THE GOLDEN RULES OF KZRS I bet that for some of you guys this is the first time attending an EYP session and several of the terms you have encountered with are still a bit unclear. Here you can find out their true meaning and proper use for these terms will find you everywhere, even in toilets. So let’s get started, shall we: EYP – European Youth Parliament (I bet you already knew this one); KZRS – Kurzeme-Zemgale Regional Session TB, CW, GA – an EYP session is nothing without Teambuilding, Committee Work and General Assembly. (Mark these letters and memorize them.); CJO’s – the team of chairs, journalists and organisers (some of us call them “officials” – if you need something feel free to ask them); Head organiser – this person is recognizable even from far distance, because he/she let this session happen;

proposing the solutions for the problem (Please do not confuse these two terms); Circle (a.k.a. the Magic circle) - the official geometrical figure of EYP

Imagine – the unofficial anthem of EYP, ‘Imagine’

by John Lennon is in the hearts of all true EYP delegates and officials;

The GOLDEN RULE of all times – lets just say that EYP is a place where new people meet and where relationships can start (though sometimes it’s best to leave your feelings in your suitcase).

Press room – this is the room where all magic happens, home of journalists; Resolution – a written document that represents the work of each committee and is debated on in GA (If you have red this article carefully you should already know what GA stands for);

And these are the terms that we all use here.

Start to memorize them and if there are still some unanswered questions, ask the orgas they will know what to do.

Introductory clauses – first part of a resolution where the current situation and outlines of the challenges are stated;

Operative clauses – second part of a resolution

EMPLoyed by the EYP With all the commotion during the session, nobody can be everywhere at once, but EMPL wants it all – the knowledge, the friends, the work and the fun, regardless of free time or sleep.

With all of their diversified members, they just might have succeeded.

EYP can be stressful for anybody, but the delegates of EMPL have the perfect remedy and it is not a big fat pony or their own secret team of scientists. Their answer is an enormous amount of accumulative support for each other and if they preserve this quality long enough they might even win The Game one day.

The backbone of the committee is definitely Matīss. He radiates an aura of friendliness and leadership, and it is just fun to be around him. What really

stands out in this committee is the shared enthusiasm for successful collaboration. Linda and Lauma, both having courage and high expectations for the session, are willing to participate and contribute. But that is not all – EMPL has some impressive personalities, like Līna and Kerija. Līna has been a folkdancer for almost ten years, representing strong character and patriotism. Kerija hopes to be an actress one day and she displays strong public speaking skills. On the other side, EMPL has Kristaps. He seems quiet, but once he opens up, Kristaps shows his profound nature, and has a lot to offer. EMPL can present two of the most social girls one might ever encounter – Marta and Ieva. Both are confident, smart and they almost instantly became friends with each other. When looking for a person with a different per-

spective, Samanta immediately pops in mind. She has relatives in the UK, where she likes to spend a huge portion of her time, so her ideas are pleasantly fresh.

It is hard to ignore the fact that EMPL, without their dynamic duo of chairs, would just be a bunch of random people in a room. One of the co-chairs is Daniels and, although being young, he immediately won the respect of EMPL. He also has formed quite the bond with his co-chair – Elisa – the Italian girl with lots of EYP experience.

She has also been captivated by a KISS concert, where she had a place in the front row.

All in all, EMPL is a colorful crowd that is fun to be around with. They display the EYP way of working together with an astounding consideration. There is a bright future for members of EMPL in the EYP community with enough determination and integrity.

Quick tips on how to make new friends

5. Have an opinion! People with backbone will love someone like them, but those with no attitude will think of you as their hero.

So you want to have new friends, but you don’t know how? Don’t worry! You have found strength in you to learn and guess what – you already are halfway there. Read some friend-making tips from Queen B and you will collect new friends even faster than your grandmother bakes pies!

6. Emphasize your qualities! I believe you have very much to offer, if you don’t, then just fix your nose or get a boob-job. If you are poor, then get some money. One way how to get a lot of money - make a charity campaign in your school for kids.

