GDPR" privacy laws going into effect. I'm a big fan of privacy, and applaud the general idea behind the GDPR, but the way it's implemented forces me to close the door to EU writers. [read more why...]

Book Earnings Survey
Several years ago Tobias Buckell did a survey on first novel sales and how much people earned. It was really interesting and useful. The publishing landscape is rapidly changing, so this survey is geared to measure current trends in publishing: How much are authors earning for books they've sold in the last year. Not limited to first novels -- any book sold in the last 12 months. Whether sold to a major publisher, small press, or self-published. Whether in print or electronic forms. It's also geared to track the effect of prior sales -- e.g., how large an advance are first authors getting vs. midlist authors.
This survey is open to all authors who've signed a contract for a book within the last 12 months. This includes contracts from major publishers, small presses, or self-publishing agreements.
If you're an author, you'll probably want to know this. Knowledge is power. All entries are anonymous. So help us out and enter your data!
Please spread the word so we can collect as much data as possible.

There was once a great king, clothed in splendor and crowned with glory. From high up on his royal seat, he looked lovingly at the assembled crowd before him, gathered to attend him. The people gazed up at his crown, at his purple robes, at his outstretched arms. He had come for them from a far country, through many perils, and much opposition. But his face was set. Their long-awaited king was determined to rescue his people from the darkness that had overwhelmed them. He had laid out his battle plan to his closest friends, but they didn't understand. "No chance of success," they said. Even his closest friends doubted him.
Perhaps they were right. The great king, clothed in splendor and crowned with glory, squinted through the blood dripping down his face. Each breath was labored and shallow, and his tongue clove to the roof of his mouth. The rough wood of the cross rubbed ruthlessly on the flesh of his back, torn by shards of bone and metal. As he lifted his eyes up to heaven, the crown of thorns dug cruelly into the back of his head. "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me," he shrieked. His voice fell flat on the wind, and was answered by silence. As he breathed his last, a thick darkness smothered the land.
That Friday was the day the King died. His costly battle plan had succeeded, and his people were free, though they didn't feel it in their hearts.
But there was an ancient myth, a legend stretching back to the farthest reaches of history. This people's story reverberated with the echoes of the defeat of Death by a great king.
On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples
a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine,
of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined.
And he will swallow up on this mountain
the covering that is cast over all peoples,
the veil that is spread over all nations.
He will swallow up death forever;
and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces,
and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth,
for the Lord has spoken.
It will be said on that day,
"Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us.
This is the Lord; we have waited for him;
let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation."
If Death was to be defeated by the King, and the occasion marked by such festive joy, why did the king have to die?
The king's body was taken off the cross, wrapped in linen, and spiced with myrrh. Perhaps his friends remembered the stories of his birth, wrapped in a swaddling cloth and receiving kingly gifts of spices. He left the world as he had entered it. Meek, and full of honor.
They laid his noble body thus arrayed in a virgin tomb. Nicodemus was there, who the king had told of a second birth. He had been confused, but now he understood. He was almost excited, on this somber day! The king, who had sprung from the virgin's womb, would be born again in the power of the Spirit from a virgin tomb.

Kindle Fire Review
Filed under: Stuff | Tags: Amazon, Color, E-ink, Fire, Kindle, Nook |
I really wanted to like the 2011 Kindle Fire. It could have been contender! Instead it turns out to be a Palm Treo in world of smartphones. It has the might of Amazon behind in. It's decent. It works. It is just a couple of years behind the times. Coming in to a mature market with a version one product is never an enviable position.
Here's the video review of the Kindle Fire with the expanded review below:


