Home / Internet of Things / IoT-Connected Construction Cranes Vulnerable to Hijacking
IoT-Connected Construction Cranes Vulnerable to Hijacking
By Sue Walsh | November 21, 2018 with 0 Comments
Telecrane's cranes have an IoT security flaw that could allow hackers to take over control of the equipment.
Threatpost has reported the discovery of yet another IoT device vulnerability. Telecrane's F25 series connects to the internet to help operators control crane movements. A weakness in the security could allow hackers to intercept connected cranes' communications and take control of the equipment.
"It's not uncommon for the crane to not have line-of-sight view to the 'landing spot' and a remote controller to be there guiding the load down," he wrote. "Bluetooth won't work. You might be able to set up a local network but, given that there might be a big building in the way, that probably won't work either. So the next option is to use a 3G or 4G phone connection to the web from the controller to the crane. A wired connection would be difficult as well," says Bruce Schneier.
The Telecrane Flaw
Dubbed the Telecrane flaw, CVE-2018-17935 compromises the transmission mechanism connecting the two hardware pieces that allow the crane to "talk" to its controller in the operator cockpit. Considered an "authentication bypass by capture-relay," it intercepts and edits transmissions and then uses them to assume control of the crane. It's basically a man-in-the-middle style attack.
See also: Rethinking DDoS security in the era of 5G and cloud
The security flaw has been assigned a "serious" CVSS v3 score of 7.6, and US-CERT categorized it as a basic attack not requiring advanced skills. Telecrane addressed the problem in their latest firmware update, but it's up to construction companies to obtain and install it.
While there have been no known actual attacks, security officials urge construction companies to keep their crane's firmware up to date, use VPNs to protect their data, and minimize the network exposure of all control devices.

Our cost to cruise the South Pacific has been lower than expected. We had repeatedly heard how expensive it is to cruise this area of the world. I think most people remember cruising the South Pacific and refer to it as expensive because they recall sailing to French Polynesia which is undoubtedly expensive. Maybe they forget that countries (Samoa, Tonga, Fiji) in the middle are more reasonable and then it gets expensive again once they have landed in either New Zealand or Australia for cyclone season. We purposely chose to stay in Fiji because we had always heard it referred to as "Australia's Mexico" implying, among other things, that's it's inexpensive to live here.
Many people have been interested in our health insurance policy. We purchased our plan through Patriot at a cost of $108 USD per month to cover the 4 of us. Each of us carries a $2500 deductible. In the two years we sailed Mexico we self insured, as health care is affordable (noble concept). You read more by clicking here about living in Mexico without having health insurance. Honestly speaking, the only reason we purchased our plan was because French Polynesia requires health insurance upon arrival. You can read more by clicking here about what else French Polynesia requires upon entry. We decided to keep our plan and will be renewing it, because it offers piece of mind at an affordable cost.
Fun Facts: We get 140 GB (you read that correctly) of data for $25 per month. What are you paying for your internet? We pay $3.50 a month for cell minutes to use on our local phone. Expect random cost categories to show up like, Cat fostering if sailing with teenage girls. The cat did find it's furever home!

Civic Center Art Moving
Relocate, Restore, Return: Large-Scale Artworks Moving for Scottsdale Civic Center Renovations
Windows to the West by Louise Nevelson is among the artworks that will be temporarily moved from Scottsdale Civic Center during renovations. Photo: Scottsdale Arts
Beginning September 1, 2021, Scottsdale Public Art will begin the enormous job of moving 10 sculptures from the park area at Scottsdale Civic Center to make way for the city of Scottsdale's upcoming renovation project.
Mountains and Rainbows by Jose Bermudez is among the artworks that will be relocated away from Scottsdale Civic Center prior to renovations. Photo: Scottsdale Arts
Jose Bermudez's Mountains and Rainbows (1976), above, will be sited near a lake at the new DC Ranch Park in north Scottsdale. This sculpture is no stranger to water; its original 1970s location was in a fountain at the Civic Center.
Gary Slater's Right-Angle Variations (1975) will be moved to a new soccer park under construction at Bell Road. Although it's a static sculpture, the steel artwork's overlapping right angles give it a dynamic sense of movement—perfect for an active sports park.
Kenji Umeda's Allurement of a Journey (1980) will be relocated to the grounds of the Arabian Library on McDowell Mountain Ranch Road. This Portuguese marble sculpture is already accustomed to the literary-minded, given its current location outside of the reading area at the Civic Center Library.
The Yearlings by George-Ann Tognoni is among the artworks that will be restored and repaired before returning to Scottsdale Civic Center. Photo: Scottsdale Arts
Following repairs, George-Ann Tognoni's The Yearlings (1985), above, will be reinstalled a few yards east of its current location at the Main Street entrance to the Civic Center. The beloved bronze sculpture of three foals is one of the city's oldest equestrian artworks.
Dale Wright's Don Quixote (1968) will also be restored before it returns to its current location in the lagoon just southwest of Scottsdale City Hall. This welded steel sculpture of the windmill-chasing character is one of three sculptures by Wright in the city's collection.
LOVE by Robert Indiana is among the artworks that will be stored in secure locations during the renovations before returning to Scottsdale Civic Center, though some may be re-sited in different spots. Photo: Scottsdale Arts
After the 18-month construction project is complete, Louise Nevelson's Windows to the West (1973) will return to the Civic Center, but in a spot closer to Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts. Formally titled Atmosphere and Environments XVIII, this iconic steel sculpture was commissioned, in part, by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, making Scottsdale the first small city to receive an endowment from the NEA's Works of Art in Public Places program.
George-Ann Tognoni's Winfield Scott Memorial (2007) will be re-sited closer to the nearby Scottsdale Historical Museum. The bronze sculpture is based on a photograph of Scottsdale's founders, Winfield and Helen Scott.
Clyde "Ross" Morgan's Mayor Herbert "Herb" Drinkwater and His Dog Sadie (2003) will also get a slightly newer Civic Center location near City Hall. The sculpture's current location is almost directly over the boulevard named for the former Scottsdale mayor.
Robert Winslow's Freedom (1977) will be situated in the new children's garden, just north of the Civic Center Library, after renovations are complete. The new location will be fitting for the abstract limestone piece, which was donated by the artist's friends in fondness for their three children.
Robert Indiana's LOVE (1999) sculpture, above, will be re-installed near its current location. One of the most recognizable pieces in the city's collection, LOVE is a popular photo op for both locals and tourists. LOVE will be moving in October and in storage for more than a year, so be sure to take your photos before October 11, when the area surrounding LOVE is likely to be fenced off.
Fountain of Youth by Ivan Pintar is among the artworks that will be unaffected throughout the Scottsdale Civic Center renovation process. Photo: Scottsdale Arts
Ivan Pintar's Fountain of Youth (1968), John Waddell's Mother and Child (1960), Abbot Pattison's Woman and Fish (1954), and Austin Deuel's The Chaplain (2009) will all remain in their current locations near Scottsdale City Hall.
Additionally, all artworks inside Scottsdale City Hall, Scottsdale Civic Center Library, Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, and Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA) will be unaffected by the renovations and remain in place.
For more details about the city of Scottsdale's $27.3 million renovation, and renderings of the new Civic Center plans, visit the city's information page for the project.

