I've read that this year is "the year of the vegetable" and I'm inclined to believe it.
Aligned with this statement, and inspired by this effort in America called Meat Free Monday, which calls everyone to eat less meat not only to promote good health but also to help the environment, I started a Facebook group called Meatless Mondays Manila, just for kicks. How hard could it be to give up meat once a week?
Now, if you go out fairly often like I do, you begin to realize that there aren't many meatless choices available, which is a shame. Of course, this makes total sense considering that we are a nation of carnivores, but the truth of the matter is that vegetables (and tofu) can, and should be celebrated as well, and can be made as equally delicious and satisfying as your slab of sizzling hot, juicy, tender grilled liempo (oh fine, maybe a close second.)
Since I have to stick to my guns on this, I decided to head off to the most accessible place to eat vegetarian: an Indian restaurant. It was time to visit a place I have enjoyed many times in the past, but haven't been to in a long time, Queens.
Located in Jupiter, my memories of this place have always been good. I even remember the owner, a closet comedian, who would often come over to our table and crack jokes a mile a minute while his daughters watched from the sidelines and rolled their eyes. You've got to love family-run joints, though this time around I didn't see any of them.
I cannot say that I've had much Indian food, for although I find it quite intriguing and delicious, it's often low on my totem pole of eats. It's a shame, really, because there are so many facets to it that are just waiting to be discovered by my taste buds. Luckily, I have had quite exemplary versions a few times (though I don't know how it stacks up to the real deal from the land of origin), and after perusing the menu, my interest was once again piqued by the sheer variety of it all.
The thing about Queens is that it has two menus-one Indian, and one they dub as "fusion," or more dishes of Southeast Asian bent with a lot of Indonesian stuff. My tip for you is to order from just one or the other. Don't mix it up, lest you find yourself with strange combinations that although are delicious individually, may not exactly be great bed partners.
So anyway, I went with N, and since we arrived at around 2 p.m., we were famished. Happily for us, there was a huge selection of interesting looking, and meat-free eats! We were so hungry that we were greedily picking on the pickled cucumbers and onions and condiments. Not a good idea if you have a date, as the onion breath factor was killer, but since I was with N who I'm with practically every single day, it was a free for all. Yes, we stank equally.
Normally I don't order them, but we started with a simple plate of papadums (P120). Fun food; it was crispy and not at all greasy likes ones I've tried in a lot of other Indian restaurants. It's a great vehicle for all those pickled onions.
Palak Paneer (P330) is another famous little Indian vegetarian dish of spinach and Indian cheese called paneer, all in a curry sauce. Found in practically any Indian restaurant, most versions I've tried tasted good enough, but would fall with an almost audible thud into your belly. Talk about heavy food. Queens, for some reason, almost seemed light and fluffy. I can see why it is very popular with vegetarians-it really quells your hunger pangs.
Malai Kofta (P299) are veggie substitutes for meat kofta (or meatballs). It certainly tastes like veg, with a lot of root crops in it (potatoes, I believe), nuts and a lot of coriander. Delicious, this one, and great with some long grain rice to sop up all the rich sauce.
Because I wanted to order something from the "fusion" side, I got a vegetarian nasi goreng (180). This was already pretty tasty on its own-an exemplary fried rice-but it went extremely well with one of Queen's ultimate best sellers, Szechuan mock duck (P330). Yes, it looks like duck, and is kind of shaped like duck chunks, but it surely didn't ever quack. The secret is, of course, the delicious sauce-a lot of ginger, garlic, and chilies wok'd with whole dried chilies and chopped green onions. Heck, you could probably eat just the sauce and be totally satisfied.
As I mentioned earlier, all this, of course, didn't really go together-order from one menu or the other, unless you don't mind getting all sorts of flavors mixed up on your tongue.
All in all, it was a great way to start exploring the world of the vegetarian-food that is an often-disrespected faction by the meat lover's brigade. I believe vegetarian food is delicious too, and I think I'll spend a considerable amount of time looking for the good stuff as well. I shall keep you posted. In the meantime, go explore Queens if you haven't yet. If you haven't been in awhile, it's time to re-discover it. And yes, they have meat of every sort on the menu as well.
Easy on the pickled onions, OK?

Stan and Cyndee were driving their new truck camper from Vermont to Big Sky, Montana. We were on our way from Yellowstone to Glacier National Park. The paths would cross, but the timing was off and it appeared we wouldn't get to meet up (does this sound familiar?). Then the sun set, Jupiter aligned with Mars, schedules changed just a teeny bit, and we found ourselves a window of opportunity. We held over an extra day at a free campground overlooking the Yellowstone River, conveniently close to an air-conditioned museum on that scorching day in Columbus, Montana, then took a short detour to the south to meet our friends as they arrived at their destination.
It was a quick visit – not quite 24 hours. We still managed to get hugs, see a concert, hike to Ousel Falls, catch up, talk RV travel and exchange more hugs. Stan and Cyndee plan to drive back to Vermont in the new camper via Glacier National Park. They also mentioned a few areas they'd heard about and planned to explore along their way (which was very similar to our way…) and they sounded awesome. We could do a recon mission!
The Bob Marshall Wilderness (locally known simply as The Bob) is a million-plus-acre designated wilderness area, set aside to remain forever wild and roadless. It's a mecca for backpackers and equestrians (all carrying bear spray) who get to view 9,000-foot peaks, waterfalls, dense forests and wildlife. Access is quite limited. With a bit of research, we found a trail that allowed us to at least get our hiking boots into The Bob on a day hike. From the Seeley Lake area, we hiked to Pyramid Pass, enjoying the alternating pine forests, meadows filled with crazy wild flowers and remote lakes along with views of Pyramid Peak. Lunch was at Pyramid Lake, .25 miles into The Bob.
Hungry Horse Reservoir, at the base of the Flathead Range, spans 34 miles from the border with Glacier National Park south to another access point into The Bob. We camped in a tiny campground, right on the lake, about halfway down the west side with great views of the Great Northern Mountain.
The full scouting report is on its way to Stan and Cyndee. We're looking forward to the stories of their adventures in their new camper and, with luck, maybe an opportunity to meet up further on up the road.
For those who are interested, more Columbus, Big Sky, Owl Creek camp, Pyramid Pass and Hungry Horse Reservoir pix…

