Q: Probability of quadratic equation having real roots What is the probability of quadratic equation $x^2 + 2px + q = 0$ having real roots if we choose p and q randomly from the interval $[-1; 1]$ ?
I know that in order for the following equation to have real roots, inequality $p^2 \geq q$ must be valid
and if q is negative (probability $\frac{1}{2}$),  $p^2$ is always more than $p$ but what about the positive half ?
I got that the possibility is $\frac{4 - \sqrt{2})}{4}$ but I'm really not sure.

A:
Calculate the area of the shaded region. What is this as a ratio of the whole square ?

A: For remainder integrate $$y=x^2$$ over the span (-1,1). Its equal to 2/3.So you final answer is equal to (2+2/3)/4 or 2/3

A: The equation has real roots if and only if the discriminant $d = (2p)^2 - 4q \ge 0$, or equivalently, $q \le p^2$.

Since the point $(p,q)$ is randomly chosen from square region $S$ defined by
\begin{align*}
&-1\le p \le 1\\[4pt]
&-1 \le q \le 1\\[4pt]
\end{align*}
in the $pq$-plane, the required probability is the area of $D$ divided by the area of $S$, where $D$ is the subregion of $S$ between the line $q = -1$ and the parabola $q=p^2$.

It follows that the area of $D$ is the value the integral
$$\int_{-1}^1\;\left(p^2 - (-1)\right)\,dp$$
and of course, the area of $S$ is just the area of a $2{\,\times\,}2$ square.

Timekeeping is not closely monitored.
Some think that the minimum salary levels for exempt employees can be pro-rated if they're part-time.
A first instinct is to find a way to reclassify employees from non-exempt to exempt or vice versa, whichever is financially advantageous to the church.
Some think merely paying an employee a salary of $47,476 qualifies them as exempt. This is not true.
Some believe the 40-hour requirement is an average of the weeks in a pay period instead of applying it to individual work weeks.
Classify employees as exempt or non-exempt, not salary or hourly.
Pay attention to how many hours, employees work each week and keep it to 40 or less. Where applicable, be prepared to pay overtime as it is legally required and ethically responsible to do.
The law errs on the side of assuming employees are non-exempt. Unless you can confidently demonstrate otherwise, assume your employees are non-exempt. Overreach on classification at your own risk.
Engage your SPRC in a review of your church's practices and policies.

Should You Speed Up Your Mortgage Payoff?
Homeowers today are building significant equity during the first few years of homeownership.
Home values are increasing by more than five percent per year nationwide, according to a recent Federal Housing Finance Agency report. That's like getting a check in the mail each year for $13,000, just for living in the typical U.S. home.
However, homeowners don't build much equity by paying down loan principal the first few years of their mortgage.
On a $250,000 home loan, the homeowner reduces her principal by $400 each month during the first year, assuming current mortgage rates.
If the mortgage were a stack of playing cards ten feet tall, each payment would reduce its height by only one-fifth of an inch — the equivalent of 17 cards.
Thankfully, principal reduction picks up speed after a few years, and homeowners who choose a 15-year loan start paying big chunks of principal immediately.
But it's no wonder most new (and experienced) homeowners want to speed up the process.
Making extra payments toward your mortgage makes a lot of sense — sometimes. But for some, holding onto cash is actually a bigger priority.
Most homeowners would love to stop paying their monthly mortgages as soon as possible. However, it's often hard to justify spending more money today to be mortgage free in 25 years.
Fortunately, there are more immediate and important concerns when deciding to accelerate your mortgage repayment.
For many American households, home equity still makes up the bulk of their wealth. Researchers at Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies concluded that paying a mortgage forces families to save money that they would not otherwise.
The 2013 report concluded that homeowners experienced sizable gains in net wealth associated with owning, while renters saw few gains.
In other words, prepaying your mortgage speeds up your wealth-building goals.
Making regular payments on a mortgage is participating in "forced savings" — money you have to invest, but that you will likely receive later.
Additional payments adds to the amount of future returns.
It might take years before your monthly payments make a dent in your mortgage balance, but you can kick start that process with extra payments early on.
Your interest due each month depends on your principal balance. Reducing that number can significantly drop your lifetime loan costs.
For example, if you borrow $200,000 at four percent you'll pay nearly $145,000 in interest over thirty years.
By adding one hundred dollars per month to your payment, you save $27,000 and become mortgage-free almost five years sooner.
For many, the most compelling reason to make additional payments is purely psychological.
Having no mortgage, or a smaller one, causes many homeowners to feel more secure. Even if you experience an income interruption, the roof over your head is safe. Studies bear this out. Paying off debt can result in stress reduction, relief from fear, a sense of accomplishment, a boost in self-esteem and better physical health.
You can reduce your "debt stress" by paying down — or paying off — your mortgage.
There are only two reasons not to prepay your mortgage, but they are pretty big reasons.
"Opportunity cost" is when there may be more profitable things you can do with your money.
Mortgage rates are downright cheap.
And they get even cheaper when you factor in tax savings.
A mortgage at a three percent interest rate has an effective rate of about two percent after writing off mortgage interest when filing taxes. Even if you don't write off interest, mortgage financing is still the cheapest way to borrow.
You would pay an opportunity cost to prepay your two percent mortgage if you also had credit card debt at 15 percent.
Or if you could invest in the stock market, which has historically returned about seven percent.
It's probably short-sighted to prepay your mortgage if you have not maxed out your 401(k) plan, which comes with tax advantages and possibly a matching contribution from your employer.
Before paying your mortgage early, then, ask yourself if there is anything better you can do with the money.
There's a flipside to the "forced savings" argument — the reasoning that says putting money into your mortgage forces you to save instead of spend.
You could argue that, once you've put your money into your mortgage, it's difficult and expensive to get back.
Your lender won't just cut you a check if you want your prepaid mortgage principal back. You would have to borrow it back with a home equity loan, probably with some upfront fees and possibly at a higher rate than your current mortgage.
That's probably a good thing if the extra work and expense keeps you from a non-essential item, like buying a boat or adding to your shoe collection.
But the non-liquidity is not-so-good if you must tap into home equity for worthy causes — a child's college education or an emergency medical procedure.
Home equity is no substitute for an emergency fund. Once you have an emergency, like a job loss, you could miss a mortgage payment or deplete your savings. At that point, a home equity loan or refinance may be impossible.
In summary, consider waiting to prepay your mortgage until you have accomplished the following.
One strategy that works for many is to simply direct extra funds into a "mortgage payoff" account — something you can get at in an emergency, but not too easy to access otherwise.
Quietly build up that account until it equals your mortgage balance. At that point, you can retire your home loan and throw your mortgage retirement party.
Today's mortgage rates might allow you to make your current payment while dropping your loan balance faster.
For example, say you are paying $1,500 per month now, but your mortgage rate is higher that what is available today.
Assume a refinance drops your payment by $100 per month.
You could keep paying $1,500 after the refinance, and be making an additional $100 per month principal reduction while paying no more than you did before.
In this way, you can shorten the life of your mortgage, while keeping other savings and investment goals intact.
What's more, today's homeowners are finding that refinances don't have to be difficult. The FHA streamline refinance, for example, requires no appraisal and no income verification.
This refinance option was set up by FHA to make it easier to capitalize on falling mortgage rates.
A similar program is the VA streamline refinance, a VA-to-VA loan that requires no pay stubs, W2s, bank statements, or appraisal. This is the easiest refinance type found anywhere in the mortgage market.
The Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) is designed for homeowners with little or no home equity. Homeowners who have not yet recovered from the housing downturn of last decade can drop their rate and payment, when a traditional refinance is impossible.
For borrowers with decent credit and home equity, a standard conventional refinance could lower their rate and make paying off the loan faster and easier.
A conventional loan can replace any loan type and even cancel the homeowner's mortgage insurance. This expense alone can help a household save hundreds per month, or reinvest that amount into reducing loan principal.
Now is a good time to lower mortgage payments, and start reducing principal.
Low mortgage rates are making it easier to pay down mortgage balances quickly. Rates are holding near all-time lows, and homeowners are discovering new opportunities to lower housing costs.

