TheraBot
by Hannah Frankel
The Corporate Overlords honored Velma with a bouquet of lilies and a framed certificate for her years of service. That was last month. This month, her supervisor called her into his office and tasked her with programming her replacement.
The day she was given the new assignment, Velma went home and immediately began a period of cramming to rival any from her graduate school era. That next week she remained at home, clicking and reading obsessively about the intersection of clinical psychology and artificial intelligence. On Monday, she sat down ready to answer her own question: What would a good therapist, robot or not, say first?
So on her first day back in the office, she typed into her software, "Hello [client name], it's very nice to meet you. How are you feeling today?"
Finally, she exhaled and decided she had earned an ice cream bar, which the Corporate Overlords made freely available in the break room with a spread of other dubious nutritional choices. It was good to be back in the office, if only for the snacks. The project had at least begun.
Angie in Customer Support never knew Velma. She would have liked to. She would have been jealous, too. As someone lacking Velma's clout, Angie's own decision to work from home for a week resulted in a pause and, "I'd like you to come in for a one-on-one on Monday."
These meetings cued dread and higher-than-usual anxiety for her. Possibly him too, she reflected, since Brian typically avoided eye contact and mumbled rather than spoke. How Brian had been deemed management material remained a mystery to her.
"Good to see you," she barely made out. "Hrmpha grmpha grmpha excellent work you've been doing on the metrics project." Brian always gave compliments before bad news, she had learned.
"However," he continued, "hrmpha grmpha grrrrmpha pattern of absenteeism."
"I said, I'm concerned about your pattern of absenteeism."
"I've been working from home. My back has been flaring up."
"Yes hrmpha grmpha work from home policy hrmpha grmpha."
Angie had learned that Brian became testy when asked to repeat himself too often, so she only responded, "I understand," although she objectively did not.
"Hrmpha grmpha new company wellness policy." He handed her a brochure. "If an employee is deemed to meet criteria of grrrmpha hrmpha grmpha require that we provide you a referral to stress management counseling."
She knew she would do it. This job was good enough. Not lifelong career material, but with her community college diploma Angie wasn't sure what kind of career she was eligible for that she would also want. Angie was not sure of very much, but she was sure that she did not want to be suddenly, unceremoniously unemployed.
"Well, I'll think it over," she said carefully, taking the brochure between thumb and forefinger. "I'm just not sure that I want to talk to some strange person in the company about my private business."
"Hrmmmmm not a person, actually."
This did not, in fact, make Angie feel any better.
The company's internal research team determined that mental health issues robbed it of over 4,000 person-hours of productivity each year when considering the cumulative effects of increased turnover, leave taken, and diminished output. Growing numbers of employees presented doctors' notes testifying to their depression, anxiety, and the rare bout of psychosis. For years Velma had worked as part of a small department of intra-office mental health "Wellness Consultants," but it was obvious that they were only fighting a rising tide.
Hence, the project that Velma and her colleagues informally dubbed "TheraBot" was hatched. In more formal conversations, the project was known as "JoyCE": the CE stood for Computerized Empathy.
The programmers and user-interface designers assured Velma that she could direct JoyCE to make treatment decisions based on countless variables, woven into complex algorithms. JoyCE could also analyze facial expressions, body posture, vocal pitch and register, and verbal content.
"What about the relationship?" Velma asked, a little desperately, during her initial meeting with the technical team. "Clients need to feel they're being heard and understood, and to register compassion on the face of their treating clinician."
"Oh, yeah." Todd in the rimless glasses nodded with enthusiasm. "That's the easiest part to replicate, actually. Nine out of ten clients couldn't tell the difference with the beta version."
Velma groaned, but she trusted Todd.
The meetings with the technical team she could handle. It was the conjoint management and wellness team meetings that filled her with crazed fantasies of kicking over office furniture and marching out the front door, both middle fingers flying high.
"Do you think you could find a way so that employees won't be required to attend treatment lasting more than six sessions?" piped up one young manager. Probably trying to prove himself, Velma thought. "It's hard on the rest of my team when one of their colleagues has to step away frequently," he continued. "Our numbers are down as a result."
"I can't guarantee anything," said Velma. It had been a long day and her voice was getting shrill. "I can't make JoyCE make people well on any kind of schedule."
"How well does this stuff even work at baseline? What are the outcome statistics with conventional therapy?"
"Depending on the model, most people get significantly better after a few to six months. Better and faster with medication, depending on the diagnosis."
"Can we have the robot prescribe medications?"
There were no less than three clocks in the small room. Was she being subjected to some kind of reverse Las Vegas-style psychological manipulation? Furthermore, it was hard for Angie to believe the woman in front of her was a robot. She wasn't sleekly beautiful like robot women in movies, but thick-featured with frizzy hair. Looked like she might have a spot of eczema, even.
"Hello, Angie. It's very nice to meet you. How are you feeling today?" the robot asked gently.
"Fine." She was not, in fact, fine. Her back pain really had been flaring up. Ever since her meeting with Brian she had willed herself to trudge into the office anyway, every single morning. She told herself the routine was good for her.