Dr. Luke Claims Kesha Already "Free" To Record New Songs Without HimFebruary 22, 2016
Luke's lawyers say "any claim that she isn't 'free' is a myth."
Dr. Luke's lawyers claim Kesha is "free" to record without him, and "any claim that she isn't 'free' is a myth."
When a judge denied Kesha's injunction to record outside of Sony and its imprint Kemosabe Records which producer Dr. Luke oversees, an outcry of attention flooded social media and reignited the hashtag #FreeKesha. Fans coined the term months ago amidst the ongoing legal battle to help voice Kesha's allegations against Luke he sexually abused her. His lawyers are claiming not only is she free to record without him, but her claims are outright lies.
"The New York County Supreme Court on Friday found that Kesha is already 'free' to record and release music without working with Dr. Luke as a producer if she doesn't want to. Any claim that she isn't 'free' is a myth." Lepara added that Sony Music has already invested $11 million promoting Kesha.
Dr. Luke's lawyer Christine Lepara said in a new statement via Rolling Stone, "The New York County Supreme Court on Friday found that Kesha is already 'free' to record and release music without working with Dr. Luke as a producer if she doesn't want to. Any claim that she isn't 'free' is a myth."
Lepra claims Sony invested $11 million into Kesha's career. And the abuse allegations?
"As Dr. Luke has said repeatedly, the allegations against him are outright lies that have been advanced to extort a contract renegotiation and money," the statement continued. "Kesha and her counsel have cavalierly subjected Dr. Luke and his family to trial by Twitter, using a vicious smear campaign to ruin his reputation for financial gain while failing to support their claims. Tellingly, Kesha never reported any purported abuse or **** to any law enforcement authority, or even to Sony Music, and further swore under oath in another matter, while accompanied by her team of lawyers, that it never occurred. The goal of Kesha's counsel throughout has been to obtain a more lucrative contract through a shameless campaign of outrageous claims they will never stand behind in a court of law."
Lepra's statement concludes there's not enough evidence to support Kesha's claims she was raped. "More significantly, the Court also noted multiple times that her vague abuse allegations were devoid of factual detail, and that there was no evidence, whether from doctors or anyone else, to support them."
We think they're missing the entire point. Kesha wants nothing to do with Dr. Luke or any facet of Kemosabe Records. By recording material under the Sony umbrella, with or without Luke, she's essentially okaying his abuse. So, no, Kesha is not yet FREE.

A significant part of Australian Industry Standards stakeholder engagement is attendance at industry events. The forums enable us to engage with, build and strengthen our networks, as well as showcase the work being done by the IRCs we support. They also give stakeholders the opportunity to provide input into the skills agenda.
The events we have attended over the last month revealed some of the themes preoccupying industry: infrastructure issues, challenges of regulating the safe application of new technologies and the flow-on impact on skill needs.
On 16 March the National Transport Commission hosted a 'Future of Transport' Roundtable in Melbourne, where the theme of technology was the main topic. The future of transport will be in integrated, technology-driven and customer-centric mobility. It will face questions like how remotely piloted aircraft will interact with road and rail corridors, and how to deal with new devices that can operate across transport modes (for example, on the road, in the air, and on the water). The roundtable included discussion on how industry regulators can prepare for the increased application of automated operations/vehicles across all modes of transport. I talked about how AIS is helping to address emerging skills priorities through our industry intelligence gathering activities and support of IRCs with Training Package development work.
AIS is continually looking at new ways to design the skills for Industry 4.0. We recently visited Rio Tinto's Operations Centre in Perth to review the emerging technologies and workforce skills used across Rio Tinto's remote and autonomous mining, rail and shipping operations. Rio Tinto training supervisor Vicky Kent, who is also Chair of the Rail Industry IRC, hosted the very informative day. We gained a broader understanding of the impact of new technologies on industries across the supply chain and how Rio Tinto is approaching skills development. The visit included a roundtable with key industry stakeholders from Western Australia. Discussions centred on the effects of Industry 4.0 on skills for mining and rail operations. Read the full article.
At the 20th Anniversary Conference of the Probation and Community Corrections Officers Association (PACCOA), members looked back at 20 years of community-based offender management and forward to the future of offender management. AIS Industry Manager for Corrections, Dan Minton, presented on the role played by the Corrections Industry Reference Committee (IRC), supported by AIS, and the skills outlook for the industry. He highlighted the new and emerging skills in the areas of cultural competency, youth justice, electronic monitoring and surveillance, immigration detention and community corrections.
We delve further into corrections in our article about the Long Bay Correctional Centre in NSW, which is using vocational training programs to provide inmates with pathways to employment and further education on their release, as well as reducing their risk of re-offending. David Gould, Education Services Coordinator, CSI Education, recently gave our Chief Operating Officer Paul Walsh a guided tour of the industries area at Long Bay. Paul said it was great to see the various national qualification and skill set programs that are in place, and how the different industries support sustainability within the corrections system. Read the full article.
Another of our Industry Managers, Jason Lazar, presented at EECON 2018, the Electric Energy Society of Australia (EESA) National Electric Energy Conference, in Brisbane this month. Jason talked to the over 200 delegates about the skills implications of decentralised power generation and the changing grid; big data and automation; the transition away from carbon intensive power generation into renewables, as well as new skills for new services the industry will be offering in an increasingly customer-centric industry.
I was pleased to attend the ASEAN-Australia Aviation Roundtable. The forum focussed on innovation in infrastructure (terminals, airports), airline operations and the skills to meet the projected explosion in passenger growth over the next 20 years. The forecast increase of 150%, led by China, India and ASEAN, equates to an additional 2.1 billion passengers – which is over 50% of the total growth globally. In my presentation, I highlighted key Aviation skills issues relating to International Aviation growth, automation and emerging technology, Aviation security, and air traffic control.
At the Victorian Transport Association (VTA) annual State Conference, I spoke about key drivers for skills development in the industry. I updated delegates on completed, current & upcoming Training Package development projects, which are responding to the skill needs of the transport industry.
Finally, thanks to those who have generously donated to my fundraising for this year's Vinnies CEO Sleepout. We have raised over $3,000 to date. My goal is $5,000. Your support will help change the lives of Australians experiencing homelessness. I will be joining leaders in business, community and government at the sleepout in June.

