The Campbell family of Zimbabwe -- Mike Campbell, his wife, Angela, their daughter, Laura, and their son-in-law, Ben Freeth -- may have been white people determined to hold on to their farm, but they were not in the mold of colonialists hanging on to land extorted from blacks. They were among the native-born whites who did not flee in 1980 when Zimbabwe, the former Rhodesia, achieved full independence and black majority rule. Embracing the new country, Mike and Angela expanded their small farm that same year, buying additional land to create a game preserve, with the full approval of the newly elected government led by independence fighter Robert Mugabe and his Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) party.
Twenty years later, the Campbells found themselves in the crosshairs of a brutal land redistribution program enacted by the same Robert Mugabe. Lucy Bailey and Andrew Thompson's Mugabe and the White African is an inspiring and chilling account of the Campbells' efforts to fight the government.

Filmed over 12 months in 2008 in Zimbabwe, South Africa, Namibia and Great Britain by Bailey and Thompson, with Thompson and sound recordist James Snowden working clandestinely in Zimbabwe under risk of arrest, Mugabe and the White African discovers a family of remarkable courage, one that stands up to violent intimidation and dares to take a despot to an international court. The secretly shot footage in the film also shows the violent methods that despot used. On April 6, 2011, Mike Campbell, age 79, paid the full price of his courage: He died in Harare, Zimbabwe from the brutal beating he received on June 2, 2008, as recounted in this film.
It is widely recognized that land redistribution is a ticking time bomb in Zimbabwe and neighboring South Africa, where native-born whites continued to own most of the land even after the arrival of black-majority rule. To avoid violence and keep their skilled white populations, many of whom, like the Campbells, identified as white Africans, governments in both nations adopted cautious approaches to land redistribution. In South Africa, such caution has so far succeeded in averting violent civil conflict. But in Zimbabwe, by 2000, something had gone seriously amiss.
That was the year armed gangs of supposedly landless former independence fighters, urged on by Mugabe, who had "cancelled" all title deeds and declared all land to belong to the government, began invading white-owned farms. The gangs squatted on the land, threatened and beat owners and workers and, if all else failed, burned the farms to the ground, killing those who got in their way. The land invasions were soon exposed and widely condemned as a cynical land grab meant to entrench Mugabe's power while lining the pockets of the ruling circle. Adding insult to injury, the removal of so much land from productive use sent food prices and hunger soaring -- especially among poor black Zimbabweans.

When Mugabe and the White African opens in December 2007, Mike Campbell and his family are among a handful of holdouts against Mugabe's tactics. The film affords a harrowing taste of the constant vigilance and physical courage required of Mike and son-in-law Ben to defend their land. They must be ready to confront dangerous thugs -- or well-connected Zimbabweans -- at all hours. They typically arm themselves, but it soon becomes clear that cool heads, brave fronts and fast talk are their best weapons. They must also attend to the fears of the farm's workers and their families (some 500 people), who face equally violent intimidation. In one revealing and terrifying scene, the son of a government minister shows up in an expensive car and berates Ben for not abandoning the land, saying that he wants the farm, that there is no place for whites in Mugabe's Zimbabwe and that worse retribution awaits the family members if they don't give up.
The Campbells realize they won't be able to hold on to their farm in a country where the police offer no recourse and court orders halting the invasions are simply ignored. As 2008 opens, they have two hopes. In presidential elections that year, Morgan Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change (MDC-T) presents credible democratic opposition to Mugabe. And, in an unprecedented and highly public challenge, Mike has charged Mugabe with racism and human rights violations in an international court, the Tribunal of the South African Development Community (SADC), sitting in Windhoek, Namibia. The tribunal, created by the 14 nations forming the SADC, is charged with protecting the individual rights of citizens of the member nations.

On June 29, 2008, just two days after a stolen presidential run-off election, Mike, along with Angela and Ben, suffer horrendous beatings at the hands of ZANU-PF thugs. With hope for democratic change all but gone, Mike and family pin their hopes on the SADC court, which is due to hear their case in November. Their lawyers are precise and articulate in pressing their claims. The judges are solicitous and scandalized. Mugabe's large team of lawyers offers little defense. The sight of Ben, still hobbled by the beating, being wheeled into court in a wheelchair is heart-rending but also heartening. Yet it is also an ominous sight. And when the court rules decisively in the family's favor, the critical question remains: Does the court have the means and the will to protect the Campbells in Zimbabwe?
Mugabe and the White African is a rare inside report on a growing economic and human rights disaster in a country that should be one of Africa's richest. It is also a portrait of almost unbelievable fidelity and bravery on the part of a family that, in other circumstances, might seem quite ordinary.
"There's been a lot of reporting on the deteriorating situation in Zimbabwe, but we felt the white farmers' story had been mostly overlooked and needed telling," says co-director Lucy Bailey. "For one thing, the SADC court case represented a watershed moment in southern Africa, where those nations were challenged to stand up for basic human rights."
"The film is a window on what is happening in Zimbabwe now," says co-director Andrew Thompson. "It is also fundamentally a story of the bravery and faith of ordinary people confronting corrupt power, and that's a story that seems to be breaking out all over."