text:
I have written about performance metrics and traditional cost accounting many times on my blog, but what I want to give you today is taking these metrics to the extreme. In particular, the performance metric that I dislike the most is efficiency. This metric has resulted in many, many "bad" decisions which usually result in problems with morale among the hourly work force. Below there is a link to an article that is clearly based on cost accounting. You see, the company that this article is written about is now limiting, of all things, bathroom breaks to 6 minutes. And if an employee goes over that 6 minute limit, they face the possibility of disciplinary action.
The union, Teamsters local 743, filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board claiming WaterSaver, the company who implemented this policy, unfairly disciplined 19 workers in June for "excessive use" of washrooms. The company's human resources department described "excessive use of the bathroom as... 60 minutes or more over the last 10 working days," according to the affidavit. Do the math and it works out to 6 minutes a day.
The article quotes WaterSaver's CEO, Steve Kersten, as saying that 120 hours of production were lost in May because of bathroom visits outside of allotted break times. WaterSaver has even gone to the extreme of rewarding employees who don't use the restroom while they're at work for a whole month a $20 gift card! For me, this is a ridiculous policy which probably originated out of the concept of efficiency.
The union, who has filed a grievance, said monitoring bathroom time is an invasion of their privacy. "The company has spreadsheets on every union employee on how long they were in the bathroom," said Nick Kreitman, the union representative at WaterSavers. "There have been meetings with workers and human resources where the workers had to explain what they were doing in the bathroom," he said. At any rate, read the article and if you think it's a good policy, then you probably believe that monitoring efficiency is a good thing too. For the record, I do not think it is.

Over the summer we added four more states that you can now access legislative information from: New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. Our data comes from the Open States API, a project of the Sunlight Foundation. They are supporting our efforts to gather and make it easier to share state-level legislative data. Enjoy!

Hello everyone, welcome to the new version of PolicyPitch. Our team has been hard at work over the past several months to update the design and add lots of new features. We asked our users what you wanted and we hope the new site will deliver that. Having said that, I'd like to update you with our new features.
The new site is more focused on legislation transparency than before by extracting legislation information from Arizona, California, and Kentucky so that all of the political actions are visible. The main holdover from the previous version is the ability to pitch your own policy in any community you want. You can vote for or against any policy on its detail page by clicking on the buttons in the top right corner. You can get email notifications on any update by tracking policies, politicians, categories, and users. A full tutorial of the website can be seen on the How It Works page
We're really excited about the new version. We hope it makes it easier to navigate and encourages people to pitch their own policies, vote, and make comments. Let's start bringing the power to the people in your community!

Welcome 2010: iPhone app Election Hub & new site
Welcome, 2010! It's been a while since the last post, and the PolicyPitch team has been busy working on several new initiatives!
First, we want to announce the release of our first iPhone application: Election Hub! Election Hub includes up-to-the-minute stats, facts, news and notes on each New Orleans 2010 Mayoral and City Council candidate. Features include candidate bios and platform stances, incoming news articles, campaign finance reports, and twitter feeds. Election Hub also features an interactive community section where users can comment and sound-off on the candidates, campaign spending, platform stances, and news. Additionally, Election Hub polls the app's users once a week on who they would vote for in the Mayoral race. DOWNLOAD the app for FREE.
Election Hub was launched as a joint venture between PolicyPitch and Susco Solutions. Susco Solutions is one of the premier mobile development and software companies in the South. Susco's expertise and responsiveness was fantastic at all levels. Check out Susco's take on Election Hub's development. More information on Election Hub here.
Second, the re-design of the PolicyPitch site has been underway for months and is FINALLY nearing completion. The new site will feature a streamlined look and simplified navigation; easier tools to pitch your policies, the ability to contact local elected officials, and all of the legislative bills from Arizona, California, and Kentucky (with Louisiana coming very soon)! Shortly thereafter, we will have all of the bills filed by legislators in all 50 states!
Third, check out the "If I Were Mayor" platform developed by HumidBeings.com in partnership with PolicyPitch and Engage Nola. IIWM allows citizens of New Orleans to post policy ideas for the Mayoral candidates and vote on those ideas! Check it out.
Overall, this has been a fantastic few months and a great start to 2010!
Filed under Policypitch.com updates, updates
Opening Pitch
As our April recap demonstrated, PolicyPitch has gained a great deal of momentum lately. Over the course of the next few months, we hope to capitalize on this by rolling out the new and improved PolicyPitch now with 30% more policy and less pitchy aftertaste!
Democracy is only as good as its citizenry and PolicyPitch is likewise only as good as its users. Therefore, we are currently working deep in an underground bunker implementing improvements to the site that will make it more functional and user friendly than ever before. The new version will feature advanced video camera functionality, including double tap auto-focus and low light level macro settings… oh wait sorry that's the new iPhone 3GS… well, at least you don't need AT&T to use PolicyPitch! I guess ya'll just have to check back often to see our progress.
Oh and one last thing. I'd like to thank the PolicyPitch team for welcoming me on board. We are looking forward to bringing civic engagement to an entirely unprecedented level and I am just proud to be a part of that process.

