Choosing a mobile business app developer is no easy task. The contractor should carry out the work in accordance with the customer's requirements within the agreed timeframe. Finding a reliable app builder can be tricky, but it's not beyond the realms of possibilty. Here are some pointers aimed at helping you make the right choice without having to settle for second best.
Opting for a freelance developer may seem like an attractive option owing to the development cost but we recommend going with a company. You'll get a fully-equipped team who can intelligently bring your ideas to life while sticking to the brief and maintaining product integrity. A dedicated project manager is assigned to each team, who monitors timely execution of project tasks. Automatically rule out companies who don't have a website. It's rather odd for a developer not to have one. Via the website you can take a look at the company's portfolio and get a better idea of its areas of expertise. If you like what you see, the likelier you are to work well together. It's also important that the company has had downloadable apps in app stores before. Not all content is compatible with Play Market while the Appstore has strict policies in place. Before an app can appear in an app store, it must undergo moderation. Thus, if you plan to creat an iOS app, make sure that the developer you go for has proven experience launching a product in an app store.
Cheaper doesn't necessarily mean a better deal.
You need a good-quality mobile app not a cheap one, hence, don't choose a company based on price alone. Opting for the cheapest developer is a sure-fire way to disappointment. In attempt to cut costs, you'll end up with a product which will serve to benefit neither you nor your business. A professional knows the value of his work and values it accordingly. If your budget doesn't allow for the creation of an app at present, then it might make sense to put it on hold until the following month. Don't let your idea be compromised through poor execution!
Often an 'as soon as possible' approach to building an app is required and the customer leans toward the developer proposing to do it in the shortest possible space of time. Herein lies the trap. Inexperienced developers who aren't able to properly evaluate the project may end up quoting you a much shorter time frame than what the job actually requires. In such a situation, the odds are that the deadline will overrun. Far worse however, is ending up with an app nothing like what you expected. Remember, that even the most talented specialist – whatever their field - has their limits. Each task has a minimum completion time frame and even professional programmers need time in order to accurately write the code. IDSI developers are encouraged to take their time, with an emphasis always on delivering a quality product. Creating a business app with extensive functionality is going to entail more than a day's work.
It's nice when you're able to meet the project manager face to face or go to the offices of the company or developer. However, this won't necessarily guarantee you a quality service. Don't confine the search to only those companies within a similar geographical location to you. Lots of people collaborate remotely and achieve great results, which entirely make up for the distance between them. Evaluate the expertise of the company and not its location. IDSI has created mobile business apps for clients in various cities and we ourselves are proof that building apps for clients remotely does not pose an obstacle.
Часто приложение нужно «чем быстрее, тем лучше» и заказчики стремятся выбрать исполнителя, назвавшего меньший срок разработки. Здесь кроется ловушка. Неопытные подрядчики из-за неспособности выполнить адекватную оценку проекта могут назвать срок гораздо меньше необходимого. Самое безобидное в таком случае – срыв сроков. Гораздо хуже, если в итоге вы получите приложение не похожее на то, какое ожидали.
Помните, что возможности любого специалиста ограничены. У каждой задачи есть минимальные сроки исполнения и даже профессиональному программисту нужно время для написания кода. Разработчики IDSI советуют не гнаться за скоростью, а обратить внимание на качество продукта. На создание бизнес приложения с большим количеством функций потребуется далеко не один день.
Good companies always have a QA specialist, responsible for testing any app which is built on different mobile devices. Launching an app without testing it is a huge risk. Consequently, you might end up with an app full of bugs, which will up the initial budget by 2 – 3 times. Before signing a contract, check that QA testing for apps is included in the proposal. It's advisable not to work with companies which don't incorporate app testing into their overall process. IDSI apps undergo testing by a QA specialist. It's important to us that our products run smoothly without technical errors or bugs. Finding a reliable developer is possible provided you don't compromise on price and speed of the job. Learn from others' mistakes to avoid making them yourself.


