Ву́ковар () — город в Хорватии, в восточной части страны, на реке Дунай. Второй по величине город (после города Винковци) в  жупании. Население — 27 683 человек (2011).

Общие сведения
Вуковар — крупнейший хорватский город и порт на Дунае. Он расположен на высоте 108 м в 20 километрах к востоку от города Винковци и в 36 км к юго-востоку от Осиека. Через город проходит автомобильное шоссе Осиек — Вуковар — Илок и железнодорожная ветка Вуковар — Винковци.

Основу экономики города составляют пищевая и текстильная промышленность.

История

Древнее время
Поселение на месте нынешнего Вуковара возникло в древние времена. Во времена Римской империи оно называлось Илеа. После появления в посавском регионе славянских племён в VII веке город начал сильно расти и развиваться. В IX веке город входил в состав Блатенского княжества. Название Вуковар город получил по имени реки Вука, впадающей в этом месте в Дунай, а название реки, скорее всего, происходит от хорватского и сербского «вук» — волк. Вар (Vár) в переводе с венгерского означает замок. Права города Вуковар получил в 1231 г.

Средневековье
В 1526 г. он был оккупирован турками, освобождён в 1687 г., после чего стал собственностью князей из рода Элтц.

XX век
Во время Балканской войны, в 1912 году, 17 граждан Вуковара вступили добровольцами в Македоно-одринское ополчение.

В 1920 г. город вошёл в состав Королевства Сербов, Хорватов и Словенцев, впоследствии Югославии. С 1991 г. — в составе независимой Хорватии.

Эпоха югославских войн

При распаде Югославии первые инциденты в Вуковаре произошли весной 1991 года. В частности, группа хорватов под руководством Гойко Шушака обстреляла Борово-Село близ города, выпустив по нему три ракеты. Это вынудило местных сербов создать отряд самообороны. В начале мая произошёл инцидент в Борово-Селе, когда группа хорватских полицейских, пытавшаяся установить хорватский флаг на местном административном здании, была взята в плен сербами. На следующий день произошёл масштабный бой за село между хорватской полицией и сербским ополчением, прекратившийся после вмешательства югославской армии. По мнению ряда исследователей, в этот же период было принято решение об этнических чистках сербского населения в городе. В ходе войны в Хорватии, которая началась сразу после провозглашения её независимости в конце того же 1991 года, части Хорватской национальной гвардии и ХОСа провели серию убийств гражданского сербского населения, а трупы бросали в Дунай. Точное число погибших неизвестно, несколько десятков трупов были выловлены в реке уже на территории Сербии и опознаны. Всего из Дуная было выловлено 13 трупов. Также оказывалось давление с целью принуждения сербов покинуть город. В результате этого летом 1991 года город покинуло 13 734 серба и югослава. Следующим шагом хорватских сил в городе стала осада местного гарнизона югославской народной армии (ЮНА). Федеральная армия, состоявшая к тому времени главным образом из сербов из-за массового дезертирства представителей других национальностей, при поддержке местных сербских добровольческих военных формирований и ополченцев начали операцию по деблокаде гарнизона, которая переросла в осаду самого Вуковара. Несмотря на многократное превосходство сербов в живой силе и подавляющее преимущество в тяжёлой технике и вооружениях, город пал только через 3 месяца 18 ноября, при этом в ходе боёв он был практически полностью разрушен. 18—21 ноября недалеко от города была произведена массовая казнь хорватских военнопленных. Оценки понесённых сторонами потерь значительно варьируются и составляют около тысячи убитых с каждой стороны. Несмотря на итоговое падение города, оборона Вуковара сыграла решающее значение в обороне хорватами Восточной Славонии. Битва вызвала патриотический подъём в Хорватии, в настоящее время почти в каждом хорватском городе есть улица, названная в его честь, а город стали называть «хорватским Сталинградом».

Вуковар был столицей Сербской Автономной Области Восточная Славония, Баранья и Западный Срем и оставался под сербским контролем, несербское население в ходе этнических чисток было изгнано. После дипломатических переговоров и учреждения с 1996 года Временной администрации ООН для Восточной Славонии город был мирно реинтегрирован в состав Хорватии в 1998 году, тогда же начался процесс восстановления города и возвращения беженцев. После интеграции города в состав Хорватии из него и окрестностей сначала произошёл очередной отток, а затем возврат сербского населения, которое вновь составило около трети от всех жителей.

Восстановление города продолжается.

Демография

В окрестностях города исторически проживало смешанное сербско-хорватское население. По данным 1991 г. 43 % населения составляли хорваты, 37 % — сербы. В ходе войны и этнических чисток из города бежали почти все хорваты и многие сербы. Часть из них не вернулась в город после окончания войны в 1998 г., осев в других частях Хорватии и Сербии, а также эмигрировав за границу. По данным переписи 2001 г. хорваты составляли 57,5 % и сербы — 32,9 % населения. Суммарная численность населения города уменьшилась с 44 639 человек (1991 г.) до 31 670 (2001 г.). По данным переписи 2011 г., население города сократилось до 27683 человек. Хорваты составляют 57,3 % и сербы — 34,9 % населения.

