The employer said that he was not used to advertising for people. But he often looked for people, and then it happened that he ran into exactly the right person. That says so much that it’s about being visible in everyday life. If you sit playing computer games all night and sleep during the day, it’s hard to get notic...

Arbeiðsgevarin segði, at hann var ikki vanur at lýsa eftir fólki. Men hann leitaði ofta eftir fólki, og tá kom fyri at hann rendi seg júst í rætta persónin. Tað sigur so mikið, at tað ræður um at vera sjónligur í gerandisdegnum. Situr tú við telduspølum alla náttina og svevur um dagin, er ilt at fáa eygað á teg.

Sickness sent Nicas Hera Jákupsson down singing by the flag, but with a determined tear for his own deepest values, he returned to the right course. It took its time, and now he wants, with his lectures, to help others out of illness and to find joy in life.

Strongd sendi Nicas Hera Jákupsson so syngjandi niður við flagginum, men við miðvísari tráan eftir sínum egnu djúpastu virðum, kom hann aftur á rættkjøl. Tað tók sína tíð, og nú vil hann, við sínum fyrilestrum, hjálpa øðrum úr strongdini og at finna lívsgleði
As planned, Niclas Heri founded his own company with the purpose of giving lectures about hardship and joy of life and thereby sharing his bitter life experiences.

Sum hugsað so gjørt. Niclas Heri stovn- aði sítt egna felag við tí endamáli at halda fyrilestrar um strongd og lívs- gleði og harvið oysa av sínum beisku lívsroyndum.
How people would receive these lecture offerings, and whether I could actually make a living from them, I of course did not know, but it soon became clear that there was great interest among people.

Niclas Heri is not in doubt that there are many who do not at all know their dreams and abilities, but rather live according to what others think.

Niclas Heri er ikki í iva um, at tey eru mong, sum als ikki kenna sínar dreymir og førleikar, men liva heldur eftir hvat onnur halda.
This is especially true in smaller communities. A constant fear of what others think, and therefore many do not live according to what they themselves want, but rather live according to what others think is right. These people become without identity and become poor copies of others. They never grasp their own joy in l...

Niclas Heri’s lectures are very well attended, and the fact that so many associations and others have invited him is, as one might expect, because Niclas Heri is an exceptional entertainer, and his lectures are relevant, so that people recognize themselves in much of what he presents.

It goes without saying that if a union with 100 or 1,000 or 2,000 members enters into a conflict or negotiations, it is much weaker than if all 23,000 wage earners stood together and were united in the same conflict or negotiations.

When Davíð Oddson took over the National Bank, he led the Icelandic nation to believe that every year the banks wrote reports on the state of the economy and that the Icelandic Ministry of Finance gave the citizens an authoritative, signed picture of the consequences of their own policies.

Bogi Simonsen from Tórshavn has two leisure pursuits that can be said to be quite different, where the man can be seen in two completely different roles.

The important thing is that you first of all are willing to play cards. That you are additionally competitive certainly doesn’t make it worse.

Niels á Reynatúgvu, nevndarlimur í Starvsmannafelagnum, greiddi millum annað frá ALS skipanini her í Føroyum, sum er munandi øðrvísi enn A-kassarnir í hinum Norðanlondunum. Stórur áhugi var at hoyra meira um ALS.
This is the first representatives’ course of this kind. It has been a wish from the representatives to have more courses than just the basic training. There is a need to develop the knowledge within this representative role. Therefore the union chose to organize this course, with these topics on the agenda.

Hetta er fyrsta álitisfólkaskeið av hesum slag. Tað hevur verið eitt ynski frá álitisfólkunum at fáa fleiri skeið enn bara grundútbúgvingina. Tað er tørvur á at menna vitanina innan hesa álitisuppgávu. Tí valdi felagið at skipa fyri hesum skeiði, við hesum evnum á skránni.
When they came back on board again Wednesday afternoon, Bergtóra Høgnadóttir Joensen gave her lecture. They cast off at 8:00 PM, and the next morning Bergtóra continued with her lecture.