From Transportation Planner to Hack(er) in One Weekend
Guest post by Thea Walsh, MORPC Director of Transportation Systems & Funding
At the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC), we love all things transportation. We know how powerful and effective a safe, reliable, efficient, and accessible transportation system can be in improving the quality of life of Central Ohio residents. And that's why we are always working with local governments and regional organizations to embrace innovation in transportation. But we don't interact nearly enough with the city's entrepreneurs for ideas to make us think outside the planning bubble.
Startup Weekend Columbus: Smart City Edition was both MORPC's and my first time spending a weekend with curious, passionate, and enthusiastic people who want to do amazing things to make our world better while also creating a successful business. This past weekend gave me a rare opportunity to put myself in the shoes of an entrepreneur, and what a frenetic, fun ride it was!
Smart City? Yes, we'll help with that.
It's not often the U.S. Department of Transportation announces a national competition worth $40 million to one winning city. Smart City is a chance for Columbus to become the country's first fully deployed and integrated innovative city – with self-driving cars, connected vehicles and smart sensors in the transportation network. With Columbus chosen as one of just seven finalist cities, this is something to be proud of! The winner will be announced in June.
Winning the Smart City competition is the ultimate work of collaboration, and Startup Weekend embraced that attitude and even took it to the next level! More than 100 entrepreneurs started the competition by pitching ideas relating to a variety of Smart City verticals including transportation, infrastructure, internet accessibility, sustainability, internet accessibility, urban agriculture, energy, and more. From there, they formed teams around the top ideas as determined by a popular vote.
Startup Pitches to Results
We've worked in transportation for a long time, and all of our technological advances have started with taking a risk, research and data, collaboration, and conversation among those in the region.
The same is true of the Startup Weekend teams. Each team that I worked with was so eager to hear about MORPC and the information or data that would make their projects stronger. The enthusiasm for innovation was infectious. They were also passionate about finding the right end products for our Smart City, which was not always easy. On Sunday they shared their concept with the judges. This is not a "relaxing" weekend activity by any stretch of the imagination, but it was a very rewarding experience.
We're All in This Together
I want to thank all of the Startup Weekend participants and volunteers for spending a weekend dreaming big, being bold, and sharing ideas. Congratulations to the winning team – Fender Defender – but the event did not end Sunday evening. In fact, on Monday morning at our weekly MORPC Leadership Team meeting, we recalled the many other innovative business concepts and started making plans to meet up with these entrepreneurs!
Finally, I leave this thought and impression of my weekend: Columbus has always been about cooperation and collaboration. We are the intersection where well-built relationships and technology come together. To us, it's just… smart.
8 ways to win Columbus Startup Weekend: Smart City Edition
You're about to attend Startup Weekend: Smart City Edition. What will it be like? How do themed events work? You've read the schedule, but maybe you're still unsure about what to expect. This guide is for you.
All Startup Weekend events follow the same basic model: Anyone is welcome to pitch their startup idea and receive feedback from their peers. Teams organically form around the top ideas (as determined by popular vote) and then it's a 54-hour frenzy of business model creation, coding, UX/design, and market validation. The weekend culminates with presentations in front of local entrepreneurial leaders with another opportunity for feedback and to win prizes. This event is focused exclusively on Smart City ideas.
Not sure what making a "Smart City" is all about?
Building a 'Smart City' is about using innovation, data, and technology to streamline transportation, reduce pollution, minimize energy use, cut costs of city living, and connect citizens. This is an exciting time for Columbus because the city is competing against 6 other cities around the nation for over $60 million in federal grants to fund initiatives in sustainable transportation, smart logistics, and access to jobs—learn more here! A 'Smart City' is a city built for the future.
Some categories to get you started:
– Transportation
– Infrastructure
– Internet Accessibility
– Sustainability
– City Planning
– Water
– Energy
– Urban Agriculture
– Waste/Recycling
OK, now that you're up to speed on what types of ideas are able to be pitched, let me tell you how to best take advantage of the time you have.
1.) Come with an idea
Obviously this event is about building awesome ideas. Do some homework looking at the categories above and thinking of some ideas around them. If you bring an awesome idea and form a talented team, you will get the most out of the event and maybe even walk away with some prizes!
2.) If you don't have a serious idea, pitch something – anything!
Startup Weekend provides you with the rare opportunity of an incredibly open, friendly environment for you to practice getting in front of a crowd. I don't care if you're pitching the next UBER or on-demand cat food delivery, it's worth pitching. Take advantage of the opportunity!
3.) Be ready to join another team
We will have a lot of ideas pitched. Mathematically, it's impossible for all ideas, or even the majority of ideas to be built with a team. Keep an open mind and listen to the other pitches – chances are good that you'll be joining on with another team and idea.
4.) Select your team intentionally
I cannot understate this: your experience will be driven by your team. You will be working hard with these folks for 54 hours, and you want them to be open, fun, smart people. It's almost impossible to completely know on Friday evening if you're going to be best friends with someone, but it's pretty easy to get a feeling if you won't get along with someone. Even more important than the idea you work on is the team you work with.
5.) Bring your business cards
This event is not about selling your products or services, but you will almost certainly meet a whole host of people you want to follow up with after. You may form lifelong friendships – seriously. Bring your personal cards and expect some authentic, deep networking.
6.) Come early Saturday for yoga
We will have Josie Schweitzer of Thank Yoga providing a free 30-minute session at 9am on Saturday morning. Namaste!
7.) Bring an appetite
We will be feeding you seven full meals during the course of the weekend from a slew of local providers. Outside of that, we'll have snacks and drinks throughout the weekend as well. You will be well fed, so enjoy it!
8.) Make some social media noise
Columbus is a finalist for the $40 million Smart City grant! An initiative seeking to create a model city that uses data, technology & creativity to shape how people and goods are transported, this opportunity will change the future of our community.
Our event is aligned with the city's efforts, and we'd love to support them through the event as well. Take advantage of the below hashtags to help Columbus rise to the top!
Are you convinced? Tickets for our next event, Smart City Edition, May 13-15 at Rev1 Ventures are still available! Click here to learn more and punch your ticket.

I know this came out in the 90s, and it is referenced constantly, and everyone and their grandmother already knows how great it is, but The Long Halloween is really, really good.
This events of this novel take place relatively early in Batman's career, having worked with Lt. Gordon for some time but with a seemingly new relationship with DA Harvey Dent. There is a turf war between two rival crime organizations, and Gordon and Dent are struggling with how to best deal with these threats. Dent and Batman try to take matters into their own hands, but the gangs find out that Dent is involved and blow up his house, injuring himself and his wife. Afterwards, a mysterious vigilante kills one the villains on major holidays, carefully leaving themed tchotchkes at the scene, and thereby earning the nickname the Holiday Killer. Throughout the ensuing years, the reader sees many of the regulars from the Batman universe including the Joker, Catwoman, and a host of other at Arkham Asylum and out in the wider world. The killer(s) are eventually revealed, but the book builds the tension towards the ending, where Two-Face is introduced.
The story itself is set up cleverly, with each individual episode built around the given holiday and associated murder, making the passage of time easier to follow than it is in some novels. This book is great not only because it is a well written Batman story, but also because it is a pretty good murder mystery as well. It has a lot of atmosphere, and gives some great backstory for both Dent and Batman, particularly with the relationships he develops with others. I am going to seek out the sequels written by Loeb and Sale, as this might be one of my favourite superhero graphic novels ever.

Are you wondering if window privacy film is for you?
There are two kinds of privacy window films:
Opaque window film provides 24 hour privacy. This is useful for windows where permanent privacy is needed and the view of the outside is uninteresting or unneeded. More often than not opaque window film is light filtering meaning that although you can't look in or out light does come in. Types of privacy window film include:
Window film is sort of a permanent window covering. Although it is removable it is not something that you will easily want to take off after it is put on (even the reusable ones.) Therefore you should use opaque window film only if you have an ongoing need for it.
One way window film is a 'look out but can't look in' application which provides privacy mainly by day.
This is because this type of film the side that has more light will be visible. By day the outside naturally has more light therefore you can see out from the inside. However when night-time comes the inside is very often lighted therefore night-time privacy is not realistic with one way window film.
This kind of daytime privacy window film includes:

Congratulations to Annelise Winter who celebrated her 100th birthday on 23 November.
Born in Berlin in 1915, Annelise Clara Goeritz came to Britain in May 1939.
Her father's second cousin had the foresight to leave Germany in 1933 with all his assets and she worked in his Staffordshire factory for 30 shillings (£1.50) a week, paying £1 a week for board and lodging.
Towards the start of war, the factory moved to Edgware and Annelise came to London with it. But she changed jobs to underwear firm Lux Lux Ltd, stitching shoulder straps to vests. She eventually responded to a newspaper ad for typists for the Civil Service. She passed the test and worked in a typing pool.
Both in Staffordshire and London, she experienced great kindness. She went to an AJR Youth Group for 25-35 year olds, where she met her future husband, Oskar Winter. They married on 28 October 1950 at Hampstead Registry Office. They lived in Kilburn before purchasing a bungalow in Mill Hill, where she still lives.

