Home: Escape: A weekend for Kafka: Feel like a bug
A weekend for Kafka: Feel like a bug
I'm in a Kafkaesque mood, thinking of transformations, the helplessness of watching such change through a unique and uninterpretable perception. Perhaps this is because I'm turning 30 this week, and I haven't quite come to terms with that fact. (It was bothering me a year ago, when I wrote A Hint of Rosemary… that story is all about aging.) If a birthday with a "0" on the end isn't enough to trigger an existentialist mood, a series of coincidences with a Kafka theme is.
It started last night. I ran across this delightful and bizarre painting in Carel P. Brest van Kempen's gallery, in which a metamorphosis is striking city dwellers: Metamorphosis: Periodical Cicadas. I've always admired the detail of his wildlife art, so to see it combined with such a surreal image impressed me. I enjoyed the use of a familiar insect, especially one that swarms on a predictable basis. (Like relatives on birthdays?)
When I went over to Carel's blog, I saw the theme continue. Yesterday, he blogged about the Mormon Cricket and other locust-like insects. He even described a species of swarming grasshoppers, now extinct, that used to live here in Colorado:
Until the latter part of the 19th century, the Rocky Mountain Grasshopper (Melanoplus spretus) formed huge migratory swarms billions strong to the east of the Continental Divide. One 1875 aggregation is considered by many to be the most massive insect swarm on record. Eighteen hundred miles long by two hundred miles wide, it blocked the sunlight over most of Colorado and Wyoming. Surprisingly enough, within thirty years the insect was extinct. Today the species only persists in the form of the several centuries old masses frozen into "Grasshopper Glacier," near Cooke, Montana. The precise mechanics of this extinction are unclear; surely the huge ecological changes of that age, when Midwestern prairie metamorphosed into the American grain belt, were involved.
This brings a new image to "wings over the Rockies" if you ask me.
So, by now, I have bugs on the brain. I'm probably not as bad off as the character Bill Lee in the movie Naked Lunch. (The bookby William S. Burroughs, which I've read, is rather different.) In the film, he comes home to discover that his wife is using his bug extermination powder to get a fix. When he asks, she calls the feeling a "literary high."
Bill: What do you mean it's a literary high?
If you'd like to get in the Kafka spirit without ingesting poison, I'd recommend trying the free online adventure game, Kafkamesto:
1922. Somewhere in Prague. Mid-winter.
Cool, eh? I played this game through a few times (there are multiple endings) when Jay reviewed it last fall. Despite the self-criticisms that the authors post to the site, I think they captured the Kafka essence quite well. It's fun to play, although a bit difficult. There are some hints on Jay's site; if they don't help, I might at least have a map lying around here somewhere.
Finally, if you don't have several volumes of Kafka already lurking in the dark corners of your library, you can get a new one here: The Metamorphosis
PS: If anyone is interested, I have a short paper answering the question "What is Existentialism?" …I was fascinated by the idea for many years, without actually understanding what existentialism meant. A little study and writing the paper helped clear up a number of issues for me, so if anyone would like me to post it, let me know.

Geoff Cameron has been cleared to face Liverpool tomorrow night in the Capital One Cup semis after winning his appeal against his red card.
Cameron's dismissal for violent conduct during Stoke's defeat to West Brom on Saturday has been overturned by an independent regulatory commission.
The USA international was sent off for grabbing West Brom's Claudio Yacob by the back of the neck and boss Mark Hughes was adamant it was harsh.
Hughes is pleased Cameron is available to play against Liverpool at the Britannia.
"I think we had a good case," said the Potters boss. "That's the key to it. It wasn't a frivolous one. We were justified to question the decision."

Big screen continuation of the 1960s cartoon series is alternately old-fashioned to a corny degree and modern in the most grating ways. All of the humor is like that of the old series, for those who are fans. I am not so it was like nails on a chalkboard for me while watching this. At least there wasn't a laugh track. The "modern" stuff added includes some environmentalist proselytizing and some truly terrible late '80s/early '90s style pop music. Tiffany and synth beats, folks. Yuck! Speaking of Tiffany, she was brought in to play Judy Jetson and replace Janet Waldo, the original Judy. She does an awful job. Of the rest of the cast, the original voice for Elroy, Daws Butler, had died before this so he had to be replaced. Sadly, both George O'Hanlon and Mel Blanc also died during production. Overall, this is a corny stinker that's saved only by some nice animation. It's very colorful and fluid and I'll give it credit for that. But this is really just something fans of the old show will want to check out for curiosity's sake. I can't imagine anyone else liking it.

Aldo is a store that offers all types of clothing and accessories, but is most known for excellent shoes and handbags. Even though Aldo is very popular and successful they do not currently offer their own store credit card.
Find and compare credit cards for your favorite stores today with the credit card chaser tool.
Even though Aldo does not offer their own credit card they do accept all credit cards as a source of payment on their website. Visa, Master Card, American Express, and Discover Card are all accepted over the secure Aldo website, which is a McAfee Secure website.
The Common Drawbacks to Store Credit Cards
Typically when people have problems with credit card debt, store credit cards are usually to blame. These store specific cards typically have very high interest rates. The APR on most store credit cards is well above 20 percent.
