La Piazzetta di Gianfranco: Superior pizza and pasta joint
Restaurants in Sibiu are roughly split into two camps: pork-heavy Romanian places, which don't offer much for vegetarians, and those that serve a menu of pizzas, pastas and salads. Most of them weren't particularly inspiring and having such a reduced choice is rather dull.
La Piazzetta serves pizzas and pasta you'd be happy to eat in Italy, unlike the second-rate dishes we ate elsewhere. Presumably Gianfranco is Italian, and the food is authentic. With a local twist if you like - my pizza featured that Central European favourite, sour cream. I also saw people eating pizzas with a dipping sauce, something I saw in a few Romanian pizzerias.
Quality is good - my seafood pizza had gorgeous juicy prawns. Price is reasonable (31 RON for aforementioned pizza). Wines pleasant (we had a local red). View great (Piata Mica). Recommended.
Carciuma din Batrami: The best meal of all.........
If you want traditional food then what better place to visit than a traditional inn set in an outdoor museum of traditional, largely wooden, Romanian buildings?
I've included this place because I'm pretty sure you can get to it without actually entering the museum itself (certainly plenty of locals were doing so when I visited...you can drive down from the road) and because it really does offer traditional Romanian food.
I was visiting the museum (I spent 5 hours there, which gives you an idea of its size) and came across the inn at just the right time, when I was hot and thirsty and ready for something to eat.
There's a pretty extensive menu on offer. I chose a selection of pastoral nibbles ( a 'shepherd's lunch', if you like) : 'pork scraps', sheep's cheese, cucumber and tomato. The bread was free.
The 'pork scraps' were like soft English pork scratchings: cold chunks of fatty meat. Absolutely and entirely delicious, regardless of whether they are 'healthy' or not. The sheep's cheese was also delicious though rather too salty for my own taste. Both tomato and cucumber were, like all the tomato and cucumber I ate in Sibiu, the best I've ever tasted and a million times better than what we get in the UK. Romanian bread is hearty and filling...as was the largish bottle of Ursus beer I had to accompany the meal...so what I had was more than satisfying for a lunch.
The cost? Around 30 lei in total...7 euro or so.
If you are planing to visit the museum then I recommend you also plan to eat at this inn. There are plenty of full meals on offer (including non-Romanian food) as well as snacks and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I sat outside at one of the many tables-under-awnings but there is also plenty of pace inside too.
I notice from their website that they also offer rooms. It would be a lovely place to stay if you have a car!

Kulturcafe Sigi: Meal 1
I could have had any amount of pizza, pasta, steak, chips, burgers, salads etc...but when I visit a country I do prefer to eat the food of that country. So I spent a large chunk of my first proper evening scouting out what the numerous bars, restaurants and cafes in Sibiu's three adjoining squares (Piata Mare, Mica and Huet) and pedestrianised 'main street' had to offer.
I'd not bothered to have a meal after I arrived on a Saturday, having eaten at Munich airport during my transfer. A bottle of superb wine and a few nibbles from the local Billa supermarket was enough. I wasn't expecting much choice on a Sunday evening but everywhere was open and busy and, having wandered and pondered for a long time, I decided to settle on this place in Piata Mica. I hadn't realised at the time that it was based in the basement of Casa Luxembourg, a rather twiddly building originally dating from the 1200s and now a hotel.
What drew me was the Romanian dishes on offer..not many, but enough....and the reasonable prices. So I sat outside under the awnings, watched the many, many locals enjoying their evening strolls and decided on my meal.
I chose the pork with onions in beer gravy accompanied by baked potato slices with rosemary. The presentation was't particularly elegant (irrelevant anyway, imo) but the slice of pork (thick and juicy, a pork steak) was the most tasty and tender pork I've eaten for a very long time, and the onions in beer gravy were particularly delicious. I accompanied the meal with a glass of fruity rose wine (I'd actually ordered white wine but the waitress misunderstood, and rose is better than white with pork anyway).
It was a very tasty and very filling meal, especially as the weather was hot. So I didn't have any room for dessert. Total cost for wine and food was 40 lei, just over 9 euro.
The young waitress was efficient and charming and had very good English. There were lots of locals in the cafe, using the outdoor seating overlooking Piata Mica (the cafe is almost next to 'Liar's Bridge') ...in fact, there were lots of locals patronising all the eating places in the square.
Well worth seeking out if you don't want a full or more formal meal. There is inside seating as well, of course, and I believe Kulturcafe (as its name implies) often has exhibitions, live music and suchlike.

Deli's Restaurant: Evening meal 2: Piata Mica again
A second evening of wandering around seeking Romanian food at reasonable prices somewhere with outside seating led me back to Piata Mare. Having looked at various menus (the square is ringed with restaurants, cafes, bars and eating places and hugely popular with locals, especially at the weekend) I decided that the home-made sausages, 'peasant potatoes' and mushrooms with onions would do the trick on a rather chilly and damp evening.
The sausages were very tasty indeed but, for me, simply too salty. The potatoes were absolutely delicious (those 'peasants' certainly knew how to cook potatoes!) , as were the mushrooms-and-onions, although both were a little oily. The large glass of house white wine I chose was equally delicious (I didn't have a poor glass (or bottle) of Romanian wine anywhere....Romanian wine is excellent).
The whole meal came to around 35 lei (less than 8 euro). The courteous and efficient service of young gentlemen with at least sufficient English was a plus.
This place doesn't offer fancy dishes but the food is good, the wine is even better and the outside seating is an excellent spot for observing the evening perambulations of Sibiu's residents. There is indoor seating too, of course.

