Shri Ram Chandra of Fatehgarh ( 1873-1931 ) was the founder of " Sahaj Marg ". He brought the highest spiritual approach within the reach of all who wished to receive it. Shri Ram Chandra of Shahjahanpur ( 1899-1983 ), took up the responsibilities and established " Shri Ram Chandra Mission " in the year 1945. Over the years, the Mission has grown enormously, and now has more than 1000 centres in India, and is present in 90 countries spread over all the continents. The Mission now has more than 200,000 abhyasis worldwide practising the Sahaj Marg system of meditation. Currently Shri Parthasarathi Rajagopalachari of Chennai is the president of the Shri Ram Chandra Mission world-wide.
Shri Ram Chandra of Fatehgarh Lalaji ( 1873 – 1931 )
Shri Ram Chandra of Fatehgarh, affectionately known as " Lalaji ", was the adi-guru .. first spiritual master .. of Shri Ram Chandra Mission.
" Lalaji " rediscovered the ancient art of transmission, whereby the master transmits divine energy into the heart of the aspirant in order to expedite his or her spiritual development.
Lalaji was born on 2nd February, 1873. He belonged to a distinguished family of jagirdars, originally from the district of Mainpuri in India.
" Thirst for God "
His father was a tax superintendent and his mother a devout woman who passed away when Lalaji was only seven years old, leaving upon him the imprint of her strong faith. The effect of his mother's spiritual life was such that he developed a thirst for God at an young age.
As a child, he also displayed a deep love and aptitude for music and was known all his life for having a beautiful voice. He was educated by a private tutor and learned Hindi from his mother, receiving his later education at the Mission School at Farrukhabad. After his mother's death, he was brought up by another lady with whom he shared a life-long affection and regard.
Before his father died, the family property was stolen by an unscrupulous king. Lalaji started life afresh in a humble position, but he was soon recognized as a spiritual saint of the highest caliber. Shortly after Lalaji's marriage, his father died. Within a brief span of time he also lost his elder adopted brother and all that remained of his ancestral property. Accepting these misfortunes with grace and courage, he went to work for one of his father's associates in Fatehgarh.
Lalaji credited his wife with inspiring him and keeping him alert on the path of truth. He considered her to be the personification of love and faith.
" Normal family life is most conducive "
It was Lalaji's conviction that a normal family life was most conducive to self development and that any sincere seeker could progress to the highest level of spiritual attainment while fulfilling the duties of a householder.
Not content to pursue such a goal for himself alone, Lalaji offered his spiritual training to others without discrimination, assuring that the highest aspirations, previously reserved for renunciates and ascetics, were brought within the reach of all humanity.
His personality, mode of living and general behaviour earned Lalaji the affection and respect of his neighbours. He was much loved by Hindus and Muslims alike, and though he loved his followers with all their faults, he was at the same time a disciplinarian.
Lalaji was very much against rituals and spending more money on ceremonial occasions than one could afford. He was in favour of the remarriage of widows as well as the education of women, and his servants were like members of his own family.
It was said of Lalaji that he could bring about spiritual awakening in a person with a single movement of his eyelids, but display of any kind was repugnant to him and ego was likewise never allowed to grow. Rather, he advocated that aspirants should stay away from powers until they reached their goal and discipline was perfected.
" Afflictions are divine blessings "
For removing various complexities of the heart, he asked his followers to make friends of their enemies and the persons whom they dreaded. He regarded morality as essential to self-realization and love as the greatest ' tapas '. He taught that afflictions are divine blessings holding many secrets, and that real craving for God will be found in only one person out of thousands.
When he was not at his office, Lalaji imparted training to abhyasis day and night and, after going to bed, transmitted to them until 2 O'clock in the morning.
After his retirement in the year 1929, he began giving all his time to spiritual work, spending two to three hours every day dictating books, articles and letters.
" A great multi-lingual scholar "
Lalaji was a great scholar of Urdu, Persian and Arabic and had a sound knowledge of Hindi and Sanskrit. Controversial phrases and words in scripture were explained by him in such a simple way that real knowledge became common property.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of his writings were lost after his death, when a servant mistook them for waste paper and burned them.
" A simple and pious life "
Lalaji led a simple and pious life. His name spread far and wide, and many people approached him for solace and spiritual guidance.
He was blessed with a melodious voice, and his songs had the power to touch the very soul of his audience.
It is on the strength of the spiritual work done by this great Master that ' Shri Ram Chandra Mission ', the organizational arm of the Sahaj Marg system of spirituality, now stands erect, spreading his message throughout the world.
" The final journey "
During the period of illness leading up to his death on 14th August, 1931, one of his disciples began to weep at seeing his teacher in extreme pain.
Observing this, Lalaji remarked :
" It can be removed within minutes if I exercise myself, but I am not touching it because it is all His will and we must abide by it. "
He immersed himself in thoughts of God and was heard to say :
" As the coveted hour of merger with the beloved gets nearer, so increases the fire of desire of him. "
" The art of transmission " was passed from Lalaji to his most devoted disciple, who coincidentally bore the same name, Shri Ram Chandra of Shahjahanpur .. " Babuji ", as he was known .. further refined his Master's teachings into the current practice of Sahaj Marg.
Shri Ram Chandra of Shahjahanpur Babuji ( 1899 -1983 )
While Lalaji was in a super-conscious state contemplating a successor to take forward his spiritual work, the form of " Ram Chandra " of Shahjahanpur appeared to him. Lalaji started transmitting his own spiritual condition to his presumed successor, thus attracting this special personality towards him.
" Ram Chandra " later became Lalaji's spiritual representative and was affectionately known as " Babuji " to thousands of his devotees.
" Babuji " was born in the North Indian town of Shahjahanpur, in the state of Uttar Pradesh, on 30th April, 1899.
His father was a lawyer and noted scholar who educated Ram Chandra extensively in English, Urdu and Persian, perhaps hoping that his son would follow in his footsteps. But from an early age, Ram Chandra displayed a craving for spiritual realization which overshadowed all other interests.
Ram Chandra became a ' Babu ', which in his native tongue designates a ' clerk ', and it was from this profession that his affectionate nickname, " Babuji ", arose. He held the position of court clerk in the district court of Shahjahanpur for more than thirty years.
" Marriage and Family "
Babuji was married at the age of nineteen and his wife, " Bhagwati ", bore him two daughters and four sons before her death in the year 1949.
Babuji's life was that of an ordinary householder .. never that of a renunciate, or sannyasi. He considered the home and family to be the finest training ground for spirituality, and it was in this light that he approached his familial responsibilities.
" Meeting the Guru "
Babuji began his spiritual education on his own, experimenting with the forms of devotion available in the Hindu religion and with certain yogic practices such as pranayama.
In June 1922, at a comparatively young age of twenty-two, he met his spiritual Master .. a man with the same name as himself .. who lived in the town of Fatehgarh, not far from Shahjahanpur. Ram Chandra of Fatehgarh, was considered a saint of the highest calibre. He recognized " Babuji " as the man who had appeared to him in a dream years before, the one who was destined to succeed him as the leader of the great spiritual renaissance which he, Lalaji, had already initiated.
Though there were very few meetings between teacher and disciple before Lalaji left his physical body in the year 1931, Babuji was in perpetual remembrance of Lalaji and insisted he could not live for a second without his Master's inner guidance.
" Carrying forward the legacy "
Carrying forward Lalaji's spiritual legacy became the singular mission of Babuji's life. His conversation was punctuated by Lalaji's name, and no honour that Babuji could show his Master was enough to express the great love that existed between them.
" I went on with it regardless of all other things till I reached the level expressed by my master in the following words in a dream when he left the mortal frame : I became ' thee ' and thou ' I '. Now none can say that I am other than ' thee ' or that ' thou art ' other than me. "
