			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In July several Estonian language experts will be coming to Australia to talk about What is happening with the Estonian Language.   All  who can understand the language, are invited to participate in the seminars.</p>
<p>One can talk a lot about Estonian &#8211; one of the most pleasant sounding languages, but only with a small number of speakers. Some have heartache about this, whereas others could not care less.</p>
<p>A language keeps living, as long as it is used, is thought about and cared for. There are many scientist in the world, who are researching and caring about Estonian, even here, in Australia. To remember the importance of Estonian, it has become traditional both in Estonia and abroad to reserve specific days devoted to discussing the language. For the first time it is also happening in Australia.</p>
<p>For that occasion six known Estonian language specialists are visiting: <strong>Dr Mati Erelt</strong>,  Professor Emeritus of the University of Tartu is going to talk about the changing language, <strong>Annika Kilgi</strong>, a doctorate student will speak about the language used by the youth and an experienced language teacher and teaching materials specialist <strong>Leeelo Kingisepp</strong> is going to introduce materials for teaching Estonian abroad. <strong>Dr Helle Metslang</strong>, a Professor of Estonian and the Head of the Institute of General Lingustics at the University of Tartu will cover what is easy and what is difficult in Estonian, one of the compilers of the Dictionary of Correct Use, <strong>Maire Raadik</strong> will describe new words in Estonian and  <strong>Dr. Jüri Valge</strong> from the Estonian Ministry of Education and Science will make a prognosis of the future of Estonian.</p>

<h3>Kuidas elad, armas eesti keel?</h3>
<p>Juulikuus tulevad Austraaliasse eesti keeleteadlased siinsetele eestlastele sellest rääkima. Tulge kõik kuulama ja oma mõtteid avaldama !</p>
<p>Eesti keelest &#8211; ühest kaunima kõlaga, kuid väikese kõnelejatearvuga keelest maailmas &#8211; võib palju rääkida. Mõni valutab selle pärast südant, teine aga ei mõtle selle peale palju.</p>
<p>Keel elab, kui seda kasutatakse, kui tema peale mõeldakse ja tema eest hoolt kantakse. Eesti keelt uurivaid ja sellest hoolivaid keeleteadlasi on maailmas arvukalt, nii Eestis kui ka välismaadel, isegi siin, Austraalias. Eesti keele tähtsuse meelespidamiseks on juba traditsiooniks kujunenud pidada emakeelepäevi nii Eestis kui ka välismaal. Esimest korda toimub see ka Austraalias.</p>
<p>Sel puhul külastavad meid kuus tuntud eesti keele teadlast:</p>
<p>1. Filoloogiadoktor, Tartu Ulikooli emeriitprofessor Mati Erelt, kes räägib teemal “Mida eestlane ütleb teistmoodi kui varem”.</p>
<p>2. Filoloogiamagister, Tallinna Ülikooli lektor ja keeleteaduse doktorant Annika Kilgi, kelle ettekande pealkiri on “Eesti noored ja eesti keel”.</p>
<p>3. Filoloogiamagister Leelo Kingisepp, kes on töötanud eesti, soome ja inglise keele õpetajana tutvustab välisõppeks sobivaid eesti keele õppematerjale.</p>
<p>4. Filosoofiadoktor, Tartu Ülikooli professor, eesti ja üldkeeleteaduse instituudi juhataja Helle Metslang kõneleb teemal “Eesti keel: lihtne ja keerukas”.</p>
<p>5. Eesti Keele Instituudi vanemkeelekorraldaja, ühe õigekeelsusõnaraamatu koostaja Maire Raadiku ettekanneteks on “Uued sõnad eesti keeles” ja “Inglise ja vene mõjud eesti sõnavaras” (Sydney kirikusaalis).</p>
<p>6. Filoloogiakandidaat (PhD), Haridus- ja Teadusministeeriumi keeleosakonna nõunik Jüri Valge räägib teemadel “Eestikeelse tuleviku nimel” ja “Eesti keel ja eestlus muutuvas ajas”(Sydney kirikusaalis).</p>
<p>Kokkutulekud toimuvad:</p>
<p>* Melbourne’i Eesti Majas, 43 Melville St., West Brunswick, pühapäeval, 19. juulil,algusega kell 13.00 (täiskava),</p>