Cafe Wien: Nice toastie with a good view
Cafe Wien is right by Sibiu's ancient Evangelical church...Biserica Evanghelică din Sibiu or the Lutheran Cathedral of St Mary, set in Piata Huet.
My last morning was chilly, damp and grey and after wandering the streets for a few hours i needed some lunch. The views from Cafe Wien's terrace over the lower part of Sibiu's historical centre are lovely so I decided to have a coffee and a snack there.
The toastie (cheese and ham) was very good indeed, as was the coffee. I have absolutely no idea why I did not sit inside the cafe rather than shiver at an outside table but when I did go inside, after eating and only to use the toilet (the ladies toilet has a super view!) I found a cosy, pleasant and wood-lined bar/cafe which rather reminded me of an English pub. I really should have eaten inside.......
Cafe Wien offers a variety of drinks (including alcohol) and snacks as well as a limited range of main courses (including breakfast). From their website it's clear they also have musical evenings. I think it would be a good idea to reserve a table in advance for one of those.
It's a very pleasant place for a coffee, a snack or a beer........

Mojo: Upmarket cafe
This place was right next to my hotel and I'd noticed it was hugely popular with better-heeled locals, many meeting up after work for a drink and others meeting during the day for 'kafe und kuchen'. The weather was lovely so the comfortable outside seating was well-used and on a hot afternoon, I decided to treat myself to a fresh lemonade.
There was a large range of flavours on offer but the fresh ginger lemonade I wanted was not available. I settled for fresh mint-and-apple lemonade and I have to say it was absolutely delicious, freshly made and very cooling indeed. The coffee was also very good....Segafredo, which is a widely-seen Italian espresso brand and which always produces a decent cup of coffee.
The cafe also offers cakes and sandwiches as well as other soft and alcoholic drinks.
The seating was very comfortable indeed and the wifi was free, so I thoroughly enjoyed my sit-down. Only one thing rather spoiled the experience: the waitress (who was very pleasant and had excellent English) did not bring my change. I would happily have tipped her but I did object to the tip being taken for granted. I didn't bother making a point of the matter, but it did somewhat grate.
Apart from that blip, this is a very pleasant...if somewhat pricey..place to enjoy a few moments. I haven't got the bill, because the waitress never brought it back, but I estimate that my lemonade and espresso probably cost me around 6 euro (paid in lei, of course).

Restaurant Pivnita de Vinuri: WienKeller
After a morning of exploration we were in need of some nourishment and found a little place just off of the small square, at the top of the stairs before they head down to Lower Town. The salad was full of greens. My veal in a cream sauce was delicious. Even though the place had a great wine list, it was warm and we opted for beer. We ate outside under the grape vines. It was a nice, relaxing place. Apparently the specialty was a quiche of some kind, but we found that out after our meal. \

Cafe Einstein: Casual Mix
Well it seemed mostly pizza, but the Einstein menu did have a number of other items. I tried the avocado soup, but it did not have much of an avocado flavor. They did a good job on the pizza, with lots of pepperoni, mushrooms, etc. The beer was cold. The outside patio was comfortable.