What did Serena say to you at the net? I thought she mentioned the doubles match; is that right?
Yeah, she--I don't know how to say in English, like good luck me in doubles.
Ekaterina Makarova
At this point in your career are you still working on your game, or has it now moved off to being consistent?
No, absolutely still working on it. I think in life you should work on
yourself until the day you die. I think why not apply the same thing to
your tennis game? Yeah, I'm still working on it.
Serena Williams
Could you guys tell me how long you have been a team and how you originally became a team?
Bruno Soares: We have been playing for two weeks. No, I tried to play with Sania for a long time.
Sania Mirza: What a lie.
Bruno Soares:
She finally gave me a chance to play. I mean, my results before wasn't
good enough, so after a couple of weeks she accept my offer. I'm just
joking. She had another partner, and after Wimbledon she messaged and
another conversation started.
...I was pretty ready for it. I felt good. I felt physically good, you know. Technically the ball was sitting good on the racquet.
Ekaterina Makarova
If I can play Venus, I can play anybody.
Serena Williams
I believe the best in people. I believe if you
need a bathroom break you go to the bathroom. If you need treatment, you
get treatment. I don't think any rules should be changed.
Caroline Wozniacki
Bruno Soares: I guess now Sania, she will accept my offer to play Australia.
Sania Mirza: We have to win. My standards are very high.

Meet Bessie an approximately 6 year old GSD cross looking for a new home with us here in the Southwest.
Bess is a fun loving girl with an independent streak. She's best suited to an adult home or one with older teenagers only. She does enjoy being patted and spending time with people but her favourite past time is getting out and about.
Bess isn't suited to living with other dogs and is untested with cats. She walks on a lead using a collar at the moment but may benefit from introduction to a two point harness or head collar. She is smaller than a full sized GSD though so has less power behind her.
She does like toys and walks are the best point in her day. She's looking for an active experienced home that can exercise her brain and her paws, are you the one for her?

The status of our Depron foam kits on this site reflects what is left in stock, if you don't see it we are no longer stocking it. The remaining stock of 9mm foam has been holding up well, it looks like we still have enough to carry us into the summer of 2018. After it's gone there will be no replacement and DWFoamies will shut down shop.
DWFoamies success over the last 12 years has been largely due to our amazing customer base. We would like to thank you for your support.
"Beveling Depron"
For extreme 3D we suggest 40 degrees on both surfaces. With casual flying all that is needed is 40 degrees on one surface and 10 on the other and it doesn't matter which surface gets the different angles. All of the surfaces are top hinged with Blenderm tape, cut your bevels with a new blade, slide the two halves together and tape Next, fold the surfaces back onto each other and tape the exposed beveled edges on the bottom, this will give you the strongest hinge. Blenderm tape, manufactured by 3M, is the preferred tape for all Depron foamies, it sticks well and holds up to quite a bit of abuse. Our foamies are cut with a high speed router and are sold without beveling. Over the years many customers have requested an option to have the surfaces pre-beveled, making hinging easier. We now offer beveling and taping as an option.
Remember, it is best to bevel before you paint.
"Repairing Dents in Depron"
…when you fly into something that has more mass and/or much harder than your foamie and your plane loses the battle.
Here is a trick that I use… Turn on a household iron or your Monokote iron, at full temp, and with a very damp paper towel folded in quarters, you can steam dents and compression marks out of your foamie. Depron can be heated up to about 200 degrees before it starts getting soft, dents steam out at just under that temp. Try it on a sample and you will be impressed with your results. Doing this multiple times over an area will usually bring it back to its original state. Do all of this before you do any gluing or your results will not be as good. For repairs, I suggest using Gorilla Fast Cure polyurethane glue. It's a foaming glue and works great for filling gaps, it holds up well to flexing and is less money than brittle CA. I only use the Gorilla glue when you can contain it with masking tape, after it dries pull the tape of quickly and it will pull the bleeders off the smooth surface of the Depron foam.
"Warped Depron"
Over the last couple years Depron has been coming in with a slight cup to it. The 3mm and 6mm sheets are workable, but lately the 9mm has more cupping than some customers like. The manufacture pretty much says "Take it or leave it", being that it comes from Germany and there is no other source in the USA, I'm stuck with what I get. Below are a few steps that will allow you to get it flat again.
To flatten the foam we suggest a paint roller, a pie crust roller or a piece of large PVC or cardboard tube. Take a couple large towels and fold them in half to make a nice cushion. Lay the parts out on the towel, with the high point of the warped foam facing up and roll the foam with moderate pressure Take your time and don't try to do it in one pass. It is best to do this technique after you have taped your hinges and before you assemble the kit, if it's completed you can have someone help by holding the wing while rolling the foam. Just be careful around the areas with sharp corners like counterbalances and also with cutouts like servo mounts. You can still work over them but keep off the heavy pressure while rolling over these areas.
Keep in mind that with the tabbed design of construction, the fuselage straightens out quite well when assembled and the wing spar and the taped hinge line removes most of the warped foam.
"Painting your Foamies"
I've used the Krylon Fusion (from Wal-Mart) with good results, but you need to be careful on how you use it. Make sure that you spray light coats, let them tack up and you keep the nozzle about 12-15″ away from the foam.
I have also had great results with the Testers & Model Masters paint from the hobby stores using the same technique.
If you use Krylon H2O, make sure that you spray lightly around the masking, or else it will bleed under. H2O is an environmentally friendly aerosol paint with practically no smell and a short drying time. The paint is meant for wood, metal, plastic, glass, concrete and stone surfaces in addition to covering cellular plastic in indoor and outdoor environments. H20 is both weather and waterproof!
When using any spray paint, use a poster board or heavy paper to make a mask, make sure to save the opposite side to create drop shadows. Use small straight pins at an angle to hold the mask down, the small pin holes will not be visible.
Yes, sharpie markers work great.
"Glue Tips"
Glues vary greatly and there is more than one type of glue that is needed to build your foamie. But mostly, it's the modeler's preference on what type of glue they use and are comfortable with. Notes:
First off, prior to any gluing, make sure that you wipe off the smooth surface of Depron with alcohol to remove any oils on the surface.
Never glue the leading and trailing edge of the wing to the fuse. Use a small amount of glue about 1″ in from the leading and trailing edges, this will allow the fuselage to flex, preventing hard points and cracks to start at the joint.
Here is a list of foam compatible glues:
- Foam Safe CA and Foam Safe Kicker- Works great, used with kicker, dries instantly. Great for field repairs, in case you happen to break something. Usually dries clear, and makes for a great way to keep the plane clean.
- Gorilla Fast Cure- Generally messy, but works fine. Used in small amounts, keeps weight down. We found that it works best on the end grain of the foam, especially in repairing a broken nose or wingtip. Use it only where it can be contained, never at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical fuse. Over time, it turns a dark brown color, which makes the plane seem a bit messy.
- Elmer's Craft glue- This type of glue works fine, but takes hours to dry, usually overnight. Dries clear, making final product very clean. Glue can break easily so use in large amounts.
- Epoxy- 5-minute works, but 15-30 works better. Generally a bit messy, and sometimes dries with a green-ish color. Great for mounting the motor or other high stress sections on the aircraft, such as the wing spar. If you get sloppy, it will clean it up with Denatured Alcohol.
- "Welders" – This is the same as contact cement (in a tube). Apply a thin amount on each surface, let it get tacky then stick the surfaces together. The works great on EPP for, but it will MELT Depron.
- Gorilla Pen Glue (available at Wal-Mart and some Home Depots)- This is another quick setting glue, much like the PL Turbo but takes about 1 hour and it's less expensive. Both of these are sold in small tubes and are referred to as "Pen Glues"
- "Aleene's Craft Glue" (available at Michaels Crafts)- A PVA style glue that can be purchased at craft stores. Similar to white Elmer's Craft Clue, but is thicker. Works great along the sides of the fuse after assembly.
- Hot Glue- Generally is messy, but can dry clear, and makes a nice flexible bond, which holds great. Be careful to not use high temperature hot glue! Don't use in areas where the temperature regularly gets above 80º Fahrenheit (or about 28º Celsius).