My studies in flute performance and music pedagogy at the Music School at the University of Hamburg lead me to take lessons in the Alexander Technique, to help manage my own challenges as a performer, quickly followed by the decision to become a certified teacher myself, which has become an integral part to teaching the flute and a bonus to my students.

As a mind body practice it enables a person to come into greater ease while playing their instrument. It reduces unnecessary tension, restores natural poise, breathing, coordination and efficiency. Many people are using the Technique to overcome longstanding physical, technical & mental performance challenges, tweak their skill and heighten their performance edge.
Getting Started
Learning to play a musical instrument is a fundamental skill that goes beyond the music itself. It nurtures our ability for learning in general. It broadens our scope and makes us more receptive to assimilating information and putting it into action. From my perspective as Alexander Technique teacher I am interested in passing on the joy of learning, ease of movement and breathing, so making music is easy and pleasurable. I welcome all age groups and levels. It is a wonderful process and never too late to discover new sides of yourself.

3 Tips For teak outdoor furniture You Need To Use Today

Teak benches with arms and backs are also perfect for indoor and outdoor use, but create a extra formal appearance than the armless and backless benches.
Wood working might be a fascinating interest. The attractive stuff you could make are limitless. Whether or not you prefer to create ornamental things or object that are useful, wood working provides anything for anyone. If you are looking to get into woodwork then below are great tips to help you began worldwide of carpentry.
Prior to make mark to timber, it will always be a smart idea to test out the stain in an unseen area of the hardwood first. This helps to ensure that the blemish will look as you may anticipate it to when completed. This may go a long way in protecting against frustration.
Practice some desk found basic safety. When crosscutting by using a table found, set up your reduce span together with the prevent clamped in your fence. Tend not to use your fencing specifically for steering clear of get kicked rear with a board directly. You need to clamp the block of wood to the fence before your blade. The board's stop is free of charge in the fence once you minimize and once you lower.
Use hot fasten instead of clamps for little things. When slicing, declaring, sanding, or completing one thing tiny, utilize the warm stick gun to adhesive the bit to your pedestal put. The glue holds retains just like clamps, if not much better than clamps. Additionally, it works great for things that clamps is not going to work on. Whenever you finish off your project, loosen it lightly using a putty blade.
Take full advantage of several tools instead of looking to do all of your work on only one. A jig, a tablesaw, a bandsaw as well as a lathe all have their own individual employs. It is important that you know what each of these tools do and you also utilize them consequently while getting the position carried out.

You are able to apply blemish with sometimes a clean, or possibly a rag. Function the mark in from the grain, with it too. You need not really tidy, just have a sleek, even jacket in the wood. Then, wash immediately for a less heavy sculpt, or let it sit on for as much as 15 minutes before cleaning for any deeper strengthen.
Wood working is often difficult, but the advantages are large. The rush of great pride that accompanies creating one thing beautiful is irreplaceable. Implement whatever you have learned in this article to produce amazing sections.

Then this post is for you – find out what to do in Berlin and get some important travel tips for your first trip to one of the hippest capitals in the world. This Berlin itinerary covers some of the most popular tourist places in Berlin like the Brandenburger Tor and the most beautiful places to visit.
Germany´s capital has become one of the most popular city destinations for young and old. Berlin has so much to offer – a trendy city with incredible history and lots of interesting places to visit.
Even though, I am a seasoned traveler, I do get overwhelmed when I plan my travels. And after living in Berlin for three months, I do understand that planning a trip to this fun city can seem overwhelming first but this great Berlin itinerary will help you organizing and planning your 2 days in Berlin.
Find out about:
- Important travel information for Berlin for 2 days (where to stay, how to get around, and more travel tips).
- Best things to do in Berlin in 2 days and what my ideal 2-day Berlin itinerary looks like
Are 2 days in Berlin enough?
Well, Berlin is huge and so 2 days in Berlin is not a lot of time but enough to visit the most important sights. However, all places are places I have visited and which I cannot get enough from – even after having visited Berlin many times, I still keep going back to many of the recommendations which I have listed on this 2-day Berlin itinerary.
Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links which means I might earn a small commission when you buy a product/service (at no extra cost to you). More about it here.
Before discussing your 2-day itinerary for Berlin, here are some Berlin travel tips.
When I went there for the first time, I was one of those who didn't like Berlin at all. However, after a few more visits it turned out to be one of my favorite cities in Germany. Not everybody loves Berlin – it isn't the most beautiful and surely not the friendliest city, but Berlin is probably the coolest and hippest city. Eventually, I liked it so much that I lived there for a few months and I enjoy to return once in a while.
If you like that kind of "coolness" or at least don't mind it, you can have a great time, because Germany's capital has definitely a lot to offer.
How to Get to Berlin
Flight: Berlin is quite famous for an airport that has not even open yet – and no one knows when or if it will open and when the first flights will arrive/depart.
However, Berlin has also two airports that are open: Schönefeld and Tegel. Budget airlines, as well as all other main airlines, operate from these two airports and both are well connected to the city center, so it is easy to get from the city center to the airport via train, buses, or car.
Train: Berlin´s main train station (Hauptbahnhof) is incredible – and a must-see place in Berlin. But the train station is also a good way to arrive in Berlin: Getting to Berlin via train from many parts of Europe is quite convenient.
Ostbahnhof is another train station which is often the arrival point for travelers and it is easy to get around from there.
Car: Some people rent a car in Germany so they can drive on the Autobahn (freeway) – where some parts do not have a speed limit. If you plan to drive to Berlin by car you should know that Berlin can get quite busy and the public transport is great.
While I would recommend getting to Berlin by train or plane I totally understand the fascination of having no speed limit and sometimes a car is just necessary.
Where to Stay in Berlin for 2 Days
Berlin has a great public transport system, so any place is good as long as it is close to an underground station. Popular areas are e.g. "Mitte" "Prenzlauer Berg".
Berlin has it all – from hip hostels and Airbnb accommodations to beautiful 5* hotels. One of the most famous hotels is the Hotel Adlon – in a perfect location and next to the Brandenburger Tor. It is worldwide known but there are many other great accommodations.

