Sam and Richard welcome Onet.pl founder and Innovation Nest Co-Founder Piotr Wilam to the mic for this latest episode of #ProjectKazimierz. Listen to find out what Piotr learned in his early entrepreneurship endeavors and how he applied that knowledge to future successes.
35:37 How Fast Can Your Startup Grow?
Hello again #ProjectKaziemerz listeners, I'm here with my co-host Richard Lucas. How are you doing, Richard?
And Richard and I here had the office overlooking the…how to pronounce it?
Wawel Castle in the Wisla river.
We are sitting here in a great office with Piotr who I'm gonna let Richard introduce cause as you probably notices apparently on the show that Richard has friends, I seat here to help. So as a new person in Krakow I'm gonna give Richard more full introduction our guest today and then we are going to jump straight into, cause we have a lot of great staff to go over with.
Ok, Piotr Wilam is a friend of mine, let's my childrens' hosting parties in his house, I look forward. That's a very important think. He is also well known when been the founder of Polish equivalent of Yahoo, Google, company called Onet which is extremely wellknown and successful in Poland, and company that's kind of in the same market as amazon.com may be not exactly, but in the last year has become very visible in Krakow as a supporter of the startup community, not just by showing up and giving talks, but setting the first funds Innovation Nest that's dedicated to investing in this community. Also his wife gave a fantastic Tedx talk at Tedx Krakow about children university, which is really world changing initiative which helps thousands of children get access to the best professors originally just in Poland, but it's going global, so the Wilams, Piotr and his wife, I got really positive people. But may be probably don't let me do a talking, Piotr you should say whatever I left there.
Piotr, since I don't know you that well, can you talk about how you just got to the point where you are now, which is being a patron of innovation here in Krakow cause I know probably it's long journey to get here. How to get started?
Yes, it is. It is a long journey indeed. So when I was a student I wanted to be a scientist. It was my career I wanted to be an academic. And what is…the field that was particularly the last thing for me was the philosophy of science. So I was really really abstract thinking guy. And I got a scholarship to Oxford university, I studied Maths. More less in the same time there was this economic change, economic revolution in Poland. And till was here… I mean Poland became a capitalist country, socialism was abolished. And there was amazing eruption of entrepreneurial spirit. And a friend of mine just called me, "Hey, let's make a business, you will be able to earn money for your studies", I said, "Ok, let's do it for holidays". But it was so exciting that I started to be an entrepreneur. So the first business we had it was a travel guide publishing house, Pascal publisher. In 4 years we became number 1 travel guides.
That was in the early nieteen nineties?
Yes it was in nineties.
And this is ok, there are cars, we have electricity, there are no dinosaurs.
We'll cut back on that, but so where we did leave off… Ok, almost bankrupt and than stared to make money, which is familiar for entrepreneurs, at least the almost bankrupt part.
I know also about learning by doing, because, you know, I remember I have very good degree from university arriving in Oxford, Cambridge and I've been in a very good school Winnchester college, but when I came to Poland instead of studying things, I discovered that I just know nothing about the reality. For example, for the first time when my products went wrong, I realised that we needed a service department.
It was also in the nineties, wasn't it?
Yes, it was in 1991.
And I also realized when I was transferred from the army to business, how different those two fields were. Leadership in the army is quite different than leadership in business. Yeah, I can definitely emphasise with being a fresh student of these business rules.
I've just being reading Ben Horowitz book "Hard thing about hard things".
We'll have to get Jim Collins on the show, Richard. … I actually know Jim Collins, pretty well, so I'll give him a call.
So the first business I started was travel guide publishing house, and than we had… than we saw with my partner with Tomasz Kolbusz, my business partner, that something is going on, digital revolution is started, the world start to be different and these computers there will be powerful. So first, we started to publish interactive programs, interactive software on CDroms for children, software for children. Now there are plenty of mobile apps, we did things for computers, for desktop, 20 years, 20 years ago, and then we switched to Internet. There was a hardware computer manufacturer in Poland, Optimus. It was a public company, they were one of the top Polish companies in that times, and we convinced them to build it, tomorrow together. And so we started in 1998, and Optimus invested real money into this company, it was a couple of millions US dollars, it was equivalent of such sums.
Back in those days, it was more money, in Poland because you could buy a big tenement house in the city center with this money.
Absolutely, the determine of Optimus he was a visionary that he decided to invest such money into such things as Internet, into Internet business and we started to build a company. And then after two years strange things happened. There were banks calling us whether we want whether, we may do business with them. They will find us investors or maybe they will invest. And after another 2 months there were international banks calling us. So when Goldman Sachs called us, we knew that there something going on. There is really some new type of economy coming.
And we had know, we had a business before, we were travel guide publishers, so we wanted to build a real business that has users, that has revenues, that will be a big company, and then there was this, you know, this Internet bubble. It was really amazing time. So we hired Goldman Sachs actually, we planned, we had our IPO on NASDAQ planned for December 2001, but unfortunately in March 2001 there was… the dream has ended. In this time the company reached 300 people more than 300 people, we were employing this amount of people and we started to have revenues, but it was still… we still needed some time.
That means you were losing money?
So, Sam should I go right that?
Yeah, definitely. And we will jump in and go through some things. So in 2001 you sold Onet. Now was this pre…your … was this before the IPO was canceled or afterwards?
It was afterwards. But it was still quite.. it was very good exit so it was… I changed, my situation in my life changed. I was hard working entrepreneur before and after my exit I could afford things, I could be an investor. So what I did… I went to the United Kingdom again, this time to London, I went to London Business School. Yes, and I was looking for the next thing to do. And in London I've decided that I will be a business angel. At that time there were no business angels in Poland, there were very few in Europe, mainly in London. So I think I was the first business angel in Poland, first person who had a business card "Piotr Wilam Business Angel", and I started to invest in companies. It was… some investments were good, others were not that good. I was learning a lot in that time. And after few years I had this insight that problems in Poland and also in the most European countries in that time was that people were thinking in very local terms, they were thinking about their local markets, they were not seeing that the market has really changed, I mean the Internet business has became global. So I decided… I knew that I wanted to build a fund to invest in companies and help entrepreneurs who want to build global products and enter global markets. I started to talk with people, I convinced Mark Kapturkiewicz, my partner at Innovation Nest and we started a fund, we started Innovation Nest. So we started our talks 4 years ago, 3 years ago we started to invest and this is what I do today, here in Krakow, near Wisla river, overlooking Kazimierz that is just on the opposite side.
I think that a couple of years ago there were… 5 years ago there were almost no people who want to build a company that is not only for Polish market. And then this couple years ago there was in Krakow a couple of people who started to dream, started to achieve things that are more global. And it was… We were so lucky that these people very quickly they started to know each other, and they started to support each other. So and then we knew each other, we exchanged information. I mean you, Richard, speaking at many events, but it was quite unstructured, I think. And for me this enlightment it was this when I read a book by Brad Feld about startup communities, it was enlightment because this guy simply made it. So we were in the process we somehow felt that something is going on. And Brad Feld he went through this process in Boulder, Colorado and afterwards he described the process. So when I've read this book I realized, oh, I was extremely happy this guy knew what he was writing about. And from this moment I wanted to convince others that we should be very serious about building community, about building, you know, this group of people who really want to build things and people who believe that exchanging information, openness, supporting each other that it makes sense for everybody, that this giving is really getting the value for themselves.
It's interesting for me, but the image of America in Europe, I think, very unfairly, is often very selfish country where people are only interested in money, but in fact, I think that Europeans can learn a lot from this culture of high trust one of the effects of communism seemed to be in Poland only that people stop trusting each other. That was so..the free market was all about… was understood as being very narrow and self-interested, where is the efficiency of everyone trusting each other more than not trusting each other was a complete revelation. We used to come to the events and saying why you doing this, they were trying to understand the business model, and networking event. In fact it is much better if everyone is thinking well you know what was going on. So for me I started seeing on other people doing events too and everyone does a little bit more than just for themselves. The sum of individual process is great because than you feel you are not alone. There were people like Piotr who started many things earlier. Like open coffee meetups several years ago, but then kind of failed I think for him it was ok, but if the only people doing it in term it's not very much effective. And suddenly there was a kind of critical mass.
One of the things that you just touched on, Richard, I think it's an interesting point, if you are listening to this and you are interested in building a startup community in your town, may be it's not quite there.. just an example, I'm in a publishing business for triathlon, and the triathlon industry is a very new industry, and it's very fast growing, and one of the things that I'm trying to do in this industry is organizing different key vendors to support each other and I always make a point, "Hey, when I launching my product, it's not really competing with you instead of trying fight over the pie, let's grow the pie" because this sport can be much bigger, and I think what I'm seeing in Krakow is between Richard, you Piotr, and some other people is, you are helping business that technically could be competing for workers or capital, but, you know, if we just make Krakow better destination we're gonna attract worldwide talents, worldwide money into the destination, I think with the Google startup initiative and the Deutsche Telecom in Hub:raum where I'm right now, there is really nice synergy of people trying grow than pie rather than fight over the scraps.
Absolutely. It is exactly the essence of it…let's make the pie.
We lost capital to Warsaw, now we lost Google to Warsaw.
One of the very key people in our industry within Google was called David Ostrowski who still with Google I believe, he was saying if Krakow is so good at this, Krakow should help Warsaw, help Wroclaw because if these cities grows up, it's great for us also, because, you know, may be someone do billions in Warsaw if they do fantastic, for sure will come back to Krakow, or Krakow people can invest or even, you know, if it's in Berlin or Vienna or Estonia, it's still in the ecosystem.
I mean you are touching different things. I think, you know, that the architecture of innovation is distributed architecture. This is not one hub that pulls all resources, but there are local hubs, local centers at all of them are interconnected, they are connected with each other. I mean it seems that this model is really happening in Europe, so there is a question whether it is London or Berlin is bigger and will be the destination for tech innovation. I think the answer is neither, both of them will grow, each of them is different, each of them has different strong points and different weaknesses. So it's the same in Poland, the key is to be connected to be able to help people who…to introduce people to others who can really give them good advice, good connection or good business contact, it's the point. So I think it's very good for everybody, for Krakow, for Poland, for Europe, that Warsaw will be a strong center..
Yes, and I often been asked what it's like to be foreign businessman I've been longer in Krakow – for 24 years – than anywhere else in the world, in fact, I was really in foreign business when I have.. I used to run a company where I had guys from Serbia and from Macedonia helping Brazilian clients to reserve mining machinery in Ukraine and Russia for use in Western Europe. And was it really a foreign business? I didn't know what it meant. And even right now, last week I had a Frenchman who represents a Japanese company talking to us about using American products to deliver solutions to museums in Western Europe, and I think that idea that there are some developing countries that are behind and there are advanced countries that are ahead is true in statistical terms, but people here in Krakow or in Poland who are just as sophisticated as the people in Oxford or Cambridge or in California, may be not the same numbers, but as you said the key is the connection just the awareness that with a click of the button we're all in the same conference room.
Absolutely. I mean you touched different things also you know if, you know, sometimes it's good to be outside the main centers, because you can think differently. If you are in the main place than other people there are, you know, fashions, there are buzzwords, and if you slightly in a smaller place, you can look at things from different angle.
This is the famous example from the II World War when there was issue of shipping to bring goods from America to Europe, and the British ship-building engineers who were the best in the world apparently was so busy building ships, because German u-boots were sinking them, but it was impossible to lend our ship-building expertise to the Americans. An an engineer… in fact, professor Charles Handy from London Business School writes about this that an American engineers interested in "Kaiser" which is German name.. that became known as the "liberty ships" and the time to build the liberty ships was… I think it was prefabricated, so he used production line methodology for ship building and provided [unintelligible] they can do ships in 5 weeks rather than 9 months and so the lack of British know-how actually gave to Americans the clean sheet to do it better, so these days I have to say that the first thing I say to a Polish entrepreneur if he tells me that there's no one doing it is "Have you done research in English, at least?" And I won't switch to Polish, but he said "nie, nie, nie." And then I say "Well forgive me for saying, but you know, the chance is that you're the first in the world, compared to anyone, if you haven't checked in English are quite small." And always try to buy what you're trying to sell, because, there'll be some little shop in Cincinnati that's doing that already. You can learn from that, it's tremendous, it's so much easier than it used to be.
The great thing about Poland is one of the hardest languages in the world to learn which I'm learning right now, and if it's been done before, chances are that it been done in English speaking market, Polish all know English, most of them at least in the tech scenes, they can go research and bring it in Poland, so I think there's a great chance for innovation in Poland based off of the fact that they do this linguistic barrier to entry here in their own market, but the flip side to that, Richard which you always bring up, and this is why we are doing this podcast in English, even though we're centered here in Poland, one: I wouldn't be the co-host, but two, we want to reach a global market. So you're confining yourself to 40 million people market, but that can be a good and a bad thing. How have you seen that play out in investments?
I mean it happens it other markets. Recently I was looking at startups that got A round funding in London and in Stockholm. And I have to say that these Swedish companies were more interesting because most of them… all of them were global companies, because Sweden is small after all. And with the London based startups, there were plenty of them that have a natural, you know… that were devised, designed for the local British markets. So you know there is this curse of 40 million.
Cammon Cambridge is a separate land. It's provocative.
And you were there Richard, too.
In my college in Cambridge there was the Dolby room. Dolby was a researcher for Pembroke College, Cambridge. When I was renting it for parties I made joke about it about there not being a problem with the noise, and the guy who … because obviously, Dolby is famous for their noise reduction technology.
Anyway this is not about Cambridge, this about Krakow. We're being rather optimistic, and apart from the technical scene, there's a strong cultural scene, beautiful city center, but if you are thinking about the problems and the things, you know, because people may be listening and thinking successes, you know, kind of if Krakow's making it, fine. What are the dangers, what if things go wrong, what should we need to fix here in Krakow, in Poland if we want to keep up our place at the top table, if such a thing exists.
I think that the main danger is time. So now the trend is rising, now this community and other communities they are going up. So the number of good companies coming out of these communities is growing. These best companies are growing, but the main question is about speed. How fast this growth will take place? Because, yes, as I told you earlier, I mean there are prosperity times and there are crises, and so, you know, this good trend will not last forever. We have to grow fast to make it stable, to make it really sustainable. And it is in my opinion, you know, is challenge. So we should not… I mean I'm really proud that there are a couple really great companies that are here, that are growing, but, you know, we should create a pyramid, there should be best companies, there should be companies that are, you know, at the scaling stage, and that should be these starting companies, people who join, for the first time, startups, students, others who look at these communities and there is something fascinating in them for these people… And all this, all this should work. So we should not be happy that we've achieved something, there is a long road ahead and we should really, really work hard.
I met your wife, Agata, not only through the TEDx Krakow talk she gave, but the TEDx movement is famous for spreading ideas. And I think one of, recently in the NPR TED radio, the most recent episode is about success, and one of characteristics of success is great character persistence, I think it's very important for the younger generation to realise that this prosperity, relative prosperity, is not to be taken for granted.
I not going to list the companies invested by Piotr, cause he'll think I'm trying to be nice, and you can see, I think you can see all on the Innovation Nest website, the investments you've made.
I think we need to… complacency is very dangerous, and the other thing is ambition, for me the ambition is to have a world class company. It doesn't necessary have to be sold. Joel Spolsky who invented Trello was here in Krakow, and he just said that if you can have 100 million dollars, 100 million customers and get 100 dollars a year from 1 percent of them, that's a 100 million dollars business, and if he can do that with 20 guys, he is quite happy, you know that's like, it's fine… it would be wonderful to have more [unintelligible] in tiny niches, it doesn't have to be a Skype, although a Skype would be nice, it's just that how many people aim for the best company in the world. I think we do have some ambitious people, but they need to make it happen, right?
And Piotr, one of the interesting thing as an outsider coming in, who literally traveled the world and settled in Krakow about 6 months ago to start my… start putting roots down, because I was traveling remote businessman and I realised that I got towards a certain revenue level that that works for a lifestyle business, but not for a business where you really want to build in scale and build something enduring. And I knew that I needed to settle down, and one of the things that fascinated me when I came to Krakow was the …I'm a history junky, I love history and architecture and all that stuff, but also this very young spirit of the town which comes from the Jagiellonian University, AGH, Technical Mining School.
Because at the end of the day the key ingredient, and I'm seeing this at Hub:raum, is Deutsche Telekom's come and they doing some seed investing, but how do you create that alchemy, have you studied that a little bit, and what your plan for bringing this piece of the puzzle to Krakow?
There are two pieces: money and know-how and network that is connected with smart investors. And it's obvious that it's smart money is the main issue, so to have more smart investors investing in Krakow, so what we do now we have started a pilot of our second fund, and we started to invest not only…we have two goals: one goal is to invest not only in Poland, but also in European startups, and the second goal is to build a network of investors… to know people, to be credible, to have trust, and to encourage them to co-invest in companies that are here in Poland. So this network is the key answer… is the answer to your question. To encourage people to show people that there are some things really interesting going on over here. And that these companies really have very huge chances to succeed, because if you invest in a company there are some numbers, there is a product, but there is also the team, there this entrepreneur. If you are a foreign investor and you see for the first time a Polish entrepreneur who is placed somewhere, it is very exotic, I mean investors will not invest because it's strange situation. The investor has to be familiar with this environment, has to see, for example, Polish entrepreneurs who succeed with other companies, so it's all about the perception of risk. If you don't know, if it's a new situation for the investor, then the risks could be everywhere, this perception of risk is big. And to make it familiar, to make a network, to build credibility, it is the essential thing. So I believe in open society, in open economy and bringing these smart foreign investors who will invest here. It's very important I think. If they will come… On the other hand, there are local investors like Richard, like me, and if we succeed, we will invest more, so it is all dynamic, the others will join, the others will invest as well, when there will be exits from companies, employees of these companies will make money in such a way, and they will be investing.
So you pull them up to your level.
Yes, exactly, but the most important thing is to be world class, do really good things and to attract the best investors over here. Of course there is… in the success of any company there is the important element of luck, so it's not something that we can plan that it will happen, but it's something that I believe in that it will really happen, and there are signs that it is happening.
So, we start with some companies, some of them start to be successful, then the network attracting other investors, attracting smart investors from abroad and the whole, you know, there is a snowball start to roll, it gets bigger. And we are observing it, but we should, you know, make it roll very fast, to build this critical mass as fast as possible.
I think just as we come towards the end of this, I would say that it's good to mention the word "luck". Poland used to be an unlucky country within the European Union and outside the Eurozone there in euro crisis and being a member of NATO when horrible things were happening to the east, and many things, and it's sort of a part of the Polish mentality to feel that we are a rather unlucky country, but right now Poland is in quite a good place compared to many of our neighbors.
I would argue with that, if I may.
Poland was a lucky country for several hundred years, and then we just had 2 hundred years of very unlucky.
But last of all Warsaw.
Dear listeners, it was a joke.
Krakow has a tradition of being a trading center, and trade brings people together. And one of the good things is that quite of Poland reputation that the reality is better than the reputation, and one the things we can do is manage expectations, if at each contact point things that are better than people expect, that Krakow is way more beautiful than people expect… There was former Prime minister called Jan Krzysztof Bielecki, who said that when he went to Western Europe representing Poland as prime minister, he felt that you know, like a monkey that had walked into the room, and they were like "the monkey walks on its hind legs," and "oh, the monkey speaks English." And this was 10-15 years ago. But … I was a real while ago that this was sort of sense that things are much better thans people expect, and you know, on that perhaps optimistic note, I'll just hand it over to Sam to close the podcast.
Yeah, and Richard I think you got a great point. Poland to me was never on my radar until it just happened to meet someone from Poland and decide to visit it, and it definitely blew me away in terms of my expectations. I think the last part that I would just like to congratulate both of you on is, you know, you need an education center, you need innovation, you need money, but then the the last part is you need this leadership… and business leadership culture in Krakow is the last key ingredient, and I think both of you have been leaders in developing that. And Richard you have to do another show on the leadership part of business versus the money side, cause I think that's a fascinating topic, and that's the part of the world that I came from and my background and training. So thank you both, Richard, for bringing me together here with Piotr, and thank you both for leading this community that I've adopted and decided to grow my entrepreneurial venture in. And you know every week I spend here I'm more and more thankful that I ran into this great group here. And with that Project Kazimierz listener, thank you for joining us for another episode, this I hope was educational for you and gave you some ideas no matter where you might be in the world, whether locally in Krakow or Poland, even if you from Warsaw we welcome you and definitely from any other part of Europe or the United States, hopefully this'll give you some ideas. If you are not from Krakow or never have been here we would love to have you visit, and definitely drop us a note on the blog, if you do plan on coming to visit, and make sure we are welcome you to our startup meetings, and Open Coffee meetings and things that are around here, cause we love to meet all our listeners who feel inspired to visit this great innovation hub in Central Europe. Thank you again for listening, and thank you, Richard and Piotr.
Thank you Sam and Richard.

