The African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights (also known as the Banjul Charter) is an international human rights instrument that is intended to promote and protect human rights and basic freedoms in the African continent.
It emerged under the aegis of the Organisation of African Unity (since replaced by the African Union) which, at its 1979 Assembly of Heads of State and Government, adopted a resolution calling for the creation of a committee of experts to draft a continent-wide human rights instrument, similar to those that already existed in Europe (European Convention on Human Rights) and the Americas (American Convention on Human Rights). This committee was duly set up, and it produced a draft that was unanimously approved at the OAU's 18th Assembly held in June 1981, in Nairobi, Kenya.[1] Pursuant to its Article 63 (whereby it was to "come into force three months after the reception by the Secretary General of the instruments of ratification or adherence of a simple majority" of the OAU's member states[2]), the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights came into effect on 21 October 1986– in honour of which 21 October was declared "African Human Rights Day".[3]
Oversight and interpretation of the Charter is the task of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights, which was set up in November 2, 1987 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and is now headquartered in Banjul, Gambia.[4] A protocol to the Charter was subsequently adopted in 1998 whereby an African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights was to be created. The protocol came into effect on 25 January 2004.
In July 2004, the AU Assembly decided that the ACHP would be incorporated into the African Court of Justice. In July 2005, the AU Assembly then decided that the ACHP should be operationalised despite the fact that the protocol establishing the African Court of Justice had not yet come into effect. Accordingly, the Eighth Ordinary Session of the Executive Council of the African Union meeting in Khartoum, Sudan, on 22 January 2006, elected the first judges of the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights. The relationship between the newly created Court and the Commission is yet to be determined.
As of 2019, 53 states have ratified the Charter.[5]
2 Norms contained in the Charter
2.1 Civil and Political Rights
2.2 Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
2.3 Peoples' Rights and Group Rights
2.4 Duties
Content[edit]
The African Charter on Human and People's Rights includes preamble, 3 parts, 4 chapters, and 63 articles.[6] The Charter followed the footsteps of the European and Inter-American systems by creating a regional human rights system for Africa. The Charter shares many features with other regional instruments, but also has notable unique characteristics concerning the norms it recognizes and also its supervisory mechanism.[7]
The preamble commits to the elimination of Zionism, which it compares with colonialism and apartheid,[8] caused South Africa to qualify its 1996 accession with the reservation that the Charter fall in line with the UN's resolutions "regarding the characterization of Zionism."[9]
Norms contained in the Charter[edit]
Civil and Political Rights[edit]
The Charter recognizes most of what are regarded universally accepted civil and political rights. The civil and political rights recognised in the Charter include the right to freedom from discrimination (Article 2 and 18(3)), equality (Article 3), life and personal integrity (Article 4), dignity (Article 5), freedom from slavery (Article 5), freedom from cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment (Article 5), rights to due process concerning arrest and detention (Article 6), the right to a fair trial (Article 7 and 25), freedom of religion (Article 8), freedom of information and expression (Article 9), freedom of association (Article 10), freedom to assembly (Article 11), freedom of movement (Article 12), freedom to political participation (Article 13), and the right to property (Article 14).
Some human rights scholars however consider the Charter's coverage of other civil and political rights to be inadequate. For example, the right to privacy or a right against forced or compulsory labour are not explicitly recognised. The provisions concerning fair trial and political participation are considered incomplete by international standards.[7] However, this is subject to argument as for example Article 5 of the Charter states "Every individual shall have the right to the respect of the dignity inherent in a human being and to the recognition of this legal status. All forms of exploitation and degradation of man particularly slavery, slave trade, torture, cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment and treatment shall be prohibited" also, Article 15 states "Every individual shall have the right to work under equitable and satisfactory conditions, and shall receive equal pay for equal work" - which may be understood to prohibit forced or compulsory labour, although this is not explicitly mentioned. Similarly, the Charter does not explicitly recognise the right to vote as a means of political participation, but Article 13 states "(1) Every citizen shall have the right to participate freely in the government of his country, either directly or through freely chosen representatives in accordance with the provisions of the law. (2) Every citizen shall have the right to equal access to the public service of his country. (3) Every individual shall have the right of access to public property and services in strict equality of all persons before the law."
Economic, Social and Cultural Rights[edit]
The Charter also recognises certain economic, social and cultural rights, and overall the Charter is considered to place considerable emphasis on these rights. The Charter recognises right to work (Article 15), the right to health (Article 16), and the right to education (Article 17). Through a decision by the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights, SERAC v Nigeria (2001), the Charter is also understood to include a right to housing and a right to food as "implicit" in the Charter, particularly in light of its provisions on the right to life (Art. 4), right to health (Art. 16) and to development (Art. 22).[10]
Peoples' Rights and Group Rights[edit]
In addition to recognising the individual rights mentioned above the Charter also recognises collective or group rights, or peoples' rights and third-generation human rights. As such the Charter recognises group rights to a degree not matched by the European or Inter-American regional human rights instruments. The Charter awards the family protection by the state (Article 18), while "peoples" have the right to equality (Article 19), the right to self-determination (Article 20), to freely dispose of their wealth and natural resources (Article 21), the right to development (Article 22), the right to peace and security (Article 23) and "a generally satisfactory environment" (Article 24).
Duties[edit]
The Charter not only awards rights to individuals and peoples, but also includes duties incumbent upon them. These duties are contained in Article 29 and are as follows:
The duty to preserve the harmonious development of the family.
To serve the national community by placing both physical and intellectual abilities at its service.
Not to compromise the security of the State.
To preserve and strengthen social and national solidarity.
To preserve and strengthen national independence and the territorial integrity of one's country and to contribute to its defence.
To work to the best of one's abilities and competence and to pay taxes in the interest of society.
To preserve and strengthen positive African cultural values and in general to contribute to the promotion of the moral well-being of society.
To contribute to the best of one's abilities to the promotion and achievement of African unity.