If you are more into Airbnb you can use this code to get a 35€ (about 38$ discount) on your stay.
Where to Eat in Berlin
Dining in Berlin is pretty cool because the cuisine is very diverse and quite affordable. Berlin is a melting pot and so is the cuisine – there something for any taste and every budget. Also, Berlin has a leading role for good vegan food, even if you are not into vegan food, you can try great dishes for reasonable prices during your Berlin stay.
My favorite area to eat is Hakescher Markt – a busy area with many restaurants and cafes.
How to Get Around in Berlin in 2 Days
Berlin´s public transport is pretty good – if the employees do not strike. You can see many places by using public transport, and since Berlin is geographically quite big, you will – most likely- need to use public transport/use your own/rental car or take taxis.
If you plan to stay in Berlin for a short time, I definitely recommend one of these Hop-on/Hop-off bus tours.
I admit that I do those tours pretty often in cities I can´t spend much time, but want to see as much as possible. The high competition of the bus companies you can bargain at the ticket "office". They also sell boat tour tickets on the river Spree as well.
Though I even lived in Berlin for a few months (I am originally from Bremen) I did three tours in Berlin over the years and would do them anytime again.

Travel Tips for Solo Female Travelers
Berlin is overall a safe place – however, I recommend avoiding side streets and tube stations at night – especially when you are alone. Also, I avoid tube stations when I am by myself at night.
You need to watch your belongings and always keep your valuables close to you.
Pickpocketing is common but with a bit of precaution, you can enjoy a wonderful trip to Berlin without any incidents.
All the below mentioned activities can be easily done by yourself. Berlin is full of solo travelers and whether you enjoy meeting other people or be yourself – in Berlin you can do both. So, while this is not a specific "Solo Travel Guide to Berlin" it is tailored to solo travelers as well as families, friends or couples.
Enough talking, here is your 2 days in Berlin itinerary.
Day 1 in Berlin
Let´s start with some history of the city.
Stop 1: Checkpoint Charlie
Around 10 am
You could start your trip with visiting Checkpoint Charlie. It is the most famous crossing point between the former East and West Germany. The place is full of history.
A museum offers for the history interested many more information about the Cold War and the division of Germany.
If you are looking for an interesting souvenir, you can take pictures with some US "soldiers" (they expect a 2€ donation) – p.s. it seems the government in Berlin has forbidden this "activity" and you can't take pictures with the "soldiers" anymore.
You can either explore the area by yourself or get your own private tour – for more information click here.
Stop 2: Gendarmenmarkt
Around 11:00 am
The Gendarmenmarkt is very close to Checkpoint Charlie and it is one of the best places to visit in 2 days in Berlin . Though it doesn't offer anything in particular, it is very charming, has beautiful architectures and some cafes.
Stop 3: Brandenburger Tor
Around 12 pm
Maybe the most beautiful way to approach the Brandenburger Tor is to walk down Unter den Linden, the main and probably nicest boulevard in Berlin and a must-see in 2 days in Berlin.
The Brandenburger Tor is the most like the most famous landmark in Berlin or probably in all of Germany and stands nowadays for peace and unity. Though the place is very touristy, it is a must see. No tourist can leave Berlin without having seen this symbolic structure.
On a sunny day (or even on some rainy days) you will find street artists performing – giving this place an extra cool touch – it is definitely one of the best places to visit in Berlin (this is a place you have to visit even if you stay in only 1 day in Berlin).
Restaurants here are pricy but they come with a view, so consider having lunch here.
Stop 4: Holocaust Memorial
Around 2:30 pm
The Holocaust Memorial was created a few years ago and is just a few minutes away from the Brandenburger Tor. It was dedicated to the murdered Jews of Europe during the second World War.
On the way, you will pass the US embassy. Though it isn't very spectacular, but interesting enough to have a look at (of course it is heavily secured).
This day will be a busy day and it is not over yet – Berlin has so many points of interest and you´ll find so many great places that you should not stop here on day 1, but keep exploring more of Berlin.
Stop 5: Kanzleramt
Around 3:30 pm
The Kanzleramt is the official office of the German Chancellor and it is only a stone throw away from the memorial, so you can walk to the Kanzleramt which has been the official office of Angela Merkel, our kind of prime minister/president.
Stop 6: Reichstag
Around 4:30 pm
From there, head to the Reichstag. It is a short walk and no taxi or bus is required.
A Berlin tour wouldn't be complete without a stop at the Reichstag, the German Parliament. The meadow in front of the Reichstag invites for a rest and is a great place to have a picnic.
If you are interested to see the parliament from inside and enjoy the view from the glass dome, you have to book in advance but I suggest you do that because it is one of the best things to do in 2 days in Berlin.
Okay, day 1 in Berlin was quite busy and might have been stressful but with this itinerary for you covered many great places in Berlin. As mentioned above, these are also great things to do in Berlin by yourself – or with friends, families or partners.
Day 2 in Berlin
Day 2 in Berlin can start at the train station which is easy to reach from many places in Berlin.
Stop 1: Hauptbahnhof
Around 10 am
The Hauptbahnhof (Central Station) is the biggest in Europe and maybe the most modern station I have ever seen. If you arrive by train you might have no need to come back, otherwise, it is an interesting place in Berlin and a good starting point to exploring more of Berlin.
Stop 2: Boat Tour
Around 11 am
One of the best things to do in Berlin in 2 days, is to hop on a boat tour and do a Spree tour (that is the river in Berlin) – I love doing a Spree Boat Tour and think, it should be on your list as well. Also, after a busy day 1 in Berlin, you have deserved to take a rest.
Boat tours normally start next to the Central Station and will take about an hour. You´ll get the chance to see many sights, but it will not allow you to see the Brandenburger Tor or the Reichstag.
Some cafes line the Spree, and you can have either have a bite to eat or just sit and relax. What I actually like most about Berlin is the number of cafes and I can't think of any western metropolis that offers beverages for more reasonable prices. I am not a fan of the people in Berlin (they are really unfriendly and "too cool") – but it is easy making friends with other visitors from people all around the world in Berlin.
There is a huge variety and I think there is definitely something for everyone (which makes it a fun solo activity in Berlin, too).
Stop 3: Schloss Bellevue
Around 1 am
Schloss Bellevue, the residence of the German President, has seriously the neatest and nicest mowed meadow I have ever seen. It isn't far from the Central Station and also on my 2-day itinerary for Berlin, though there isn't much else to see.
Stop 4: Kurfürstendamm
Around 3 pm
You can have a late lunch here and then start a little shopping trip.
Even if you are not into shopping, checking out the most famous shopping street, Kurfürstendamm, is one of the best things to do in Berlin in 2 days. Don't forget to stop by at KaDeWe, the most prominent shopping mall in Germany, hosting many luxury shops.
However, each district has its own shopping mall. If you dislike crowded places check out the arcade in the district near your hotel, there are arcades in almost any district.
Stop 5: Fernsehturm
Around 5 pm
Extra tip: If you have some spare time on day 2 in Berlin, check out The Fernsehturm is one of the highest television towers in Europe and offers a unique panorama view. If you want to skip the lines and get up you can check out prices here. I visited once and it definitely a great way to enjoy good views over Berlin.
There is also a restaurant, though we did not eat there, I can definitely recommend visiting this Berlin tourist attraction.
Here are some more activities to do in 2 days in Berlin if you share a super fast traveler or skipped one of the above-mentioned activities above.
Stop 6: Hakescher Markt
Around 7 pm
Dinner tip: I love the "Hakescher Markt" which is close to the Alexanderplatz – you will find lovely cafes in an even more charming environment and it is a great way to end your day in one of the restaurants there.
Extra tip: Potsdam makes a great day trip from Berlin and for more Potsdam tips click here.
"I said I do to Berlin" Read Olga´s post and how she got married to Berlin 🙂
Berlin is indeed a unique city that has tons to offer. For you, it might be love at first sight. Maybe – maybe not but even if it is not be love at first it will probably grow on you. And hopefully, this 2 days in Berlin itinerary will help you planning your trip and see the best of the city in a short time.

