What are the chances that the UN will accept an International Language?
Q. I've read about IAL's (International Auxiliary Languages) and I find that most of them are pretty logically based, and are suppossed to be easy to learn for all people from across the globe. What are the chances that the UN will accept an IAL as a global language? How soon, if ever, will this happen? Will it be a preexisting language (e.g. English, Spanish, French, etc.) or a new one (Ido, Esperanto, IdP, ect.)

How has the Internet affected constructed languages (esperanto, interlingua, etc.)?
Q. Hello I am a student at Concordia University in Montreal and I am currently researching a paper on the effect of the Internet on Interlingua and other auxiliary languages. I am investigating such questions as: How has the Internet affected the auxiliary language movement? What are the benefits/drawbacks of the Internet for the auxiliary language community? Has the Internet encouraged the spread of English as an international auxiliary language (IAL), in place of languages conceived for that purpose? What is the role of IALs in today's world? Any responses. comments, thoughts related to this project are welcome! Thank you

A. The use of Esperanto is expanding exponentially, and most of that can be atributed to the internet. The last educated guess puts the number of functionally fluent speakers at 2 million plus and another 2,000 native speakers (those that were born to an Esperanto household; yes they exist). That estimate was generated around 1995, just about when the Internet really took off. Since that point it probably wouldn't be an exageration to say that the community has doubled. As an example: In a recent reprint of the Unua Libro (first book), editor Gene Keyes said that when he first started the project in 2000, he did a search for Esperanto on Google and it yielded over 1 million hits.

Q. It's easier than Esperanto because the verbs never change. It is the only isolating International Auxiliary Language. Anyway you should check it out, I thought it was interesting, what is your opinion?

A. It looks interesting, I would learn it as an intellectual exercise. However, I personally prefer to endorse and promote Esperanto as a neutral second language for the world. Its list of accomplishments over the last 120 years is admirable. The International Asociation of Esperanto has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize this year. As far as conjugation, Esperanto is logical enough that one can learn the main three tenses in less than one minute for all verbs, why simplify it even more? Is one minute too much? =) To sing = Kanti I sing = Mi kantas I sang = Mi kantis I will sing = Mi kantos

Q. The international auxiliary language is also called the reformed Esperanto; their inventors felt sure, that their language improved comparing to Esperanto and that it is easier to learn.

Specifically: The spelling reform has marginal benefits and marginal costs. Ido words are often not as visually recognizable internationally as Esperanto ones because of the different spelling, and the Esperanto accented letters in general do not pose any problem. The vocabulary thing is silly. Ido basically just copied French vocabulary (I believe that 93% of Ido's vocabulary is French derived.)

Cellphone charging using piezoelectric crystal?

The trigger mechanisms in these lighters produces a spark that can jump roughly 2-3cm in air, and the electricity is generated from the piezoelectric crystal. I would like to know whether using one of these would generate enough current to actually charge the cellphone battery?

A. You might be able to estimate the energy being generated per squeeze if you model the spark gap as a capacitor. At the instant the spark forms you have exceeded the dielectric strength of air, which is known, and this field strength can be plugged into the geometry of the spark gap to determine the voltage; with the capacitance, this can give you the energy stored immediately prior to discharge. You can figure on getting at least this much electrical energy per squeeze, and integrate over time. You only need a little bit of power to charge the battery.

A. I will try to remain strictly on the international legal ground, so I won't take into account any unrelated factors including moral and political ones. It is true that no one can board on to another ship on international waters. The exceptions you cited give legal reasons to stop and search and if it deems necessary, to divert the ship. The applicable exception in this case is the one concerning the Israeli blockade on Gaza. It may be argued that as the flotilla was breaching the blockade the Article 67 (a) is applicable. The problem with this kind of reasoning is that the Gaza blockade is itself illegal in accordance with the Article 33 of Fourth Geneva Convention, and therefore cannot be offered as a basis of legal claims.