" Spirituality, birthright of all "
Babuji believed that spirituality is the birthright of all and that it should be offered freely to sincere seekers everywhere. Babuji defined the ultimate goal of human life as a condition of complete oneness with the divine, insisting that this is attainable in a single life-time for any sincere seeker, given an effective practice and the help of a capable living master.
" A true master is the ultimate servant "
Babuji believed that a true master is the ultimate servant, and he lived his life serving all, irrespective of caste, creed, religion, gender or nationality.
Babuji taught that material and spiritual life should go hand in hand, like the two wings of a bird, and that the normal life of a householder is the best environment in which to learn the twin virtues of love and sacrifice. Accordingly, he simplified and perfected the spiritual system of " raja yoga " so that ordinary people could practice it and reach the spiritual goal.
Babuji identified three obstacles in the path to self-realization :
" We try, but there is no sustained attempt We try too many things at the same time We do not have enough confidence in ourselves "
" Do not dwell on the past "
He advised his followers not to be discouraged by their faults and shortcomings, but rather to treat their weaknesses as belonging to the Master and proceed with their practice. This, he said, would contribute to steady spiritual progress. Likewise, he advised ' letting go ' of mistakes, resolving not to repeat them but otherwise forgetting about them :
" When we dwell on past regret, we intensify the impression and give it more influence over our lives. It is in the present that we develop our character and thus create a brighter future. "
" Perpetually striving for balance "
Babuji was by nature, the humblest of people, yet moved by a vast pride in his great Master. The communication established between the two men .. after Lalaji left this world .. continued throughout Babuji's life and filled his diaries with both astonishing visions into the nature of reality and practical instruction on how to lead a spiritual life.
Babuji was perpetually striving for balance, to be neither pleased by good words nor displeased by bad ; to maintain a temperament of humility but to avoid the habit of excessive modesty. It was his conviction that the ego .. being the production of God .. could not be annihilated. Rather, through utter surrender and devotion to his Master, he was able to modify the ego, identifying it not with the body but with the soul.
Of his spiritual condition he wrote :
" There seems to be uniformity in love. Ties of relationship seem to have been severed. I have as much respect for my servant as for my respected father. I have as much love for the sons of other people as I feel for my own son. I have as much regard for a dog as I have for my own person, as if my own existence and that of a dog are identical. I also consider gold and soil of the earth to be the same. I see the pious and the wicked with one eye. "
Shri Ram Chandra of Fatehgarh Lalaji ( 1873 – 1931 )
" Travelling throughout India "
Following Lalaji's departure, Babuji began travelling throughout India using the gift of transmission or " pranahuti ". He would go alone to places where he had no friends or acquaintances, tour the city or town transmitting divine energy, and then leave without a word. The fruits of this labour are now visible in the widespread network of " Sahaj Marg Centres " throughout India.
" World-wide Mission "
In the year 1945, Babuji founded the " Shri Ram Chandra Mission " in honour of his Master. Convinced that God is simple and can be arrived at by simple means, he was confident that seekers of every culture and nationality would embrace the simple and effective spiritual practice that he offered.
In the year 1972, Babuji began taking the method of Sahaj Marg to countries outside India, bringing it to the cultures of Europe and America. He was accompanied on these travels by his attendant and long-time general secretary of the Mission, " Parthasarathi Rajagopalachari " of Madras.
Parthasarathiji, known to his associates as " Chariji ", was later chosen by Babuji to succeed him as his spiritual representative and president of Shri Ram Chandra Mission.
" The end journey "
Although physically weak, Babuji devoted his life to the spiritual upliftment of humanity with unremitting faith and devotion. The thought of his Master remained constant in his mind and heart from their first meeting until Babuji passed away in April 1983, at the age of eighty- three.
He wrote :
" Where religion ends, spirituality begins ; the end of religion is the beginning of spirituality. The end of spirituality is the beginning of reality, and the end of reality is real bliss. When that too is gone, we have reached the destination. "
" Sahaj Marg " is a living practice, and as such it has been adapted by each successive master to suit the times in which we live. At its core, however, it remains unchanged, with an intent that is both pragmatic and divine, described by Babuji in this way :
" We have set up a tiny creation of our own, in the form of our individual material existence, having layers after layers of grossness and opacity. What is now to be done is to shatter off those layers of opacity one by one and assume the absolute state as we had at the time of creation.
" This is all the gist of the philosophy of our system, Sahaj Marg. We are, so to say, to dissolve this tiny creation of our making or to unfold ourselves."
Shri Parthasarathi Rajagopalachari of Chennai – " Chariji "
Shri Parthasarathi Rajagopalachari was born on 24th July 1927, in Vayalur, near Chennai, in the south of India.
His father, Shri C. A. Rajagopalachari, was a railway executive. He lost his mother, Janaki, when he was barely five years old, shortly after the birth of his sister, who also died a few years later.
Parthasarathiji and his two younger brothers were brought up with great care by their father. Nonetheless, the loss of his mother had a profound effect upon the young Parthasarathiji, leaving an emptiness that followed him into adult-hood.
Having studied in the Western system in North India, " Chariji " graduated from Benaras Hindu University with a Bachelor of Science degree. His first job was with Indian Plastics Limited in chemical engineering. He travelled abroad in this capacity and spent two years in Yugoslavia studying plastics manufacturing techniques.
He married Sulochana in the year 1955, and two years later their son, Krishna, was born. It was also in the year 1955, that Chariji joined the " T.T. Krishnamachari Group of Companies ", soon rising to the position of executive director in one of the group companies. His work required him to travel extensively in India and abroad, establishing a pattern of world travel that he would continue throughout his life and contributing to his development on many levels, both practical and spiritual.
" Spiritual awakening "
Chariji's spiritual aspirations were awakened at the age of eighteen when he heard a lecture on the Bhagavad Gita, after which he took up a detailed study of religious and spiritual texts. At the age of thirty, he began Vaishnava traditional instruction in the Hindu religion, with a keen focus on yoga, philosophy, religion and spirituality.
Seven years later, in the year 1964, he met Shri Ram Chandra of Shahjahanpur and began the practice of " Sahaj Marg Meditation ", receiving transmission for the first time.
" Sahaj Marg Literature "
While continuing to fulfill his familial and business responsibilities, Chariji was vigilant in his spiritual practice and dedicated to the work of " Shri Ram Chandra Mission ".
As general secretary of the mission, he contributed greatly to its growth worldwide and to the publication of " Sahaj Marg Literature ". Over the years, he became Babuji's most devoted disciple, ably assisting him in his spiritual work.
A constant companion to Babuji on his spiritual tours, Chariji travelled globally, explaining the " Sahaj Marg System " of spirituality to interested seekers and inspiring many to begin the practice of Sahaj Marg.
Chariji wrote several books revealing his deep love for his master, his mission and the method. His book " My Master ", a personal tribute to Babuji, has been published in nearly twenty languages.
His other books include .. diaries of his overseas travels with Babuji .. an autobiography and numerous volumes of his talks in India and abroad.
Babuji appointed " Chariji " as his spiritual representative and successor to carry on his work as president of the " Shri Ram Chandra Mission", a role Chariji assumed when his Master departed this world in the year 1983.
Chariji's unceasing work and frequent tours abroad have fostered remarkable expansion of the Shri Ram Chandra Mission's activities, which now include the education of youth, scholarship programs, free health care clinics and an association with the Department of Public Information of the United Nations ( UN DPI ).
Chariji's spiritual work embraces all of humanity, addressing present needs as well as those anticipated in the future.