Having an outdoor shower with hot water is a little luxury that I love about our garden design. When we were thinking about the design for our outdoor living area and ideas for how we used the garden, including a shower was high on the list. I wanted an outdoor shower design that blended in with the garden, so that even when we weren't using it, it would look great. We started by finding a beautiful copper shower head that was designed to be used in the outdoors. From there, we sourced copper plumbing fittings that matched the copper shower head. I've since discovered that you can actually buy complete outdoor shower kits, which would have made things easier.
Here's how we built our outdoor shower
We worked out where the outdoor shower was going. Key consideration was I love hot showers, so we made sure that our design for the outdoor shower allowed it to be plumbed directly from the hot water system. Having hot water meant that we needed to use a plumber, but we did the design, sourced the shower fittings and did the preparation work ourselves. We also dug the trench from the hot water system to the shower, as well as the drainage pit. For the back of the outdoor shower we used an old railway sleeper concreted into the ground. The rustic look blended in well with the garden.
The plumber came and fitted off the pipes for the outdoor shower. For the floor of our outdoor shower we used a flat rock, in keeping with the rustic design.
My favourite things about our outdoor shower?
- It's like a sprinkler for adults!
- Watching the kids play under it, making leaf boats to sail through the garden.
- Have I mentioned our outdoor shower has hot water? The best! Showering under hot water in amongst the garden is really relaxing. Its almost like being on holidays.
- After a spa or playing on the slip & slide the kids rinse off outside, and get dry without the whole house getting wet.
The garden & outdoor shower both get a lot of use during summer, and it's a perfect way to relax, and enjoy your outdoor space.

Red Alert Politics: "Young Ron Paul supporters express support for Gary Johnson, say Romney, Obama the same"September 17, 2012Posted in Blog, News
By John Rossomando
Mitt Romney is just not going to cut it for many of Ron Paul's devoted legion of young followers.
Most of the Ron Paul supporters approached by Red Alert Politics Friday night at the Liberty Political Action Conference in Chantilly, Va., said they could not see many differences between Romney and President Obama. Their general consensus was that Romney is a weak candidate who has not effectively made his case.
Libertarian candidate Gov. Gary Johnson seemed to be the choice of many. They seemed undeterred by suggestions that a vote for anyone other than Romney equals a vote for Obama as they exited the ballroom where Paul had just finished speaking.
"I'm voting for Gary Johnson because he is a better liberty candidate," an LPAC attendee from Virginia who declined to give his name said. "I think it's worth it long-term to continue to break the cycle of voting for people who aren't pro-liberty."
Sacramento-Calif.-native Kevin Duewel likewise indicated his excitement about voting for Gary Johnson, saying he was impressed by Johnson's call during a side event at the Republican National Convention to "vote Libertarian just this once."
Duewel seemed dissatisfied with the two-party system and expressed a desire to make the Libertarian Party a viable alternative.
"With all respects to Romney, I don't see Obama as much worse," Duewel said, noting that Obama and Romney are two sides of the same coin in his opinion. "For one, I don't think Romney is going to win anyways.
"The energy in his campaign has alienated the Ron Paul folks, which means that I don't think he's going to have the momentum or the agility to be able to pull anything off later in this campaign season now that he's behind in the polls."
Another attendee from Baltimore, Md. who simply identified himself as Alex said he plans on voting for Gary Johnson because Obama and Romney are "pretty much the same person" in his view.
"I think Romney is very similar to Obama," he said. "And I think Romney may even expand the wars even further than Obama; he seems very eager to bomb Iran, go into Syria and takedown the terrorists.
"It's something that I'm not ready to stand for."
While attendee Kyle Wagner said he plans on writing in Ron Paul as a tribute for his dedication in the race.
"It's on principle," Wagner said. "I don't like the mainstream candidates.
"If Mitt Romney does not win. It's his problem because he's not been that attractive of a candidate."
The general consensus, even among those supporting Romney, was that they were doing so reluctantly.
"The way we have it today is that we have a two-party system, and I look forward to working with the Republican Party and taking over the Republican Party for liberty from within," Romney voter Jessie Markell said, noting his reluctance in voting for the GOP nominee.

IATE Term of the Week: Ecodesign
October 27, 2017 11:00 am
Ecodesign: this is a term which recalls many meanings, from interior design to environmental engineering. In English, our IATE database refers to it as the "reduction of environmental impacts throughout entire life cycles by improved product design". In 2016, the European Commission has established a precise framework for improving the energy efficiency of products, in order to make the Union save more energy and have the production of domestic items under control.
Always attentive to our planet and its resources, this week we chose to give focus to ecodesign and to select it for our Term of the Week.
The requirements of the ecodesign framework directive are complemented by the new energy labelling rules, the A to G class label which accompanies every domestic tool, and that are applied to buildings too.
The EU legislation on ecodesign and energy labelling improves the energy efficiency of products. With this initiative, consumers are able to find in shops the products of their everyday life (like kettles, boilers, coffee machines, TVs, washing machines) with the certainty that their performance is as good as always, but with less energy consumption. Energy labels are, therefore, a useful help and a precious guide during the purchase.
A curious fact about the ecodesign policy are numbers: since their establishment until 2020, the first measures will have helped to save around 12% of the electricity that the EU consumed in 2009. More measures are being planned: their implementation will make Europe's consumers save around €490 per year on their energy bills, and generate revenues of €55 billion for industry. As a matter of fact, new energy labels are not only good for the environment, but they boost industrial production too: industries and producers are encouraged to create more eco-friendly electrical appliances, benefitting both the planet and the commerce.
Ecodesign is widely covered in IATE, where corresponding terms can be found in 23 different languages:

School Calendar - Where do we stand?
Post date: Feb 18, 2016 5:55:56 PM
With the last few weeks of inclement weather, we wanted to provide an update as to where we currently stand on the Yancey County Schools Calendar.
Thursday, February 18, 2016, is day 107 of our 180 day school year – which is actually a little bit better than where we were this time last year. Here in Yancey County Schools, we calculate our school year on the number of instructional hours (1,025) with a 180 day calendar vs. the other option allowed by the state which is a flat 185 day calendar.
A couple of years ago, YCS extended our instructional day by a few minutes which gives us an overage or a "bank" of time in addition to the 1,025 hours. Each time we have a 2 or 3 hour delay, those hours are deducted from this bank of time. With the recent weather and loss of student days, YCS has used all Annual Leave Days and Teacher Workdays originally built into the school calendar. For the remainder of the school year, any days missed will be No Days.
Currently, our last day of school for students is Friday, June 10, 2016 and the final day for teachers/assistants is Monday, June 13, 2016. With using No Days and Bank Time, Dr. Tipton does hope to avoid Saturday School or having to use Spring Break days. But keep in mind, Spring is still several weeks away and if we experience another week or more of lost school days, this plan will have to be reassessed at that time.
We appreciate the patience and understanding of our parents and the community as we continue to work through this school year. It is our goal to keep everyone as updated as possible as we move forward in our school calendar.