Party America Celebrating booming business at its stores
By Kristen Bole
A little partying never hurt a business. At least that's what Marty Allen has found in transforming a small company on a downward spiral into the second-largest party retailer in the United States.
Alameda-based Party America has clocked 180.5 percent growth over the past three years, not counting the $50 million in sales from its franchises. The company listed $167.5 million in revenue last year, up from $111.8 million the year before and a mere $59.7 million in 2003. And that's in an industry in which shelves need to be nearly full the day before Halloween – but that same inventory has zero value the day after.
"Retail is hard," said Allen, Party America's President and CEO. "Trying to keep the right products all the time in your stores is very challenging."
Clearly the company is up for the challenge.
Party America has grown from 24 stores to nearly 300 nationwide, while building its staff to 2,400 in the main company and another 600 in its 60 franchises. That's a far cry from the Chapter 11 bankruptcy that Allen filed when he first bought the ailing 24-store company a decade ago.
"The plan was to fix the company and exit by selling to one of my competitors," said Allen. Then the industry took a downturn: "I ended up buying two of my competitors instead."
His secret is threefold. First, put a good team in place. Then make the stores a nice place to shop. And finally, make it a fun place for employees to work.
So they started with carpet on the floor and bigger stores. They made the aisles wider for women with strollers. They keep the bathrooms clean, decorate them for every holiday and give a highly coveted award for the best restroom in the company. Allen himself takes every customer call that comes into the office and reads every customer email.
And for staff, they offer free popcorn and try to have fun. They train well and hide nothing: Every staff member can know as much about the company's goals and direction as they want to learn.
"There's nothing you can do today that's 100 percent better than your competition, and if you do find something, the day after you start it, your competition will leapfrog it. Winning in business today is doing 100 things 1 percent better."
He cited Nordstrom as a role model. Its products aren't that different from the competition, but it has comfortable chairs for people to wait, it has live music on grand pianos, and it even makes the radical move of putting the men's restroom near the men's department. Independently, none of those things makes Nordstrom a success, but together, they give it an edge.
That's the kind of edge Allen strives for at Party America.
He said that he was in one of his stores a few years ago when he saw a customer rush out of the women's restroom. She grabbed her friend and dragged her in to see it.
Said Allen, "I thought, 'We have arrived as a retailer'."

i want to know if the relp protocol has more to it then a protocol that has been writen to the rsyslog

A: The RELP protocol has been designed by Rainer Gerhards, the author of rsyslog.
The only implementation I know of is librelp, which is used by rsyslog.

A: In addition to Philippe's answer: Logstash also has a RELP input. You can find the implementation here (for version 1.2.2):

PPC also stands for Pay Per Click advertising, and it simply means that you the advertiser pays each time someone clicks on your advert and is directed through to your website.
These adverts usually appear on the right hand side of Google when you search for a phrase or term and are typically under the heading "sponsored ads" although this is not always obvious.
One of the benefits of Pay Per Click advertising is that you only pay when a customer clicks on your advert, not when your advert is displayed. So you are only paying for those people that reach your site directly.
Q. Who offers PPC Advertising?
The main PPC advertisers are Google, Yahoo and Bing (MSN), however Google is the main player in this field and in the UK alone over 90% of all traffic goes through Google UK search which is why Google's PPC is the biggest and best for volume. (known as Google Adwords).
Google's PPC software is also more advanced that Yahoo and Bing and allows the advertiser more in terms of tracking, testing and functionality and it is often the starting point for most companies.
Q. How does the PPC software work?
First of all you create a campaign, you then create your advert which you want to be displayed and you select the keywords that you want to trigger your adverts in the search engines. You then need to set your tracking and testing features as well as your keyword variations.
Q. Why use PPC advertising?
Targetted Customers = Increase in Sales!
If set up correctly, a PPC campaign can send targetted people to your website who are searching for a particular product or service. These targetted people are more likely to convert into paying customers.
Another great benefit of using PPC advertising is that you setup a campaign and start driving targetted traffic to your website within a few minutes. Once your advert has been approved and your daily budget set your adverts will start showing! This is the quickest way of driving people to your website.
Q. What PPC services do you offer?
We currently offer 3 levels of packages at Website Internet Marketing Ltd. The first package is for a product that you are promoting and you would like an optimised campaign created for it. The second package is for a business related campaign that is selling multiple products and services across a market / niche. The third package is for us to optimse an already existing campaign to monitor this and maintain it.
Q. Who will be monitoring and tweaking my campaign each month?
All of our Google Adwords campaigns are created by our UK adwords qualified professionals that have completed the Google Adwords Advertising program and are recognised as a certified consultant.
1. Provide you with monthly reports.
2. Undertake keyword research for your products / services.
3. Install Conversion tracking so you know what words are leading to sales.
4. Maintain the campaign and remove keywords that are not performing.
5. Test new adverts on a monthly basis.
6. Create targetted adgroups for your keywords.
7. Break your keywords down into different match types.
8. Review your sales process and provide feedback.
9. Ensure the campaign is setup correctly to maximise your return on investment.
10. Setup your campaign on the content network, once it is profitable on the search network.

Oh, brother, this little spot in Norfolk has good gyros
By Judy Cowling
A gyro platter with salad, tzatziki and rice, and a gyro sandwich in a fluffy pita were two hits at Istanbul Gyro & Kebab on Monticello in downtown Norfolk. (Judy Cowling/ For The Virginian-Pilot)
My brother and I are very different on many levels. He's a left-brained, logical thinker who's meticulous with numbers and details while I'm right-brained and follow the organic and subjective route to most tasks and situations. I get befuddled by his adherence to schedules and he laughs at my inability to stick to "the plan."
But we both like food and each other, so I suggested I treat him to lunch to celebrate a recent birthday. He works in downtown Norfolk and I've been wanting to try the small, eye-catching red-and-white restaurant on Monticello, Istanbul Gyros & Kebab. It's a mere two blocks from his office.
We had agreed he'd walk over and meet me there, but I was early, so I picked him up. He didn't mind this change of plan because it was rather brisk outside. We arrived at noon-thirty, and there were no other folks around.
Sometimes this is a bad sign, but not so on this day. We chose a booth in front of the red-trimmed wall of windows that face Monticello. The sun streamed in, and we basked in the warm rays.
Our waiter, Kenneth Simonson, asked if we had any questions, gave us time to look over the menu, then came back to take our order. I ordered a cup of red lentil soup and found it rather chalky and flavorless. But the stuffed grape leaves were meaty, minty and wonderful.
Frank chose the gyro platter, because he prefers to order from a picture if he is unfamiliar with the cuisine, which he was. I chose the gyro sandwich on a fluffy pita drizzled with excellent tzatziki. Both meals held plenty of tender, deliciously spiced strips of the lamb and beef shaved from the vertical gyro rotisserie. Frank kept exclaiming, "This is lamb? I've never had lamb like this. This is great." (Oh, brother, you need to get out of the office more often.)
The homemade baklava arrived to the table warm and packed with the traditional honey-moistened nut filling, layered with ever-so-slightly crispy sheets of phyllo.
Simonson has worked at Istanbul for four years while studying mechanical engineering at ODU. His favorite thing on the menu is the homemade hummus. The garlicky spread appeals to his inner Italian.
Our lunches were stellar and perfectly priced at $10.95 and $6.95.
When the weather warms up a bit, I have a sneaking suspicion that my brother will become a regular. I'm also sure he'll bring along lots of folks from his office.
Istanbul is owned and operated by Ozturk and Erkan Karasoy. The restaurant used to be a pizzeria. Even though that was 11 years ago, they still get calls for pizza delivery, Simonson said.
He also said that Istanbul is available for catering orders with 24 hours' notice and that Postmates will deliver to most downtown businesses within 20 minutes.
There's plenty of parking around back, three bar seats overlooking the open kitchen and another three looking across the street to Scope and the downtown skyline.