A Walk and a Talk in the Sun
Despite focussing on a group of American soldiers as they land in Italy during the 1943 invasion with a mission to fortify a farm house "A Walk in the Sun" is a very different sort of war movie. It is different because whilst we have action and drama it is a wordy war movie about the men as they land and make their way across country. We listen to their chats about mundane things whilst also hearing their inner thoughts and that wordiness makes it such a different sort of war movie.
Now I have heard "A Walk in the Sun" described as one of the most realistic war movies ever made and I won't disagree because I couldn't tell you if it was like that for the men in the front line. But what I will say that if you are only accustom to war movies which centre on a mission and the fighting it is going to be hard going, seriously hard going especially during the first half. This first half as we watch the men in the barges waiting to land, then digging in to the beach when they land and then make it to nearby woods is predominantly talk. No seriously we get pretty much a continuous flow of talk and whilst some is about the mission there is a lot which is general chit chat between men and their plans for after the war. It almost feels like it is going nowhere and you have to dig beneath the talk to understand the characters and the purpose of what seems random chit chat in giving themselves a purpose to continue.
Now the second half is very similar to the first as we continue with a string of conversations with many seeming to serve no purpose at all. But then we also get more familiar aspects of war as various people either get killed or wounded during various attacks from a plane swooping on a ditch to close encounters with armoured vehicles. It allows the emotional impact to start to show itself more obviously as these men have to deal with loss especially of their assigned leaders.
But this second half then delivers what for me is the best part of the movie, the siege on the actual farmhouse after they have made their way across 6 miles of enemy country. Now again we have chit chat, it is the predominant element of the movie but the actual siege is atmospheric, dramatic, action packed but also emotional. For me it makes getting through the heavily worded first half worth while because admittedly I prefer my war movies to be action packed but at the same time this action has realism to it as we see many men die in the process.
Now back in 1943 "A Walk in the Sun" had a lot of fresh young talent, Dana Andrews, Richard Conte, John Ireland, Norman Lloyd and Lloyd Bridges are just some of the faces you will recognize and who went on to have big careers. What is interesting is that with this being a movie about the men each of their characters are not only distinct but also get their moment to shine such as Conte's bravado with his machine gun. But at the same time there is no one star, it is a collective of good performances which make it work, makes all the characters seem real.
What this all boils down to is that whilst "A Walk in the Sun" builds to a brilliant action packed climax it is not your normal sort of war movie. This is a movie about the men and the way they react in battle from their fears to the general conversations which help them to keep going.