This comment is completely ignorant. Someone from an impoverished area with a lot of gang activity, or as you like to call it the "ghetto" would know better than to think that shading your eyes from the sun is a gang sign. The customer in this FML sounds like the type to label any and everything as gang-related or ghetto......
Are you fucking stupid? That's exactly what happened. They mistook OP shading her eyes as a gang sign. And as you said in your last sentence, the customer in this FML sounds like the type to consider all things gang related, which is what I said in my comment you dumb fuck.

The only stupid person here is you, you idiotic waste of skin.
Haha damn bro I'm a waste of skin because of a comment I made on a website? You take this stuff way too serious lol. And to the other I guy, I get what you were saying,". You we're saying that anyone from the ghetto would know if it was a gang sign or not right?

A Market Rasen woman has been fundraising for the Breast Cancer Care charity in support of one of her closest friends.
Julie Elton hosted an afternoon tea event after hearing first hand the support her friend, Nikki Lancaster-Crane, had been given following her diagnosis and treatment.
"When I found out one of my closest friends had been diagnosed with breast cancer, I was gutted for her," said Julie.
"Only a few weeks before, I'd had a scare myself, but fortunately I was ok.
"Nikki was one of the few people I confided in and she was there for me."
Now, seeing Nikki go through her treatment and also hearing about the support she is receiving, Julie decided to raise some money for Breast Cancer Care and was delighted with the result.
She said: "I had a lot of support from family and friends and there was a fantastic turnout on the day.
"Nikki even managed a visit and was overwhelmed with the whole event.
"It was such a joy to see her relaxed and with a big smile on her face."
The main event was a raffle, which had been supported by a number of local businesses.
"Thanks go to everyone who supported us and helped raise £210 for the charity," added Julie.
"Nikki's mum, Ann, has been an amazing and constant support for Nikki, along with her son Daniel, and I would like to say thank you to her."
After the event, Ann officially accepted the cheque on behalf of Nikki for the charity.

Ethnic market MVNO Lebara Mobile has bought the brand and customer base of Dutch MVNO Chippie.
Lebara will retain the Chippie name in the Netherlands to specifically address migrant communities with friends and family in North and South America, the Caribbean, the Middle East and Asia. Both Lebara and Chippie operate on the KPN network.
Lebara chief executive Yoganathan Ratheesan (pictured) said: "Its been a very exciting year so far for Lebara and this acquisition further establishes us as the market leader in our segment.
"Lebara Mobile has been a strong performer in the Netherlands since its launch and given that over 20 per cent of the Dutch population has international roots, we believe that there is a huge opportunity for us to continue to grow. We look forward to welcoming Chippie's customers to our high quality service."
Lebara has also announced it is the new official mobile partner to the nine cricket test match grounds in England and Wales: Lord's, The Brit Oval, Old Trafford, Trent Bridge, Headingley Carnegie, Edgbaston, The Riverside, Swalec Cardiff and The Rose Bowl. The sponsorship deal covers perimeter boards, tri-vision sight screens, tickets and experiential sampling at each ground.
England are scheduled to play test matches against Bangladesh, Australia, Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka in 2010 and 2011.
It is Lebara's third sports-related deal this year, following its role as broadcast partner for Eurosport's coverage of the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations football tournament and sponsorship of YouTube's live coverage of the Indian Premier League cricket.
Ratheesan said: "We are very excited to be the mobile partner to the test match grounds. The strong global interest in international cricket as well as the huge international cricket fan base living here in the UK represent a fantastic brand awareness opportunity for us.
"Lebara Mobile's customer base is an excellent fit with the international teams that are touring over the next two years and we look forward to being part of their cricket experience."

Heterotopia of a nerd nouveau
UPDATE: If you downloaded yesterday or today, please re-download. There was a little bug in it that might delete files in the directory you are exporting to. Sorry for that.
I'm an avid user of FlyingMeat's excellent VoodooPad note-keeping/wiki/whatever application and use it for a variety of purposes, such as organizing code snippets, lecture notes, sketching out ideas, keeping track of stuff, etc...
While VoodooPad has some nice web exporters built in, I wanted to somehow read VoodooPad documents on the iPhone without having to put them onto a web server (and thusly fussing around with authentication etc...).
So what I did was create a little web export plugin that will export a VoodooPad document as a data URL bookmarklet that can then be sync'ed to the iPhone (via iTunes) to be read offline on the iPhone.
It's basically a very simple thing, but could be incredibly useful to some people.
However, be aware that the iPhone has limited memory, so large documents with images or other embedded files might crash the iPhone's browser. I've tested it up to bookmarklet sizes of 350K, though (the exporter will tell you the size of the generated bookmarklet), but a 1.5M bookmarklet consistently crashes the browser.
You can download the export plugin here: VoodooPhone.

Asbestos Refurbishment Survey
Asbestos Demolition Surveys
An Asbestos Refurbishment Survey or Asbestos Demolition Survey is required to find the presence of any Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM's) before any works can take place.
Asbestos Survey
The Asbestos Refurbishment Survey or Asbestos Demolition Survey is used to locate asbestos as far as reasonably practical; all ACMs in the area to be refurbished, or if the building is to be demolished then all areas will be surveyed.
During the Asbestos Refurbishment Survey or Asbestos Demolition Survey all areas including hard to reach areas will be accessed by using fully intrusive and destructive techniques.