Popping up
I think the folks at Grow, the Norfolk digital agency for pioneering brands, came up with a great name for the experimental kitchen space next door to their office space, where Field Guide used to be.
It's called ENJOY, and Grow labeled it "a space dedicated to the joy of creative exploration" when it launched in November. Chefs, artists and entrepreneurs have been popping in to share their creative passions with the community in this pop-up environment. Event presenters donate some of their proceeds to their charity of choice. Very cool.
Nomarama will present "Morning After Brunch" on Feb. 10. Javon Callier of Cookin' with Boi Boi LLC will be cooking up his Caribbean, soul and American fusion cuisine. He'll be serving red velvet chicken and waffles for $12, shrimp and grits for $10, brisket and sweet potato hash for $10, and veggie sweet potato hash also $10. Curried crab cakes, salmon sweet potato biscuits and B's banana pudding will be available, too.
Some of the pop-ups will require tickets, but guests can attend this one with no fee, just go in from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and order off the menu. Down Syndrome Association of Hampton Roads will be the charity.
An event on Feb. 17 is billed as "Table Manners by Veil Brewing Co.," with Chef Ian Hock, soon-to-be chef for Veil Brewing Co.'s new Norfolk location, and Matt Tarpey, Veil's head brewer. Tickets for the dinner with beer pairings cost $125 a person.
ENJOY, 429 Granby St., Norfolk, 757-431-7713, enjoywith.us.

I didn't know how I was going to react about an incestuous love story, but I certainly didn't expect myself to be pulling for the characters to get together in a nearly impossible situation. Suzuma takes a taboo subject and humanizes it, forcing you to see the fear and mental anguish that the characters feel while still being pulled together by their circumstances.
The plot centers around Lochan and his sister Maya, who is 13 months his junior. They have always felt more like best friends than brother and sister, and have been forced to become full-time caretakers to their 3 younger siblings after their father's abandonment to his new family across the world, and their mother's abandonment to alcohol and boyfriends. Lochan is troubled by severe panic attacks and crippling social anxiety, while being required to act as a father to his young (often quite rebellious) charges. The only person he feels he can be himself with is his sister, with whom he shares parental responsibility while constantly dodging the threat of their family being torn apart by Child Services. Feelings grow, and things get complicated.
The story is written in turns from both Maya and Lochan's perspective, which really helped me to connect with both characters. Their lives are complicated at best, and heartbreaking at worst, and I found myself crying several times from the emotional roller coaster. Suzuma somehow captures an unbelievably complicated range of emotions for her main characters, and I honestly have no idea how she did it. Highly recommended.

The Circus Market is a part of the circus tradition of Kerava, which originated from the famous circus and fairground family Sariola. The Sariola family moved to Kerava in 1921. Their fun-fair business grew and flourished here. The fun-fair was named Suomen Tivoli in 1929.
The first Circus Market was arranged in Kerava in 1977. It is a two day event that fills the streets of the centre with acrobats, jugglers, magicians and a happy crowd. In addition, approximately 200 market sellers arrive from different parts of Finland.
The centre of Kerava is filled with the wonderfully horrible scent of garlic during a late summer weekend The event is arranged by Valkosipulin ystävät ry. Attendants can taste a variety of garlic dishes, such as garlic ice cream, while enjoying the program.

Today I got a phone all from Merv Tano who was pleased with the website but also suggested some ares where we can improve.
1. He likes the EJ I and EJ II courses but feel that there is an information gap. The site showcases EJ issues but doesn't talk about the origin of EJ cases and instead focuses on the end product. He would like to see some material that focuses on the steps before these cases become ej problems.
2. There is no section to define the role of a scientist or science.
He says he would be more than happy to develop material with us and also to become a part of the group in some way. I have sent Cynthia his contact information so that she will follow up with him.