Linear Systems: Why Does Linear Combination Work (Graphically)?
3) The lines lie on top of one another, so there are many points that the lines have in common.
Each has its own advantages and disadvantages in various situations, however I often used to wonder about why the linear combination approach works. My earlier post explains why it works from an algebraic perspective. This post will try to explain why it works from a graphical perspective.
Note that the new equation, a linear combination of the original two equations, shares the one point that both original lines have in common. Why does that happen? Will it always happen?
The left side of equation (1) above is the sum of the two y-terms, or "2y". The right side is the sum of the x-terms and constants that produced those two y-terms… in other words, we have added the y-coordinates from both lines together. On the left as the two y variables, and on the right as their definitions in terms of x.
Then, as we move from equation (1) to equation (2), we divided both sides by two. What is the vocabulary term that describes adding two numbers together, then dividing by two? Averaging. Pick any x-coordinate on the graph above, and draw a vertical line through it… the blue y-coordinate your line intercepts is the average of the two y-coordinates where your line intercepts the black lines.
When we average the y-coordinates from the black lines, if both black lines have the exact same y-coordinate, the average MUST also have that exact same value. Therefore, the only y-coordinate that will remain unchanged by the y-averaging process is one where both lines already have the same y-coordinate. That is why the sum of the two equations produces an equation that MUST pass through the point at which the original two lines intersected.
At this point, you may be asking yourself: but wait a minute, what happens when we multiply both sides of an equation by a constant before adding? This corresponds to finding a "weighted average", and when the total is divided by the sum of the weightings, you will arrive at the same result: the only unchanged points will be those that satisfied both equations.
However, this weighted average of the equations (3) is much more useful than equation (2) above. The weighting used in this example caused one of the variables to disappear from the resulting equation entirely, resulting in either a horizontal or a vertical line. With such a line, one that is perpendicular to one of the axes, it is easy to determine one of the coordinates of the point that is the solution to the system.
And once we know one coordinate of the solution, we can plug that coordinate into ANY of the equations (the original two, or any weighted sum of the original two) to find the other coordinate of the solution to the system, since ALL linear combinations of the original two equations will pass through the solution point. Or, we could repeat the linear combination process in a way that cancels out the other variable, resulting in a line perpendicular to the other axis, then read off the value of the remaining coordinate of the solution from the graph.
To summarize, the linear combination process relies on the fact that a weighted average of the equations in the system will always result in an equation that passes through the point that is the solution to the original system. If we choose our weights cleverly before averaging, we can produce a line perpendicular to one of the axes (and which passes through the solution to the system). This perpendicular line makes it easy to determine the value that one variable must have, at which point we have "solved for" one coordinate of the point that is the solution to the system.
Very nice explanation sir. I have never thought this way. Thanks.
Thank you for saving me and my friend for our math test.


