Azerbaijan Journalist Sentenced to 7.5 Years after Exposing Presidential Corruption
By Kristina Ozimec -
A court in Azerbaijan sentenced Khadija Ismayilova, an investigative reporter with Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, to seven and a half years in prison today, on charges of misappropriation and embezzlement, illegal business dealings, tax evasion and abuse of power.
International media and human rights organizations condemned Ismayilova's trial and sentence, which followed investigative reporting she had done on corruption within the presidency and the first family of Azerbaijan. It also followed an earlier blackmail attempt that Ismayilova had faced down in 2012.
Dunja Mijatović, the representative on Freedom of the Media at the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe, and Nils Muižnieks, commissioner for human rights at the Council of Europe, also criticized the sentencing of Ismayilova.
"The charges brought against Ismayilova and the trial are unjust. They constitute yet another clear signal that the authorities are continuing to silence critical voices in Azerbaijan," said Mijatović, who called on the government of President Ilham Aliyev "to stop targeting journalists."
"Khadija Ismayilova pays for her courageous work as investigative journalist in a country where critical voices are muzzled one after the other," Muižnieks added. "This sentence strikes yet another blow to respect for human rights and adherence to democracy and the rule of law in Azerbaijan."
Human Rights Watch described the prosecution as politically motivated and said the flawed trial followed a campaign to discredit the muckraking journalist.
Isamayilova was acquitted on an additional charge of inciting a former boyfriend to commit suicide.
"The outrageous verdict against Khadija Ismayilova shows the Azerbaijani authorities' willingness to subvert the law to exact revenge against critics," said Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch. "Her conviction and sentence should be immediately set aside."
According to HRW, the European Union and its member states should mount a strong, unified challenge to the government over the state of human rights in Azerbaijan. "Such a response should include freezing negotiations on a new Strategic Partnership Agreement with Baku and taking action in other multilateral bodies, including the UN Human Rights Council, to censure Azerbaijan over its atrocious human rights record," the organization said in a statement .
Before she was arrested, Khadija Ismayilova was working as an investigative journalist for Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and Radio Free Europe's Azerbaijani service. She wrote investigative stories about corruption and misuse of power by the government in Azerbaijan, and investigated businesses and off shore companies connected to Aliyev and his close family and friends.
Khadija's coleagues at the OCCRP started the Khadija Project, which, according to Drew Sullivan, the executive editor and co-founder of OCCRP, will finish the investigative reporting she started.
"Khadija asked us to finish her work. As a friend and colleague, we felt a moral obligation to do so," Sullivan said. "But more so, we wanted to show that if you attack the messenger for their message, we will simply send out a lot more messengers."
"This one family has run this country almost its whole modern life. They steal outrageous amounts and the vast oil wealth is squandered while their people stay poor and ignorant. Meanwhile, his daughters carry $160,000 purses and they send yachts for three days across the Mediterranean costing a state company $250,000 so young Heydar can have lunch on the boat.
"If I put this in a movie, people would say I am exaggerating their callous disregard for the people. But this is real life," Sullivan added.
"Money is power, and they steal it and control it to keep others in Azerbaijan from building a political base," Sullivan told 100reporters. "But they must hide their money in the West because that is their taste, and we will always find it and expose it."
In a closing statement before the court Monday, Ismayilova said that Azerbaijanis were familiar with the ability of police and prosecutors to invent crimes. The case against her was built on intimidating her accusers and alleged witnesses, one of whom was offered a bribe, she said. Some witnesses, she added, were pressured to sign statements without having read them.
"To accuse the person who investigated the presidential family's stolen money stored in offshore accounts, their abuse of state deals and contracts with offshore companies and groups, of evading taxes was very funny," Ismayilova said. "My students, my colleagues and I were writing about offshore realities, cases of tax evasion, companies on islands in their own names and companies in Azerbaijan under the names of others evading taxes."
This is not the first time that Azerbaijani authorities have gone after Ismayilova. In 2012, the government secretly filmed the reporter having sex with her boyfriend, and threatened to release the video publicly. Ismayilova refused to back down. She instead went public with the blackmail threat. She further reported on the Ministry of National Security's bugging of her apartment by interviewing the phone technicians involved.
The sex footage promptly appeared on the internet.
Following the incident, Ismayilova won many international media and press freedom awards, including the Courage of Journalism Award, given by the International Women's Media Foundation, the Global Shining Light Award and the PEN/Barbara Goldsmith Freedom to Write Award, bestowed by the PEN American Center.
Christophe Deloire, secretary general of Reporters Without Borders, condemned the journalist's prosecution as " an absurd and outrageous political trial, a judicial sham that elevates this case into a symbol of the wave of persecution of independent media that began a year ago.".
Ismayilova was arrested last December and accused of provoking her former boyfriend and colleague Tural Mustafayev to commit suicide. According to Ismayilova, the whole charge "is nothing more than slander."
This April, Mustafayev reportedly withdrew his complaint in the case against Khadija.
In February, new charges were raised against Ismayilova for evading taxes, embezzlement, misappropriation and abuse of power, and the prosecution asked for a nine-year sentence for the Azerbaijani journalist.
Azerbaijan is ranked 162 out of 180 countries in the Reporters without Borders World Press Freedom Index for 2015. "The regime is in the process of silencing the few remaining independent voices that it has not already managed to suppress," the report stated. "Outspoken journalists and bloggers are being given the same choice as human rights defenders – shut up, flee abroad or be jailed on trumped-up charges."

