Parley
Middle English parlai speech, probably from Middle French parlee, from Medieval Latin parabolare, from Late Latin parabola speech, parable
First Known Use: 1580*
“Parley” is a discussion or conference, especially one between enemies over terms of a truce or points in dispute or other matters; mutual discourse.
The root of the word parley is parler, which is the French verb “to speak”.
Beginning in the High Middle Ages with the expansion of monarchs, a parley, or “talk”, was a meeting held between kings and their Chief Retainers. Parleys were part of the many changes in Europe, especially regarding governments. These meetings can be attributed to the formation of parliaments, which are derived from a similar root, parliamentum, simply meaning “talking”.**
Act V Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare
Drum. Enter BRUTUS, CASSIUS, and their Army; LUCILIUS, TITINIUS, MESSALA, and others
BRUTUS: They stand, and would have parley.

Nous venons de signer cette lettre ouverte pour demander aux chefs d’Etat et de gouvernement de faire de l’école gratuite pour tous les enfants un droit humain universel.
Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and everything. Nevertheless think of if you added some great photos or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this site could certainly be one of the very best in its niche. Superb blog!
Certainly you are right and I’m in the trend to support the content with pictures, or videos, or other, following a similar advice some time ago.
However, most of the articles and views “speak” out about concerns, values and visions. Then you simply reflect!
Thank you for taking time to read and consider. Your view is worthwhile.

As a strong believer that education is the greatest equalizer in life , I think the time has come for Canadians to stand up and recognize we need to be held accountable for the children and youth in these schools. We cannot sit back and expect the same investments for children who live privileged lives will address the systemic issues facing these families and children. Hamilton Community Foundation has lead the way and is recognized nationally for helping to create a community culture that acknowledges and embraces this responsibility. Good luck with you blog.ML