April recap: gaining momentum
April was an exciting month for the Policypitch team! Our first legislative bill was pitched by a Louisiana state legislator, we made it to the finals of the Tulane Business Plan Competition, made a splash in the press, and continued development of our new platform!
Filed under news, Policypitch.com updates
Policypitch gets our first elected official to "pitch" his bill
State Representative Walker Hines, D-New Orleans, became the first elected official to post a proposed piece of legislation on Policypitch for public comment and feedback. With Louisiana facing a large budget deficit, his bill to eliminate the Louisiana state income tax for residents age 18-29 attending college or with college degrees was sure to face an uphill battle in the 2009 legislative session. So, Mr. Hines pitched the idea to his constituents on Policypitch.com – writing an open letter to residents, seeking input and feedback, and asking for their support. Within a few weeks, the bill easily became the most popular–and polarizing–issue pitched on the website.

Journals are a funny thing. Students by and large hate editing them, and professors by and large hate handing over their careers to the whims of know-nothing students. We naturally have come to the conclusion that students should edit articles about which they are ignorant, and professors must spend endless waking hours wondering if they have pleased the 3Ls gods that hold the fate of academia in their hands. Of course, both sides perform monumental intellectual feats just for the chance to participate in this system.
The pinnacle of these intellectual feats is none other than our own Harvard Law Review writing competition. Every year, hundreds of 1Ls (and a few, desperate SJDs) line up in Hauser Hall after the worst academic year of their lives to go through one final ordeal of self-flagellation: a week-long battle with a 1500 page package covering the narrowest questions of law in the most voluminous manner possible. Last year I stood among my fellow classmates waiting my turn at this competition of a lifetime. Yet I stood among them as a charlatan and a fraud, for I intended to troll the Harvard Law Review competition.
First, some background on the law review competition itself. It consists of two sections: first, a sub-cite, where you mark up a paper sadistically implanted with intentional errors by the graders, where you earn a certain amount of points for each error caught, and second, a case comment, where you must write your own opinion, so that the graders can sadistically mark the errors that you have unintentionally placed there. The errors you have caught and the errors you have made are then measured against each other on the scales of Anubis to decide whether you are worthy to enter the blessed Gannett House.
I was determined to be the first person in the history of the Harvard Law Review competition to achieve a negative score. First, I attacked the subcite, adding all the more misspelling to an already tarnished document. "Canons" became "Cannons," "treaties" "treatises," and "peace" "piece." Second, I made more substantive errors, swapping all instances of "substantive" and "procedural" (except, of course, when those terms actually were used on error). Next, I exasperated the logical errors of the piece by adding some errors of my own. I concluded with boxing in my edits (a requirement of the competition) using a convoluted system of lines whereby the grader would be forced to navigate a maze to find the correction that corresponded with the appropriate error.
My real tour de force, however, came during the case comment section. It started innocently enough—"The question of who has rights—and what rights they have—has become an important issue within the United States. The continuing use of 'freezes' by government prosecutors has sparked debate about the proper balance between the legitimate individual interest in safeguarding their rights and the legitimate government interest in obtaining a conviction"—before gradually descending into a series of what the prior subcite would call difficult substantive errors, i.e., repeated misconstruing of cases or sources and grossly conclusory claims. Certain gems include:
"Writing for the court, Justice Kagan wrote that 'constitutional rights…don't really matter.' "Also: "In a vigorous dissent, Justice Roberts argued that the majority's opinion had gone too far. He did not deny that 'the Government may effectively remove a defendant's primary weapon of defense—[his constitutional rights]' but asserted that the accused should be able to choose one right to keep." Finally: "It's a common misconception that the constitution protects all of the rights enumerated in the amendments…it's actually just a list from which you get to choose your favorite."
I then moved on to this insightful analysis:
"Given the breadth of materials, I'm going to assume that it comes out as a wash. I am left, then, to my gut reaction to determine what is right. Since I ate a good breakfast today, my tendency is to be more lenient towards criminals—the Justice Roberts opinion. On the other hand, my cell phone was stolen earlier this month, and that makes me mad at criminals, which makes me tend to favor Justice Kagan's approach. Overall, I think that whoever is reading this will probably be more liberally-inclined (In Kayley v. U.S., Roberts took an approach more favorable to criminal defendants) so I think adopting Justice Roberts' approach will be better for my score. I therefore adopt Justice Roberts' position."
I concluded my remarks with a scoring key awarding points for each error my grader caught in the paper. Simple misspelling and punctuation errors were worth 1 troll point, whereas failure to follow law review competition guidelines were worth two troll points and extreme logical errors were worth three or four.
I happily bound the exact amount of copies prescribed by the law review competition at Staples and, using my newly purchased rubber bands, compiled them into one, beautiful packet almost as thick as the one I had been given, ready to lovingly read by my law review graders. At the end of my comment section I provided the following departing words:
"At the end of the day, there are many things that the law review competition is and is not. It is a great way for stressed out students to strut their stuff and show that they are the best writers and editors in town. For those that endure and succeed, I salute you! Yes, even you, my faithful, loving grader! By now you must have gone through 30 of these mind-numbing things.
"I hope this has provided a needed break.
"All the Best!
"The Harvard Law Review Troll"
Don't take yourselves too seriously 1Ls. A copy of the case comment will be posted to the Record's Website for everyone to see and enjoy. Hopefully, I'll inspire at least one person to carry on the tradition.