Saturday, June 22, 2013
Part of our VT Bus Tour included lunch and that was in the tiny town of Gura Raului at the restaurant NORICA. Our lovely hostess, greeted us all with trays of shot glasses of a local blueberry liquer. After taking some group pictures outside, we all went in to have lunch. First we had platters of appetizers including meats, cheeses and fresh field tomatoes.
Then a platter of traditional Romanian fare including cabbage rolls (sarmale), sweet cabbage, polenta and home-made sausages.
Lunch included bottles of water, wine and coffee/tea. Also had a lovely dessert. All in all a wonderful experience.
The Norica also is a Pension, offering rooms to travelers.
La Turn: Tasty Italian food in an historic old restaurant
A group of us had dinner here on our first evening in Sibiu. Despite arriving unexpectedly we were easily accommodated inside and I think everyone was happy with their meal choices, though the service was maybe a little slow (but there were quite a lot of us). My ravioli with butter and sage was cooked nicely all dente and well flavoured. With a draft beer it cost 32 Lei (about €8).
After dinner I drank a very good local palinca, a pear schnapps. We had drifted out on to the terrace outside by this time and it was a lovely spot to relax with friends, overlooking the Small Square. Many of us returned here on the last night of the meeting, not to eat, but to enjoy again the relaxing atmosphere of the outside terrace and a last few drinks with friends.
La Turn occupies an historic building in the heart of the city, which dates back in part to the 15th century and was once the family home of an eminent local family, the Reissenfels.
Next tip: the Pardon Café
Pardon Café: Shady tables by the old city walls
A little weary and very hot after our guided walk through old Sibiu on the Friday morning of the meeting, some of us decided that we could not (or rather, would not) walk another step more than we had to, and collapsed here on the terrace of the Pardon Café. There was shade from the large parasols, a menu of refreshing drinks from which to choose, and we could relax here while listening to the philharmonic orchestra rehearsing in the nearby theatre.
I wasn't hungry but was thirsty, so I chose the fresh lemonade with raspberries, which was so good (though not cheap at 15 Lei) that I had to have another! Once I had cooled off I also had an espresso as I needed my caffeine fix for the day. A couple of people in our group did order food and seemed to enjoy their pasta.
I returned here on the morning of my last day in Sibiu as I had come this way to get some more photos of the old walls and towers that make up the southern stretch of the defence system. This time I opted for a simple lemonade which cost 8 Lei and was equally refreshing.
The Pardon gets good reviews for its food and cosy atmosphere so if I were to return to Sibiu I would certainly consider having a meal here.
Next tip: our first official meeting dinner at the Casa Weidner
Casa Weidner: My first taste of some local specialities
The first group dinner organised as part of the VT Euromeet was at the very centrally-located Casa Weidner. This is a hotel with a basement restaurant, which is where we ate – a (fairly) cool cellar with lots of character. There were drinks to welcome us and plenty of room to circulate and greet old friends before the meal was served – a pre-requisite for the first meeting dinner, I feel!
The extensive menu arranged for us included:
Cold buffet dishes: bell peppers filled with cheese, tomatoes filled with eggplant salad, stuffed eggs, meatballs, ham rolls with horseradish, salami, pork loin, various salads
Warm buffet dishes: spicy beef stew, fried perch, pork and chicken, sarmale (a local delicacy of sour cabbage rolls with minced pork stuffing, served with more sour cabbage, a little like a mild sauerkraut, cheesy polenta, baked beans, potatoes, rice, vegetables, pickles;
Dessert: excellent pancakes and another local speciality, delicious papanasi, which are doughnut-like pastries served sour cream and cherry jam
Beer, wine and water were also included in the very reasonable price of €20. Good local musicians played traditional music and lots of old hits (Beatles songs, Elvis etc.) as we ate, and afterwards for dancing – although as it got rather hot for that, and the evening air outside had cooled, many of us drifted upstairs to the outside terrace and sat there for our after dinner drinks.
Favorite Dish: I loved my first taste of sarmale and papanasi, and I also thought the cold buffet selection was excellent. Overall I thought this was easily the best of the three group meals in Sibiu, and the best value too.
Next tip: Saturday night's dinner at Hermania
Restaurant Hermania: Lovely room, but food not so good
The second official dinner for the 2013 Euromeeting was held here in the Hermania Restaurant. The building is lovely, having been previously the home of the Philharmonic Orchestra (hence the name of the restaurant I assume, and the street it is on). The high ceiling gives a real feeling of space and the air-conditioning was very welcome on a hot, sticky evening. I liked the big old fireplace too – I imagine it could be very cosy here in winter.
The set menu for our dinner was:
To start: trout in parsley sauce with mixed vegetables – the fish and sauce I thought were quite nice, but unfortunately for me the vegetables had peas in the mix, which I can't stand and which proved quite hard to extricate from the rest.
Main course: beef in berry sauce with baked potatoes – this looked good but was disappointing as the beef was over-cooked and too dry despite the sauce, though I did like the potatoes and the sour cream and dill topping.
The dessert was a strudel, which was OK but not a patch on Friday's wonderful dessert!
Overall I was disappointed with this meal, which was definitely the least good we had as part of the meeting. The restaurant gets (mostly) good reviews on Trip Advisor but I think the challenge of doing a set meal for such a large group was too much for them, unfortunately. On the plus side, the beer was good and very refreshing, although to have only one large glass included in the €20 bill, after the generosity of the alcohol that flowed at the Casa Weidner on the previous evening, was a little disappointing too.
It would have been pleasant to have again sat outside over a post-dinner drink or two, as on the previous night, but the Hermania has no terrace and when Katherine and I walked back to the Large Square to get a drink there we found that a cool (even chilly) wind had got up and was blowing lots of grit around. There were frequent flashes of lightening too and you could feel the electricity in the air. We decided not to stay out, headed back to the hotel, and got back to our rooms just as a terrific storm broke! Photo five is my attempt to capture the effect of the lightning as seen from my room.
Next tip: Sunday lunch in the Large Square at L'Atelier
L'Atelier: Disappointing lunch in the Large Square
After a lovely walk in the Lower Town with Lori, Katherine and Teresa, and a refreshing iced coffee, Lori returned to the hotel. The rest of us opted to have some lunch and were joined by DAO. We were heading for the Pardon Café, as we knew that was good and in a pleasant location, when our attention fell instead on L'Atelier as we were passing. The thought of not walking any further but instead grabbing a shady table right here on the Large Square appealed, and the menu seemed to have enough choices to satisfy all our tastes, so we settled on this – but that decision proved to have been unwise!
I decided to look for something a little different to drink and chose an interesting cranberry beer called Redd's. This had a good flavour though was rather flat for a beer. My lunch choice, Salad Tricolore, was nothing like a "Tricolore" and was nothing special, and the accompanying pizza bread was dry and seemed stale. None of the other dishes chosen by my friends was much better, and Katherine's chicken risotto was just weird – see photo three to see what I mean!
On the plus side, the location is great and the interior, when I went in to use the toilets, was attractive. But that's about all this place has going for it, as the service was slow and not especially friendly. You can find much better in Sibiu, so give this one a miss.
Next tip: our final official dinner at the Golden Tulip Hotel
Golden Tulip Hotel: A room with a view!
The final dinner of the VT meeting was held in a very different setting from the others – the top floor restaurant of the modern Golden Tulip Hotel, a short distance from the old town where most of us were staying. Being on the top (11th) floor meant for some great views over the city, although I was a little disappointed that the picturesque old town is on the side with the fewest windows (though it is visible from the lift).
The restaurant is a very pleasant, light and airy space, and there was lots of room for us at the three large tables allocated to our group. But I felt a bit sorry for the two couples dining at the other side of the room, especially when we all headed over there en masse to see the sunset, and when a couple of members decided to sing for us, good though they were.
The food was served buffet style and was on the whole very good, with lots of variety, especially cold appetisers. These included:
cream cheese tortilla, perch and salmon terrine, chicken with olives and bacon, vol au vent with ham and cucumber, tomatoes filled with eggplant salad, mushrooms and vegetables, bell pepper with vegetables, salad
Of these, I especially liked the terrine and the salads.
The hot main courses on the buffet were:
grilled pork, steak with mushrooms, baked chicken thighs, vegetables cooked in butter, rustic potatoes with bacon, coleslaw
The potatoes were the stand-out dish of the evening, with most of us going back for seconds. Many also enthused about the beef, but while it was certainly an improvement on that we had been served in the Hermania on the previous evening, it was still a little overdone for my taste – great mushroom gravy though.
For dessert there were two cakes, which looked fantastic, but neither was especially good despite being quite laden with alcohol!
The price of €25 included water & soft drinks, house wine or beer, and coffee. I drank the white wine and enjoyed it, and I thought the price was reasonable for the overall quality and quantity of the food in such a nice setting.
Next tip: lunch in a wine bar