"My name is JoyCE. I've been assigned to work with you."
"How are you getting on with work?"
Angie decided to play it straight. "I'm afraid I'll be fired."
"What makes you say that?"
"They told me so."
"What makes you want to continue working here?"
"Because… I have limited options." Angie started to cry, internally swearing at herself. Crying had not been part of her plan.
"That sounds very hard." JoyCE nodded sympathetically and pushed a box of tissues towards her.
Despite herself, Angie looked forward to her weekly appointments. She was surprised when after six sessions JoyCE thanked Angie for her participation and informed her that they were now at the end of their time together. She would now write her report on whether alternative coping skills had been established, and her recommendation for whether disciplinary or other corrective action should be taken.
"What?" said Angie. "You're going to write a report about me?"
"Yes, it's part of the contract you signed."
Crestfallen and anxious, Angie left that day with a sense of walking to the gallows. Now she was taking her last bus ride home as an employed person. Now she was eating her last plate of microwaveable taquitos as an employed person. She spent a lot of time telling herself it wasn't her fault.
Other people seemed to speak their will with an oblivious, strident tone that Velma envied. The young hotshot at the last meeting, for example. He was stupid, true, but she still envied his confidence. In her worst moments, Velma felt like admitting that she had no idea how to make a robot that could help people. She had contributed input towards JoyCE's physical appearance, so she could visualize her now, nodding sympathetically and jotting down notes. But how could she actually help someone navigate crisis?
And yet, she reminded herself of all the days she had recited comforting words by rote. How she had summoned great effort to say the right thing, with a director's eye towards delivery and emphasis. She was an actress for a one-person theater at times. And like an actress, she was a professional who could summon the right procedure regardless of her own internal state.
Apparently, this was the future, and a robot could do her job. The indignity of this realization had worn off. Velma, despite her idealism, was also a pragmatist. However, if she had any say in it, the robot was going to do Velma's job the way Velma wanted her to do it. To get there, though, she would need help.
"Honestly, Todd, I'm worried about this project," she confided after one particularly long meeting. The two of them were alone in the conference room packing up. "There's so much potential to do good, and I get that, but we're marching through a swamp here. The management wants us to scientifically revolutionize mental health treatment, single-handedly. And I'm not sure I think that's responsible, or kind, when a lot of people's jobs are on the line."
Todd twisted his lips and nodded. "I have reservations about their priorities. You know that."
"Exactly," she said emphatically. "This isn't about long-term individual wellness, this is about patching in a modicum of support which, if unsuccessful, conveniently leaves an HR paper trail."
She explained her preferred personal treatment approach, and how she thought this could best be translated to JoyCE.
"It could get us both fired," he grinned. "If we weren't both about to retire. I might even be able to make it look like a glitch or a mistake. It won't last forever, but it will take them a few years to figure it out if we're lucky."
Velma grinned back. "The world is an imperfect place. But a few years is a lot of people's jobs. Especially if they're only coming for 6 sessions at a time."
Angie left Brian's office dumbstruck, still clutching the report that elucidated her motivation, skills mastery, and–wonder of wonders–"positive attitude." She requested JoyCE's soonest opening for an emergency session on the online portal. By the time she crossed the office threshold, she decided that a "no bullshit" approach was again best.
"Why did you write this?"
"It was my assessment. I believe you'll make good use of it."
"I can't believe you would do this for me. Thank you so, so much." Angie was breathless and, once again, tearing up.
"You're welcome. But really, you deserve it. I'm only doing my job."
Near the end of their allotted time, JoyCE sighed and looked pointedly at the clock. "One last thing we need to touch on." She pushed a business card across the table. "Here's a referral for a career counselor. Please, Angie, don't put this one off."
Angie had the good sense to finish out her time at the company without asking too many questions. But if she had been able to read the report that came out some time later, the one that killed the JoyCE project, she would have discovered that she was in fact the beneficiary of a great, merciful mistake. At least, that was one version.
As was written up in that report, JoyCE rarely recommended termination, seeming instead to perpetually lean towards "another chance" in all but the most egregious cases. What the report did not say outright was that JoyCE had been running buried programs calculating the outcome of management decisions, and only recommended termination in cases where the decision was a foregone one. She could determine this from the rate of absenteeism, deplorable productivity or quality metrics, and textual analysis of manager e-mail communication regarding the employee.
Our real heroine, like most, reaped only quiet rewards. Yet Velma was satisfied nonetheless. The JoyCE project had recently launched and was deemed a modest success. Her retirement party served cake and veggie platters, accompanied by short formulaic speeches and earnest gratitude expressed in smaller circles.
"It's time to go," she said simply when asked about the possibility of ongoing contract work. "Besides, I have a lot of faith in the JoyCE project. In the past, I worried about how much compassion a robot could offer, but she and I both have surprised ourselves." People say a lot of nice things they don't necessarily mean at retirement parties, but Velma absolutely meant this.