Call for vigilance after turtle death
Simon Jones
Published Nov 12, 2017 at 12:07 pm (Updated Nov 15, 2017 at 5:28 am)
Animal welfare experts have urged the public to act quickly and call the aquarium if they see signs of a turtle in distress.
The call came after a young green turtle died in the waters off Lagoon Park, in Sandys, after it got entangled in monofilament line attached to a boat mooring.
The animal had been seen circling the mooring by local residents two days earlier, but no one had realised it was trapped.
A concerned citizen contacted Patrick Talbot, the curator of the aquarium and zoo, on Sunday afternoon, but by that time the animal had died.
Mr Talbot said: "I confirmed that the turtle was spotted two days earlier hanging around the mooring by a member of the public.
"They were concerned on Saturday that there might be a problem as it was still there, but when the turtle was approached, it dove underwater and out of sight. Unfortunately, it drowned late on Sunday morning.
"We want to stress the importance of early reporting but also the importance of removing fishing line and other entanglement hazards from the water.
"Unfortunately, in this case, we were not able to get to the animal in time. The sooner we know, the better chance we have of saving the turtle."
Earlier this summer, a loggerhead turtle rescued by divers was returned to the sea after nine months of care.
The turtle, nicknamed "Chad" by his rescuers, was found tangled in cargo netting in Ely's Harbour last October by Blue Water Divers.
Ian Walker, principal curator of the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo, said: "We are always grateful when the general public contacts us to try to save wildlife. If you suspect an animal might be tethered in place via entanglement with fishing line or other materials, please call us as soon as possible so we can investigate.
"The best number to call is the Maritime Operations Centre on 297-1010 or VHF Channel 16.
"An entangled animal that is tethered will be seen in the same place over a period of hours. "They may have trouble diving or getting their head above water and they may look like they are circling something such as a mooring buoy. In these cases, time is of the essence if we are to save the animal from injury or death."
Dr Walker added: "Unfortunately, this is the second recent case of tethering entanglement that we have seen and we felt it was important to alert the public so they can be aware of animals in this type of distress and act accordingly.
"As always, we encourage the general public to pick up fish line and hooks if they find them discarded along our shorelines as they can become lethal traps for our wildlife."

Tianyi Yihuai (chiń. 天衣義懷, pinyin Tiānyī Yìhuái; kor. 천의의회 Ch'ŏnui Uihoe; jap. Tenne Gikai; wiet. Thiên Y Nghĩa Hoài; ur. 993, zm. 1064) – chiński mistrz chan szkoły yunmen.

Życiorys
Tianyi pochodził z nadbrzeżnego miasta Leqing, które znajdowało się na terenie dzisiejszej prow. Zhejiang. Był synem rybaka i odmówił zabijania ryb podczas połowów.

Jako młodzieniec został nowicjuszem w klasztorze Tiantong, który znajdował się w okolicy dzisiejszego miasta Ningbo w prow. Zhejiang. Około 1027 r. zdał pisemny egzamin dla mnichów i następnie udał się na wędrówkę, praktykując w wielu klasztorach.

W czasie wędrówki towarzyszył mu późniejszy mistrz chan Fushan Fayuan (991–1067). Dotarli m.in. do mistrza chan Shexiana Guixinga, który miał opinię niezwykle surowego, wywołującego strach u mnichów. Było to w połowie niezwykle srogiej zimy. Guishan oblał ich zimną wodą i stosował dalsze szykany. Wreszcie Tianyi powiedział My dwaj przebyliśmy tysiąc mil tylko po to, aby studiować u ciebie; jak moglibyśmy odejść tylko po jednym wiaderku wody wylanej na nas? Nawet jak pobijesz nas na śmierć, nie odejdziemy. Guixing wybuchnął śmiechem i przyjął ich do klasztoru.

Podczas tych wędrówek pojawiły się u Tianyiego wątpliwości związane z wiarą i praktyką. Wreszcie pewien stary mnich imieniem Fahua poradził mu Idź do Yunmena lub Linjiego!

Ostatecznie Tianyi dotarł do klasztoru Cuifeng w Suzhou, który był prowadzony przez wielkiego mistrza chan Xuedou Chogxiana.

 Podczas ich pierwszego spotkania Xuedou powiedział Jak się nazywasz?
 Tianyi powiedział Yihuai.
 Chongxian powiedział Dlaczego nie Huaiyi?
 Tianyi powiedział Takie imię zostało mi nadane.
 Chongxian powiedział Kto nadał ci to imię?
 Tianyi powiedział Otrzymałem go podczas ordynacji prawie dziesięć lat temu.
 Chongxian powiedział Jak wiele par sandałów schodziłeś od czasu, gdy rozpocząłeś wędrówkę?
 Tianyi powiedział Mistrz nie powinien zwodzić ludzi!
 Chongxian powiedział Nie powiedziałem niczego niewłaściwego. Co masz na myśli?
 Tianyi milczał.
 Chongxin uderzył go i powiedział Obnażona cisza i oto oszustwo! Wyjdź!
 Później Tianyi udał się na rozmowę do pokoju mistrza. Chongxian powiedział Tak praktykując nie osiągniesz tego. Nie praktykując tak nie osiągniesz tego. Ten sposób lub nie w ten sposób, żaden sposób nie osiągnie tego.
 Tianyi zaczął mówić, lecz Chongxian wyrzucił go z pokoju uderzeniami. Powtórzyło się to czterokrotnie. W jakiś czas potem, gdy Tianyi nabrał wody ze źródła i niósł ją na koromyśle do klasztoru, koromysło nagle się złamało. Gdy wiadro spadło na ziemię, Tianyi osiągnął oświecenie. Skomponował wtedy następującą gathę, w pełni zaakceptowaną przez mistrza
 Raz, dwa, trzy, cztery, pięć, sześć, siedem,
 Samotny na szczycie 80,000-stopowej góry,
 Wyrywając perłę ze szczęk czarnego smoka,
 Jedno słowo naraża Wimalakirtiego.