What Are Street & Road Signs Made Of?
admin | January 23, 2020
The earliest road signs were simple, made of wood or stone. And just as today, they were placed by the side of roads to give people information or directions. The Romans erected stone columns throughout their empire, informing travelers of how far they were from Rome — because, as we know, all roads lead to Rome. In the Middle Ages, multidirectional indicators at intersections became common, giving directions to cities and towns. Signs with directional arms were introduced in the United Kingdom and later Saxony, and they continued to develop up to the present, with pictorial signs using symbols in place of words. Present-day indicators were first developed in Europe and have been adopted by most countries.
The first known Traffic Regulation Act was established by King Peter II of Portugal. It directed the placement of priority indicators, which established the order of traffic passing through intersections. The first modern road indicators didn't come into existence until the late 1800s, when high bicycles were in common use. Because these bicycles were difficult to control, cycling organizations began placing new kinds of indicators that warned their riders of potential hazards ahead. The development of automobiles demanded still more complex signage systems for safety and efficiency.
The material with which signs were manufactured began to change just as their design did over the years, from pre-industrial street sign materials to cast iron after Abraham Darby developed the process of smelting iron. This lasted until the mid-19th century, when it was replaced by aluminum and, later, steel. Now, since 1945, most placards have been made from sheet aluminum with adhesive plastic coatings.
Types of Traffic Signs
Here are some of the most common types of traffic signs that we use today.
Warning signs indicate potential dangers ahead, such as a sharp bend or turn in the road, slippery road conditions, an intersection, a steep hill, or low clearance. They also warn of impending changes to the road, such as the appearance of a stop sign, merging traffic, reduced speed, a fire station, or deer/cattle/snowmobile crossings.
Railroad and Light Rail Transit Grade Crossing Signs
Railroad signs include alerts for a track crossing ahead, no signal at tracks, no train horn, an emergency notification for vehicles stalled on the tracks, a divided highway transit rail crossing, or a light rail transit station.
Temporary Traffic Control Signs
All temporary traffic control signs are orange and convey information about some type of road work, such as workers or flaggers approaching, a shoulder closure, exit or lane closures, or detours.
Regulatory signs that contain red include instructions like: stop, yield, do not enter, no parking, no U-turn or left turn, or hazardous materials prohibited. They also warn of multi-way stops. Black-and-white regulatory indicators include notifications for one-way roads, truck weight limits, an approaching HOV lane, and divided highways. Additional regulatory indictors are also used for mandatory movements in lanes at an intersection, such as proceeding straight ahead, or right/left turns only.
Guide signs indicate numbers for interstates, U.S. routes, and county routes, national scenic byways, destination distances, park and ride exits, mile markers, must-exit lanes, named highways, or hurricane evacuation routes.
Motorist Services and Recreation Signs
These indicators inform motorists and pedestrians where to locate recreational services. They are most often white on a blue or brown background. These include stops for food, lodging, telephone access, hospitals, bathrooms, rest areas, or handicapped-accessible facilities.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Signs
Pedestrian and bicycle indicators come in a variety of shapes, colors, and sizes. They include warnings for upcoming pedestrian crossings, playground, school crosswalks, bike routes, or warnings that no pedestrians, bicycles, and/or hitchhikers are allowed.
What are street signs made of?
Today's placards are made to last for many years, with varying types of reflective sheeting and offering different levels of retro reflectivity. Retroreflective sheeting is designed to reflect some of the light from vehicle headlights back to the driver so that a sign will be visible at night. The federally approved Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) provides specifications for sign dimensions, the use of symbols, and requires that all placards be either reflectorized or illuminated.
Street placards consist of three basic components: a blank, background sheeting, and sign copy. Blanks are usually constructed of aluminum, plywood, or steel, and serve as the framework of the placard. Plywood is the least expensive, though the most susceptible to weather damage. Aluminum is the most expensive and will not rust, but is very lightweight and so must be reinforced with metal braces along the back. Steel is altogether more economical: it is sturdy and does not need reinforcement, and rusting can be prevented by applying a coat of zinc to the steel blank.
Background sheeting, letters, and symbols for the sign copy are cut from retroreflective sheeting. This sheeting is made up of tiny glass beads embedded in a flexible plastic surface, which allows light from car headlights to be reflected off the indicator and back to the driver. If the sheeting is dyed with a pigment, colored light will be reflected from the sign. For example, red dye can be added to the sheeting mixture when it is in a liquid form to make a stop sign.
Always be sure to check your project-state specifications and documents to ensure compliance.
How are road signs made?
The production of indicators can involve many different processes depending on whether the retroreflective sheeting uses a pressure-sensitive or heat-sensitive adhesive. Additional considerations involve the inclusion of etching or silk-screening or the use of other coloring processes. In general, though, many street placards will go through the following manufacturing process using heat-sensitive adhesives.
Cut the blank. The sign blank is cut from a sheet of steel or aluminum by a metal shear machine or a band saw. Corners are rounded and holes for mounting are punched or drilled.
Check the blank. Blanks must be free from defects, contamination, or grime.
Degrease the blank. The blank surface is wiped with mineral spirits or naphtha, dried immediately with a clean, lint-free cloth, and then degreased by immersion in either a chemical or alkaline solution bath.
Cut the retroreflective sheets. Individual background retroreflective sheets are cut by hand; multiple sheets are cut using a bandsaw. Letters and symbols are then punched out from white or black retroreflective sheeting.
Apply the sheet to the sign blank. After the sheet is applied to the dry blank surface, the sign goes through a large squeeze-roller applicator to remove air bubbles. Edges are then trimmed.
Heat the sign. The placard is placed in a heat lamp vacuum applicator for one minute, removed, and allowed to cool before the sign copy and border are placed on the sign. Bubbles are again pressed out, and finally, the sign is covered with a plastic slip sheet and placed in the heat lamp vacuum applicator for another minute.

Christa Groshek interviewed by KSTP 5 Eyewitness News regarding Bar Breathalyzers
On behalf of Christa Groshek of Groshek Law PA posted in Drunk Driving Defense on Wednesday, January 9, 2013.
Attorney Christa Groshek was interviewed by Chris Egert, KSTP 5 Eyewitness News, on January 8th, 2013. The interview discussed the presence and use of the Intoxbox bar breathalyzers, in local establishments. The interview can be seen by clicking here.
Here is a summary of the KSTP 5 Eyewitness News story:
In 25 Twin Cities bars, you will now find a breathalyzer test hanging on the wall. It's the brainchild of a local company that says it wants to prevent people from driving drunk.
How much is too much after a night of beers at the bar? Minnesota made company Intoxbox wants to help guide your decision - with its breathalyzers.
Ryan Walden, President and Co-Founder of Intoxbox, mentions, "It is not a legal test. You can't use it to get out of a dui, it is just a point of reference so you can make an informed decision on whether or not you should get behind the wheel."
Most bar patrons we spoke to Monday night thought the IntoxBox seemed like a good idea. Burvis Beaty even tested it out for us. Beaty said it would stop him from getting behind the wheel if he'd had too much to drink, "Yeah - it would make me sit back for a while until it went down."
Minneapolis defense attorney Christa Groshek has concerns.
Groshek said, "I think there's a lot to be known about this piece of equipment."
Her experience has been that blood alcohol (BAC) typically keeps rising - so a passing test at the bar doesn't mean a safe and legal ride home
And she wonders if prosecutors could use the bar test against you as circumstantial evidence?
"It could be offered to show that the client, the defendant, had reason to believe they were over the legal limit," Groshek told us.
She also wonders about the accuracy of the machines.
IntoxBox says they test the machines monthly - but make it clear in a disclaimer screen that pops up when you pay your two bucks for a test - the company and bar cannot be held liable.
There are 70 bars around the country that have an IntoxBox.
The bars split the proceeds with IntoxBox - and the bars don't pay anything to have one.
We asked the Minnesota Department of Public Safety for comment on the IntoxBox. Department Spokesperson Bruce Gordon said:
"We support ideas that can help advance traffic safety in Minnesota, but the first and best defense against drunk driving is planning ahead for a sober ride.
These devices may help deter someone from getting behind the wheel when they've had too much to drink, but drivers should not rely on their accuracy for legal or enforcement purposes. Test results can be impacted by various factors that could lead to imprecise readings.
The devices used by law enforcement agencies across the state are tested and maintained to ensure accuracy, and officers who administer breath alcohol tests have been trained in proper procedures.