As an integration/backend developer, when starting a project using Mobile Cloud Service, it is important to have some understanding of what this MBaaS (Mobile Backend as a Service) has to offer in terms of security features. This is important in order to be able to configure and test MCS. In this blog I will give examples on how to configure and use the basic authentication and OAuth2 features which are provided to secure APIs. You can read the Oracle documentation (which is quite good for MCS!) on this topic here.
Oracle Mobile Cloud Service offers platform APIs to offer specific features. You can create custom APIs by writing JavaScript code to run on Node.js. Connectors are used to access backend systems. This blogs focuses on authentication options for incoming requests.
The connectors are not directly available from the outside. MCS can secure custom and platform APIs. This functionality is taken care of by the Mobile Backend and the custom API configuration.
Getting started
The first thing to do when you want to expose an API is assign the API to a Mobile Backend. You can do this in the Mobile Backend configuration screen, APIs tab.
You can allow anonymous access, but generally you want to know who accesses your API. Also because MCS has a license option to pay for a specific number of API calls; you want to know who you are paying for. In order to require authentication on a per user basis, you first have to create a user and assign it to a group. You can also do this from the Mobile Backend configuration. Go to the Mobile Users Management tab to create users and groups. Read the complete article here.

Filmmakers Sued By Croation Journalist Who Claims His Book Inspired The Film
A love that dare not speak its name, just one of the most horrific wars in recent memory, for Angelina Jolie's directorial debut, she isn't taking the easy way out. "In the Land of Blood and Honey" is making its way to theaters and four clips and a plethora of images from the film have arrived to give you a taste of what Jolie has delivered from her first time behind the camera.
Starring Zana Marjanović ("Snow"), Rade Šerbedžija ("Snatch") and Goran Kostic ("Taken"), the film is a romantic drama about the troubled relationship between a Muslim woman and a Serbian man in the midst of the Bosnian war. These four clips are united in the fatigue, stress and strain the war is having on both the aggressors and the victims of the battle, all set against a bleak wintry landscape. But as you might imagine, the film is not without controversy. During filming Jolie was the target of concerns from groups in the area about the depicition of the war and their people, and now the actress/director is being hit with a lawsuit.
Croatian journalist James Braddock is suing Jolie and the filmmakers for copyright infrigement of his 2007 book "The Soul Shattering," which also features a storyline about a Serbian camp commander who falls in love with a Muslim woman. The added twist here is that Braddock and 'Blood and Honey' producer Edin Sarkic apparently spent two years discussing a film adapation of his book only for Jolie's project to suddenly appear. In addition to damages, Braddock is also suing to prevent the film's release, a common tactic which essentially never works. As for everything else, the case is yet to play out in court.
"In the Land of Blood and Honey" will roll into theaters on December 23rd. Check out the clips and pics below. [ComingSoon/THR]