Every cup of Pukka tea has a unique and often fascinating story. One of our favourites is the story of Love tea.
This is partly because of the intention behind its creation, and partly because of the inspiring projects that it supports, especially through its FairWild certified ingredients: elderflower, limeflower and licorice.
The story behind Pukka's Love tea
As with all our teas, Love was created by our Master Herbsmith, Sebastian. What makes this tea different is that it was a very personal creation, blended with the intention of 'wooing' a new love on their first date.
The mix of flowers, including rose, lavender and marigold, was a way to the lovely Suze's heart, and at the time there was never any thought of putting the blend in a tea bag.
The tea clearly worked; within a year Sebastian and Suze had moved in together and were married soon after. Several years later, Sebastian decided to spread the love even wider. The original blend was recreated and in 2004 we launched Pukka's Love tea.
Now, more than 1.3 million cups of this heart-warming brew are drunk every month. That's a lot of Love.
The FairWild effect
The ripples of good intention not only touch the people who drink the tea, they also touch the people who grow and collect the herbs. There is one story in particular that illustrates the healing power of Love – the story of FairWild elderflower, collected from the ruins of villages destroyed during the Bosnian war.
For those of you who don't remember the Bosnian war, it was a bitter conflict between different ethnic groups that took place during the 90's. Much of the worst fighting happened in and around Sarajevo, which was surrounded by opposition forces who blocked anything or anyone from entering or leaving the city for almost four years.
A short distance from Sarajevo is the small town of Konjic. Like Sarajevo, Konjic was also under siege for much of the war. Opposition forces occupied small villages in the surrounding hills, firing shells into the town, whilst government forces fired shells back into the hills. By the end of the war most villages had been abandoned, and in many cases, completely ruined.
In the years since the end of the Bosnian war, the abandoned villages have gradually been reclaimed by nature. It just so happens that one of the most common and vigorous pioneer species to colonise the villages is the elder tree – the source of elderflower, a key ingredient in Love tea.
The project we work with in association with FairWild was set up in 2000, a time when the conflict was still very fresh in people's memories. One of the aims of the project was to create employment for people who lost their livelihoods during the war.
They now employ over 700 families to collect a wide range of herbs, including FairWild elderflower, limeflower, dandelionsand nettles. FairWild certification, as the name suggests, ensures that the collection is fair and is sustainably harvested from the wild.
Spreading the Pukka love
In the case of elder, there is minimal risk of over-exploitation. The main value of FairWild certification is in providing assurance that the collectors are fairly paid, and perhaps most importantly, that there is no discrimination between different ethnic groups.
In a society that was so deeply divided in relatively recent times, treating everyone equally is of utmost importance. The project we work with has gone one step further, and is actively trying to promote reconciliation by supporting ethnic minorities in remote areas.
In many ways, the elder is a potent symbol of regeneration. Traditionally associated with warding off evil, it now grows out of the ruins of conflict, transforming places of despair into something far more hopeful.
Next time you drink a cup of Love tea, take a moment to remember this story and reflect on the power of good intention and the ripple effects of a simple gift of love.

In looking at some of Stanley Kubrick's photos of New York and its people from the 1940s (see here), it reminded me of the ways photographers sometimes try to capture movement. Often this is because it's felt that photography is restricted to the present moment, that it's stuck in the instant. Cinema on the other hand is thought to capture movement, and therefore time as well as space.

Sedalia provides access to the Internet through the Missouri Research and Education Network (MOREnet), an electronic information network serving public libraries, educational institutions, and governmental agencies. As a member of MOREnet, the library must conform to its use policy.
Acceptable Use: All Internet use shall be for research, education, local, state or governmental affairs, economic development, or public service.
Unacceptable Use: It is not acceptable to use the Internet for purposes that violate any federal or state law. It is not acceptable to use it in a manner that is harmful or harassing to others. Any use that disrupts normal network use and service is prohibited. This would include such things as introducing computer viruses, violation of personal privacy, and the unauthorized access to protected and private network resources. It is not acceptable to use MOREnet for commercial solicitation of business.
Ultimate responsibility for the proper use and misuse of the Internet lies with each individual user. Parents and/or guardians may be held accountable for inappropriate or illegal use by their child or children.
Because the library has a limited number of computers for use by a potentially large number of individuals needing to use them, access may be limited to a specified amount of time per day. These limitations will be posted at the network site.
Email accounts through MOREnet are not available to the public due to the restricted number of addresses provided to the library.
The library will periodically remove any material stored in files to which users have access in order to free up space for other users.
Because of the many individuals, organizations, businesses, etc. which provide information on the Internet, Sedalia Public Library cannot, and does not, warrantee that such information is true and valid, nor shall it be liable for any direct or indirect, incidental, or consequential damages (including lost data, information, or profits) sustained in the use or inability to use the system.
The library will make every effort to keep the system operating; however, because so many individuals with differing degrees of computer competency use the equipment, there will be times when the system and/or equipment is �down�. The library assumes no responsibility for lost information, time, or money by the user.
Rules and regulations of system usage may be changed from time to time by the library and/or the network and will be posted by the library. Users of the system are subject to these changed rules and regulations.
Safety Tips: The best way to ensure your child�s safety on the Internet is to be there. Of course, that is not always possible. Just as you teach your child rules about dealing with strangers outside the home, you must provide rules of communicating online.
Always ask your parents� permission before using your full name, address, telephone number, or school name anywhere on the Internet.
Always tell your parents or other adults you trust if you see something online that is scary or that you don�t understand.
Don�t respond to messages that make you feel uncomfortable or uneasy.
Never arrange to meet in person someone you�ve met online unless you discuss it with your parents and an adult goes with you.
If you have a home computer, a number of software filters are available to block websites you may not want your child to visit. Parents need to understand that filters are not perfect. They cannot block everything you might not want your child to see and they may block information that is helpful. Even if filters were 100 percent effective, this software is no substitute for parental guidance.
The Internet, a world-wide network of computer networks is an essential medium for obtaining and transmitting information of all types. Therefore, public access to the Internet is germane to the Library's mission.