LACK of volunteers has stalled the establishment of a Petone community patrol.
Petone needs around 35 volunteers to offer a few hours of their time every four to six weeks to be the eyes and ears for police.
Sergeant Anaru Pewhairangi says police call the volunteers capable guardians.
"They become guardians for their community," says Sergeant Pewhairangi, who is trying to establish the patrols as an early initiative in his posting at Petone community policing centre.
A decline in crime has been attributed to the patrols elsewhere in New Zealand.
In Napier, for example, the community patrol project was recently recognised at the Community Patrols of New Zealand (CPNZ) conference for reducing the number of car thefts.
CPNZ has been operating since 2000 and currently has around 5000 people nationwide offering their time to help local communities.
Patrols can operate around the clock and volunteers work in groups of two or more to ensure safety and have direct communication with street staff, says Sergeant Pewhairangi.
Patrollers go out in pairs for two to four hour shifts in a council-leased vehicle to survey allocated areas that may have had some recent criminal activity.
They observe and note suspicious and criminal behaviour and report back to local police.
During a shift, volunteers receive information from a co-ordinator at the Lower Hutt Police station about calls received at the 111 communications centre and events happening in the area.
Community patrols have already been established in Eastbourne, Stokes Valley, Wainuiomata, Upper Hutt, Taita and Naenae.
The community patrol group has been approaching local businesses asking for volunteers and financial assistance.
He is hoping about 35 people will volunteer their time to spread the shifts out and share the workload.
Some people have already approached police wanting to offer their time and support, but more numbers are needed to organise a fair roster.
People from all ages are invited to express their interest in becoming a patroller. They will be vetted by police and provided training, support and information for their role.
The patrol will work alongside Maori Warden officers, Walkwise, Neighbourhood Support groups and police to encourage Petone residents to make their community safer by becoming proactive in their community.
Anyone interested in getting involved with community patrol should contact Petone police on 494-8400.