Simple Elegant Website Design Can Be the Most Efficient
Why are we in favor of simple elegant website design? Although they're not right for every situation, a simple elegant design is the most efficient type of website for a lot of organizations. It does what a website is meant to do – represent your organization around-the-clock, 24/7 – allowing visitors to easily navigate and find what they want without a lot of clutter.
Of course, we've all been to those websites that make no sense: they're difficult to navigate; nothing seems to be where we expect it to be; and, there's so much information – too much text, too many pages, too many options – that it's too difficult to find what we need.
A simple elegant website design is the opposite of that. It has all the essential elements that your website requires, but eliminates all the rest, typically having fewer pages, sections, and less content. But it's not without its charm either, when done right. Remember, we use the word "elegant." Since these websites are simple, it's crucial that they are also visually stunning.
Benefits of Simple Elegant Website Design?
There are many benefits to having a website with a simple design. Some you can see, some are functional, and some are more on the back-end. Here are five of the primary benefits we wanted to share with you:
- Faster Loading – Because they typically have smaller file sizes and more simplified coding, websites with simple designs typically require fewer HTTP requests. That means they load faster to computers and mobile devices.
- Easier to Scan – Since there's less text and clutter, these websites are easier for users to scan. This is especially important today with so many people viewing web content on smaller screens on their smartphones and mobile devices. But humans aren't the only ones scanning. Less clutter also makes it easier for search engine robots to scan your site content as well, which is desirable if your pages are optimized for SEO so your site will rank higher in search results.
- Easier to Navigate – Because there are fewer pages and sections, simple websites are easier to navigate. This immediately translates to better user experiences.
- Faster to Design and Build – Websites with simple, elegant designs and streamlined coding can typically be designed and built much faster than larger, more complicated sites.
- Easier to Maintain – Simpler websites are easier to maintain because there's simply less content to manage and keep updated, and ideally less complex coding to debug as well.
Do You Need Simple Elegant Website Design?
If your current website has grown so large that it's taken on a life of its own, it may be time to consider a new site with a simple elegant website design. We'd love to build one for you – we build elegant, one-of-a-kind websites to world-class standards. The Rebel Unicorn can also help with all aspects of your digital marketing strategy.

After the photo walk in Centralia last weekend, that I shared this image from, my friend Gary Well and I drove down to the Cedar Creek Grist Mill in southwest Washington. I had never been there before but had seem some images of the place that really had me wanting to visit.
I had a number of things working against me on the trip, the biggest being that I walked out of my house without a tripod, long story, and when we were there the sun was very harsh and casting terrible shadows. Gary was nice enough through to lend me his tripod for a few shots, and I made this one with my 10 stop Lee Big Stopper filter. My hope was to get the leaves to move a bit during a 30 second exposure to give a bit of a "dreamy" look.
When all was said and done, I didn't get the shot I wanted out of camera, but thanks to the use of some creative filters in post, I was able to give it the more soft feel that I wanted for it.
I do plan on going back to the mill at night, I think that this would be an awesome subject for some light painting.