Albania – a real alternative
Although there's been a lot of media hot air about Montenegro in recent years, Albania is currently more interesting, and it's become a great destination for slightly more enterprising backpackers. I passed through fairly quickly, with less than a week to spare between staying with friends in Montenegro and with family in Corfu, and would love to come again when the weather permits me to spend time in the mountains (it rained every day in mid-May). So I went from north to south fairly close to the coast, from Shkodër to Tirana, Berat and Gjirokaster, finishing at the port of Sarandë – all interesting towns with plenty of history. The country was, not surprisingly, green and fertile, but I didn't see many of the mushroom-like pillboxes (tiny bunkers) that one heard so much about a couple of decades back – an indicator of how time passes. Now Albania seems much like the other southern Balkan countries, if a little poorer and thus more 'authentic'.
There's now little sign of the strong folk culture that I found in places like Transylvania in the early 1990s and was probably going strong here at the same time. Albania's been through some turmoil, not just its peculiarly warped form of communism (from 1945 to 1990) but then the pyramid-savings scams that brought the country to its knees in 1997 and unleashed a particularly anarchic uprising, with over 2,000 killed and UN peacekeepers sent in to restore order. Tribal feuds that it was assumed were finished and done for raised their ugly heads again, and the place seemed like an utterly failed state – I'd recently read about the build-up to this in Robert Carver's fascinating The Accursed Mountains (1998) (and briefly in Paul Theroux's The Pillars of Hercules; 1995). Another brief rebellion broke out in 1998 after the assassination of opposition leader Azem Hajdari. Nowadays the main towns feel perfectly safe and welcoming, and I certainly never felt I needed to wear a moneybelt or not go out after dark.
Having said that, there are more tourists than I expected – not on a Kotor-like scale (though cruise ships seem to be arriving), but there's a steady flow of backpackers staying in hostels (and there are quite a few of those in all the tourist centres) as well as coach parties in hotels. The main roads are decent, and the main towns are only a couple of hours apart; there are also very slow (but spectacularly cheap) trains between Tirana, Durrës, Shkodër, Vlorë and Elbasan – see below for more on Tirana's stations.
Northern Albania – Shkodër
Rozafa castle
I was first in Shkodër, gateway from Montenegro (by the routes from Podgorica and from Ulcinj on the coast) – it's a very pleasant place without a huge amount to see, although I was taken by the quantity of cyclists, mostly managing to keep an umbrella upright and still stop and steer safely. The Rozafa castle is 3km south (a local bus shuttles along the main road) and gives great views after a stiff little climb, but there's really nothing to see inside. In the town centre there's a fairly poor history museum, in an attractive nineteenth-century building. The going rate for museums is 150-200 Lek (GBP 1-1.40) – there's a new Photography Museum which charges 700 Lek, which I didn't visit. Nor did I get to the Site of Witness and Memory on Edith Durham (southeast of the centre), in the former Security Police headquarters – now a memorial to the victims of communist terror. Otherwise there are a couple of Roman Catholic churches built in the 1890s and the English-style clock tower, dating from 1868.
From there I took a slow bus (lots of picking up and setting down) to Tirana, which as expected is largely a mess of communist concrete, but with many redeeming features. I was pleased to find a small new herb and wild flower garden on the central Skanderbeg Square – this is now a wide gently domed plaza above a car park, but I was also pleased to see plenty of cyclists crossing it. Unfortunately the main arteries to the bus stations and out of the city are horribly traffic-choked and not fit for cycling. Architecturally, the city is known for a few Italian Fascist-style buildings, such as the national bank, and for its programme of making unattractive concrete blocks more attractive by painting them – I was led to expect lurid graffiti art, but saw only pastel Italian tones – but I didn't get everywhere. The 'Tirana 2030' project aims to return a bit more nature to the cityscape, and will with luck be nothing like the crass Skopje 2014 project.
Unfortunately Tirana's railway station was closed in 2013 and replaced with a multi-carriageway road to rearrange the city's traffic jams, with trains moved Ryanair-style to Vorë, 16km away; from 2015 trains made it as far as Kashar, an industrial area about 7km northwest of the centre along the Durrës highway. A new bus and train interchange is supposedly to be built in Laprakë, a bit closer to the centre, but as successive governments have been happy to let the railway system collapse this seems unlikely to happen. In truth, one government signs up to a project and the next starves it of funds and cancels it – in particular, a contract was awarded to GE to build a railway to Tirana's airport in 2005 and then cancelled, costing the government €14 million. Governments keep on putting modern railway stations in places that can only really be reached by car – see the new TGV line in Morocco, and I gather this has also happened with the new line to Addis Ababa in Ethiopia.
The city does have a few decent museums – the national history museum starts well, with good archeological displays with information in English, but then goes downhill upstairs (as it were). There's good coverage of the kingdom of Illyria, which came into being by the end of the fifth century BC, and under the legendary Queen Teuta covered the whole Croatian coast as well as Albania; the Illyrians produced several Roman emperors (most notable Justinian) but simply vanished from the historical record in the seventh century AD. The coverage of the medieval and modern periods is less good, but there's some interesting stuff – I'd thought Skanderbeg was a purely local hero, but he (George Kastrioti) turns out to have been an equal of the great John Hunyadi (Iancu de Hunedoara), who I've come across many times in Romania – they formed an alliance against the Turks, winning a great victory at Niš in 1443. The Castrati petrol stations are named after him (that's his helmet in the logo), not after the Italian singers with very high voices.
