Iran, Russia and Turkey hold Syria talks in Astana
The foreign ministers of Iran, Russia and Turkey were locked in talks on Syria in Kazakhstan on March 16, almost a month after the Moscow and Tehran-backed regime began pounding an opposition enclave just outside of Damascus.
The dire humanitarian situation in Eastern Ghouta, a suburb of the Syrian capital, is likely to be on the agenda as Mohammad Javad Zarif of Iran, Sergei Lavrov of Russia and Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu of Turkey convened in the Kazakh capital Astana Friday.
"The situation 'on the ground' will be considered" at talks, as well as "successes and difficulties in the process of de-escalation" said a statement from the Russian Foreign Ministry.
The meeting is expected to lay ground for a summit involving the presidents of the three countries in Istanbul on April 4.
A spokesman for Kazakhstan's Foreign Ministry confirmed Friday that talks were beginning as scheduled at 8:00 a.m.
More than 340,000 people have been killed since Syria's brutal civil war started in 2011. It has since spiraled into a complex conflict involving multiple world powers.
In recent weeks, the focus has been on Eastern Ghouta. Nearly 1,260 civilians have been killed there since the Syrian regime's bombardment of the rebel enclave began on Feb. 18. A fifth of them are children.
United Nations chief Antonio Guterres has described the former rebel stronghold facing stark shortages of food and other basic goods as "hell on Earth."
Forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad are now believed to control over 70 percent of the enclave that saw nearly 20,000 civilians flee on March 15 alone, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a monitor.
Rebel-backer Turkey has called for an end to the siege in Eastern Ghouta but remains embroiled in its own offensive on the northern Syrian town of Afrin that is inhabited mostly by ethnic Kurds.
The United Nations Syria envoy Staffan de Mistura is missing the Astana talks due to illness, his office said on March 15, adding that deputy Ramzi Ramzi would take his place.
Kazakhstan has hosted multiple rounds of talks on Syria since January 2017, backed by the three power brokers, most of which involved delegations from the Syrian government and opposition.
A deal for four "de-escalation zones" thrashed out in Astana last year was credited with reducing government-rebel hostilities but was branded a failure by the United States in the wake of the assault on Eastern Ghouta.

I didn't get a chance to tell you in person how pleased I was with the job you did – it is outstanding and I just wanted to say thank you. We are very happy in our new home, although not settled yet. You played a part in this next chapter once again and I'm very appreciative.
Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and continued success for many years to come.
Please feel free to continue to use us as a reference should one be needed.
I know we are very late with our thank you, but they say "better late than never". Harry and I really appreciate the generous thank you that you sent us after you painted the Maurer's home. It is always our pleasure to recommend you for any paint job. Ilona and Hans were so very satisfied with your skill and work ethic and I'm sure will also be recommending you for any painting jobs that come up. Obviously we enjoyed some nice wine purchased with your gift. Thank you again and have a happy holiday season!
When i hired Monica and her son of Perfect Touch Painting to paint the outside of our house i expected good work as i had hired Monica before to paint a room in my home. I was very impressed in the timely manner they finished their job and that they re-attached the mail box, light fixtures etc. and there was no paint on my windows. They sure did a much better and faster job than we had done 20 years ago. I would not hesitate to ask them again.
After a week of hard work, Monica Bigford with Perfect Touch Painting and her crew just left our home.
They did a fantastic job on painting ceilings, walls, doors and trims. They worked fast, were very respectful of everything in the house, including our dog:-) and were very pleasant to have around. Needless to say I would absolutely recommend them for any paint job!
We contacted Monica and her crew from Perfect Touch Painting, as she was recommended from friends. We got together and told Monica that we would like to have our whole house painted. We selected the colors, agreed on how long it would take and received an estimate for the job.
Monica , Charles and Ryan came everyday on time, did a fantastic job and cleaned up after themselves . It was a pleasure to have these Professionals working in our home, doing the BEST JOB we had ever experienced.
We Highly recommend Monica and her Team to anyone who would like to have their House painted and be very satisfied.
Thank you Monica and crew for all you have done for us.
Thanks a lot for the cleaning solutions and the Salmon Arm information. Red and I are so pleased with the job you have done with our bathrooms and bedrooms. They are so much brighter now, and look brand new. Thanks again for all your hard work.
We have no hesitation to recommend Monica for future painting projects. "Perfect Touch" was asked for an estimate to decorate our Brant Crossing Condo. Our ideas for the project were discussed and Monica confidently gave her input, an estimate was supplied and the project awarded. The schedule was agreed, each day she turned up on time, the furniture was moved, painted areas were cleaned up daily and the job was completed on time. The quality of the work is first class and Monica was very easy to work with. Very important to us was that the estimate was the final cost with no hidden extras.