It used to be off-limits to talk the way we do. We can all remember when "capitalism" was synonymous with "good" in standard American English. In the mainstream mind, the word "socialism" only conjured up images of dictators and prison camps.
But then in 2008, the economy crashed. People like you and me starting waking up, asking questions, and looking for answers.
What woke you up? Was it seeing your neighborhood suddenly dotted with foreclosed homes? Was it having a relative lose their good-paying industrial job after their plant closed down? Was it those student loan bills that just kept coming? Was it leaving college and discovering you'll never get a chance to have the kind of decent-paying job and living standard that once defined the American dream? Was it applying for food stamps, after being told your whole life that there was prosperity in America for all who worked hard?
It certainly helped that the Republicans called Obama a "socialist" constantly. If daring to show even the slightest concern about the decaying of the industrial Midwest and the crisis of low wages makes you a "socialist," many people should be interested in becoming one.
Back in 2008 calling Obama a "socialist" was a way to slur him. Now Bernie Sanders, the Democratic Party front-runner, is calling himself a "socialist" as a way to attract supporters. Many of the most dedicated anti-Wall Street activists who occupied Zuccotti Park back in 2011 are now "feeling the Bern." Sanders talks vaguely about "democratic socialism" on national television between rants against the wealthy financial oligarchy, and people love him for it.
Hating Wall Street and their system of global monopoly capitalism might be a new thing for you and me, but it's not new for most of the world. The message of my letter is this: If you really want to fight Wall Street, you have to join up with the unfolding global revolution. Fighting the billionaire one percent means fighting racism and imperialism.
If you've seen Michael Moore's new movie Where to Invade Next, you've got to be perplexed. Why do working people in Europe have guaranteed healthcare, free education, and a much more humane society? Moore barely hints at the reasons. He shows workers' rallies and demonstrations. He points out that people in Europe protest more and tend to be more involved in the political process.
Lack of political involvement is certainly part of our problem. We all know that too many people in the USA are tuned out of politics and tuned in to Kim Kardashian and the Real Housewives of New Jersey. But the problem is deeper than that.
What image immediately comes into your mind when you hear the phrase "welfare mother?" Despite the fact that the majority of women with children who receive government assistance are white, the image that has been burned into our minds and associated with the phrase "welfare mother" is that of an African-American woman. The manufactured perception that government programs only help "the others" has been key in duping people and destroying the US economy.
For the last four decades, while the incomes and living standards of all the working families in the United States have been dropping, the US media have convinced white people to direct their anger at African-Americans. They have convinced many to support cuts in social programs and the firing of government workers, believing that these things would only hurt African-Americans and Latinos.
Racism has been the biggest barrier to social justice in the United States. The United States, unlike France or Germany, is not a nation. The United States is a country, and within it are both oppressed and oppressor nations. The primary way the ruling global elite has kept back the working families of all nations within the United States is by mobilizing the whites to oppress, despise, and beat down African-Americans.
The ruling financial elite has prevented struggles and rebellions from breaking out by utilizing white workers. Wall Street is very good at redirecting our rage and transforming us into foot soldiers they can use to beat down the Black and Chicano nations.
As the economy is crumbling, the middle class is destroyed, and youth are stuck in low-wage service sector jobs, we see this racism racket once again. Protesters are marching through the streets saying "Black Lives Matter" because the courts and society at large have given the police an unofficial license to kill Black youth. Armed rebellions are breaking out in places like Ferguson and Baltimore.
FOX news and Donald Trump are working hard to dupe us, like they have so many times before. They want to use the white working class as cannon fodder against the unfolding Black revolution. They want us burning mosques, cheering for George Zimmerman, hating immigrants, and waving American flags while they transform the entire country into a giant low-wage prison. Will we be suckers again? Or are we going to wake up and switch sides?
Long before Bernie Sanders was calling himself a "democratic socialist," Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was describing himself with such terms. Just before King was shot down, he started talking about poverty and the Vietnam War. He dared point out that US militarism around the world and the extreme poverty of people at home were absolutely linked.
King's final speeches described how the forces that control the world, the big bankers, were oppressing and exploiting African-Americans at the same time they were slaughtering Vietnamese people. At the time of his death, King was daring to link the Ku Klux Klan and Pentagon as a singular apparatus of repression, and calling for an end to capitalism, the system based on profits.
In the days of MLK, the Black Panther Party, and Malcolm X, a lot of support for the Black freedom struggle came from outside of the country. The Soviet Union petitioned the UN to take action against Jim Crow segregation. Cuba broadcast "Radio Free Dixie," urging African-Americans to rise up. Mao Zedong issued statements urging resistance to racism, and welcomed Black freedom fighters like Robert F. Williams and Huey Newton to China as heroes. The Democratic People's Republic of Korea had a special relationship with the Black Panther Party. Many forces around the world understood that the fight against imperialism was linked to the Black freedom struggle in the United States.
While FOX news and CNN portray protesters and activists as dangerous criminals, TV networks like Russia Today and PressTV invite those who are protesting to tell their side of the story, and expose the horrors of police brutality and political repression routinely covered up by the Wall Street-owned US media.
It should be no surprise that at the same time that they are filling neighborhoods across the United States up with police checkpoints, cameras, and surveillance drones, they are building military bases in the Pacific Ocean and surrounding the People's Republic of China. At the same time that they are rehearsing for civil war and martial law in the hills of Idaho (remember "Operation Jade Helm"), they are setting the stage for a confrontation with Russia.
Russia isn't part of the Soviet Union any longer. There are plenty of wealthy capitalists there now. The Cold War is over, but US leaders still want a confrontation. Why? Putin has brought stability after the chaos that ensued during the fall of the USSR. The Russian economy is centered around exporting its publicly owned oil and natural gas resources. Russia is an emerging source of stability, competing with big bankers on the global markets.
That's why in 2008, the US-aligned regime in Georgia attacked the territory of South Ossetia protected by Russian peacemakers, sparking a war. That's why the democratically elected president of Ukraine was forcefully removed by a group of US-funded neo-Nazis and terrorists in 2014. That's why US media is constantly telling us that Putin is a dictator, while at the same time the US is supporting and arming brutal regimes like the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Libya is in ruins since the 2011 intervention. It once had the highest life expectancy on the African continent. Iraq is a mess. Saddam Hussein has been replaced by ISIS. Aside from the poppy fields and terrorist groups, Afghanistan is more impoverished and unstable than ever before. The "rescue missions" US leaders keep selling never seem to make anyone better off. The people in the Pentagon don't care anything about human rights.
The dangerous war moves against Russia, like the racist repression of African-Americans and the rising police state at home, are about keeping the Wall Street criminals in control of the world. The fight against Wall Street is also a fight with the Pentagon, and it's also a fight against police brutality and racism. The US government is not working to protect you and your family. It is bought and sold, working for a cartel of international bankers who have no loyalties of any kind. The World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, Wall Street, the London Stock Exchange; all the centers of economic power are under the control of a clique of Ayn Rand psychopaths. In the name of "neoliberalism" they have turned "might makes right" and "greed is good" into an ideology, and they want nothing to stand in the way of their profits. They glorify selfishness and individualism, and want to break down and destroy all communities, cultures, nations, and traditions. They want one global financial empire.
Venezuela, Iran, Russia, China, Cuba and Syria — all the countries the Pentagon is mobilizing to attack — have to one degree or another kicked these bankers out and taken control of their own economies. They have started developing independently, and the big bankers want to destroy them. In the US, Black nationalists like the New Black Panther Party, the Nation of Islam, the African People's Socialist Party, and so many others want the same thing for African-Americans. They want self-determination and the right to build up and develop their own community. I say it's time we embrace these forces. We have the same enemy. All those fighting for independence should be our friends.
What Kind of "Socialism" Do You Believe In?
There was a time when a lot of white people in the United States got something out of empire. Older folks often talk about the booming economy of the 1950s, the "good old days" made possible by the rise of US power after WWII. It used to be that while US leaders bombed places like Vietnam and Korea, and we waved the flag and cheered, some of us got houses, cars, TV sets and a high standard of living.
But that's history! The domestic capitalism of the United States has been defeated by international finance. The bankers that run the world are driving the entire human race down. With the computer revolution, technology is advancing to astounding heights. Their social scientists are talking about "overpopulation" because they don't need us anymore. A crisis of global migration has erupted. People are fleeing their homes across the world because the global economy no longer has room for millions of workers.
Because Russia and China have dared to say "no" to international capitalism, and continue to build themselves up with somewhat state-controlled economies, the danger of war is intensifying. These large countries sit at the center of an entire bloc that has rejected the dictatorship of the dollar. Many countries, with many different ideologies, are refusing to be part of the international financial dictatorship.
What concerns me most, my socialist friend, is what you are going to do after the 2016 elections are over. Is your belief in "socialism" going to stop on Election Day? Are you going to return to your normal life, sitting back while Wall Street pushes the human race closer towards disaster? Or are you going to keep fighting back, not just at the ballot box, but in the street?
And what is "socialism" going to mean for you? Is it going to be a more liberal version of Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again"? Is it about trying to bring back the good old days when white people got bigger crumbs while the bankers plundered the world? Or is it about building something entirely new?
The Soviet Union is gone. The kind of "really existing socialism" that defined the Cold War is not coming back. But in the Bolivarian movement of Venezuela, the People's Republics of Donbass, the Hezbollah-controlled areas of Lebanon, and the streets of Baltimore and Ferguson, something new is emerging. It's not the "communism" we learned about in school. It doesn't fit into the 20th-century political categories of left or right. Sometimes it is very religious or nationalistic. Often it draws deeply from traditions and cultures of peoples who are under attack and refuse to surrender. Whatever you want to call the emerging forces of resistance, they are our only hope for the future. Wall Street and neoliberal capitalism have failed, and their only hope for keeping power is in war and repression.
If you really want to fight Wall Street, you need to pick sides now. You need to think in global terms. Time is running out and the stakes are getting higher. The world is waiting for us!