Fitah, 32, Somalia
Fitah has been a refugee for ten years but has only been in Brazil for a few months. After leaving his home country in 2007 due to the civil war, he went to South Africa, where he stayed until March 2017. Paying $4,000 USD to smugglers in Johannesburg, he managed to enter Brazil posing as a South African refugee. He wanted to travel on to the United States, but the "travel package" offered by his smugglers only gave him two options, Turkey or Brazil. He chose the latter.
Afonso, 28, Congo
Upstairs in one of the big bedrooms of the Scalabrinian Mission Afonso, a 28-year-old migrant from Congo, explained how he came from Kinshasa in 2015 by boat, escaping from the violent conflicts raging in his own country. He hired the service of smugglers and came on a cargo ship with a number of others. He paid for part of the trip by working on the ship. He was left in the coast of Santos, a city 55km away from Sao Paulo. He is now searching for a job.
"K.", 39, Sierra Leone
At Caritas, a non-profit providing support to refugees and migrants, we met "K" (who asked not to reveal his full name), who had left Sierra Leone three months ago. His grandfather was a chief priest of a secret society for whom it is a tradition to initiate the oldest son of the family when the former elder dies. A Christian and a graduate in Information Technology, "K" refused to take part in the ritual and says he was then targeted. He fled to stay with family in the interior of the country, but was kidnapped and held captive in the forest. One night he managed to escape to the city and met a woman from a Christian organization which provided airplane tickets so he could leave immediately for Brazil.
Jorge, 25, Guinea-Bissau
Jorge is a trained engineer who came to Brazil two years ago, who is now selling counterfeit and smuggled clothes in a local market. His Brazilian girlfriend is now pregnant and he is waiting for a work permit in order to get a job as mason. He said that when Federal Police went to his home address to confirm he was living there - an essential step in the process of issuing a work visa to a migrant - his house mates thought they wanted to arrest him and denied he lived there. It delayed his chance of getting a permit that would allow him a legal and better-remunerated job. The lack of trust in Brazilian law enforcement is a huge issue among refugees and migrants, many say that they rarely provide help or support, but instead only make their lives more difficult.
Abu, 37, Senegal
In República Square in the downtown Centro neighbourhood, African migrants sell clothes - some of them counterfeit designer wear,, some not - and handicrafts. Abu, 37, from Thiès in western Senegal, came to Brazil in 2010 with the hope that World Cup would make Brazil a prosperous country and offer him a new life. He says migrants should be respected for having the courage to leave everything behind and restart from nothing. Discrimination and lack of jobs are an issue for Abu, so he says his plan now is to save money and go to Europe as soon as possible. When he first arrived, he had money to stay in a hotel for seven days. After that, he met people who got him a job as a street vendor for contraband and traditional Senegalese clothes sewn in Brazil with African fabrics. Every time the police come and seize the goods he sells, it can take up to five months to recover the money lost.
Ibrahim, 41, Senegal
Members of the Senegalese community gather in República Square every week for a party, mounting up their own sound system, bringing drums and singing. On the night we visit around 50 people were dancing and chanting traditional Senegalese songs. Later they take a seat and discuss issues important to the community. Ibrahim, one of the group, has a talent for sewing fake Nike and Adidas logos to clothing in an improvised atelier nearby. Although he is a professional tailor and prefers to dedicate his time to his own original work, he says financial pressures meant he was forced to join the market of counterfeit designer-label clothing.
Guaianazes street, downtown Sao Paulo
On Rua Guaianazes there is a run-down mosque on the second floor of an old and degraded building, which is frequented by many African migrants. Outside, the smell of marijuana and cheap crack is inebriating. Crowds gather on the streets in front of the packed bars, while different people ask us if we want cheap marihuana. We enter one bar that has literally no chairs or tables: there is a poster of Cameroon's most famous footballer Samuel Eto'o on the wall, and a big snooker table in the centre while all around customers gamble, argue and smoke. The bar tender tells us it is a Nigerian bar, but that it is frequented by Africans of all nationalities. Among the offers of cheap marijuana, crack and cocaine, laughs, music and loud chat, you can barely hear to the imam's call. Rua Guaianazes is considered to be the heart of Cracolandia, a territory controlled by organized crime for more than a decade and now reportedly home to some African-led drug trafficking gangs.
Santa Efigenia neighbourhood
Santa Efigenia is an area of around ten street blocks in the heart of the Centro area where locals says you "won't find anything original product or any product that entered the country legally". There are dozens of galleries with local merchants, migrants and hawkers selling their wares, and crowds shouting and grabbing to sell counterfeit and contraband electronics late in the night. When we visited, a homeless old man was setting a campfire out of trash to heat himself on the corner, the people passing by aggressively yelling at him due to the black smoke his improvised urban survival mechanism was generating.
"H", 42, Angola
"H" is an Angolan woman now living in a house rented from the Baptist church. The area outside the house is a "boca de fumo" - an open drug dealing spot managed by armed guards. "H's" house is annexed to the church building itself, and is very rustic and simple. She arrived a year ago with two of her children, and also pregnant. She says that after the family of the Angolan president took over the market of smuggled goods in her country, her small import business started to crumble. Her husband and two more daughters are still there. She is currently unemployed, but happy that her young son is studying, although often he comes home complaining about racism at school. "H" does not want him to play with the neighbourhood children, she is afraid he will be drawn to narco-trafficking if he gets in with the wrong crowd. In the long run, she wants to go back to Angola, but only under "a different political situation."
Lalingé restaurant, Sao Paulo
Arami, the owner of the bustling restaurant Lalingé – which means "The Princess" in her language – has been in Brazil for seven years. She opened the restaurant a year ago so that the African community in the Centro neighbourhood has a place to gather and eat food from their continent. It's the kind of place people arrive at any time of the night or day, order their food and chat.
Scalabrinian Mission, Canindé neighbourhood
The Scalabrinian Mission in the neighborhood of Canindé provides philanthropic aid to migrants. Soror Eva Souza, the director, says they have helped people from Africa (Angola, Congo, Guinea, Togo, Nigeria, South Africa, Mali, British Guyana, Somalia, Mauritania, Sierra Leone, Cameroon and Uganda), North Africa and the Middle East (Syria, Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt), Asia (Cambodia, South Korea, the Philippines, Bangladesh), Europe (The Netherlands, Russia, France) and Latin America and the Caribbean (Colombia, Venezuela, Bolivia, Haiti, Cuba). The Mission provides housing, food, clothing, medication and facilities for migrants. They only receive a small amount of financial support from local government, but work to help migrants find a job so they can live independently. Souza says many of those who arrive at the house are ill: some are seriously injured, others sick from the journey or the conditions they were living in before arriving in Sao Paulo. Since 2015, she says she has seen human trafficking and slavery victims, drug mules, political refugees, and people who have lost their families en route. When we visit 40-year-old Mohamed Ali, from Morocco, was trying to find a job with the support of the Mission.
Clement Kamano, 24, Guinea-Conakry
Kamano was studying Social Sciences at Université Général Lansana Conté when he took part in the protests of September 28th, 2009, which ended up in a massacre with more than 150 people killed. Afterwards, he was repeatedly harassed because of his involvement in social movements. Fearing he might be killed, his father bought him a ticket to Brazil. Now he is a political refugee, who is almost fluent in Portuguese, and who enjoys talking about the sociologist-philosophers Emile Durkheim and Max Weber, even Leibniz and Nietzsche. He is currently applying to join a federal university in Sao Paulo.
What's "cereza" in Arabic?
In a bright classroom in the centre of Quito, a group of students sit around a whiteboard. "Yo veo la televisión con mis amigos en la tarde," they repeat after the teacher, "I watch television with my friends in the afternoon." "Yo tomo el bus par ir al trabajo," "I take the bus to go to work."
Around the table are two Syrians who fled the war, one Cameroonian who says he wanted to escape the Anglo-French conflict in his homeland, two Afghans, one a former top-ranking police officer, an Egyptian and a Sri Lankan who wanted to go anywhere where he could make enough money to help his family. Migrants who arrive in Ecuador from Africa, Asia and the Middle East face a steep learning curve: it might be relatively easy to enter the country, thanks to Ecuador's liberal open-border policy, but finding work here and learning Spanish can be difficult. Today their teacher is translating between Arabic, Spanish and English. "Market"? asks one. "Souk" replies another member of the group, while a fellow student does a quick translation into Pashtu.
Experts say some of those who come through language centres like these are planning on continuing their journey north, others on staying in Ecuador.
A little piece of Nigeria, in Quito
As the night closes in, Grace, a 25-year-old law graduate from Cameroon, dashes between a barbeque out on the street and the kitchen in the small Nigerian restaurant where she is working the night shift, as a television showing an African football league plays in the background. She wears a dark top, and her hair pulled back, as she fans the tilapia grilling on the coals. When she was denied a Canadian visa, despite having a scholarship, she decided she still wanted to leave Cameroon, where she complains of a lack of jobs and opportunities for the country's English-speaking minority. With three friends, she bought a ticket heading west for Ecuador where she heard she could enter with her invitation to study at a language school. She soon converted to a missionary visa, and now works here and sings in the choir at a church up the hill, teaching Sunday school at the weekends. Like many of her customers, she also wants to travel north to the US or Canada, but only with the correct papers. "If you go without papers and through the jungle, you might be lost. Then my family is lost as well."
The Afghan police officer
Asadullah, a former police officer, spent 31 years training new recruits and fighting terrorist groups in his country. Among the documents he smuggled out with him is a photograph of him with Robert Gates, the former US Secretary of Defence, paperwork from a training programme at the National Defence University in Washington DC, and training certificate from the George C Marshall centre in Europe, signed by the German defence minister.
His career had been high-profile and illustrious, but while that brought recognition from the Americans and their allies, it also brought him the unwelcome attention of the Taliban and other extremist groups.
For three years before he fled, he says terrorists were calling him saying he needed to end his work with the police. "Come and work with us," they'd coax. When he refused, someone tried to throw acid on his child at school – that was when he decided to leave.
Today the family are renting a spacious flat in central Quito, with a big beige sofa and swept wood floors. A big TV is mounted on the wall behind him, and one of his children brings in sweet tea and fruits. His wife and six of his children are with him, awaiting a decision from the migration authorities on their asylum case. For the sake of his children – who all speak English – Asadullah wants to go to the US.
"I want to go to America, but it's a process: it will take a lot of time," he says. "We have been waiting to get an answer. I only came here because the bad people wanted to kill us. I'm just here so I'm safe." He considered going to Europe, but considered the route there more dangerous. "Many Afghan people wanted to go to Europe, to Turkey, but many people died in the sea."
Mughni Sief's paintings once made him a well-known artist in his native Syria: he taught fine art in a top university, and was invited to Lebanon to show his work. But since the war, and his decision to flee, his paintings have taken on a darker tone. One , "Even The Sea Had A Share Of Our Lives, It Was Tough" touches on the horrors so many Syrians have seen as they try to flee to safety.
"This painting is about Syrians crossing the sea to go to Europe from Turkey. I put this fish head and cut the head off to show the culture of ISIS. This here is the boat people," he explains in his spartan apartment in Ecuador's capital, Quito. "Syria was empty of people, and there are so many people dying in the sea."
From the windows of his bedroom-come-studio, you can see the mountains, washing hanging in the sunshine on a neighbours balcony, beige tiles. Behind him the bed sheets – which came with the house – are adorned with images of teddy bears and the phrase "happy day."
In the corner is a small, rolling suitcase in which he brought his wood carving tools, crayons, and charcoals from Syria: everything from his old life that he dared bring without alerting attention that he was leaving the country. In a small backpack he bought a Frederick Nietshce paperback, a birthday present from a friend, and a book he bought in Syria: "Learn Spanish in 5 days". He didn't bring any photos, in case his bag was searched.
Frustrated by restrictions he faced as a Syrian in Lebanon, he started to research other places where he might make a new start. He read that Ecuador was "one of the few countries that don't ask for a visa from Syrians. I had problems leaving Lebanon, and in El Dorado in Colombia but at Quito I came in no problem. The only question was: why are you coming to Ecuador, do you have money? I said nothing about asking for asylum so they just gave me a tourist visa."
Soon after he made his asylum application, and today, he paints while he waits for a decision. "Before the war I was focused just on humans, on women, but when the war started that changed, and I began focusing on the miserable life that we live in Syria," he says as he arranges three paintings on the bed. In one, he explains, is a woman who can' face something in her life, so prefers to stop speaking.
Although many of the migrants that make their way to Ecuador are able to travel more independently than those making the journey across the Mediterranean, examples abound of exploitation of some who arrive here. Mohammad, for example. He's a 24-year-old from Sri Lanka who first tried his luck in Malaysia, but was cheated by a travel fixer who took his money while promising him a work visa that never materialized. When he was arrested for working without the proper documents, a friend had to come and pay the police to get him out. Travelling west, to Ecuador, after religious violence broke out in his hometown, he says he paid someone he knows to help sort out his travel, unsure of how much he took as a cut. When he flew in, alongside a Sri Lankan family, the agent arranged for him to be picked up by an unknown woman who charged each of them again to take them to a hostel. He is now renting a room from a man he met at the mosque. Every day continues to be a struggle, he said.
"At home, I saw so many troubles each day. I decided to come here thinking maybe things will be good. But I did one week working in a restaurant, they treated me like a slave. For three months I was searching for work. They are good people here but I have no opportunities here. Seven months I have nothing, I'm wasting my time."