Shingles Vaccine Responsible for Causing a Huge Number of Shingles Cases
According to a recent report, the popular shingles vaccine Zostavax has found itself in a lot of trouble. Numerous cases of vaccine injury, even shingles itself, has been tied to the inoculation. Several families and patients that have been harmed by the product have filed multiple lawsuits against Merck, the company that produces Zostavax. The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) has received up to 80 deaths tied to the Zostavax vaccine. In addition, reports of other adverse side effects are over 100,000 reports.
The host of The Robert Scott Bell Show, Dr. Robert Scott Bell, explains why the vaccine is failing, "it's not facilitating natural antibody production." He also stated that he warned in the past of the potential of the shingles vaccine to cause more illness instead of preventing as it was designed to do.
"I think on some level, it's by design," Bell contends. According to Bell, vaccines are one of the many medical weapons he labels "disease creation machinery." He also added that this disease creation would eventually lead to a lifetime dependency on pharmaceutical intervention. He argues that antibodies alone are no longer enough to protect against some diseases. Although they do help, your immune system also relies on more than just antibodies. Even with an abundance of antibodies, as long as your immune system is weak, it won't function well.
This may be the reason why the shingles vaccine is so disastrous.
According to Drugwatch.com, 18 people have already filed a suit against Zostavax's parent company, Merck. The suit claims that Zostavax has led to several people developing shingles. "Merck knew or should have known that its product caused viral infection and was therefore not safe," the lawsuit alleges.
A couple of people had to be hospitalized and others even developed a chronic nerve pain known as "post-herpetic neuralgia." Jane Boda filed one of the earliest lawsuits in May 2018. The shingles vaccine caused her to suffer nerve damage and according to her, this risk was not made known to her.
Jane was not the only person to suffer from post-herpetic nerve pain. A couple of patients also said they developed acute retinal necrosis (ARN). ARN is a severe condition that affects the eye and can even lead to blindness. Other studies showed that ARN is a side effect of Zostavax. One woman suffered an injury to her right eye because she was injected with the vaccine. She is also suing Merck. Another man claims he lost the ability to walk after receiving a Zostavax vaccine.
Data from VAERS showed that at least 80 deaths have been linked to Merck's vaccine together with 102,962 adverse events or reports of vaccine injury. It should be noted that VAERS is a passive reporting system and most people consider it to be a very flawed design. The CDC itself has agreed that drawing fully formed conclusions from VAERS data is impossible because of the way it was created. This design is intentional; it creates the illusion of being concerned about vaccine reactions but also denies vaccines any culpability in the event of death or injury.

Seahawks' Bobby Wagner Says He Played with Injuries 'I Didn't Know About'
Joseph Zucker@@JosephZuckerTwitter LogoFeatured ColumnistJanuary 14, 2020
Lindsey Wasson/Getty Images
Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner said on Monday that he played through injuries he didn't even know about during the 2019 season.
According to Gregg Bell of the News Tribune, Wagner divulged that trainers told him after the Seahawks' NFC Divisional Round playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday that he suffered new injuries to his knee and a sprained ankle.
"I'll be taking care of my body," Wagner said. "There were a lot of stuff going on that I didn't know about. So I'm taking care of myself, healthwise. Having fun, doing the whole family thing, so that will be cool."
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll added that Wagner likely will not require surgery: "He found out today that there was something that he didn't know about. We didn't even know it was there. He had a little test done; I don't think it is going to require surgery or anything like that. He didn't even know he was hurt. Sometimes that happens."
The 29-year-old reached his sixth straight Pro Bowl and was an All-Pro for the fifth time in 2019. He led the NFL with 159 combined tackles, adding three sacks, one interception and six passes defended. The second-round pick out of Utah State has missed only one game (in 2018) over the last four seasons.
With the likes of Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, Michael Bennett, Kam Chancellor and others all long gone, Wagner is the unquestioned leader of the Seattle defense.
While the Legion of Boom secondary helped the Seahawks finish as one of the top defenses in football for several seasons in a row, Seattle was just 26th in total defense and 22nd in points allowed in 2019.
Since Wagner is one of the team's few constants and best performers on defense, the Seahawks rewarded him with a three-year extension worth $54 million total and $40.2 million guaranteed in July. He has undoubtedly lived up to that deal thus far.
With Wagner locked in, the big question on defense for Seattle entering the offseason is whether it will be able to re-sign defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, who figures to land a massive contract.
Regardless of what happens on that front, Wagner will continue to be the centerpiece of the defense in 2020 and beyond, provided his injuries are as manageable as expected.

The French Press with Bru-Stop from Planetary Design challenges the traditional glass French press, with its double-walled,vacuum-sealed body and patented Bru-Stop press technology.
Bru-Stop press technology is designed to create a physical barrier between the grounds and the brewed coffee, once it is fully pressed down. This stops the brewing process, preventing over-extracted, bitter coffee.The Bru-Stop features a precisely placed barrier plate which hovers over the French press screen, and allows the brewing coffee to flow freely until pressed. Once pressed all the way down, the plate then recesses into the ultra-fine mesh screen frame and together they provide a barrier between thegrounds and the brewed coffee. With this innovative design, you can brew your coffee just the way you like it, without the flavour profile changing from first sip to last, due to over-extraction.
Enjoy a flavourful and hot brew for hours using the French Presswith Bru-Stop from Planetary Designs.