Долна (Същинска) Македония () е част от историко-географската област Македония, която последователно е регион на царство Древна Македония и римска провинция Македония. Поетичното име на географския регион през древността е Ематия (Emathia).

История
Филип II Македонски образува Добавна Македония () от регионите на тракийските племена едони, синти, одоманти и пиери. По-късно Долна Македония е наричана от римляните и Втора Македония () – след административната реформа на Диоклециан, когато е отделена от Първа Македония.

Тя обхваща части от Дардания и цяла Пеония, което днес се отъждествява с териториите на Северна Македония. Град Стоби, разположен на устието на Еригон в Аксиос служи първоначално като столица на Пеония, а по-късно и като такава на Долна Македония. В тази провинция са и реките Халиакмон и Стримон. Долна Македония включва областите Пиерия, Ботиая, Амфакситида, Крестония, Мигдония, Антемус, Крусея и Бисалтия.

В следващите векове териториите на Долна Македония са отнети от Източната римска империя и включвани последователно в Първото българско царство, Византийска България, Второ българско царство, Сръбско царство, Прилепско кралство и Османска империя.

Home »Resources »Shaping Our Lives Resources »Our Latest Work »Mutual Benefits – The potential of disabled people as foster carers'
Becki Meakin, General Manager of Shaping Our Lives said:
'Shaping Our Lives is delighted to be part of this innovative project. Disabled people have an insight into successful parenting from their own lived experience and can apply strategies to fostering that would be very beneficial to looked after children. Shaping Our Lives has worked with a range of service providers to identify the structural and attitudinal barriers that exclude disabled people and will offer foster agencies a model of working that is inclusive to a broad range of people including potential disabled foster carers.'
The University of Worcester has been awarded £142,000 as part of a £5 million National Lottery funded research programme into independent living for disabled people. This funding has come via DRILL (Disability Research on Independent Living and Learning) programme, a five year scheme launched in 2015 led by disabled people and funded by the Big Lottery Fund, the largest funder of community activity in the UK.
The research project, entitled 'Mutual Benefits – The potential of disabled people as foster carers' will be jointly run by Dr. Peter Unwin, Principal Social Work Lecturer, 'Shaping Our Lives' National User Network and Malvern – based Foster Care Co-Operative agency. Disabled members from Shaping Our Lives and members of the University's own service user and carer group, IMPACT, will use their lived experiences to shape the project.
The aim of the two year project is to explore why there are so few disabled foster carers at a time when there is an estimated 7,000 shortfall of foster carers. Dr Unwin said:
'We see this as an opportunity to change the minds of professionals and disabled people about the potential of disabled foster carers. There is an over-representation of disabled children in care, yet there are very few disabled foster carers to act as positive role models. You often see adverts in the press and on the back of buses asking if you have considered fostering / do you want to earn an income and do you have a spare room but you will never see one inviting disabled people to come forward".
The project aims to recruit four foster agencies across England and to explore their approaches and attitudes toward disability, before working with them in ways designed to make practice disability-friendly. The outcomes of the project will be used to inform practice nationally and internationally.
Evan Odell, DRILL programme officer at Disability Rights UK said:
"We're delighted to be funding this project, run by and for disabled
people. The results will help support disabled people to live more
independently, and be part of the communities they live in."
Launched in 2015, the DRILL programme is fully funded by the Big Lottery Fund and delivered by Disability Rights UK, Disability Action Northern Ireland, Inclusion Scotland and Disability Wales. DRILL is funding more than 30 research and pilot projects over a 5 year period, all led by disabled people.

20 November 2020 / Hand Sanitiser
With the second wave of infections now in full force, news agencies from around the world are reporting that hand sanitiser prices are peaking in line with infection rates.
In New York city, three separate firms were taken to court for price gouging, whereby the prices of standard hand sanitiser products were drastically inflated to play on people's fears during the pandemic.
The three firms in question were named as Mobile Rush, EMC Group, and Northwest-Lux, each of whom sold their products through the online retailer Amazon.
As NBC news reports, "Northwest-Lux charged Amazon shoppers $79.99 to $129.99 for 2-liter bottles of Purell, which are typically priced between $20.87 to $35.00, the attorney general's office said. In another case, Mobile Rush charged consumers $19.99 to $29.99 for single, 8-ounce bottles of Germ-X hand sanitizer, which is higher than their standard price of $1 to $3."
Together, the companies had sold more than 1,000 units at, what the New York Attorney General's office described as, "… prices that grossly exceeded the price at which the same or similar products were readily obtainable."
The sellers must now reimburse their customer for the almost $23,000 which they overcharged, as well as paying the city more than $52,000 in penalties.
Amazon, for their part, have responded by removing hundreds of thousands of 'high-priced offers' and suspending thousands of sellers. Hand sanitiser, however, is not the only product targeted for price gouging, with hazmat suits, face masks and other coronavirus protections also subject to shocking price increases. In March, for example, CNBC found examples of "face masks being sold for as much as $195".
In total, New York City's Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) said it had received more than 12,000 complaints of price gouging between March 5th and November 9th.
"Instead of ensuring individuals could protect themselves from the coronavirus, these businesses operated with dirty hands by charging exorbitant prices on hand sanitizer and other cleansing products," said Letitia James, the New York Attorney General. "My office will continue to clean up this unlawful practice by using all of the tools at our disposal to prevent price gouging during this pandemic."
However, the price spike for hand sanitiser is not a problem exclusive to New York. A November report by Business Insider finding that, "Hand sanitizer prices have jumped by a massive 53% in the US during the pandemic."
While the Financial Times reports that other goods have also witnessed price hikes, stating that, "The average price of bleach was up 21%, paper towels 19%, and both laundry detergent and washing-up liquid 10%." Worst of all were hand gels, where "Average in-store prices of hand sanitizer rose 53%."
As the number of cases coronavirus cases steadily grows, so does public fear, changing shopping habits, and causing panic buying.
Recent data released at the end of October by retail data analysts at Inmar Intelligence found that, "57 percent of shoppers are considering replenishing their stockpile of goods originally created at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic." While more than a quarter of shoppers were concerned about shortages of basic goods, even items such as meat.
Consequently, some people are beginning to stockpile, with the most commonly hoarded products being toilet paper (67 percent) and hand sanitizer (57 percent).
For now, much of the stockpiling being seen in the second wave of COVID seems reserved to America, with grocery prices and availability fairly stable across most of Europe. However, as the weeks of lockdown begin to turn into months, no one can be certain that desperate economics will not start to play a role in supermarkets and pharmacies. And as the colder weather sets in, keeping hands clean and pathogen free is not just a question of avoiding coronavirus, it also means avoiding the flu.
If you are not sure whether you are overpaying for your hand sanitiser products, or if you want to be certain that you are purchasing a quality product from a trusted supplier, then visit the AG PROTECT website.
AG PROTECT, who sponsor this website, is a renowned supplier of hand sanitisers, cleansing gels, and disinfecting sprays whose products meet EU standards at a fair price.