In a context of financial deregulation and high price volatility for agricultural commodities, promoting competitive and sustainable agriculture has become a real challenge namely for French and European agri-food industries, which are under a huge pressure from emerging countries on the global market. How to build a 'common future' that will help make the French and European agri-food industry more competitive? This is a critical question at a time when there are strong dissensions in the agri-food sector, mainly in France.
We recommend reading the survey published by Frédéric Courleux and Marie-Sophie Dedieu from the Centre for Economic Study and Forecasting (CEP). The text below features excerpts1 selected from this survey. Frédéric Courleux and Marie-Sophie Dedieu propose a didactic approach, which provides an interesting insight on economic competitiveness, and further reviews the multiple determining factors underpinning the competitiveness of the agri-food industry, a major objective of the 2014-2020 CAP.
The factors determining competitiveness in the agri-food industry reveal a specific sector that cannot be apprehended through a linear approach, and whose stability and efficiency are based on the fine tuning of strategies aimed at boosting 'cost competitiveness' and 'non-price competitiveness' (innovations, differentiation, implementing economic indicators…).
In the end, it is the 'shared awareness of mutual dependence and non-cooperative strategies' paired with the implementation of regulatory mechanisms that will protect the agri-food sector: farmers, industrial players and consumers, against the high volatility of prices on the market for agricultural commodities.
In a context of increased competition and price volatility on the market for agricultural commodities, the competitiveness of the French agri-food industry is a recurring issue.
Apprehending this notion is nevertheless a sensitive question when taking into account its relative scope, as well as the contradictions that are likely to arise from gaining market shares in terms of social and environmental consequences. Whereas efforts are often aimed at promoting 'cost competitiveness', focusing on strategies that are based on 'non-price competitiveness' remains essential. Beyond these strategies, competitiveness is influenced by a wide range of factors. And in this sense, competitiveness appears to be the end result of an economic and social construction based on political and organisational choices, rather than merely the expression of intrinsic factors and qualities.
Building a competitive economy is one of the main objectives of public policies. On a European scale, this objective was reaffirmed by the 'Europe 2020' strategy. For the agricultural and agri-food sectors, 'competitiveness' is the key objective underpinning the Common Agricultural Policy for 2013-2020. In France, increased competition with other countries within the EU and countries outside the EU, namely commercial exchanges with countries in the Mercosur common market, questions the competitiveness of French agriculture and agri-food industry.
Competitiveness measures the capacity to keep and gain market shares in domestic and international markets in a competitive environment. Nevertheless, one should bear in mind that the trade surplus of one country spells the trade deficit of another. The quest for competitiveness is therefore intrinsic to all private businesses, and on a larger scale, this quest involves entire sectors of activity and countries.
The term 'competitiveness' in its common acceptance since the early 60s, stems from the notion of 'competitive market', namely a market that functions in a smooth and faultless way and which guarantees the optimal allocation of resources in a neoclassic economy.
An economic agent may only be qualified as competitive in comparison with other competitors offering the same type of goods or services. However, most of the time, this term is used to qualify an economic player based on his production costs compared to average prices. If average prices allow him to cover his production costs, including minimum remuneration for fixed production factors (land, labour, working capital), the player in question is deemed to be competitive.
This second type of comparison is nevertheless tricky as average prices rarely reflect 'equilibrium prices'. The very low prices for main agricultural commodities prior to 2006, and their excessive increase during the 2007-2008 global food crisis, questions market efficiency, and more precisely its ability to provide a reliable price signal. In this sense, just because a price is low does not necessarily mean that a competitor is more competitive: it may be that this competitor is in a situation where he is unable to cover his costs simply based on the remuneration of production factors.
The notion of competitiveness mainly refers to short term performance whereas sustainability, in its economic, social and environmental dimensions, essentially refers to long term performance. Deliberate and non deliberate strategies based on cutting down costs may help improve competitiveness in the short term, but in the long term may turn out to be highly destructive when these strategies affect the ability of companies and industries to invest and modernize their infrastructures. Recurrent under investment in the British dairy sector is a blatant example of this.
Independently of this temporal aspect, the notion of competitiveness extended to the field of business and applied to economic policies has been criticized by many economists.
Ignoring the fact that consumption drives the economy almost to the same extent as innovation, a number of strategies aimed at increasing market shares through reduced wages, competitive deflation and devaluation encourage non cooperative policies, which may be efficient in the short term, but eventually lead to the destruction of wealth and jobs on an aggregate level.
The terms 'cost competitiveness' and 'price competitiveness' are used interchangeably given the fact that the capacity to offer or sustain lower prices depends on the structure of production costs. Three types of factors determine 'cost competitiveness': pedoclimatic factors and the geographical location of activities, factors dependent on technical and economic efficiency, factors in relation with the global economic context.
Improving 'cost competitiveness' also means finding the best possible compromise between specialization, a source of technical efficiency, and diversification which is likely to provide a synergy between different types of production (economies of scope), and minimize risk exposure by better balancing these risks.
The global political and regulatory context also influences 'cost competitiveness' for agriculture and agri-food industries on a national level, as international competition evolves within a distinct economic context, one that depends on global economic and monetary policies and regulatory frameworks specific to agriculture and agri-food industries. Therefore, economic agents seeking to optimize their activity based on these determining factors cannot concurrently evade them.
Besides the factors determining 'cost competitiveness', other factors provide a competitive advantage to farmers and agri-food businesses based on product differentiation, a strategy that allows farmers and businesses to actively market their products in order to meet the specific requirements of their customers. Innovation and differentiation strategies can be based on an individual or collective approach, and rely on creating and marketing brand names, geographical indications, quality standards and certification schemes that guarantee production processes.
These examples oppose a linear assessment of competitiveness within a given sector as the sum of the competitiveness of each one of the units included in the global value chain. The interactions between these units are highly interdependent, and as such can turn out to be a source of synergy and efficiency. However, this interdependency may lead to tension and inertia if there is a lack of awareness of this mutual dependence and a lack of cooperative strategies.
The economic organization of a sector is therefore one of the essential factors determining its competitiveness.
In a context of price volatility, the problematics linked to price transmission within the agri-food industry, underline the importance of taking into consideration the interactions between the different units in the agri-food chain when assessing competitiveness. Unbalanced power relations during negotiations, and the incapacity to implement an organization likely to achieve a better balance of power can lead to a distribution of added-value that disadvantages those with a lack of power to negotiate better terms.
In the long term, this leads to what transaction cost economics refer to as the 'hold up problem', which occurs when one of the parties attempts to appropriate through opportunistic behaviour the quasi-rents generated from the relationship, and which may prejudice both parties in the long term. As a result of this 'hold up', the weaker party will face a slow decline as a result of poor investment which will affect his 'cost competitiveness' and bring about his fall as well as that of the stronger party, as both of them are forced to face competitors, who unlike them, have managed to build a common future.