Personalising the fleet management supply chain
Tarik Taman, VP and GM of IMEA (India, Middle East and Africa) at Infor, discusses personalisation of fleet management supply chain.
With power shifting from the retailer to the consumer, the personalised supply chain has been a buzzword in the retail industry for quite some time. But why are we talking about retail in an article about fleet management?
Because the same principles can and should be applied when you think about fleet. For retailers to remain competitive in todays consumer-driven market, they are expected to meet and beat customer demands for customisation and express shipping all without increasing costs. This requires that retailers know their products and their supply chain inside and out and understand what can be adapted quickly to meet consumers expectations.
Just as a retailer must thoroughly understand their product, fleet managers must do the same with their assets. The condition of these assets is key to their success. When it comes to fleet management, a personalised supply chain means having vendors, processes, and systems in place to ensure that necessary parts, materials, and people are available when critical assets require maintenance. Fleet managers often struggle to identify where to properly invest time, but once they identify assets in terms of their level of importance, this challenge can be resolved and time can be invested in the most critical assets.
While all equipment is important, organisations can begin to identify the most critical assets in their fleets. Often, the most important assets are seen as those that require the most maintenance and are at risk of breaking down in the near future ultimately leading to costly downtime, repairs or even the need to purchase replacement equipment. This is a more reactive approach.
The more strategic and efficient method for identifying the most critical assets is determining which assets would have the largest impact on operations. These are assets that, if down, could lead to a potential delay in order fulfillment or delivery causing a decrease in customer satisfaction and productivity. Adding to criticality is a determination as to which physical assets are most expensive to replace. Once managers identify the most critical assets in their operation, they should focus on using reliability centered maintenance to maintain the upkeep of this equipment to ensure a smooth-running operation. Preventive maintenance such as this will help to boost productivity, customer satisfaction and help companies remain competitive.
Reliability centered maintenance (RCM) is centered around the concept of operating physical assets at top efficiency including the quick and precise addition of new assets into service. By ensuring that assets are operating at top efficiency, fleet managers are able to respond to customer needs more quickly increasing satisfaction and experience. Implementing RCM requires identifying assets in terms of their criticality and the risk associated with each piece of equipment.
The more strategic and efficient method for identifying the most critical assets is determining which assets would have the largest impact on operations.
Importance can be determined by creating a risk score based on criticality, priority, and various factors that may change over time, such as an inspection that is now overdue, equipment operating conditions that have deteriorated, an environmental situation that has made the work less safe, a regulatory deadline that is fast approaching and many other possible change factors to consider at a given snapshot in time. All other aspects of an effective asset management plan will be driven by this information.
Next, managers should ensure that the supply chain is prepared to keep critical assets operating. This can be determined by asking the following questions:
- Are the necessary replacement parts and materials available?
- Are the quality, value, responsiveness, and delivery time of vendors reliable?
- Are the correct vendors being used based on product availability and purchasing agreements?
- Are the technicians servicing these assets available when needed and do they hold the necessary training and certifications?
In fleet management, preventive maintenance on critical assets may include tires, brake pads, rotors, suspensions, special fluids, or various other electrical components and parts. Certain parts may be manufactured for a specific reason or specific asset. This means that they must be replaced at the right time to optimise uptime.
An essential aspect of any fleet managers plan should be enterprise asset management software, which can scale as business and maintenance needs grow. EAM supports the personalised supply chain pinpointing an assets condition, last date of service and any external conditions that could impact performance. This technology can track assets of any size, as well as related materials, suppliers, spares, part location and the location and details of outside repair/maintenance shops. An effective EAM solution should be able to analyse data received by fleet managers from telemetry systems to determine asset location and condition, and the best time to schedule maintenance.
To personalise the fleet management supply chain, those who manage it must know the parts, materials, supplier, tools, software, and technicians that keep their assets executing at maximum capacity for as long as possible.

Bor dairy plant
Bor dairy plant was founded on July 25, 1942. After the plant was commissioned it was engaged in milk reprocessing, butter and ice cream production. In the late 80s the reconstruction of the plant took place, 2 shops were added to the main building, a bottling line for milk and dairy products was acquired.
The turning point for the plant came with its association with "Gummy". In 1994, "Gummy" rented some shops for the production of mayonnaise. After the modernization of the equipment in June 1994 the first batch of mayonnaise has gone on sale. Production Association "Gummy" followed the innovative course of development of the enterprise. This is reflected not only in the vital functions of the plant, but also in the direction of its production. In 1997 it began the production of yogurt, in 2002 started the production of condensed milk, and in 2003 started the production of caramel.
Today Bor dairy plant is one of the leading Russian producers of dairy fillings for confectionery and bakery industry. The company was one of the first in Russia to master the technology of milk recombination in mass production. Currently, the plant produces more than 30 kinds of condensed milk, creams, vegetable-oil "CreamMix", soft caramel, natural yoghurts.
The quality service daily checks raw materials and products for compliance with regulatory requirements, monitors the implementation of production technologies.
Our supply service chooses only the best ingredients for production. JSC "Plodopitomnik" (included in Industrial Group "Gummy") provides us with some of them. This guarantees the highest quality of the initial product and its conformity with high requirements of plant.
Production of JSC "Bor Dairy Plant" is delivered to more than 70 regions of Russia as well as to foreign countries.
In September 2011 production line of yogurts was commissioned. Yogurt "Smak" and "Skazka" are now available in a new consumer packaging - 125 g. In May of the same year our company established special storage facilities for liquid fat. In 2012, there was a launch of a new plant for the production of CreamMix. Increased production capacity enabled the plant to expand the range of products.