For the Sociology of Religion course which I just finished at SUNY Brockport we had to read 4 books. The last book we were assigned is entitled, "The Mountain Of Silence" by Kyriacos Markides.
Markides is a sociology professor at the University of Maine and he spent several years studying the spirituality of the Athonite monks at the Panagia monastery on Cyprus. It is a fascinating book and I learned a lot from it. Not only did I learn a lot intellectually but it has deepened my faith in remarkable ways that I am still discovering even after finishing the book.
I highly recommend the book to people who are interested in deepening their own spirituality and coming to understand monasticism.
I will be making comments about things I found interesting in the book for the next couple of weeks.

Following a careful step-by-step validation, simulations of impact on woven fabrics of Kevlar, PBO, and Dyneema were performed. The procedure consisted on, firstly, validating the impact on a single yarn and checking that the transverse wave velocity and the critical velocity matched the theoretical and experimental values observed using an ultra-high-speed camera. Secondly, a single woven layer was created using the "validated" yarns. The pyramid that forms during normal impact on the single layer propagates similarly to the transverse wave of a single yarn (but at a different velocity). This pyramid propagation velocity was also compared and validated with the tests and is a characteristic of the fabric material. Finally, using the single layer from the second step, a lay-up with multiple layers was impacted and the position of the apex and base of the pyramid created on the back was measured in the simulations and tests producing a validated multi-layer model. An additional validation performed on the multi-layer model was to compare the ballistic limit of simulations and tests. The multi-layer fabric model was further explored by adding matrix to create a woven composite. Various meshes were created, always respecting the total areal density, matrix volume fraction, and porosity. The model selected was able to reproduce both the apex and pyramid motion in the composite and provide good estimates of the ballistic limits for thick targets. Unidirectional composites have a very different architecture, i.e. they are made of individual fibers embedded in a matrix in a 0/90 lay-up. An FEA model cannot simulate all the individual fibers (microscale) and their interactions because of the high computational cost. Instead, the strategy adopted was to use a mesoscale model where the fibers of a layer are bundled in a flat yarn. The results and validation of this model as well as future challenges will also be presented in this paper.


Female tennis star, Caroline Wozniacki has become the latest sportsperson to get involved with blockchain as she was named as an ambassador of Lymph, a blockchain startup which provides rewards for physical activity.
Following her endorsement, her sponsors Lymph got an immediate return on investment. In a blog post, Lymph said that the value of its LYM token grew by more than 50% in 24hours following the endorsement deal. LYM tokens at the time stood at $0.041433 and the coin market cap was $25 million. The company attributed the gains to the influence of the sportswoman.
Wozniacki, who won her first career grand slam at the Australian Open in January is taking her new role seriously. While she prepares for Wimbledon, she spends her time away from the court to promote the fitness app brand. She already had two major interviews in quick succession. The first, a live interview with CNN International where she talked about her career, her love for Liverpool, and of course, Lympo. She followed up with a more recent interview with Sky Sports News.
Lympo is a blockchain-based app that tracks fitness users' goals and rewards them for achieving them. It syncs data from health apps and wearables. Its ecosystem connects users with fitness professionals, gyms, and co-workers for partnerships and challenges. In a statement to Forbes, Lympo said that Wozniacki is the first female athlete to endorse a blockchain company.
The WTA world number two joins a male-dominated list of sportspersons who have endorsed blockchain businesses or Initial Coin Offering. Football legends Luis Figo, Michael Owen and Lionel Messi, as well as boxing heroes Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, have all signed similar deals. Messi currently playing for Barcelona FC was announced as an ambassador for Sirin Labs, a startup working on blockchain enabled electronics. They recently entered a partnership with Foxxcomm to build the first blockchain phone.


Loud Technologies and the commission have reached an agreement that ends an investigation into Loud's importation and marketing practices.
As part of the deal, Loud will make an $85,000 voluntary contribution to the U.S. Treasury and admit no wrongdoing. The company will also institute an FCC compliance plan with regular reports to the agency.
In 2010, the agency's Enforcement Bureau queried Loud, asking questions related to Loud's manufacture, importation and marketing of digital devices. Loud gave the commission documentation for Mackie models marketed by the company including technical compliance and labeling information. The Woodinville, Wash. company says all of its imported devices now comply with FCC rules and the company has taken remedial steps to ensure it brings the unlabeled digital devices into compliance also.
The FCC told Loud to appoint a compliance officer within 30 days and a compliance plan within 60 days. The company must also initiate a training program on FCC equipment marketing rules and file regular compliance reports with the agency.
The company can break up the $85,000 payment into three installments, with the first $28,333 due in 30 days.

The majority opinion in the Illinois Supreme Court held that if a change was to be made, the task was for the legislature, not the court. The five in the majority were not ready to deliver an opinion like that in MacPherson, Henningsen, Greenman.' If they had, there is real reason to believe that a similar consequence of an immediate and substantial judicial following would have developed. Without saying so, they seemed to be influenced by the thought that they would be complete pioneers in uncharted territory, with no precedents to rely upon or to interpret. Are there any judicial precedents? Yes--quite a number--all relevant, but in varying degrees and in differing respects. Some courts have adopted a form of comparative negligence. The leading example is Tennessee with its judicially created doctrine of remote contributory negligence, which is actually a form of comparative negligence, though the Tennessee Supreme Court has frequently denied it. The essential difference between the Tennessee rule and ordinary comparative negligence is that in the latter, damages are mitigated or diminished in accordance with the relative degrees of negligence of the parties, while in the former, they are diminished in accordance with the relative closeness of the causal connection. The Tennessee doctrine, which developed gradually through court decisions, is now firmly established.