Hope that works for you, thanks again for all of the above reasons.
A client of mine hired Monica to do the upstairs of her house while she was away on thanksgiving weekend and i was watching over my clients home for them. I had not met Monica and when I came to feed the cats I noticed she had come and gone. She did such a fabulous job in my clients home I was impressed and recommended her to one of my other clients. My client had called her and said she was recommended by her cleaner Keri. Monica and I still have never met till the time we went and did my clients move in. We finally got a chance to meet and we worked together in my clients home for three days straight. I was the cleaner and she was the painter. We hit it off well and she did an awesome job at my clients home with all these wild colors of this huge mermaid house. I would highly recommend Monica to any of my clients. I also look forward in working with you again.
Unfortunately the owner has decided that she isn't going to paint the whole house. she just wants the fascia and the front door done now. Unfortunately she had a friend (handy man) that was willing and able to do it for her. Thank you so much for your quick estimate it was hugely appreciated and I will not forget your good service in the future as we have lots of these types of jobs that pop up. Monica your customer service is fantastic and it won't be forgotten in the future.
Monica was hired by our strata to strip wall paper in our lobby and patch and paint walls and doors.
The project also included painting the walls and doors in the back hallway, off the lobby, leading to the garage.
We are very pleased with the finished project. While this project was taking place Monica dedicated her time and effort to us. She was here on time every day of the project and worked tirelessly to complete the job on time and on budget. We were impressed with how efficiently she worked and the fact that she is constantly cleaned up behind herself both during the day and at the end of each day. She vacuumed, dusted and then organized her tools out of the way but easily accessible for her to begin work the next day without delay.
We strongly recommend Monica Bigford of Perfect Touch Painting to anyone who might need her services.
Monica was professional, punctual and did a great job. We liked her work so much that we hired her back for a second round. When a pro painting company didn't show up, she committed to the job and was here at our home within the hour–outstanding commitment! I highly recommend Perfect Touch Painting.
I came across Perfect Touch Painting by fluke, I had moved to Kelowna and did not know many people but had a lot of painting work that needed to be done that I know I was to busy and had no time or desire to tackle with a young family. I am a picky person as Monica will let you know but I am like that with anything I do as well.
I had called Monica the first time to ask for a quote for the interior of the house to be painted. I was impressed with her because there were some areas that not only did they need paint it had to be repaired. She explained to me that she had worked for a previous company that did celling repairs and her boss and her clients where always happy with her work. I have to say that the ceiling that she repaired in my home was done in one day and you can't see that there had been any damage form a water leak we had and so I was very impressed. There was also some other work that needed to be repaired and each time Monica took on the challenge and the finished work was well done. I am also happy with all the interior painting, she always started when she said she would and cleaned up after the job was done.
I also had Monica do some kitchen cabinet work , they needed a complete new look and she did a great job. I have other friends now who would like her to do their cabinets. She was a little worried at first she had not done this type of work for clients but again the work was well done and everything was cleaned up when the job was finished.
Later we also decided that the exterior paint needed to be done and I called Monica by this time I new Monica very well I wasn't sure that she did exterior painting but the complete work speaks of itself my balcony looks great I can now have people over where as before it was ugly with a lot of the original pain mostly peeling off because Kelowna has a wonderful hot season.
Both my husband and I are happy with all the work Monica has done in our home, we felt that she treated our home like it was hers and I know I will call her again if anything needs some new colour!
Mark and I just wanted to thank you for doing a fantastic job with the painting of our basement, living room, dining room, kitchen and main bedroom. As you know we are new to Kelowna and we were sceptical about finding not only a reliable painter, but a professional painter. We decided to use the yellow pages and found your advert which immediately caught my eye given your unusual logo. Right from the start we felt comfortable with your approach (no hard sales pitch) and professional manner. A big consideration for most people is cost and we found your estimate very well placed. As they say 'the proof is in the pudding', in other words you do not know whether something is as good as it looks until you get it. Past experience has taught us that many companies have many promises and just do not stand up to it. Punctuality and good communication is most important and you certainly excel in both. You also have a very tidy approach to your work. Thank you very much! We are very happy with our new rooms.
Monica Bigford has been a subcontractor for me over the past 4 years. During this time she has completed many painting and drywall jobs to the highest level of quality. I have received compliments from my customers saying how professional Monica is and how they were not only impressed with her work, but also with the care she took working in their home. Monica can be counted on showing up on time and staying until the job is done always with a positive attitude and a drive that inspires others to work at their highest potential as well. As a motivator and supervisor she would be a great asset. If you wish to contact me directly to discuss, please feel free to call me at 604-535-6448 during regular business hours.