Even though these very high interest rates can mean big trouble for most people store credit cards can actually help the store shopper if they are used properly. This fine line means that the cardholder must be a bit more vigilant in monitoring their store credit cards than they have to be with other credit cards. For great tips on how to fully understand and keep track of your credit cards check out http://www.suzeorman.com
The Best Way to Use Store Credit Cards
If the store credit card comes from a store that the cardholder shops at very frequently the card could actually help the cardholder save money. Many stores offer exclusive discounts to shoppers that make purchases with their store credit card. It is also very common for stores to offer special rewards programs and even monetary rewards for their more frequent shoppers.
When it comes to store credit cards, the most important thing to remember is to pay off the balance before the interest applies. While this is great advice for all types of credit cards the interest tends to be so high on store credit cards that just letting the interest to accumulate for one month can completely erase the value of any rewards earned up until that point.

Gashi and his wife was realy adorable. They house is big and the bed too! Gashi speeks very well english.louiseFebruary 2017
Overall, we liked out stay here and we felt welcome. The photos are accurate and the breakfast was nice. It is a bit far from the center, but a walkable distance. The pin on the map here is a bit off, the right address is a bit further down the road, after the German army area. This is really a hotel and the price shown here is PER PERSON/night. It is not what the host registered and what Airbnb shows, though. We had problems with that while checking out, but they honoured their honest mistake. There were also some communication issues, mainly because he didn't know English very well. That would be easily solved by stating in the description that German is preferred, or just having it all in German. There is also a confusion regarding the amenities. The host understands it as what the hotel offers, whereas we understand it as what we can use ourselves. That being said, there were kitchen and washer, but for hotel use only. Also the room didn't have heating/air conditioning/indoor fireplace. He was also kind enough to give us a lift to the bus station on the rain, for which we are really thankful!Maria CeciliaNovember 2016
Edis was very friendly and helpful. The space was very clean and well taken care of. We really enjoyed our stay. I am working in Kosovo right now, so next time I am in Prizren, I will definitely be back!AndrewJune 2016
M99 is a hostel with a sense for style and beauty. the dorms are well lit and the hostel beautifully central. Besides being a cheerful guy, Edis himself is a sportsman and mountaineer and especially helpfull for those, who care about hiking and mountaineering. he even takes people up in winter with snow shoes as a guide. Highly recommended!JoergJune 2016
We really happy we stayed at Edis' place. It was very clean, comfortable, with heart decorated and central. Edis and his brother are great and we had a lots of interesting conversations! We will definitely come back! Thanks a lot guys! :) Yara&TobiYaraJune 2016
He''s a nice guy who gave as a cool short walking tour. We enjoyed the town!LukasAugust 2016
Great experience and very clean. The host was very careful about the details and made sure the facilities were always polished. Very favourable location and great value for price. Edis had a lot of stories to share and we had some great chats during our stay. The only thing which was a small problem was the single bathroom which was often unavailable in the morning, due to the hostel being fully booked. No big deal though. Great host, would definitely come again.ElioAugust 2016
Edis gave me a warm welcome by inviting me having a cup of kosovo coffee. His brother showed me around the prizren and recommended some good restaurants to eat in. He also helped me out in buying the dokufest ticket.SyafiyyahAugust 2016
Edis and his brother were most hospitable, and the hostel is everything you could wish for. On the verge of the old town, you'll be in walking distance from restaurants and cafes, museums and places of worship. Over the old town looms a medieval fortress with a 360° view of the city, and if you're up for a day trip, Edis will help you organize a hike through the magnificent mountain ridge of Sharr. Highly recommend!PhilipNovember 2016
I enjoyed my stay very much. Warm welcome by the host, Edis took us to a beautiful hike in the mountains and the hostel is very well situated, everything you may need is close.LéaMarch 2017
Afrim is a very good host. He helped us a lot for the beautiful city Prizren. Beds are very comfortable. Home is very clean and fully equipped. Don't hesitate to book his home.AtincJuly 2016
Gezim's house is an architectonical gem. Stylish, fresh and furnished with great taste, very clean, nice and warm in winter, very functional and with an amazing view over Prizren. We spent a lovely weekend here with 3 kids who enjoyed the play corner filled with toys. The beds are comfortable and the neighbourhood is very quiet for a good night sleep after a busy day. The communication with Gezim is great, fast and friendly. We were welcomed by his brother who was trying his best to make us feel welcome and comfortable. What a great pleasure to have been able to spend a weekend at this wonderful house!DanielaJanuary 2017
Great home and host. Big and sweet homeIsmailApril 2017
Afrim was so friendly, helpfull and nice He picked me up from bus station, we went for caffee doentown show me the city and took me to his magnificent apartmantAssafJune 2016
We met Gezim's brother who showed us around the apt and gave us directions into town and a recommendation for dinner. Gezim was quick to respond to my questions and communication was good. The apt was well equipped and comfortable. We only stayed for a day and would of loved to have stayed longer. We had a car and parking was available right outside the apt. The design of the apt is very modern and unique. It's a 10min walk into town and the area is very safe and quiet. Thank you for our stay.KatrinaApril 2016