Brunch Mediterranean
Passo London Best Italian in Shoreditch
by jesus
Joe Howley (ex-Salt Yard) joins Shoreditch's Italian-inspired restaurant Passo, bringing a more refined approach to traditional, southern European cooking.
Joe's direction will see the menu transform, becoming a more eclectic dining experience that will reflect his experiences at Salt Yard, complimented by influences from his travels. Joe's cooking celebrates exceptional produce and bold Italian flavours. He is adept in reinterpreting tradition – apparent in particular with his hand-rolled pasta dishes.
For example, his take on Doppio Ravioli becomes a confit rabbit dish for sharing and his Ox Cheek Pappardelle is flavoured with n'duja. October 2019 Joe says 'Passo is a beautiful restaurant and the opportunity to head up such a significant space in this part of town is an exciting one. I'm looking forward to bringing my own style of cooking and cooking in the open kitchen, introducing a menu inspired by Italian ingredients and techniques.' In the pasta section, you'll find dishes such as:
Sweetcorn Mezzelune (£8), crescent shaped parcels exploding with flavours of oregano, butter and sweetcorn, fresh Orecchiette with Girolles and Buffalo Camembert (£8.50).
The seasonal pizzas such as the Wild Mushroom (£14) and Spicy Salami (£14) are a timely introduction to the winter season.
Also key to note are the sharing plates split into sections Meat, Fish and Vegetables and featuring dishes such as delicate Octopus Carpaccio with Lemon Mascarpone (£9.50),
Oven Roasted Delica Pumpkin with Harissa and Smoked Almonds (£8),
Chargrilled Honey Aubergine with Shallots (£7) and crispy Braised Lamb Belly Croquettes (£7). Joe's career has included two successful years as Head Chef of Spanish-Italian restaurant, Salt Yard in Fitzrovia.
Passo's impressive bar showcases a wine list from Zeren Wilson, journeying from Italy to California, celebrating the diversity of indigenous varietals and smaller growers, who embody a low intervention winemaking ethos. Passo's cocktail list brings together innovative and playful cocktails, including the Strawberry Souffle, a sweet and sharp concoction of Bombay Sapphire, Lemon Juice, Rose Syrup, Egg White and Strawberry and their lavender infused Hendricks with Orange Bitters, named A Good Night's Sleep.

50 Years After 1968, We Are Still Living In Its Shadow
Troops were on patrol as protests and arson roiled Washington after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.
Darryl Heikes—Bettmann Archive/Getty Images
By Jon Meacham
Meacham is the author of Destiny and Power: The American Odyssey of George Herbert Walker Bush
No one in the loop–including, almost surely, the man himself–was sure he would really do it. On March 31, 1968, Lyndon B. Johnson was scheduled to address the nation about the Vietnam War at 9 p.m. He had drafted a short section for the end of the speech announcing that he would not seek re-election in November. The President had talked about it with family and a few advisers, but the circle of trust was small after more than four years of tumult and war. As political a man who ever drew breath, Johnson kept his options open through the afternoon hours. At one point, the President stopped in his aide Marvin Watson's office to talk about the race with Terry Sanford, the former North Carolina governor who had agreed to manage the 1968 campaign. "After spending all day at the White House," recalled Johnson adviser John P. Roche, "Terry Sanford left for the airport still under the impression that he was the campaign manager." Only a few hours later, on television, Johnson withdrew, solemnly drawling, "I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your President." Roche couldn't believe it. "I had already put an LBJ '68 bumper sticker on my car," he said, "and I was wearing an LBJ '68 button. We were left with 15,000 of the goddamn things."
The watershed of 1968 was that kind of year: one of surprises and reversals, of blasted hopes and rising fears, of scuttled plans and unexpected new realities. We have embarked on the 50th anniversary of a year that stands with 1776, 1861 and 1941 as points in time when everything in American history changed. As with the Declaration of Independence, the firing on Fort Sumter and the attack on Pearl Harbor, the events of '68 were intensely dramatic and lastingly consequential. From the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in April and of Robert F. Kennedy in June to the violence at the Democratic National Convention in August to the election of Richard Nixon in November, we live even now in the long shadow of the cascading crises of that year.