like to sponsor or help the tour?
The #LegalizeIt national film tour is consciously designed to crack hearts open, create conversations, and passionately advocate in a way that shifts a conversation to legalize this miraculous plant.
The LegalizeIt tour goes from August until mid-term election voting day: Nov. 6, 2018; see the tour dates and join us, or help us host an event in your area!
The national tour of #Legalizeit advocates the many medicinal benefits of cannabis; we hope the film will save lives, bring communities together, reflect the "new normal" in a prohibitionist world.
good influence and the ability to manage an event with grace and ease!
Our goal is to show our documentary, coupled with powerful shorts and episodes from our series that inspire our audiences to become local advocates to get the word out and VOTE to help legalize Cannabis in prohibitionist states, and to move towards pro-cannabis measures in key states. We look forward to seeing you all on the green carpet!
>> We share personal stories about lives saved when doctors gave up.
>> It's about vets who can't sleep because s/he comes back home still at war, tortured with PTSD. The antiquated VA and the pharma bought government pushes addictive pills. If vets use use cannabis, they lose their benefits - yet these vets are told they fight for freedom.
>> We share stories about moms with children suffering from cancer or epilepsy who are given drugs by trusted doctors that make their children homicidal, suicidal, and are told that is normal. That's the best we have available? Really?
>> Did you know that the moms are told that if they don't give their children chemotherapy and radiation they will go to jail and the child will be taken and forced to do the chemo. Chemo is derived from mustard gas. It's poison prescribed by doctors who profit from the recommendation.
>> We feature professional athletes as they fight against addiction to pain killers and dealing with brain disorders.
The stories are raw, emotional, revealing, frightening and inspiring.
This tour gives a needed and profound voice to why we need to #legalizeit.
The stories are the heart of this multi-billion dollar Federally illegal industry.
On the road we will be interviewing audience members and live streaming new stories and sharing them on FB and Youtube live, with compelling stories edited for major distribution on Amazon Prime, Comcast, and beyond so that millions of people experience the stories to help us to #legalizeit.
Brought to you by the dynamic duo behind The Marijuana Show; Wendy Robbins; the two-time Emmy award winning Director, and Karen Paull, the former VP of Snapfish and Broadway Producer, the documentary his high production value, a strong message and just 100 days from mid-term elections, this is a film both producers are passionate about sharing to get out the vote.
Anyone passionate about this cause, get in touch to become a City Host and join our team.
We share profits and are sharing the abundance; we are passionate about this cause.
After watching friends suffer through chemotherapy treatment because of their breast cancer, we all began to research alternatives. After a lot of research we realized that cannabis was healing people with cancer, epilepsy and chronic pain so we then shared this info with our friends and family. We found out that around 100 million suffer from chronic pain and yet there are so many people are afraid of cannabis.
That is when we made it our mission and our calling to educate, advocate and help to legalize it sharing stories, and videos. We also found out that because it's Federally illegal in the USA, there is no banking available for ganjapreneurs. There was also no real mentorship available and being business coaches, and a two time Emmy award winning filmmaker, we decided to produce The Marijuana Show.


I am but an ordinary Man. The Times alone have destined me to Fame–and even these have not been able to give me, much. . . . Yet some great Events, some cutting Expressions, some mean Hypocrisies, have at Times, thrown this Assemblage of Sloth, Sleep, and littleness into Rage a little like a Lion.

"Will expand mentoring programs that pair experienced teachers with new recruits. They will also provide incentives to give teachers paid common planning time so they can collaborate to share best practices."
By Adam Offitzer on Monday, March 12th, 2012 at 10:43 a.m.
President Barack Obama"s rhetoric on education has consistently called for the expansion of mentoring programs in schools across the country. Have his policies matched his words?
We found that mentor programs have been a factor in multiple competitive grant programs implemented by the Obama administration. Nine of 12 states chosen as Race To The Top winners included some form of mentoring program in their proposals.
Rhode Island, for instance, has established a program with "17 induction coaches working with 262 beginning teachers," said Elliot Krieger, a spokesman for the state"s Department of Education, in an email. Rhode Island"s program is "fully funded" by its Race to the Top grant. "We intend to continue our mentoring program and to expand the program next year to include second-year educators in some districts," Krieger said.
Additionally, the re-established Teacher Incentive Fund incorporated mentoring programs as criteria for grant winners. At least 37 of 62 TIF recipients in 2010 specifically mentioned mentoring initiatives in their grant proposals.
Along with his promise about mentors, Obama promised incentives for schools that provide teachers with more planning time. Although this is part of the administration"s $5 billion RESPECT (Recognizing Education Success, Professional Excellence and Collaborative Teaching) initiative, RESPECT hasn"t been adopted yet.
Race to the Top, which received stimulus spending, also called for increased planning time in its criteria, saying applications with plans for "professional development, time for common planning and collaboration" would be prioritized.
However, the only substantial instance of Race to the Top-funded teacher planning time we found was in the Delaware school system, which established a weekly 90 minutes of collaborative planning time in its schools.
"Teachers are now required to assemble each week with assigned data coaches to peruse data, identify areas of strengths and opportunities for growth," said Delaware Secretary of Education Lillian Lowery in an e-mail.
In its year one report, the District of Columbia's school system says it"s planning to create shared planning time in the years to come.
The Obama administration lived up to its promise to "provide incentives for more planning time" by including it as criteria in Race To The Top. As for the promise to "expand mentoring programs," mentor programs have indeed been expanded or created as a result of the administration"s policies. We rate this a Promise Kept.

Race To The Top Program Executive Summary, Department of Education.
"Common Planning Time For Teachers," Delaware Online, 10/27/11.
By Robert Farley on Monday, November 9th, 2009 at 4:08 p.m.
President Barack Obama has packed a number of his campaign promises related to education into his "Race to the Top" program, which seeks to encourage innovative approaches to teaching and learning by having states compete for $4.35 billion worth of grants from the Department of Education. The program was funded through the Obama-backed economic stimulus package approved by Congress in February.
In a speech in Madison, Wis., on Nov. 4, Obama announced the criteria for states to win the grants. One of the goals, Obama said, is to create "alternate pathways to teaching for talented young people," and he specifically cited as an example a program in Boston "where aspiring teachers work side-by-side with effective mentors in a yearlong residency."
A notice from the Department of Education inviting applications talks about priority being given to states that provide effective support to teachers, and specifically mentions as examples "professional development, time for common planning and collaboration."
That sounds to us like what Obama promised he would encourage if elected president.
Competition for the grants will be conducted in two rounds -- the first starting this month and the second in June next year -- with winners announced in April and September next year.
But by establishing a competitive grant program that encourages teacher mentor programs and paid planning time for teachers so they can collaborate to share best practices, we think that moves this promise to In the Works.