A fantastic place to stay in a charming city! We were warmly welcomed by the host's brother who lives next door and was available for all our needs any time of day. The host himself, though not in town during our visit, was readily available via email and responded promptly to everything. It was winter, and though Prizren is cold, the house was extremely warm and comfortable. I was touched that the host's brother thoughtfully welcomed us each with a new pair of slippers to ensure our feet would stay warm (though the house is excellently heated anyway). The home is exactly as portrayed in the listing and located in a quiet neighborhood about 10 minutes walk from the picturesque river running through Prizren and many sights of interest. Supermarkets, pharmacies, bakeries and other necessities were all within 5 minutes of the home. We look forward to exploring Prizren again, and wouldn't choose any other host!AnaJanuary 2016
Gentle host, but he wasn't there when we arrived and he spoke only limited german. Also he claimed that we hadn't payed, so he insisted on us paying cash also, meaning that we paid double price.TrygveJuly 2016
Stay was non-existant. Host was not there when we arrived but old man demanded 20€ cash so we told them to get stuffed. This was after a long conversation and an agreement about cost.DaveJuly 2016
Agron succeeded in surpassing every expectation I could possibly have to an airbnb host - in terms of flat quality, hospitality, personality, everything! I accidentally ended up in Pristina after the last bus had gone, and Agron went out of his way to help me make it to Prizren, an adventure that involved several phone conversations between him, a bus driver, a cab driver and a helpful Albanian girl to get me to the right place. When I finally arrived - much later than I had originally announced - Agron came to pick me up, and after having checked me in, he took me for an evening stroll through lovely Prizren to show me the main points of interest. On top of that, he arranged my bus drive to Tirana after my stay, and drove me to the station himself. What a host! The flat has everything you could wish for - it is smack in the middle of town, less than a minute away from the river. It has two wonderful, spacious terrasses, one of them with a view to the mountains and the old citadel. The flat is spacious and comfortable and would make the perfect base for a stay in Prizren, whether you're there for just one night or for a week or more. And to make my arrival even more pleasant, Agron had put out a bottle of wine for me. So if the beautiful Prizren nights with crowds of people promenading along the river, the cultural diversity, the ćevapčićis, the Turkish tea, and the rich history of Prizren isn't enough for you, stay at Agron's. And Prizren will not feel more welcoming.MartinJuly 2016
This must be the best place to stay in Prizren. Agron and his wife, Valbona, were incredibly welcoming during our entire stay. When we first arrived, they made us coffee and offered us a taste of their homemade rakija liquor. They made many great suggestions on what to do and where to eat in Prizren, and we enjoyed all of those recommendations. They also arranged breakfast for us at a cafe around the corner free-of-charge to us. The apartment is very spacious, bright, warm and quiet. The two balconies are great and offer beautiful views of the mountains and city. The apartment couldn't be located in a better part of the city, too. Lots of cafes, bars and shopping were within short walking distance. You can also walk up to the fortress from the apartment. I would absolutely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone traveling to Prizren.KatyaAugust 2016
Agron's and Valbona's flat in Prizren is perfect. It is spacious, full of light and well-equipped, with two balconies offering a spectacular view on the city. His family is most helpful and makes you feel home in this fascinating city. We strongly recommend it. (l'appartement est formidable est sans doute le meilleur endroit pour découvrir Prizren)ChristopheSeptember 2016
If you come to Prizren you need to stay here. It made our trip something very special. First off Agron helped us get to and from the bus stop which im glad he did. He and his wife showed us around the apartment and made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay very comfortable. They gave us some time to ourselves and offered us a mini tour around the city which was fantastic. They pointed out all of the great places to to eat and drink and the best spots to visit. Agron and his wife seem to be a staple in the community, it felt like everyone knew them. They were so great in answering all of our questions and helping us with everything. The room was our little slice of paradise. They had thought of every detail for their guests. Firstly the view incredible. You guys should advertise this more! Its a great view of the city :) The place has TWO balconies. and like i said before, every detail was considered. The towels were soft (which is rare) and the bed was super comfortable. We havent slept this well in a while. We had everything we could possibly need, an iron, the washing machine and soap, little kitchen utensils and spices if you like, things for coffee. It was heaven to wake up and make my own cup of coffee. AND the bottle of wine for the evening! :) Prizren would not have been the amazing stay that it was if we hadnt stayed here. You are right in the city, seconds away from the main area but somehow the room was quiet. We had no problems sleeping. They helped us plan our bus for when we left and were around for help any time we needed it. OH not to mention the breakfast at a nearby restaurant they arranged for us! Like i said, they thought of everything. It was so so so amazing. Thank you so much for everythingKittyJuly 2016