Million Pound Challenge
Norwich No. 1 Round Table to the rescue!
A volunteer workforce from Norwich No. 1 Round Table helped us with the transportation of thousands of donations.
During the first lockdown, we organised a "Spring Clean" collection scheme, to encourage donations of stock for our seven charity shops. The scheme was so popular, that we required additional storage space after our warehouse was filled. Two 20-foot shipping containers were generously provided, without charge, by Cann Secure in Stratton Strawless, to hold the stock until it was needed for sale.
Norwich No. 1 Round Table, who have elected to support us with fundraising activities, had been rather thwarted in their plans due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but when the opportunity to help arose, they leapt at the chance.
Will Casson, Chairman of the Norwich No. 1 Round Table explained:
"When we heard that the charity needed assistance with the transportation of the stock from the storage site to the warehouse, I knew that the Club would be happy to help. 15 members, friends and Anglia Catering Equipment joined together as a volunteer workforce with cars, vans and trailers. In less than 2 hours, we got the job done, which saved the charity time and money and enabled them to supply fresh stock to their shops in time for Christmas."
Hugo Stevenson, our Head of Fundraising and Communications said:
"We were delighted that the members of the Norwich No. 1 Round Table helped with the transportation of stock for the charity. We have a very small team, which ensures that we can deliver 93p in every £1.00 raised into our fundraising appeal to build the new specialist hospice for Norfolk and Waveney. We are incredibly grateful for the support of individual volunteers, groups, clubs and businesses who assist us in so many different ways. They donate thousands of hours each year to support our appeal. We are always keen to speak to anyone who would like to help us, as every pound raised or saved gets us closer to building the new Priscilla Bacon Hospice."
We are still running our '£3 to Break Ground' fundraising campaign, which aims to take our appeal to the next milestone of £8 million. If you'd like to donate, you can do so here.

For a small and delicate flower that makes a big impact, you can't go wrong with johnny jump ups (Viola tricolor). The cheery purple and yellow flowers are easy to care for, so they're ideal for novice gardeners who want to add some color to their landscaping. A smaller relative of the pansy, johnny jump ups are a great selection when filling in under trees or in between larger shrubs. Keep reading for more information on growing johnny jump up flowers.
What is a Johnny Jump Up?
Also known as viola, wild pansy and heart's ease, the johnny jump up is actually a relative of the pansy. The difference between johnny jump ups and pansies is mostly one of size. Pansies have much larger flowers, although they look very similar. On the other hand, johnny jump ups produce many more flowers per plant and are much more heat tolerant, making johnny jump up planting even more ideal.
Plan to grow these flowers in beds, around tree bases and even mixed in with flowering bulbs. Johnny jump up flowers love sunshine, but they'll do well with partial sun, too.
Dig in plenty of compost to enrich the soil and help with drainage. Sprinkle a coating of seeds over the prepared ground and rake the soil to barely cover the seeds. Keep them well watered until germination, which should be in about a week to 10 days.
You'll get the best coverage if you plant seeds in the late summer or fall for next year's growth. With roots already established, the small plants will begin flowering first thing next spring.
Keep johnny jump up flowers watered but don't let the soil get soggy.
Pinch off dead flowers and stem ends to encourage bushier growth and more bloom production. Once the season is over, dig up the dead greenery and replant the bed for next year.
Surprisingly, johnny jump ups have an unusual use; they're one of a group of rare edible flowers. Along with violets and squash blossoms, these blooms can be picked, washed and added to salads, floated in cocktails and even frozen in ice cubes for a decorative touch at parties.

Your life as a movie
Felicity Beckett interviews Summit speaker and co-founder of the award-winning social media company Liberty842, Daisy Cresswell.
I meet with the fabulous and affable Daisy Cresswell in the bar at the Duke of York's and ask what the film of her life would look like. I immediately offer (as I have thought about it) that it would make a good sci-fi. She's intrigued so I go on. It would begin with her grandmother back in the 1950s answering her Bakelite phone with the perfect Brief Encounter vernacular of the time 'Liberty 842'-I should interject that this is also the name and the reason for the name of Daisy's Social Media Agency. The sci-fi would be provided by her being transported to the future and into the unrecognisable social media based, high tech world in which Daisy operates. I imagine her taking her jaw-dropped, eyes-popping Gran-as-young-woman through the virtual world in which she operates, the dramatic tension being caused by whether Gran can… Duh Duh Duuuuuh …Embrace the Unknown! It's a B-Movie.
Daisy has far better ideas for her movie. She begins to paint A Royal Tenenbaumesque family portrait for me and we are definitely talking an epic saga, a melodrama with great emotional sweeps from pathos to comedy. Huge characters all steeped in showbiz from vaudeville to modern musicals such as the bare knuckle fighting great great great granddad Tom Sayers to brother Luke Cresswell founder member of global phenomenon Stomp. The superbly monikered late Addison Cresswell, once managing agent to the likes of Jack Dee and Lee Evans. Business partner, elder sister and possible spy who is always right, Tayler Cresswell, credited as the brains of the operation by her generous younger sister. Harry Griffin, the other granddad, engineer during WWII turned special effects expert on James Bond. It's all there! And of course Daisy, the loud, brash, impetuous, huge-hearted younger sister for whom family is everything. The thread is entertainment, it's what they do and it's how they are with each other, story tellers, muckerabouters and international citizens. Which frames perfectly how Daisy does what she does so well. Oh yes, and comic relief provided by Trouble and Fluff, Daisy's very handsome cats.
Our movie has a working title of "The Cresswells" and pitched somewhere between Dallas and Corrie, co-directed by Alfred Hitchcock and Blake Edwards, a Stomp sound track (of course) and the costumier would be Edith Head. Classy.

When you're walking down Andrássy Boulevard (Budapest's longest road – and it's most grand!) you certainly can't miss the Budapest Opera House. It's one of the most striking sights on the boulevard, and possibly even one of the most beautiful buildings in the country.
It was built in Neo-Renaissance style during the reign of Franz Joseph. As you may know, there was a time when Hungary was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Meaning that the country belonged to Austria. So during this period, Franz Joseph was both the Austrian Emperor and the Hungarian King at the same time. He ordered an Opera House to be built in Hungary so both royalty and commoners could enjoy a bit of culture. However, as part of his order, he stipulated that the building can't be bigger than the Opera House in Vienna. Jealous much?
And so it is not – but it does have better acoustics. In fact, the Hungarian State Opera House has the second best acoustics in Europe (after the Scala in Milan). And the fifth best in the world. This really makes us Hungarians proud (well, the tiny percentage that actually attend the Opera!). The building itself is gorgeous outside and inside. In the main hall there is a wonderful marble staircase. This was constructed for Sissi (Queen Elizabeth), the wife of the emperor.
The marble statues of world-famous composers decorate the top of the building. And in the middle of the top, you can also read the sign: Franz Liszt (meaning: Franz Joseph was the king). At the base of the building there are two other marble statues standing. The one on the left represents Ferenc Erkel, the first director of the Opera House. And on the other side, we can see the statue of Franz Liszt, who was a world-famous composer with Hungarian roots.
There are opera, operetta and ballet performances several times a week in the evenings. Also there are various Sunday afternoon programs. The tickets are incredibly cheap so as to encourage visitors from all walks of life. Don't worry about dressing up super elegantly as casual dress is sufficient.
Furthermore there are guided tours organized, in several languages, several times daily. So don't miss out if you are a music or architecture lover.
On the other side of the Boulevard stands the former Ballet Institute, the Drechsler Palace.