Martha's Go-To Carpet Cleaner
Thanks to Rowena who pointed out that Martha Stewart has blogged her favorite eco-friendly way to clean up her pets' accidents (specifically when they grace her sisal carpeting which is normally a total nightmare to clean).
posted originally from: AT:LA
Martha's been blogging away for a while and we're really into this tip since it's something we've never heard of. It's a product called Host that you sprinkle over the accident, it absorbs it, wetness and all and you vacuum it up. It's a dry process that is green seal certified and we think it's definitely worth a try.
But the big question is: Do you think Martha ever cleans it up herself?
For more on the dirty ins and outs of pets see some of our other posts on the topic:

Today I have this super girly pastel mani to share with all of you! It has been a while since I used Essie's "Blossom Dandy" in a manicure, and I really wanted to use it in a pretty spring design. This polka dot floral design was the result!
I tend to do pink flowers when I do a floral print, so I decided to change it up and do some purple flowers! I used Color Club "Holy Chic!", LVX "Aubergine", and a little bit of white.
I actually really love how it came out! I imagined the line of flowers being in a more "V" shape, but I think this mani looks super cute regardless.
Here's a macro shot, so you all can get a better look at my improving freehand floral skills! Haha :)
If you want to see my tutorial on this mani, then you can check it out on my YouTube channel here:
I hope you all love this mani as much as I do!