I know that everyone is endlessly reporting Impeachment news and we weighed in on it too here at GCN. We have an "impeachment is reasonable" moderate blue take, and an "impeachment is unreasonable" conservative red take. But I'm already sick of reading Ukrainian connected impeachment news and that story has only been around for a few weeks. So, instead - let's talk about comic book movies!
Joker. Directed by Todd Phillips. Screenplay by Todd Phillips & Scott Silver. Starring Joaquin Phoenix.
According to some, mainly liberals, Joker is an incel friendly, dangerous film that humanizes the most infamous psychotic lunatic mass murderer in all comic book history. In fact, it's so dangerous that, again - according to liberals - it will incite incels to armed violence everywhere! (Editor's note. Incels are men who are "involuntarily celibate," as in "women won't have sex with them but it's not their fault that women don't want to have sex with them - it's society's fault. And women's fault, too. But not theirs at all.") All over the country, for the realese of Joker, security was beefed up in preparation for the inevitable armed incel rise up!
An excerpt from Stephanize Zacharek's Joker review from Time:
"In America, there's a mass shooting or attempted act of violence by a guy like Arthur practically every other week … And yet we're supposed to feel some sympathy for Arthur, the troubled lamb; he just hasn't had enough love … the movie lionizes and glamorizes Arthur even as it shakes its head, faux-sorrowfully, over his violent behavior."
Fair enough. I do agree that the character of Joker should not be presented as a heroic figure because … well, he's not. He's a lunatic mass murderer. The comics really attempt to clinically explain Joker's behavior and, to be honest, they shouldn't. He's a comic book villain. And that's one of the reasons I generally feel that some things do not cross over well from comic books to live action film. Being lonely, unloved and mentally ill does not realistically create an unkillable, ever escaping from prison comic book super villain. But in live action film, depending on the tone of your story being a ridiculously over the top super villain does not exactly make a realistic looking lonely, unloved, mentally ill human being.
I mean, if you added up the comic book deaths caused by Joker it wouldn't make sense that he would ever escape any kind of prison. After murdering hundreds of people, well, the fourth, or fifth, or sixth time he was captured, Joker would be over medicated into comatose form and locked away in a deep, dark hole - and no one would ever hear from him again!
But, that's not exactly drama. And comic books don't need to live in the real world and they shouldn't have to. The medium that comic books exist in allow Joker to escape over and over so Batman can heroically triumph or occasionally, tragically fail against the antagonist. That's drama.
And so now we have the new film, Joker. Which attempts to give reason to the "why" of the Joker's mass murdering madness. While I find the film compelling and Joaquin Phoenix is quite good in the lead role I keep going back to the "But, Joker isn't a realistic super villain - he doesn't need a realistic … ohh, never mind!"
The tone of Joker is dead serious. Sure, the film perhaps pays a bit too much homage to Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy (especially with that DeNiro casting) but, so what? General audiences would probably be shocked to realize how often film directors steal from each other. Paying homage to other film sources is not exactly the cinematic crime that cinephiles are pretending it is. It's a film that drips with believable pathos and realistic character motivation but I'm not exactly sure I bought the societal folk hero angle as Gothamites embraced the crimes of Joker. I mean, IF something like that happened in a city it could very well be a realistic motivation for a Batman figure to rise up to fight that level of city wide injustice. But, as told in Joker, city folk rise up in riot for Joker I just didn't find it very plausible. On the other hand, the Joker is a very unreliable narrator and much of the movie, especially the last fifteen minutes or so are wide open to multiple interpretations. My personal interpretation is clearly more accurate than most others, obviously. =)
BUT - I don't really want to go into further detail about it because, spoilers. I guess I'll just say that Joker is worth seeing; and lots of folks feel that way too as it broke box office records around the world. It received an eight minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival where it won the top award even though critical opinion is mixed landing currently at 68% on Rottentomatoes.com. Joker is neither as dangerous or as dull as critics are portraying it. And, I guess I didn't find it to be the masterpiece a few are claiming.
As for the armed, violent incel revolt? Meh. Probably won't happen. Don't get me wrong. Some self absorbed lunatic somewhere might pick up a gun and go on a murder spree but, as we all know, they would have done it without Joker ever getting involved.
And now, I will leave you with the greatest Batman / Joker knock-knock joke, maybe - ever.
Joker: Knock knock.
Batman: Who's there.
Joker: Not your parents.
Our newsfeeds are bombarded with so many stories about excessive use of force within the police department that it's almost shocking to read something about cops that is the exact opposite. Now, I know that the vast majority of good deeds cops do go unreported because they are not sensational stories. The headline, "Cop does something nice" does not sell much of anything. And so there is a silent majority of cops that do their jobs and get little to no fanfare. And much has been written about the more and more common tragedy of a law enforcement officer shooting an unarmed civilian. But that's not what I'm here to do today. Today I went and found a "cops do something nice" story. And I'm going to tell you all about it.
Meet: Heroes, Cops and Kids. A community organization comprised of Dallas Police officers, teachers and other community leaders created to be positive role models for the community and its kids. From their website, "We strive to promote good behavior, good decision making and to teach coping mechanisms for peer pressure."
Well, that sounds delightful. BUT -- the cynical side of my brain immediately thought, "I bet it's kind of racist. I bet it's a bunch of white cops that go into poor black neighborhoods and tell the kids to stay off crack."
Hrrmmm. Not exactly. In a moment where I must remind myself that my paranoid lefty-liberal brain is not always correct. (I try not to say that out loud too often -- I have a reputation to protect as a liberal know it all!).
So, what does Heroes, Cops and Kids, do? Well, basically, they dress up as superheroes and visit terminally ill children. They also work with communities to build positive relationships between the police and the community. A portion of their mission statement from the Heroes, Cops and Kids website:
Okay. I'm on board.
Meet Officer Damon Cole, founder of Heroes, Cops and Kids. Officer Cole has several hero costumes -- Superman, Spider-Man, Batman, Ironman and he even owns a tricked out Superman Dodge Charger.
Cole's Twitter account is littered with photos of his visits to children's hospitals, some of which he flies to and some of which he drives a thousand miles to get there in time. All on his own dime. Of course, now, through his charity he can accept donations. And I hope it works because he has literally spent tens and tens and tens of thousands of dollars costuming and tech'ing up -- his car, the costumes, his Batman costume alone has multiple gadgets and his War Machine costume has speakers that can blare music from within the armor. Which, apparently, the kids love.
In a fun, "life imitates art" moment, Cole, dressed as Batman for an off duty charity event, busted a man shoplifting DVD's -- one of which was, "The Lego Batman Movie."
Inside Edition has a really cute one minute piece on the Batman / DVD shoplifting story.
Now, through his charity Cole can accept donations. He also has a team of volunteers that support, assist and costume up on their own. Reading about their organization, watching their videos and scrolling through their photos -- well, it even warms my dark liberal heart. I seriously love these people.
Heroes, Cops and Kids -- well done.
Zoomin.TV has a short video on their organization.

