Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on May 29, 2025, 09:25:45 AMSide note: no one is obligated to take up this request, since enblazonments may be done by anyone and they are not strictly part of the remit of the Coletx.

Correct -- while the offer as stated only applies to individuals I assisted with the grant of arms for, I may open it up to others down the line as time permits. In the meantime, however, the Squirrel Viceroy is correct: once you have been granted arms, that's the College's work done. Anyone (including you, the armiger yourself) may depict your blazon in whatever individual style you prefer as long as it is accurate to the blazon you were granted. (Maybe you like the Green Town Pursuivant's shorter heater-style shields as opposed to the Tudor arch? Different shades of a given tincture? It's up to you really.)

I hope at some point then in the future you will have time to assist with others. I suspect my arms would be improved by your work.

Thank you S:reu Braneu

Quote from: Bråneu Excelsio, UrN on May 29, 2025, 08:19:02 PMI informed the members of the Cabinet I was having lots of trouble the past few weeks because my internet service provider failed completely and I had to change ISP and that took way more time than I expected. Two full weeks with no internet at home.
Also, my workload at my job has increased exponentially but starting this monday I'll have more time in my hands since school is over this semester.

I will start with La C'hronica, my attention will focus on being up to date in that regard.

Much gratitude to the Minister.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on May 29, 2025, 11:08:45 AM@xpb Mr. Burgermeister, I wanted to check with you on a question concerning advised donations to the Kingdom. If I make a donation to the Treasury is it possible to specify it be used by the BHAID? Or is any donation to the Kingdom automatically entered into a general fund?

The bank account is just a pool of funds, but perhaps this could be brought up in the Ziu where after a budget is approved, any individual could donate to expand a budget line item, or if the line item did not exist, to create said line item (should it meet with general approval in terms of title and purpose).

Thank you, that is a good idea.

This fell off my radar what with the State Opening and Juneau Day Honours. It will probably happen sometime this summer now. I'll let you know.

Thanks King

@Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be you have been helpfully informed by Alexandreu you are under no obligation to accept the request under the very nice offer you posted. But if you do, I will be as excited to see what you come up with as I was when you created the logo for Fora Talossa.

Thank you Carlus! I've been meaning to touch base with you concerning a poetry idea.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on May 28, 2025, 05:57:09 PMEsteemed Túischac'h, tagging in here as Seneschál. The Minister of STUFF is incommunicado at the moment due, apparently, to Internet access from Mexico always being unreliable at this time of year. I don't understand it either. The matter of La C'hronica is under discussion in Cabinet.

I want to thank the Seneschal for her prompt response and note I share in the confusion concerning Mexican internet access during this time of year. I did see a Youtube screenshot from Braneu posted in Discord today but this might have been during a brief period of uninterrupted access. I will check-in after a while to allow for the Cabinet consultations.

Mr. Speaker,

This enquiry is for the Immigration Minister @Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC

I recall the following answer from the Deputy Minister here:

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on May 17, 2025, 05:14:18 PMI will ask the Deputy Minister @Iac Éovard Valadeir to speak to this directly

EDIT: And here it is:

"Between increased work hours, finals, and preparing for college, I'll admit that I've bitten off more than I could chew. However, rest assured I have no intentions of abandoning talossa or the responsibilities I have to it"

The slow trickle of immigration is now a trend that is entrenched unfortunately over the past couple of terms. The idea of an applicant shepherd, of sorts, as the Deputy was supposed to have served, is a good one but I note no improvement in his activities since the reply. And based on the list of responsibilities: work hours, finals, and then college it seems like the workload could be considerable into the forseeable future. But the need for heightened assistance with immigration remains.

How does the Minister plan to respond to continued inability to perform the duties by the Deputy, however regrettable, to meet this very important and pressing function?

Mr. Speaker,

I rise with an enquiry for the STUFF Minister @Bråneu Excelsio, UrN
I may be incorrect so please let me know if that is the case but the last issue of La C'hronica I can find is from January 2025 by S:reu Autofil here: https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=3798.0 Further, the Kingdom's website shows the last issue is December 2024.

This government gazette is supposed to be issued monthly so I ask when will the next issue be distributed on Wittenberg and via email to the citizenry?

@King Txec Fora Talossa stands ready to re-broadcast the next royal coffee. Do you know when the next session might be?

Congratulations to all the honorees

This bill is simply a suggestion as to the place/cause and organization to support. Being the biggest BHAID booster I wanted to get it in the queue should there be no objection after the budget passes.

Whereas, the years-long civil war in Sudan has led to one of the world's most dire humanitarian crises, and

Whereas, according to the Sudanese American Physicians Association (SAPA): "With over 25 million people in urgent need of humanitarian assistance and nearly 10 million displaced, Sudan faces an unprecedented crisis...", and

Whereas, SAPA provides life-saving healthcare, essential medicines, and vital food supplies to families who have lost everything."

Whereas, we note the scale and gravity of the mass suffering has not prevented it from being overshadowed by other conflicts but it has not escaped the concern of the Talossan people.

Therefore, the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa authorises the Bureau of Humanitarian Aid and International Development (BHAID) to make a one-time contribution of $50 (USD), to the Sudanese American Physicians Association to assist with their efforts in relieving the suffering of the Sudanese people, at https://sapa-usa.org/hope-for-sudan/.