It is fair to say that since June 23, 2016 – the day the UK voted to leave the EU –the 48.1% of the electorate that voted to remain have voiced some concerns. Indeed, many of the concerns expressed by this minority are shared by EU citizens residing in the UK who were unable to vote in the referendum, with none more important than the idea of rights to free movement within the EU. The concept which grants rights such as residency, entry and exit from the territory of EU Member States without prejudice is EU citizenship. Article 45 TFEU also encompasses some of these same rights, but applies only to workers. In contrast, EU citizenship status, enshrined in Article 20 TFEU, is granted to all Member State nationals by virtue of their Member State nationality. As made clear in that provision, EU citizenship does not replace nationality but is additional to it. This status was first introduced 24 years ago, in the Maastricht Treaty 1992. The most recent study in 2012 showed that a third of the population of foreign citizens in EU Member States are individuals from other EU Member States, indicative of large volume of people who have made use of their rights to free movement.
Associate citizenship of the EU
With the vote to leave the EU and the subsequent process of withdrawal that the UK must now undergo, it is clear that EU citizenship will no longer be a status accorded to British nationals. Though nothing is set in stone as yet, this much is fairly clear. However, this would mean British nationals can no longer enjoy the rights to free movement and residency that are currently enjoyed by all EU citizens. Plainly, this is one of the consequences that Britain must be prepared to accept as it negotiates its exit in the coming years. Unsurprisingly, there have been voices of discontent from sections of the "Remain" electorate about the unilateral "stripping" of their EU citizenship and calls for some consideration of a voluntary citizenship of the EU for British citizens. Most recently, this has crystallised in the form of Amendment 882, brought before the European Parliament by MEP Charles Goerens, to offer citizens from a former Member State what would be known as "associate citizenship". The Amendment offers a new regime for discussion amongst high level EU officials. This is the most thoroughly considered of all the suggestions thus far on any alternative arrangement for British citizens post-Brexit. In contrast, other suggestions concerning the retention of citizenship rights after Brexit have not been as formal as Amendment 882 and are also less specific about solutions to the problem of losing of EU citizenship status after Brexit. The proposal here is for an opt-in with payment of a membership fee; in return, individuals would have some of the rights guaranteed by the Treaty under Articles 21-22 TFEU: to free movement, to residency, and to vote and stand for election in the European Parliament. The right to consular protection, petitioning the European Parliament, recourse to the Ombudsman and right to communication from EU institutions in the citizens' own language are not included. The effect therefore, would be retention of a form of citizenship of the EU.
It is clear where this sentiment is coming from. While the referendum was won by "Leave", over 16 million people in the UK did vote to remain in the EU. It is assumed that these voters would have wanted to retain the benefits of being part of the supranational entity, including EU citizenship and its associated rights. Furthermore, EU citizenship has been granted to the entire British population and these individuals feel that they did not choose for it to be taken away from them. Indeed, as a right that impacts the majority of the population in the EU, its loss will be felt by many. Speculation is already rife about the visa requirements for British citizens in the EU after Brexit. Therefore, the outcry arguing in favour of a way to retain EU citizenship and its requisite rights is unsurprising. However, there is equal outcry about associate citizenship of the EU as a solution.
Associated problems
The criticism from the supporters of "Leave" describing the Amendment as an "outrage" and "totally unacceptable" has already been noted as creating a particular problem with associate citizenship of the EU. As admirable as it appears for the European Parliament itself to be concerned with the status of British citizens after Brexit – given their geographical proximity to the rest of Europe – the subversion of the political freedom of the UK to exit the EU simply cannot be accepted. Whilst the associate status will not prevent withdrawal, the argument here is that retaining such a status seems to suggest the potential for further cherry-picking of the benefits available to UK citizens after exiting. The UK will no longer be an EU Member State and its citizens will not have EU citizenship status. If the EU decides to amend its Treaties to allow this by the backdoor, this may suggest that the EU does not actually intend to allow exiting Member States a clean break under Article 50 TEU.
Another of the problems associated with Goerens' proposed amendment is that it comes from the EU itself. It is incredibly politically risky for the EU to be the solution to the British citizens' concerns surrounding their free movement after Brexit. The risk that the European Parliament runs with its suggestion is that it may appear to undermine the notion of freely allowing Member States to exit the EU under Article 50 TEU. The situation would be slightly different if the suggestion came from the UK Parliament as that would be a clear indication of the Member State's own intention and desire to retain benefits of EU citizenship status. The Amendment might be easier to accept if the initiative came from Westminster itself, especially given that the EU is already widely criticised for its deficits in democracy. However, the reaction from the British public to a suggested national amendment akin to Goerens' may now be different after the Miller case. The criticism of the UK's judges for their controversial decision to require MPs to vote before triggering Article 50 TEU suggests that the British public may not even respect decisions of its own judiciary, which could cause more difficulties for the Parliamentary process of anything similar to Amendment 882.
Furthermore, as Goerens himself recognises, there would need to be significant amendments to the Treaties governing the EU before his proposal can become reality. The biggest caveat to EU citizenship is that it is additional to national citizenship and should not replace it. By offering an associate citizenship of the EU to British citizens (although Amendment 882 has a wider view of being available to all former EU Member State nationals) this calls into question the division of competences as set out in Article 3 TFEU. Case law has confirmed categorically that rules on nationality remain an exclusive competence of Member States, and the Treaty is clear that EU citizenship is conferred through national citizenship. The question would be how this could be reconciled with a citizenship which effectively, British citizens could simply buy. The answer here is that Amendment 882 cannot do this.
An alternative to associate citizenship?
Given the problems associated with Goerens' proposed Amendment, it is relevant to note an alternative way of retaining EU citizenship status suggested by Gareth Davies prior to the existence of Amendment 882. This was in response to a case brought before the Court of Justice of the EU in 2010, C-135/08 Rottmann. In the case, the claimant risked losing his EU citizenship status because he was on the verge of becoming stateless. The Court of Justice of the EU stated that:
'it is for the Court to rule on the questions referred by the national court which concern the conditions in which a citizen of the Union may, because he loses his nationality, lose his status of citizen of the Union and thereby be deprived of the rights attaching to that status.' (paragraph 46)
What this meant, essentially, was that because the claimant was in danger of losing his EU citizenship status because of a provision under national law, the situation fell within the scope of EU law and had to be subject to a proportionality assessment. After Rottmann, therefore, the simple fact that EU citizenship status may be under jeopardy was enough to necessitate a balance of interests based on proportionality. Applied to the Brexit scenario, the Court could be required to consider whether a decision to withdraw from the EU and thereby also take away EU citizenship status from individuals would be proportionate to enjoyment of the rights under Article 20 TFEU. If this was successful, British citizens may be able to argue for retention of their EU citizenship status.
Considering the proportionate nature of a decision to exit the EU because of the Rottmann ruling provides some relief on paper for those worried about the EU citizenship status of British citizens. The argument made by Davies is that the Court could find that it would be disproportionate to deprive the British population of their rights as EU citizens through the process of withdrawal. Indeed, this is likely to be the motivation behind Goerens' proposal and underlies much of the other voices of dissatisfaction with the potential effects of Brexit. However, as Davies rightly points out in his analysis, it is highly unlikely that the assessment will fall on the side of favouring an effective limitation on the British withdrawal. Stephen Coutts also cautions about the political consequences of ignoring the will of the Brexit vote to truly divorce the UK from the EU. These political consequences are likely to be the factors that tip the proportionality assessment towards favouring and following through on the decision to withdraw. It would have been clever, but ultimately too political risky for the Court to argue that the retention of EU citizenship status was a proportionate reason to prevent the UK from entirely leaving the EU. Idealistically speaking, the Rottmann route could have been a potential solution from the jurisprudence of the Court itself. However, when scrutinising the political consequences of such a decision, it seems a less practical and defensible solution suffering from similar issues to Amendment 882.
The attempts by all parties, whether from the EU or from the UK, to avoid the consequences of a withdrawal of the UK from the EU are commendable, especially from the stance of a "Remain" supporter. They are also telling in terms of who is feeling the effect of the Brexit vote clearly the pain is felt not only by those in the UK, but also by those within the EU institutions. However, while there is clear dissatisfaction with the high likelihood of losing EU citizenship rights when withdrawal is complete, the suggestion by Charles Goerens is, I argue, unlikely to amount to much. The amendment will be applauded, and could even campaigned for by representatives in the EU Parliament. But is it politically realistic? Probably not.