Prepaid rent is rent paid prior to the rental period to which it relates, so the tenant should record on its balance sheet the amount of rent paid that has not yet been used.
Rent is commonly paid in advance, being due on the first day of that month covered by the rent payment. The landlord typically sends an invoice several weeks early, so the tenant issues a check payment at the end of the preceding month in order to mail it to the landlord and have it arrive by the due date. This presents a problem for the tenant, since the payment would normally appear in its income statement as rent expense in the period in which the invoice was entered in the accounting software – however, since the payment was recorded and the check was cut in the month before the period to which the payment relates, it is actually prepaid rent.
In short, store a prepaid rent payment on the balance sheet as an asset until the month when the company is actually using the facility to which the rent relates, and then charge it to expense.
A concern when recording prepaid rent in this manner is that one might forget to shift the asset into an expense account in the month when rent is consumed. If so, the financial statements under-report the expense and over-report the asset. To avoid this, keep track of the contents of the prepaid assets account, and review the list prior to closing the books at the end of each month.
The accounting treatment is different under the cash basis of accounting, where expenses are only recorded when payment is issued. Thus, a rent payment made under the cash basis would be recorded as an expense in the period in which the expenditure was made, irrespective of the period to which the rent payment relates.


VMware uses VMworld to inform the public about its latest releases and give the public a glimpse of its road map. This year VMworld had more than 23,000 attendees, 240 vendors displaying their wares, and held 450 informative sessions. VMworld attendees also had a chance to work with the latest VMware and partners' technology with hand-on labs (HOLs), and this year the attendees completed more than 9,000 labs.
After VMworld, VMware gradually releases their new HOLs to the public so that it can get experience with the latest VMware technology. The cost to use the HOLs? Free. Simply create an account, and you can begin using the HOLs right away.
As of this writing, VMware has released 18 new labs. Here are the five I'm the most excited about.
1. HOL-SDC-1627 - VVol, Virtual SAN & Storage Policy-Based Management: I thought this lab would be an update to some of the older VVol and vSAN labs. I was wrong. This lab not only covers the basics of VMware's software-defined storage product line, but goes deeper and takes you through using automation, data protection and a new feature in vSphere: vSphere APIs for IO Filtering (VAIO). This lab will be beneficial to beginners and advanced users alike.
2. HOL-SDC-1625 - VMware NSX Advanced: NSX is starting to come into its own, and VMworld attendees were talking a lot about NSX this year. Having previously taken "Intro to NSX" (HOL-SDC-1603), I was glad to see this lab show up. To get the full benefit of this lab, I'd suggest taking "Intro to NSX".
3. HOL-MBL-1651 - Advanced Technical Concepts of Horizon 6 from A to Z: If you're more interested in end user computing, and would like to stretch your knowledge, this is the lab for you. Its 10 lab modules cover a lot of ground. From troubleshooting to Linux desktops to sizing Horizon deployments, it should have something for everyone.
4. HOL-CHG-1695 - vSphere 6 Challenge Lab: This lab is a little bit different others, by challenging you to fix common vSphere problems. Being a recovering technical support engineer (Sequent, IBM and VMware), I found this lab very interesting. If you want to get a feel for what it's like to sit on the other end of the support line, I encourage you to take this lab; you may have a little more empathy for tech support after taking it.
5. HOL-SDC-1620 - OpenStack with VMware vSphere and NSX: VMware Integrated OpenStack, which this lab uses, is currently only compatible with vSphere Enterprise Plus, vSphere with Operations Management Enterprise Plus, and vCloud Suite; however, still having the opportunity to work with OpenStack in VMware is powerful draw. That's why it's the next lab on my to-do list.
VMware deserves credit for providing this resource to its community for free, and without a mind-numbing registration process. You can literally be using the labs within two minutes. The list of available labs is impressive, and this is just the first batch of new labs to be released.
Be sure to check the lab homepage in the coming months to see when other HOLs from VMware and their partners have been released. New labs will carry the number 16xx.

11 US military members presumed dead after helicopter crash
by Compiled from Wire Services
Florida Mar 11, 2015 - 12:00 am GMT+3

Seven marines and four soldiers aboard a U.S. Army helicopter that crashed over waters off Florida during a routine night training mission were presumed dead Wednesday, and crews found human remains despite heavy fog hampering search efforts, military officials said.
A Pentagon official said all 11 service members were presumed dead and that the Coast Guard found debris in the water. The helicopter a UH-60 Black Hawk from the Army National Guard was reported missing around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday.
U.S. coast guard officials said on Thursday that they ended the search for the presumed dead military members.
"The decision to suspend is always difficult," Layne Carter, search and rescue coordinator for Louisiana Coast Guard, said in a press release. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the friends and family of the members involved in this tragedy."
Officials said nine bodies had been recovered in total, according to the local Pensacola News Journal.
"At this point, we're not hopeful for survivors, and we are transitioning our Search and Rescue to a recovery effort," said Col. Monte Cannon of the guard.

It's a sad fact that fantasy, science fiction, horror, the genres of pure imagination, have become so entrenched in conventions, expectations, and cliché that it's rare to find a production that's really something new. There's only so many shambling zombie hordes, unstoppable knife-wielding maniacs, and feral yet seductive vampires one can watch before they all blend together into a indiscernible melange. But on the weekend, it was my honour to watch what felt very new.
I watched American Mary, the second horror movie written and directed by Vancouver's Soska Twins (Jen & Sylvia). Actually, I watched it twice.
It's the story of Mary Mason, an impoverished medical student who takes on some questionable surgical jobs to pay the bills and then gets embroiled in the body modification subculture, using her surgical skills to help people look on the outside how they feel on the inside. She also uses her skills to achieve revenge on the one who wronged her, a vengeance as creative as it is horrific.
American Mary is a powerful production that reminds me a little of Company of Wolves for its imaginative execution, graphic imagery, and decidedly female perspective and a little of David Chronenberg and Clive Barker for its unrelenting body horror and psychological breakdown but is still very much its own beast, a fascinating exploration of terror, desperation, betrayal, and the strange transmutations people undergo for self-expression.
Two things in particular make the movie stand-out. One is the depth it explores the main character's psyche, making her pain very sympathetic and her fall into brutality very plausible. The other is the movie's decision to use, as the story's backdrop, the body modification community, people who undergo surgery to give themselves split tongues, horns, fangs, and other transformations.
I always find explorations of strange subcultures fascinating and the movie manages to walk the line of treating the subculture with sympathy and respect while still using it to evoke strangeness and horror. A stripper who makes her body emulate classic cartoon character Betty Boop, a woman with the features and anatomy of a Barbie doll, twins who enhance their mutual physical bond while giving themselves the forms of devils, and of course the once-human thing that Mary herself works her will upon form a menagerie of the bizarre, the surreal, the very disquieting.
American Mary opens up a new world of horror, one filled with depth and terror, and is highly recommended for any aficionados who are looking for something fresh and new. Though it is certainly not for the squeamish.