Die Unterkunft war so wie beschrieben und auf den Fotos dargestellt. Sehr nettes persönliche Willkommensgeschenk: eine Flasche Rotwein aus dem Kosovo und after eight. Der Kühlschrank war mit Getränken aufgefüllt; unter anderem auch mit sehr gutem Raki. Sehr genaue und ausführliche Erklärung der Wohnung durch Agron: Küche, techn. Geräte, TV etc. Die TV-Anlage ist auf den neusten Stand, inkl. 3D-Brillen u. Programm. Als Deutschsprachiger war mir wichtig, auch ab und zu Deutsches TV sehen zu können: kein Problem, war alles zu empfangen! Agron und seine Frau waren immer sehr hilfsbereit, und es war ihnen wichtig, dass man sich in der Wohnung wohlfühlt. Besonders schön sind die beiden Balkone mit Stühlen, Tischen und einem Sonnenschirm. Es waren sehr schöne drei Wochen, die ich in der Gastwohnung von Agron verbringen durfte und ich kann die Wohnung, die top zentral liegt, sehr empfehlen. Ich werde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen!SebastianMay 2016
Argon and his wife were great hosts who greeted me at the door and were around if needed. The apartment is wonderful--large, well decorated with comfy sofas and bed, candles, ambient lighting, and two balconies in a central part of the city. I only stayed one night, but wish I could have stayed longer, as this was one of my favorite Airbnb apartments I've stayed in.VickiNovember 2016
The appartment is just perfect! Its clean, well-decorated and very homey. Agron and his wife were very friendly and patient. They answered all our questions and made us feel very comfortable. The flat is located right in the middle of beautiful Prizren! Unfortunately we stayed there only one night, but we will definately get back! Highly recommended!YoavOctober 2016
The flat was brand new. It was in the old part of the town and very close to famous Shatervan. The beds were very comfy. There was plenty of cooking materials and kitchen utensils. Apartment was very clean. The street is a little bit steep and may not be good for people with walking difficulty. Gezim was very helpful before and after booking. His niece who welcomed us was very friendly and kind.AsumanSeptember 2015
Gizem's appartment was absolutely fantastic. It was spacious, clean and very well located in a quiet side street only 5 min walk from the old city center. We did not meet Gizem, but we did meet his brother Afrim who was really kind! He picked us up from the bus station, even looked up the bus schedule to our next stop Skopje and brought us back to the bus station the day we had to leave. We had a great time in Prizren, a beautifully renovated and sparkling city with so many kind people. Thank you Gizem and Afrim for hosting us. We will definitely come back!MirjamJune 2016
We contacted Gezim on the day and it was possible to sleep in the apartment the same night. Quick and adequate response. The rest of he communication was with a niece of Gezim, who lives close to the apartment. She is a very nice lady, friendly, helpful, she even helped us with doing our laundry. The apartment is new, very nice, modern and clean. Location close to the beautiful city centre. Very recommandable.jelleMay 2015
The apartment was modern, comfortable and in an excellent location. It is on the hillside but only about a 5-10 minute walk from the center of Prizren. There are several flights of steps up to the apartment. The view from both the balcony and the bedroom windows was great. All the amenities were there except for a TV, which we really didn't need. Everything worked well including Wi-fi. Beds were comfortable. Afrim was a great host. He gave us rides to and from the bus, and helped us bring our suitcases up to the apartment. He is very friendly and helpful and his English is excellent. Prizren is a very interesting and lively historic city. Highly recommend it and this apartment as well.DanJune 2016
Gezim's place was very nice, clean, warm and close to the center. It had a fully equipped kitchen, which is hard to find in the Balkans. I'd stay there again.BrittanyJanuary 2016
Deuxième séjour dans cet appartement : tout simplement parfait. Un super appart, et des hôtes accueillants et gentils !BlertaAugust 2016
Gezim replied quickly to my message asking to stay the day before we arrived in Prizren, and we were greeted warmly at the bus station by Afram, his brother, and Laureta, his niece, who very kindly drove us and our bags to the apartment. The entire flat was just as shown, impeccably clean and well-decorated, and perfectly cozy for my two friends and I. The apartment is also very well-located in the town for anything you might want to do, from cafe-visiting to seeing the old castle walls up the hill. Afram and Laureta gave us great recommendations for things to do in Prizren, and Afram even drove us to the airport when we had to leave. We very much enjoyed chatting with both Laureta and Afram who were not only excellent hosts but also super interesting to chat with as well! We only wish we had been able to stay longer in Prizren.MeghanSeptember 2015
Die Unterkunft liegt in den malerischen verwinkelten Gassen über der Altstadt und ist mit dem Auto nicht leicht zu finden. Wir wurden am vereinbarten Treffpunkt pünktlich abgeholt und zur Wohnung geleitet. Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und verlässlich. Die Wohnung ist hell, modern eingerichtet und im Winter gut geheizt. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet.AnitaNovember 2015
Metodi is the best possible introducer to exploring Popova Sapka. Not only is he probably the most friendly guy you met, he also knows all there is to know about the mountains. Easy to talk to, answers quickly and helps one getting around.EriqMarch 2017
Awesome place with awesome hosts. Scenic view from the terrace and fully equipped kitchen. Very warm and pleasant house. I recommend staying at Metodi's place !YuliyanFebruary 2017

nous avons passé une soirée mémorable avec la famille de Dori. ça a été vin plaisir de les rencontrer et de partager ces moments. l appartement est spacieux et propre, tout était parfait.PierreAugust 2016
Fatmir and Sofi' s house is really special place. Full of kindness,hospitality and nice conversation! See you soon!andreaAugust 2016
Dori and her Parents are just the best hosts we have ever encountered via Airbnb. We spend a great time at their place, having Dinner together with the family. All family members are extremely kind and helpful and we had good conversation too. Don't travel Albania without passing by here!!!MatthiasSeptember 2016