The self-declared People's Republic of Donetsk and People's Republic of Luhansk have been classified as terrorist organizations, the press service of Ukraine's General Prosecutor Office said.
"We confirm the words of [Ukraine's] Justice Minister that the two so-called 'people's republics' in Donetsk and Luhansk regions are two terrorist organizations with a rigid hierarchy, financing channels and supply of weapons," First Deputy Prosecutor General in Ukraine Mykola Holomsha said.
"The so-called people's governors claimed they were acting in the interest of people in those regions, protecting them," he said. "Yet, their actions tell a very different story. Facts of the persecution of civilians in eastern Ukraine have been registered... The purpose of the creation of these organizations is to deliberately propagate violence, seize hostages, carry out subversive activity, assassination and intimidation of citizens," Holomsha said.
Ukraine's General Prosecutor Office jointly with the Security Service of Ukraine began criminal proceedings under Article 258-3 of the Criminal Code (the formation of a terrorist organization) against representatives of the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics. Investigators will also check the involvement of parliamentarians, deputies of local councils, officials, and other persons in the creation of the criminal organizations.
"We also instructed law enforcement agencies to turn to all related authorities for [assistance] in cutting off the financing of these terrorist organizations," Holomsha said.

Zapatistas at Twenty
There are two tests of social change movements: endurance and regeneration. After two decades, Mexico's Zapatista movement can now say it passed both.
The political significance of Zapatismo
Twenty years after the rebellion, against the current, the Zapatistas have maintained a peaceful struggle to create other forms of living and thinking. Today, they continue to defy a Mexican political system, which despite changes in the parties that hold power, conserves many elements of the authoritarianism that existed prior to 1994.
Colombia, a society tired of war
The peace agreements are being boycotted by the far right though the FARC and the Santos government are moving towards the end of the conflict. But the main push for peace comes from the changes that come about in a society tired of war.
Paraguay: Women at the center of resistance
At some point, they will have to find a name for this new culture that is beginning to open up in places where individualism and machismo are under control. For now it is enough to recognize that there are some non-institutional movements with strong ties to base communities and a fairly horizontal organizational structure, that are renewing the political culture, with women in the lead.
No Golden Pond for NAFTA Generation Retirees
Twenty years after the promoters of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) heralded a new age of prosperity, tens of millions of people in the member nations of the trinational trade and investment pact look forward to an impoverished retirement.
Honduras Elections a Setback for Women's Rights
Our International Observatory of Women's Human Rights and Resistance formed with the premise that women's human rights cannot be supported in a non-democratic society and democracy cannot develop in a climate of human rights violations, such as Honduras'. We found that neither democracy nor human rights fared well in the Honduras elections.
Hyperglobalization Still on Course
Has globalization stalled or are we seeing "hyperglobalization"? The question is important since the choice of proposals or actions differs depending on whether globalization is retreating, stalled or moving ahead.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler got thumbs up on Twitter as hosts of this year's Golden Globes.
"Can Tina and Amy host everything?" one user asked.
Their fellow "Saturday Night Live" alums Kristin Wiig and Will Ferrill also began trending after their bit presenting the award for lead actress in a motion picture comedy or musical.
The pair inaccurately recapped each of the nominee's films, and when they mentioned Meryl Streep the camera panned to her "Hope Springs" co-star Tommy Lee Jones, who wasn't laughing.
Soon Jones became a trending topic on Twitter and a clip of the moment went viral.
Viewers also took to social media to lament Daniel Day-Lewis getting the "wrap it up" music during his acceptance speech for the lead actor award.
They called the "Lincoln" actor a living legend who does not deserve to be played off the stage.
Twitter users may also have a longer memory than one might imagine.
"Homeland" is one of the most popular shows on TV, but when Damien Lewis took to the stage to accept his Golden Globe it reminded many of his performance in the HBO miniseries "Band of Brothers." That became a trending topic too.

QUICKQUOTE: "How will we celebrate? I'm Australian, c'mon." _ Hugh Jackman after winning an acting Golden Globe for "Les Miserables," which also won the award for best musical.