Christians and Halloween—Fright, Flight, or Fight?
Happy Halloween? Or wait… should I be wishing you a Happy Halloween? I'm a Christian and a pastor, after all.
So, I'll admit it, when it comes to major festivities like Christmas or Halloween, we Christians have had our hang-ups and complaints, and Halloween is no exception to the rule.
Because I like learning about this kind of thing and then writing on it, I did some research into the origins and evolution of the October 31 festivity we have come to know as Halloween. I wanted to know where it comes from. And I was especially curious about what kind of connections we Christians have to it, since it seems to evoke visceral, cheerful, or nonchalant responses. My findings were quite fascinating and varied!
So the first thing I learned is that the origins of Halloween are pretty complex, funkier than a witch's brew. (Sorry, I couldn't resist.) Seriously, it's a strange synergy of ancient Celtic, Christian, and even Germanic traditions, ginned up in the last nearly 100 years by our American retail and entertainment industries.
Samhain has its roots in the end of harvest celebrations around the world, by many different names. On the agricultural calendar it marks the time before the frost when anything in the fields were rendered dead. the dying of the crop- a sacrifice as it were- makes the fields fertile for buried seeds that bring the promise of a new crop to come in the spring- the rebirth. Because of the shorter days and less sunlight, the gate or veil between the living and dead is so thin.
So there it is. Samhain is an end-of-the-harvest celebration and an acknowledgment of the transition from the life of summer to the sleep of winter. This gave rise to the belief that on Samhain, the veil between the living and the dead was particularly thin, which meant that our ancestors along with good and evil spirits would come to visit the living.
Bonfires were lit and turnips were carved into faces to ward off any evil. People would go out mumming– a mix of caroling and gift giving/receiving, disguised, to celebrate the visit of the dead to the living, while attempting to ward off evil spirits. Great feasts were held to welcome the visitation of the dead with the living.
From this you can see some of the early influences of Samhain still at work today– Halloween bonfires, pumpkin carvings, costumes and mask, parties and feasts, trick or treating, and harvest festivals.
But… that's only half the story.
In the 9th Century, Pope Gregory IV took the May 13 "St. Mary and All the Martyrs" celebration (which was itself an approbation of a Roman holiday commemorating the dead) and placed it on November 1, calling it "All Hallow's Day." All Hallow's, later called All Saint's has taken on many meanings through the years, but largely, it is a time to remember and commemorate the saints of God who have gone on before us and to celebrate our ongoing connection and communion with them, as they surround us in the heavens. We give thanks for them, look to their example, and look forward to sharing in their resurrection from the dead with Jesus Christ, joining together in the New Heaven and New Earth at the end of all time.
Major Catholic feast days were always preceded by a day of preparation- an Eve. That made an All Hallow's Eve on October 31. Since many of our Halloween traditions came to America from the Irish and Scots, All Hallow's "Even" ("even" is the Scottish word for Eve) came with them. "Even" was routinely contracted to "E'en". Over the years, All Hallow's E'en was shortened to Hallow'een and eventually shortened again to our modern day Halloween.
Put all of that together, and as I mentioned earlier, the Halloween of today is a very odd mix of old pagan and Christian traditions, greatly expanded by American commercialism, leaving these pagan and Christian traditions weaved together into this strange– and at times– uncomfortable hodgepodge of culture and religion. Of course, today, most people, even many Christians, are unaware of the Christian roots of Halloween.
Community. This is the one night of the year that kids happily go from door to door collecting candy from neighbors they might not otherwise talk to. People gather together for parties, community bonfires, and harvest celebrations. I see in all this our ongoing need for connection with our neighbors.
A festive burlesque of death, evil, and the things that frighten us. Why do we go after all this stuff? Why so many ghosts, vampires, zombies, witches, and tombstones? I think it's our attempt to laugh at and even mock the things we fear the most. Death, evil, and our shadows lurk in the outer wings of our lives. At least we like to keep them there as long as we can. But once in a while, we feel an innate need to face our fears and shadows and to parody, mock, and play with them. It seems to me that Halloween has become a major vehicle folks use to do that very thing.
An embrace of the changing seasons. This time of year is an ingathering time– something we felt much more profoundly when more of us lived agrarian lives. It's a time to say goodbye to the life, light, and warmth of summer and to greet the deep, dark, cold sleep of winter. Perhaps this moves us to think of our own lives, specifically how truly thin the veil is between this life, death, and the next life.
I think we Christians can embrace Halloween in a whole new way, very intentionally, without running from it or heedlessly partaking in it without any consideration to our beliefs and unique witness.
First, we must share and live out the truth that through every season of our lives, God is faithful. It's just a matter of fully embracing the season we are in and trusting that God is fully present in that season (Ecclesiastes 3:1-15). This includes, of course, the passing of summer and our transition into winter, in nature and over the course of our human lives, too.
Second, we can join in the community! Halloween stuff is fun. It's a special time that people get together, enjoy one another, and hopefully build relationships. It's within these human connections that the good news of Jesus is shared, both by our gracious speech and the good news of our lives, filled with the goodness of Christ.
Third, we do indeed have good news to share. Death and evil are defeated foes! Through Christ's sacrificial love on the cross, we have the freedom to resist evil and to move through death into resurrection. Halloween may be one day of the year to laugh off evil and death. But every day we Christians all over the globe openly defy the powers of evil and death through the unstoppable power of God's Holy Spirit within us and in the world. This segues very nicely into the celebration of All Saints, after the revelry of Halloween is over and packed up. There are so many creative ways to share this awesome good news with an anxious, bitterly divided world. How could we Christians do that, authentically and creatively, without being obnoxiously preachy, during this time of year?
So… Happy Halloween! See the presence and good news of God, even within the strange, growing darkness of the day. It's the kind of hope and peace that will carry us through all the seasons of our lives.

Really, really enjoyed this! Thanks!
Thank you, Carol!! Coming from you, that means a lot to me.
You did not mention the Day of the Dead, celebrated in Latin American culture, that ties in very closely with what you are discussing here. Might expand your scope….

Traditional・Public place・Restaurant・Brest・94
Architect: Maksim Voronovich, Anna Kostina
Project: Feb. 2015, Area: 150 m²
Performing interior design for this bar, we had to work on interesting premises located on two floors in the building, which belongs to the historical building in Brest, Soviet Str.
Before the interior project was completed, a number of works were carried out to reconstruct the building. We added the area previously leading from the street to the yard to the premise on the first floor. As a result, the brick vaults, which served as overlapping over this site, got inside the building. The connection between the rooms was realized through the openings, dismantled in the once external wall. Piers between new openings are reinforced with metal corners and channels. A one-story volume for the kitchen was built from the courtyard to the building, on the flat roof. There will be a terrace with an entrance for visitors from the second floor in the future.
A zest of the establishment is a bar with an arched construction, made of solid wood, with mirrors and shelves for alcohol. Crystal chandeliers and mirror insets on the ceiling, located along the entrance axis, add solemnity to the room.
The section of the wall along the staircase, once built of brick and restored, organically combines with a new finish - wooden buazeri and wallpaper. Dark wallpaper brings dramatic, but the abundance of wood leaves a feeling of coziness. The white marble countertop of the bar and white facet tiles refresh the interior. The walls are decorated with black and white photographs in laconic, but spectacular frames.
There is a shelf for decoration under the brick arches along the wall with faceted tile. 5 tables with deliberately rough countertops, decorated with pairs of white linen tracks was joined. Suspensions with adjustable intensity of light make the meal more pleasant. One of the landing groups, furthest from the window, has the possibility of visual isolation with the help of curtains - for special guests.

KSF "Puppet Up! Uncensored"
DisneyFunGuy
Seriously? The CMS Theatre is a large venue to put on a lavish Halloween stage show with dancers & singers, and we get this crap, "Puppet Up! Uncensored?" Apparently, Knott's didn't take notes on last years yawn fest of a show. After seeing the highly popular, and very entertaining, Elvira show in 2017, we've been subjected to really bad entertainment in this theatre. This puppet show looks stupid, pointless and irritating. It has nothing to do with Halloween, and has no entertainment value.
Knott's gives us an amazing stage show during the Boysenberry Festival, and equally awesome show during the Summer with, "Beach Blanket Beagle". Why do they have to ruin it during the Halloween season?
Yes, I know there's more to KSF than just what's shown in the CMS Theatre, but being a huge fan of musical theatre, I expect better! Needless to say, I'll save money this year by not getting a KSF season pass. Infact, I have no desire to go this year at all. Sad, because Halloween season is my favorite time of the year!! So, is there anyone else who thinks this puppet show is a lame concept inside the CMS Theatre?
At least I have the Christmas season to look forward to with, "Snoopy on Ice" and the stage show, "It's The Merriest Christmas Show Ever, Charlie Brown!"

Calling it stupid, pointless, irritating and saying it has no entertainment value is a bit much without having seen it. I have heard good things about the show in the past and it has the Henson name attached to it so I am willing to give it a shot.
We were very lucky to have Elvira for as many years as we did. There will always be ebbs and flows when it comes to finding what is right for the entertainment element of events like this.
All in all, Knott's Scary Farm is still one of the best bang for your buck Halloween events in Southern California in my opinion. Hopefully you still manage to have a good time this season.

I appreciate and respect your feedback, thank you. However, I still hold true to my thoughts on, "Puppet Up! Uncensored". I, along with 2 other friends of mine, were watching the LIVE streaming of the KSF event held on 8/29. And at one point, they showed a preview of "Puppet Up", and it wasn't funny! We all agreed how stupid, pointless and irritating it was. So sitting through an entire show of that would be a waste of time. If you're going to have a show of this caliber, it should be in a smaller venue, where it's more intimate with the audience. I still believe the size of the CMS Theatre deserves to have a show of higher expectations with a lavish Halloween stage production. They certainly do it during the Summer and Christmas season, so I don't understand why they can't come up with something amazing and entertaining during the Haunt event?
I do enjoy the mazes and other elements of KSF, that's for sure. But just like with the Summer and Christmas seasons, my main reason to go is because of the stage and ice shows they do. The same is true when I go to Disneyland and Universal Studios, it's all about the entertainment they provide.
So sadly, this "Puppet Up" is not worthy enough to be shown in the CMS Theatre. And just like last year inside that theatre, Knott's went cheap again.
But hey, this is just my humble opinion.
I was at the event, so I saw the preview as well. The bottom line is that if you aren't a fan of improvisational shows, this won't be for you.
The neat thing about this show in my opinion is the fact that you are seeing beyond what the camera sees. It's unique in that you get to see how the performers of this type of show work. Having the Henson name attached adds some weight to it as well. I still am going to disagree about it being "stupid, pointless and irritating" because I haven't seen it yet.