Asbestos R&D Survey
During the Asbestos Refurbishment Survey or Asbestos Demolition Survey all areas including hard to reach areas will be accessed by using fully intrusive and destructive techniques.
The Asbestos Refurbishment Survey and Asbestos Demolition Survey are sometimes know as an Asbestos R&D Survey.
There is a specific requirement in CAR 2012 (Regulation 7) for all ACMs to be removed as far as reasonably practicable before major refurbishment or final demolition. Removing ACMs is also appropriate in other smaller refurbishment situations which involve structural or layout changes to buildings (e.g. removal of partitions, walls, units etc.).
Asbestos Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys
Asbestos Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys are intended to locate all of the asbestos within the building (or the relevant part), as far as reasonably practicable. It is a disruptive and fully intrusive survey which may need to penetrate all parts of the building structure. Aggressive inspection techniques will be needed to lift carpets and tiles, break through walls, ceilings, cladding and partitions, and open up floors. In these situations, controls should be put in place to prevent the spread of debris, which may include asbestos.
Asbestos Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys should only be conducted in unoccupied areas to minimise risks to the public or employees on the premises.
Ideally, the building should not be in service and all furnishings removed. For minor refurbishment, this would only apply to the room involved or even part of the room where the work is small and the room large. In these situations, there should be effective isolation of the survey area (e.g. full floor to ceiling partition), and furnishings should be removed as far as possible or protected using sheeting. The 'surveyed' area must be shown to be fit for reoccupation before people move back in.
This will require a thorough visual inspection and, if appropriate (e.g. where there has been significant destruction), reassurance air sampling with disturbance. Under no circumstances should staff remain in rooms or areas of buildings when intrusive sampling is performed.
We are able to carry out an Asbestos Refurbishment Survey on all building types from homes to power stations.

Your choices at 16
Sign in or register to add to Bookmarks in My Career Tools
The different pathways you can choose at 16.
At 16, you have many more choices open to you than you had at 14, including which type of qualification pathway might suit you best. Bear in mind that you can move between pathways later and that progression to higher education is possible from all pathways.
Choosing the right pathway for you!
Many people do choose to stay on at school but there are other choices too, like studying at a college or a training provider or getting a job with training. What is important is to get the course or training to suit your skills and aspirations.
After GCSEs there are three main pathways to choose from and making the decision between the different pathways needs careful thought.
General academic e.g. A Levels (offered at schools and colleges)
Work-based: e.g. Apprenticeships (learning on the job but also with a learning provider)
Vocationally-related: this could be through a 'vocational subject' related to a broad employment area such as business, engineering, IT, health and social care, etc. or through a 'vocational course' that leads to specific jobs such as hairdressing, accounting, professional cookery or plumbing
There are also opportunities for young people to work or volunteer for 20 hours a week as long as they are also working towards a qualification - check this out with your school or college.
The pathway you choose will be based on the following:
- What grades of GCSE you have achieved
- How you like to learn
- Where and what you would like to study later
- What you want to do in the future
What you can do to make the right choice
- Find out about different careers that interest you.
- Get advice from the people who know you like your parents and teachers and from those with expertise in this area, like careers advisers.
- Look at the qualifications on offer to you in your school and in local colleges and also consider whether an Apprenticeship might be a good route for you.
- If you are interested in a higher education course at 18/19 or in the future then check out the entry requirements.
- Find out what other people with the qualifications you are interested in have gone on to do. Also, find out whether employers are asking for these qualifications.
- Watch this video from leading universities urging students to think about how their A-Level or equivalent subject choices can widen or limit the degree courses and careers that are open to them.
- Look in the 'Help with choosing' section of Careerpilot to find links to other sites that can help you make the right choice for you.
Although the UK is currently struggling to get out of recession take a long-term view as in a few years time things might well have improved.
What is known is:
- You are likely to change jobs many times in your working life as there are few 'jobs for life'
- New jobs are emerging all the time as technology advances
- As people retire there will be job opportunities for younger people
- The number of jobs requiring higher skills is likely to increase.
With these things in mind, having skills like flexibility, good communication skills and being prepared to learn new things is likely to be as important as having a specific job in mind.

Country music star Stella Parton hits the high notes at Heathrow to celebrate British Airways' new direct service
LONDON, 2018-May-03 — /Travel PR News/ — The only direct route between Europe and Nashville launches this week (May 4) when British Airways starts flying between Heathrow and Music City.
To celebrate the new five-a-week service the airline welcomed country music star, Stella Parton, to Heathrow with the Nashville native strutting her stuff and sharing her top tips.
Stella, who has lived in Nashville for 50 years and whose birthday is on May 4, was photographed on board a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner as the airline's newest fleet will serve the capital of Tennessee.
Stella Parton, who hails from one of America's most legendary music families, said: "On behalf of all of the Nashville natives we are so excited to welcome a British invasion! Nashville is so much more than just a music town, it's growing, it's happening and we want people to come and see what fantastic things we have going on. I've been lucky enough to tour the UK many times so I can't wait to be able to fly direct to London with no stop-over!"
Tickets are available to buy on ba.com and start from £571 in World Traveller(economy cabin), £930 in World Traveller Plus (premium economy) and £1411 in Club World (business class). Customers can also choose to cut the cost of flights by using Avios in part payment and can pick from a range of savings.
For a taste of the deep south the airline will be serving traditional hot chicken on flights from Nashville to Heathrow Terminal 5 in all cabins until June 4. Watch British Airways' head chef, Mark Tazzioli, show foodies on Facebook how to make Tennessee's signature dish here: https://www.facebook.com/britishairways/videos/10157310534675830/
The dish marinates chicken in buttermilk, then blends cayenne pepper with other seasonings and spices to create a flavoursome fried chicken that will be served with macaroni cheese and braised kale.
Award-winning musician Stella, who is an avid cook and has published numerous books on southern home cooking, added: "For the hottest chicks in any city you gotta visit Nashville, Tennessee and for the hottest chicken in Nashville it has to be Bolten's and Hattie B's. That's where I get my hot chicken and hear all the hottest news."
The new route follows the launch of New Orleans in March 2017 and Nashville will become the 26th US city the airline flies to. From this summer British Airways and American Airlines will operate up to 67 daily flights, as part of their transatlantic joint business.
British Airways is investing £4.5 billion for customers over the next five years, including the installation of the best quality WiFi and power in every seat, fitting 128 long-haul aircraft with new interiors and taking delivery of 72 new aircraft. The airline is also investing £600m specifically in Club World, including outstanding catering and luxurious White Company bedding – plus, from 2019, a new seat with direct aisle access.

Levsha: Using Memsource for Game Localization
Levsha Localization Studio is a leading provider of game localization with a special focus on video games.
We have localized more than 200 projects over the past three years. The largest game publishers and developers in the world trust us with their best games. And we meet their expectations!
As a game localization company we often have to deal with special file formats and workflows. In 2012 we had been actively looking for a translation environment that would have all the required functionality and we can say we have found it: Memsource. It has been two years now that we have been using Memsource.
Translators working with videogames usually don't like CAT tools and prefer Excel, however Memsource Editor has everything that translators love in Excel (filters, quick search and replace etc.) plus many more features (the TM engine, QA checks, glossary support, quick search in all related TMs and glossaries and much more) which makes translating easier and helps improve quality. What is also very important about Memsource is its friendly user interface. Memsource is really easy to learn and so we had no difficulties introducing Memsource to our translators. Memsource adoption by our translators was so smooth also thanks to the fact that Memsource Editor is free for translators.
Memsource has become a great asset for our project managers. The web-based project dashboard, accessible even from a smartphone and automatic workflow notifications make our project managers' lives much easier. Simply, the ROI for Memsource has been great for us.
And finally, it is really encouraging to see Memsource developers listen to our comments and feedback. We have seen a lot of the functionality that we had requested appear in new Memsource releases.