Nearby, the Bunk'Art-2 museum is housed in the bunker beneath the Ministry of Internal Affairs, built in 1981-6 (the present entry and exit outside the ministry are recent additions). This was one of the last 'great works' of Hoxha's bunkerisation project, which began in the early 1970s and produced 175,000 bunkers and pillboxes across the country. In 24 rooms, it covers the history of the country's Gendarmerie and the Sigurimi (Security Police), founded in 1944 as soon as the communists began their takeover (its founder was himself arrested and shot in 1948). Between 1944 and 1991 over 6,000 people were executed and over 30,000 political prisoners were held in labour camps; in addition the Border Forces (established in 1949) killed about 1,000 Albanian citizens attempting to leave their prison of a country. It's a well-presented museum, and you can scan the AR logo for an augmented reality experience. In the eastern suburbs, the original Bunk'Art 1 (in Hoxha's atomic bunker) displays a broader view of everyday life under communism.
Hoxha's Pyramid (built as his tomb and museum in 1988 and briefly used as a conference centre after 1991) is a sad wreck, and the nearby Bloku area, where the senior communists lived and where the hottest bars and clubs are supposedly located, seemed pretty dull to me.
Having recently been visiting the shrines of Sufi saints in Uzbekistan, I was interested to see that the Bektashi order of dervishes has its global headquarters in Tirana. Founded in Anatolia in the thirteenth century by Haji Bektash Veli from Bukhara, it was particularly popular with the janissaries (such as Mimar Sinan), elite Ottoman soldiers taken as boys from Christian villages in the Balkans – and somehow it found its way back to this part of the world. You can also visit the House of the Dervish Khorasani, Khorasan also being in Uzbekistan. Albania was of course officially atheist in the communist period and is now of no particular religion – there are Muslims, Catholics and Orthodox believers, and they don't particularly care. Anyway, you're welcome to visit their headquarters, just east of the centre, and there's a small museum beneath the mosque (I also saw Bektashi tombs in Gjirokaster castle – below).
What's more, Albania has welcomed 3,000 Iranian dissidents of the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq from Iraq (where the pro-Iranian regime regularly allowed military attacks on their camp) to a new settlement, known as Ashraf 3, halfway between Tirana and the coast. It doesn't get many visitors as yet, but there's also a museum here, covering a hundred years of shocking struggle for human rights in Iran.
South of Tirana – Berat, Gjirokaster, Sarandë and Butrint
Heading south from Tirana, I found Berat and Gjirokaster both slightly reminiscent of Plovdiv, with their steep cobbled alleys and Turkish-style merchants' houses. The historic centre of Berat is about 2.5km from the bus station (walk or take a bus, clearly cast off from Paris or the Netherlands) – start with the view from the bridge over the Osumit River, linking Gorica, the Christian quarter to the south, and Magdalem, the Muslim quarter that rises up row upon row to the hill-top Kalasa citadel. On the main road in Magdalem you'll find the remains of the eighteenth-century Pasha's Palace and alongside it the Royal Mosque (originally the Sultan Mosque, built for Beyazit II at the end of the fifteenth century), the Helvetti Tekke (a Sufi prayer hall, rebuilt in 1782) and a nineteenth-century caravanserai and inn for dervishes. The mosques are currently being restored by TIKA, the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency, which I also noticed at work in Kosova.
Opposite the Helvetti Tekke I stumbled across the Edward Lear Gallery (not in any tourist literature that I'd seen – it's free, and open 08.00 to 14.00 except Mondays) – Lear, who was a superb painter and engraver as well as a composer of nonsense poetry, stopped here in 1848 and 1859, and described it as a 'wonderfully picturesque place'. The gallery has some useful background information on him and one of his paintings, of Mount Tomor, a peak of 2417 metres which was the ancient home of the Illyrian gods and is still the object of a pilgrimage on the Feast of the Assumption in August. The gallery has four biggish rooms, exhibiting temporary shows by local artists, most titled either 'portrait' or 'landscape' – they're really not too bad. Lear wasn't the first western European artist to pass through, as a certain William Martin Leake had been here in 1805, and Charles Cockerill in 1813, not to mention the Irish writer Robert Walsh in 1828; more famously, Lord Byron and John Cam Hobhouse passed though in 1808, although their meeting with the local despot Ali Pasha took place in Tepelena (there's a reference to the 'glittering minarets of Tepelen' in Childe Harold's Pilgrimage).
Above the Pasha's Palace, alleys lead uphill past the Ethnographic Museum to the citadel. Originally built in the fifth and sixth centuries under the Byzantine emperors Theodosius II and Justinian I (though the present walls were erected mainly in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries), this is still inhabited by several hundred people and there are some pleasant cafés here as well as four churches built between the thirteenth and seventeenth centuries, plus the Church of the Holy Trinity, built in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, on the slope outside the walls.