Fiona Leitch: Murder On The Menu
Today I'm delighted to be taking part in the blog tour for Murder On The Menu. My review is written with thanks to Rachel Gilbey at Rachel's Random Resources for inviting me on the tour and to the publisher for my copy of the book.
The first book in a NEW cosy mystery series!
Still spinning from the hustle and bustle of city life, Jodie 'Nosey' Parker is glad to be back in the Cornish village she calls home. Having quit the Met Police in search of something less dangerous, the change of pace means she can finally start her dream catering company and raise her daughter, Daisy, somewhere safer.
But there's nothing like having your first job back at home to be catering an ex-boyfriend's wedding to remind you of just how small your village is. And when the bride, Cheryl, vanishes Jodie is drawn into the investigation, realising that life in the countryside might not be as quaint as she remembers…
With a missing bride on their hands, there is murder and mayhem around every corner but surely saving the day will be a piece of cake for this not-so-amateur sleuth?
The first book in the Murder on the Menu cosy mystery series. Can be read as a standalone. A humorous cosy mystery with a British female sleuth in a small village. Includes one of Jodie's Tried and Tested Recipes! Written in British English. Mild profanity and peril.
I've loved all of Fiona Leitch's previous books so I was excited to get stuck in with a brand new character! Jodie "Nosey" Parker is every bit as brilliant as I hoped she would be. I loved her adventurous streak and her knack for finding trouble and her sense of humour is simply fabulous. I also enjoyed meeting her family and friends and I think Leitch really captures the good and bad things about living in a town where everyone knows each other.
Leitch makes writing look so effortless! The novel is easy to read and I was instantly engaged in Murder On The Menu and felt invested in both the plot and the characters. There were certain turns of phrase that made me laugh out loud – something which makes this novel stand out from the crowd!
At the centre of the plot is a very intriguing mystery and I really wanted to find out the truth behind the crimes. I was fascinated as everything unravelled and I couldn't wait to see how it ended!
I am really looking forward to seeing how this series continues.
Murder On The Menu is available from Amazon.