History shouldn't be a cultural Zoloft, alleviating the pervasive depression of a time as dispiriting as our own in 2018. The past can, however, give us a sense of proportion–a framework in which to assess where our discontent ranks in terms of what has come before. And in that light, there's an element of reassurance in looking back on 1968 from the perspective of half a century. A book by British journalists on America in 1968 was titled, aptly, An American Melodrama; the year was also, inescapably, a time of American tragedy. For all the unhappiness and madness of the present, for all the tribal conflicts of the Age of Trump, we are not–at this hour, anyway–engaged in a consuming war, and political violence is largely restricted to argumentative agitation. Tet, we should remember, was worse than any single tweet.
As 1968 began, the war in Vietnam was going badly and was about to get worse. More than half a million U.S. troops were there, and combat deaths occurred at a rate of about 46 U.S. troops a day, for a total of 16,899 that year. It was a terrible, tragic time. The promises of JFK's New Frontier and LBJ's Great Society seemed irretrievably lost in the humid jungles and sharp elephant grass of Southeast Asia. Johnson's decision in March to stand down from re-election was the result of the apparent insuperability of the war. From the first phase of his presidency, in the wake of John F. Kennedy's assassination in November 1963, Johnson had worried that Vietnam posed a tragic trap, and his worst anxieties had come true.
Four days after his March 31 speech, Johnson received word that King had been shot to death on a motel balcony in Memphis, where the civil rights leader was headquartered as he supported a strike of sanitation workers. King was not yet 40 years old. Thrust into history by the antisegregation Montgomery bus boycott in 1955, a movement set off by Rosa Parks' refusal to surrender her seat to a white passenger, King had been crucial in the formation and promulgation of the civil rights crusade's commitment to nonviolence. By framing the struggle against Jim Crow and for equal opportunity as a fulfillment of Thomas Jefferson's promises in the Declaration, the African-American Southern Baptist minister had become, in the phrase of historian Taylor Branch, a "new founding father."
On the road in Indianapolis, Robert F. Kennedy, who was seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, learned about King's murder from R.W. Apple Jr. of the New York Times. Wearing an overcoat that had belonged to his brother Jack, RFK broke the news to an inner-city crowd. "What we need in the United States," he said, "is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness; but is love and wisdom and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or whether they be black."

A noble moment, but the fates were not yet satisfied. In April, Jacqueline Kennedy had shared her premonition of disaster. "Do you know what I think will happen to Bobby?" she asked Arthur Schlesinger Jr. "The same thing that happened to Jack … There is so much hatred in this country." She was proved correct in June, when Robert F. Kennedy was gunned down in the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles after winning the California primary. Back in the ballroom, a woman screamed, "No, God, no. It's happened again."
The fear that the world was out of balance in a fundamental way helped Nixon, who had only narrowly lost to John F. Kennedy eight years earlier, prevail, also narrowly, in November against Hubert Humphrey. The dynamics of the '68 campaign resonate still: Nixon–advised, among others, by Roger Ailes, who would go on to found Fox News–campaigned on a cultural populism, arguing that elites were undercutting American greatness and implying that minorities were too.

Even more relevant to our current politics was the presence, and ultimate performance, of a third-party candidate in 1968, George C. Wallace of Alabama. A cigar-chewing segregationist and populist, Wallace campaigned as a champion of the common white man. "You just watch him in the years ahead," an Alabama political observer told Wallace biographer Marshall Frady in 1967. "He can use all the other issues–law and order, running your own schools, protecting property rights–and never mention race. But people will still know he's tellin' 'em, 'A nigger's trying to get your job, trying to move into your neighborhood.' What Wallace is doing is talking to them in a kind of shorthand, a kind of code." And it worked. In November, Wallace carried 13.5% of the popular vote nationally and won five states: Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, Arkansas and Mississippi, giving him 46 electoral votes. It was not a bad starting point for a subsequent populist candidate who would tell voters that walls and tariffs would bring back the America they thought they had once known.
As battered and beleaguered as he felt, Johnson, that old New Dealer, never gave up hope. After his last speech, delivered in December 1972 at a civil rights conference at his presidential library–he would be dead within six weeks–he urged activists to fight on. "Let's try to get our folks reasoning together and reasoning with the Congress, with the Cabinet!" the former President said. "Reason with the leadership and with the President! … And you don't need to start off by saying he's terrible–because he doesn't think he's terrible. Start talking about how you believe that he wants to do what's right and how you believe this is right and you'll be surprised how many men who want to do what's right will try to help you." Perhaps, half a century on, in our own troubled time, we can appropriate that benediction as the resonant lesson of a brutal age.

Militant/Mike Shur It was working people, not the government who cleared roads, fixed schools after hurricane, Rafael Feliciano, Federation of Puerto Rican Teachers, told June 2 protest in front of U.N.
NEW YORK — Nearly 200 people protested outside the United Nations here June 2 to demand a truthful accounting of the death toll in the wake of Hurricane Maria's devastation in Puerto Rico, deaths caused by the indifference of the governments in Washington and San Juan. They also demanded an audit of the colonial government's $74 billion debt to holders of the island's bonds.
Hanging behind the speakers platform was a large blue tarp that read "4645 #audit PR deaths," a reference to a recently released Harvard University study that said that the official death toll of 64 was nowhere near the real figure. The tarp symbolizes the tens of thousands of homes without roofs, that are still protected only by blue tarps that were distributed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The U.S. agency has rejected more than 300,000 requests for aid to rebuild damaged homes.
The protest was initiated by Union Theological Seminary; Fort Washington Collegiate Church; Middle Collegiate Church; Intersections, a project of the Collegiate churches; and Uprose, a long-time Latino organization in Brooklyn.
Rafael Feliciano, organization secretary of the Federation of Puerto Rican Teachers, told the crowd about his experiences after the storm in Cayey, Puerto Rico, where he lives.
Feliciano said that teachers organized with parents and others in their local communities to clean up and restore the schools, even though "the Department of Education threatened them," claiming they would get more funding if the schools were left damaged.
"We protested, we forced them to reopen more than 90 percent of the schools," he said.
The same day, hundreds of Puerto Ricans took part in creating a powerful memorial to those who died as a result of the hurricane, placing their shoes outside the U.S. colony's Capitol. Over hours, more than 1,600 pairs of shoes were placed in the square, many accompanied by notes, flowers and Puerto Rican flags.
Word of the memorial spread over social media, and people came from all over the island. "The deaths are the responsibility of a government that does not respond and of another government that supposedly is supportive but what it is really doing is destroying," professor Luisa Márquez told Primera Hora, referring to the governments of both Puerto Rico and the U.S.
Others who spoke at the New York action included Elizabeth Yeampierre, executive director of Uprose; Judith Sheridan-González, president of the New York State Nurses Association; Alejandro Molina, a key organizer of the fight to free Puerto Rican independence fighter Oscar López, who won release last May after more than 35 years in U.S. prisons; and several members of New York's Puerto Rican community.