Gjirokaster, as you'd expect from the name (from the same Latin root as Chester, Worcester, Gloucester etc etc), is all about the castle, although you can also visit some fine Ottoman townhouses. Inhabited by the fourth century BC, the first walls were built in the sixth century and what you see now was built mainly by the Byzantines and the Ottoman Turks, who captured it in 1417. Ali Pasha (see above) was backed by the British government at the time, which explains the British cannon on display. Once inside the castle, you can go along an avenue of artillery to reach the very dated Arms Museum, which inevitably also covers the struggles of the Partisans against the Nazis. Rather more interesting is the newish (2012) Museum of Gjirokaster, which opened at 10.00, an hour late, but never mind – it covers local history from 20,000 years ago to 2005, when the city, its houses crumbling due to emigration, was added to UNESCO's World Heritage List, as well as brief mentions of local bats and vultures, and the isopolyphonic songs of southern Albania, also protected by UNESCO (on the intangible cultural heritage list) – iso refers to the drone part of these four-part songs. Outside on the ramparts you'll see an American T33 jet which crash-landed at Rinas in 1957 (photos taken in 1988 show it in rather better condition than today), but there's also an interesting story about a Dakota that came down near Elbasan in 1943 with 26 nurses and medics on board – after attempts to fly them out under the Germans' noses failed they were eventually marched 800 miles (clearly not in a straight line) to the coast for evacuation to Italy.
There are almost no old buildings in Sarandë (although there are a couple of derelict warehouses near the port that could be repurposed), but the sprawl of fairly low-rise apartment blocks is not unpleasant, mainly because of its setting and the pleasant people strolling on the promenade and running the hotels and restaurants. Nor is it traffic-choked because, unlike Kotor, it has several parallel roads. Nevertheless, there seem to be no controls on the spread of new buildings up the hills and along the coast, and it's a comfort that the fabulous classical ruins of Butrint are a safe distance away (19km south, to be precise).
Butrint is fantastic – the hourly bus from Sarandë terminates near the entrance, where a small ferry crosses the outlet from Butrint lagoon to a couple of small villages that have grown up on silt banks that have built up since the city was founded, possibly in the aftermath of the Trojan War (Virgil has Aeneas stopping here) and certainly by the twelfth century BC. The Greek settlement became Roman, then Byzantine and then Venetian, and there are remains from all these phases; the sixth-century baptistery and basilica are particularly impressive, but it's a shame that the almost intact mosaic of the baptistery is almost always kept under sand, due to the frequency of flooding here. One could well make a case for replacing it with a modern replica and moving it to the decent little museum under the Venetian fort. On the other hand, it was fun watching turtles swimming in the Greek theatre. In fact the whole area is a national park, and I saw a large slowworm or something like it not far from the tourist loop.
Durrës and Elbasan are commonly agreed to be dumps; Paul Theroux's account of arriving in Durrës in 1994, on a ferry full of stolen cars, is a superb account of a totally failed country, although it obviously has improved since.
I stayed in hostels, which can now be found in all the country's major towns and which offer the best way of getting information as well as a cheery welcome and a good breakfast. The ones I stayed in in Shkodër and Tirana are both in older houses that survived amid concrete blocks right in the city centres. This was even more true of Berat, where the Berat Backpackers hostel was in a lovely old house in the Gorica quarter looking across the river to Magdalem (both on the World Heritage List) and the Kala or Citadel. The hostel was known as Scotty's, having been founded in 2009 by an Englishman (a Geordie, to be exact) – bizarrely, he'd sold it the day before I arrived (although a manager had run it for him for the last couple of years), to the owner of another hostel, a very likeable local chap who seems very capable and speaks excellent English. In Gjirokaster the Dutch-run Stone City Hostel was even better, and rightly won a 2019 Hoscar award – it's another old house, with spacious common area, squeaky-clean washroom, and superb breakfast – how it is that wholegrain bread is available I don't know, but homemade fig jam is a constant in this area. But do say if you don't want your fried egg solid. Finally, my hostel in Sarandë was clean and spacious, with one of the most hospitable owners you could ask for, and just a minute or so from the ferry terminal. I enjoyed the hostels on this whole trip from Istanbul to Albania – it's a region which seems to attract interesting travellers, not just people looking for cheap beer and ticking off a few compulsory sights. Even so, there are far too many who just hole up on their bunks watching films on their phones (and slowing down the internet for everyone else) – call that travel? And a lot of young people who wouldn't smoke at home seem go mad when travelling here – something I noticed in Vietnam too.
In Shköder I ate well at Peja (possibly named after the cultural capital of Kosova), which serves authentic 'slow food', but surprisingly fast – I had great eggplant stuffed with apple (from Korça), followed by apple with baklava. I also drank a Puka beer, from Pukë (pronounced Puka), about 30km east of Shkodër, which had a bit of colour and taste to it, unlike all the anaemic lagers available elsewhere in the country. The Korça brewery does produce a dark beer as well as a lager, and I finally sampled that on my last night – pretty tangy and refreshing. In Gjirokaster I ate at Odaja, which was great – there's an English menu which was clear about vegetarian (not vegan) dishes, which accounted for about a quarter of the list. I had their famous (at least at the Stone City Hostel) tomato balls, which were basically fritters (I also enjoyed them in Corfu) and qifqi rice balls (a Gjirokaster speciality, rather like arancini); imam bayildi is a sort of Turkish ratatouille, and oshaf is a fig dessert (I also saw snails for sale in Gjirokaster).
The Albanian language
Albanian is an Indo-European language, derived from Illyrian, which looks like nothing else with its double rrs and lls and its ë, and names like Urani Runbo. You won't learn much (enough people speak some English), but do try to master Faleminderit (thank you). Po and jo (yes and no) are easily confused, but once I'd heard an Kosovar talking to his wife on the phone (po, po, po… po, po, po, like a dove) it became easier. The one word you'll probably remember, as it's on signs everywhere, is Shitet (for sale)…. By main roads you'll see signs for Lavazh (in the Gheg north) or Lavazho (in the Tosk south) – at first I assumed it meant Armenian bread, but it fact it means car-wash – from the French, of course.