We've all been camping and enjoying time with the family, when all of a sudden an onslaught of buzzing assaults your ears. The mosquitoes have arrived and they're looking for blood. They're looking to keep you up all night long itching any bare skin and slapping at the air only to kill one or two of these pests. They might even get so bad that you have to retire and call it an early night. Not anymore, though. In just a few easy steps you can say goodbye to worthless tiki torches that do little more than provide a fun atmosphere and actually create a mosquito repellent candle that truly works, provides a warm glow to the atmosphere, and even puts off a pleasant scent, which is more than you can say the "other" candles do.
To make your own floating citronella candle you need a few herbs from your fridge, a mason jar, and a floating candle(s). Floating candles can be purchased at your local craft or candle store. They're typically anywhere from $1-$2.
Using your knife cut the lemon into medium thickness slices. Place the rosemary and mint into the mason jars, along with the sliced lemon. Fill with water and a few drops of the citronella oil. Add the floating candle and light. Within a few minutes the heat from the candle with draw out the scent of the herbs and oil and begin to repel those pesky mosquitoes, and you'll be able to enjoy socializing outside without worry.
Do you have any homemade remedies to keep mosquitoes away? Share with us on Facebook or Google+.


As well As managing some of the main aspects of your WordPress site (something we are going to be covering in more depth below), and supplying you with all you need to begin a new website, one of the main selling points of this revolutionary service is access to one of those participating ThemeForest themes as part of your subscription fee.
Having a Single point of contact for domain name registration, website hosting, subject provision, and also the managing of things like website updates and copies sounds very convenient, but is this service worth your cash? And does it deliver the performance your website requirements?
Envato Aim to simplify the process of launching a WordPress site with their new hosting service. Now, rather than registering a domain name with one business, purchasing a WordPress theme out of a different, and then signing up for an internet hosting service elsewhere, and of course linking all those bits together, with Envato Hosted, you can get all these components through one single account, with one recurring monthly payment.
Not only This, but the Envato Hosted staff will even take good care of website copies, core software upgrades and more to help ensure your website is running smoothly.
The Advantage of a one-stop shop for all your WordPress website needs does seem appealing. We are going to pay the pricing details in more depth later in this overview, however at $19.99 a month, it's clear that this is not affordable, entry-level hosting. So let's see what you get for your money.
The Envato Hosted theme installation and installation service is excellent for anybody who's new to WordPress or short on time. After a fresh installation of WordPress was completed, your theme of choice (from the available options) will be installed and activated in your new site.
If You already have a WordPress site, you will be very happy to know the Envato Hosted package comprises a migration of your website and its content to your hosting account. Additionally, it has optional domain registration and configuration, and connects your domain to your own server space to make sure your site is seen at your preferred URL.
ThemeForest Is the largest WordPress themes market, with more than 8,000 options. Among the biggest attractions of Envato Hosted is that you get one of these themes included within your hosting program.
Unfortunately, At the time of writing, only a small selection of WordPress themes were available as part of the Envato Hosted service. Hopefully, in the future, more theme authors will choose to opt in, but, for now, you may select from the best selling, multipurpose Avada, Enfold, Bridge, Jupiter, and The7 topics, among others.
As Part of the hosting security measures, the Envato Hosted system engineers are proactive in scanning websites for malware and other issues, and DDoS protection can also be in place to keep your website online. When an issue is discovered, the service team will begin work solving it, while also notifying you of the situation. This proactive strategy also applies to assisting with hacked sites.
Considering It is not unheard of for some internet hosts to simply take your site offline whenever they detect a potential security issue, it's good to see that the Envato Hosted staff will get to work as soon as a problem is encountered, while also keeping you in the loop as to what's happening.
Site Snapshots can also be taken every single, and backups are stored for 30 days (and stored offsite in Amazon S3 storage for added security ). Right now, if you'd like to restore a backup, you need to start a ticket to ask the support team to carry out this task. But, Envato Hosted expects to enable self-initiated copies and restores in the first quarter of 2017.
Therefore, If you're already using an email provider like google Apps or even Office 365, you can connect your domain name into the service. If not, signing up with one of these services is the best alternative for sending and receiving emails together with your site's domain name.
Although Live chat is being contemplated for the long run, there is no phone support service, with email being the only means to get in touch with the team. During the testing with this particular review, the Envato Hosted support team responded quickly to some tickets which were opened.
After You have signed up using Envato Hosted, you will have the ability to log into your account dashboard. From the dashboard area, you can see your busy hosting programs, the details of your WordPress website, along with other important details.
We'll Cover the utilization limitations in the pricing department. But, it's possible to easily view how much of your visitor, disc quota, and bandwidth allocation you have consumed from the Envato Hosted dashboard.
Having Your selection from a choice of high quality WordPress topics, and all of the other fantastic features covered over, is great. But maybe the most important reason to select one web host over another is how quickly they can serve your site to your visitors.
This Guide explains why site speed is so essential. Suffice to say, if you want to have more visitors, a better consumer experience, and improved goal conversion rates, then you need to be doing all you can to improve the rate of your WordPress website. With that in mind, let us look at the loading times we experienced while testing Envato Hosted with this review.
As This is a hands on Envato Hosted review, for testing purposes, we did sign up and launch a new WordPress site. Even though the time from starting the signup process to being able to log to the new WordPress site wasn't instant, it only took about five seconds. But a significant part of the time was spent looking at a screen wondering what exactly was happening.
There Were a few hiccups on the way, like the links into the website and control panel which were delivered over not yet being active. This was probably due to domain name system (DNS) configurations taking a while to spread, and the new URL being in the process of going live. However, as there's no mention of those delays and potential issues during the installation procedure, it somewhat taints the suitability of Envato Hosted for inexperienced WordPress users.
Overall, Though, getting started with Envato Hosted and launch a new WordPress site is comparatively simple. You truly can register a domain, select a theme, and select which demo to get installed, all through one signup procedure. However, while everything did work, the registration process felt somewhat rough around the edges compared with this of Envato Hosted's competitions.
For the Sake of comparison, another evaluation WordPress site, also using Avada and the exact same Agency demo, took just more than a second longer to load on a low-cost, entry-level shared hosting account.
Pingdom is a popular monitoring service, and Among the greatest methods to measure the operation of a website. After signing up using Envato Hosted, the Avada theme was installed along with the Agency demo site content erased.
As That the Avada Agency demo homepage involves a multimedia slider with video content and other big documents, it had been decided a standard page in the demo, consisting of images and text, would yield more relevant results. When the test WordPress site was put up, Pingdom recorded the loading times of this internal blog post at 30-minute intervals.
After Monitoring site rate with Pingdom, the average load time within the past seven days for our WordPress site, hosted by Envato with the Avada theme and its Agency demo, was 2.96 seconds, with a YSlowperformance grade of B and 85/100. The loading times were recorded at fixed intervals throughout the testing period.
Website Uptime was also monitored with Pingdom. Throughout the testing, six cases of downtime were discovered, together with the site inaccessible for 15 minutes in total. This resulted in an uptime of 99.85percent according to Pingdom. Although the site returned to its available state with no intervention, the longest amount of downtime — as can be seen in the picture below — has been a somewhat worrying nine minutes.
This Cost also includes any qualifying WordPress motif out of ThemeForest, including best-selling options such as Avada, X Theme, and Enfold. Also included in the ceremony is the installation of your preferred theme and its presentation, as well as ongoing support for your site. Free migration of an existing WordPress site to your hosting account is also included.
As Mentioned, since the Envato Hosted service is fully managed, the team will treat WordPress core updates, supply base-level safety, track your website for errors, and rear up the site daily.
When it Comes to usage, your $19.99 per month or $190 per year includes 100,000 monthly payments, 5GB of disk space, and 100GB of monthly bandwidth. These quotas are soft limits, and nothing automatic will happen if you go over them. Instead, if excess usage is detected, expect to be contacted by the support team to talk about a solution which works for both parties. There are no overage charges in place at the moment.
However, Neither of those competitor options includes a premium ThemeForest WordPress theme and setup. The allure of this Envato Hosted service is having everything in one location, under one account, including your domain name, hosting service, WordPress theme, and support team.
Elements is a service from Envato That aims to offer creators and manufacturers with an ever-expanding library of digital resources for their own projects. If you'd like access to a large and growing collection of videos, sound files, photographs, graphics, illustrations, fonts, HTML templates, and WordPress themes and plugins, as well as other content then Envato Elements might be exactly what you're looking for.
Moreover, Envato Elements readers now get access to 1,200 video classes and eBooks from EnvatoTuts+. As a result of this, you not only get access to almost 1 million digital assets but also the educational content that will assist you work together effectively.
Although Avada is one of the most popular WordPress topics about, its abundance of features and performance may be overkill for some jobs. If your requirements are more modest and you'd like to know how Envato Hosted performs with a more nominal WordPress theme, we also tested a site using the free Twenty Seventeen motif from the WordPress.org team.
Contrary to Avada, the free Twenty Seventeen motif does not include or rely on any plugins. Therefore, this no frills WordPress theme gave Envato Hosted a fantastic chance to demonstrate how quickly it could deliver a web site. With a mean loading time of 335 milliseconds, along with also a grade operation more than seven days of analyzing, Envato Hosted certainly has the capacity to quickly serve a WordPress site to your audience.
Although An uptime of 99.85% was listed by Pingdom during our first round of testing, there wasn't any downtime listed in our next seven-day period of testing.
Your Requirements and the last configuration of your website will probably sit somewhere in between one of the full-featured Avada demos and the minimum Twenty Seventeen theme. Your results will surely vary from ours, but ours should give you a rough idea of what to expect from Envato Hosted. Furthermore, using a seven-day free trial, then you should have enough time to perform speed testing of your own site prior to making a last choice on Envato Hosted.
It's Also worth pointing out that though Envato Hosted does not prohibit the use of any particular plugins (like any other handled WordPress hosts), they do suggest avoiding caching plugins, as Envato already employs server caching to all sites in their platform. However, while Envato Hosted does not yet preserve their own content delivery network (CDN), you're free to take advantage of a third-party CDN of your choice — another popular approach to accelerate a WordPress site.
Testing The rate of a web site and its web host is not as straightforward as it may seem. Running a manual test with a respectable service like Pingdom or even GTmetrix can produce wildly varying outcomes from one moment to another. To counteract this, for our evaluations, the superior Pingdom service was used to mechanically record the speed of the test site at 30-minute spans around the clock for seven days.
There Are so many factors which could affect the load times of your website, such as your choice of motif, which plugins you are using, what type of content you are publishing, just how many visitors are attempting to access your site at one time, and where these visitors are situated. However, these test results must give you some notion of what to expect from Envato Hosted.
Envato Elements is A subscription service that offers you access to over 900,000 downloadable digital assets for your own projects. To keep things easy, Envato Elements offers two pricing strategies — monthly and annual — with both encouraging unlimited downloads. Thanks to some recent change to their pricing model, both options (instead of only the annual plan) now include access to the 900+ WordPress themes and plugins available from Envato Elements.

