St Clears (/səntˈklɛərz/ sənt-KLAIRZ; Welsh: Sanclêr) is a community and small town on the River Tâf in Carmarthenshire, Wales. According to the 2001 UK census, it has a population of 2,820 people, most of whom are Welsh-speaking, although there is a marked difference between the southern and northern ends of the town in percentage terms. The population had increased to 2,995 at the 2011 census.
The community is bordered by the communities of: Meidrim; Newchurch and Merthyr; Llangynog; Laugharne Township; Llanddowror; Eglwyscummin; Llanboidy; and Llangynin, all being in Carmarthenshire.
The Priory Church of St Mary Magdalene (Church in Wales) was founded in around 1100 as a Cluniac priory of St Martin-des-Champs, Paris. It is considered to have the best surviving Norman stonecarving in Carmarthenshire. The church was restored in 1853–5 and in 1883–4. The stained-glass windows date from about 1929. It is a grade II* listed building.
Magna Carta (Latin for "the Great Charter"), also called Magna Carta Libertatum (Latin for "the Great Charter of the Liberties"), is a charter agreed by King John of England at Runnymede, near Windsor, on 15 June 1215. First drafted by the Archbishop of Canterbury to make peace between the unpopular King and a group of rebel barons, it promised the protection of church rights, protection for the barons from illegal imprisonment, access to swift justice, and limitations on feudal payments to the Crown, to be implemented through a council of 25 barons. Neither side stood behind their commitments, and the charter was annulled by Pope Innocent III, leading to the First Barons' War. After John's death, the regency government of his young son, Henry III, reissued the document in 1216, stripped of some of its more radical content, in an unsuccessful bid to build political support for their cause. At the end of the war in 1217, it formed part of the peace treaty agreed at Lambeth, where the document acquired the name Magna Carta, to distinguish it from the smaller Charter of the Forest which was issued at the same time. Short of funds, Henry reissued the charter again in 1225 in exchange for a grant of new taxes; his son, Edward I, repeated the exercise in 1297, this time confirming it as part of England's statute law.

Professor Stephany Griffith-Jones talks at the conference "Investment-led recovery in Europe" on 26 March 2015 in Helsinki on the topic "Investment-Led Strategy for Growth and Jobs in Europe ; Policy Alternatives". The conference was organized by Foundation for European Progressive Studies and Finnish think tank Kalevi Sorsa Foundation.
The global financial crisis of 2007 clearly exposed the weaknesses of the international financial system. The (obscured) bonus culture, unscrupulous profit accumulation and a lack of longterm investments lead to crises time and again. If we continue on in the ‘Business as usual’ mode Europe will enter a long period of low growth and high unemployment. The time has come to think of a new structure for the financial system with an important role for development banks. An alternative model that combines development banks and public banks creatively, ideally working together constructively, is an essential feature of a financial system that best serves the needs of inclusive and environmentally sustainable growth in developing, emerging and developed economies. The lecture has focused on this...

CROSSING BRIDGES is a film about 'healing'. Using visuals of a touch-healer doctor, Dr Mulk Raj Dass giving treatment to his patients at his clinic in Mussoorie, interspersed with diverse landscapes and activities along the banks of the uppermost stretch of River Ganges from Haridwar to her source at Gaumukh, the film explores many different layers of meaning for 'healing'. Both actual and metaphorical images of bridges, along with an explanatory narration depict how essential the meaning of bridge is to the overall sense of healing. For bringing two sides together and joining what is separated by un-obstructing what is currently obstructed are ways that healing ultimately takes place. Whereas River Ganges represents an actual manifest bodily channel of energy that flows as water along...

EN - PES Congress - Economist Stephany Griffith Jones: "We need a programme of positive progressive structural reforms" - Workshop "Challenges for Social Democracy in XXI Century" - 12.06.2015 - Budapest Congress & World Trade Center, BudaPESt, Hungary. Stephany Griffith Jones: "(It is) only Social Democrats who can provide this alternative vision, because I think neither extremes nor the mainstream right can do so. And a crucial element is this definition of structural reforms, which has been so captured by all sorts of economists and by the conservative politicians, who said the main progress has been labour reform, which is known basically, although it has some positive aspects, but basically it's very much about worsening income distribution, worsening petition rights ... so that prof...