A mold examination will identify any kind of conditions around your property which will certainly sustain mold growth as well as pinpointing issue locations as an example water damage, odors and also obvious indicators of fungal development etc. The mold inspector needs to take the examination outdoors and examine the exterior of the home once more for obvious signs of water damage, leaks as well as their sources such as damaged pipes, broken gutters, split brick work and so on.
As a rule of thumb, these samples can take 3-4 days to refine at the lab however I would certainly anticipate that your mold inspector make get in touch with as well as offer a verbal record as soon as the outcomes become available complied with by a created record within a number of days. An added indicate understand, when it comes to the report adhering to a mold examination a good mold examiner will not simply send you a duplicate of the laboratory report. He/She has to able to with confidence interpret the outcomes as well as deliver them together with suggestions to settle the issue in plain English!
NB. Ought to you schedule a mold and mildew examination it is necessary that you maintain doors and windows closed as high as possible for the 12 to 24 hours before the inspectors check out. This will allow that the mold and mildew evaluation results are precise. It will enable the mold inspector to identify odours and also air examples will certainly not have excess outdoors air.

A román konyhaművészetet a románság földrajzi helyzete határozza meg, az, hogy Közép-Európa és Délkelet-Európa határrégiójában helyezkedik el. Ezért szintézisét képezi különféle étkezési szokásoknak. A 19. századig összegyűjtött dák, római, szláv, bizánci, török, balkáni (görög, bolgár, szerb) és lengyel elemeket, Erdélyben németet és magyart is, majd a 19. század közepétől kezdve ezekhez hozzáadott olasz, francia vagy angol gasztronómiát. Az is fontos tényezője a román étkezési szokásoknak, hogy még a 20. század elején is a románok legnagyobb része falun élt, és mezőgazdasággal meg állattartással foglalkozott, ezért ma is általánosak a régi paraszti étkezés egyes elemei.

Történeti áttekintés

A 19. század közepéig

Ókori forrásokból kitűnik, hogy a dákok ételei között jelentős helye volt a tejnek, amint azt Hérodotosz megjegyezte, bár nem készítettek sem tejfölt, sem vajat, sem sajtot. Tiberius Flavius, aki római követként járt Decebal dák királynál 106-ban, és akit parázson sült borjúhússal, sült vadgalambbal, nyárson sült vadhússal, mézzel, erős borokkal, körtével, szőlővel és almával vendégeltek meg, ezen egyszerű étkek alapján is barbároknak tekintette a dákokat. Használták ugyan a káposztát, a spenótot és a mustármagot, de főtt ételekként csak a köleskását, a hajdinakását és a búzakását ismerték. Az utóbbit a temetéseket kísérő bőséges lakomákon ették. A colivă néven ismert búzakását ma is szokták enni a románok temetések után. Nagy borivók is voltak. Élelmiszereket úgy tartósítottak, hogy füstölték, sózták vagy sós lében tartották kunyhókban és barlangokban.

A rómaiak változatosabbá tették a dáciai étkezési szokásokat. Tőlük származik, bár ők is a görögöktől vették át, a plăcintă nevű lepény, amelyet különféle vagdalékokkal töltöttek. Neve a latin placenta szóból ered, és utóbb a román nyelvből bekerült a magyar nyelvbe is "palacsinta" alakban és megváltozott jelentéssel. Romániai ásatások felszínre hoztak a rómaiak által hozott románul țest nevű (a latin testum szóból) agyagból készült edényeket, amelyek alatt a tűzhelyen közvetlenül a parázsra tett kenyeret vagy lepényt sütötték. Ritkán ugyan, de Olténiában még ma is vannak öreg falusiak, akik használják. Olyan amforákat is találtak, amelyekben olívaolajat hoztak be Románia mai területére.

Az étkezési szokások nagyban függtek az emberek gazdasági és társadalmi helyzetétől. A nagyon szegény parasztok az év nagy részében csak kölesből (a 17. század végéig), majd kukoricadarából készült puliszkát ettek, esetleg hagymával vagy egy kis túróval. A hús ritkaságba ment. Baromfit csak ünnepekkor vagy különös családi események alkalmával vágtak le. Csak tehetősebb parasztoknak volt füstölt húsuk.

Ugyanakkor a gazdagabb társadalmi rétegek étkezését külső hatások kezdték érni. Már a középkorban a déli szlávoktól átvették a zöldségekből és húsból készült, az utólag török szóval csorbának nevezett savanyított levest.

Nagy hatással voltak a román gasztronómiára a keleti gasztronómiák, előbb a havasalföldi és a moldvai városokban. Bizánci, arab, török, görög, örmény hatásról van szó, mely egységesen nyilvánult meg, és román földön egyes új, az eredeti népekétől különböző étkezési szokásokat hozott létre. Bejöttek olyan húsos ételek, mint a piláf, a ciulama (mártásos főtt szárnyashús), a tuslama (pacalból, marhalábszárból és zöldségekből főtt, fűszerezett mártással készült étel), a tokány, a muszaka, és édességekként többek között a baklava, a halva és a lokum. Délről több zöldségféle került a román fejedelemségekbe: a padlizsán, a paradicsom, a paprika. Itt is kezdtek ezekből is lecsót és zakuszkát készíteni. Ugyancsak délről jöttek gyümölcsök is, a görögdinnye, a sárgadinnye és a birsalma. A 18. században és a 19. első felében a gazdagok 30–60 fogásos lakomákat rendeztek, aromás italokat és kávét ittak, török vízipipából dohányoztak.

Mivel a törökök más gabonaféléket követeltek adóként, a 17. század vége felé a románok elkezdtek kukoricát termeszteni, amit a törökök nem kívántak. Ez lett a parasztok fő élelmiszere. A húsok közül a sertés lett a legkedveltebb, ugyancsak a törökök miatt, mivel ők csak marhát kértek.

A 19. század közepéig létrejött egy böjtidőszaki, vegetáriánus étrend is, melyet a főleg falusi környezetben létező kolostorokban dolgoztak ki. Megjelentek olyan ételek, mint a diós töltött káposzta, a sütőben sült olívabogyós zeller, a gombatokány, a padlizsánfasírt, a fokhagymapasztás csalánfőzelék, a paréjfőzelék stb.