For better or worse, Britain's exit from the European Union (EU) begins. In the morning of March 29th, 2017, the British representative to the EU handed in the UK's separation papers to the President of the European Council in Brussels. You see, the institutions of the EU are headquartered in Brussels, a city now famous for three things: Belgian Beer, Mr. JCVD himself (the "Muscles from Brussels") and the labyrinthine bureaucracy of the EU.
Once such point of bureaucracy is Article 50 from the 2009 Lisbon Treaty which lays the groundwork for any EU member to, "withdraw from the Union in accordance with its own constitutional requirements … shall negotiate and conclude an agreement with that State, setting out the arrangements for its withdrawal, taking account of the framework for its future relationship with the Union."
Until now, no state within the EU has invoked Article 50. Greece debated the idea as recent recessions, three recent public healthcare meltdowns and bailouts that seem to have done Greece more bad than good. It seems reasonable the Greeks would want change, but they never actually invoked Article 50. (New York Times coverage Explaining Greece's Debt Crisis).
As for Brexit, England and Wales, they voted "yes." Northern Ireland and Scotland voted "no:" Why not let England and Wales leave the EU and the other two countries remain? That seems fair. Not that fairness has much to do with the complex international treaties that govern the EU but, whatever. So, here we are, and now the United Kingdom has two years to negotiate its exit.
I also have no doubt that the immediate impact of the withdrawal will be felt first and foremost by the poor and the disenfranchised. A Scotsman recently turned me onto the plight of the Roma when he said, "... Roma families here rely on EU funding to assist their children getting proper support and education, as we are culturally so prone to isolating and pushing out Roma people they are often forced into poverty". Precursory interneting shows me the Roma are a group of people so marginalized and maligned I am reminded of the sad history between the United States and the Native Americans.
So then, who actually benefits from Brexit? Well, if Brexit were a crime, Batman would be able to solve it by asking his two crime-solving questions:
1) Who benefits from the crime?
2) Where does the money go?
Fair enough, Batman. Who does benefit? Where does the money go? Abandoning the EU ends free trade between the UK and all other other members of the union. Do the words "abandon free trade" sound like they will lead you to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? I'm pretty sure it's easier to move money and products around Europe with, you know, free trade. In fact, it seems to be the only thing economists actually agree on. Will the UK benefit by abandoning open borders? Will it be more secure from terrorism? No. Terrorism is way more of a law enforcement issue than a border issue. Also, I'm no Batman, but I suspect an influx of immigrants fuels an economy and helps pay for public services.
The enormity of the negotiation deal is way beyond the scope of one snotty American opinion. Obviously, some people will benefit, some people will not. Which people will fall into which category? And what will the ratio of benefited to not benefited be? Will Brexit do the most good for the most amount of people in the UK?
I guess we're about to find out.
Yes! To the best of my Googling skills, Brexit happened, well, the same way these things always seem to happen -- bumbling politicians! You see, as a last ditch effort to save his political ass, former Prime Minister David Cameron proposed an independence referendum to -- I don't know appease the rising populist movement? Then, obviously, he turns right around and actively campaigns against it! Propose it. Campaign against it. Genius!
How hard did he campaign against it? Imagine Captain America punching a Nazi in the f**king face (because Cap hits hard)! That's how hard Cameron campaigned against the yes vote to Brexit.
Only Cameron's plan didn't work out so well. As we all know, due to the rise in populism, the "yes" vote to Brexit won by a narrow margin and former Prime Minister Cameron stepped down. In 2016, Theresa May became head of Her Majesty's Government. May, despite having also campaigned for a "stay in the EU vote," is now tasked with overseeing Brexit. In fact, May publicly warned voters, Brexit would damage the economy, harm security, erode the kindness of dogs, cause the sky to turn a sickly pink-green color and altogether obliterate the taste of strawberries. (I might have made some of those examples up).
Weather Brexit will destabilize the EU or become disastrous to the UK economy remains to be seen. As usual, when any huge political change is announced, the day the "yes" vote passed, the UK stock market took a hit but slowly climbed back up in following months. I believe the pound is still a bit down in value versus both the U.S. dollar and the Euro, making travel to the UK a tad less expensive, but predictions of economic crisis, recession, a huge rise in unemployment and the "Tasteless Strawberry Apocalypse" have not proven accurate. Yet.
The UK now enters unknown territory and pundits on both sides of the political spectrum, and all over the world, have wildly opposing utopia/dystopia predictions. I suspect Brexit results will land somewhere within the usual parameters of, "the poor suffer, the middle class pays for it all" and the wealthy "get some more tax breaks." Business as usual.
Prime Minister May was correct about one thing, though. May predicted that a yes vote to Brexit would piss off the Scots and that they would vote for another independence referendum. If you recall, way back in 2014 AD, the Scots voted on an independence referendum to break from the UK. At the time, the Queen, the fine folks of England and a whole bunch of wealthy, elite, old, white Scots told the world, "This is a terrible idea! We're stronger together!" The independence vote failed.
Guess what? That next Scottish independence vote May feared? Well, as of Tuesday, March 28, 2017, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon (of Scotland) won a Parliamentary vote for a new referendum. In fact, First Minister Sturgeon promised "endless independence campaigns."
We all know what that means. England was the driving force behind Brexit and now believes that sometimes you must dissolve a partnership in order to move forward, which is why they will be completely sympathetic and understanding about Scottish independence this time around. England will cast off thousands of years of English imperialism and will cooperate fully with the Scots independence. England will, in no way, spend massive political capital and crushing amounts of money on a propaganda, smear campaign against Scottish independence. Finally, England will totally give up their entitled ownership over all that Scottish oil in the North Sea.
I predict the new Scottish Independence Referendum will be a smooth-sailing, easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy walk in the park victory for the Scots. I mean, that's all obvious to you too, right? Countries don't control other countries just because of entitlement, imperialism and/or oil money!
We're all on the same page here, right?