This approach from Envato Elements is great since it provides you the capability to experiment with different files prior to making a final decision on which to use for your project.
As you can see, Anyone creating visual content, and audio content, is part of their Envato Elements target audience.

Another good reason To look at joining Envato Element is that you are able to cancel your subscription at any time and still keep the rights to use any items which you downloaded and enrolled during your time as a subscriber. However, we'll be covering the permit details in more detail later on in this Envato Elements review.
WordPress users Will observe that there are currently WordPress themes and plugins available as part of Envato Elements. There isn't the choice to match ThemeForest, the biggest WordPress theme market, or CodeCanyon, the plugin marketplace, both also owned by Envato, but new items are being added on a regular basis. Royalty-free stock photos have also been added to Envato Elements with over 600,000 to choose from.

However, despite there being numerous things available, it is quite simple to locate what you're looking for. To help you narrow down your search for the ideal asset, lots of the top-level groups are divided up farther into sub-categories.

Before Downloading the item, you'll have to either register it for use on a specific job or download it for trial use.

Possessing a JPG or PNG version of the advantage means you can instantly use it without having access to a specific software program.
If you don't Currently have access to the right tools, just download a document, upload it in your WordPress site and crop or scale it there before publishing it on your website. Obviously, when you want full editing capabilities then using the right software application is recommended. However, it is good to be aware there are other options.
While you're logged Into your Envato Elements accounts, you can see the items that you've downloaded from your dashboard. This makes it effortless to quickly download something to register it using a different job or add a permit to a trial item to enable it for use on a live job.

Even though you ought to contact the support team first to discover if they'll be able to migrate your particular WordPress website configuration.
The Envato Hosted monthly fees of $19.99 are reasonable in the restricted WordPress hosting area. However, you can, of course, host your website for a lot less — and in case you're willing to perform more of the setup and ongoing maintenance work yourself, then there are a number of good alternatives which are also worth considering.
Even though The Envato Hosted service is a comparative newcomer to the web hosting space, the company has many years' experience working with and supporting WordPress users — and that they are using the Amazon Web Service infrastructure must provide you a bit of reassurance, also.
If You've been putting off starting a new WordPress website due to all of the different components you will need to know, such as domain names, themes, installing WordPress and looking after your site, then Envato Hosted could well be a wise option.