The Puppet Up part is at 26:25 and goes on for about ten minutes (video should be cued to the start). A puppeteer on stage introduces it, followed by a video from Brian Henson (Jim's son, I assume), then puppeteers improv live on-stage.

Comedy, Improv, scary farm. I LOVE IT! Last time I saw the elvira show and was pretty bored with it. Happy to have this one.

I'm with DFG on this one; it looks pretty bad. I'll probably skip it unless I've done everything else a couple times.

At least it will be easy to find a seat.

LOL...and how sad is that? And if it's anything like last years show, people will be walking out of it...like I did. BORING!
Hey, it could be "So bad, it's good!" A lot of people used to say that about Elvira.
Son of Jim Henson helped make that new R-rated muppet (sorry puppet) movie with a great cast including Melissa McCarthy, so that's a bad sign. I was like DisneyFunGuy in the first post on this tread--I hated that movie so much I never even saw it.
Actually I saw the reviews for it. It Micechatters love this new Knott's show I'll see it.
Speaking of big Knott's shows, thank you Knott's for having multiple shows!
Universal's Hollywood Horror Nights just has one (dance) show that is impressive, but not Halloweeny enough. WEAK.
And while I'm blabbing away, remember how excellent Ed Alonzo was his first year, then how he phoned it in with a really weak show in his next and (thankfully) last show at Scary Farm the next year. That was weird.
Maybe Knott's should make The Hanging an even bigger budget show and have it in the big theater!
C & D list celebrities might even volunteer to be killed on different nights! They've been showing up to accept Razzie awards for years.
Maybe even actual minor & former politicians & athletes would volunteer.
Knott's really should hire me.
Put me in the camp of "NOPE!". Seems like a tremendous waste of space to have this in the CMS theatre, and a slap in the face to the theatre at that.
To me, this would be more appropriate at the smaller Calico stage...even then I still wouldn't watch it.
Note to self: take screenshots of this thread
and if this show is the greatest thing in the history of entertainment, kid those who were certain it would stink.
HaHaHa!! Maybe you'll be right, but I highly doubt it. At least with the Elvira show it had a Halloween feel to it. But then again, I'm a huge fan of hers! She made KSF the mere reason I went all the time!

He would be fine in a smaller theatre, but again, when it comes to the CMS Theatre, there needs to be a full stage production. Much like when they have "Beach Blanket Beagle", or any of their ice shows. That theatre is not meant for some lame puppet show. (rolling my eyes)
HaHaHa...you are really wanting this puppet show to be the "greatest thing in history", but I can tell you that won't happen. But you enjoy!!
I am in the "no" camp as well after seeing it at the preview event. I am looking forward to the magicians at Bird Cage though. Last year that was so fun!
Well, how was it? Anyone?