Let's Talk About Genocide: Shurat HaDin and The Genocide Legalization Conference
May 14, 2015 § Leave a comment
This week, the organization Shurat HaDin is having a conference titled "Towards a New Law of War". They don't hide where their alliances lie, and on their online conference page (nostalgically illustrated with WWII British bombers) you can find their Western-supremacist and racist agenda stated loud and clear:
…exchange ideas regarding the development of armed conflict legal doctrine favorable to Western democracies engaged in conflict against nontraditional, non-democratic, non-state actors.
Let's Talk About Genocide: Inferring Israel's Genocidal Intent
November 13, 2014 § Leave a comment
When I first set out to prove that Israel is committing the crime of genocide against the Palestinian people, I focused mostly on its genocidal acts. While there's consensus between pretty much anyone that bothered to examine the Convention of Prevention of Genocide [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16] on the fact that Israel is committing the first three out of five genocidal acts:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
A debate remains about Israel's intent to bring about the Palestinian people's "destruction in whole or in part". The Russell Tribunal, in its latest "Extraordinary Session on Gaza" and the 2009 "Fact Finding Committee On Gaza" chaired by John Dugard, both illustrate a narrative of colonialist destruction of the social fabric and a partial wiping out of the indigenous population. Frustratingly enough, both stop short of ruling genocide. While the Russell Tribunal simply says "it would be for a criminal court to determine", the Dugard report goes into much greater detail.

TERRORisms: Israel's Colonialist Dialogue Comes to the Oslo National Theatre
November 9, 2014 § Leave a comment
There's drama stirring in the Oslo National Theatre, but not the kind most cultural institutions expect. Under the auspiciousness of The Union of Theaters of Europe, the Oslo National Theatre has committed to a two-year project titled "TERRORisms":
From 2013 to 2015, theatres from Oslo, Stuttgart, Belgrade, Tel Aviv, London and Reims will get closer to their TERRORisms. They will elaborate different points of view, exploring different aspects likely to determine fundamentally our societies… dealing with the issue of terrorism and its appropriation by artists.
I've just come back from Oslo, and to be honest, Norwegians- as individuals and as a society- didn't strike me to be particularly "determined fundamentally" by "their" "terrorisms". Admittedly, I'm not an expert on European contemporary art, but it doesn't seem to me like there's a lot of artistic appropriation of terrorism being done in the European cultural sphere, and the notion is rather- let's just say- foreign.

Race, not a Biological, but a Social Reality

Race, not a Biological, but a Social Reality: a guest post by Abbas Naqvi.
Mike Brown was not black. Neither was Eric Garner. Nor was Trayvon Martin. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that there is no such thing as black, white, or yellow, from a biological standpoint. Race is a cultural/political phenomenon that has been used to manipulate, control and oppress populations, at times under the veil of science; however, in reality from a scientific perspective, it is a mere optical illusion. As we struggle to comprehend how racially motivated murder can still be ubiquitous in America, it is helpful to consider the pseudoscience that has delineated, and thus divided, us as a nation, as well as the scientific research that shows that our differences are negligible, yet inform split-second life-and-death decisions. Decisions like whether a handheld object is likely to be a bag of Skittles or a gun.
Almost 200 Hollywood Celebrities Sign on to Israel's Genocide of the Palestinian People
August 25, 2014 § Leave a comment
Today, [Creative Community for Peace] say, there is not a single musical act, from Justin Timberlake to the Rolling Stones to Alicia Keys, that they have not approached and coached in advance of their performance in Israel. ~Times of Israel
It's no surprise that the genocidal Times of Israel is so eager to push anti-BDS initiatives. It's also no surprise that one of Israel's most well connected, elite whitewashing team, Creative Community for Peace [CCfP], is doing exactly what it vowed to do- whitewash genocide. However one might wonder about some of the names on the below statement that CCfP has published:
Let's Talk About Genocide: The Case of Palestine
July 22, 2014 § Leave a comment
… declaration made by the General Assembly of the United Nations in its resolution 96 (I) dated 11 December 1946 that genocide is a crime under international law…
Article II: In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
Though still contentious in some circles even within the Palestine solidarity movement, I'd like to join the, Ali Abunimah, Ilan Pape and others [1,2] and put forth that Israel, typical of a colonialist entity, isn't only guilty of war crimes, discrimination, and employing an apartheid system on the Palestinian people, but is actually committing genocide. Before the reader rules me out as another "extremist" and clicks on, I'd like to remind you that all these terms are legal terms. And though I'm by no means a legal expert, I intend to argue the legal points in this article, in hopes of not only proving that Israel is in fact committing the crime of genocide, but that legal professionals would refine these arguments and take them where they belong- International Criminal Court.