Tá komið varð umborð aftur seinrapartin mikudagin, hevði Bergtóra Høgnadóttir Joensen sín fyrilestur. Lagt varð frá landi kl. 20, og morgunin eftir helt Bergtóra áfram við sínum fyrilestri. Ferðalagið var aftur á Havnini um trítíðina eftir ein góðan og gevandi túr. Afturmeldingarnar frá luttakarunum
The course was held in two sessions because the number of participants was over 30. And this time it was again held as a boarding course at Gjáargarður near Gjógv.

Skeiðið varð hildið í tveimum umførum, tí luttakaratalið var oman fyri 30. Og aftur hesuferð varð tað hildið sum internatskeið á Gjáargarði við Gjógv.
Time and again the Union of Civil Servants manages to have illegal dismissals overturned (or declared unlawful).
BLARK_translated
Aftur og aftur eydnast Starvsmannafelagnum at fáa staðfest ólógligar uppsagnir.
But nothing happens. No one is held responsible for the professional fate of these people. No one is held responsible for the large financial loss that the public sector often suffers from such cases.
BLARK_translated
Men einki hendir. Eingin verður ábyrgdaður fyri starvsligu lagnuna hjá hesum fólkum. Eingin verður ábyrgdaður fyri tann stóra fíggjarliga miss, sum tað almenna ofta hevur av slíkum málum
A good example is the dismissal of three people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, two of whom are members of the Civil Servants' Association.
BLARK_translated
Eitt gott dømi er uppsøgn av trimum persónum í Uttanríkisráðnum, harav tveir eru limir í Starvsmannafelagnum:
The conclusion of the Parliamentary Ombudsman is fully in agreement with the opinion and complaint of the Civil Servants' Union.
BLARK_translated
Niðurstøðan hjá Løgtingsins Umboðsmanni er fult í samsvari við áskoðan og kæru Starvsmannafelagsins.
Shortly after this, or around the same time, the foreign minister was in the press and said that now “one” truly wanted to set about it.

Beint eftir hetta, ella um sama mundið, var uttanríkisráð- harrin í pressuni og segði, at nú vildi „man“ av álvara seta
And that was simply it, which was the end of this story – no consequence of any kind for a serious breach of basic administrative rules.
BLARK_translated
Og tað var so bara tað, sum var endin av hesi søgu – eingin avleiðing av nøkrum slag fyri álvarsligt brot á grundleggjandi fyrisitingarligar reglur.
Now legal action has been initiated in the matter with a claim for compensation, so we'll see.
BLARK_translated
Nú er tó stevnt í málinum við kravi um endurgjald, so vit fáa at síggja.
This was just one example. In several other cases the association has obtained findings of a similar nature, and on those occasions it has even been so bad that employees, following a decision by the ministry or the Parliamentary Ombudsman, have formally continued in their positions — i.e. the dismissal decision has be...

Hetta var bert eitt dømi.

This has had major financial consequences for the affected institutions — but as far as we know not yet for the central individuals who made the illegal decisions.

Hetta hevur havt stórar fíggjarligar avleiðingar fyri avvarð- andi stovnarnar – men okkum vitandi enn ikki fyri teir sentralu perónarnar, sum hava tikið tær ólógligu avgerðirnar.
I believe that the handling of this matter has been anything but satisfactory. At the same time, it is my impression that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in connection with budget cuts and organizational changes, has not at all made any assessment of future operations and the staff complement in relation to the tasks ...

Eg haldi, at viðgerðin av hesum máli hevur verið alt annað enn nøktandi. Tað er samstundis mín fatan, at Uttanríkisráðið í sambandi við sparingar og bygnaðarbroytingar als ikki hevur gjørt nakra meting av framtíðarvirkseminum og starvsfólkahópinum samanhildið við tær uppgávur, sum eitt skert Uttanríkisráð skuldi røkja.
We all know it. Everyday life with all its familiar and worn routines.