Standing proudly by the River Mersey is the town of Birkenhead, though not perhaps as well known as Liverpool, its over the water neighbour, it does have many an interesting corner and a history all of it's own.
BIRKENHEAD. Hamilton Square, just so you know where you are. You can also catch a glimpse of the wrought iron on the balconies and the heavily incised stonework, theses things were done with a certain panache back then.
I hadn't been over that way for a little while so I freed up a day and took the train into Liverpool and out again, under the Mersey to Hamilton Square station at Birkenhead.
BIRKENHEAD. Hamilton Square, looking across the square towards the Town Hall and the Cenotaph.
BIRKENHEAD. Hamilton Square station is on the Merseyrail Networks Wirral Line which loops under Liverpool city centre before headinbg under the river and out across the Wirral Peninsular. It runs along the northern edge of the peninsular to New Brighton, Hoylake and West Kirby as well as down to Chester and to Wrexham. The station dates from the mid 1860's and was heavily damaged in the Liverpool Blitz during WW2 being rebuilts after the end of hostilities. As the station is below street level the tower used to house the water tanks which powered the hydraulic lifts down to the platforms. The reference to frequent electric trains came about as the original locomotives used by the Victorian builders of the line, the Mersey Railway, were steam powered, which could make the journey unpleasant to the point of terrifying.
The Square has the elegance of a bygone age, reflecting the rise of the shipbuilding wealth which transformed the town through the late Georgian and Victorian times. The Square sits just above the Woodside Ferry landing stage and forms an impressive entrance to Birkenhead, though the main shopping area is now a very short walk away which gives the Square a slightly isolated feel. However the plus side of this is that it gives the area a peaceful air.
BIRKENHEAD. Hamilton Square, the Town Hall. Back to an era when one expression of civic pride involved columns, coats of arms and elegant lamps.
BIRKENHEAD. Hamilton Square, the Town Hall, to light you on your way, not only function but elegant with it. These lamps stand on the steps up to the main entrance.
My plan for the day was to walk around the Square and then make my way over to Birkenhead Park on the opposite side of the town centre. I'll get to that in the next post.
BIRKENHEAD. Hamilton Square, the gardens. The laying out of the Square was begun in the 1820's by an architect from Edinburgh, Gillespie Graham and it has a liitle of the look of Edinburgh's Georgian New Town. Three sides of the Square are made up of non identical rows, while the fourth side is occupied by the stately Birkenhead Town Hall.
BIRKENHEAD. Hamilton Square, at the centre of the Square's gardens is the memorial to Queen Victoria.
BIRKENHEAD. The trees are starting to loose their Autumnal finery in readiness for the coming Winter.
BIRKENHEAD. Hamilton Square, one side of the Square showing the imposing frontages with the tower of the nearby railway station peeking coyly out above the roofs.
BIRKENHEAD. Hamilton Square, a lamp standard.
BIRKENHEAD. Hamilton Square, looking from the Cenotaph towards the Queen Victoria memorial.
BIRKENHEAD. Hamilton Square, looking across the Town Hall frontage towards the tower of the railway station. The square forms and impressive entrance to this part of the town from the Woodside Pier, a landing stage for the Mersey Ferries, which lies just beyond the railway station.
As I'd planned two posts on the day I made the decision to post this in black and white which I felt suited the architecture better and the follow up on the Park in colour.

Hi thanks for making this hack, Sagi! I've been playing it for a few days and have enjoyed it a lot. One issue that I've encountered though is that great shield doesn't seem to be inherited by Ayra's children (oddly enough Celice seemed to inherit it though). Edit: Another issue I've just encountered is that Celice doesn't receive the Hero Ring from the Ch. 10 conversation, but instead gets a duplicate Storm tome.

est un langage de programmation, conçu de 1942 à 1946 par l'Allemand Konrad Zuse. À l'époque, Zuse ne fit aucune communication scientifique à ce sujet, pour diverses raisons : la Seconde Guerre mondiale faisait rage, et il consacrait tous ses efforts à la conception et à la commercialisation de son ordinateur, le Zuse 3.

La première publication mentionnant Plankalkül date de 1948. En 1975, il fut décrit et implémenté à l'occasion de la thèse de J. Hohmann. Le premier compilateur, proposé par l'université libre de Berlin, a été achevé en 2000, soit cinq ans après la mort de Zuse.

Description

D'après Zuse,  est le premier langage de haut niveau.

Ce langage eut pourtant le même destin malheureux que son créateur : ainsi il était extrêmement innovant, mais en dehors du courant principal, mondial, du développement de l'informatique. Il demeura donc très largement inconnu.

Ce langage présente une innovation rare, voire unique, pour un langage informatique : les programmes s'écrivent en deux dimensions, de la même façon que la notation algébrique. Il est donc plus proche des traditions du plan et de la formule que de celles de la prose et du récit.

Pour ces raisons, certains le rapprochent même des langages à objet dont il serait un ancêtre, à un niveau intermédiaire entre ces derniers et l'algèbre classique.

Exemple

Le programme ci-dessous calcule le maximum de trois variables en appelant la fonction max :

 P1 max3 (V0[:8.0], V1[:8.0], V2[:8.0]) => R0[:8.0]
 max(V0[:8.0], V1[:8.0]) => Z1[:8.0]
 max(Z1[:8.0], V2[:8.0]) => R0[:8.0]
 END
 P2 max (V0[:8.0], V1[:8.0]) => R0[:8.0]
 V0[:8.0] => Z1[:8.0]
 (Z1[:8.0] < V1[:8.0]) → V1[:8.0] => Z1[:8.0]
 Z1[:8.0] => R0[:8.0]
 END