On 24 October 2017, the equipment was officially presented to the hospital in the presence of the province's authorities, the hospital managers and the Polish Ambassador to Vietnam Barbara Szymanowska.
The hospital is situated in Vinh, the capital city of Vietnam's central Nghe An Province. It was rebuilt in the 1980s from the Polish government's funds and is locally known as the Polish hospital. It is now the largest medical centre in north-central Vietnam, also treating patients from neighbouring provinces, and from Laos. The maternity ward welcomes over 11,000 births a year.
The new medical equipment for the hospital is co-funded by the Polish MFA's development cooperation programme.

The Daily Dalia for 6.15
I was asked by a SEH resident how I would train a toddler to not wet their bed at night…with my children I did it the first day they were trained, I never did the diaper at night and I had success. What I would do is first is not to give them much to drink right before bedtime and made sure they go to the bathroom right before falling asleep. Then, I would THROW CAUTION TO THE WIND…put a rubber sheet on the bed (just in case)! I would have to think if a child is wearing a diaper at night they will not make an attempt to go to the bathroom if they need to in the night…they will just start a lazy habit. And talk to your child, tell them what you expect them to do if they need to go. Or wait, could it be the parent possibly being lazy??
Let me always remind you I am not a doctor but I have heard that unless there is a medical condition a 3 year old (almost 4) should be able to make it through the night dry.
Try it, be patient, don't yell if they wet the bed and be consistent. If this does not work I would talk to your pediatrician. GOOD LUCK

Published at Friday, March 29th, 2019 - 19:51:40 PM. Storage Cabinet. By Nicolette Leger.
Cabinets come in a standard size which is typically 36"wide by 72" in height and 18" in depth. Various sizes that are larger and smaller can also be found depending on your needs. Depths will rarely go beyond 24" while widths usually top out at 48"…however there are a few cabinet manufacturers that go up to 60" in width. If looking for a smaller cabinet, you can find a variety at 42" or counter height size… but going smaller than that will be difficult.
Ranging from house ware to industrial to modern office space, there are cabinets to suit almost every need. Most of these metal storage cabinets are flexible to assemble and carry from one place to another as most of them are foldable that can be dismantle easily.

Feedback wanted for Adobe Revel (formerly Carousel)
From PM Sumner Paine:
Calling all active and enthusiastic Revel users!
The team at Adobe is looking for people to join our prerelease program. We're working on new features and we need your feedback and help with testing.
If you are a Revel subscriber and you have it on all three device types (iPad, iPhone, Mac) just send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with a brief explanation covering 4 things:
- Your favorite thing about Revel
- The most important thing that's missing from Revel today
- List of devices where you have Revel installed (e.g., MacBook Air, iPhone 4, etc.)
- Names of other photo apps you use on your desktop computer, if any
There's limited space in the prerelease program so we can't accept everyone who applies, but we look forward to your submissions.
Sumner Paine, product manager
Just a question if I may, but could you tell me the reasoning behind a contract-based price (monthly fee of $5.99) instead of a fixed price per app-download?
For some reason, paying a monthly fee feels like you're also automatically stuck with it. Besides the fact that in the long run, it'll turn into a huge amount of money right?
Not trying to flame the product at all here, but somehow programs that are attached to a monthly fee somehow feel as if we'd pay more to get less (in the long run). Incremental updates of apps/programs have always been available for free for buyers of software, so I personally can't really see the benefit for the users compared to a fixed "buy v1, get 1.x updates" price :)
Joram, in addition to a program, Revel is also a hosting service. Do you pay your phone bill once for all?
Hi Joram,
Revel is meant to be installed on multiple computers and devices. In that sense, it's similar to offerings like Evernote that have client apps for computers, phones, and tablets, that are powered by the cloud, and that keep your content up to date no matter which instance of the app you're using.
With Revel your photos are stored on Adobe servers and accessed by all the different devices and computers where you have the app. Import new photos, edit photos, delete photos, etc. and everything is automatically sync'd. A unique benefit is that there are no limits on the number of photos or size of photos and no storage caps.
-Sumner Paine, product manager
Ahh, thanks for the clarification :)
Guess I didn't read into it well enough! I thought it used your local storage to store the images, and then stream it directly to your other devices. So in a sense completely ignore any "dropbox"-like hosting services but simply stream directly from device to device.
Anyway, thanks again! :)
John, any updates on the Android version of this?
Don't see the need to pay adobe for something I get for free with my iOS devices. Given Adobe's so far poor performance with getting their apps out for both iOS and Android I find myself less and less interested in what Adobe has to say.
Could it be that Adobe is loosing it status in the graphics industry? Seems that way. I think we will know the answer to this when Adobe releases CS6. That will tell me at least.
Hmm, I do agree that there are free alternatives. Dropbox combined with free or fixed-price apps come a long way. But in the end I think it depends on what Revel has to offer as a whole. If it's a seemless experience, with excellent performance and ease of use, and with enough bells and whistles to keep things interesting, the price could actually be very valid.
But for people who just want a simple "one-click-experience", some of the free or fixed prive alternatives might be a better choice. It's the same reason why some people choose to use Photoshop and others choose iPhoto for their foto adjustments I guess :)