Life span
Perennial, potentially very long-lived.
Growth form
Mat-forming graminoid herb with very extensive, densely branched rhizome. Rhizome branches thin with brown scaly leaves (prophylls), typically with short distances (0.5–2 cm) between aerial shoots. Hence, the aerial shoots often form a dense, sometimes tussocky sward. Aerial shoots with 1–3 prophylls (basal leaves without or with very reduced blades). Culms (4)5–15(20) cm long, slender (0.5–1 mm), ascending, straight or usually curved at the base, with 2–4 ordinary leaves in their basal parts, obscurely trigonous with distinct ribs, smooth, without papillae, dark green.
Leaves filiform (involute), 4–7(10) cm long, as long as or shorter than culms, slender (0.4–0.7 mm), mid vein slightly raised on lower surface, margins minutely serrate along much of their length, very slightly papillose, green or bluish green.
Inflorescence and Flower
The flower in Carex is unisexual (either male or female), without perianth, and supported by a scale (the bract of the single flower). The male flower consists of 3 stamens. The female flower consists of a gynoecium of 2 or 3 fused carpels, with a single style and 2 or 3 stigmas, and with a single seed. The gynoecium is surrounded by a perigynium, a container with a narrow apical opening through which the style and stigmas emerge. The perigynia (and nuts) are either lenticular (when two carpels/stigmas) or trigonous (when three). The inflorescences are spikes, one or more per culm. If two or more spikes, all except for the uppermost are supported by more or less leaf-like bracts. Spikes may be unisexual or bisexual, and bisexual spikes may have the female flowers at base (basigynous) or at top (acrogynous). Flowers are wind pollinated and usually cross pollinated because the male flowers reach anthesis before the female flowers (protandry). Cross pollination predominates among sedges investigated in alpine Norway (Berggren & Haugset unpubl.), either due to the protandry or to genetic incompatibility. Seeds are spread inside their perigynia.
Dioecious (with separate male and female plants). Inflorescence a single spike, very narrowly oblong or linear, without bract. Male spike 7–10 × 0.9–1.4 mm, with 7–12 flowers. Stamens 3. Female spike 8–12 × 1.1–1.6 mm but becoming much broader when in fruit, with 8–14 flowers. Scales similar in female and male flowers, 3–4 × 1.1–1.5 mm, triangular or ovate, obtuse to subacute, dark reddish brown with a distinct, pale brown mid vein and a broad, golden yellow margin. Perigynia 2.5–3.5 × 0.6–1.0 mm, lens-shaped (lenticular with one nearly flat and one more convex side), narrowly elliptic, dark brown and glossy, with a very small foot, at top tapering gradually into a smooth beak 0.5–0.9 mm, aperture obliquely truncate (the stigmas appearing at the side of the apex). Stigmas 2.
Lenticular nut enclosed in the perigynium.
Sexual reproduction by seeds; efficient local vegetative reproduction by rhizome. The extensive mats are probably easily broken up by soil movements, resulting in some fragmentation. The plant is an obligate outbreeder as it is dioecious with separate male and female individuals. Fruit set is rather regular in Svalbard.
Dispersal of fruits (inside perigynia) is probably mainly by water (locally in mires and downstream in seepage areas) and especially by birds.
The only possibility of misidentification (and a fairly common one) is with Carex rupestris. Both species have only one, narrow spike but are readily distinguished by the following characters: In C. parallela the spike is unisexual and the leaves are straight and filiform; in C. rupestris the spikes are bisexual with female flowers at base (basigynous) and the leaves are stouter and usually curved.
Superficially similar is also C. lidii, an assumed hybrid or hybrid species where C. parallela is one of the assumed parents. However, C. lidii always has more than one spike and always a paler, whitish margin on the scales in the spike.For comparison with the mainland C. dioica, see Comments.
Carex parallela occurs in shallow, flat or gently sloping mires with percolating water from the melting permafrost, and in moist heaths or on moist frost patterned ground. The species is largely confined to substrates with basic soil reaction (pH).
Probably weakly thermophilous. In the middle and northern arctic tundra zones and the clearly continental to transitional sections. In Svalbard only present in Spitsbergen and Nordaustlandet. There are three confirmed occurrences in the Bellsund and Van Mijenfjorden area (Nathorst Land, Nordenskiöld Land). Otherwise the distribution is restricted to N Spitsbergen with significant concentrations in the Isfjorden, Kongsfjorden and Wijdefjorden areas and some localities in the Liefdefjorden and Woodfjorden area. On Nordaustlandet, very few occurrences are known in two of the most favourable sites on that island: Kløverbladbukta in the Wahlenbergfjorden area (Gustav Adolf Land), and Louise Richardfjellet in the Duvefjorden area (Prins Oscars Land).
Carex parallela is arctic–alpine, amphi-Atlantic and Eurasian with two quite well defined races: ssp. parallela in E Greenland, Svalbard, Fennoscandia (N and S), and arctic European Russia; ssp. redowskiana (C.A.Mey.) T.V.Egorova (C. redowskiana C.A.Mey.) in NE European Russia, Siberia, and the Russian Far East. Egorova (1999) reports transitions between the subspecies in the meeting zone in the surroundings of Polar Ural.
The small group of Carex sect. Dioicae includes three northern species: the mainly boreal C. dioica L., the arctic-alpine C. parallela (with the two subspecies mentioned above, see Distribution), and the western arctic C. gynocrates Wormsk. Carex gynocrates has bisexual (basigynous) spikes, the two others unisexual spikes and plants. This sex distribution should theoretically make for some differences in how easily the plants are established after dispersal. A single, efficient dispersal of a fruit of C. parallela (and C. dioica) will normally produce only a female or male clone in the new site, not a good prospect for farther expansion. However, the spikes may, very rarely, be bisexual (variation found within and between populations). This may be counteracting the restrictions placed by the unisexuality. We should also remember that these plants are potentially very long-lived, with clones persisting for centuries or perhaps millennia, and not many efficient reproduction events are needed per century to uphold populations. Carex gynocrates and C. parallela do not differ in the expected way in how successful they have been in crossing distribution barriers, e.g., oceans; the unisexual C. parallela has crossed many more barriers to attain its present range than has the bisexual C. gynocrates.
Carex parallela and C. dioica are rather similar and many authors have considered them subspecies of one species (then C. dioica). Both are known to hybridize with several other species but intermediates or hybrids between the two have never been documented. They seem to be very well supported as two species, even if they sometimes may be difficult to keep apart. The best diagnostic character is in the beak of the perigynia, smooth in C. parallela and scabrous in C. dioica. Carex dioica also has a much looser mat structure (due to much longer rhizome branches) and more spreading perigynia in the fruit stage.
At a higher taxonomic level, the species of sect. Dioicae are enigmatic. The section has traditionally been assigned to subgenus Psyllophora, smallest of the three subgenera accepted by Egorova (1999). However, there are very few or perhaps no hybrids reported between species of sect. Dioicae and species of other parts of subgenus Psyllophora. The species of sect. Dioicae rather hybridize with species in another subgenus, Vignea, and especially with species of sect. Glareosae and sect. Foetidae. Carex lidii (see that species) and C. langeana Fernald (occurring in Greenland and Canada) are probably two hybrids between sect. Dioicae and sect. Foetidae (and possibly fertile), and the hybrid C. lachenalii x parallela (between sect. Glareosae and sect. Dioicae) is rather frequent in Greenland and suggested from Svalbard, too. The main reason for assigning sect. Dioicae to subgenus Psyllophora is, of course, its single and often unisexual spikes. However, evolutionary it rather belongs in subgenus Vignea, and this has now been shown by molecular means (e.g., Yen & Olmstead 2000).