"Something there is that doesn't love a wall,
That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,
And spills the upper boulders in the sun,
And makes gaps even two can pass abreast."
Frost, "Mending Wall"
While private ownership is relatively new to modern China, privacy is not. I doubt there is a country with more walls than China. There are few more tangible reminders of the insularity of Chinese politics, history, culture, relationships, psyche than the ubiquitous cement walls that divide and subdivide each city block and therefore, divide people. Chain link fences these are not. They are, bare minimum, seven to ten feet of solid concrete or steel bars, crowned with broken glass, metal spikes, or barbed wire (if you're lucky). Cheever could never have written The Swimmer here, or, if he had, his swimmer would have had to carry a grappling hook with him from backyard to backyard rather than cocktails (sorry for the obscure reference, blame The Onion and its recent hilarious article on Cheever).
If it seems that I'm reaching for a topic on what is only my second post, I can explain. I live in a small, two-building apartment complex that occupies a tiny niche on the east side of a China-sized city block. The complex has two entrances: the east gate and the west gate. Sounds simple enough, but there's a catch. The west gate is open twenty-four hours. The east gate is not. It's a five-minute walk from the subway to the east gate, but since the north and south sides of our wall are sandwiched between other buildings, you can't just walk around the apartment complex to the other side. To get to the west gate, you have to walk over a mile to the west side of the block and then sneak back through the middle of the block like it's the Death Star. I've actually taken a taxi twice from the east gate to the west gate. When the driver asks me where I'm going, I point out the car window at my apartment, curse politely, and then say, "There."
When the east gate is open, it's about as predictable as the DMV. It was closed this morning at 10:30. Frustrated, I asked the guardian of the west gate what the east gate hours were.
He lisped back to me, "It's open at seven. It's closed from twelve to one for lunch, and then closes for the night at nine."
"It's closed right now and it's ten-thirty."
"Yes, that's true."
I waited five seconds. He seemed satisfied with his answer, so I didn't pursue it any further.
A few days ago, I posted some pictures of Beijing hutongs: small-alleyed villages, really, that sit in the center of the city. They sprawl all over the downtown—behind, in front of, and around the ancient sites and glassy skyscrapers that dominate the city's skyline. There's a ton of life in the hutongs, and sentimental folk, perhaps disproportionately of the white persuasion, get pretty frustrated with the idea that many are being torn down—razed as an offering to modernity. I haven't quite formed an opinion on this yet (mostly because mine doesn't matter), but I think a nuanced conversation I had with my friend Ian might be of service. Ian was in Hong Kong at the time...we were on gchat...which I was accessing on my laptop...which was using wireless internet service… from a very trendy coffee shop… in what used to be a hutong.
"Me: i think i want to live in a hutong
Ian: i knew a guy who did that
me: how'd it go for him?
Ian: kind of a jerk*
me: i'd hope to do it without the jerkiness*
Ian: kind of hard
me: really? why? i'm liking living with old retirees right now. would it have to be different?
Ian: i dunno
yes its "culturally" interesting
but i bet a lot of those people would want a nicer apartment too
it's kidn of like you're slumming
me: true..."
The (de)construction's happening regardless of if I can run across China to raise money to save the hutongs or not, so I'm going to connect this digression to the wall conversation.
Anytime there's a construction site in China, there will be walls around it. Anytime there are walls around it, there will be some sort of propaganda on those walls. I found the propaganda on the hutongs interesting because it makes more concessions than most wall writing, underlying the controversial nature of the destruction/renovation of the hutongs. A few of the more interesting ones were as follows: "BRING ABOUT A SUN-SHINY TRANSITION;" "IMPROVE/PROTECT THE ALREADY BEAUTIFUL ENVIRONMENT;" and my personal favorite (posted above), "FAIR, OPEN, AND IMPARTIAL."
That last one really struck me, for the wall dost protest too much. Rarely have I seen a wall feeling the need to laud the procedural legitimacy of its own existence. Fairness is usually implied. There's too much stuff to tear down and build back up in this country for prolonged, open debate on every ache and pain some local has about a demolition project. Normally the stenciled writing on the construction walls says something like "GREEN CITIES AND BLUE SKIES FOR EVERYONE," "HELP OLD/DISABLED PEOPLE," or "LET'S BUILD A CULTURED CITY." Makes one wonder if in some bureau they've got packs of controversial stencils, sort-of-controversial stencils, and completely-uncontroversial stencils.
Either way, my wholly unsubstantiated judgment is that the Beijing government is quite aware of the dilemma of tearing down one of the sweetest parts of the city simply because it's old, unhygienic and lacking basic infrastructure.
"Something there is that doesn't love a wall, That wants it down."
There are a lot of walls in China, and a lot of things written on them and hidden behind them as well. But something troubles me about extending the metaphor.
In my experience, Chinese insularity doesn't push much past etiquette, an etiquette that is easily—often willingly—discarded. On a deeper level, many Chinese are just waiting to whisper great personal secrets if given a chance. Of course, this may or may not be alcohol induced. This is true on the international level as well. There is a great longing for communication with the West, for acceptance. That's obvious when you talk to many Chinese who complain that the Opening Ceremony itself was made for the West, not for Chinese people. I've had government officials and taxi drivers tell me the same thing. They're sick of the old stuff- they want to talk about New China. It's all "too much history that we know already.'' (Some of that might be self-deprecation. They know it was an unreal ceremony, and therefore saying anything complimentary about it at all would certainly be bragging.)
Yet it's still a longing for acceptance that has to overcome quite a lot: a language that isn't easy to translate into or out of, centuries of mistrust and Western domination, a huge population --and the concomitant self-confidence and unselfconciousness that come with being part of a "majority culture"-- that intimidates non-Chinese and provides easy cover for Chinese spooked by unsuccessful attempts to communicate with foreigners. But that longing is still there. It's as if, behind each wall in China, there's a person sitting there with a sledgehammer just waiting for the go-ahead to destroy it; one just has to give them that chance – and guarantee that they'll have someone to welcome them on the other side.
I think, at bottom, that's why I came to China, it's why I learned Chinese, and why I'm so addicted to this place. Amazing things can happen when you can help someone get past superficial stuff like everything that makes you you and them them.
Anyway, I hope they destroy the wall that separates my east and west gates first.

Q: socket read() hanging So, I'm trying to play around with sockets, but my read() call keeps hanging. I'm connecting to a random web page (e.g. yahoo.com) on port 80. My output is showing that I'm writing 5 bytes, but I'm not getting anything in return. Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong?
portno = 80;
sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
if (sockfd < 0) {printf("could not open socket\n");}

server = gethostbyname("yahoo.com");
if (server == NULL)
{
    printf("could not get hostbyname\n");
    exit(0);
}

printf("Server name:%s\n",server->h_name);

bzero((char *) &serv_addr, sizeof(serv_addr));

serv_addr.sin_family = AF_INET;

bcopy((char *)server->h_addr,   (char *)&serv_addr.sin_addr.s_addr, server->h_length);
serv_addr.sin_port = htons(portno);

if (connect(sockfd,(struct sockaddr *) &serv_addr,sizeof(serv_addr)) < 0)
{
    printf("connect error\n");
}
char buffer[1000];
strcpy(buffer,"GET \\");
printf("bytes in command:%d\n",sizeof(buffer));
n = write(sockfd,buffer,strlen(buffer));
if(n <= 0){printf("could not get page:\n");}
printf("Bytes that where writen:%d\n", n);

printf("reading from socket\n");
n = read(sockfd,buffer,sizeof(buffer));
printf("bytes that where read:%d",n);

A: Your HTTP protocol is not complete enough. Use this...
strcpy(buffer,"GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHostname:www.yahoo.com\r\n\r\n");

You must specify the "GET" and filename, the HTTP version, the Hostname, and two new lines to indicate the header is done. The server expects you to complete the header before it starts sending anything. This is why your call to read() is stalling. Take a look at the Client Request example on the HTTP article on Wikipedia.