Az addig a románok által használt ételekről külföldi utazók számoltak be, és a 18. századból, Constantin Brâncoveanu havasalföldi fejedelem korából fennmaradt egy szakácskönyv is.

A 19. század közepe után

Mint a román társadalomban általában, előrelépés következett be a gasztronómiában is a 19. század közepe felé, amikor nyugatiasodás indult be olyan fiatal értelmiségiek hatására is, akik Nyugat-Európában jártak vagy tanulmányokat végeztek. A román szépirodalom fejlődésében is szerepet játszó Mihail Kogălniceanu és Constantin Negruzzi kiadtak egy 200 receptet tartalmazó könyvet, melyben leírtak általuk raffináltnak talált addigi, a fejedelmi és bojári lakomákon fogyasztott ételek mellett, francia recepteket is. A nyugati hatás eleinte erősebb volt Moldvában, mint Havasalföldön, de rövid idő alatt itt is jelentős lett.

A 19. század elején alapított bukaresti Hanul lui Manuc (Manuc fogadója) étlapjai híven tanúskodnak egyrészt arról, hogy a század második felében már mindenféle keleti és nyugati hatások voltak jelen, másrészt arról, hogy különböző ételeket szántak különböző társadalmi rétegekhez tartozóknak. Olyan ételneveket találni bennük, mint vinete orientale (keleti padlizsán), zacuscă à la Manuc (zakuszka Manuc-módra, melyben a francia, változatlan alakban ma is használt à la elöljárószó + határozott névelő található), salata sacagiilor (vízhordók salátája), omleta covacilor (kovácsok omlettje), ciorbă domnească de burtă (úri pacalcsorba), supă măcelarească (mészárosok levese) stb. Kelet és Nyugat olyan ételekben találkoznak, mint például a supă turcească de miel (török bárányleves), amelyben a supă (a francia soupe szóból) nem csorbát, hanem savanyítatlan, nyugatias levest jelent.

A román gasztronómia a két világháború között érte el a csúcsát. Erről tanúskodik például Paul Morand francia diplomata és író Bucarest (Bukarest) című, 1935-ben megjelent könyve. Híres volt a szállodát, éttermet, kávéházat és cukrászdát tartó Capșa ház. Ennek első tulajdonosa, Grigore Capșa, százával hozta Nyugatról a recepteket, melyekhez a ház szakácsai és cukrászai hozzáadták saját újításaikat, megtartva Nyugat és Kelet fúzióját. Példa az egyik máig megmaradt alkotásukra a Joffre-torta. Ennek elődje a Joffre-sütemény, melyet egy már létező recept megváltoztatásával kreáltak Joseph Joffre francia marsall tiszteletére, aki 1920-ban Bukarestbe látogatott.

A kommunista rendszer idején a román gasztronómia visszaesett. Ehhez különösen hozzájárult előbb az 1950-es éveket, majd az 1980-as éveket jellemző élelmiszerhiány. Ugyanakkor újraéledtek hagyományos falusi szokások a városokban is a zöldségek és a hús elkészítését, valamint tartósítását illetően.

1989 után folyamatosan újra megjelentek a régebbi ételek és mellettük mindenféle külföldi étkek, beleértve a gyorsétkezés termékeit is.

Hagyományos, de aktuális ételek

Tejtermékek

A románoknál is gyakori élelmiszerek a tejtermékek, de, bár nagy hagyománya van náluk az állattartásnak általában és különösen a pásztorkodásnak, mégis tejtermékeik nem olyan változatosak, mint például Franciaországban. Azonban azok, amelyeket a románok készítettek, már a 14. század felé elértek az Északi Kárpátokba is, ruszinok, szlovákok, morvák és lengyelek lakta területekre, ahová a transzhumáló pásztorkodás vitt románokat.

Népszerű az egészen friss caș nevű juhsajt, melyet főleg tavasszal szoktak fogyasztani újhagymával vagy retekkel. Ennek egyik tartósítási módszere a sós lében tartás. Ebből lesz a telemea. Ugyancsak tartósítás céljából készül a caș-ból a brânză de burduf (szó szerint "tömlős túró") is. Ehhez a cașt kb. egy héten át érlelik, majd megsózzák, és paszta állagúra gyúrják, azután pedig birkagyomorból vagy -bőrből készült tömlőbe teszik, amit úgy zárnak le, hogy ne maradjon benne levegő. Még kb. hét héten át érlelik. Tartják fából készült kis hordófélében is. Ezzel a túróval készül leginkább a rakott túrós puliszka (lásd lentebb).

Egyes tejtermékek készítési módja elkerült a románoktól a környező népekhez is. Erről tanúskodnak elnevezéseik ezen népek nyelveiben. Például a román brânză (túró) szó megtalálható a szlovákban (bryndza), a csehben (brynza) a lengyelben (bryndza), az ukránban/ruszinban (бринза), az oroszban (брынза), a belaruszban (брынза), a jiddisben (ברינזע – brinze), de még az észtben (brõnsa) és a németben is (Brimsen). Megjegyzendő azonban, hogy ezekben a nyelvekben a szó nem jelent akármilyen túrót, mint a románban, hanem csak a fentebb említett gyúrott és érlelt juhtúrót.

A caș készítéséből származó írót is felhasználják. Felforralják, és újból kicsapódik belőle kazeinanyag. Ez a savóval együtt a jintiță, melyet kihűlve fogyasztanak. Román neve "zsendice" alakban ment át a magyarba, más nyelvekbe pedig žincica, žintica (szlovák), žinčica (cseh), žentyca, čintyca (ukrán), žyntica, žynczica, žentyca, žetyca (lengyel) alakokban.

A zsendice leszűrésének nyomán annak kazeinanyaga adja az urdă nevű sajtot. Úgy eszik, mint a cașt, vagy például palacsinta- vagy lepénytöltelékként. Ennek a román neve is átment a magyarba "orda"-ként, de egyes magyar nyelvterületeken "zsendicetúró"-nak hívják. Más nyelvekben az urdă alakja urda (görög, bolgár, szerb, szlovák), vurda (ukrán), horda (lengyel).

Kevés változatban készítenek félkemény sajtot is, melyet a török eredetű cașcaval névvel illetnek. Füstölten is létezik. Román és külföldi ilyen sajtokból készítik a cașcaval panét, a rántott sajtot, melyet olyan köretekkel fogyasztanak, mint a húsból készültet.

Főtt és sült ételek

Romániában ma is esznek kukoricadarából készült puliszkát, mely "a keleti magyar nyelvterület paraszti táplálkozásának főétele" is volt. A legegyszerűbb a vízben főtt puliszka. Ezt eszik például köretként tokányhoz vagy töltött káposztához. Egyszerű, könnyű ételt képez tejjel, friss tehéntúróval és aludttejjel vagy tejföllel.