Remember Fleetwood Mac before the packed stadia and the lighter-waving fans? Bass player Bob Brunning does he was in the line-up when they played their first gig.
Bob, 57, from Colliers Wood, says hes been dining out for years on the fact he was with the Mac, albeit for three months, way back in 1967.
But there is much more to the ex-teacher than his brief moment in the spotlight he is a childrens author, has his own group the De Luxe Blues Band and has just started his second blues club.
Bob casts his mind back to the 7th Windsor Jazz and Blues Festival, now the Reading Festival, when he was part of the original Peter Green led line-up.
I knew I was not going to be a permanent member because Peter Green wanted John McVie in the band but he got cold feet because he was earning a good living with John Mayalls band. I was more than delighted to get into it, he said.
John McVie joined and I got what was a promotion at the time to blues band Savoy Brown. Fleetwood Mac went on to become 39 times more popular, but at the time it looked like Savoy Brown could be massive.
Bob started his musical life supporting a certain Tony Blackburn in Bournemouth before Blackburn became a celebrity DJ.
The grandfather gave up the life of a full-time bluesman to teach, but has been playing in various line-ups and has just recorded his 43rd album.
I never strayed from the music business. Ive always played with bands all the way through my teaching career. Ive played with Charlie Watts and supported the legendary Chuck Berry in Amsterdam, said Bob.
Chuck has a reputation of treating backing musicians badly and not wanting them to be paid but we had a great time. We would have paid to play with him.
Creating an alternative music scene in his neighbourhood, Colliers Wood, is also an ongoing labour of love for Bob, who in November started the new BBs Acoustic Blues Club, which runs every Thursday night in the William Morris pub.
My other blues club in the Colourhouse Theatre has been going for four years every Sunday. I wanted to provide a venue for this sort of music because there is such a dearth of that locally, says Bob.
Bob has remained friends with guitar legend Green, who was seriously ill with schizophrenia but is now back doing what he likes best wielding his axe.
Hes doing fine now. Really everyone was very unhappy that he had this mystery illness. Ive asked him down to the club several times but so far hes yet to come, he adds.
Bob is also preaching the rock gospel, as part of the National Curriculum, to a whole new generation of young music fans who would probably only normally listen to boy bands and pop music. Having written one set of books about music which sold 120,000 copies, he is now preparing another set of six, with subjects including punk, blues and country.
After more than 30 years in the business, music is still very much at the centre of Bobs world.

Champions League: I want 'revenge' against Liverpool – Napoli's Llorente
Widegram staff September 17, 2019	Sports 1 Comment 21 Views
Ibrahimovic statue vandalised again
Manchester City owners in record valuation after US investment
Fernando Llorente warned he was looking for revenge on Liverpool in Napoli's Champions League opener on Tuesday, after being beaten by the Reds in last season's final with former club Tottenham.
The Spanish striker, 34, signed a two-year deal with Carlo Ancelotti's side in the summer after being released by Tottenham and is looking for some payback for Spurs' defeat in Madrid.
"It was very painful to lose the final, there is a desire for revenge, yes, but it is especially the opportunity to show that we can be at the level of a team as strong as Liverpool," Llorente told reporters in Naples.
Liverpool have reached the last two Champions League finals, beating Tottenham in the Spanish capital in June after losing to Real Madrid 12 months earlier.
But Jurgen Klopp's side lost their opener last season 1-0 in Napoli thanks to a late Lorenzo Insigne winner, and Ancelotti said his side have learned from their mistakes last season, when they failed to advance from a tough group that also included Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain.
"The goal is to pass the group stage, we start against the European champions who are on full points in the Premier League, they are favourites and will be a difficult test, but very exciting.
"Liverpool have grown … but Napoli have also grown and have more quality."
Three-time Champions League-winning coach Ancelotti admitted that Liverpool was linked to some of his "biggest disappointments", like the 1984 European Cup final lost as a player with Roma or the famous 2005 final in Istanbul as coach of AC Milan.
However, he also said that Liverpool were there for "some of my greatest joys, like the 2007 final (also won as Milan coach)".
"Playing at Anfield is always a unique experience, and I hope that it will the same for us at the San Paolo," the 60-year-old added.
"Last season they lost their three away matches but I think this time they will be more solid and careful away from home."

«Великий Могол» (, Mughal-e-Azam, , ) — индийская мелодрама 1960 года режиссёра К. Азифа. По результатам проката ему был присвоен статус «Блокбастер на все времена». Удерживал статус самого кассового фильма Индии в течение пятнадцати лет вплоть до выхода киноленты «Месть и закон» в 1975 году. Лучший фильм 1960 года, по мнению Filmfare Awards.

Сюжет
У императора Акбара и королевы Джодхи родился долгожданный сын Салим. С годами принц стал смелым воином. Салим влюбляется в танцовщицу Анаркали и хочет жениться на ней. Однако его отец против этого брака и бросает Анаркали в темницу, но она, несмотря на тюремное заключение, отказывается отвергнуть Салима. Салим восстает против Акбара, терпит поражение в бою, но успевает освободить возлюбленную, и отец приговаривает его к смертной казни. Чтобы спасти Салима, Анаркали возвращается во дворец. Акбар выполняет её предсмертное желание — она проводит ночь наедине с Салимом, а утром даёт ему снотворное. Анаркали живьём замуровывают в стену, но Акбар освобождает её и берёт с неё обещание навсегда покинуть пределы империи.

В ролях

Производство

Урду-язычный драматург Имтиаз Али Тадж написал пьесу об истории любви Салима и Анаркали в 1922 году, в большей степени основанную на легенде XVI века, чем на фактах. После того, как пьеса была поставлена, последовали экранные версии. Первым стал немой фильм «Анаркали», снятый Ардеширом Ирани в 1928 году, и переделанный в звук в 1935. В начале 1940-х годов вдохновленный «Анаркали» продюсер Шираз Али Хаким и молодой режиссер Каримуддин Асиф, запланировали сделать ещё одну экранизацию, под названием Mughal-e-Azam. Они наняли четырех писателей на урду для разработки сценария и диалога: Амана (отец Зинат Аман, также известен как Аманулла Хан), Ваджахат Мирза, Камал Амрохи и Эсан Ризви. Неизвестно, как писатели сотрудничали или делились своими наработками, но в 2010 году Times of India заявила, что их «мастерство над поэтическим идиомой и выражением урду присутствует в каждой строке, придавая фильму его богатые сюжеты и замысловатость». Когда сценарий был близок к завершению, Асиф выбрал Чандра Мохана, Д. К. Сапру и Наргис на роли Акбара, Салима и Анаркали соответственно. Съемки начались в 1946 году в студии Bombay Talkies.

Проект столкнулся с многочисленными препятствиями, включая его временное прекращение. Политическая напряженность и общественные беспорядки вокруг раздела Индии в 1947 году и обретения независимости остановили производство. Вскоре после раздела Шираз Али иммигрировал в Пакистан, оставив Асифа финансистом. Чандра Мохан перенес сердечный приступ и умер в 1949 году. Шираз Али ранее говорил, что деловой магнат Шапурджи Паллонджи может финансировать этот проект. Хотя Паллонджи ничего не знал о кинопроизводстве, в 1950 году он согласился снять фильм с интересом к истории Акбара. Производство было возобновлено с новыми идеями.

Полагая, что фильм был отменен, Камал Амрохи, один из сценаристов, который также был режиссером, планировал снять фильм на ту же тему. Столкнувшись с Асифом, он согласился отложить проект. Другим несвязанным кинопроизводством, основанным на той же пьесе была «Анаркали» Нандлала Джасвантлала, в главных ролях Бина Рай и Прадип Кумар, ставшая самым кассовым фильмом Болливуда 1953 года.