The lean aristocratic man in period clothes and his equally lanky German shepherd dog know what they are doing – he is the visitor from Arthurian legend, and the dog walks in front to guard him against modernism. But they can't really upstage the ultimate kaleidoscope – Camden Town.
Camden High Street holds the only keys to sixties mania, strewn as it is by post-modern curiosity shops whose farcical, hyperbolic signs and insignias are worthy of a Dali study. But nothing beats Camden Market proper for lasting impressions. The retro trail leads to it, though it nestles just beyond the canal, at Camden Lock – fulcrum of the ever-evolving cultural experiment. It's functioning watergate and flotilla of canal boats can hold one spellbound for hours.
The sun seems to stand still at Camden Market, maybe because it favours a sunny dateline for most of its wares. Except, its abundant food fare is mainly Far Eastern, Chinese, Japanese and Taiwanese, and some Indian and North African – What else?
T he market may be split into two loose sections; the two-floor indoor arena with its more stylised packaging and exhilarating, vaulted ceiling, and the cobble-stoned alfresco area which winds round the sides and back of the former then breaks into the courtyard of the ancient stables. The indoor arena houses in its main hall and lock-up units the best in exotica, curios, fine art prints, handmade ornaments, rare music, books, and all that matters to aficionados of the modern hip. This parti-colour canvas is even more mind-blowing if viewed from the top floor balcony (or gallery). It is also an exciting rain refuge, though you will have bought the place by the time the rain peters away.
The stables area for its part is a web of old warehouses, arches and vestibules filled with secondhand clothing and wares from pre-WWII to the 60s, a leit motif of 'ethic goods', a soothing admixture of funk (mainly funk), a cacophony of amateur African drumming, and a sweet, dank smell. Out in the open are tightly arranged food stalls manned by chatty healthy looking Far-Easterners, who tease you with alluring bits of food on ladles. Their subtle alacrity suffuses trade with its charming nasal timbre, and their smiles are imprisoning.
The food is cheap (from £2.50) and glorious in taste, though choosing what to eat is like solving a jigsaw puzzle, so you end up piling quite a precipitous combination on a paper plate. Tally past 5pm, and you will harvest the same heap for £1.50.
Here and there, you are faced with the increasing 'spiritualisation' of the First World; mini temples and stalls of Asiatic consciousness punctuate the stalls, and joss sticks of varying piquancy stroke your chakras, aided by the sacramental phantasmagoria and talismans. But there are also the darkened hubs of Goth that strive to assert awe with skulls, orbs, glowing eyeballs, chains and spikes, and ripped 'fashionalia'. And they, too, have competition from the occasional palm and tarot reader hunched earnestly over one astral divination or the other. Vortex.
The architecture of this dream bazaar reminds one instantly of Oliver, the musical, what with the elevated railway line running along its back like a borderline between worlds; ours being the liberated one. The old warehouses recycle themselves almost weekly, playing host to this and that concept or process, till something resembling permanence finally emerges. Case in point is the market's Avant Garde gallery, which towers above proceedings like a watermill. It is approachable by stone steps, which sometimes doubles as a sculpture trail.
The evolution of this part of the market is so swift that each photograph taken here is a historical document never to be repeated again. For sheer theatrical refrain, Camden Market offers its best cameo parts to it numerous mannequins. The whole thing feels like animism, given their near-sentient manners and gestures. They may peer at you from unique angles, or just hold fort like totems, but they will always shock you with their acute dress sense, surrealism and humour. The whole thing is a great art form – let's just call it mannequinism (or manikinism).
What started as a weekend market is slowly becoming a daily one, maybe because the punters keep hanging around longer and longer, wishing to fall in love over and over gain. It may also be because Camden Market is the only comprehensive window onto the worlds beyond London. It is our cultural Crystal Palace expo.
But, like all hip places, Camden has an underbelly. It comes in all forms, except open sexual depravity. Brixton may have been the first to host the relaxation of marijuana laws, but Camden's users had long presumed it relaxed. The accoutrements for marijuana consumption, and those for less sedate narcotics, are sold openly everywhere, rubbing shoulders with grandly decorated Arab hookahs, but the actual poisons are traded only by sleight of hand by fiery eyed dudes along the pavements and the sidewalks of the Victorian iron bridge.
Watching this adroit underworld at work can be a pastime in its own right, though you may attract a sickening proposition. Locals rail against the pushers, and everyone seems to believe they come from outside Camden. The town's local newspaper, New Camden Journal, is at the forefront of the campaign to rid the place of them, and they are winning.
Camden also has more than its fair share of homeless people. News is, Camden Council's housing list is over subscribed, and so these hapless folk huddle in corners along the high street, facing their ignominy in silence. The beggars overwhelm them with their earnestness, taking over their identity, accosting ATM users like pussycats, diminishing their plights.
The last few years have been quite troubling for the town. One of its notables, Victorian artist Walter Sickert, has been resurrected for scrutiny by modern Jack-the-Ripper investigators, and in the winter of 2002, Anthony Hardy (The Camden Ripper) invoked the ancient spectre, as if by copycat appointment.
But Camden cannot really be turned into a typical inner city milieu. It is just too stylish. The Jazz Cafe, in Parkway, is the most up-to-date joint this side of London's West End; the newly refurbished KOKO discotheque draws in the most passionate youth revelers in London; and Parkway is also probably the best 200-yard watering hole in the world.
The culinary delights of Camden Market reach their apotheosis in Parkway, underpinned by the coolest selection of pubs in Camden, not to mention the legendary Fresh & Wild, an organic foods and remedies superstore and café. And Proud Gallery's Camden branch is the ultimate pop photography grotto.
If Camden's fervour has any flaw at all, it is that the Highways Authority does not budge an inch for the market, causing a chaotic melee between humans and cars, and the fashion shops are largely the preserve of the trendy and iconoclastic. The styles range from the over-elaborate to the bizarre, though the patient conservative shopper can still pull out a classic gem from under the high heeled men's boots and punk regalia. Nevertheless, Camden is conceivably the T-shirts capital of the world. It also sells enough militaria to kit out an entire rogue junta.
But modern and funky though Camden is, it lacks poetry (spoken poetry, that is). The last poetry shop/venue was closed down a while ago. Word is, the borough council's exorbitant business rates were crucial in it demise. There are no poetry clubs of note anymore, although some of Britain's best writers live within a five-mile radius of the town centre.
However, as if to make up for the dearth, the town's graffiti art bears exciting lucidity, radicalism and ingenuity, referencing the enchanted aura of the market, echoing the 'unshorn' rhythms of the townsfolk – a living poesy, despite the aloof glances of that Arthurian stroller and his guard dog.