Judith's cookbook, All-Time Favorites, began as a way to preserve for her children a small collection of recipes from her grandmothers. Thanks to the generosity of many friends and members of her family who contributed recipes, photographs and personal stories, the collection took on a life of its own, evolving into this treasury—culled from Judith's favorites as well as those of her children.
Open Face Peach Pie
3/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. flour
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
sour cream
6-8 large fresh peach halves (preferably peaches with pink centers)
1 unbaked piecrust
Mix sugar, flour, and cinnamon and add just enough sour cream to make a thin paste. Place peach halves cut side up in unbaked pie shell. Fill in the cracks with small peach pieces. Cover with sour cream mixture. Bake 450° for 10 minutes; then 350° about 30 minutes or until cream mixture becomes slightly brown.
*This recipe dates back to my husband's grandmother.
Summer Blueberry Cake
1/2 cup butter
1 cup plus 1 Tbsp. flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cups fresh blueberries
2 eggs, separated
Cream butter and 3/4 cup sugar. Add salt and vanilla. Add egg yolks, beat until creamy. Sift 1 cup flour and baking powder; add alternately with milk to egg yolk mixture. Beat egg whites until stiff, adding remaining 1/4 cup sugar.
Coat berries with 1 Tbsp. flour, add to batter. Fold in egg whites. Pour into a greased 8″ square pan. Sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake at 350° for 50 minutes.
Judy's Easy Gazpacho
1 English cucumber
1/2 mild red onion
1 avocado
1 tsp. dried oregano
3 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. wine vinegar
4 cups tomato juice
Tabasco sauce to taste
fresh oregano or cilantro
Dice cucumber and onion. Put in large bowl with everything else except avocado. Stir, add Tabasco sauce to your liking (approx. 10 drops). Chill.
When ready to serve, top with diced avocado and garnish with fresh oregano or cilantro.
Raves for All Time Favorites
"A German tour book states: The proverbial German gemütlichkeit is difficult to explain. But you won't go far wrong if you think of good food, good company, a drink or two and plenty of time to enjoy it all!
Judith Whitmore's cookbook is the epitome of gemütlichkeit. a warmhearted fusion of recipes, family photos, and tradition. The recipes are simple and clearly written, the variety is amazing, and there seems to be love in every dish, as if prepared by a grandma. It even has a recipe for Orange Julius, a juice drink I guzzled all through my youth on the West Side of Manhattan. I thought Orange Julius had disappeared into history, like the Pennsylvania Station, but it has returned in this wonderful book. To put it simply, this book is really cookin'!"
Walter Marks
"Great cookbook! I bought it because my friend recommended it. I love that so many of the recipes don't require a lot of prep time. I'm sending one to my daughter who is always on the go. Not only is it a cookbook, it's a family album too!"
Mrs. G
"This cookbook has lots of great (and easy) old fashioned recipes. I loved the photos and the little stories about the contributors. And the fact that all the proceeds from this book go to a children's charity make it a real winner!"

Rockers Sending Prayers Via Twitter for Victims of Indiana State Fair Stage Collapse
I ran across an interesting story this morning on Loudwire.com, and wanted to share. Rockers like Nickelback, Hinder, Saving Abel, and 3 Doors Down are sending out prayers and condolences to the family's of the victims of Saturday's horrific stage collapse. More after the jump.
We reported the news of the stage collapse on Saturday.
The incident occurred at about 9 p.m., just before country band Sugarland was scheduled to perform. The crowd was already being directed to a nearby building because of the impending storm when the rigging toppled over.YouTube users uploaded several videos of the stage collapse, including a horrifying video showing the stage wobbling and finally falling under the pressure of the wind as audience members screamed.
Here's one of the tweets from Saving Abel as reported by Loudwire.com:

Thoughts About My Dad on Father's Day
A few memories
just visited me
on this Father's Day,
to remind me
of my dear old dad,
and the things he used to say.
His wisdom of practical design,
inspired us to think all the time.
"Try to stay as healthy as you can because being alive can be dangerous."
"Live life knowing it is the only one you have; no one has come back to tell us otherwise."
"Give your all and don't think twice about helping out a stranger; for all of us are one."
I hear his hearty laughter
as contagious like a cold.
I see his big bright smile
spreading happiness to all.
I see him working hard
day in and day out
singing all the while
his favorite arias
and whistling Broadway tunes
almost like Frank Sinatra
I remember how he hugged me
like he was hugging the whole world
all at once for the last time.
A memory I hope that stays
with me
until the day I die.
I am sure he'll wait for me
at the pearly gate,
along Saint Peter,
(of whom he will be sure to say is his best friend),
And just like he did when on earth
he'll whisk me away
in his Cadillac.
trying to beat
the parking maid
before she reads the meter.
Happy Father's Day Dad!
Love you always.
Day Three – Three quotes Challenge
Above is a drew on my iPad when I was looking ofr some kind of inspiration. I found the Chines proverb and drew the tree which I call:Tree of Inspiration.
Here are the quotes to fulfill the three quote challenge.
"Joy is an internal process grounded in knowledge of spiritual truth, the ability to trust
the wisdom of the Divine, and faith in the perfect and perfecting process of life."
– Lyanla Vanzant
"It is better in prayer to have a heart without words and words without a heart."
-Mahatma Ghandi
"Allow your heart to sing and dance and kick off its shoes when you are lonely or fearful. A Divine feeling of freedom will keep you company instead."
– Melba Christie
Tragedy Strikes Again
I would be remiss if I did not offer my condolences to the families of the victims gunned down Wednesday while at a bible study meeting at their church in Charleston, South Carolina. It saddens me deeply that violence strikes again. I dread the questions my oldest grandson will have about this. What do you say to an eight year old who believes that church is a safe haven. For that matter that school is a safe place to be as well.
There are many issues at play with this particular incident. Or are they the same issues that come back to haunt us again and again. When will it stop? I believe that love will prevail. I believe that goodness strikes out evil. We need to take whatever time is necessary and talk to our children about what it is that makes us human. We must help them understand our biology. We all bleed the same. Our hearts (even when not very healthy) will beat to keep us alive. We all need to breathe, eat and sleep. We all want to be loved. We all need to love somebody. And when someone dies, it does not matter what language we speak; or what color our skin is, or what religion or faith we observe, we grieve with a hole left in our hearts and tears filling up our eyes. The love we feel is immense and never leaves us.
It is very simple actually this humanity of ours. We are built in a way that is so complex, interrelated, and interdependent that no one has been able to replicate what we know to be a human being.
The great phenomena is that it is indeed a very simple construct. We all need each other. Our diversity and our sameness is equally phenomenal. Senseless murder and violence hurts us all. One family member said, "Every fiber of my body hurts." She lost a son who was her hero. Children are not suppose to die before their parents. It is not suppose to be the rule.
Our humanity must take charge and stand up tall and spread the word. We are one. A part of a whole. I am a part of you, of this planet, and you are a part of me. It is as simple as that. Call me a dreamer (I think someone said this once before.) but it is time that we take action. I know that I am not the only one. Love must win! Our humanity must be victorious.
"Peace is not a season; it must be a way of life."