Plate 6a, b, c, d, e.Field trials were used to further investigate short term effects of spills of Gippsland crude oil and dispersed oil.
A.Oil treatments were pumped into plots during rising tidal water.
B.Dispersed oil treatments formed a milky mixture with seawater and this was distributed throughout each plot.
C.Oil was contained by the enclosures and the specially constructed "tide gates" allowed tidal waters to enter and leave the plots while oil was contained inside.
D.As water levels dropped, oil was deposited on exposed roots and sediments. The Gippsland crude oil formed a waxy brown, green layer in pooled accumulations in depressions and within crab burrow entrances.
E.Oil released was successfully contained within the plots which were monitored using litter traps, tagged shoots, sediment samples, and observations of faunal activity. Within two days of the sealing of the oil, the most obvious impact was the death of infauna. The trees, at this time showed no obvious effect.


Today's Forum Thread of the Day showcases the new SeeMore putters. The putters feature The SeeMore RifleScope Technology (RST), designed for an accurate setup and proper alignment. The technology has proven popular in the past and these new additions from SeeMore have generally been received well by our members on our forums.
We have plenty of photos of the new designs in our forum thread here.
Here are a few posts from our members giving their reaction to the new SeeMore putters, but make sure to check out the entire thread and have your say at the link below.
Static alignment at Address is prone to two problems.
1. The chosen line is wrong so alignment at Address is irrelevant.
2. The moment you move the putter into dynamic stroking mode all the static alignments are lost. How do you maintain dynamic control of the putting stroke?
I agree with Stevek above. He sounds like an engineer while I am a salesman so cannot speak to his comments. But will say I have tried the alignment set up and it always feels off. Like the face is pointing left. Not to mention the putter is a lot like an iron where the player has different ways to hold and stroke the putter. So that alignment does not help. I will say that SeeMore putters are quality made and have had a couple good ones.
Thank you, Benny…. you are correct in your observations. See More putters may give you added confidence at Address and that will make you feel better when you start your putting stroke. However, these fancy modern putters are no better than a well controlled Bullseye putter, and that only happens after long and intensive practice putting. No magic putter out there.

Three Stages of "So Cold"


Caravan Next brings you to the Human Mosaic festival in Poland!
The "Human Mosaic" Festival will be held in Goleniów, Poland from 24 August to 3 September. The event is in the framework of the project Caravan Next, of which ALDA is a partner.
The "Human Mosaic" Festival is a need, a wish, or rather a desire. It was created by a number of diverse people with different ideas, goals and backgrounds, but with a shared common trait: curiosity. An old town in the middle of woods celebrates a ten-day holiday entirely dedicated to creativity.
At the end of the harvest Goleniów opens its doors to people inviting them to enjoy the riverside lit by the stars, bonfires, theatrical lamps and rays of the sun. The world spins, time flies but you can always slow down and stop by Goleniów. There, knowledge hungry people build bridges over generation gaps, leave traces on the #cultureintheworld map as well as compose a colorful mosaic of differences and similarities. Everyone can contribute to the mosaic of reality and step into the imaginary archipelago of freedom with enjoyable colors and sounds.
CARAVAN NEXT is a large-scale Social Community Theatre collaborative project. Social Community Theatre's objective is to promote community empowerment through the use of art and theatre.
The event was prepared by artists from the Teatr Brama and the Caravan Next network as well as by musicians and the local community of Goleniów. The events of the project entail several cultural experimentations within the framework of social community theatre. The broader aim is to empower marginalized sections of the local society in times of crisis through indoor and outdoor workshops and performances with citizens and theatre groups from all over Europe and the world.

Bali earthquake kills three, injures seven
Three people were killed Saturday when an earthquake struck the Indonesian tourist island Bali, the disaster agency said.
The 4.8 magnitude quake struck at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometres (six miles) northeast of the town of Banjar Wanasari. Shallow quakes tend to do more damage than deep tremors.
Two people died when the quake triggered a landslide that buried their house in Bangli regency while another person was killed in the port town of Karangasem, officials said.
The death toll was not expected to rise, they added. "The quake was felt strongly for five seconds," said disaster agency spokesman Abdul Muhari.
"People were panicking and ran from their houses when the quake hit." The tremor's epicentre was far from the main tourist hub in Bali, which is slowly reopening to international visitors after a pandemic shutdown.
Indonesia experiences frequent quakes due to its position on the Pacific "Ring of Fire", an arc of intense seismic activity where tectonic plates collide that stretches from Japan through Southeast Asia and across the Pacific basin.
In January, more than 100 people were killed and thousands left homeless by a 6.2-magnitude quake that struck Sulawesi island, reducing buildings to a tangled mass of twisted metal and chunks of concrete in the seaside city of Mamuju.
A 7.5-magnitude quake and a subsequent tsunami in Palu three years ago left more than 4,300 people dead or missing.—APP