Then just spend it on a plastic surgery.

1. Smile! Yes, it is that simple. Everyone wants to be friends with someone, who smiles and brings positive emotions, even if there are only evil things on your mind.

Remember these rules and if you want to make new friends - don’t be mean, because you are awesome and awesome people need to have awesome friends.

Stay relaxed, you will succeed because you know you love me.

2. Compliment others! People want to feel highly valued, and who can do it better then you? Feel free to compliment them almost about everything and believe me, they will be flattered.

3. Help everyone! Share your talent and others will help you back. If you show interest in someone’s work, they will actually believe that you care.

4. Dress nice! People love seeing pretty things, those Louis Vuitton shoes will always win you attention! Work hard, earn some money, buy the shoes and people will love you.

VOTING DRAGONS There are many types of dragons. There are metallic, chromatic and the ones, who want to vote before the age of 18. The little political dragon that sits inside each of us can not be measured by their age. Sometimes it can be so big, that the teenager is freaking out, because his birthday is a few days after elections.

AFCO's mission impossible was to find out the value of the underage monster. Do you need to change a system that has been working for so long? Some of them say yes, some disagree.

The thing is - everyone had their opinion and it was a great start for something that could change the little dragon’s lives. The first scene of the show was quiet, but then the mother-dragon sent in Edgars and Klāvs and the guys knew, how to benefit from the simple games. The goal was to find out every delegates talents, experience and random facts, that would transfer them from

Their keystone is Līga, who is excellent at finding a common denominator for all the committee. The help for all the little dragons out there was not that far!

Chairs made sure, that the energisers were not the only thing that kept dragons alive, they also managed to have Alex in their committee. He was an energizer in person - very positive, experienced and just a lovely partner as well. One of the beauties of committee work is that you experience funny, random, dragon moments that stay with you as positive memories. We were lucky enough to have as easy and friendly person as Nils with us, because his Cody impressions were amaz-

strangers to really good friends.

To have Anna, who had two ponies in the kindergarten, and Mārtiņš, who is a born dragonlover and whose enthusiasm has no limits, it is hard not to smile all the time. However, the AFCO dragons where determined to find the best arguments possible and put them in the resolution.

ing. His dragon has a good energy that no one can resist.

What’s more, no ones palms could escape ultimate Ninja Kristiāna a.k.a. Čiekurs. Kika also loved the Evolution game, especially the snake move, because she knows how snakes taste like. And lovely Katrīna, she always could justify her view on everything and that is a really useful talent.

So, if you are a little political dragon, everything is going to be as it should be. There are big AFCO dragons out there, they will protect the little ones and help them become the best and smartest voters the world has ever seen.

You Can Escape From Jail, But Not From Gossip What is the difference between gossip and a scandal? So glad you asked the Upper-East Side of Kuldīga. Anyone can commit a minor indiscretion and generate a day's worth of buzz, but in order for gossip to birth a true scandal, it requires the right person to be in the wrong place.

If there's one thing I've learned it's that there would be no gossip without secrets. You might be brave enough to reveal your secret only to have it used against you.

But the most powerful secrets are the truth you thought you could never reveal. That once spoken,

The Hotties of EYP Today it’s all about looks. Everybody wants to hang out with these good looking people. They are elite of EYP and all the gossips are always about them. It is no surprise they are in our list too. All of the major fashion magazines want them. Do you really want to know them? Do you? That’s because they could hurt your eyes with their sexiness. So here they are.

The one and only Miks. You can recognise him by his sexy smile and fabulous clothes. Some say that he is one of the best dancers in EYP. His eyes always attract more and more people. He is like a cherry on the top of the ice-cream. Always remember he likes people who photograph each his step. Running away from paparazzi is his life style.

Queen of EYP. The fashion diva. The soul of fashion. Gundega always is on the edge of glory. Her outfits blow our minds. Her smile shines through darkest windows and smallest gaps between our doors. She is the idol of EYP. Her jokes always lighten the day. There is nothing to say about beauty like this. You only have to see it to believe.