My Personal Blue Angel
This line is very insightful "we remind ourselves
of our oneness" Reminders of our oneness are evident in many things.
Blue Angel from the Heavens above
Fill the earth with lots of love
I pray that
everytime we look up at the stars
we remind ourselves
of our oneness.
In the light
so bright, and warm
like in a mother's womb
we are one.

Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels."

The Sunday Memories of A Baby Boomer
Sunday Morning
A day of rituals
started with church
at St. Luke's
where forgiven sins
remained for the rest of the week.
Then a big breakfast:
pancakes, scrambled eggs,
sizzling bacon and home fries
we ate until we almost died.
Then off to some adventure
dad would plan it out as a surprise
no matter how he tried to disguised it
It was usually a day at the theater
or at Palisades Amusement Park
in the summer a trip on the D train to Coney Island Beach
But first we'd all sit and read
the New York Journal American
Ivan grabbed the funnies or comic strips
he loved Buz Sawyer and Flash Gordon
I had dibs on the magazine that featured
a celebrity on its cover
and every week I underlined
the million dollar movie titles I wanted to watch
mom would do the weekly puzzle
cut out a recipe or two
and peeped at the fashion sections
for tips and how to's
Dad loved the broadway quips
boxing, sports and politics
Sunday night we could not miss
the Ed Sullivan Show.
I loved Topo Gigio,
and the first time he presented the Beatles.
The show introduced us to Carmen Miranda, Jerry Lewis
and almost Bob Dylan,
who walked off the set on day in 63′.
Reality was the best it could be
all of us together building memories.

- Challenge/Workload: Blogging is a lot of fun. We write our articles in the early morning hours, as we start in the office around 07:00 and finish close to midnight. (The support from our families during the Presidency, should be the subject of another post – which will be difficult because they wish to remain anonymous.) We have no time to write during the day, still the blogging has helped us develop a kind of "situational awareness" not to let pass by the events of a day/week but consciously make a story out of them. This helps us to see the Hungarian Presidency from a reporter's point of view, which helps us to keep journalists better informed. We wonder how do "professional" bloggers pick their subjects and how do they work?
- Feedback / added-value: we receive a lot of feedback mostly from journalists and diplomats in Brussels that they read us on a regular basis. What is interesting is that these positive feedbacks we receive informally usually concern our least popular articles, while the most popular articles are rarely mentioned in personal discussions. A few examples: the Sunday Music post on 'Dalida and Egypt', the 'Book that everyone should read before the European Council' and the 'Visual messages at summit meetings' have been commended repeatedly at meetings/receptions, while their readership has been relatively low. At the same time, the Brussels Pidgin English series (especially the opening post and the last one, on a 'Lingua franca for Europe') has received some of the most hits.
- Two posts appear as exceptions, where both the pageviews and the personal feedback are very positive: obviously our April foolery, the 'Hungarian Presidency extended' and the 'Tweet that moved the Euro'. These give us hope that we can find the right EU subjects and the right angle that are both popular and interesting from a professional point of view. The ultimate aim, as many have stated before, is to help connecting the Brussels blogging bubble with the national blogospheres and thus bring the EU closer to the Member States.
- Presenting everyday life in the Presidency: We are convinced that the rotating presidency is the last link that connects the Brussels Ivory Tower to the reality in the Member States. In this regard the Lisbon Treaty has made communication with the citizens more difficult by creating even more institutional players, who are all based in Brussels (while admitting all the diplomatic and practical arguments for creating the new bodies). We are doing our best to strengthen the cooperation between the rotating presidencies by meeting regularly the Polish and Danish colleagues to have joint projects and to share with them the our experiences and ideas.
- Copyright: What we knew "in theory" became painfully evident - copyright sucks (in its current form). It is a pain to try to locate media that's completely safe to use. Even though we are not making any money on this, and you could argue we are bringing a tiny amount of extra public interest to the works we use, we must be careful with copyright. Sad. Any suggestions?
- Traffic 1: We have recieved traffic from very suprising locations (if google stats are anything to go by): we advertised it to our circle of friends around the world, but didnt expect to have thousands of visitors for example from the US. We are wondering who our readers are. Anyone willing to share how you ended up reading us?*
- Traffic 2: a lot of traffic seems to come from directly forwarded links, at least we dont see a match between all traffic and referral sites. In general, it would be nice to know more in depth our traffic stats than what google provides. Can anyone suggest something?
- Comments: we havent been able to get you to comment. We expected that part of our "payout" would be to engage with people in discussions. Maybe we are not provocative enough? But even our "stellar posts" (Pidgin English series and April's foolery) didn't attract much comment. We would have loved to read arguments for or against French, or people saying that it is a Hungarian trait not to be able to let go of a presidency, but it didnt happen. (It did happen in email to a limited extent, but that keeps them hidden from the wider public.) What's the secret to get you to comment?