Dazzling Cafe, originated from Taiwan, is actually a side business from their accessories brand Dazzling. They first open their door in Taiwan in year 2010 and had been very popular and are most well known for their interesting interior design and signature honey toast. 18 April 2015 is their soft opening at the newly opened Capitol Piazza opposite City Hall MRT. As expected, the queue is already crazy and upon leaving the cafe, all queue numbers have already been taken up, which likely means that it's already full house till closing time.
Unlike the dish name suggest, the shaved truffle and oil taste are actually more subtle than expected, just adding the right amount of fragrance but not dominating the whole dish.
I like the garlicky cream sauce and the cheese fragrance of the risotto but i think it may be a little salty for some. The rice grain is soft on the outside and al dente on the inside, which makes the overall texture enjoyable.
Upon ordering the honey toast, you need to state the preference for a soft, normal or crispy toast. I tried the normal version and it's already rather crispy so i don't think I need to try their crispy version cus it's probably going to be biscuit crispy.
To be honest, i think the toast bread is a little dry, but accompanying it with the coconut ice cream made up for it. Their coconut ice cream is very creamy and is overflowing with coconut fragrance. Sadly, the fresh Mango and Mango custard didn't manage to play a major role in enhancing the bread and it's like a different entity altogether.
I think Dazzling Cafe can be more daring with the portion of butter. Overall, i think this coconut honey toast is very pretty, definitely an instagram-like magnet but doesn't exactly justify it's price tag.
During my visit, there are multiple episodes of mismanagement of order which it took 40 minutes for my risotto to arrive and my toasts order were forgotten until I asked about it at the 80th minute of waiting.
Then, the coconut honey toast arrived shortly but i waited for another 15 minutes for the hazelnut toast before approaching the waitress again just to be told that my hazelnut toast was served wrongly to another table upon checking.
Time that i placed my order – 2.18pm. The Hazelnut Chocolate Honey Toast order was cancelled and i was given a 20% discount.
All in all now I had waited for 95 minutes and was told that I have to wait for another 30 minutes if I still want my hazelnut toast. As much as I understand that it's their first day of operation, i was rather upset that I need to wait for a total of 125 minutes for a piece of toast so i cancelled the most anticipated dish that I ordered.
The crowd is overwhelming so i can understand when the waitress told me that each honey toast need 40 minutes of preparation but not 1 hour and 20 minutes for my coconut toast and definitely not 2 hours and 5 minutes for the hazelnut toast. Let's hope that Dazzling Cafe can quickly sort this out as it's a big minus to the overall dining experience, despite giving me a 20% discount, and we left the restaurant still hungry.
I arrived excited but left disappointed due to the series of unfortunate events. However, putting that aside, the risotto that I had excites me a little more than expected. However, judging based on the coconut mango honey toast, it fell short of my expectation and seems like i will still continue my wait for the best Shibuya Honey Toast in Singapore.
If you ask me, understanding Singaporean's craze for pretty food and the willingness to queue, it's probably not the best time to visit now. But I have to agree that their Honey Toast is really skillfully constructed and they score a very high point in presentation. For the food photo fanatics, Dazzling Cafe is a place not to be missed. For the rest, I suggest to wait for a couple of weeks to avoid unecessary waiting for a "not bad" meal in this cafe.
Hoshino Coffee opened it's first shop at Japan in March 2011 and had been widely popular since then. Till date, they had expanded to more than a hundred shops in Japan. Their first overseas franchise store opened it's door for business in Singapore at year 2012. Among the restaurants at Plaza Singapura, Hoshino Coffee has one of the longest queues and is always full house during meal time. Their dessert stood out among the menus and the two most popular desserts are the souffle and the french toast. I visited Hoshino a couple of times and here is my consolidated review.
As the name suggest, the linguine is served in a creamy lobster bisque base with added cheese, topped with fat prawns and small cubes of mushroom. The tomato base sauce is not too heavy as I thought it and has a sweet and light crustacean aftertaste. They are quite generous with the portion of pasta, as well as the bisque. Some tomato base pasta is good initially but it kind of get too cloying overtime.
For Hoshino's lobster bisque paste, the flavour is just right and despite the big portion, i find that finishing the whole portion is not a difficult task. This dish is not fantastic, but not bad. At least it's worth my second try.
Among the limited choice of main courses, this baked curry rice is my favourite. Nothing beats a portion of rice, baked in Japanese curry meat sauce, and accompanied by molten egg yolk and melted cheese.
For some, this combination may be a little too much but for people like me who very much has a liking in strong flavour, i enjoyed this very much.
This curry is a little spicier than a typical sweet Japanese curry and i love the rich aromatic curry fragrance. I think the right way to enjoy this is to stir in the egg yolk and melted cheese within the hot pan and gobble it together with the curry infused rice. Shiok.
A souffle is a lightly baked cake that is made up of two main ingredients – eggs and flour. The puffed up cake is served fresh from oven and therefore a minimum waiting time of 15 minutes is required. I think that the soft fluffy texture is excellent but taste wise, it is like a less sweet version of our Singapore's steamed sponge cake (鸡蛋糕).
I'm not saying it's a bad thing to taste like steamed sponge cake but it's just that the price tag is a little too high for such quality. Apart from the cake, the milky soft serve is much to my delight and goes perfectly with the lightly sweetened cake. The texture of this souffle is a 9/10 but taste wise is only a 6/10 in my opinion.
This french toast doesn't come with a cheap price tag either, but i had returned multiple times to Hoshino just for this french toast. They serve their french toast in small rectangular blocks of thicker-than-usual toast and is wrapped by a layer of sweet egg coating. Unlike our Singapore's version which is normally pan fried, Hoshino's version is toasted and there's almost zero or very little presence of grease.
The homemade whipped cream is unlike those typical whipped cream that is out in the market. The texture is very compact, with very little air folded in and it melts in your mouth. It's very lightly sweetened and is filled with milk and butter fragrance. This is my regular order when i visit Hoshino.
Although Hoshino doesn't has the most exciting and most innovative menu, their main courses that I had are rather fine and I consider it as one of the better restaurants at Plaza Singapura in term of taste. However, if the pricing is taken into consideration, some people may think that it's not exactly worth it because for a similar price, we can find something better elsewhere.
For me, it's good enough, and the location is rather convenient for me, and thus the multiple visits. However, most of the time, I will just have a cup of caffe latte and their french toast. i will only occasionally order their main course when I'm feeling a little richer.
I also had their Carbonara before. At $14.00, they give you five slices of bacon. It's true that the main focus should be on cheese and egg sauce (which it is indeed not bad), but five slices of bacon seriously?
Nunsongyee (snowflake) is a relatively new Korean dessert cafe that is situated in one of the really ulu location, among the landed properties at the Serangoon Gardens vacinity. They specialise in authentic Korean dessert, mainly Bingsu, and things like toast and even spicy rice cake. It was quite empty at 11.30 am and i took this opportunity to have a short conversation with the young Korean lady boss.
Miss Eun Jin, the lady boss, quits her job in Singapore after two years and decided to open a cafe selling her country's most popular dessert – Bingsu. She is confident that Singaporeans, that are well known for the love for food, will embrace this dessert.
She also explained between lower rental, larger shop area and convenient location, she chose the first two. She does not want to sacrifice the larger floor area, which equates to her customer's comfort, in exchange for a convenient location in town.
Bingsu, the signature dish of Nunsongyee, is currently the most popular dessert in South Korea. This cafe is best known for it's unique Injeomi Bingsu. Injeomi is basically sweet Korean rice cake (tteok) made by steaming and pounding and the end product is usually tossed in powdered coating that is made from dried beans, nuts or seeds.
It's something like our Muah Chee but they grind the powder really fine. I think the roasted soy bean and almond taste are the most evident and with added sugar. Don't judge the taste of this Injeomi Bingsu by it's appearance.
In my opinion, Nunsongyee's Injeomi Bingsu is really well done. Usually we don't associate cold dessert with powdered nuts or beans because the end product would be messy and lumpy. The saw-dust-like finely shaved milk ice and the powder mixed unexpectedly well and creates a blend of peanut-butter-like texture when consumed together. The sticky rice cake goes perfectly with the not overly sweet mixture and it completes the dish by adding a dimension of chewiness into the crunchy, ice sweet texture.
The Bingsu I had in Seoul also pales in comparison to this. And the secret to the great taste? Mother's love. No. Really. Miss Eun Jin's explaned that her mother personally selected these ingredients and sent it over from South Korea in order to preserve the authentic Korean taste.
If you like to have something that is less sinful, this premium strawberry Bingsu may be a good choice. Note that the premium is in term of ingredient but not such much about the taste.
Stacked with slices of fresh Korean Strawberry with crunchy red beans hidden beneath the shaved ice, it's topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Fans of Korean Strawberry will find this a delight. I find this especially enjoyable during a hot sunny afternoon (or probably lost your way while trying to look for this place).
In term of taste, I still prefer the Injeomi Bingsu because no matter how sweet a strawberry is, it unavoidable that it still has a tinge of sourness. But there's also a scoop of ice cream that made up for it, which is nice. For people who has a sweeter tooth, there is also a cup of condense milk blend provided. I poured everything in by the way.
This is also my favourite. At $12.90, it's actually kind of pricy for a serving of toast but i really love the taste. How should i describe this dish?
Imagine a generous serving of butter melted over two slices of thick crispy toast, with pieces of sweet chewy rice cake sandwiched between the toast, drizzled with honey and topped with a scoop of smooth creamy ice cream.
It reminds me of a less fluffy version of Shibuya Toast that i had in Bangkok, only not as thick. If you ask me, will i pay $12.90 for this toast on my next visit, I probably will say yes.
I thought Nunsongyee has a first mover advantage because Bingsu is not a craze in Singapore, yet. No matter the price, as long as taste is right, we Singaporeans are generally willing to spend a bit more and to travel abit more.
I previously had one Bingsu at a stall near Clarke Quay and it was a disappointment and too far off from the authentic taste. However it's a different story for Nunsongyee. It's very much similar to the ones i had in Seoul and i find comfort in having a good Bingsu without travelling to Seoul.
No doubt the price is to the higher side and it's not exactly a cheap dessert, i guess this is the premium price to pay if we want an imported authentic taste of Korean food. For me personally, I am quite certain that I will return to Nunsongyee.
Address: Siam Square Soi 5.
Simply go to Google Map and enter "Mango Tango Bangkok" and you will get the actual location. It is only a couple of minutes walk from Siam Station.
This place was recommended by my friend who happened to wander into this dessert place in Bangkok. Mango Tango, as the name suggest, they specialize in mango dessert. I visited their branch at Siam Square Soi 5 for the second time as I was bringing another friend to try, and it's already queuing before the shop opens at 11.30am.
There is this stall just beside Mango Tango that sells quite decent Thai Pandan pastries. I will mention more on this stall after the Conclusion section of Mango Tango.
The one thing that I don't like about this place is they have a rule of each person must order an individual dessert before you are allow a seat. This branch can only house only about twenty diners at a time.
They do have branch at other places. Visit their official website for more information.
This platter is like the McDonald's big breakfast of Tango Mango where you get to sample everything – fresh mango, mango ice cream, mango pudding and their sticky rice. For both times, the mangoes are really fresh and sweet. Oh by the way, the mango sticky rice is very so-so. Do consider if you want to order it. I ordered cus I thought it will make the photo looks more complete and nicer. LOL.
Mango Salsa is actually Mango pudding in fresh mango juice. The mango and pudding taste exactly like the Mango Tango with Sticky Rice dish. The main difference is the generous smooth fresh mango juice topped over the pudding less the ice-cream.
This is a cheaper version that only cost less than S$3.00. It's diced Mango in Milk Sago with less-generous portion of fresh Mango Juice.
I think the selling point of Mango Tango is the eatery is really clean, and apart from their fresh juicy mango, the variety of mango desserts may also be the reason for the good crowd. I thought their food is actually rather well done although part of the reason for the long queue might be due to the small seating capacity in the restaurant. Their pricing is also very decent for their quality mango.
In my opinion, Mango Tango dishes lack a wow factor. I am only saying this because i am comparing this with a Hong Kong Dessert Xu Liu Shan (许留山). Not sure if you had heard about it but Xu Liu Shan sells dessert that is very very similar to Mango Tango, but at a slightly higher price, but there is almost no queue in Hong Kong.
As such, queuing for this at Mango Tango makes me feel like it's not super worth it. But of course i am not at Hong Kong, so Mango Tango is good by itself in Bangkok.
Apart from the waiting time, i'm actually OK to pop by in the future. But if the queue is really long, then i probably get myself something else, like Afteryou Dessert at Siam Paragon or Mont Nom Sod at MBK.
While i was waiting in the queue at Mango Tango, i was attracted by this simple-looking stall that is selling something like Pandan Pancake in flower shape.
All cakes are freshly made on the spot and the piping hot pastry gives off a very aromatic Pandan taste. I remember it's about 30 baht for a box of eight. Mixture of different flavors is possible. Cheap and good!
After You Dessert Cafe apparently is the rising star of all dessert places in Bangkok. There is a legend that says 'you have never been to Bangkok until you tried Afteryou dessert'. I visited this place once previously but I thought this saying was too exaggerating but nevertheless, After You Dessert Cafe is worth the visit for their Signature Shibuya Honey Toast, for at least once.
Twice, I visited their Siam Paragon branch situated at the basement. It was rather early at about 10am so there is no crowd. Awesome. After You Dessert Cafe mainly sells sweet items like pancakes, waffles, ice-creams and toast etc. They only have a handful of savory items on their menu and one of them is the Grilled Ham Cheese Sandwich.
They have another branch at Thonglor area, that is just opposite to Roast Coffee & Eatery and Mr Jones' Orphanage. I didn't pay a visit to this branch as i was already too full after having brunch at Roast and dessert at Mr Jones' Orphanage. But one thing i am quite sure is, comparing to Siam Paragon's basement branch, food shots at this Thonglor branch should turn out better due to the natural lighting.
The whole idea about this Shibuya toast is actually very simple. This is not a sophisticated dish which requires long preparation time. I personally think that the reason for it's popularity may just be it's well toasted soft fluffy thick toast with melted butter evenly infused into every single slice of the toast.
After You Dessert Cafe then topped the toast with their fresh vanilla ice-cream and generally speaking, an additional scoop of Ice cream can almost never spoil a dessert. Complete this dish with honey syrup for those who have really sweet teeth. To be frank, this dish is definitely not out-of-this-world, but i would describe this dish as a 'very satisfying' dessert.
The formula to this dish is even simpler. If i am someone who love Nutella and Hazelnut, i will love this. After You Dessert Cafe provides a small tub of butter to be applied separately. I thought adding the butter is a good idea as sometimes it taste a little dry with just Nutella alone. I have no complain about the pancake. Soft, warm and fluffy.
Using the same thick toast as the Signature Shibuya Honey Toast, this savory fluffy toast can be an option for those who are not very into sweet stuff. For certain kind of toast, i prefer the toast to be very thin with a lot of fillings, but not for this Grilled Ham Cheese Sandwich. The bread itself is rather enjoyable with two layers of melted cheese and a layer of ham.
I think this is the other rare savory item in After You Dessert Cafe's Menu. I thought the french toast is OK. It's something that we can easily find in Singapore so nothing fantastic about this and can order something else on the menu.
Personally, i think that this place is not a die-die-must-go place but if i am at this area, specifically Siam area, i will make a point to visit After You Dessert Cafe just for their Shibuya toast. I really like the buttery taste of their toast that goes very well with vanilla ice cream.
For those who like an even stronger flavor, they also have Shibuya Chocolate Toast, Shibuya Nutella Toast and even Cheddar Cheese Shibuya Toast. You may want to give yourself a reason to pop by this cafe to see what is the big deal of these Shibuya Toast.
Mr Jones orphanage is located at the 'atas street' of Thonglor. You may have noticed that the address is exactly the same as Roast Coffee and Eatery. Yeap, this cosy little cafe is at level one of the SeenSpace, just below Roast Coffee & Eatery. I guess as a child everyone would had dreamt of such a place where there are endless candies, cakes, chocolate and ice cream. Mr Jones orphanage is exactly such a place, only that you need to pay for it. LOL.
I would have to say the selling point of this cafe is the design of their cafe instead of just food. Upon entering this "wonderland", on the left lies a kitchen that is literally full of pastries, with the ceiling decorated with a giant wooden clock.
In the middle, there is a long table arrangement that reminds me of of mini Harry Potter's Hogwarts dining hall.
On the right, it's labelled as "The Playground" where there is this large carousel-design dining table in the center. The area is the most well lit and if you want to get some good food shots, dining at this area will never go wrong.
However, I am most impressed by their attic dining area and this is where i choose to have my meal. There is a 'secret attic' that is leaded up by a flight of narrow wooden stairs. I have to bend my knees and lay low so that my head won't knock onto the ceiling while exploring the "secret hiding place". Low seating sofas and tables are placed at various corners of the attic with decorative items like toy soldiers, library books and plush toys are scattered all over the dimly lit attic, with no 'adult' (the waitress) looking at what you are doing.
It's like you had been transported out from Bangkok, and into a place that only exist in a story book.
As i reach there quite early at about 11 am, i had the whole attic to myself with the freedom to walk around, sleep flat on their sofa, or do anything you want. Best chill-out place ever.
Since I just had my breakfast at Roast Coffee and Eatery, I didn't get to try Mr Jones' main course and I only ordered their desserts. Mr Jones Orphanage do offer brunch menu like Egg Benedict, Sandwich or a full breakfast platter. But now the problem is, WHICH DESSERT SHOULD I ORDER?! There are a wide selection of desserts like Lemon Meringue, Passionfruit Sponge Cake, Rocky Road, Chocolate Fudge cake, Coconut Cake, Chocolate Ferraro, Oreo Pie, Berry Sponge and even M&M + Kit Kat cake, which they call it the "Kit Kat Monster".
In the end, i finally settle with their coconut cake at 100 baht (cus Thailand is famous for their coconut), Chocolate Ferraro at 110 baht and their Chocky Mud Pie (135 baht).
Their coconut cake is divided into four layers, first layer with the fresh coconut shavings, then the coconut cream, the sponge cake with a layer of fresh coconut meat sandwich between the sponge cake. I thought this is something that is not commonly found in Singapore. For those who like coconut, this is worth a try.
The staff recommended their Chocky Mud Pie and this pie was served piping hot from the oven. Nothing beats a molten chocolate center that goes with a mouthful of dark chocolate ice cream.
Mr Jones Orphanage has actually little main courses to offer therefore i would suggest having your breakfast at Roast Coffee and Eatery at level 2 and pop by to experience this cafe and to have desserts. Don't be fool by it's plain-looking main door.
I think it's worth the visit cus this is something that we don't have and will not have in Singapore. And apology if my photos focus a little too much on the interior design instead of the food, but that is because i really really like the interior of the cafe. Definitely an eye opener and a place not to be missed, especially if you are already at Thonglor area.
The nearest BTS station to Mr Jones Orphanage is Thonglor station and takes a 15 minutes walk. Direction is exactly as coming to Roast Coffee & Eatery. Taking a cab to this place will be much easier. If you choose to walk, you just need to walk on one straight road on Sukhumvit 55 and turn left into Akkhara Phat when you see a building call "Home Place".