Volunteer Alexandria -Business Can Be a Force for Good
How people contribute to the community, to customers, and to employees are today's modern criteria. In fact, the contribution to fellow Americans is more important than ever.
By Marion Brunken, Executive Director
Alexandria, VA – "Community is good to you and it is important to give back to the community," says John Renner, Renner and Company, CPA.
John shares my belief that success is not defined by how much money you make. How we contribute to our community, our customers, and our employees are today's modern criteria. In fact, the Business Roundtable just announced a new definition of the purpose of today's corporations, that the purpose of business is to serve all Americans.
John's wife, Joan Renner, adds that building a strong community is like making soup. It takes many ingredients and everyone contributes something unique to make it better. "As an accounting firm with over 30 employees, we have many talents to add to the success of an organization," says Joan.
John and Joan are longstanding Alexandria community leaders. They both started volunteering as young adults. Joan taught dance to young people at a little school that used to be on W. Windsor Avenue. She said it was a good experience for her as well as for the students. John started in the 1970s with the Northern Chapter of the Virginia Society of Certified Public Accountants.
The Renners are Living Legends and still support many agencies by serving on boards. John recently completed two terms as president of the NoVa Community College Foundation, where he helped make higher education more accessible. He has also chaired the board of Ivy Hill Cemetery where he worked with fellow board members to enhance the sustainability of the organization. Last year, John spearheaded creation of the Rotary Club of Alexandria Central with a core group of founders and served as the Club's first president.
Both John and Joan have served as chair of the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce, promoting Alexandria business. They are possibly the only married couple to have both served in that capacity. Through her service on the Board of Goodwin House Foundation, Joan helps uplift the lives of older adults. As chair of the Scholarship Fund of Alexandria, she helped T.C. Williams High School students go to college and helped support the community through fellowship as president of the Rotary Club of Alexandria.
Today, the Renners believe that giving back and being involved in the community is a great benefit to their company. Employees are encouraged to be involved with organizations and causes. Every year, the firm participates in Volunteer Alexandria's Volunteer Day. This year, five members of Renner and Company, along with family and friends, participated in the activities of the Rotary Club of Alexandria Central. They helped the club make 15 grants to local charities that help youth and individuals with special needs. The firm encourages and supports the community involvement of its entire staff.
As a result of engagement, John and Joan have seen the company thrive. The firm receives a lot of their clients because people know them in the community. Staff involvement has many benefits to the company, including marketing, strengthening the firm's reputation, and developing staff professionally. Staff members spend time communicating with nonprofit leaders to learn about the issues Alexandria is facing. With their strong accounting backgrounds, they are often asked to apply critical thinking and business logic to these issues.
"When serving on nonprofit boards and committees, they contribute to their own professional growth as well. They are able to broaden their experience, learn from others with diverse perspectives, and apply their unique gifts and talents," says Joan.
Socially responsible businesses are leading the way in 21st century business enterprise (Deloitte's 2019 Report). This philosophy aligns personal and company values, redefining success as achieving both monetary growth and community impact.
If that describes your business, and you want to match your passions with the right community cause, you can turn to Volunteer Alexandria for help. We enable businesses to address pressing needs by engaging their employees in community service. Through the Business Connection program, we offer employees and members opportunities to actively engage in community life, to participate in teambuilding projects, and to gain expertise that increases skills, while aligning the company's mission and goals with community service.
Joan Renner reminds us that we should "never underestimate our unique talents. It's our job to share our gifts with the world!"

Extractions: By John Dodderidge A s a youngster growing up in a Georgia, Charlie Ward was taught by his parents to always be humble and respect others. He has carried that on through his life as a son, brother, husband and professional athlete. "My parents guided me in the right direction. If the example is not there, you could have false teachings," said Charlie, one of seven children in the Ward family. All seven have grown up and entered successful careers. Charlie's Partner Much like her husband, Tonja H. Ward works in the athletic arena. She is a minority partner for a new sports management firm in New York City started by former NBA star Alex English. A 1995 graduate of the University of Miami law school, Tonja moved to New York to work for a litigation firm on Park Avenue. She also married Charlie Ward that same year. The two had been friends dating back to 1989 when they met through their parents at a class reunion in Thomasville, Georgia. "It's been a blessing to have Charlie in my life. He helps keep me focused. He's my partner. It helps that we are in the same field. We have quite a bit in common," said Tonja, who grew up in Atlanta and got her undergraduate degree at Spelman College.

Extractions: Although Charlie Ward won almost every single individual award possible his senior season at FSU, Ward never lost the sight of the fact that the Lord was the one who created him, blessed him with athletic ability, and gave him the opportunity to win for His greater glory. I had the opportunity to watch him air it out against the GaTech Yellow Jackets both in Atlanta in 92', and in Tallahassee in 93'. In 94' I got to see him surprise the GaTech BB squad with a last second lay up. Role models have all but disappeared from sports, it is good to see that some still exist.

Saw limited action during sophomore season of 1991 behind QB starter Casey Weldon.
Extractions: By Linda Chen A Multi-Sport Star Charlie Ward was born and raised in Thomasville, Georgia. At an early age, Charlie showed rare athletic gift in multiple sports. In high school, he starred on both the football and basketball team where his father coached. The senior Ward recognized something special in his son early on. "I coached him four years in high school. When he was in ninth grade, I could tell he was a special player," said Charlie's dad. "He was a good passer. He's never been a big scorer. He scored when he had to on lay-ups and short jumpers. He led the team in rebounding for three years as a point guard." Ward's athletic talents were soon noticed by the legendary Florida State football coach Bobby Bowden. He told Ward that if he could get his grades up, then someday he can be the quarterback for the Seminoles and play basketball too. Ward didn't' back down from the challenge. After spending one year at Tallahassee Community College, he enrolled at FSU in 1990. Charlie joined Florida State's football and basketball programs at the bottom of the depth chart, but his hard work and perseverance finally paid off. He soon became the starting point guard for the Seminoles and led the team to the Sweet 16 in 1992. That fall, Bowden made the 6' 2" Ward his starting quarterback.