Асиф первоначально отверг Дилипа Кумара в роли принца Салима. Кумар не хотел сниматься в историческом фильме, но принял роль по настоянию продюсера. По словам Кумара, «Асиф доверял мне достаточно, чтобы полностью передать мне очертания Салима». Кумар столкнулся с трудностями во время съёмок в Раджастхане из-за жары и доспехов, которые он носил. Роль Анаркали была сначала предложена певице и актрисе Сурайе, но позже пошла к Мадхубале, которая жаждала значительной роли. Мадхубала страдала врожденным пороком сердца, что было одной из причин, почему она иногда теряла сознание на съемочной площадке. Она также заработала ссадины на коже во время съемок сцен в тюрьме, но была полна решимости закончить фильм

Чтобы стать персонажем императора Акбара, Притхвирадж Капур, как сообщалось, «полностью полагался на сценарий и режиссера». До грима он говорил: «Prithviraj Kapoor ab jaa rahaa hai» («Притхвирадж Капур сейчас идет»), а после грима: «Akbar ab aa rahaa hai» («Акбар сейчас грядет»). Капур столкнулся с трудностями в своих тяжелых костюмах и страдал от волдырей на ногах после прогулки босиком по пустыне. Ланс Дейн, фотограф, который был на съемочной площадке во время съемок, вспоминал, что Капур изо всех сил пытался вспомнить свои строки в некоторых сценах. Он упомянул одну сцену, в которой Капуру потребовалось 19 дублей, чтобы сделать всё правильно. Во время съёмок Асиф велел Капуру, который сидел на диете, восстановить потерянный вес для своего изображения Акбара. Дурга Кхотэ сыграла роль жены Акбара Джодхабай, а Нигяр Султану — танцовщика Бахара. Закир Хуссейн, который впоследствии стал опытным музыкантом табла, первоначально рассматривался на роль молодого принца Салима, но она стала дебютной ролью для Джалала Агха, сына комедианта Агхи, который позже присутствовал в песне «Mehbooba Mehbooba» из фильма «Месть и закон» (1975).

Саундтрек

Критика
Автор Ашиш Нанди прокомментировал поэтическое качество диалогов, сказав, что «герои "Великого Могола" не просто говорят — они делают общее более изящным, они очищают его, они кристаллизуют его во множество огранённых и сверкающих драгоценных камней, они делают поэзию повседневным языком».

Stelios Kouloglou (, * 27. Februar 1953 in Athen) ist ein griechischer Politiker (Syriza), Journalist und Regisseur.

Leben

Nach Abschluss seines Pharmaziestudiums an der Universität von Athen, studierte Stelios Kouloglou Journalismus in Paris, Tokio und Indien. Seine journalistische Tätigkeit begann er im Jahr 1981 bei dem Magazin "Anti". Später arbeitete er als politischer Journalist für die Zeitung "To Vima" und als Korrespondent für die Zeitung "Augi" in Paris. Im Jahr 1989 zog er nach Moskau, wo er im Auftrag des Radio "Sky" und der Zeitung "Kathimerini" über die Ereignisse berichtete, die das Gesicht der Sowjetunion und der anderen ehemaligen sozialistischen Ländern änderten. Zwischen 1992 und 1995 war er Kriegskorrespondent im ehemaligen Jugoslawien. Er schreibt in mehreren Zeitschriften und veröffentlicht sieben Bücher. Sein Buch "Geh nie allein zur Post" zählte mit mehr als 80.000 Exemplaren zu den Bestsellern der Jahre 2002–2003 in Griechenland.

Im Jahr 1996 wird er Regisseur und Moderator des Programms "Reportage ohne Grenzen", einer wöchentlichen Doku-Serie im ERT. Diese Sendung wird viermal als beste griechische Nachrichtensendung ausgezeichnet. In den Jahren 2000 und 2002 wurde Kouloglou mit dem Euro-Comenius-Preis für die Dokumentarfilme "Kommunismus, die große Utopie des 20. Jahrhunderts" (sechs Folgen) und "Kurs gegen den Tod" (über ein Fußballspiel zwischen Deutschen und den Bewohnern des besetzten Kiews während des Zweiten Weltkriegs) ausgezeichnet.

Im Oktober 2005 leitete er als Redakteur und Moderator die Sendung "Thematiki Vradia" (Themen-Abend) im öffentlichen griechischen Fernsehen ET1. Am 12. Mai 2008 beschloss der Verwaltungsrat von ERT, den Vertrag mit dem Journalisten nicht zu erneuern. Die offizielle Begründung war, dass die Sendung alle Themen erschöpft habe. Kouloglou zufolge hatte jedoch der Sender in den vorausgegangenen Tagen einen Antrag auf Einstellung seiner Sendung "Generation von 700 €" gestellt und sich geweigert, die Produktion seiner Sendung über die Menschenrechte in China zu unterstützen. Zur Einstellung seiner Zusammenarbeit mit ERT haben verschiedene Abgeordnete des griechischen Parlaments Fragen an den zuständigen Minister gerichtet.

Am 1. November 2008 schuf er die Website TVXS "TV ohne Grenzen", eines der meistgelesenen Nachrichtenportale mit politischen Analysen.

Im Jahr 2008 führte er Regie bei dem Dokumentarfilm "Bekenntnisse eines Economic Hit Mans", zu dem er auch das Drehbuch schrieb. Der Film basierte auf dem autobiographischen Buch "Bekenntnisse eines Economic Hit Man" von John Perkins sowie auf persönlichen journalistischen Recherchen.  Kouloglou kommt darin zu dem Ergebnis, die Stärke der Vereinigten Staaten als wirtschaftliche Supermacht beruhe auf "einer geheimen Gruppe von Wirtschafts-Agenten, die betrügerische Finanzberichterstattung, Übernahmen, Erpressungen, Sex und Mord als Mittel benutzen, um das amerikanische Wirtschaftsimperium nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs zu verbreiten". Der Film wurde mit Preisen in Südkorea und in Spanien ausgezeichnet.

Im Januar 2010 kehrt Stelios Kouloglou zu ERT zurück und wird Mitglied des Verwaltungsrats. Im Juni 2010 gibt er diesen auf, um seine Sendung "Reportage ohne Grenzen" bis zur Schließung des ERT durch die Regierung von Antonis Samaras weiterzuführen.

Bei den Europa-Wahlen 2014 wird er als stellvertretender Abgeordneter mit SYRIZA gewählt, und im Januar 2015 übernimmt er das Amt von Geórgios Katroúgalos, der inzwischen stellvertretender Minister für Verwaltungsreformen geworden ist.

Werke

Zu seinen Dokumentarfilmen zählen auch "Oligarchie" (2012), ein Film über die Weltfinanzkrise, der in den USA, Deutschland, Belgien, Großbritannien, Spanien, Portugal, Griechenland und Ecuador gefilmt wurde. Sein Film "Holocaust des Gedächtnisses" (2013) ist eine schockierende Zeugenaussage der NS-Verbrechen in Griechenland. Sein Dokumentarfilm "I Nona" (deutsch: Die Patin), (2014) konzentriert sich auf Angela Merkel und ihrer Strategie, die deutsche Hegemonie in Europa durchzusetzen. Sein neuester Film "Evasion von Amorgos" bezieht sich auf den Exil-Politiker Giorgos Mylonas und zeigt das wahre Gesicht der Diktatur der Obristen in Griechenland.