On September 23, the Dominican Republic Constitutional Court made an interpretative ruling that shook the Hispaniola Island. A child born on Dominican soil without one parent of Dominican blood or foreign parents with legal residency is not a Dominican citizen. In 2004, the court held that "in transit" includes all persons without legal residency. Thus, parents considered "in transit" or illegal immigrants are not Dominican citizens, and the children born from these parents, dating back to 1929, cannot have Dominican citizenship.
The ruling effects all immigrants in the Dominican Republic, not just Haitians. However, at least eighty percent of Dominican immigrants are Haitian. It is no secret that Haitians are the predominate immigrants in the Dominican, which leads many spectators to believe the Dominican court targeted Haitians: a flashback to 1937, when Dictator Rafael Trujillo attempted to eliminate Haitians from the Dominican. Several reporters cite over 200,000 Haitians are stateless due to the ruling. Conversely, based on the numbers provided by the United States Dominican Embassy via the national civil registry, less than 20,000 Haitians are effected by the ruling; furthermore, they will not be stateless. A person is only stateless if no country will recognize and grant citizenship. Haiti's constitution has been interpreted to grant citizenship to those of Haitian blood regardless of where the person was born. Thus, Haitian immigrants will not be stateless.
Even though the ruling cannot be appealed, the Dominican government plans to establish a naturalization law. Moreover, Dominican President Danilo Medina announced a humanitarian approach will be applied, allowing eighteen months for all undocumented foreigners to register and prove eligibility for residency to avoid deportation.
Was the Dominican court wrong in its Constitutional ruling? Perhaps the ruling was more extreme than necessary, but a step to control immigration is necessary.
Rarely is birth on any country's soil alone enough to gain citizenship. The Dominican is no different. If an immigrant does not speak Spanish, work, own property or a home, the Dominican is less likely to grant citizenship to the immigrant. Citizenship is business. No business wants to employ or have clients that do not benefit the business. When a country has a say, the country wants the immigrants that benefit the country. A country, small like the Dominican, cannot progress if illegal immigrants that do not contribute to the economy are allowed citizenship.
Is it right to ostracize a third-world country for a ruling, which if ruled by a leading country, would receive little backlash? Perhaps, this is how the world's checks and balances function: never let a lower country make a move reserved for higher countries.
Due to the inaccuracies in information and range of predictions, it is clear that the Dominican government needs to release a statement—to explain the court's ruling and its effects. More likely than not the government is at a loss itself and cannot offer clarity. However, this is a time for the government to stand strong and make executive decisions. Is the ruling stripping immigrants of citizenship, if the immigrant was granted citizenship prior to the ruling? Is the ruling only effecting those who are not and have never been citizens—regardless of the individuals assumed citizenship? What actions can an immigrant take to gain citizenship or avoid deportation? Will a naturalization law be implemented before deportation occurs? The Dominican government cannot afford to remain silent much longer, it needs to stand up.