Vit kenna hann øll. Gerandisdagin við øllum sínum kendu og slitnu rutinum.
He is not always so well behaved, poor thing, because he comes and goes like a stubborn, inescapable and perpetual walking burden that plagues us with its recurring tasks.

Everyday life is not a colorful calypso. Here staccato and a recurring chill prevail.

Gerandisdagurin er ikki litrík kalypso. Her valdar stakkato og rákøld afturvendan.
And then shallow dreams come for 14 days to the south, about everything that will be so lovely when the exam is over, the assignment done, the children out of the way, the loans paid back and everyday life is over.
BLARK_translated
Og so koma grunnir dreymar um 14 dagar sunnanfyri, um alt, ið verður so deiligt, tá próvtøkan er staðin, uppgávan gjørd, børnini undankomin, lánini afturgoldin og gerandisdagurin er av.
But when it happens — and it does from time to time to all of us — that everyday life is suddenly torn apart, we begin to long for it. When accident, illness, or unemployment suddenly strikes, there is a sharp emptiness where the familiar everyday life used to predominate.
BLARK_translated
Men tá tað so hendir – og tað ger tað av og á hjá okkum øllum – at gerandisdagurin brádliga verður sundurskræddur, so fara vit at leingjast eftir honum. Tá óhapp, sjúka ella arbeiðsloysi knappliga rakar, er tómin skerandi, har vælkendi gerandisdagurin áður var valdandi.
When everyday life can no longer be, and you instead have to lie down or be hospitalized, the scent of routine-brewed morning coffee at home stands in sharp contrast with

Tá gerandisdagurin ikki longur kann vera, og tú ístaðin noyðist at liggja ella vitja á sjúkrahúsi, so stendur angin av rutinubryggjaðum morgunkaffi heima í skarandi andsøgn við
Such a note of bad conscience about having taken everyday life for granted recently made me look up the good old Dan Turèll again, where he celebrates precisely the everyday.

At this public meeting this time, those in the Workers’ Association did not manage to organise any events other than participating with a stand, but it will most likely be done the next time a public meeting is held.

Í kanningini mátar Hagstovan peningainntøkurnar hjá borgarunum og húskjum. Talan er um løn fyri arbeiði og vinning frá egnum virki, veitingar frá tí almenna, so sum eftirlønir, dagpeningur, rentustuðul og lestrarstudningur. Harafturat ognarinntøka, so sum rentuinntøkur, virðisbrævainntøkur og aðrar kapitalinntøkur.
According to the Statistics Office, the most commonly used main measure of poverty is the proportion of citizens who are at risk of poverty (in English, “At Risk Of Poverty”). Those who are at risk of poverty are the share of people who have lower income.

below 60% of the median income. It is not, however, certain that this particular group of citizens is truly poor, but it is still most likely that they are the worst off in the country. The Statistics Office also points out that this is relative poverty, which means that they do not have the same financial opportunitie...

Høgni P. Vilhelm, who led the study, says that this is an income survey that gives us facts about income conditions in the Faroe Islands.

In the Statistics Office’s survey, less emphasis is placed on the income of each individual citizen and more on the household as a whole of which he or she is a part. This gives a truer picture of consumption possibilities. After all, it may be that one person in the household has a small income but lives with someone ...

The Statistical Office calculates according to the concept of equalized disposable income. About this concept the Statistical Office says:
BLARK_translated
Hagstovan roknar eftir hugtakinum javnvirðis miðinntøka. Um hetta hugtak sigur Hagstovan:
Equivalised income is a weighted income that is calculated in order to compare the consumption possibilities of households, regardless of the size and composition of the households.
BLARK_translated
Javnsvirðisinntøka er ein vektað inntøka, sum verður roknað fyri at kunna sammeta nýtslumøguleikarnar í húskj- unum, óheft av stødd og samanseting á húskjum.

According to the survey by the National Statistics Office, few citizens in the Faroe Islands are below the poverty-risk threshold compared with EU countries. It should be noted that the income survey was conducted according to international standards and is therefore comparable with other countries.