We loved staying at Dori's parents' house ! They welcomed us as if we were family, we had dinner with them it was a perfect time in Kukes! People in Kukes will help you to find your way if needed and Dori was available on the phone through (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) so perfect. If you come to Kukes do not miss them!MartinAugust 2016
If you happen to come through Kukës, you shouldn't miss the opportunity to meet Dori's family. Very kind and welcoming people, and thanks to their hospitality, Kukës will remain in our memories as a special place indeed.MartinOctober 2016
All the family was the nicest we could find. Dori, her younger brother, her awesome parents, her sister, her little niece and little cousin... They provided us with everything we could expect and even more. Dori was coming home, so they gave us a ride from prizren, welcome drinks, a great dinner... Even in the morning her father went to the minivans with us, to arrange a good ride back to prizren. Kukes is beautiful, and it's was so so easy to get around because of them. The bed was huge, good showers, Internet... We advise you to meet a truly great Albanian family. Thanks for everything!RitaSeptember 2015
I only miss not seeing Dori because her family were amazing hosts! Although father and mother do not speak very good English, they did everything possible to make our stay pleasant on our way in Albania. If you are in the region, there's no better place to stay. They even went to look for us in the neighbourhood with a flashlight because we were very late and had no phone reception!!BoykoAugust 2015

Armed British police arrest man with knives near May's office
LONDON Armed British police officers arrested a man carrying knives near Prime Minister Theresa May's office in London on Thursday on suspicion of preparing an act of terrorism.
NIMBA-BUCHANAN RAILWAY, Liberia In the muggy forest of central Liberia, a gang of workers is inching its way along a railway track, cut long and straight through an otherwise impenetrable mesh of trees and vines. The drone of insects is interrupted by a high-pitched drill and the clang of hammers as workers put the finishing touches to the perfectly aligned steel tracks.
Casting a watchful eye over the crew of workers is Lewis C. Dogar, a veteran of Liberia's railway. Dogar and a handful of colleagues have been brought out of retirement to help reclaim hundreds of kilometers of track from the jungle.
The softly spoken 64-year-old remembers Liberia's booming 1960s and 1970s, when trains laden with iron ore wound south from the mine on the mist-shrouded Mount Nimba to the sweaty port town of Buchanan. That finished with the outbreak of fighting, and two back-to-back civil wars that lasted 14 years. The conflict, which finally ended in 2003, left more than 200,000 people dead and Liberia's finances and infrastructure in ruins.
The gang of Liberian railway workers is a small sign things may finally be improving. Some of the men have only recently swapped their weapons for blue overalls and yellow hard hats. "We have a few young boys coming out of high school," Dogar says. "I am happy that I am around to train people."
Hiring locals might seem unremarkable on a continent with an oversupply of cheap labor. But the issue of who works on Africa's big infrastructure projects has come into sharp focus in recent years. At building sites from Angola to Zambia, teams of Chinese workers often do the work instead of Africans. Where locals are employed, their rough treatment by Chinese managers has stirred bitterness. In Zambia last October, the Chinese managers of Collum Mine shot and wounded 11 local coal miners protesting over pay and working conditions.
That growing resentment is one reason why Brazilian engineering group Odebrecht, contracted to get Liberia's railway rolling again, made a conscious decision to employ locals for the job -- and treated them well.
"It worked perfectly," says project manager Pedro Paulo Tosca, who decided to divide the 240 km (149 miles) of track into sections and assign dozens of separate villages along the way to clear them. "The majority of the heavy work was activities that we could perform with local manpower instead of bringing sophisticated equipment to the site."
Odebrecht's initiative is not solely altruistic, of course. The unlisted company sees big profits in Africa. But as it pushes into the continent, Odebrecht and other Brazilian firms are using every chance they have to keep up with their Chinese rivals, who often enjoy a massive financing advantage thanks to the deep pockets of Beijing, and who rarely pay much attention to factors like human rights.
As investment in Africa grows -- foreign direct investment surged to just under $59 billion in 2009 from around $10 billion at the turn of the century, according to UNCTAD, the U.N.'s agency that monitors global trade -- so too do the expectations of host nations, who want not just trade, roads and bridges, but also jobs and training. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, World Bank managing director and a former finance minister in Nigeria, told one of China's biggest mining conferences in November that investors in Africa need to work with local communities to avoid conflicts and start building the real economy rather than just stripping resources. If it can build a reputation for doing just that, Brazil thinks, it might help it stay in the game.
"If (Brazil) wants to distinguish itself from the other emerging powers, it needs to demonstrate what is different about its engagement with Africa based on the principles it espouses as a democratic country," says Sanusha Naidu, research director of the China/Emerging Powers in Africa Program at Fahamu, a Cape Town-based organization that promotes human rights and social justice. "It will also have to reconcile its economic ambitions in Africa with its posture of being a democracy, especially in cases where it does business with essentially corrupt and malevolent regimes in Africa."