Michigan is located in the Central Great Lakes Region in the upper Midwest of the United States. It is known as the "mitten state" because of lower Michigan's unique shape, and consists of two seperate peninsulas jutting into the Great Lakes, and has borders with Ohio and Indiana (S), Wisconsin (W), and the Canadian province of Ontario (N,E). The City of Detroit, Michigan's largest city, is located in Southeasern Michigan, and is known as the Motor City due to the three major U.S. automakers being headquartered there.
Motto, If You Seek a Pleasant Peninsula, Look about You.
Northern Michigan's vast wilderness has rolling hills and valleys, numerous forests, rivers, streams and inland lakes, and some 3,000 mi (4,800 km) of Great Lakes shoreline. The Northern region has a dryer, arid and pleasantly cool summer climate, and has long attracted vacationers from all over the U.S., Canada and even parts of Europe.The Grand Traverse Region has become well-known for agriculture, especially fruit, such as cherries and grapes. Traverse City is known as the "Cherry Capital of the World" and celebrates with a week long festival, the Cherry Festival, each year during the 2nd week in July. In the past couple of decades, the Grand Traverse Region has become well known for its vineyards and the area boasts more than two dozen wineries dotting the Leelanau and Old Mission Peninsulas. Several locally produced white wines have received critical acclaim in international wine tasting competitions, especially the rieslings and pinot grigio varietals, as well as chardonnay. Northwest Lower Michigan also has a vast array of restaurants, from 5-star gourmet fine dining establishments to Brewpubs.
In the winter, Michigan's snow-covered hills bring skiers from all over the Midwest. Places of interest in the state include Mackinaw Island, the Mackinaw Bridge, Taquamenon Falls, Pictured Rocks and Sleeping Bear Dunes National lakeshores; and Isle Royal National Park. Northwest Lower Michigan is often referred to as the "Gold Coast," due to its sandy beach shoreline and Lake Michigan sunsets. The area stretches from Ludington to the Southwest to Frankfort, Traverse City, Charlevoix, Petoskey and North to the Straights of Mackinaw. Traverse City is the economic, cultural and shopping hub of Northwest Michigan and it also has the region's largest airport, Cherry Capital. The Grand Traverse Region is home to Northwestern Michigan College, Interlochen Center for the Arts, Dennos Museum, the Traverse City Film Festival, and numerous golf courses, ski areas, casinos and wineries. The Grand Traverse Resort & Spa in Acme, MI and Munson Medical Center are two of the area's largest employers.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Its not every week Bills linebacker Lorenzo Alexander finds himself leading the NFL in sacks.The 10-year journeyman intends to enjoy the moment for however long it lasts.Ive got cats texting me and calling me from around the league that Ive played with, Alexander told The Associated Press on Monday, noting one of the congratulatory messages he received was from Titans linebacker Brian Orakpo. Orakpo hit me this morning, saying, `Man, Im chasing you.Get in line, Orakpo. You, too, Von Miller.Coming off a three-sack performance in Buffalos 30-19 win at Los Angeles on Sunday, Alexander has set the leagues early season pace by upping his total to seven. That puts him a half-sack ahead of Miller, and one up on Orakpo, Alexanders former teammate in Washington.The production is off the charts for a 33-year-old who totaled nine sacks in his first 127 career games . Hes Buffalos first player to register a sack in each of the first five games of a season since sacks became an official NFL statistic in 1982.More important is how Alexander has played a role in helping re-establish the pass rush in Buffalo a year after Rex Ryans defense managed just 21 sacks -- a franchise low in a 16-game-season. The Bills 17 sacks in five games matches the number they had through five games in 2014, when they led the NFL with 54 sacks.So much for Buffalo missing Mario Williams, its top pass-rushing threat who was cut in March because of his high-priced contract and after he spent much of last season publicly questioning whether he fit in Ryans scheme.Thats something not lost on Alexander, who was aware of the complaints raised last year.Everybody wasnt bought in, Alexander said. And when you have that within your team, youre not going to do as well.Ryan credited Alexander for how quickly hes grasped the defensive system. Ryan then added he doesnt recall Alexander ever complaining about having to drop back in coverage, which was one of Williams criticisms.Lorenzo deserves all the credit. This is somebody that came in here and accepted a different role that we had for him, Ryan said. He came in here and just outplayed everybody. He earned that job.The Bills signed Alexander in April to initially shore up their special teams units and play a complimentary role as a defensive backup.Those plans began changing in May, when projected starter, rookie first-round draft pick Shaq Lawson, had shoulder surgery. Veteran Manny Lawson was next in line before he was sidelined by a partially torn pectoral muscle once training camp opened.Alexander formally took over the starting spot once Lawson was cut a week before the start of the season.Now, Ryan cant foresee Alexander giving up the starting spot even when Shaq Lawson is eligible to return next week.Well worry about the rest of the stuff later, but Lorenzos a starter, Ryan said. I guess the big question right now is he going to start in the Pro Bowl because thats how hes playing.Alexander, who also has two forced fumbles, is enjoying a breakthrough season not long after he thought his career might be over. He contemplated retiring after sustaining a Lisfranc injury to his right foot three games into the 2013 season with Arizona.The injury slowed his performance the following year with the Cardinals, and he spent last season playing mostly special teams in Oakland.I didnt want to go out the way I was playing. I didnt want to leave that lasting taste of regret, Alexander said. I became relegated to being `just another guy. And I didnt want to end my career like that.The Bills were the only team that showed any real interest in signing him last spring.In retrospect, Alexander cant think of a better fit, noting few expected anything of him or the Bills, who are in the midst of a 16-season playoff drought.Nobodys thinking we can do it.

Robert Siatka (* 20. Juni 1934 in Le Martinet, Département Gard) ist ein ehemaliger französischer Fußballspieler polnischer Abstammung.

Die Vereinskarriere
Robert Siatka kam, gerade 19-jährig, zu Beginn der Spielzeit 1953/54 vom unterklassigen Alès Olympique zu Stade de Reims, das wenige Wochen zuvor Triumph und Trauer gleichermaßen gekostet hatte: dem Gewinn der zweiten französischen Meisterschaft und anschließend der Coupe Latine war der grauenvolle Unfalltod des jungen Francis Méano gefolgt.
Diese Situation erleichterte dem Neuling, der in einem Bergdorf in den südlichen Cevennen aufgewachsen war, das Einleben in einer sportlich und atmosphärisch ungewohnten Umgebung nicht gerade, so dass er in seiner ersten Saison in der Division 1 lediglich sporadisch eingesetzt wurde.
1954 allerdings verließ das Reimser Urgestein Roger Marche den Verein, und Trainer Batteux bestimmte Siatka zu dessen Nachfolger auf der linken Verteidigerposition – und ein Jahr später gewann der immer noch junge Spieler seinen ersten Meistertitel.

Im Jahr darauf lief es nicht ganz so "rund" für ihn: er bestritt nur die Hälfte der Saisonspiele, weil er wegen seines Militärdienstes nicht regelmäßig zur Verfügung stand und sich zudem mit Raymond Cicci, Raoul Giraudo und Simon Zimny um nur drei vakante Plätze in der Defensive streiten musste (das "Reimser Denkmal" Robert Jonquet und Penverne waren bei Trainer Batteux gesetzt). Aber am Ende war es Siatka, der im wichtigsten Saisonspiel der Rémois einen dieser Plätze ergatterte: aufgrund einer Verletzung Ciccis stand er bei der allerersten Austragung des Europapokals der Landesmeister im Finale. Stade de Reims verlor am 13. Juni 1956 zwar mit 3:4 gegen Real Madrid, aber für den 21-jährigen blieb es ein Höhepunkt in seiner an Erfolgen alles andere als armen Karriere.

Endgültig bei Stade durchsetzen – und das dann für die nächsten sechs Jahre – konnte sich Robert Siatka, der 1957 in Argentinien mit der französischen Auswahl Militärweltmeister geworden war, in der Spielzeit 1957/58, an deren Ende er erneut Landesmeister, dazu erstmals auch Pokalsieger wurde. Dabei kamen ihm Ausdauer (den Spitznamen "le cheval [dt. "das Pferd"] trug er nicht nur wegen seines Laufstils) und Vielseitigkeit zugute: normalerweise auf der linken Seite (als Verteidiger oder Außenläufer) zuhause, übernahm er nach Penvernes Abschied (1959) problemlos dessen rechte Läuferposition, ersetzte ab 1960 Jonquet als Mittelläufer, räumte 1962 diesen Platz für Kaelbel und spielte wieder auf der rechten Seite – und erledigte die jeweiligen Aufgaben höchst zuverlässig. Als Reims allerdings 1959 zum zweiten Mal im Europapokalendspiel stand, verhinderte eine Verletzung seinen erneuten Einsatz. Dafür gewann er 1960 und 1962 zwei weitere französische Meistertitel.