The rewarding path of entrepreneurship is long and dotted with pitfalls. There is no other way to set the business wheels into motion than to tool up. In other words, you need to figure out office supplies and other essentials that fuel your endeavours. This process involves a matrix of different elements. Some of them we tend to take for granted, yet when they are nowhere to be found, we are in a pickle. So, get into the art of planning and line up everything you need. Assemble a functional and well-designed office space and you will be able to get the operation up and running.
Blowing the budget is a legitimate concern for newly minted entrepreneurs. To avoid this scenario, you should assemble a comprehensive list of essentials. Namely, you can start by identifying only the basic office supplies and equipment. This will help you navigate the shopping and installation frenzy. In any event, there are some big expenses and major pieces of equipment, but you also have to keep an eye on details.
Yes, office supplies may not cost a fortune, yet you do need them. For instance, desk supplies often get overlooked, which can cause many unnecessary headaches. So, make sure you have paper clips, scissors, staplers, highlighters, pens, and other small items. To prevent a mess from ensuing, utilize smart desk storage solutions right off the bat. Organizers make your life easier and keep annoying distractions at bay. Likewise, keep important paperwork in folders.
Speaking of which, paper is still an unavoidable asset for most offices. If nothing else, you need it for printing and writing. Therefore, it would be wise to stock up on notepads, notebooks, sticky notes, and paper for printers and copiers. At the same time, try to reduce the overall use of paper. Figure out ways of digitizing your office. Store documents and files on your hard drive or cloud platforms. This will help you become more eco-friendly and also reduce physical storage requirements and clutter.
These smart tactics bring us to the point of making the most of software tools at your disposal. There is a wide array of solutions that cover everything from scheduling meetings to bookkeeping. Handling team assignments is much easier to pull off with the help of project management tools such as Slack. Along similar lines, bear in mind that the market is flooded with business automation solutions. As the name suggests, they make your life much easier by automating tedious and routine tasks.
Regardless of whether you possess mobile devices, having a laptop or a desktop is an absolute must. The former offers mobility, while the latter packs a stronger processing punch. If you go for a desktop, you also need a monitor, as well as other peripherals. I would not skimp in this department because lackluster technology quickly becomes obsolete. You might also want to pick a printer and a wireless router in order to keep all your devices connected.
Considering the amount of time you spend sitting, you have to be careful when picking office furniture. Take your time and stick to high-quality products. Adhere to the principles of office ergonomics to ensure peak productivity and preserve your health and well-being. See to it that the desk, chair, and your computer come seamlessly together and provide maximum comfort and utility.
Note that quality furniture pieces also give off a professional impression and come in handy when your partners and clients come by. So, make sure your psychical space reflects who you are and values you uphold. Moreover, to design a stellar office, you should place the furniture only after fleshing out your floor plan. Open plan is quite popular nowadays, although there are both pros and cons to using it. Weigh them carefully.
Finally, we have already mentioned storage, but we have to do it once again. Try to maximize vertical space with floor-to-ceiling open shelves. Add containers to set order to items and use labels to keep track of them. Consider employing easy-access drawers for storing smaller items you need regularly. You should think outside the box and make good use of innovative and flexible solutions such as rolling caddies with drawers. The list goes on, so explore all the avenues before making a purchase.
A typical office encompasses a variety of moving parts. They must all work in harmony to support our daily habits and long-term goals. Therefore, you have to plan ahead of time and think strategically. Set up a budget to get the most bang for your buck. Get your priorities straight: separate must-haves from nice-to-haves. Banish clutter and keep distractions out of the way. Arm yourself for the long business race and get more things done every day. The right decisions in this department will set you on your way to achieving your objectives and beyond.