Máramarosi falvakban készítenek rakott túrós puliszkát. Fazékba puliszka- és brânză de burduf-rétegeket raknak egymásra, a felső túrórétegre füstölt húsos szalonnadarabkákat tesznek, és az egészet sütőben megsütik. Szintén Máramaros egyes falvaiban úgy is használják a puliszkát, hogy hígra főzik, serpenyőbe teszik, bele túródarabokat, füstölt szárazkolbász-darabokat, két-három tojást tesznek, hozzáadnak egy kis tejet és tejfölt, majd megsütik.

Erdélyben a kukoricadarát nemcsak vízben főzik, hanem tejben vagy íróban is. Ez a balmoș (bálmos). Bukovinában is készítenek bálmost, de ott vajban és tejfölben főzik meg a kukoricadarát, hozzáadnak még reszelt telemeát, és tálaláskor még rátesznek friss juhtúrót és vajdarabkákat is. Ugyancsak Bukovinában esznek puliszkát hidegen is, szilvalekvárral vagy tejfölös szamócával.

Kukoricadarából készült sütemény a mălai dulce. A legegyszerűbben úgy készül, hogy a kukoricadarát összekeverik aludttejjel, tepsibe teszik, és sütőben megsütik. A magyar "málé" szó, mely megtalálható egyedül vagy olyan összetett szavakban, mint "édesmálé" "tejesmálé", ami ennek a süteménynek a neve, "kukoricamálé" stb., a román mălai szóból ered. Ennek eleinte "kölesliszt" volt a jelentése, majd "kukoricaliszt/dara", de a süteményt is hívják egyszerűen így.

A csorbák eredetileg csak Havasalföldön és Moldvában voltak honosak. Lényegében bármilyen húsdarabokból és különféle zöldségekből együtt főzött levesek, melyeket elsősorban savanyítanak, hagyományosan ciberével, esetleg káposztalével, ecettel vagy citromlével. Hozzáadnak fűszerként babérlevelet, csombort, kakukkfüvet, borsot stb. A legelterjedtebbek között van a húsgombócos csorba és a pacalcsorba. Húsvétkor a csaknem kötelező báránycsorbát tárkonnyal vagy lestyánnal ízesítik.

Ugyancsak húsvéti étel a drob de miel, ami a bárány aprólékaiból készített pástétom.

A sarmale az egyik legelterjedtebb, török eredetű étel. Ez elsősorban a töltött káposzta elnevezése, amelyet Erdélyben úgy készítenek, mint Magyarországon, de ugyanaz a neve az ugyanolyan vagy hozzá hasonló töltelékkel készített más növények levelének. Ez lehet szőlő-, paréj-, torma-, hársfa-, lestyánlevél, a tölteléke pedig lehet bármilyen hús vagy hal, és készül böjti is, dióval. Moldvában például egyszerre, külön-külön martilapulevélbe csavart ötféle hússal (csirke, sertés, marha, borjú és juh) készítenek ilyen ételt.

Nagyon népszerű a mici (szó szerint "kicsik") vagy mititei ("kicsikék") keleti eredetű, többféle darált húsból készült, és fokhagymával meg borssal fűszerezett, rövid kolbász alakú, roston sült étel. Mustárba mártogatva szokták enni. Gyakori a szabad ég alatt rendezett lakomákon, piknikeken.

Krémszerű ételek

A Balkánról származik a padlizsánkrém, mely népszerű egész Romániában. A legegyszerűbb recept szerint a padlizsánt megsütik, lehámozzák és pasztát kevernek belőle apróra vágott hagymával, olajjal, sóval és borssal.

Télre szoktak eltenni immár az egész országban zakuszkát, egy másik balkáni jövevényt. Ez padlizsánból, paprikából, paradicsomból és hagymából készül. A hagymát olajban párolják, majd a többit is apróra vágva hozzáteszik, sózzák, borsozzák, babérlevelet adnak hozzá, összekeverik, és lassú tűzön főzik a saját levükben, amíg a keverékből krém lesz.

Népszerű szokás a húst és a halat mujdei-jel rákenve enni, vagy az ételdarabokat abba mártogatni evés közben. Az egyik recept szerint a mujdei úgy készül, hogy nyers fokhagymát összezúznak, és sóval, vízzel meg olajjal összekeverve pasztát nyernek belőle.

Italok

A románoknál nincs hagyománya a bizonyos ételeknek bizonyos italokkal való párosításának. Erre csak az utóbbi évtizedekben igyekeznek tanítani őket hozzáértő emberek. Szokás azonban az, hogy ünnepi étkezés előételéhez gyümölcspárlatokat isznak, a húsos és halas fogások után pedig bort. Az is elterjedt nézet, hogy a mititei-hez a sör illik.

A gyümölcspárlatok nagy választéka létezik, melyek között a szilvapárlatok a legelterjedtebbek. Ezek tizenhárom változata európai uniós eredetvédelem alatt áll țuică (magyar alakban "cujka"), horincă és turț néven. Régiótól függően vannak nagyobb vagy kisebb alkoholtartalmúak, azaz egyszer, illetve kétszer desztilláltak. Egyéb gyümölcsökből is készülnek párlatok. Ezek, melyek mind kétszer desztilláltak, hivatalosan a magyar eredetű palincă nevet viselik.

Romániában sok bortermő vidék van és sokféle bor, melyből nagy mennyiségeket termelnek. Például 2002-ben  hektárt tettek ki a szőlőültetvények (az ország mezőgazdasági területének 1,7%-át), és  hektoliter bort termeltek, de a románoknak nincs olyan kifinomult borfogyasztási kultúrájuk, mint például a franciáknak.