Odebrecht's decision to employ people who live along the track is clearly popular. After seven years of peace, Liberia's economy is only slowly getting back on its feet. In Buchanan, the port, small businesses are feeding off the rebirth of the railway, winning contracts to clean offices, transport material or put food on the plates of workers. Though accurate figures are hard to come by, Liberia's unemployment rate is believed to top 80 percent. Such is the hunger for jobs that a number of the new railway workers have come from the capital, Monrovia, hundreds of miles away.
As you head north toward the mines the only real signs of development are the rubber-tapping collection points in the clearings that pepper the thick green forest. President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf may have stabilized the nation but she faces re-election later this year and is struggling to convince people the economy is on the mend. Odebrecht's 2007 decision to employ 3,000 villagers was a significant boost.
"We are happy with what we are earning Something is better than nothing," says Abraham Browne, a village contractor, between scooping mountains of rice into his mouth during a lunch break. Browne has swapped subsistence farming for a daily wage of about $4.50 for hammering nails into the tracks: "It helps us send our brothers and sisters to school because some of our parents are dead, killed in the war. It helps us a lot."
Odebrecht asked each community along the track to select a leader, with whom the Brazilian firm then signed a contract. The company has completed more than 75 percent of the work with Liberian labor, says manager Tosca. It has also trained up teams of engineers, technicians and accountants to help run its offices. The first iron ore, from a mine run by Luxembourg-based ArcelorMittal, is due in mid-2011.
In terms of cost, the decision to hire locally "is cheaper because labor here is not expensive," says Tosca. "Of course, you have a learning curve. The risk of accidents is higher -- therefore you have to invest more time in training. (But with machines), if you have a breakdown, to have a part here, to replace it, takes several weeks, if not months."
Tosca says the company believes it has an obligation to help the local economy, which in turn helps the company. "You create loyalty. They wear the shirt of the company It is (a) kind of chemistry," he says.
Former human rights activist Kofi Woods, now Liberia's minister for public works, says Brazil is an "important partner" in developing the country.
Brazil is working that message hard. Former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who stepped down in January, spent a good part of his eight years in power selling Brazil as Africa's partner and highlighting the ways in which Brazil is built on the "work, sweat and blood of Africans" shipped across the Atlantic during the slave trade. Lula visited 25 African nations, doubled the number of Brazilian embassies in Africa and boosted trade to $26 billion in 2008 from $3.1 billion in 2000.
Gilberto Carvalho, chief of staff for Dilma Rousseff, Lula's hand-picked successor who won a presidential run-off late last year, told Reuters that Africa will remain a top priority, not just for the new team but for Lula too. The former president has long said he would like to some further, but as yet unspecified, role on the continent.
Brazilians seeking to do business in Africa are quick to play up the cultural ties between the two places: dishes based on palm oil, beans, okra and cashew nuts, the African religions that live on across Brazil, the fact that almost 90 million Brazilians have African roots. Inevitably, football player Pele helps bring down barriers among Africans passionate about the game, Brazilians say. "Brazilians are well-received in these countries," says a Brazilian diplomat serving in West Africa. "We are a mixed country. We have cultures from lots of countries. We were a colony, so people see us as equals. They don't see us as a power that comes to colonize."
Adriana de Queiroz, Executive Coordinator at the Brazilian Center for International Relations, a think tank, says that attitude helps. "We are going there to form partnerships and to build up our companies," de Queiroz says. "Petrobras, for example, is not going to Africa to bring back oil to Brazil. It is to grow the company in other markets. China is not there for this reason. They are there to extract resources."
While China is increasingly keen to emphasize non-resource related projects, like helping countries set up special economic zones to boost local industries, the differences have not gone unnoticed in Africa.
Mthuli Ncube, chief economist and vice president of the African Development Bank (AfDB) Group says conditions that some African nations agreed with China have, in effect, created "a barrier to employment creation" as China imports its own labor. Brazil, on the other hand, has gone beyond commercial ties to include social programs and alliances with African countries. "Brazil's value of accountability when engaging with African nations is bearing importance, especially when compared to China and its 'no strings attached policy' that some African governments are increasingly finding offensive."
When it comes to sheer numbers, though, Brazil still lags a long way behind. China's agile, state-backed policies have pushed Beijing's trade with Africa to $107 billion a year. India too, has boosted links: India-Africa trade is about $32 billion a year. That puts Brazil, with $20 billion in trade in 2010 (it slipped after the credit crunch), in third place. Rounding out the BRIC economies, Russia trails a distant fourth, with just $3.5 billion in 2009, according to IMF data.
Brazil's weak points are many. Start with financing. China has long enjoyed links with Africa, but the bonds have deepened since 2000, when Beijing embarked on a series of resource-backed deals in which Africa handed over oil, bauxite, iron ore and copper and cobalt in return for dams, power plants and other infrastructure projects worth billions of dollars. Chinese firms enjoy a plethora of financing opportunities from institutions like the China Exim Bank, the Bank of China and the China Development Bank. Sweeping in behind these deals, Chinese businesses -- from small street traders to mid-sized companies dealing in everything from construction materials to hotels -- have set up shop across the continent.