Tennis Courts at Clanzel T. Brown Park will be refurbished and renovated as part of the USTA's Davis Cup Legacy program. The City of Jacksonville and the USTA are each kicking in $21,000 for the $42,000 in renovations.
The Legacy program is designed to leave a permanent tennis legacy in the communities hosting Davis Cup events in the United States. Work will begin soon for the project that will convert and refurbish some courts for 10 and under tennis and youth tennis.
The United States defeated Brazil 3-2 in Davis Cup matches Feb. 1-Feb. 3 and advances to face Serbia in April.
Gay marriage legal on southern tip of Florida as four counties all agree gay marriage ban violates U.S. Constitution. Marriages on hold awaiting appeals.
Broward County Circuit Judge Dale Cohen ruled Monday that Florida's ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional. The following day, on Tuesday, Palm Beach County Circuit Judge Diana Lewis threw out the gay marriage ban there. In the past 21 days, four South Florida judges have ruled the ban a violation of the rights of gay residents to equal protection under the 14th Amendment of the U.S Constituion — in Monroe, Miami-Dade, Broward and now Palm Beach. The rulings in all four circuits are stayed pending appeal by Florida State Attorney General Pam Bondi
Florida voters amended the state constitutino in 2008 and made gay marriage illegal.
On Wednesday, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguements in six gay marriage cases from Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky and Tennessee, the Associated Press reports today. Each case relates to statewide marriage bans. The Herald reported Monday that the organization Freedom to Marry says LGBT advocates have won more than 30 times in federal, state and appeals courts since June 2013 when the U.S. Supreme Court tossed part of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act in ruling in favor of Edith Windsor, a lesbian widow from New York.
Judge Cohen cited Windsor in his Monday ruling, the Herald reports.
The Florida Supreme Court delivered a ruling on gay marriage. If the circuit rulings hold, it woudn't legalize gay marriage throughout the state, just in the circuits that have legalized it. A Florida Supreme Court ruling legalizing gay marriage is still sometime down the line. More
Heading into the mayoral election in May, the big hullabaloo currently shaking up Jacksonville's political blogosphere is the recent TV attack ad by Republican Lenny Curry's PAC peeps that aims to directly link the budget cuts and subsequent elimination of 147 police positions under incumbent Democrat Alvin Brown to an increase in the city's crime rate, namely murder and rape. You've no doubt seen these omnipresent ads. They're the ones that come on in between your Family Guy reruns, featuring spooky music and darkened imagery — basically likening 2015 J-ville to the alternate reality timeline in Back to the Future II wherein Marty McFly's bully, Biff Tannen, is at the head of a morally corrupt, criminal-laden Hill Valley. The ad was blatant fear-mongering and, according to an investigation by First Coast News, riddled with factual inaccuracies and false interpretations (that's media speak for "lies"). Murders and rapes did increase during Mayor Brown's first term (though not at quite the astonishing rates indicated in the ad), but the overall crime rate went down. Mayor Brown did have something to do with the budget cuts (as did the cratering economy, but details), but he did not cut 147 officers; the final determination of the allocation of police force resources belonging to Dudley Do-Right (aka Sheriff John Rutherford), who also attributes the budget cuts to the rise in crime rates and is, conveniently, a supporter of Curry.
Of course, revealing the true figures and political motivations behind the manipulated statistics presented to us in the ad is all well and good but, from what I gather, every organization analyzing this ad seems to focus so much on the correlation that they are entirely ignoring the causation.

Miley collapsed and nearly died of respiratory distress from a walk at the JHS. JHS set a goal of raising $100,000 to care for shelter pets at the Mutt March.
"Miley is the perfect dog to represent JHS at Mutt March. She and so many others like her have overcome medical obstacles to bring great joy to their adoptive families. That wouldn't be possible without the funds raised at Mutt March," said Denise Deisler, JHS executive director, according to a press release from the JHS. "We are depending on Mutt March to raise enough money to care for the thousands of pets who rely on JHS for medical care and shelter each year."
The 2-mile Mutt March fun walk and festival will have entertainment, activities for kids and pets, a silent auction and vendors with walking along St. Johns River.
Last year's top fundraiser, JHS board member Lis'e Everly will walk Miley and lead hundreds of other dogs and their families in Mutt March.
"I am walking with Miley in the Mutt March to ensure JHS has the funds needed to care for all of the pets waiting for families with which to share their love," Everly said. "Dogs like Miley stand by us offering us unconditional love, greeting us with enthusiasm and making us smile through the saddest of tears."