Gate was a show that I totally ignored when it first came out because of one simple, but very stupid and very judgmental reason: There's one guy and a bunch of girls in the poster…
Yes, yes I know. Never judge a book by it's cover, don't be a dick and always learn to look both ways before crossing the road. But in my defense other shows that have the same male to female ratio in their cover tend to… you know? Not be good.
So I figured why waste my time with Gate? Surely it was going to be yet another moe moe ecchi harem type show like those other time wast-, err… I mean those other shows that were made to sell body pillows and figmas.
But something happened…
I finished watching Man in The High Castle (great show by the way) and was now out of shows to watch, anime or otherwise. And seeing as Gate is going to have a second season this week, I figured "why not? If it sucks at least I could review it and warn others about it."
Thankfully it didn't suck. Now it's definitely not a MUST WATCH type show, at least for me, but it was definitely worthwhile and I'm actually interested in seeing the second season. In fact, even though I wasn't too enthralled with the show, others might actually love it.
Nothing to see here.
The story of Gate is simple. A portal opens up in the middle of a Japanese city and out from it comes a bunch of fantasy monsters and men in knightly armor. They kill people, police show up, the fantasy invaders get killed and the government sends the Jieitai (Japan's Self-Defense Force) through the portal into a world simply known as the "Special Region". While on the other side, the Jieitai is to set up a base of operations, investigate the Special Region and make contact with the local populace.
What follows is one big circle jerk, stroking the ego of Japa-er, I mean what follows is an entertaining show about Japan's finest being heroes and doing a lot of good and ass kicking. In all seriousness I didn't actually mind the show's patriotism. I found it endearing. And I thought that it was nice to see America as a villainous force for once, because though there's fantasy monsters and what not to worry about, the show doesn't forget the possible political maelstrom that would stir at the sudden discovery of a new world with yet to be discovered (and claimed) resources and powers. My only problem with that is that all the non-Japanese countries (America, China and Russia) are portrayed as being greedy villains with little to no depth… which just makes the patriotism a tad bit disturbing. Similar to how brown people tend are typically made into evil sand devils lacking in personality in some American media.
The show displays an attempt at fleshing out the kingdoms of the Special Region, so why not make non-Japanese countries just as complex? It's almost as bad as a Transformers movie in that part (and only in that part, because the show's actually pretty good).
But I guess that's not really the focus of the show. The focus is, after all, the Special Region, its people and how they interact with the Jieitai; which we see through the eyes of Gate's protagonist: Youji Itami.
When we first meet Youji he's portrayed as being an otaku that prioritizes his nerdy hobbies over work and adult responsibilities, but as soon as the action kicks in we see our 33-year-old protagonist acting in a very non-otaku like manner. He's putting himself in danger to save people, he's giving orders to police officers and he's fighting against the fantasy invaders. Right now I don't really have any complaints about this sequence since the show does explain why he's very skilled and can just give orders around like that later on. But watching it at first I was a little bothered by how the show doesn't tell us more about his character. And I know, I know, show don't tell. But it did feel like the show was forgetting to tell me stuff about Youji rather than purposefully keeping secrets from me. A minor complaint, but it was there and it probably won't bother most other people, because Youji Itami is a likable dude anyway.
Besides him there's the other Jieitai members that become a part of his squad. We don't really get to know all of them all too well, but the show does make an effort in providing at least half of them personalities. Outside of Youji's squad there were a handful of other Japanese characters (Jieitai, government official and civilian) that either help to progress the plot along and flesh out characters without becoming plot devices with absolutely zero personality. And that's part of what I appreciate about Gate, minor side characters might have been minor, but at least they weren't completely boring and lacking of personality. For the most part at least. Were they good and depthful characters? Naw. Not really. But they didn't really take up too much of our time so it's okay.
The characters that did get a lot of screen time besides Youji were the three main ladies on the poster (plus Princess Pina Colada… it's okay to laugh). The three main girls of Gate are Tuka, Lelei and Rory. Tuka is an elf girl whose village was razed by a fire dragon, she's suffering from PTSD because her father was killed. Lelei is a mage in training and is eager to learn about the world beyond the gate and about Japan. Rory, despite looking like the youngest of the three, is actually a 900 year old demigod who serves as a priestess of sorts for the God of death, or war… I don't actually remember but when people die around her, their souls pass through her body and she gets very aroused… which leads to a number of scenes teeming with sexual tension… Yeah.
I really want to say that there's more to these girl's characters other than being your typical harem ladies, but though they do have pretty entertaining personalities they just don't have anything else going for them. Tuka doesn't do much except for be an elf. Lelei serves as a translator between the Jieitai and the people of the Special Region but other than that she and Tuka don't really do much except use a few helpful spells, but even that felt lacking. Rory had some pretty cool moments but other than her cool fights and sexual tension with Youji there's not a lot to her character. But if you're a fan of cool fight scenes you might like her and you might even think that she's a great character… You might not notice how uninteresting she really is, but your brain will.
And as funny as her name is, I actually find Princess Pina's character to be the best out of all the female ones because she's actually a character with fears and goals. Tuka's suffering from PTSD sure, and that's probably going to play in later on in the series but as of right now it's just there to be there. She, and the other two girls, just don't have any real goals other than to be cute and try to get in bed with Youji Itami.
Pina has real goals. She wants peace between her people and the Jieitai. She's the daughter of the emperor but born to a concubine and has plenty to prove to the world and herself. Really, she has the most depth out of every character except for Youji and I'm glad that she didn't ended up as just another loli harem character because you know that she could have easily been one. And if she does end up being infatuated with Youji, I wouldn't mind it so long as she doesn't lose her personality.
Basically what I'm complaining about here is that I wanted more from the three girls, not just screen-time but also something from them that'll actually draw me in and make me care about them. Only reason I care about Tuka is because she's worried about her dad, but even then that still felt like it was lacking. I want more damn it!
Oh well, at least the show does have plenty of epic moments like this one:
I'm sure, or at least I'm hoping, that the second season is going to be better. I still want the action and I still want to see more conflict between the Jieitai/Japan, the kingdoms of the Special Region and the world governments. But most of all I'm hoping that the next season gives us some interesting character moments because that could have really improved this show a lot. Not saying that it's bad because I am going to recommend it to people.
For which people? Well, I think this is a pretty good anime for the typical anime fan who likes good action, decent story and cute ladies. And if you like fantasy and military stuff then this is definitely a show for you. Obviously a purely shoujo anime type then this show might not be for you. And if you're looking for overt sexual stuff, go watch porn instead you fuck. The show might be a harem with a good amount of sexual overtones and tension, but it doesn't ever go To-Love Ru levels of lewdness.
Thank God.
I would be disappointed if the next season didn't have more Youji and Pina though.

Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1 was launched ahead of the Note II bringing the stylus to the tablet. You can check out our unboxing and make sure to stay tuned for the upcoming review but if you already have a Note 10.1 running Ice Cream Sandwich out-of-the-box you might be interested in a Jelly Bean OTA leak.
A couple of notes: it is not yet available to download over-the-air (or by KIES) but if you decide to give it a go from the source link below you'll have to know that it will only work on model numbers GT-N8000. Also, this is a test ROM so expect some glitches; however, if you want to give it a go follow the source link below and check out the rather extensive instructions on how to flash (insert warning here). Else, just sit back and wait for the refresh to hit your device the official way; should be coming soon!

OK, so on a recent pair of trips out to New England from the Midwest and back I can safely say:
1. Batavia, New York: Skip the Applebees; it's way too loud with watered-down drinks, mediocre food and sketchy service.
2. Providence, RI: Nami's on Atwell's Avenue is still a great place for terrific Chinese food.
3. Warren, RI: Metacom Kitchen has a pretty mean burger and a great wine list. Oh, and their fish is superb.
4. Brantford, Ontario, Canada: Gus and Guido's is just OK. Touted as a "Greek Italian Food Experience," it was a bit on the noisy side and the wines were lame but the food was not bad. The service was very friendly, though.