Indira Gandhi v. Raj Narain – A Critique on the Issue of Air Force dealt by the High Court of Allahabad
M. Akshayaa
Alliance School of Law, Alliance University, Bangaluru
Volume I, Issue III, 2018
The historical case of Indira Gandhi v Raj Narain gave rise to unprecedented happenings and ultimately led to declaration of emergency. The bare reading of the case makes it is very evident that the series of events which led to emergency was driven by thirst for power. The case dealt with lot of issues dealing with the violation of provisions of Representation of People Act, 1951. This article does not deal with the issues dealt by the Supreme Court but instead narrows the scope of the article to one of the issues dealt by J Sinha when the case was before the High Court. Thus, this article seeks to go in depth and analyse the issue of whether the procurement of Air Force Planes by her to reach election meetings in furtherance of her election prospects amounted to corrupt practice u/s 123(7) of the Representation of People Act, 1951.

Note:This is a finite sequence. The numbers given are all of the terms.
As Broll mentioned, they do agree to 24 terms, diverging at the 25th which would be 38 and then 83. Basically the above seems to be missing terms. Also note there are exactly 100 terms given.
Oh I think I got it.

Petoskey is a charming lakeside community with unmatched beauty and charm. It is known for its breathtaking views, Victorian architecture, historic Gaslight Shopping District, and Michigan's state stone, the Petoskey Stone.
Speaking of Petoskey Stones, the nearby villages of Alanson and Walloon Lake Village are just, well, a stone's throw away. Be sure to take the short trip from Petoskey to each while you're here. The rustic appeal of Alanson and the 100-ft. waters that make Walloon Lake a fisherman's delight will definitely add to your up north experience. Boaters especially like the Inland Waterway, the 38-mile long water trail that eventually leads all the way to Lake Huron.
Along with the spectacular views of crystal-blue Little Traverse Bay, one of the first things to catch your eye as you arrive in Petoskey is the elegant Victorian architecture in the homes and buildings. The Bay View community alone has more than 400 homes on the National Historic register. A walk through our neighborhoods and shopping districts is a return to a simpler, more refined time.

From browsing through the charming boutiques, to taking in live entertainment, to visiting intriguing museums and historical sites, it's all here waiting to be explored. A great way to see the area is on a bike. The Little Traverse Wheelway is a beautiful route that can be picked up in a number of place and goes all the way from Charlevoix to Harbor Springs. Separate trails will take you through the Bear River Recreational Valley and into Alanson – some of the routes are a part of the North Country Trail, which links seven states and covers 4,600 miles from New York to North Dakota.
In the winter, be sure to check out the Winter Sports Park that offers outdoor hockey, ice skating, and sledding in a lovely setting featuring a log warming house. And in February, weather permitting, the very unique Viewing of the Crucifix draws hundreds of people out onto Little Traverse Bay to see the 11-foot submerged crucifix.
There are plenty of "can't miss" attractions in Petoskey, too. Along with the Odawa Casino and Crooked Tree Arts Center, you can tour a chocolate factory, take a hot air balloon ride, and of course hit the pristine beaches in search of Petoskey stones.

Libertarian communism: an introduction
A short introduction to what we at libcom.org refer to as communism or libertarian communism, what it is and why we think it is a good idea.
This article in: Español | Français | Português | Türkçe | Nederlands | 中文
When we speak of communism we are talking about two things. Firstly as a way of organising society based on the principle of 'from each according to ability, to each according to need', and secondly as the real movement towards such a society in the world right now. Here we will address these, starting with the latter, the less well-known meaning.
The real movement
In our introduction to capitalism we describe the capitalist economy and point out how the needs of capital - for profit and accumulation - are opposed to our needs as working class people.
Employers try to cut wages, cut pensions, cut jobs, increase working hours, speed up work and damage the environment. And when we can, we resist because the conditions we live under in this economy push us into asserting our needs against capital.
So when we do this: when we cooperate, when we use direct action and solidarity to assert our needs, like when we organise strike action or work to rule against pay cuts or higher workloads, we begin to lay the foundations of a new type of society.
A society based on cooperation, solidarity and meeting human needs - a communist society.
Communism as a movement, therefore, is the ever-present trend of cooperation, mutual aid, direct action and resistance of the working class in capitalist society.
At times this trend has encompassed huge numbers of the working class, in huge waves of social unrest and workplace militancy, such as in the American post-war wildcat strike wave, the Italian Hot Autumn of 1969 or the British Winter of Discontent in 1978 or the anti-austerity resistance in Greece since 2010.
Sometimes this social unrest has even resulted in the explosion of revolutionary events. For example in Paris 1871, Russia 1917, Italy 1919-1920, Ukraine 1921, Spain 1936 and Hungary 1956. These are just some of the occasions when the working class has tried, though collective action, to reshape society in our own interests, rather than the bosses'.
To each according to need…
There is no shortage in the world of politicians or political groups claiming to have ready-made blueprints for creating a fairer society. However, communism is not something which can be decreed into being by political parties or individual politicians but must be created, through mass participation and experimentation, by workers ourselves.
It is therefore worth pointing out at this stage that 'communism' has nothing in common with the former USSR or present-day Cuba or North Korea. These are essentially capitalist societies with only one capitalist: the state. And it equally has nothing to do with China, whose ruling party calls itself 'communist' while overseeing one of the world's most successful capitalist nations.
However, in the various revolutionary events throughout history (some of which mentioned previously), working class people have experimented with different aspects of putting communism into practice. In doing so, they laid down principles for how a communist society could be organised as well as practical examples of what is possible when we act together in our class interests.
Without bosses
Instead of ownership or control of the means of production - land, factories, offices and so on - being in the hands of private individuals or the state, a communist society is based on the common ownership and control of those means. And instead of production for exchange and profit, communism means production to meet human needs, including the need for a safe environment.
Already today, it is us workers who produce everything and run all the services necessary for life. We lay the roads, build the homes, drive the trains, care for the sick, raise the children, make the food, design the products, make the clothes and teach the next generation.
And every worker knows that often the bosses hinder us more than they help.
Examples abound demonstrating that workers can effectively run workplaces themselves. And in fact can do so better than hierarchically organised workplaces.
One recent example are the factories taken over during the 2001 uprising in Argentina, when one-third of the country's industry was put under workers' control. And historically, there have been even bigger and more widespread examples.
For example during the Spanish civil war in 1936, the majority of industries in revolutionary Spain were taken over and run collectively by the workers. Where it was possible in some areas workers pushed closer to a communist society, abolishing money or distributing non-scarce goods for free.
Mechanics in revolutionary Spain 1936
In Seattle in 1919 during the general strike the city was taken over and run by the workers. In Russia in 1917, workers took over the factories, before the Bolsheviks returned the authority of the bosses.
Without wages
Communism also means a moneyless society where our activity - and its products - no longer take the form of things to be bought and sold.
The principal concern most people hold as to whether a communist society could is asking if humans really can produce enough for us to survive without the implicit threat of destitution, enforced by the wage system.
However, there is ample evidence demonstrating that we do not need the threat of destitution or starvation hanging over us in order to engage in productive activity.
For most of human history, we have not had money or wage labour, however necessary tasks still got done.
In hunter-gatherer societies, for example, which were overwhelmingly peaceful and egalitarian there was no distinction between work and play.
Even today, huge amounts of necessary work is done for free. In the UK, for example, despite working long hours people (mostly women) also carry out over three hours unpaid housework every day. On top of this, nearly 10% of people also carry out unpaid care work and 25% of adults in England carry out voluntary work at least once a month. Globally, the value of unpaid labour to the economy was an estimated $11 trillion a year in 2011.
Almost every useful type of work you can think of is also done by some people for free, not as "work" for wages, demonstrating that they are not strictly necessary. Growing food, looking after children, playing music, fixing cars, sweeping, talking to people about their problems, caring for the sick, computer programming, making clothes, designing products… the list is endless.
Studies show that money is not an effective motivator for good performance at complex tasks. People having the freedom and control to do what they want how they want, and having a constructive, socially useful reason for doing so is the best motivator.
Things like the free software movement, too, demonstrate how non-hierarchical, collective organisation for a socially useful goal can be superior to hierarchical organisation for profit and that people don't need wages to be motivated to produce.
And without the profit motive, any technological advancement which makes a work process more efficient, instead of just laying workers off and making those remaining work harder (like happens at present), we can all just work a little less and have more free time. See our introduction to work for more information.
Without a state
In our introduction to the state we define government as "an organisation controlled and run by a small minority of people… [with] the ability within a given area to make political and legal decisions - and to enforce them, with violence if necessary."
With no division between employers and workers, and rich and poor, there is no longer a need for a body of organised violence controlled by a small number of people, like the police, to protect the property of the rich and enforce poverty, wage labour and even starvation on everyone else. And with no need to accumulate capital or make profit there is no longer the need for armies to capture new markets and new resources.
Of course there will still be a need to protect the population from antisocial or violent individuals. But this can be done in a localised and democratic way, by a mandated, rotating and recallable body, rather than by an unaccountable police force whose brutality and even murders almost always go unpunished.
To make collective decisions, instead of "representative democracy" which governs most countries at present we propose direct democracy. True democracy is more than the right to elect a handful of (often rich) individuals to make political decisions for us for a few years, while other decisions are made unaccountably in corporate boardrooms led by the "tyranny of the market".
We can control our struggles ourselves, from our groups of workmates up through workplace and community assemblies and we can come together to coordinate across huge geographical areas using communications technology and workers' councils with mandated and recallable delegates.
And as we can organise our struggles, we can also eventually organise society ourselves, as the working class has done before at times. For instance, during the 1956 Hungarian uprising, workers' councils were set up to organise the running of society as workers demanded a socialism based on working class democracy. And more recently, since the uprising in 1994, the Chiapas region of Mexico has been run independently from the state through direct democracy with no leaders and where public servants' terms are limited to two weeks.