Mead Traveling Film and Video Festival comes to Bloomington
The American Museum of Natural History's Margaret Mead Traveling Film and Video Festival, the premiere showcase for independent cultural documentaries in the United States, will be rolling in Bloomington from Feb. 23 through March 4.
This image was taken from the film "Awake Zion," which will be shown in Bloomington during the Margaret Mead Film Festival.
Each year, titles are selected from the annual Mead Festival in New York to travel to selected venues, bringing innovative non-fiction work to communities across the U.S. The films are grouped by program themes, and encompass a broad spectrum of work from indigenous community media to experimental nonfiction (see below for dates, times and descriptions). Bloomington will be the only city in Indiana hosting the festival this year. The festival was last held in Bloomington in 2005.
"This is a rare opportunity to see the films, grouped by themes," said Judy Kirk, assistant director of the Indiana University Mathers Museum. "For some people, this may be the only opportunity they have to see them."
The festival is named in honor of anthropologist Margaret Mead, who worked in the American Museum of Natural History's anthropology department from 1926 until her death in 1978. Mead was a pioneer in the field of cultural anthropology, and one of the first anthropologists to recognize the significance of using film in fieldwork. The festival maintains a commitment to presenting works on cross-cultural issues, and has been devoted to realizing Mead's goal of informing audiences about similarities and differences in cultural practices.
"The Mead Festival is the premier showcase for international documentaries in the United States, and it really does encompass a broad spectrum of work that ranges from indigenous community media to experimental works as well," Kirk said. "These works are usually seen as outstanding, diverse and challenging subjects and it's really important to have access to this range of issues and perspectives in our community."
Several university departments are coming together to sponsor the film series in Bloomington and present it free to the university and community. In addition, two IU Bloomington faculty members will give informal presentations after two film viewings.
John McDowell, professor of folklore, will engage attendees in the themes of the film Al Otro Lado after the showing. Judah Cohen, professor of folklore, will address themes in the film Awake Zion, after the audience has viewed it.
This photo was taken from the film "Ryan," by Chris Landreth, which will be shown at the Mead Film Festival in Bloomington.
Sponsoring organizations include the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, the Center for the Study of Global Change, the Department of Anthropology, the Department of Communication and Culture, the Department of Gender Studies, the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, the Inner Asian and Uralic National Resource Center, the International Studies Program, the La Casa Cultural Center, the Latino Studies Program, the Robert A. and Sandra S. Borns Jewish Studies Program, and the Russian & East European Institute.
All films will be shown at the Glenn Black Laboratory of Archaeology auditorium, on the corner of 9th Street and Fess Avenue, in Bloomington. For more information, please contact the Mathers Museum of World Cultures at mathers@indiana.edu, or phone 812-855-6873.