Extractions: Charlie Ward exploded on the national college football scene in his senior year, emerging as the very best player in the United States, and becoming Florida State University's first Heisman Trophy Winner (1993). As the nation's premier quarterback in 1993, Charlie averaged 6 yards every time he ran the ball.
Extractions: When I grew up (just outside of Kansas City Missouri ), these were just called "tennis shoes" or "sneakers." However, in the Northeastern United States, there were a variety of interesting names for these "no-name" sneakers: In parts of New Jersey , these were called "Bobos." However, in Pittsburgh , they were called "Fishheads." Up to the early 1970's, Chucks were pretty much the standard sneaker for Baby Boomer Boys growing up and playing basketball.... up to the time that adidas became popular. Then, some sneaker manufacturers started adding stripes to their same old product. There were two basic questions in picking out your sneakers in the early days: " High-top or low-top ?" "Black or white?" For those not wanting to spend extra (or, as is true now, whose parents didn't want to spend extra) to get the genuine article, the major department stores and shoe stores all had their Chuck Clones. Around 1970, the genuine "Chuck Taylor" All-Star went for around $10, while you could have a pair of quite functional Chuck Clones for $5. There were also generic running-type sneakers in the 1960's and 1970's, that were more or less "

Extractions: by Ryan Sherwin For a man who claims to shoot a 100 on the golf links "on a good day," Charlie Ward surely matches that with a 100% effort on the basketball court. Ward is the talented point guard of the New York Knicks who can bring thousands of fans to their feet with his electrifying play. He is entering his 7th season with the Knicks, and this seasoned veteran is not just an amazing player, but he is also an amazing person. Teenspeak spoke with Ward recently and discovered he doesn't just play basketball. He gives 100% of himself to helping to raise money to benefit kids that need it. His annual golf outing, held September 25th this year, helped to raise money for the March of Dimes. Ward has held charitable golf outings for many years, and sees it as a great opportunity to give back to the community. "It's been a blessing having friends and companies come and be a part of it. It's something that you take for granted, but once you sit down and think about all of the people that come and support you and the charity, it's really special," he told Teenspeak. And, this year was no different. With celebrities like Harry Carson, John Starks, Eric Strickland, Branford Marsalis, Jeff Van Gundy, LaPhonso Ellis, Monty Williams, (and others) the outcome can only be a guaranteed success. While in his golf attire, Teenspeak asked whether there were any basketball "handicaps" he wanted to reveal. Ward indicated that he just wants to improve his overall game. This Heisman Trophy winner in college football believes that there is always room for hard work and improvement. This reporter believes that Charlie Ward is performing at the level that he was always capable of reaching during his hardwood career.

Solicitor General takes fresh pop at PunterNet
Baird blasts web-based brass band
Jane Fae Tue 26 Jan 2010 // 10:50 UTC
The website PunterNet, which provides a forum for sex workers and clients in the UK, was singled out for a slapping last autumn by Harriet Harman. Naturally the site saw its figures rocket as it was brought to wider attention. The government is now gunning for it again, but who'll benefit this time?
It's not hard to see why the site is a target. PunterNet says it "aims to promote better understanding between customers and ladies in hopes that everyone may benefit, with less stressful, more enjoyable and mutually respectful visits", but the escort listings, reviews of working girls' performance and handy primers including "The beginner's guide to saunas and massage parlours" may be considered a little tacky.
What is not on the site, however – unless one assumes that a very high proportion of those posting do so under duress – is much sign of "prostitutes being offered for sale". Regardless, this does not wash with government.
The Deputy Prime Minister's very public attack on it at the Labour Party Conference in 2009 described the site as new, when at that time it had been in operation for ten years: the following days saw site traffic rise by around 200 per cent. Last week it was the turn of the Solicitor General Vera Baird to have a go, taking a similarly inaccurate line.
Taking part in a Westminster Hall debate on Violence against Women, Baird said: "A well-known website called 'PunterNet' has been mentioned, where not only are prostitutes offered for sale, but there are comments about how they have performed. We want to close that down as quickly as we possibly can."
The difficulty of obtaining such a closure has already been addressed: as the main site is based in California, this would require agreement from the US authorities, who are quite wedded to the whole free speech thing. Harman has already been on the Governator's case about it, to no avail.
We asked the Office of the Attorney General, to whom Ms Baird reports, whether it was right that such a senior law officer should mislead when it comes to serious matters such as individuals being offered for sale. They declined to answer, but referred us to the Equalities Office, where a spokeswoman told us: "The Government is committed to reducing the demand for prostitution and tackling sex trafficking, which is illegal, exploits women, and is connected to serious organised crime.
"PunterNet is a website which provides a discussion forum and user 'reviews' of prostitutes in the UK - websites such as this normalise and promote payment for sex, thereby hindering the Government's work to halt human trafficking."
In other words, in order to disrupt an illegal activity, it is OK to clamp down on a legal one. In so doing, organisations such as the International Union of Sex Workers have frequently accused government of doing more harm than good: by disrupting safer means for sex workers to deal with clients, they force them into more dangerous situations.
The PunterNet message board currently carries a forum specifically dedicated to alerting sex workers to known dangerous clients. A "sticky" thread on the main UK/Ireland forum provides advice on what individuals should do if they suspect an underage or trafficked girl.
Still, if Harman's foot-shooting is anything to go by, that thread and the site itself will get another slew of visitors in the wake of Baird's comments. Progress or what? ®
Bairdnote
Ms Baird is no stranger to controversy. In December 2009, she was cleared of all charges after her puppy left a deposit on Kings Cross station, and Ms Baird failed to clean it up. A female passer-by took issue with Ms Baird's actions and a row ensued: a PCSO intervened to calm the two women.
Ms Baird claimed she had been unable to clean up the mess, had asked cleaning staff for help, and had absolutely not uttered the immortal words: "Do you know who I am?"
After a six-week investigation, British Transport Police decided to take no further action.