<p>* Sydney Eesti Majas, 141 Campbell St. Darlinghurst, neljapäeval, 23. juulil,Seenioride Koondise kokkutulekul, algusega kell 11.00 (lühendkava),</p>
<p>* Thirlmere’i Eesti Küla saalis, Estonian Rd., Thirlmere, reedel, 24. juulil,Huviringi kokkutulekul, algusega kell 14.00 (lühendkava),</p>
<p>* Sydney eesti kirikusaalis, 11 Waratah St., North Strathfield, laupäeval, 25. juulil,algusega 10.30 (täiskava)</p>
<p>Sydney Eesti Maja ja Thirlmere kavad on lühemad ja erinevad Melbourne’is ja Sydney kirikusaalis toimuvast programmist.</p>
<p>Kõik on oodatud!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Starting from June 29th, 2009, all applicants of Estonian travel documents are required to give their fingerprints. The fingerprints are included onto the chip inside the passport cover. Children above the age of 6 are also required to give fingerprints, children below the age of 6 will not have to give fingerprints. As the result of compulsory fingerprint-giving, the procedure of applying for repeated passports by mail will change. In the future, it is possible to apply for a repeated passport by mail only in the case when the person has already received one passport containing fingerprints and less than 2 years have passed since the issuance of this passport. It is possible to apply for a repeated passport by mail until 20June 28th, 2009 (passport applications bearing a postal stamp of=2 0a later date will not be reviewed without fingerprints &#8211; the applicant will have to go to an Estonian foreign representation or to Estonia to give fingerprints). Applications for repeated passports until June 28th, 2009 can be submitted by those persons, whose passport will expire soon (a few months are left until the expiration date) or by persons who for any other reason would like to receive a new passport. There are no changes in the procedure of applying for the initial passport (applications can be turned in at Estonian foreign representations, it is not possible to submit them to the Honorary Consuls). Additional information concerning the fingerprint-taking, use of fingerprints and other questions can be found on the website of the <a href="http://www.mig.ee/index.php/mg/eng/identity_documents/fingerprints_in_travel_documents" target="_blank">Citizenship and Migration Board</a> .</p>
<p>***</p>
<p>Alates 29. juunist 2009 on kõikidel Eesti reisidokumentide=2 0taotlejatel kohustuslik anda oma sõrmejäljed. Sõrmejäljed lisatakse passis olevale kiibile. Sõrmejälgi võetakse lastelt alates 6ndast eluaastast, alla 6-aastased lapsed sõrmejälgi andma ei pea. Seoses kohustusliku sõrmejälgede hõivamisega muutub posti teel korduvpassi taotlemise kord. Posti teel saab korduvpassi edaspidi taotleda vaid siis, kui isik on üks kord oma sõrmejäljed dokumendi taotlemisel juba andnud ja sellest on möödunud vähem kui 2 aastat. Posti teel saab korduvpassi taotlusi esitada veel kuni 28. juunini 2009 (hilisema postitempli kuupäeva kandva taotluse korral tuleb sõrmejälgede hõivamiseks isiklikult kohale minna Eesti välisesindusse või tulla sõrmejälgi andma Eestisse, Kodakondsus- ja Migratsiooniameti büroodesse). Korduvpassi võivad posti teel kuni 28. juunini k.a taotleda need, kelle passi kehtivusaeg hakkab varsti lõppema (lõppemiseni on jäänud mõned kuud) või muul põhjusel passi uuendada soovijad. Esmapassi taotlemisel muutusi ei ole (taotlusi saab esitada Eesti välisesindustes, aukonsulite kaudu ei ole võimalik seda teha). Täiendavat teavet sõrmejälgede hõivamise, nende kasutamise ja muude küsimuste kohta saab <a href="http://www.mig.ee/index.php/m g/est/isikut_toendavad_dokumendid/sormejaeljed_reisidokumentides" target="_blank">Kodakondsus- ja Migratsiooniameti kodulehelt</a></p>