Many people may think that communism sounds like a good idea but doubt it would work in practice. However first it is worth asking "does capitalism work?"
As billions live in dire poverty amidst unimaginable wealth, and we hurtle relentlessly towards environmental catastrophe we believe the answer is a resounding "no". And while no system will be perfect, we believe there is ample evidence that a communist society would function far better than our current capitalist one for the majority of people - even for the rich who often aren't happy despite their wealth.
A communist society won't be without problems. But it will resolve the major issues we face today, like widespread poverty and ecological devastation, freeing us to tackle much more interesting problems.
Instead of the need to work more, produce more and accumulate more, we can instead focus on how to work less, make what work we need to do more enjoyable, have more fun, more happiness and more joy.
Instead of measuring the success of a society by GDP, we can measure it by well-being and happiness. Instead of relating to each other as 'staff', 'customers', 'supervisors' or 'competitors', we can relate to each other as human beings.
Those of us reading and writing this may never live to see a fully libertarian communist society. But even so communism as the real movement - the everyday fight to assert our needs against those of capital - improves our lives in the here and now, and gives us a better chance of protecting living and working conditions, as well as the planet, for ourselves and future generations. Indeed, it is communism as the real movement - that is, the everyday struggles to defend and improve our conditions today - that lays the foundations for communism as a free and equal society.
What we call this movement has, in different times and places, been called 'anarchist communism', 'libertarian communism' or simply 'socialism' or 'communism'. What matters, however, is not the name or ideological label but its existence, not just as a future ideal but as the living embodiment of our needs, our desires and our spirit of resistance in our everyday lives. This spirit of resistance exists, and has always existed, in every society and under every regime where there is injustice and exploitation; so then, does the possibility for a world based on freedom and equality for all.

Most Chinese wedding customs have been modernised but some traditions still remain, such as the tea ceremony and the gate-crashing ceremony, where the groom picks up the bride. These are, without a doubt, the most sentimental and joyous aspects of the whole day. The gatecrashing ceremony fills the house with a lot of laughter as both sides of the family get acquainted with one another through ice-breaker games; while the tea ceremony is a traditional and sweet way of introducing the new family member to each side.
Here, we love how Rachel was resplendent in her 'kua' and how charming Chris looked in his traditional Chinese outfit, plus that beautiful red flower wall. Many thanks to WeFreeze Photography for capturing the joy of such a wonderful day, perfectly complemented by the beautiful stylings of Rachel's own team, Pathway Events & Design. Do check out their elegant blue and gold wedding reception too; we promise you it is Pinterest-worthy.

Home Policy When Will We Be Able to Vote Online?
When Will We Be Able to Vote Online?
Sooner or later everything seems to go online. Newspapers. TV. Radio. Shopping. Banking. Dating.
But it's much harder to drag voting out of the paper era. In the 2012 presidential election, more than half of Americans who voted cast paper ballots—0 percent voted with their smartphones.
Why isn't Internet voting here yet?
Imagine the advantages! There'd be no ambiguity, no hanging chads or errant marks. We'd get the totals instantly.
And think how online voting would boost participation! If most people didn't actually have to go somewhere to vote, you'd have a much better turnout than the measly 61.8 percent who bothered in the 2012 election.
You'd also cut costs, improve accessibility for older or disabled voters, accommodate citizens abroad and get the younger generation more involved in government. And you could still have in-person voting for those who lack access to the tech.
Hey, Estonia has offered Internet voting in elections since 2005. About 30 percent of voters take advantage of the option. No fraud, no hacks, no problems. So what's the holdup in the U.S.?
It's all about security, of course. Currently Internet voting is "a nonstarter," according to Aviel D. Rubin, technical director of Johns Hopkins University's Information Security Institute and author of the 2006 book Brave New Ballot. "You can't control the security of the platform," he told me. The app you're using, the operating system on your phone, the servers your data will cross en route to their destination—there are just too many openings for hacker interference.
"But wait," you're entitled to object, "banks, online stores and stock markets operate electronically. Why should something as simple as recording votes be so much more difficult?"
Voting is much trickier for a couple of reasons. Whereas monetary transactions are based on a firm understanding of your identity, a vote is supposed to be anonymous. In case of bank trouble, investigators can trace a credit-card purchase back to you, but how can they track an anonymous vote?
And credit-card and bank fraud goes on constantly. It's just a cost of doing business. But the outcome of an election is too important; we can't simply ignore a bunch of lost or altered votes.
So how does Estonia do it?
It's a clever system. You can vote online using a government ID card with a chip and associated PIN code—and a card reader for your PC. You can confirm the correct logging of your vote with an app. Parts of the software are available for public inspection.
You can change your vote as many times as you like online—you can even vote again in person—but only the last vote counts, diminishing the possibility that somebody forced your selection.
Unfortunately, three factors weaken this system's importance as a model for the U.S. First, Estonia is a country of about one million eligible voters—not around 220 million. Second, we don't have a national ID card.
Third, security experts insist that just because hackers haven't interfered with Estonia's voting doesn't mean they can't. In 2014 a team led by University of Michigan researchers found at least two points where hackers could easily change votes: by installing a virus on individual PCs or by modifying the vote-collecting servers. (The Estonian government disagrees with the findings.)
Meanwhile other countries' online-voting efforts haven't been as successful. Norway tested online voting systems in 2011 and 2013. But after controversy and the discovery that there was no improvement in voter turnout, the program was abandoned; it's back to paper for Norway.
At the moment, a few Americans can vote online: absentee voters from Alaska and many such voters in the military, for example. But they're informed that their votes may not be anonymous or secure.
Online voting isn't dead forever: great minds are working with biometric ID systems, two-factor authentication and new cryptographic systems in hopes of solving the problem. But the odds are overwhelming that you won't be casting your vote online in this year's election—or in the next few after that. In the meantime, we can still get our "I voted" stickers.