It was a good day of catching
By Anna Frost • March 24, 2016 9:21 am
The top three winners in Homer's 23rd Annual Winter King Salmon Tournament show off their fish to the crowd. From left are Colt Belmonte who placed third with his 24.8-pound king, winning $16,588; Kelly Grose, who placed second and won $21,112 with his 25.25-pound king; and Eric Holland, who took first place with his 26.45-pound king. Holland's prize of $31,668 was more than the 2015 tournament's first place prize. All the anglers are Homer residents.-Photo by Anna Frost, Homer News
The 2016 Winter King Salmon Tournament champion, Eric Holland, only told the crowd during the Saturday evening awards ceremony that he caught the winning fish "in the ocean."
Following in the tradition of coy and secretive champion anglers, no one will know exactly where Holland pulled in the 26.45-pound king salmon that won him $31,688. In the prize line afterward, he elaborated only slightly more on the details. At the time of the catch, Holland only had some small fish to show for the day and was still trying for something larger. Around 3 p.m., he reeled in his champion out by the bluff, he said.
Holland has placed in the top 20 of the tournament multiple times in previous years, but this year was the first time he fished without his friend of 20 years, Phil Christensen, who recently passed away. Christensen placed first with a fish on Holland's boat in 2002, and this year Holland repeated his friend's victory.
"We had a picture of him on the boat," Holland said. "It's kind of sad but kind of neat that he was there with us, and we did it."
Despite the fish's size, Holland was not confident at the time he had the champion on his rod.
"We knew it was money, but we didn't think it would be first place at all," said Holland's wife, Lynn.
Holland plans to pay off some bills with the winnings, he said.
"Sounds exciting, huh? It's money we didn't count on, so it's kind of a bonus," Holland said.
The award ceremony was full of cheering and laughter. When Homer resident Kelly Grose came up to the stand to accept his second place award, he raised his fish over his head so enthusiastically that it flew out of his hands and fell down his back. As Grose scrambled to get a hold of the slippery salmon, his son held their second place trophy high over his head.
Grose was equally guarded about the location of his fish, only revealing that he caught it "out in the water" before 11 a.m.
For his first year competing in the tournament, Grose seems to have caught some beginner's luck. His winnings bring him within a few thousand dollars of his goal to save up for a new house for his family.
"We're trying to find a house. The place we're living now is in bad shape; it isn't worth fixing anymore. We're trying to find another place and it's been kind of rough," Grose said.
"I had him in the boat, it was 10:56 (a.m.) by the time I checked my phone," Grose said. "I didn't think it was a big money fish, but I knew it was a good one so I knew I wasn't going to let it go."
Holland and Grose were not the only Homer residents to haul in cash at the tournament. Overall, Homer was the most represented city of residence of the top 20 prize winners with eight anglers taking home cash or merchandise. All top four anglers in the competition hail from Homer: Holland, Grose, third-place winner Colt Belmonte and fourth-place winner Iosif Martishev Jr. After the top places, Homer also popped up as numbers eight, 14, 15 and 20. Anchor Point residents Jeff Loop, Evelyn Davis and Kyle Akee took fifth, ninth and 19th, respectively. Other winners came from Kenai, Soldotna, Kasilof, Anchorage and Wasilla.
Belmonte may have caught the third place fish, but the side bets placed on the boat Knuckle-Up made his boat the top winner of cash prizes. The boat swept five side bet categories — $100, $125, $150, $200 and $250 — with a single fish weighing 24.8 pounds, according to the Homer Chamber of Commerce list of side bet winners. The chamber sponsors the tournament.
The Knuckle-Up also had eighth place and largest white winter king winner Mike Benoit aboard. Between Benoit, Belmonte and the side bets, Knuckle-Up's total winnings equal $52,037.
The winnings will be split between Benoit, Belmonte and Jacinto Montez, who also fished aboard the Knuckle-Up, Belmonte said. In total, each person's winnings come out to about $17,345. Belmonte's share will go into a project he already has underway.
"I'm building a house right now, so that money's spent," Belmonte said. "We're downsizing and we have a small 1,000-square-foot house for my wife and I."
After nine years of fishing in the tournament, Benoit is finally breaking even on costs, he said. His fish, a 19.9-pound white king salmon, was caught "in the water" at about 10 a.m. Benoit is putting his share of the winnings into his business Homer's Best Charters, which is starting an eco-friendly salmon charter. The money will help ease the pain of starting-up, Benoit said.
"I'm giving up on doing halibut charters and starting my own gig. It's going to be trolling for salmon on sailboats — quiet, peaceful, it will be a lot of fun," Benoit said. "I'm going to hopefully have it up and running by the shorebird festival and then obviously full-time thereafter. I hope."
As for Montez, he plans on using his winnings on a winter getaway with his wife to visit family in Texas and Florida.
"That's going to be good enough, I think, to have a little vacation sometime in the winter," Montez said.
Although the tournament day started with sunshine, it ended with snowflakes drifting down on the crowd as the last few awards were announced. The wind that the anglers reported feeling out on the water paid a visit to the shore, cooling down the temperature, but not dampening the excitement of the winners and those supporting them. Overall, the day's conditions were reported to be similar to last year's calm waters, allowing anglers to stay out on the water through the afternoon.
Overall, the tournament awarded more than $162,860 in cash prizes and bets, plus merchandise, for more than 400 pounds of prize-worthy fish, according to data provided by the chamber of Commerce.
With 1491 anglers on 448 boats, the tournament topped last year's participation numbers and broke the records for most boats and anglers. This year's first place prize also exceeded last year's amount, awarding $3,549 more to this year's champion. Despite the number of participants, anglers caught 448 fish: 142 less than in 2015.
This year's top fish were also smaller than in 2015, where the first place king salmon weighed in at 30.4 pounds and the second place fish was 28.6 pounds. The warmer weather that is partially responsible for bringing more anglers down to Homer is a factor in this change, Belmonte said.
"In year's past, the fish have been bigger," Belmonte said. "I think the warmer water's pushing these fish up and it's a lot of younger juvenile fish that would normally be somewhere else."

Something about the life of everybody. Every something is an echo of nothing. And here you are. Nothing has nothing to do with you. The more you leave, the more you are.
The stir caused by this Bonnie-Clyde commotion.
Like notes without a central message babbling away, the performance unfolds on the screen and beyond. Made-up, stolen and readymade lyrics, a concert and film images unveiling how communication and misunderstanding, humour and fiction are inseparable from the value of reality.
Kam pa kam is a poetical attempt at outlining the state of no ownership. Dragons and planes will be caressing you romantically in endless streams from Berlin airports of Tempelhof and Tegel, while The Beatles are already on their way to the zebra crossing at Abbey Road: "Beat me, caressing I can do myself."
Don't think more than necessary.
"In the evening, when we fall asleep, we actually all turn into actors, going to perform our role, always on a different stage. And by day? By day, we practice the role while awake. Sometimes we don't learn the role as we should, and therefore don't dare perform on stages, so we hide behind other actors who have learned their words and their steps for the route better. However, you, it is you who comes to the venue not to act, but to see us perform. Let your gaze descend on me when I am trained well, because nobody can be either smart or beautiful throughout the seven days of the week."
Warning: Effects of strobe light are used intensely throughout the implementation of the project, which is why we strongly advise persons with photosensitive epilepsy against seeing the performance.
Project co-financed by Slovenian Ministry of Culture and City of Ljubljana.
Nekaj o življenju vsakogar. Vsak nekaj je odmev niča. In ti si tu. Nič nima nič opraviti s teboj. Bolj ko odideš, več te je.
vroči zrak okrog te bonnieclyde zadeve.
Kot brbotanje opomb brez glavnega sporočila se ta predstava razgrinja na zaslonu in onstran njega. Izmišljena, ukradena in readymade besedila, koncert in filmske podobe, razkrivajo neločljivost komuniciranja in nesporazuma, humorja in fikcije z vrednostjo realnosti.
Kam pa kam je poetični poskus izrisovanja stanja brezlastništva. Z berlinskih letališč Tempelhof in Tegel vas bodo romantično in rafalno božali zmaji in avioni, medtem ko so The Beatles že na poti do zebre na Abbey Road: "Tep me, božam se loh sama."
Ne mislite več kot je nujno.
"Ko zvečer zaspimo se pravzaprav vsi spremenimo v igralce in odhajamo zmeraj na drug oder odigrat svojo vlogo. Pa podnevi? Podnevi se v budnosti učimo te vloge. Včasih se je ne naučimo kakor bi bilo treba in potem si ne upamo nastopiti na odrih, zato se skrivamo za drugimi igralci, ki znajo bolje svoje besedilo in korake za to pot.
Ampak ti, ti si tisti, ki prihaja v dvorano gledat naš nastop, ne pa igrat. Naj tvoje oko pade name, ko bom dobro izurjena, saj ni nihče vseh sedem dni v tednu ne pameten ne lep."
Opozorilo: V izvedbi projekta se intenzivno uporabljajo efekti trepetajoče svetlobe, zato odsvetujemo ogled osebam s fotosenzitivno epilepsijo.
Projekt sofinancirata Ministrstvo za kulturo RS in Mestna občina Ljubljana.