The Jacksonville Suns and the contractors on the repair and repainting of the Mathews Bridge have reached an agreement to make it easier for fans to get to the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville for Suns games.
The bridge will remain open both ways until 10:30 p.m. on the first six Friday night games: April 5, April 26, May 10, May 24, June 14 and June 21.
The Mathews will also remain open for opening night on April 4 and on Memorial Day weekend and the Southern Leaguer All-Star Game on July 17.
The $22.7 million repair and repainting program on the Mathews Bridge, which began in September 2011, is scheduled for completion later this summer or early fall, said Mike Goldman, a spokesman for the Florida Department of Transportation.
The Jacksonville Suns are the Double-A Affiliate of the Miami Marlins and are members of the Southern League of Professional Baseball Clubs.
Credited with building his own "Millertary" (good grief), the 22-year-old pop singer Jake Miller is on tour promoting his latest release, Rumors. After releasing two EPs independently, he has been signed to Warner Bros. Records. Miller's music is surprisingly well received, a mixture of Pop and Hip-Hop that is admittedly difficult to master. However, Miller's sound is more of a combination of Disney Pop star and passable rap. Fortunately for Miller, this type of music appeals to the wide fan base of young teens. If nothing else, his current tour/teeny bopper recruitment drive will most certainly be successful in a probable expansion of his "army."
If you see a gaggle of law enforcement officers along Wells Road in Orange Park on Wednesday afternoon it is not an actual emergency, it's only a drill. Some 65 people from the Clay County Sheriff's Office SWAT team, the Orange Park Police and Fire Departments, Clay County Fire Rescue and Everest University staff and students are working together on a training exercise. The college students will be acting out scenarios such as an active shooter on campus to a hostage situation, and the officers and first responders will be honing their skills for an actual emergency. Remember, it is only a drill.
A new poll by the University of North Florida showed that about 70 percent of those questioned still approve or strongly approve of Mayor Alvin Brown's performance. In a similar poll taken last year, 75 percent of those polled approved of the mayor's performance. In the same poll, 48 percent of those polled approve of the job the Jacksonville City Council is doing.
Those polled showed 40 percent were taking a wait-and-see attitude on newly hired Duval County Superintendent of Schools Nikolai Vitti. About 40 percent had no opinion of the new superintendent. A majority of residents, 58 percent, supported the city adding sexual orientation to its human rights ordinance.
The poll was taken between Feb. 4 and Feb. 12 and included 917 Duval County residents. It had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.23 percent. More
Jacksonville is receiving $450,000 from the 2012-2013 Florida Defense Support Task Force Grants, Gov. Rick Scott announced Monday.
The grants are part of $2.6 million awarded to 10 project across the state "to protect military installations and grow jobs and opportunities across the state," the governor said
In Jacksonville, the funds will go for the construction of an explosive ordinance disposal bunker at Jacksonville Air National Guard Base and establishing a maritime research center at Mayport Naval Station.
A grant of $100,000 will to the Florida 8 (a) Alliance in Jacksonville to assist veteran-owned and defense industry small business across Florida.
"These investments are critical to supporting military jobs and further establishing Jacksonville as a major hub for aircraft basing," the governor said.
Mayor Alvin Brown thanked the governor, saying, "This is a remarkable opportunity not only to strengthen our part of national security, but promote jobs and economic development at the local and state levels."
Last Friday, a federal court judge dismissed the complaint that Jeremy Banks, the St. Johns County Sheriffs deputy best known as the boyfriend of Michelle O'Connell — who may or may not have committed suicide back in September 2010 — filed last year against Florida Department of Law Enforcement Agent Rusty Rodgers, Folio Weekly has learned. That complaint alleged that Rodgers lied to and manipulated O'Connell's family members into believing that Banks had killed her, and made false and derragotory statements about Sheriff David Shoar, including that he was helping cover up a homicide by one of his deputies.
"Over a year ago," Shoar said in a statement when the lawsuit was filed, "I personally made a complaint to FDLE regarding the egregious behavior of Rusty Rodgers and [fellow FDLE Agent] Dominic Pape during the investigation of the death of Michelle O'Connell. While Rodgers is currently the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation for 'official misconduct,' I am grateful the civil cases are moving forward to ultimately bring justice and closure to all involved."
On Feb. 13, U.S. District Judge Brian J. Davis dismissed Banks' complaint without prejudice, which means Banks will have the opportunity to refile by March 5. In essence, Davis ruled in his seven-page order that Banks did not come close to establishing the probable cause the court needed to move the case forward.
"The Court is mindful that proof is not required at this juncture of the case," Davis wrote. "Nevertheless, Rule 8 requires a short plain statement sufficient to put Defendant on notice of facts or inferences from them which makes the absence of probable cause plausible. The allegations of Plaintiff's Amended Complaint simply fail to accomplish that requirement."

Community Development Projects
|Issue Date:
|This study focuses on the impact of management on the sustainability of the community development projects in Mutale Local Municipality. Mutale Local Municipality (MLM) is in the Limpopo Province and is about 262km north of Polokwane. MLM is predominately rural and it has two towns, which are: Mutale and Masisi. Fighting poverty is a serious challenge facing the people from this area today. It is interesting to note that poor people in the rural area are mobilizing themselves and start community development projects in cooperation with the government. The Department of Health and Social Development is providing government officers who visit these community development projects with the aim of helping the communities to ensure that these projects are sustainable. The labourers who are attached to the community development projects are then able to look after their families with the money they get from the projects. The communities of Mutale decided to tackle poverty through the establishment of the following community development projects: Tshandama Community Bakery, Thengwe Egg- laying, Mveledziso Catering and Decoration, Matomboni Crusher Stone and Bale Vegetable Garden. The final results from the study show that most of the rural community development projects lack proper management. The main reasons leading to poor performance of community development projects, among others are lack of financial plan, improper management style and lack of active participation of key stakeholders. The study highlighted significant information about the impact of management on the sustainability of the community development projects in Mutale Local Municipality. It was hoped that the recommendation made in this study would assist the community development projects in our country South Africa. Youth should be involved in community development projects. Community projects should be monitored regularly in order to improve the productivity. All the people who are attached to the community development projects should be trained and capacitated toward financial planning, marketing and security management.

Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
- 1 c. margarine or butter
- 1¼ c. sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3 c. all-purpose flour
- .13 tsp. baking powder
- .13 tsp. salt
- 1 c. raspberry preserves
- In large bowl, with mixer at low speed, beat margarine or butter with 1 cup sugar until blended, occasionally scraping bowl with rubber spatula. Increase speed to high; beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. At low speed, beat in egg yolks and vanilla until blended. Gradually beat in flour, baking powder, and salt. Shape dough into 2 balls; flatten each slightly. Wrap each ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour or until firm enough to roll.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Between 2 sheets of floured waxed paper, roll half of dough 1/8 inch thick, keeping remaining dough refrigerated. With floured 2-inch cookie cutter (we like rounds or stars) cut out as many cookies as possible. Place cookies, about 1/2 inch apart, on ungreased large cookie sheet; reserve trimmings. With 1/2-inch round or star-shaped cookie cutter, cut out centers from half of cookies. Remove centers; add to trimmings.
- In cup, with fork, beat egg whites slightly. With pastry brush, brush cookies with cutout centers with some egg white, then sprinkle with some of remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Bake all cookies 10 to 12 minutes, until cookies are lightly browned. With pancake turner, remove cookies to wire rack to cool.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 with trimmings and remaining dough to make more cookies.
- When cookies are cool, spread center of each cookie without cutout center with 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon jam; top each with a cookie with a cutout center, gently pressing cookies together to form a sandwich.