Kracke v Mental Health Review Board (VCAT) - Nov 2008
This was an appeal to VCAT against the decision of the Mental Health Review Board.
The main issue was whether the failure of the Board to conduct a review of Mr Kracke's community treatment order as required under the Mental Health Act 1986 meant that order was invalid. The Board's conclusion was that while the failure to review was extremely regrettable, it did not invalidate the order. The Board therefore determined that the appellant's treatment as an involuntary patient was in accordance with the Act.
The Commission made submissions that the Board was acting in an administrative capacity when conducting hearings under the Mental Health Act 1986 and required to act compatibly with human rights.
VCAT considered that both the Board and itself were acting in an administrative capacity when reviewing Community Treatment Orders under the Act and, as public authorities, were obliged to act compatibly with human rights under section 38 of the Charter. VCAT held that the Board's failure to review the treatment order within the period required by the Act was a breach of Mr Kracke's rights under the Charter. In particular, the circumstances of the case engaged Mr Kracke's rights to freedom from medical treatment without his full, free and informed consent (section 10(c)), to freedom of movement (section 12) to privacy (section 13(a)), to liberty (section 21), and to a fair hearing (section 24(1)).

The advantage of homemade candies is that you precisely know the ingredients you use, so there would be no unhealthy hydrogenated fats that are usually put into manufactured candies and sweets.
Put butter and condensed milk in a bowl and a water bath and melt, stirring regularly.
Then add coconut flakes and stir everything thoroughly for about 3-4 minutes.
Then remove the bowl from the water bath and put in a cool place for an hour.
Whisk Mascarpone or cream with three tablespoonfuls of honey and combine the mixture with cooled coconut mixture and whisk everything together.
Roast almond nuts in an oven or in a frying pan.
Insert an almond nut into a small portion of coconut mixture and form balls. Then roll the balls in dry coconut flakes.
Arrange nicely on a serving plate and place in a cool place.
Wait 3-4 hours and serve.


Here are 5 brilliant places to eat in Ljubljana, Slovenia – both restaurants and cafes. We ate really well and really cheaply during our short break in the city, which you can read about in our post all about Ljubljana. I thought I'd list our favourite Ljubljana restaurants and food separately from our guide to the city, because the food was so good that it deserves its own post. They all have veggie or pescetarian options (which is what we eat most of the time), but almost all served meat too. Not once did we eat anything crap and we always felt like we'd got really good value for money.
Pri Skofu was probably our favourite place we ate during our stay in Ljubljana.
The restaurant was really cosy, full of locals, and served the best homemade pasta either of us have ever had. It's located down a side street on the edge of a residential area and I think the fact it's a bit tucked away helped keep too many tourists away. We really liked the cute illustration of Ljubljana on the back wall too – especially the sausage dog.
The menu was fairly small – always a good sign – but had plenty of veggie and pescetarian options. We had the soup of the day and some local cheese dumplings to start, then the mushroom tagliatelle and the gnocchi. The desserts looked amazing but this was our last night and I was feeling obese so managed to hold off.
Ek Bistro is a very cool little restaurant. The interior is stunning – all exposed brick, marble tables and fresh flowers everywhere – and perfect for an Instagram shot! But more importantly, the food was excellent.
On our last morning, we came here for brunch before our river cruise (which you can read about in our main Ljubljana post). I had eggs royale (the smoked salmon version of Benedict) and Chris had a shakshuka (baked eggs in tomato and chilli). The homemade bread that came with it was spot on.
Organic Garden is a little chain of cafés serving vegan breakfast/brunch/lunch options. We try to eat vegan a lot of the time so this was a gem for us. It was also very affordable and you could tell they'd put a lot of thought into the menu – no boring falafel wraps here.
We had soup and a salad for lunch along with some green tea. So far, so healthy.
Then we ended up being unable to resist this excellent raw vegan cake with coconut and pistachio. You know when a cake is all lovely and cold in the middle? That.
TaBar is beautiful modern tapas restaurant. If we'd had longer, we might even have gone back again to try other things on the menu. Every holiday we go on, we have one 'treat' meal, which tends to be a bit posher and pricier. This was it. All of it was exceptional quality and dishes started at €4.50 (from what I remember) so it was really good value considering how fancy it was (but not in a pretentious way). We've paid a lot more in other cities for bad quality tapas.
We had: roe deer chuck with Chinese cabbage and cranberries (our one meat for the week as we don't normally eat it), mackerel with basil, octopus with dry tomatoes and thyme, rainbow trout with coriander, potatoes with olives, and baby lettuce with hazelnuts and figs. And a dessert, which was an ice cream special – I think this changes all the time.
OOH and we tried Slovenian orange wine here for the first time. Yes, orange. It was delicious and I generally don't even like wine. Interestingly, our tour guide on the free walking tour said that Slovenia makes loads of brilliant alcohol but they hardly export any. Fair enough. I'd drink it all myself too. But yes, orange wine. 10/10 for that. You have to try it if you go.
Last but not least, Pizzeria FoculuS was the restaurant we ate at on our first evening in Ljubljana. Unfortunately for my photography, it was quite dark inside so this is the best shot I got. It doesn't do the pizzas justice.
I think our pizzas were about €8 each, which was a bargain. They could have fed a small country. We shared two different pizzas – anchovies for our pescetarian option and hummus and artichoke for our veggie option. Both were huge, with generous toppings. We also had some local beer to wash them down. All in all, it was lovely honest food – and again, we managed to be the only tourists in there, which is always a good thing. They also had a TV showing 80s music videos. Paul Simon – Call Me Al was the perfect backing music for eating pizza.
This was the only place we wandered into (after a quick check on TripAdvisor). Everything else we'd already noted as options on our map (see our travel planning tips for more on that!).