Vocalizer — A class for speech synthesis.
SpeechKit — A class for configuring the library and managing its operation.
Before using any of the SpeechKit functionality, you must configure it using SpeechKit.configure.
By default, SpeechKit uses geolocation to get the current user coordinates. This can help improve speech recognition quality in some cases, such as when using the Recognizer.Model.maps language model. To disable it, pass the SpeechKit.configure method an empty pointer as the third argument (instead of an instance of LocationProvider).
Vocalizer is the main speech synthesis component in SpeechKit. Vocalizer is intended for single sessions of speech synthesis. It manages the entire text-to-speech process, including producing audio, communicating with the server, and so on.
PhraseSpotter allows continual analysis of an audio stream to detect specific phrases in it. It does not require an internet connection. All computations are performed on the device. To search for phrases in an audio stream, you need a model that contains the pronunciation of these phrases.
To start working with PhraseSpotter, you must specify the model and the object that will receive notifications. After this, you can stop and start phrase detection without re-initialization.

За врањског владику види Пахомије Гачић

Свети Пахомије (или ава Пахомије; око 292-348) је оснивач киновијског (општежитељног) монаштва у хришћанству.

Рођен је 292. у Теби у Египту, од родитеља пагана. У младости је био незнабожац. Као војник учествовао је у борби цара Константина против Максенција. Тада је сазнао од хришћана за Христа, и када је видео хришћански живот, Пахомије се крстио и отишао у Тиваидску пустињу, знаменитом подвижнику Паламону, код кога се десет година учио подвижничком животу.

Након тога је сам Пахомије започео оснивање општежитија, иако на том месту није било никога осим њега и његовог брата Јована. Ускоро су се скупили на то место многи људи и почели да се подвизавају по уставу Пахомијевом. А када је број инока порастао, Пахомије је постепено основао још шест манастира. Средиште Пахомијеве заједнице се налазило у Пабау, у Горњем Египту. Број његових ученика износио је до седам хиљада. Занимљиво је да се базилика светог Пахомија налазила 8,7 -{km}- од места на којем је пронађена библиотека Наг Хамади, а манастир у Хенобоскиону (Chenoboskion), где је Пахомије започео свој пустињачки живот, само и 5,3 -{km}- од Наг Хамадија.

Житије светог Пахомија приповеда како је "филозоф" из Панополиса (Акхмима) долазио међу Пахомијеве аскете да провери њихово "разумевање светих књига". Пахомије је послао свога помоћника Теодора, коме је филозоф поставио следећа питања: "Ко није био рођен, а ипак је умро? Ко је био рођен, али није умро? Ко је умро, али није воњао по распадању?" Теодор је одговорио: "Адам није био рођен, али је ипак умро. Хенок је био рођен, али није умро. Лотова је жена умрла, али, поставши стуб соли, није воњала по распадању." Прихвативши те одговоре, филозоф је отишао.

Пахомије је мирно преминуо 348. године у седамдесет четвртој години живота. Српска православна црква слави га 15. маја по црквеном, а 28. маја по грегоријанском календару. Један је од најзначајнијих хришћанских светаца. Многе од његових ученика црква је такође уврстила у ред светаца, међу којима су: Теодор Освештани, Јов, Пафнутије, Пекузије, Атинодор, Епоних, Сур, Псој, Дионисије, Псентаисије и други.

During the stay in Albacete, we have tested the prototype of a board game, which contributes the idea of social enterprise. The game aims to get into an entrepreneur and run a business in such a way, that the company not only generates profit, but also scores the "happiness" points. By getting them, the player can provide real changes for the local community. However, our business is not detached from reality – it must still bring profits and be competitive. This game is not like any other game – it is not just about the money, but also about influencing society through careful planning, taking care of your job and striving for your goals.
The game is currently being additionally tested and has its graphic layout refinished. The "GATES" Project aims to create innovative training tools for youth workers, based on two complementary pedagogical approaches: game-based training and learning from each other.
A short partners meeting – youth workers – allowed to test the educational solution, which has been developed during the project implementation. It was also an opportunity to build relationships between partners, which has a significant impact on the sustainability of the project and its future outputs, also after the end of its official financing.
Strengthening personal contacts between emploees will provide real opportunities for exchange of ideas, techniques and best practices. Besides of testing our game, each of the partners presents the "game based learning" methods. One of them was the Lego Serious Play method.
There were also created short film relations. One of them presents study visits to social enterprises in Albacete.
"Building skills for social entrepreneurship. Game based training to answer the disruptive shift that will reshape the youth workforce landscape" Project is financed by the EU Erasmus+ Program.


As you plan the launch of your new bar or restaurant, one of the most crucial steps to success is developing a brand. Your brand encompasses your logo, trademark and marketing materials, among other things, but it's more than the sum of these parts.
To state it simply, your brand is the image of your business.
Special benefits. Does your bar or restaurant fill a need or solve a problem? Maybe it's the only affordable lunch spot in an area with lots of high-end restaurants. Perhaps it's a family-friendly eatery near an amusement park.
Unique features. Does your bar or restaurant have something no competing establishment in your area has? That could be a banquet room, a sing-along piano bar or waiters dressed as clowns.
Production methods. Is there something noteworthy about how your food is made? Perhaps you serve only locally sourced or organic ingredients. Maybe your tortillas are handmade while customers watch.
Suppliers. Do you serve hard-to-find or desirable brands? Maybe your bar features a wide selection of premium tequilas, or your New York-style deli showcases brands normally sold only on the East Coast.
Target market. Who is your target customer? Families with young children? Hip singles? Sports fans? Foodies?
Atmosphere. Is your bar or restaurant hip or traditional? Romantic or family-friendly? Noisy and energetic, or quiet and peaceful?
Once you've developed a marketing message that "hits the spot," be sure all of your marketing efforts convey and reinforce that message. That's the secret to building a bar or restaurant brand.

Traveling to Disneyland with two babies sounds like an adorable experience... make sure they have Mickey Ears for a classic photo at the Happiest Place on Earth!
I believe you are referring to the Rider Switch feature, which allows guests to take turns waiting with the little Mouseketeers who are too young to ride.
If so, I'm happy to share that it's still available at select attractions in Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Park.
All you have to do is arrive with your entire group and check with a Cast Member to see if Rider Switch is being offered on the ride you want to experience. Then you'll have to divide into two groups, the first will be those riding the attraction first while the second group will be those waiting with the babies (up to three people max). They will wait for the first group in a designated area and when the first group is done experiencing the attraction, they can switch out babysitting duties and group #2 will have their tickets scanned to use the Rider Switch feature!
I hope you enjoy a Magical time at the Happiest Place on Earth!