1963 verließ Albert Batteux die Rot-Weißen nach einer letzten Vizemeisterschaft in der Division 1 – und der neue Trainer, Camille Cottin, setzte Siatka nur noch in zwei Punktspielen ein. Am Ende der Saison 1963/64 stieg Reims in die 2. Liga ab und der Mann aus dem Languedoc wechselte vom französischen "Flaggschiff" der 50er zu dem der 60er Jahre: keine 12 Monate später gewann le cheval mit dem FC Nantes seinen fünften Meistertitel und beendete anschließend seine erfolgreiche Laufbahn.

Stationen
Alès Olympique (bis 1953)
Stade de Reims (1953–1964)
FC Nantes (1964/65)

Der Nationalspieler
Im Juli 1960 bestritt Robert Siatka sein einziges Länderspiel für die Équipe Tricolore (0:2 gegen die CSSR im Spiel um Platz Drei bei der ersten Europameisterschaft).

Leben nach der Zeit als Spieler
Später hat Siatka als Trainer bei unterklassigen Vereinen (Olympique Avignon 1968–1970, FC Bourges 1970–1972 und 1973/74) gearbeitet. Er gehört dem Verein der Ehemaligen von Stade Reims an und hat Ende Mai 2012 im Stade Auguste-Delaune – zusammen mit seinen ehemaligen Mannschaftskameraden Piantoni, Fontaine, Colonna und Muller – als Ehrengast des Landesverbandes den symbolischen Anstoß zu einem Länderspiel der A-Nationalmannschaft ausgeführt.

It's June, and Hanover is thinking Christmas: Linked in with neat York County history stuff, June 27, 2012
Neat stuff, below: James Smith's grave/The Oaks photos/Susquehanna Trail's dangers
Remember the Little Courthouse that stood on York's Square for years? That courthouse stands far from the square today. But Hanover has a counterpart, and it comes out every year, at Christmas. Santa's Cabin in Hanover, seen here in its off-season home on the borough's maintenance grounds, will be repaired for a special birthday. It will be 75 years old this year. The Hanover Evening Sun tells all about efforts to spruce up Santa's longtime Hanover home. Santa's Cabin even has its own Facebook Page. Also of interest: Where is the Little Courthouse, the old State House, that stood in York's square for years?
Neat stuff from all over … .
York Town Square readers learned recently about the reading of the Declaration of Independence at signer James Smith's gravesite.
Turns out that history enthusiasts in another Pennsylvania town will hear a reading of the Declaration.
"I thought some of your readers might be interested in another Declaration of Independence reading, this one in Berks County, at Hopewell Furnace, which helped provide iron for the cannons used in the Revolutionary War," Evan Brandt, of The Mercury in Pottstown, wrote. Check out: Declaration of Independence, Old School.
And while on Evan's Digital Notebook blog ('All the news that doesn't fit in print'), noodle around in there. His posts often touch on the rich history of that area.
Looking for photos: Mae Duncan, past president of the Manchester Township Historical Society, is looking for photographs of White Oak Park, the park and old teen hangout that was located in the vicinity of the Masonic Lodge on North George Street.
"We are in the process of creating a 2013 calendar featuring township sites of historical interest. We would like to highlight White Oak Park one month, but information is not easily uncovered. I believe you have featured this park and it's successor 'The Oaks' in your column in recent years. Could you help us by sharing some pictures and a brief history? You can contact me at Maeduncan@comcast.net."
I sent her a list of yorktownsquare.com posts exploring The Oaks, with the explanation that photographs of the landmark are rare. Some of the posts bear photos, and they're the best that can be found. We put out a call for photos a couple years ago to help organizers of a reunion of The Oaks.
May Mae's call will prompt some of our readers come forward and help.
Capturing the Battle of Hanover: A Hanover native, a week before the Battle of Hanover's 149th anniversary, is calling for a mural to mark this significant Civil War cavalry clash. Check out this piece in the Hanover Evening Sun.
Forum of the day: The intersection of Route 216 and the Susquehanna Trail in Springfield Township has been targeted as dangerous. The Trail, both south and north of York, has been considered a safety problem for years. What's your view of the Susquehanna Trail? Do you avoid driving on it, when possible? Please comment below. Background: Beauty of Susquehanna Trail shrouds its dangers.

Freistadt is a small town in Upper Austria in the Mühlviertel region. Freistadt was an old medieval town that separated the Habsburg land from the Bohemian land. Its history dates back to the Babenberger family who ruled Austria before the Habsburgs.
The fortifications, the double exterior and interior walls, the moats, towers and gates that surrounded the old town, all built between 1363 and 1393, still exists today. Due to its strategic position, the welfare of the city increased very much because any merchant who wanted to cross the city, had to pay a fee.
The main entrance to the Old Town of Freistadt is via the Linzertor that is 28 meters high. On its surface can still be seen the areas where the drawbridge was hanging. In the central square of Freistadt are 24 buildings protected as historical monuments, including the Old Tower or the Town Hall (Alter Rathausturm) built in Renaissance style. It is very robust because it is part of the city wall. The Parish Church of St. Catherine is a beautiful attraction, where you can especially admire vaulted roof with interlaced ribs and the 67 meters high baroque tower. Beyond the Böhmertor (Bohemian Gate), among old houses and public buildings, there is another noteworthy building, the St. Mary Church (Liebfrauenkirche)from the 15th century with impressive Gothic stained glass, called "pilasters of Light".
In the northeast corner of the market, a gate with a beautiful Gothic arch leads to Schloss Freistadt (Freistadt Castle) from the 14th century, that was serving as a substitute for the old castle. The 50 meters high Dungeon now houses the Mühlviertler Schlossmuseum, a local museum where you can admire artifacts related to the history of the land, pottery and handicrafts, and sometimes photography and painting exhibitions. In the former chapel of the castle is a large collection of verre églomisé (glass decorated with an etched gold layer).
Other sights worth visiting in Freistadt include the Scheiblingsturm, a tower built to protect the water flowing within the city from a pond, the Bürgerkorpsturm founded in 1777 bearing the name of an association formed by citizens in Freistadt for the protection of the city that still exists. The Dechanthofturm is a tower which was built for protection and is one of the most picturesque parts of the city including the "Dechanthof" which together with the tower is an impressive Baroque building. The Salzhof is the oldest building in town its name representing the permission to introduce and sell the salt in the Middle Ages.