Click-Through Rate, R.I.P.
27 Jun 00 | Author | Media Media Planning |
It's finally happened: Click-through is dead. As the proverbial doornail. Finished. Over. Well, perhaps this is overstated, but it IS dead as a metric for determining an online campaign's success anyway, if that campaign is interested in anything other than traffic. What tolled its death knell? A new metric, one that offers a new way to look at online advertising and assess its effect.
Use Your Inventory: Low Price, High Dividends
It's no secret that most major web sites and ad networks don't even come close to selling the majority of their ad inventory. Yet, many sites maintain the philosophy that it's still best to sell the small fraction they can at a premium, and to recognize their opportunity costs at year's end. But what if the extra inventory could be put to good use?
And the Winner Is: Following Up on the RFP
After placing your insertion orders, did you ever have a rep from some of the sites that didn't make the final plan call and ask why? It's reasonable for a rep to want to know what the points of differentiation were so he can amend his next offering accordingly. It also gives him a chance to make a final pitch. Jim has a great negotiating tactic for media buyers.
Out-of-the-Box Placements
The bulk of online media inventory is boring! Media plan after media plan, buy after buy, on site after site, the same drab inventory is up for sale. It's either ROS, category rotation, topical channel placement, or the ever- popular buttons and text links. And it's all usually available for desperately negotiable CPMs. Even though we have standards for ad unit sizes and placement, don't be afraid to ask for anything and everything you might want because you just might get it.
Why Can't We Be Friends?
Want to have a friend? Then make the point of having a relationship. Despite all the talk about relationship marketing and partnerships, nothing much is happening between buyers and sellers. How can we foster relationships with advertisers and potential customers if we aren't doing it ourselves?
What to Watch for in an Insertion Order
30 May 00 | Author | Media Media Planning |
In early days of online advertising, most sites didn't yet have standardized terms and conditions or billing procedures. So the agency or the site would make up a form that would serve as an agreement between the publisher and the advertiser. As monetized web sites grew much faster than online agencies, the sites started developing their own insertion orders. They aren't always terribly fair for you, the agency, OR your clients. Jim tells you what to look out for in an insertion order.
Negotiated Pricing: Right or Wrong?
Online ad space is a relatively easy sale these days, and buyers have the ability to spend rather easily. Perhaps, as a result, this has gone to some people's heads. Online media planners are often subjected to salespeople unwilling to accommodate a smaller budget. Isn't the idea to build a long, lasting relationship between the site (or ad network) representative and its repeat customers (agencies)? Regardless of the size of a buy, a commission is always paid. Adam questions current pricing practices.
Doing the 'Mendel' Buy
What's a Mendel? It's the hybrid buy, named after the 19th century monk who discovered hybrid plants and defined genetics. This kind of buy includes a variety of placement and pricing structures, putting them together into one singular buy so the effort can benefit from the best-of-breed ad models available in the marketplace. Jim explains how this works and how to make it happen.
Buying Big Bandwidth
You've heard them whisper about it on the streets. You've heard television business correspondents talk about it with that look of confusion on their faces. You've heard reps champion it as something only their sites can provide. And finally, you've heard every interactive ad conference speaker extol its virtues and shout about it as the Next Big Thing. It isn't standardization, and no, it ain't buying rich media. It's broadband, baby. Jim tells you what's different about buying this audience.
Online Media: Is the Price Right?
Back in the good old days, media planners used to chortle when they got publisher rate cards, because everyone knew you didn't really have to pay those high rates. Not so today. But negotiating down CPMs is still very possible, it's just not quite as easy as it once was. Jim reviews media pricing and tells you what it takes to negotiate and where the bargains are.

Just a few thoughts before my day takes me away.
The other day, I thought I'd celebrate St. Patty's Day with The Cranberries. Dolores O'Riordan has been on my mind lately, and her voice was just the Irish taste I was looking for. However, I couldn't listen to her voice and not remember what had recently happened to her. We won't know officially how or why she died until next month. In the meantime, rumors swirl from police at the scene of fentanyl and suicide.
People pay a heavy price for addiction. Dolores struggled with depression, suicide, and addiction for years, then paid with her life. She sang in 1996 about the dangers of allowing drugs and external forces to have control over our lives, but it seems that years later she still hadn't gained control. I suddenly felt very sad for her.
This brought an end to listening to The Cranberries. The pain was too recent and personal.
I experienced suicidal ideation early last week. It was the first time in six or more years. Just an errant thought. Caught me by surprise. I immediately fired up my coping strategies and called somebody. I let them know what was going on, and we chatted for a bit. Then the darkness passed.
If you struggle with suidism, I cannot recommend enough the importance of working out a game plan on a good day so that you can rely on that plan on a bad day. This is what saves me over and over again.
I wrote a blog about these coping strategies called "Six Steps to Overcome Suicidism" while writing my first book. I included the article in the chapter on knowing who to rely on. The article is loaded with helpful information, but I just discovered that I never remembered to post it here. Ah, ADHD… I'll have to remind myself to rectify that.
In short, I try to talk myself out of suicide first, then pray for help second. I have a great deal of faith in prayer. However, if prayer fails to abate the suicidal feelings, then I rely on friends and family. If they aren't available, the fourth line of defense is a church leader. The important thing is to tell somebody—anybody—what you are experiencing. Even a suicide hotline will suffice. Get your urge out of the shadows. These aberrant feelings don't thrive in the light.
Decades ago, these suicidal feelings were overpowering, suffocating, and daily. It took me ten years of training to regulate my moods and to not let them take over my life. Now I go years between bouts. It truly is miraculous progress compared to the dark place I used to reside in. I'm so grateful that I made the effort and found success, but I never had drug addiction to deal with on top of suicidal ideation. I can't imagine what Dolores was struggling with, or how the drugs addled her outlook. But this is speculation.
What I can say is that you are more important than you realize. Suicidal depression is insidious. It convinces us that we do the world a kindness by taking our lives. Please seek help if you struggle daily with these destructive urges.


We service all, even the oldest devices produced by our company. We provide warranty, post-warranty and periodic maintenance services. After the service is performed, we can issue a Device Performance Certificate. Servicing is done directly by Sonomed without involving third parties due to the specialized equipment and expertise required.
We can perform a preliminary check and send you an invoice for the needed work on demand before attempting any repairs. Usually, the servicing takes from 2 to 7 days.
Important: Before sending the device for servicing, ensure that it is well packaged. Any cables, probes and power adapters should be disconnected to avoid damage. We also kindly ask you to include a written short description of the what issues you experienced and any symptoms the device is displaying. We suggest contacting us before shipping the device, since your comments are often enough for us to determine the type and scale of the malfunction.

Devices configured per request are available in 5 to 15 days' time frame depending on the type of accessories selected.


I have yet to come across a flourishing company that has a negative culture. In fact it is normally the opposite: the healthier the culture, and the happier and more motivated the staff, the more profitable the business.
This is important for the work we do at Gamechangers because our strategies are created to help our clients grow. Therefore, it's critical to ensure the right people who can deliver this growth are in place, and the culture is there to support it.
So how do we do ensure our clients develop a culture that contributes to the bottom line? That's the tricky bit because it isn't something tangible, it isn't always easy to define. We have to emerge ourselves into our clients' organisations, understand the way they do things and why, understand their challenges, help to create a vision that brings all stakeholders together. We speak to all of the employees and their clients, learn every company process and communication, and then determine whether the culture is the best for the growth of the business. We want the right people in the right roles, everyone working at their optimum, everyone motivated, inspired, and on the same page, going in the same direction.
If they're not, then we have to work out how this can happen. And that's where the fun stuff comes in. For me, having done an MSC in Human Resource Management, there's nothing more satisfying than than helping a company to create a thriving culture and reach its full potential through its employees.