Can you believe April is already over?
My Aerobic April challenge went fairly well! Just look at all those X's!
When I missed a day, I used the following Saturday to make up the lost exercise session. I did it almost flawlessly, up until the last week when my parents visited. I even lost one pound (not much, but progress is progress).
Because I normally exercise in our guest bedroom, I didn't have a lot of space to work with when my parents and sisters had to temporarily put all their stuff in that room. I ended up putting my exercise schedule on hold in favor of spending more time with my family. It was awesome having them around and getting to relax, but it also made me realize how easily I can make excuses to avoid exercising. Unless I have a way of keeping track of my progress, I'd just as soon stay on the couch and read all day.
However, my older brother's wedding is at the end of this month. While I feel comfortable with the way I look in my new dress, I think it'd be awesome if I could trim off a few pounds before partying it up. It's not for aesthetics; it's more for energy. I've felt so sluggish lately, and I think it's because I've been heavier than I've ever been in my life. If I could lose the extra weight, then I'll have more energy for dancing and socializing and having fun in general. Having a deadline should add a little more motivation for keeping my exercise routine, too.
Here's my new exercise plan for May.
Like my plan for April, I'm relying heavily on my Spark People Bootcamp DVD and my Couch to 5K jogging program. During April, my husband's schedule was such that I only got to see him on some nights right after work, so I didn't go outside to run at all. Instead, I biked to the same program, but I don't think I pushed myself as hard as I could have if I were running.
Also, April had a lot of cardio, which is great since I was aiming to move more. But, it's time to buckle down and lift some weights; strength training is the best way to burn fat, build muscle, and lose weight (sorry, cardio! It's true. There are plenty of studies to prove it).
For my "muscle up" May workout, I'm also adding a 4-Week Bodyweight Home Workout, a 30 day ab challenge, a 30 day pull up challenge, and I'm going to try Jillian Michaels: Yoga Meltdown on Saturdays. I'm not aiming for a perfect run (like I did in April), but I am hoping to challenge myself enough that on the days I do work out that I actually break a sweat (did I mention I hate sweating during exercise? Typically I try to avoid it when I can.)
You're welcome to follow my program. It's not the best by any means, but my schedules have been working for me so far. It might be fun for you too!

Man with mental health problems does bugger all wrong
In what will shock the wider reading audience, it was revealed today that there was a man with mental health issues who did not kill or hurt any one today.
It appears that this is not an isolated case as it is strongly rumoured that one in four people in the U.K. has some kind of mental health problem or will have in their life time.
Could it be that the press has an agenda that is being spurred on by some kind of right wing policy that is designed to sway the public against the vocal minority who caused a massive scene recently over the ASDA Halloween costume fiasco? Could it be that there is some kind of pressure being placed on the media to demonise the mentally interesting so as to discredit the anti-stigma process?
It's one thing for The Sun or The Daily Mail to unleash their bile on a section of society that has little chance to defend themselves and has no trouble in promoting negative stereotypes, but when the story is on the BBC News website I find it almost amazing and am left in disbelief that this can happen. Where are the ethical editorial standards in effect? Why was this story allowed to be posted in the first place?
For an organisation that preaches inclusivity for all and accessibility for all, this is just one more slap in the face from the BBC who will no doubt just take down the story and pretend like it didn't really happen. We'll it did, and I have the proof.
Until Next Time…
This is the headline in question from the BBC Mobile website last night:


text:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has ruled out Social Security cuts in any plan to replace the sequester. In the State of the Union address, President Obama can either stand with Harry Reid and Senate Democrats–or betray them.
Democrats' disagreement over cutting Social Security is finally coming to a head. On Friday, Leader Reid and Senate Democrats drew their line in the sand against cuts to Social Security and cuts to Medicare beneficiaries (not providers). Senator Sherrod Brown told Greg Sargent of the Washington Post that Reid assured the Democratic Caucus that "there would be no cuts to entitlement benefits in the offer." Lest the stance be viewed merely as a bargaining position, Brown insisted that a final deal would not include "benefits cuts."
President Obama, on the other hand, remains willing to offer the chained CPI Social Security cut as part of a Grand Bargain with Republicans. President Obama's spokesman Jay Carney confirmed the President's openness to the chained CPI once again at a press conference on Monday.
Thus on the eve of the State of the Union address, the question is: Will the President take on Leader Reid and Senate Democrats to pass the chained CPI? It is hard to imagine that Senate Democrats will fold immediately after publicly announcing their firm opposition to Social Security cuts.
The State of the Union is a great opportunity to clear the air. If the President feels the need to feign openness to Social Security cuts to outmaneuver Republicans, he should still say the chained CPI is cruel, unfair and inaccurate. He should say how much he opposes it, and that the Republicans will have to force him to give it up if they really want it.
Like many progressives, however, I'm not holding my breath. The President has brought chained CPI back from the dead too many times for him to backpedal now. He is apparently really committed to it as part of a Grand Bargain.
It's a shame though. A fight with Senate Democrats will mean spending a lot of political capital on a really bad policy. After all, the chained CPI is a benefit cut that cuts more every year a person receives benefits, hitting Social Security beneficiaries in late old age the hardest. According to 300 economists and social insurance experts, it is also a less accurate measure of inflation for seniors and people with disabilities who cannot substitute for cheaper goods as easily. Even the centrist Josh Barro of Bloomberg View, and the conservative Andrew Biggs of the American Enterprise Institute, have disavowed it.

Besides, to pass the chained CPI, the President wouldn't just be taking on Senate Democrats and his base: He'd be facing down huge swaths of the American public. The public opposes the chained CPI by a margin of nearly 2-to-1. The interest groups opposing it include not only the AFL-CIO and the AARP, but veterans groups like the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America and the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Nor is the President likely to get much cover from Republicans once the ink is dry. Republicans have figured out how unpopular austerity is and have modified their messaging accordingly. The quintessential example is House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, who can barely speak publicly these days without saying "economic growth." The most specific spending cuts Cantor proposed in his "Making Life Work" policy speech this past week were to social science research. Cantor didn't mention Social Security at all, and his prescriptions for Medicare were extremely vague–a far cry from the Ryan budget.
It is not hard to see Republicans hanging the chained CPI around the President's neck, or even attacking him for it disingenuously as they did with Medicare in 2010.
I will be happy for President Obama to prove me wrong and come out strongly against the chained CPI in the State of the Union address.
For now, though, our last best hope lies with Senate Democrats and Harry Reid. Reid has a populist streak and deep love of Social Security, which he once called the "greatest social program since the fishes and the loaves." He threw a last-minute chained CPI offer into his fireplace during December's fiscal cliff negotiations, and prior to that had signed a letter with 28 other members of the Senate Democratic Caucus insisting that Social Security be kept out of debt talks.
We need to show Senate Democrats we stand with them and will have their back if they stop the chained CPI–in whatever way they can.
Ironically, thanks to Reid, it is still very easy for one senator to stop a bill from coming to the Senate floor for a vote. Getting Democrats to filibuster a bill that included the chained CPI would be unusual, but for once, it might be appropriate.

Hi! I'm Eva. I was born in a small town near Cracow. As I'm a student of English language and tourism in Cracow, that city became my second home. Since I'm also passionate about history and culture I'm more than willing to introduce you to this beautiful city.
Tomek guide in
Hi! My name is Tomek. I was born and raised in a charming mountainous town in Lesser Poland and moved to Kraków for my studies. During this time I fell in love with the city so much that I decided to stay here after my graduation. To feel as a full-fledged inhabitant of Kraków I took part in a course for city guides. This way I obtained a license and now my both passion and job is to show my lovely city to my tourists.
Excellent Tour!
A good idea to do this at the start of your holiday as it will help you orientate yourself with the city.
Our Guide Chris was very informative & was able to answer any questions the group members asked.
This tour covers 500 years plus of Krakow history before the Capital was moved to Warsaw.