Airline flybmi has suspended flights and is filing for administration, blaming uncertainty around Brexit.
British Midland Regional Limited, which had operated 17 regional jet aircraft on routes to 25 European cities, said all flights were cancelled from Saturday.
Difficulties have included increases in fuel and carbon costs, as well as challenges "particularly those created by Brexit", a statement on the airline's website said.
A total of 376 employees based in the UK, Germany, Sweden and Belgium are employed by bmi Regional.
The East Midlands-based airline had operated flights from Aberdeen, Bristol, City of Derry, East Midlands, London Stansted and Newcastle in the UK.
Last year, the airline carried 522,000 passengers on 29,000 flights, according to its website.
It is understood there are 1,500 passengers who were scheduled to fly with the airline on Sunday, most of whom are thought to be business passengers.
A statement from the flybmi said: "It is with a heavy heart that we have made this unavoidable announcement today.
"The airline has faced several difficulties, including recent spikes in fuel and carbon costs, the latter arising from the EU's recent decision to exclude UK airlines from full participation in the Emissions Trading Scheme. These issues have undermined efforts to move the airline into profit.
"Current trading and future prospects have also been seriously affected by the uncertainty created by the Brexit process, which has led to our inability to secure valuable flying contracts in Europe and lack of confidence around bmi's ability to continue flying between destinations in Europe.
"Additionally, our situation mirrors wider difficulties in the regional airline industry which have been well documented.
"Against this background, it has become impossible for the airline's shareholders to continue their extensive programme of funding into the business, despite investment totalling over £40 million in the last six years.
"We sincerely regret that this course of action has become the only option open to us, but the challenges, particularly those created by Brexit, have proven to be insurmountable."
Customers have been advised to contact their payment card issuer to get a refund for flights, while those who have booked through a travel agent or partner airlines are advised to contact their agent or airline for details of their options.
One passenger said he had already gone through security at Bristol airport when his flight was cancelled.
He tweeted: "Our @flybmi from Bristol to Munich (which had previously been changed from Southampton) was cancelled with no explanation after we had gone through security!"
He later added that he had arrived in Munich, having flown with Lufthansa from Heathrow.
Another tweeted: "My flight with @flybmi on the 19 Mar is up the swanny then. Charity event to be revisited as and when I get official word."
On Thursday, Transport Secretary Chris Grayling announced the route between City of Derry Airport and London Stansted would be subsidised by the Government, in partnership with the Department for the Economy in Northern Ireland.
The Department for Transport (DfT) said the deal would be renewed for another two years until May 1, 2021.
Discussions are under way to find an airline to operate the route, which is a public service obligation.
A DfT spokesman said: "It is very disappointing that Flybmi has gone into administration and we know this will be a very difficult time for those who have lost their jobs as a result.
"This will also of course be disruptive for passengers. We are fully focused on supporting those affected and are in contact with airports, airlines and other transport providers to ensure everything possible is being done to help them."
Brian Strutton, general secretary of the British Airline Pilots' Association (BALPA), said: "The collapse of flybmi is devastating news for all employees.
"Regrettably BALPA had no warning or any information from the company at all.
"Our immediate steps will be to support flybmi pilots and explore with the Directors and administrators whether their jobs can be saved."