Every time I reminisce about my summer interning at Zachęta National Gallery of Art, I think only fondly of Warsaw. My position in the Education Department at the gallery brought me into the depths of the city's artistic community. I was taken in by a group of creative and open-armed Varsovians who gave me the chance to assist curators and Poland's major artists first hand, to participate in the development of exhibitions, and they fostered my love of photography, publishing my photos, and choosing me to take photos for Gazeta Wyborcza. I did everything from posting flyers in every corner of the city to assisting Warsaw's general press. My largest job and most valuable experience was managing the backstage at the music festival The Artists, shuttling performers across the stage and documenting the entire event with my precious camera in hand. Not only did the gallery take care of me, but the curators and artists also wanted to show me what it meant to be a part of this community. I was not there only for professional growth, but for life experience. They accepted me into their family, and I spent my days and nights getting to know Warsaw from the eyes of these Varsovians.
My colleagues and mentors showed me that Warsaw is the kind of friend who teaches us about life, introduces us to new ideas, and shows us how to enjoy the present without forgetting the past. Warsaw is not without its faults, but never pretends to be something that it is not. Warsaw is honest, creative, and wise. Warsaw is not only one of the most resilient cities in all of history, but also one of the most intriguing. The Warsaw I know today is both the same, and nothing like, that which my own grandfather knew as a young, eager boy excited to skate along the frozen Wisła river. It took some time, but Warsaw activated its natural magnetism, relentlessly seducing me with charm and intrigue, and at last won me over. We are now the greatest of friends.
A few times during my stay, I hosted friends and family in this Syrenka-guarded wonderland. I thought endlessly about how I might introduce them to my new companion; should we cover all the tourist sights, or should I share with them the secrets I had learned from my gallery guardians? Before I divulge my secrets, I must acknowledge that many people know Warsaw very well, and I know they may disagree with my chosen highlights. Warsaw is timeless, an acquaintance to many. These are only fragments of the Warsaw I wish to share with you, and only glimpses of the Warsaw many know and love.
When Poland co-hosted the Euro Cup in 2012, Warsaw acquired much more than a shiny new stadium. From taking many trips to the airport to pick up artists' families, I learned that the new direct train to and from the airport to the city center is one of the more outstanding additions. While you may have to lug your suitcase a bit farther than to the bus stop or taxi stand, the price and comfort of the ride is well worth it. This shiny bullet is, more often than not, clean and completely empty, and you avoid both the bus-pickpockets and the taxi-rip-offs. While this route may not provide the same wacky adventure as you would normally have on Bus no. 175, the S2/S3 train ride is a smooth way to enter the city.
My favorite in-city transportation, however, is the bike share system, Veturilo. This is how I ran many errands for the gallery, crossing many bridges and navigating through courtyards and along back streets where no buses go. However, this system is not without its mishaps. Occasionally one needs to double check for loose chains and wonky spokes. Fortunately, I learned that many passersby would offer guidance as you struggle to peddle. I certainly had a few amusing encounters with onlookers who felt my biking skills were, shall we say, a bit rusty, especially in the bustling Warsaw streets. One older gentleman saw the beauty in this lack of skills, remarking about one friend of mine, "It is a beautiful thing to watch your friend ride a bicycle!" I saw more of Warsaw on these two wheels than I ever could have on foot, and it was certainly more cinematic this way!
I never grow tired of passing along the Wisła, be it by bike or on foot, eyeing the modest menus of the docked-boat restaurants, and watching the dozens of sluggish strollers and peaceful loungers sitting along the water. This is an especially intriguing destination at dusk, as people get happier (read: flirtatious and somewhat intoxicated), taking in the sunset as they listen to a nearby open air concert at Cud nad Wisłą, where a gallery colleague of mine and his band would perform in the evening. While it may seem unconventional, these boat and riverside venues serve some tremendously delicious food, especially grilled kiełbasa. I always head back toward Old Town by taking this back-road riverside route. This way, I end up by the multimedia fountain park, either to cool down and stick my feet in the water, or to watch the dazzling, colorful light show. The view at this spot is spectacular, with the burnt-umber rooftops cascading on the west side, and the river in front on the east. At this point, one seems to be basking in a haze of serene antiquity, which swirls in the mist from the fountain and intoxicates you in the heat of the summer.
From Old Town, on a curved outlook, one can see the skyline of the Praga district across the river. It frustrates me that Praga has had a historically bad rap as a seedy area for so many years, leaving much of its treasures unfairly neglected. In truth, this region is blossoming into an artist's haven! Saska Kępa is a particularly popular neighborhood for the casual stroller to observe beautiful facades, while Skaryszewski Park, situated just past the new National Stadium, offers a space of cascading greenery for nature lovers, a cozy setting for outdoor concerts, and a venue for endless varieties of festivals. I once passed through a rather wacky Smerf Festival while working at a different, more experimental music festival in the park, hosted by Zachęta, The Artists. One of the more intriguing, and still developing, additions in the vicinity is the Soho Factory, an "Avant-garde Space for Culture and Business." The goal there is to have Warsaw become one of the first European cities to develop a clearly defined neighborhood designated for artistic activity. Clearly, a gallery or theater on nearly every downtown street just was not enough for Warsaw culture addicts.
I inevitably lead my company to Zachęta, my beloved place of work, which always has fascinating exhibitions on display. One major benefit of working at a gallery is my ease of access to intimate museum and arts events all around Warsaw. This is how I almost collided head-on with President Komorowski and his wife at the Mark Rothko exhibition opening at the National Museum. Aside from the Night of Museums, a carnival-esque, mid-May night when galleries and museums throughout the city are open for free and until very late, any visitor can enter these institutions free on a designated day. [For example, Zachęta is free on Thursdays, the National Museum on Tuesdays, the Frederyk Chopin Museum and the Warsaw Uprising Museum on Sundays, and so on.] A good number of these large galleries also have tiny, off-site spaces that are interesting to explore. I learned that the Bec Zmiana Foundation is a great source for finding out about artistic happenings around Warsaw and greater Poland. At night, many gallery spaces often turn into an alluring performance venue, a thumping dance floor, or perhaps an artist has something entirely unpredictable up his/her sleeve for a basement hall.
Planning meals for a weekend visitor is always difficult for me because there are just so much choices. While the milk bars scattered throughout the city streets offer dirt-cheap lunches and taste like heaven, especially Bar Mleczny: Familijny (my goodness do the locals flock here!), I am inclined to lead my visitors away from the main restaurants along Nowy Świat/Krakowskie Przedmieście. The several blocks south of Aleje Jerozolimskie have dozens upon dozens of restaurants, bars, and cafes, food from every culture you can think of, and is relatively devoid of major tourist crowds. While not the "authentic Polish cuisine" some may be looking for, gallery interns flock to Bobby Burger after events. This joint has some of the best, juicy, and flavorful hamburgers around. The Tel-Aviv Café and Deli, home to some of the most delicious sandwiches and creative, refreshing drinks was always a great place to take a break from plastering posters. The young, fashionable crowd that circuits these streets is an added attraction.
On a rainy afternoon, or after a long day of wandering, I often like to wind down with a warm mug of tea or coffee. My gallery friends would take me to the cozy bookstore/coffee shop Wrzenie świata, on Gałczynskiego. Every time I settled in for a large, affordable, cup of brew, I spotted a well-known artist or curator (I feel the need to name-drop, here, the alluring Michał Libera), or observed someone that looked to be penning the next great contemporary Polish novel. It is a wonderful place to sit, chat, and reflect on all that I had done that day. The bookshelves seemed to be hugging me, inviting me to stay longer, wanting me to revel in the friendship that is Warsaw and me.
Thank you for such a lovely pictorial article!