We did the walking tour of Krakow in the morning ,Bartek our guide showed us lots of places we wouldn't have gone to on our own.After lunch ,we went back and did the Jewish quater,again with Bartek.Most of the people from the morning walk were on his afternoon walk ! He was so good.The Jewish tour prepared us for our trip to Auschwitz the following day .Especially as he left us at 'The Chairs 'which was were they set off from.If you are in krakow for only a limited time,then these tours are a must.
Very informative. Passionate guide!
Went on a solo trip and saw a free tour guide with a sign to Jewish Quarter, tour guide bent over backwards for us and could tell really is his passion. Bartek, thankyou so much and hope everyone else is lucky enough to have him guide you too!
Don't just take our word for it though, our company is THE HIGHEST rated on TripAdvisor! Among free walking tour companies in Krakow.

South America Calling
Brazil to See Wheat Planting Rise
Brazilian farmers have just started to plant their wheat crop, hoping there will be no repeat of last year's heavy frost and rain damage.
A mixture of strong local wheat prices and weak prices for corn, the main winter crop alternative, will lead to a jump in planting.
The southern state of Parana, Brazil's biggest wheat producer, will plant an extra 23% of wheat in 2014, taking area to 3.0 million acres, according to the state agricultural secretariat.
Meanwhile, neighboring Rio Grande do Sul, the No. 2 state, will plant an extra 10%, taking area to 2.7 million acres, according to state estimates.
Together, these two states account for approximately 90% of all wheat planting.
In 2013, Brazil produced just 4.4 million metric tons. The Agriculture Ministry estimates that number will jump 26% to 5.5 mmt in the 2014 season, which has just got underway.
Considering that demand will be around 11.3 mmt, imports will total 6.5 mmt, says the Brazilian government. That's down from 7.0 mmt last year.
Argentina, Brazil's traditional wheat supplier, will likely increase planted area by 10% this year.
Brazil is currently importing from Argentina but the neighbor has become such an irregular supplier of late that it is likely Brazil will import a lot of North American wheat once again this year.
In 2013, Brazil imported approximately 3.5 mmt of U.S. wheat compared with 2.5 mmt of Argentine wheat.
Wheat millers are already lobbying to have the 10% import tariff on North American wheat suspended again in 2014.

By Edd Conboy
January 26, 2011
For darn near as long as I can remember there has been a meme afoot (do memes have feet?) about the global village, how small the world is, how flat the earth is becoming, and so forth. More recently, a contravening force, or at least an alternative view, has been emerging that seems also to be in a kind of creative tension with this world view – creating sustainable neighborhoods. I suppose it is in some ways a kind of implementation of the "think globally; act locally" bumper dictum seen on just about every Prius on the road. (It may well be that this bumper sticker is standard equipment for every hybrid coming off the assembly line!)
Two strong and focused voices are powerfully engaged in this neighborly conversation – Bill McKibben of 350.org, who speaks and writes convincingly about how our reliance on fossil fuels has created a false premise about, and unsustainable infrastructure for, this global village. And Peter Block – shifting his organizational development lens in the direction of community organizing – looks at concrete conversations we might have with our neighbors to respond to the fragmented neighborhoods in our cities, and isolated small towns across the country.
Block is advocating for an inversion of common wisdom – about what it means to be a citizen, a leader, and a member of any group invested in change. In his recent book, Community, The Structure of Belonging, he articulates the notion of an "inversion of cause", which is a compelling one: To create communities where citizens reclaim their power, we need to shift our beliefs about who is in charge and where power resides. We need to invert our thinking about what is cause and what is effect. This is what has the capacity to confront our entitlement and dependency. [pp 65-66]
As he articulates the implications of how these inversions impact leaders, community members, dissenters and owners, Peter also fleshes out a series of conversations and inquiries that serve to deepen the possibilities for sustainable community. With his book, Community, The Structure of Belonging – a must read for those of us who believe deeply in the transformative quality of deep dialogue – Peter addresses the one question we often skirt in our more theoretical conversations and dialogues about community: How do we get there?
While Bill McKibben's scientific and empirical world view that addresses environmental issues in general and air quality in particular is at times less accessible for me, he does possess the one quality common to every true genius – the capacity to make complex issues simple and clear without over-generalizing to the point of simplemindedness. His proposition that our atmosphere can tolerate a CO2 level of 350 parts per million (ppm) is straightforward enough. The fact that the current level is 388 ppm is alarming. The realization that, until very recently, we humans got along nicely with the rest of nature at a level of 275 ppm of CO2 is revealing.
Where McKibben's work aligns nicely with Block's is embedded in his descriptions of "neighbors" and "joiners". In his article, Where Have All the Joiners Gone?, McKibben writes, "…cheap fossil fuel has made us the first people on Earth with no need of our neighbors. Think, in the course of an ordinary day, how often you rely on the people who live near you for anything of practical value. Perhaps carpooling your kids to school or soccer. If you live in a rural community, there may be a volunteer fire department, which keeps your insurance affordable. But your food, your fuel, your shelter, your clothes, and your entertainment most likely come from a distance and arrive anonymously at that." For him the fact that our oceans are warming, and our ice caps are melting mean (among other things) that we will soon need to develop a modern sense of neighborliness, a new appreciation of locality that is practical as well as a congruent way of living.
"Take farming..." McKibben says, "The local food movement is helping to build demand for small farms. If it continues, we may someday reach the point where we once again have more farmers than prisoners in America—which will be a good thing, if we're hoping to grow our food with less oil. But if that's going to happen, it will take more than farmers' markets—it will take farming communities, with enough small growers in the neighborhood to teach each other what needs doing."
So, as we develop even more sophisticated technological networks that connect us to people and places throughout the world, we may also need to become even more "radically local", and less dependent on unsustainable energy sources.
These visionaries are two of the many cartographers mapping that possible future.
Hopefully by the next time I have the opportunity to post here I will have finished Peter's latest book, The Abundant Community: Awakening the Power of Families and Neighborhoods, that he has written with John McKnight. Looks like another important one!
Also, check out Peter's blog at The Huffington Post.
Other books on my nightstand:
Operation Mincemeat by Ben MacIntyre – a World War II yarn about "a man who never was". It's about a British counterintelligence program to confuse the German High Command. (Among any number of interesting characters was one Ian Fleming of James Bond fame.) A great read in itself, but also a cautionary tale about the power of preconceptions in how we determine what is so, and likely to be – a TWI staple theme!
A Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrick – an immensely interesting novel about the loneliness and desolation of a Wisconsin winter, and the smoldering desire that lurks just below that icy veneer of its main characters. The Washington Post reviewer says: "A Reliable Wife," isn't just hot, it's in heat: a gothic tale of such smoldering desire it should be read in a cold shower. This is a bodice ripper of a hundred thousand pearly buttons, ripped off one at a time with agonizing restraint..." Don't say you weren't warned.