Mysterious man in the suit with glasses. Or you can say – it’s Niks. The problem solver and mood lifter. Even his reflection is jealous about his looks. Some say that he is the face of the year.

He is the Romeo of EYP. Even the Universe thinks so. His dressing style has inspired well known fashion designers. Now all of the Milan dresses like him.

We cannot see a rainbow without a little rain A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that causes a spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the sun shines on to droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere.

It takes the form of a multicoloured arc. Rainbows caused by the sunlight always appear in the section of the sky directly opposite the sun. This explanation basically describes Committee of Environment and So-

The king of gossip, Alvis Bless

CLAP FOR REGI – CLAP, CLAP In medieval time period, when the highest institution were king’s monarchy, people learned tolerance – before the fight, knights had to remove the gloves and shake each other’s hand. This tradition we have saved till now days, but only the meaning of this symbol is forgotten – “I am coming with peace”!

During medieval times people accepted one more principal rule – wherever you go, ladies go first – not for the kindness of the strong gender, but just to be sure that there is no danger; if something was going to happen –it would happen with female.

Being/lying on each other, feeling how the heart of others is beating is the most inspiring view of the session- LOVE in the all meanings of this word.

While playing magic ninja game we are learning how to protect ourselves and I can currently say, that REGI are the best amongst all session ninjas – sweetest of the sweetest pies that we could wish for.

Imaginary Session Everyone has their own expectations about the session before the arrival. We all want it to be unforgettable and let’s be honest, perfect as well. Let this article be like a mind-blowing story about how extraordinary session can be, if the sky was the limit.

When the sleeping beauty Atlántida will rise up one day, it would only be because a session would take place there.

Officials, who are Ninja beans, would arrive earlier then Cool beans, also known as delegates.

Yes, not people, but actual beans. All beans like a good energiser. Cool beans like to ride on unicorns and Ninja Beans know that. That is why their first TB activity would be a ride a unicorn in a field, which is full of hamsters. Little hamsters should sing some chilling songs in that flimsy voice, that they have. Probably classic energisers would be welcome as well. In the huge house, where all of the beans would live, the Journo team could have an extra modern IT room.

From there they could see every detail of the session. They

could write the best articles, because they would not miss anything.

Organisers would have a big bed for each and one of them, because they would always be working very hard to keep others positive and motivated.

Chairs could always do everything in time and be extremely happy, because they would have a personal SPA centre. Every procedure in there would be superfast and very effective.

But the Cool beans would have the best session ever, because their officials could give them everything they need. After the TB the Ultimate Ninja beans would organise a meal. Sure, it would be everything, that they could imagine being put on an EYP table. Now take a minute and imagine all that food you would love... Done? Great! After TB and dinner there is something, that even in real life would look like an awesome science-fiction and talent mix tape.

The Euroconcert - it could be hosted by Ryan Seacrest and there would be tons of talented beans. After the concert there

would be a party. Since even in a perfect session everyone is not a perfect dancer, Ninja beans could effectively take care of this awkward situation by hiring professional dancers, that would dance with all of the Cool beans. Activity could let all of the beans take some good memories with them and that would definitely be awesome.

The party is behind us, so let the committee work begin! It would be perfect as well, but we know, that our real delegates are very smart. Cool beans, so there just cannot be big changes in CW. After the resolutions would be done, the beans could have a great GA in big fat pony.

The science-fiction session sounds a little strange, but interesting at the same time, and it seems that our session is not so far from perfect.

The Monster CULT Is Here!

They are the kings and queens of tomorrow!

They met only on Thursday, but after a few hours they were ready to make the biggest Sonic boom ever. Some even gossip that this committee has the strength of ten giant elephants.

Their first steps sounded strong and confident in the halls of Viļa Plūdoņa gymnasium. It is time for CULT to show you their true colours.

The same as in new families the start is always bumpy and full of surprises. At first the committee of CULT had problems with making a proper solution for given issues which almost evolved in a big and bloody Ninja game. That is because their characters are different (like you would never lave cats and dogs in a same room). But after a while the icy blocks melted and they surprisingly started to listen to each other.