Brazilian firms looking to invest in Africa can tap BNDES, Brazil's national development bank, for financing, while Banco do Brasil, Latin America's largest bank by assets and Brazil's biggest state-run bank, announced expansion plans last August to exploit growing demand for loans and other products in Africa. But that still leaves Brazil Inc. well behind its Chinese counterparts. "BNDES plays an important role but it is limited by the conditions that prohibit it from financing in more unstable markets," says Sergio Foldes, international director at the bank, which has about $2 billion in projects in Africa.
That's one reason for the huge gap between China and Brazil's performance in Africa. Frontier Advisory, a South African-based consultancy, estimates the number of Chinese firms operating in Africa rose to 2,000 in 2008 from 800 in 2006. Those companies range from resource and construction firms to textile manufacturers and telecommunications companies. Brazilian companies, on the other hand, tend to be traditional resource firms like Vale and Petrobras and are concentrated in a handful of countries: Angola, where Odebrecht has been active for more than 25 years, Egypt, Mozambique, Nigeria and South Africa.
Investment levels also tell the tale. By 2007, cumulative Chinese foreign direct investment in Africa had reached $13.5 billion, or 14 percent of all Chinese FDI, Frontier Advisory said. Brazilian FDI in Africa between 2001 and 2008 added up to just $1.12 billion, according to the Brazilian Central Bank. "Brazilian resource and construction firms ... do not offer such comprehensive packages," says Hannah Edinger, senior manager and head of research at Frontier Advisory.
The Brazilian Center for International Relations' Adriana de Queiroz concedes that the gap in support for Brazilian business remains large. "Brazil isn't in a position to compete with the (Chinese) model because we can't even get close to the volume of financing," she says. "We don't have the resources for that."
Indeed, Chinese foreign exchange reserves at $2.85 trillion dwarf Brazil's $298 billion. "Our government is not going to fund projects in countries where there is a high level of risk," says de Queiroz. "Chinese capital, in contrast, has a greater appetite for risk."
Brazil knows it has to be more aggressive in financing, says Brazil's former foreign trade secretary Welmer Barral. "The Chinese are very aggressive in finance so we are trying to empower our capacity to finance different projects in Africa, especially in construction services."
But as one experience in the tiny central African nation of Gabon seems to show, it's not just finance where China is more aggressive.
The rich but technically challenging iron ore concession of Belinga had been ignored by the international mining community for years when it came under scrutiny about six years ago thanks to rocketing iron ore prices. Gabon's then-president Omar Bongo had long used the country's oil wealth to buy social peace, largely by allowing rampant corruption among his allies and co-opting and coercing the opposition. But Gabon's oil reserves were dwindling and Bongo saw a chance to cash in on another hot commodity.
In March 2005, Brazilian miner Vale secured an exploration contract and began work on feasibility studies for an iron ore mine -- a complex undertaking due to environmental concerns. Before Vale was done with its study, a Chinese joint venture called CMEC came in promising to complete the job more quickly and throw in a hydro-electric plant, a railway and deep water port. When the Brazilians said they were unable to complete the project as quickly, it was handed to the Chinese.
Local media swiftly reported that corruption had helped in the decision, though both Chinese and Gabonese officials denied the allegation. "There was never irrefutable proof that this happened but I heard that money had changed hands," says a western diplomat who was serving in Gabon at the time. The diplomat says a number of cabinet ministers had been seeking to take advantage of the aging president to cut deals behind his back on the project: "The problem was that Bongo had not been included in the deal."
In 2007, according to Brazil's Folha de S. Paulo newspaper, quoting leaked U.S. diplomatic cables, senior Vale officials pointed to the Gabon incident in warnings to the U.S. ambassador in Brazil that China's growing influence in Africa threatened international markets.
In the end, amid warnings from Chinese engineers that the project was indeed more complicated and expensive than they had previously claimed, a row broke out over plans to build a dam on a protected waterfall. The collapse of commodity prices during the global crisis, and Bongo's death in 2009 sealed the mining project's demise. Ali Bongo, the late president's son and successor, has called for a review and there is talk of bringing the Brazilians back onboard.
For listed companies like Vale "there are constraints on corporate misconduct. However, in the longer term, Brazilian companies may see this as a competitive advantage in terms of differentiating themselves from other emerging market players. Why compete with the Chinese on that level (of corruption)? It is better to keep their powder dry and wait for the Chinese to fall at the technical level," says Chris Melville, senior associate at political risk consultancy Menas Associates. "Unlike their Chinese competitors, Brazilian firms spend a lot of time and effort seeking to align their interests with those of their hosts -- not just governments, but broader economic and social interests. They're still motivated by making profits, of course, but they recognize that aligned interests are the key to long-term and sustainable profit-making."
So what, besides jobs and sweet talk, can Brazil offer Africa?
"For Brazilian companies to compete with Chinese companies, it is necessary for them to offer more transfer of technology and more local employment," says Renato Flores, an analyst at Fundacao Getulio Vargas, a Brazilian think-tank.
Flores sees Brazil's greatest potential in agriculture. Over the last 30 years, Brazil has reversed its status as an importer of foodstuffs to become a leading producer of soybeans, sugar, coffee, oranges, poultry and beef. It is a world expert in bio-fuels. Agricultural exports are around $75 billion a year and the industry contributes about six percent of Brazil's GDP.