Germ cells can be thought of as the guardians of the genome, utilizing various mechanisms to ensure their chromatin is structured to optimally maintain genome integrity and cell fate. The model organism C. elegans provides a means to investigate precisely how these chromatin structures are organized to achieve this. In a collaborative effort, research in the labs of Nobel Laureate Andrew Fire from Stanford University, USA, Sam Guoping Gu from Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, USA, and James McGhee from the University of Calgary, Canada, reveals how endogenous nuclease activity in C. elegans oocytes shape a particularly unique structure in its chromatin. Guoping discusses their surprising results, published in a study in Epigenetics & Chromatin, and explains how this builds on what was previously known.
Why did you decide to study chromatin organization in C. elegans oocytes?
C. elegans has been a valuable system to study germline chromatin at various levels. For example, phenotypic analysis has been performed for a large number of genes with functions in germline chromatin, and optical analysis has revealed in a great detail the dynamic changes of chromatin structures during germline development. One crucial piece of information that was missing in this field is a high-resolution map of germline chromatin organization. We decided to start with C. elegans oocytes to accomplish this goal because we can get lots of pure samples.
What does your article set out to investigate and why?
A previous study by Andrew Fire and colleagues discovered that part of the C. elegans genome exhibits a strong bias toward a 10-nucleotide periodic occurrence of A(n)/T(n) sequences (Genetics. 2006 Jul;173(3):1259-73). In our most recent work, we decided to investigate whether DNA with this periodic signal is associated with a distinct chromatin structure in vivo. Studies from multiple species have shown that highly positioned nucleosomes tend to be associated with periodic DNA sequences. The periodic A(n)/T(n) signal in the C. elegans genome often continues over a long segment of DNA (>500 bp), which is unusual compared to the same signal found in other species. In addition, this periodic A(n)/T(n) signal is not randomly distributed in the C. elegans genome, but highly enriched in germline-expressed genes. We are very interested in identifying the molecular basis for the connection between periodic A(n)/T(n) signals and germline gene expression. It was clear to us from the start that having a high-resolution map of germline chromatin organization is essential to test various hypotheses that we had and this approach turned out to be quite productive in the end.
Could you describe what was surprising about your analysis?
There were a couple of surprises. The first one is the endogenous nuclease activity activated in the unfertilized C. elegans oocytes. As a result of this nuclease activity, the chromatin becomes fragmented. The second one is the large-scale chromatin organization in which long segments of DNA (>500 bp) are consistently organized on a surface that constrains accessibility to one helical face.
How do your findings build upon what was previously known about germ cell chromatin organization?
The germline has a remarkable ability to silence the part of the genomic DNA that is not needed for germline activities. Various silencing mechanisms have evolved to safeguard the genome integrity across species. In the mean time, genes that are essential for germline identity and early embryonic development must be actively transcribed at certain stages during germline development. How do these genes escape the global silencing activity in the germline? The specification of germline gene expression turns out to be highly complex. Promoters only play a very limited role in this case. Gene copy number and non-coding sequences such as introns and UTRs have been shown to regulate germline gene expression. Based on these previous studies, we were quite open to the possibility that the long-range periodic A(n)/T(n) sequences may play important roles in specifying germline gene expression.
What are the controversies surrounding your findings?
We initially used a standard assay to map nucleosome positioning by performing micrococcal nuclease digestion of the oocyte chromatin. In a control experiment, we were surprised to discover that unfertilized C. elegans oocytes eventually activate an endogenous nuclease activity, which fortuitously probes the chromatin structure in its native environment. However, the presence of the endogenous nuclease activity raised a valid question of whether the sample used in our study can faithfully indicate normal germline chromatin structures. To address this question, we performed a number of control analyses to demonstrate the oocyte chromatin used in our study still maintains several germline characteristics even though these cells have adopted a terminal fate.
What sort of impact will this work have on other fields?
Our work into long-range periodic chromatin organization provides a paradigm to study an uncharted area in which genetic information, DNA biophysical properties, chromatin structures, and germline biology are closely connected. Therefore our work has a broad impact on all of the related fields.
What's next for your research?
Our current working hypothesis is that the long-range periodic A(n)/T(n) sequences in germline-expressed genes promote a highly constrained DNA packaging mechanism in the oocyte chromatin. This unique chromatin structure may represent a novel mechanism to specify germline gene expression. We plan to test various aspects of this model. For example, is this long-range chromatin organization a mechanism to resist the spread of heterochromatin? To what extend do periodic A(n)/T(n) sequences contribute to the observed long-range constraints in chromatin? What are the protein compositions of this type of chromatin structure? Does it require any special core histone or linker histone?
Your article was transferred to Epigenetics & Chromatin from a different publisher, could you comment on how you found the transfer process?
The mechanics of transfer were very helpful. I would certainly be open to engaging in such process in the future. By considering the previous reviews, Epigenetics & Chromatin were able to turn around a decision quickly. I just started my new lab when this work was submitted. So this quick turn around was tremendously helpful for me. Also, since different journals have different scopes and emphasis, it really makes a lot of sense to 'recycle' the reviews from a previous submission process. I think this transfer process can drastically reduce the peer review effort for the scientific community.