Secret courts plan under attack despite Tory concessions
Civil rights groups warn that revised Bill would still throw a 'cloak of secrecy' over trial proceedings
Nigel Morris
Ken Clarke says the measures were still 'less than perfect'
Moves to allow some courts to sit behind closed doors to hear evidence from spies will "throw a cloak of secrecy" over the country's judicial system, human-rights campaigners warned yesterday.
The Government's original plans for a major extension of "secret courts" in civil proceedings have been substantially scaled back in the face of protests from lawyers and MPs of all parties.
But the Justice and Security Bill, which was finally published after wrangling within the Coalition, still faces widespread criticism for undermining fundamental British principles of open justice.
Critics also warned that the revised proposals could still prevent the public from learning about allegations of complicity in rendition by the intelligence services.
Courts will still be able to hear evidence in secret, known as closed material proceedings, but only when national security was the justification. Inquests have been removed from the plans and judges, not ministers, will have the power to order the secret sessions.
The Government said the power is essential to allow it to defend itself against vexatious civil court cases and to reassure foreign countries – specifically the United States – that sensitive material can be safely shared with Britain.
Kenneth Clarke, the Justice Secretary, said the measures were "less than perfect – but at the moment the alternative is silence".
But Lord Macdonald, a former director of public prosecutions, warned that the legislation had been improved but was still flawed. He told the BBC Radio 4: "Some government wrongdoing in the area of national security is going to be less likely to see the light of day. So I think the Bill still contains much which is offensive to our traditional notions of equal parties adjudicating cases in front of an impartial judge."
Alice Wyss, of Amnesty International, said: "We still need to carefully examine the details of the Bill. But our concerns still stand: that the Bill will allow the Government to throw a cloak of secrecy over wrongdoing including the alleged involvement by UK officials in rendition, secret detention and torture."
Shami Chakrabarti, the director of Liberty, said: "This Bill would end equal open civil justice, putting ministers and securocrats above the law."
She said under the proposals judges would still be required to comply with ministers' requests for secrecy.
Launching the Bill, Mr Clarke said the plans had been improved following consultation. "Protecting the public cannot come at the expense of our historic freedoms," he said. "That principle is absolutely right and has guided the Government's response. Civil claims of mistreatment or complicity in torture brought against British agents which cannot currently be heard in our courts can... be heard.
"[The Bill] will stop the taxpayer being forced to pay out compensation even where a case has no merit and will ensure that the public receives an independent judgment either way on serious allegations which have been laid against the Government."
But Sadiq Khan, the shadow Justice Secretary, said: "Our job, now the Bill is published, is to go through it with a fine-tooth comb and work out whether the Government has listened to concerns or whether it has simply pushed ahead regardless."
Clarke brands Tory Eurosceptics 'extremists'
Supporters of a referendum on Britain's membership of the European Union – including scores of Conservative MPs – were dismissed by Kenneth Clarke yesterday as a "few extreme nationalist politicians".
In comments certain to antagonise the Tory right, the Justice Secretary insisted there was little public appetite for a vote on whether to pull out of the EU.
Although he acknowledged the nation was a "bit eurosceptic", he said it was ridiculous to believe there was a public clamour for a referendum. He added: "It is the demand of a few right-wing journalists and a few extreme nationalist politicians."
Mr Clarke, regarded as the most pro-European Tory member of the Government, said a referendum would create "absolute confusion" and undermine efforts to retain the confidence of the markets in the British economy.
"It would settle nothing. Particularly it would settle nothing with the more frenzied eurosceptics who keep believing European bogies are under the bed," he told BBC Radio 4. More than 70 MPs of all parties have joined the People's Pledge campaign, which is calling for a referendum.

Three main Star Wars comic series have been produced since Marvel began releasing comics set in the Star Wars Universe in 2015. Several other short-run series and miniseries have been released that generally focus on specific events or characters. Marvel has also released graphic novels of all of the new films, most of which include additional scenes. The reading order is not as important for these series, but there is still a chronology that can be followed and the books fall into four specific eras.

The historic center of Krakow: what to see from the castle to the ghetto
At the stroke of every hour the past descends from above to caress the city. At any hour, day and night, 365 days a year, for centuries without interruption, a man looks out of one of the windows of the tower on the right of the church of Santa Mariain the heart of the city, on the market square, in the heart of historical center of Krakow. At the stroke of every hour from that slit a man plays a short melody on the trumpet which is interrupted with a truncated note. That sound remembers when the lookout, in 1241, announced to the sleeping city that the Tartars were about to arrive. While that truncated note, still today, recalls the sacrifice of the trumpeter hit in the throat by a Tartar arrow, which extinguished his life and silenced his voice. Legend or history? Difficult to say, indeed useless. Because once you get in Rynek Glòwny, the endless market square of medieval origin, the fulcrum of the historic center of Krakow, you will no longer wonder if that story is real. But you will be accompanied by that sound as if it has always been normal for you for a trumpet to mark the hours. And let the Tartars stampede at the gates of the night.
Strolling in the historic center of Krakow
Miracle of Krakow, a noble and timid city at the same time, the capital of the past and a precious amber jewel spared from the battles and bombs which, instead, have wreaked havoc on Warsaw. Here the buildings are still those of the era of king Sigismundthe atmosphere smells of tradition and people, more or less openly, continue to think they live in the most beautiful city in the country. Walking around to the historic center of Krakow, World Heritage Site, protected by UNESCO since 1987, anyone who thinks they are not wrong. You don't need a guide to understand this. Just walk the network of streets that intersect inside the old walls now demolished and transformed into an almost circular park, a white oasis of snow in the long Polish winter, where children slide on sleds alongside blond girls who walk quickly, with books under his arm, towards lessons at the University Jagiellonski, in the Middle Ages one of the most celebrated and famous universities. In the streets around noble palaces and churches, stalls of masterpieces sculpted inBaltic amber but also museums and art galleries where, with amazement, find yourself in front of the "Lady with an Ermine " by Leonardo, exhibited alongside other masterpieces of art. But all without emphasis or boasting. In fact, Krakow, especially in winter, reveals itself slowly, marking the time of the visit with the necessary stops in its thousands of bars. Bars, pubs, cafes, every corner and every staircase leads to a different and often beautiful and fascinating meeting place.
If in the Kazimierz district, old Jewish ghetto who saw the events told in Schindler's Listyou can stop in stone and wood cafes, lit only by candles and suffused with the notes of Chopin's sonatas, a short distance away, in the cellars of the 18th century buildings of Szewska, also here a few steps from the historic center of Krakow, new student-populated clubs resonate to the rhythm of the techno that comes from Berlin. While drinking good and inexpensive beer and the night becomes morning. Everything, and its opposite, in a city of 800,000 inhabitants, now often cited for being the birthplace of Karol Wojtyla (who was its archbishop), but who nevertheless looks forward without fear knowing that the internet will be the language of tomorrow even if many of the elderly still shake their helpless heads at hearing English words. The surrounding town is growing, Europe which is rising and incorporating is now the present, but in the streets of Stare Miastothe old city, or between the buttresses of the Wawel Castle it still seems to breathe the air of a glorious past that decades of totalitarianism that came from the east have not extinguished. Also thanks to a man who watches over the city night and day. And with his trumpet he says that everything is fine.