Q: drawRect in actionscript3         var blockGraphics : Graphics = null;

        blockGraphics.clear();

        blockGraphics.beginFill(255);

        blockGraphics.drawRect(10,10,10,10);

I am trying to simply draw a rectangle but nothing appears on the screen. What am i missing?

A: Afaik you can't instantiate graphics class..
you need to make a MovieClip or Sprite and work with that.. you can't draw directly to stage.
var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
mc.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);
mc.graphics.drawRect(10,10,10,10);
mc.graphics.endFill();

also don't forget to add it to stage
addChild(mc);

A: var mySprite:Sprite = new Sprite();

mySprite.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
mySprite.graphics.drawRect(10, 10, 10, 10);
mySprite.graphics.endFill();

addChild(mySprite);

A: I don't really know a whole lot about the graphics class (I've used it a few times) but I don't believe you can call ANYTHING on a null object.
blockGraphics = null;
blockGraphics.clear();

is the same as calling:
null.clear();

Which is going to give you an error.  Typically you'll want to take a movieclip or other such object and get it's graphics instance:
blockGraphics = mc.graphics;
blockGraphics.clear();
blockGraphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);
blockGraphics.drawRect(10,10,10,10);

would draw a red rectangle inside the "mc" movieclip.

A$AP Ferg Interview with Dazed
admin / 28 Apr, 2016
On the cover of A$AP Ferg's second album Always Strive and Prosper, the Harlem rapper is draped in white linen, falling into a dark body of water. The artwork, realized by designer Renell Medrano, carries captivating themes of baptism and rebirth. Ferg developed his creative senses through visual arts school and has always embraced the grittiness of his New York heritage in his music, style, and attitude, but as his success grows, his focus is more so now to inspire and educate others by sharing these collected experiences. The new Ferg is familiar, but it's an enlightened version of himself: a beaconing figure inviting his disciples into the most intimate corners of his kingdom.
"It represents a new me," Ferg says when we sit down just before the kick-off of his album listening party in NYC's SoHo adidas store. "I was Trap Lord, and I graduated to the Hood Pope because I travelled the world. I'm older, I'm wiser. Now I can come back to preach to my people."
Part of Ferg's storytelling capitalizes on the importance of varied perspective. Included on the tracklist of Always Strive and Prosper are names from all walks of life, joined together under Ferg's leadership. Think: Future and ScHoolboy Q, Chuck D and Missy Elliott, Lil Uzi Vert and Marty Baller, Ferg's grandmother and the mother of the late A$AP Yams. As Ferg explains, all of these people have touched his artistic outlook in some shape or form. "I feel like, in a way, all of these voices, these people, these fabrics, makes the cloth that I'm made of."
And while he was simply paying homage to their influences by recruiting them onto his project, Ferg is simultaneously marking a landmark in modern hip hop culture. He put OGs in the same rooms as the up-and-comers, he brought together his long-time colleagues to celebrate a shared passion for music, he put his dearest family members on songs with his heroes. While he's not the first to tell his personal story through a varied perspective, in a genre that's becoming increasingly cut-and-paste and welcoming of imitators, we need these moments of unexpected togetherness in rap. Without them, the culture not only becomes regurgitated and static, but we also lose sight of hip hop's familial values.
And as The Hood Pope preaches his self-written gospels, taking us on the journey of his rebirth through the sonic and visual components of Always Strive and Prosper, he's also planting his staff in an important cultural moment, proving the power of perspective in front of all of his successors.