Bravo! I do think the statistics are impressive. Mine are nowhere near! Then again, I am not attempting to preside over the EU : )ReplyDelete
Hope this blog will see a continuation, in one form or another, even after the Presidency officially expires. Unless, of course, it is "extended" : ) Great job!
I for one - as you well know - hope very much that July wil not see the end of the rotating Presidency's contribution to "help connecting the Brussels blogging bubble with the national blogospheres and thus bring the EU closer to the Member States".ReplyDelete
Anyone interested in this should make bloggingportal.eu their home page - it's the only place bringing together and categorising blog posts on EU affairs from across Europe, and not just the #bxlsbbl.
As for getting comments, it can be widely variable - in fact, your country's media law gave me my best figures in that respect, so thanks very much! ;-)
One reason you may get fewer is that Brussels is a political and economic environment, and people around here are still nervous about expressing views publicly in writing. Sometimes rightly.
I suspect that a lot of people are like me, and self-censor. If I said what I think all the time, as opposed to just occasionally, I'd probably be out of work pretty fast ...
PS A postscript to bring the comment count to 3.ReplyDelete
A quick tip I also shared with waltzing mathilda some time back: Ensure site visitors can see where the conversation is on your site from every page.
Seeing that someone else has commented generally prompts people to add their two cents.
In practical terms, this generally means adding a 'Recent comments' and (optionally, for the braver blogger) a 'Most Commented' widget to the sidebar.
I'm a wordpress guy myself, so if anyone more familiar with blogspot reading this could provide more pointers? Then they'll have a fourth comment! ;-)
PPS Thanks for the citation in your post about multilingualism. I've actually posted on this 6 times - click my name for the menu.
N° 1 (Finding topics): Finding topics is usually not the problem, it's more finding time to write about them properly. Most private posts I write I triggered by information I read on the web or as an academic. Some are strategic to keep certain topics on the agenda - in these cases I try to find recent developments or report about recent events.ReplyDelete
N° 2 (Feedback vs. hits): Don't look for answers here. Never understood the logic. Often however some of the posts that didn't attract big readership at the beginning keep on being well-read in the future.
N° 3 (Next presidencies): Good to keep this alive in the future. One thing each Presidency could do is to "network" with national bloggers in their own countries ahead of the presidency so that they are ready to monitor, criticise or spread the word during the six month. Like this, one might be able to get national blogospheres closer to Brussels politics presidency by presidency, country by country.
N° 4 (Copyright): Copyright is a problem. But as a rule I use, for pictures, the advanced Flickr search and choose the option "Find content to modify, adapt, or build upon" at the bottom. For videos using the Vimeo/Youtube etc. "embed" function usually solves such problems. And for anything else it's the easiest to create one's own pictures/videos etc.
N° 5: US traffic seems to be a general rule on English-language blogs, at least this is my experience. There are probably several reasons for this (larger social media use, bots and US-based monitoring tools etc.)
N° 6: All the different tools seem to follow traffic have different ups and downs. Not sure whether the perfect tool exists. Some may even say such tools (at least some of them) are invading the privacy of users.
N° 7: If you want to have a lot of comments (or at least more) you need to be overly provocative or controversial. Anything that is rather balanced only occasionally attracts comments, similar to N°2 - it's hard to predict.
Matthew, thanks, as you can see we already followed the advice in your last comment. For the rest, we hope to make the presidency blogging exercise a tradition. cc @Dana_CouncilReplyDelete

Henry dismisses Domenech threat reports
SAINT-PIERRE, Reunion - Thierry Henry has dismissed media reports that France coach Raymond Domenech threatened to leave him out of the World Cup if he refused to be a substitute.
The Barcelona player, his country's former captain and most prolific scorer, started the first two warm-up games on the bench and is expected to do the same at the June 11-July 11 finals.
Local media reported the controversial Domenech had met Henry before naming his squad and told him he would not go to South Africa if he did not accept being on the bench.
"I've been reading things that are totally unacceptable," the striker told reporters at his team's training camp on the French Indian Ocean island of Reunion.
"I don't know where all this comes from. The coach did come to see me in Barcelona but only told me I would not start the matches and I accepted that."
The 32-year-old, who is no longer a Barcelona regular, said he had no problem about losing his starting place to Chelsea's Nicolas Anelka.
"There's a logic in football," Henry said. "Over the past four months I have not played that much. There's a player in front of me and that's Nico. I accept that."
The only player in this squad who was part of France's 1998 World Cup-winning team, although he did not play in the final, Henry said he accepted his new role as a substitute for the team he has graced for more than a decade.
"If you're a competitor and you love football you always want to play," said the man who has scored a record 51 goals from 120 appearances.
"Football is my passion but I respect the coach's decision and I'll do my very best to help the team."
Henry, who has often lifted France out of tight spots, also suffered from the controversy sparked by his handball in the playoff win over Ireland in November.
"We're not here to have a debate on whether Henry should play or not," he said. "That's up to the coach. He did not ask me anything. If I come on I'll give it my very best, full stop."
France have done little to suggest they might make an impact at the World Cup, making an early exit from Euro 2008 and frustrating their fans with mediocre performances since.
Henry, however, warned not to write them off.
"We were favourites in 2002 and went home without scoring a goal," he said. "In 2006 we were not favourites, started with two draws but went to the final.
"It's up to us to write our own history."

Commercial Property Advisors QRE have sold Castletroy Shopping Centre in Limerick on behalf of Nama for €3.425m, over 50% above the quoted guide price of €2.2m.
The sale included 45,000 sq. ft. of retail space over 2 floors together with 720 ancillary surface car parking spaces, a drive thru McDonalds Restaurant and a development site of approximately 1 acre.
The entire shopping centre, extends to 91,547 Sq. ft. and also includes supermarket chain Supervalu and Odeon Cinema's, who both own their accommodation and did not form part of the sale.
The shopping mall provides for 24 units. According to local agents, the shopping centre had not been marketed in recent years and this led to an increased vacancy rate of 60% within the shopping centre. Current occupiers include McDonalds, An Post, Lloyds Pharmacy, Mc Sweeney Florists, Dargan Health Foods and Hooke and Ladder.
QRE confirmed that there was very strong interest in the Shopping Centre during the marketing campaign which culminated in 12 bids, including 2 UK property investment companies. It is understood that the new owners are Urban Green Private, who are a local property development company based in Limerick.
The Shopping Centre was producing approximately income of €365,000 per annum, but service charge voids reduced the net income to €200,000 per annum. However, there was huge scope to enhance value by leasing the remaining units on competitive terms and immediately reduce service charge voids. QRE confirmed that they had received numerous calls from tenants during the marketing campaign seeking to lease accommodation within the centre.
The sale was handled by Conor Whelan and Brian Kelly on behalf of Nama.

The second item of concern that happened at the 218th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA) in June was somebody's idea that we Presbyterians need to...um, play nice, I guess, with Muslims.
"Communicate" was mentioned. Okay. No problem.
But then "worship" was mentioned. Huh?
How in the world can Christians worship with Muslims?! Oh wait. I forgot. I keep getting told we all worship the same God. If that were true, I suppose it would be possible to worship together. But we do not worship the same God.
The God I, as a Christian, worship came to earth in flesh, was crucified as a sin offering for the sins of all who accept that, died, and overcame death raising to life three days later. He lives to this day, and is called Jesus Christ.
No Muslim in his or her right mind worships Jesus. My understanding of what Muslims believe is that they believe Jesus was a prophet just like Muhammad, the founder of their faith. So these two are supposed to be equals.
Uhhhh........no. Not happenin' here.
We can't worship together. What are the leaders of the Presbyterian Church (USA) who say we can? Idiots?
Actually, they may be pretty smart. Like the activist judges who change laws regardless of the voters wishes in secular society, wait until you hear about the fast one they pulled. That in my next post...