After a while they started to connect more and more but they preferred physical contact. That is no surprise – their topic for this session is sexual education.

CULT loves to solve logical tasks but their opinions do not match when they are talking about relationships. But everything can be changed.

The committee has a big problem with their strategies – they usually do not work out. CULT probably is the best committee when they have to make a fast

decision without getting the best outcome. What is interesting about CULT...hmm! They like to tickle each other and s o m e t im e s use phys ical strength to get to the goal. Imagination for CULT is a gift from the universe. Imagine that you are in the desert and you have to choose the most necessary things for surviving. What would you take? Well CULT chose not to take pills that clear the water from diseases, but drink their own pee (yummy).

The funny fact about CULT is

that Elīne doesn’t know how to use the compass. Some of them thought that there are magical hotels in the middle of the desert. This would be great for those who got lost there.

The never ending problem with Street fighter is that some of us can’t pronounce the different defence moves. Top 4 mistakes for CULT were Tiger knapikot, Tiger rapikot, Joga blame, High huken. Sticky toffee was the longest game which was played in CULT room. This game took persistence and knowledge how to tickle your partners right.

Some say that committee of CULT has a lot to give. And by the end of the day CULT will rock the room with their loud laughs and smiles worth of millions of dollars. Show them what you are made of!

Yours truly, Alvis Bless

How To Freak Out Your Friends How to freak out your friends There are some situations when you feel like you want to blow up the whole world or just mess with your friends. I have quite an experience with making some ridiculous things, which will freak out your friends. Do you know that it is really easy to make fake poop? Nasty!

Funny!Fun! I have been hiding my secrets for a really long time, but now I can not be quiet. So read carefully and try this at home!

1.) Get an empty toilet paper roll and a bowl of water 2.) Unroll the toilet paper roll and submerge it underwater until it is soggy.

3.) When you think it's soggy enough, take the roll out of the water and start squeezing it into a poop shape.

Squeeze! Nobody has ever made good poop without squeezing.

will create brown when they are combined equally. Stir the mixture well to make a homogeneous paste. Place the dough onto bakery paper. Use your hands to roll the dough out into an oval-shaped log. Allow the dough roll to air-dry completely. As it dries, the dough will crack slightly, which will make it resemble feces even more.

In conclusion I want to introduce you with my latest poop invention- how to make chocogummy poop, which actually is really tasty and great idea for a birthday present. You will need 1 bar of chocolate,

gummy bears, abowl with hot water or just a microwave. Melt chocolate by putting it into a bowl and than into the hot water or just into microwave for some time. Than add gummy bears, mix it together, make a form which looks like poop or whatever you want. In the end put chocogummy poop into the fridge and wait 5 minutes. And woooolaaaa- your chochogummy poop is ready!

It is a great feeling to make your friend and family laugh.

Try my advices, just do not get addicted, be careful and have fun!

BUT, it is not the only way how you can make really good poop.

I will introduce you with a more complicated method that may sound like grandmother’s Cookie recipe, but it is not!

Combine flour, water and salt into a bowl, then stir the mixture with a spoon. Add red and green food coloring – five drops of each. Since red and green are complementary colors, they

Post EYP Depression The Session After The Session STOP! Do not hang yourself or go on a crazy fraping spree! Just take a deep breath and SCREAM. The official session has been dismantled, but do not worry – EYP goes on. Though it feels like the emotions are fading, remember your persona has been changed forever.

Whether a turning point, a stepping stone or just a time well spent not sleeping, the session leaves deep memories.

realization that you are not alone in this situation. A good idea after the session is to look up a fellow participant, whether a new found friend in your committee or a much admired chair, and just take him out for a drink.

You just want more and more, and sacrifice a lot of your free time so it would be possible to spend time within this amazing universe just a little bit longer. EYP contains so much life and no matter how hard the PED hits, the best feeling is to get back with the people from EYP.