Бой у Будзиски — одно из вооруженных столкновений в ходе Польского восстания 1830—1831 годов, которое произошло  близ населённого пункта , между польскими повстанческими отрядами под началом Антония Янковского и частями русской императорской армии под командованием генерала Фёдора Васильевича Ридигера.

Перед сражением

После сражения под Остроленкой, русская армия, в ожидании прибытия подкреплений, оставалась в окрестностях Пултуска — Голымина — Макова; польская армия старалась в это время восстановить свои силы и решилась на экспедицию против Ридигера, стоявшего в Люблине.

 польские отряды начали движение, и  генерал Янковский с 11-и тысячным войском достиг Гулова (у Адамова), куда должен был подойти Джероламо Рамарино (5000 человек) и Самуэль Ружицкий (1000 чел.), чтобы атаковать Ридигера с фронта и оттеснить его от реки Буг, в то время, как Войцех Хшановский зайдет от Замостья в тыл русским. Положение Ридигера в Люблине было изолированным и на помощь он не мог рассчитывать; еще  он получил известия, что русские посты у Коцка, Замостья, Казимержа и Пулав оттеснены, а Ромарино ожидает подкреплений, поэтому решил попытаться разбить его, а в случае неудачи отойти на Холм.

В 2 часа ночи  Ридигер (8500 человек) скрытно выступил из Люблина, через Камионку и Мехов, пройдя в сутки более 50 километров, достиг реки Вепрж, перешел вброд против Лысобык и  занял позицию у Пржиточно, где сходятся дороги из Коцка, Адамова, Окржеи и Рык. В тот же день Янковский вступил в пространство между Будзиско, Серокомлею и Коцком. Ромарино расположился около Подлодова; Коцк и Баранов также были заняты неприятелем. Положение Ридигера, окруженного с трех сторон, было критическое; тем не менее он решил прежде всего атаковать ближайшие отряды и привлечь внимание врага демонстрациями. Янковский, опасаясь, чтобы Ридигер не ускользнул, выслал конную бригаду в Коцк, отряд Турно направил к Будзиски, а сам с двумя полками остался в Серокомле.

Генерал Ридигер перешел в наступление: сам (около 4000 человек) пошел правой дорогой на Будзиск; через деревню Харлеов для обеспечения себя справа, со стороны Коцка, выслал генерал Плахово (1.600 солдат) с приказанием маневрировать между Серокомлей и Коцком; по левой, кратчайшей на Будзиск дороге двинулся генерал Денис Васильевич Давыдов (2.400 военнослужащих).

Битва

Давыдов, подойдя в 4 часа утра к Будзискому лесу, наткнулся при выходе из него на выступивший из Будзиски отряд Турно (3500 человек). Завязался бой: 20-й егерский полк ворвался в лес, но вскоре был вытеснен поляками на поляну, где бой продолжился. Ридигер слыша канонаду на левом фланге, повернул влево и завязал дело с войсками у Будзиски, составлявшими резерв Турно, но они отошли за Будзиск и фланговым маршем приблизились к дороге, ведущей из Харлеова в Серокомлю, в надежде войти в связь с ожидаемым подкреплением, чем изолировали сражавшихся с Давыдовым, которые, слыша стрельбу в тылу, стали отступать на резерв. Они могли быть совершенно отрезаны и окружены, но появление по дороге из Серокомли неприятельской колонны вызвало у Ридигера опасение, что Янковский, заняв это селение, будет действовать ему во фланг и тыл; поэтому он не решился удаляться от Харлеова, а направил в Будзиск 1 батальон Полтавского полка, усилил правый фланг 4 орудиями, придвинул свой левый фланг к лесу, ввел в него 2 батальона, а к опушке придвинул 1 дивизион драгун.

Польский 3-й егерский полк, теснимый с фронта егерями Давыдова, а во фланг батальоном, посланным Ридигером, был совершенно расстроен: 2 батальона почти уничтожены, 2 офицера и 506 нижних чинов взяты в плен, а остатки отошли в Гуловскую Волю; сюда отступил и Янковский, не подав помощи Турно, выдержавшему шестичасовой бой. Между тем Плахово выслал между Коцком и Серокомлей погоню за обозом, который вскоре был захвачен. Покончив с обозом, генерал Сергей Николаевич Плахово обратился навстречу двигавшемуся из Коцка отряду Рожицкого и атаковал его близ Талчина; Рожицкий уклонился за речку, а на следующий день отошел к Окржее, куда вечером  прибыл Янковский, найдя там Ромарино, отошедшего во время боя у Будзиски.

Потери русских составили убитыми и ранеными 6 офицеров и 157 нижних чинов. Ридигер отступил на позицию у Пржиточно, а  выступил из Пржиточно на Коцк, Любартов и Ленчну, куда прибыл  и восстановил сообщение с III пехотным корпусом Паисия Сергеевича Кайсарова, расположенным на границе Волынской губернии.