Almost three-quarters of Africans still rely on the land for their work, but most farms are subsistence level. The continent missed the Green Revolution that transformed India and China and has battled recurrent food shortages. The U.N.'s Food and Agriculture Organization estimates Africa needs $11 billion in agriculture investment a year to feed its growing population.
But change is happening. Corporations, investment funds and other nations with little land see vast potential in a continent which uses less than a quarter of its 500 million hectares of arable land. After years of neglect, African governments have pledged to devote at least 10 percent of budgets to agriculture and set themselves the goal of making the continent a net exporter of agricultural products by 2015.
To unlock its potential, Africa needs to revamp its infrastructure, introduce large-scale mechanization and improve varieties and yields.
That's where Brazil comes in. Brazil is already making its research available to various African nations to give their agricultural sectors a boost. In 2008, the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation EMBRAPA set up shop in Ghana, for instance. Brazilian scientists began working on everything from growing and processing tropical fruit and vegetables to producing meat, managing forests and, significantly, developing agri-energy.
"One of the expectations is that what we have done in terms of our tropical agriculture could be replicated in Africa," says Antonio Prado, coordinator for international technical cooperation at EMBRAPA. "There are similarities in soil, climate and temperatures."
For now, as in other sectors, real financial muscle is lacking. At the moment, according to Prado, Brazil's government spends just $17 million or so a year on agricultural cooperation projects in Africa. In 2009, China loaned a single country -- Angola -- $1 billion to rebuild its farming sector, crippled by years of fighting.
But that doesn't mean Brazil is irrelevant.
"What they are very much trying to do is use their comparative advantage in a few fields," Willem Janssen, an agricultural specialist at the World Bank, adding that relationships, for now, appeared to be based on knowledge, rather than money. "You can do that if you believe you have a lot of knowledge or not a lot of money. It is probably a bit of both," he added.
However sweetly Brazil talks, though, there is potential for friction. Brazil's biofuel industry is growing fast. It's already a leading producer of sugarcane ethanol for cars. The country is also the world's sixth largest manufacturer of cars, the vast majority of them with flex-fuel engines that can run on both petrol and sugarcane ethanol.
As part of its broader push to compete with China, Brazil wants to secure a position as a global provider of ethanol. To do that, it will need a lot of land.
"We are transferring a lot of knowledge and technology about biofuels to many African countries, on one hand because we believe it is a way to create wealth locally that is an alternative for many of these countries," said Barral, Brazil's former trade secretary. "On the other hand to create a world market for biofuels, we need more partners, we need more producers."
But while supporters of biofuel crops say they will help fight climate change and generate badly needed power and income, critics say they will take food out of hungry mouths by turning arable land over to fuel crops, stoking tension with local communities.
A study by Friends of the Earth last August said biofuel demand was driving a new "land grab" in Africa. There have been protests following land acquisitions by foreign companies in Tanzania, Madagascar and Ghana; tensions are also mounting in Sierra Leone. If Brazilian biofuel producers push aggressively into Africa the potential for conflict will grow.
Back in Liberia, Lewis C. Dogar ponders life during his country's civil war. Women were raped, children trained as soldiers, resources plundered.
"It is a story I don't even want to think about," he says, as he recalls the way he had used homemade carts known as "makeaways" to transport goods from village to village along the track. "(There were) no brakes. You just looked up to the Lord and (told) him 'I am coming home.'"

Ray Kelly, NYPD, Sued For Refusing to Release Crime Stats From Scandal-Tained Brooklyn Precinct
Continuing its record of stone-walling public inquiry, the NYPD is refusing to release crime statistics for the past 11 years from the scandal-tainted 81st Precinct in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn.
As a result, the New York Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit this week asking a judge to force the department to follow the state's Freedom of Information Law. The law places "statistical or factual tabulations or data" squarely within the sorts of records that public agencies are required to make public.
The 81st Precinct was the nexus of the scandal involving Police Officer Adrian Schoolcraft, who was carted off to a psychiatric ward three weeks after making allegations that his commanders were manipulating crime statistics. Schoolcraft secretly made recordings inside the precinct, which were the centerpiece of the Voice's award-winning "NYPD Tapes" series. The disclosures led to several internal investigations, and transfers and disciplinary action against the commander and four of his subordinates.
To its credit, the NYPD has released 11 years of so-called biannual quality assurance reports for every other precinct in the city. The reason for refusing to release the report for the 81st? The disclosure would "interfere with and hamper active and ongoing investigations by several units of the NYPD."

What that exactly means is unclear, as the department didn't offer any more detail. The Schoolcraft incident took place now more than two years ago, and Kelly isn't likely to file charges against anyone else from the 81st Precinct.
One of the investigations was being performed by a three-member panel of former federal prosecutors appointed by Commissioner Kelly. That review was supposed to be complete last June. Six months later, no word on its status is emanating from One Police Plaza. One panel member, Robert Morvillo died late last month.
Kelly has insisted that the amount of crime under-reporting is minimal. But no outside entity has ever done a serious audit of the crime statistics.
Schoolcraft is suing the city, and remains suspended without pay.