The Exeter City Academy is inviting teams to register for one of two under 8s six-a-side festivals to be held at the club's training ground on Sunday, February 17.
The festivals are intended for players and teams who will be under 8s for the 2018/2019 season.
Each festival will take place on the club's 4G pitch. There will be 10 team places available for each festival, on a first come first served basis. Teams will be able to register a maximum of eight players.
There will be a guaranteed five matches throughout the festival for each team. This will consist of two groups of five teams, with every team playing each team in their group, followed by an additional game with a team from the opposite group.
Unfortunately, due to demand, teams will only be able to enter one of the two festivals. There will be a small entry fee of £15 per team.
To register, please complete the attached registration form and return to Dan Kelly at dan.kelly@ecfc.co.uk no later than Friday, February 8, 2019.

Der Sonderlandeplatz Treuchtlingen-Bubenheim ist der Flugplatz der mittelfränkischen Stadt Treuchtlingen im Landkreis Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen. Er wird vom Luftsportverein Treuchtlingen-Pappenheim e. V. betrieben.

Geografie

Der Flugplatz liegt knapp fünf Kilometer nordwestlich des historischen Ortskernes von Treuchtlingen auf einer Höhe von  im Tal der Altmühl bei dem Gemeindeteil Bubenheim.
Naturräumlich befindet sich nördlich das Fränkische Seenland, östlich und südlich die Fränkische Alb und westlich der Hahnenkamm.

Geschichte
Die Fliegerei wird in Treuchtlingen seit dem Anfang der 1950er Jahre betrieben. Der Luftsportverein Treuchtlingen-Pappenheim wurde 1959 gegründet und 1961 das Gelände bei Bubenheim bezogen. Es bestand zunächst eine private Flugzeughalle und die Zulassung als Sonderlandeplatz erfolgte im Jahr 1972. In den Folgejahren entstanden dort eine weitere Halle und ein eigenes Clubheim. Seither erfolgt kontinuierlich der weitere Ausbau. Ein Flugleitstand kam 1985 hinzu und 2005 wurde eine Halle neu gebaut.

Flugplatz und Ausstattung
Der Flugplatz ist ein Sonderlandeplatz für Luftfahrzeuge aller Art bis 2000 kg Höchstabfluggewicht (MTOW) und Hubschrauber bis 3500 kg. Er hat keine geregelten Betriebszeiten. Der Halter und Betreiber ist der Luftsportverein Treuchtlingen-Pappenheim e. V. Eine Landung ist nur nach vorheriger Anmeldung möglich (PPR). Der Platz führt die ICAO-Kennung EDNT.

Der am Flugplatz beheimatete Verein bietet für Vereinsmitglieder Ausbildung durch ehrenamtlich tätige Fluglehrer auf Segelflugzeugen, Motorseglern, Motorflugzeugen und Ultraleichtflugzeug-Dreiachsern an.

Es bestehen ein Wirtschaftsgebäude mit einem Tower (Frequenz 122,600 MHz), ein Hangar und das Vereinsheim.

Zwischenfälle
 Am 6. August 2000 geriet eine mit vier Personen besetzte Piper PA-28 bei der Landung hinter einer Antonow An-2 in Schräglage, wodurch eine Tragfläche Bodenkontakt bekam. Das Fluggerät wurde hierbei leicht beschädigt, die Insassen blieben unverletzt.

Verkehr
Der Flugplatz liegt direkt an der Kreisstraße WUG 5, die über die Staatsstraßen St 2230 und St 2216 mit der östlich verlaufenden Bundesstraße 2 verbunden ist.

Der ÖPNV bedient den Flugplatz nicht direkt, jedoch kann im wenige hundert Meter östlichen Bubenheim zu zwei Buslinien zugestiegen werden. Die Linie 695 fährt nach Weißenburg, die Linie 880.3 zum Bahnhof Treuchtlingen.

Linny Giffin, fiber artist and co-founder of The Lemon Collective, moved into her live/work space in Washington, D.C.?s Mount Pleasant neighborhood a year and a half ago. Since then she's cracked the code on how to make each of its 350 square feet work for her nine-to-five job and everything in between. The key" An uncompromising concept, strict color palette and decisive shopping.
To make sure she chose the best possible plan for the combination home/studio, Linny took her time. ?I wanted to develop a vision and observe what I was drawn to design-wise,? she says. This process eventually led Linny to a laid-back, coastal look filled with accessories in varying shades of her two favorite colors: peach and orange. Sticking to this color story has helped the studio's four corners fold into one another, effectively making her ?California cool? space feel larger. Since the apartment is so small, the furniture Linny sourced couldn't just fit within her West Coast motif. Each piece also had to promote productivity. Dual-purpose options like a lightweight credenza that doubles as a desk have proven successful. These items let her turn the apartment's common space into a fully-functional workshop, then back to a relaxing living room in a flash.

Q: Determination of a uniformly continuous, not locally Hölder-continuous function over an open set Given an open interval $I=(a,b)$, I would like to exhibit a uniformly continuous function over $I$ that is not locally Hölder-continuous with exponent $\alpha$ for any $\alpha\in(0,1)$.
It is quite easy to exhibit an UC-function that is not globally Hölder-continuous for a given exponent, or an UC-function that, in a neighbourhood of a single point, is not Holder-continuous for any exponent, but how can we bring this type of "singularity" in any open neighbourhood belonging to $I$?
My first try was to consider UC-functions with "very fast local variation", i.e. nowhere or almost-nowhere differentiable functions, like the Weierstrass function. Unfortunately, the Weierstrass function, despite its weird behaviour, is Hölder-continuous.

A: By considering that (thanks to Marco D'Addezio)
$$ f(x)=-\frac{1}{\log x} $$
is not $\alpha$-Holder continuous in a right neighbourhood of zero for any $\alpha\in(0,1)$ (as the inverse of the "really flat" function $\exp(-1/x)$), we can take:
$$ g(x)=\frac{1}{\log 4-\log \sin^2(\pi x)}$$
(defined as $0$ if $x\in\mathbb{Z}$) to have a 1-periodic uniformly continuous function over $\mathbb{R}$, that is not locally Holder-continuous in any neighbourhood of an integer, and is locally Lipschitz-continuous over $\mathbb{R}\setminus\mathbb{Z}$. By condensation of singularities, i.e. by considering the following sum of translates of $g(x)$ over the dyadic rationals in $(0,1)$ (any countable dense subset can play the same role):
$$h(x)=g(x)+\sum_{j=1}^{+\infty}\frac{1}{3^j}\sum_{k=1}^{2^{j-1}}g\left(x-\frac{2k-1}{2^j}\right)$$
we still have a periodic uniformly continuous function over $\mathbb{R}$, that is nowhere locally $\alpha$-Holder continuous for any $\alpha\in(0,1)$.