To whom it may concern: Monica Bigford and her staff at Perfect Touch Painting have been subcontracting for our firm over the past 3 years. During this time they have completed many painting jobs to the highest level of quality. Our clients have always been satisfied with their work and the professionalism that goes with it. Monika is reliable, dependable, and she and her staff work quickly and positively. She completes small jobs or larger and complete Homes with speed and perfection. We highly recommend Perfect Touch Painting for any of your painting needs.
This letter is in reference to Perfect Touch Painting and the services that have been provided by them to our company.
Perfect Touch Painting has done numerous jobs for our company. They have ranged from the painting of a small porch step, trim work on a house, and the complete re-painting of the inside of a high end, lakefront townhouse. All the jobs wheather big or small, have been done to the upmost professional finish. Monica and her staff are professional and always on schedule. She has managed to "fit us in" to her schedule so that our needs were met.
I've referred Perfect Touch Painting to numerous other clients and wouldn't hesitate in doing so again. Her craftsmanship in her painting shows in her finished work and I as well as my clients have always been very satisfied with her work.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contract me at the office. I'd be happy to give a reference for her person.
Council wishes to extend its gratitude for the exceptional pricing, quick, reliable and efficient work completed in your recent work at the strata. We found you and your crew very accommodating, and easy to get along with.
Hi Monica, Thank you so much for the bottle of wine. We are pleased with the paint job and have no problem providing a reference. It was a pleasure meeting you. You were patient, quick, efficient and stayed within budget. Thanks again and Happy Holidays.
Just a short note to thank you for the wonderful painting job you did on my home. Not only was the work you did superior, but appreciated all the prep work that was applied. Also the clean-up after was superb. Everything was left spotless and back in it's place. I would gladly recommend you to any of my friends and associates, thank you again for your professional work , friendly and positive attitude.
After seven plus years in our home, my husband and I decided to repaint our entire home, ceiling to floor. Monica Bigford of Perfect Touch Painting was one of the painters recommended to us and was one of four painters we chose to give us an estimate for the job.
From our very first meeting, Monica presented herself as a very personable but knowledgeable and professional painter. As we walked through the different rooms, she asked pertinent questions, took necessary measurements and promised an estimate within a few days. Pride in her work was obvious even at this early stage. Being true to her word, an estimate was e-mailed to us very quickly. Her estimate was clear, concise and comparable to the others. We do not regret our choice of painters to this day.
Although we had chosen paint colour from chips from Benjamin Moore, my husband and I chose to have our home painted with the ecologically friendly Cloverdale paint. Monica calculated the required amount of paint needed and went with me to match the colour exactly. Her knowledge of matching paint was truly amazing; we didn't leave the store until the colours were perfect. The clerk at the store also gave Monica a "two-thumbs up" when I told him our painter's name.
Once a date was set for the paint job to begin, Monica and her assistant, Charles, arrived each day on time and continued to work very quickly but efficiently in every room. Our home and furniture was treated as if it was their own and with as little inconvenience as possible given the huge undertaking this was. They matched my husband and me in being very fussy about the finished project being perfect. All imperfections (nail holes, knicks/scrapes on walls) were filled and/or repaired and any additional changes we may have had were met with a positive attitude. Everything received two coats of paint – ceilings, crown mouldings, baseboards, doors, door casings, walls. At the end of each day as they tidied up from the day's work, we were advised to continue checking for any sections missed or any sections we weren't quite satisfied with. It was quite difficult to find anything that needed correcting.
The painting of our home met all of our expectations and we have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Monica Bigford of Perfect Touch Painting for any paint job.
Just a brief note to tell you how pleased we are with the painting job you did for us: the assistance you provided in selecting such good colours; your thoroughly professional approach to the job itself; and the little extra touches that made it all so perfect. Needless to say, we would not hesitate to recommend your services to whomever might ask.

Bernardo Bertolucci, Oscar-winning director of 'The Last Emperor,' dies
By Nick Vivarelli| 1 year ago
LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) - Bernardo Bertolucci, whose epic The Last Emperor won nine Oscars and who influenced generations of filmmakers with other groundbreaking works such as The Conformist and Last Tango in Paris, in which he explored politics and sexuality through personal storytelling and audacious camera work, has died. He was 77.
His publicist, Flavia Schiavi, said Bertolucci died at his home in Rome at 7 a.m. Monday. He had been suffering from cancer.
(AAP)
Italy's greatest auteur of his generation, Bertolucci managed to work both in Europe and Hollywood, though his relationship with the studios had its ups and downs. But even when he operated within the studio system, Bertolucci always managed to make films that were considered projections of his inner world.
The Last Emperor, an adaptation of the autobiography of China's last imperial ruler, Pu Yi, swept the 1987 Oscars, winning every category in which it had been nominated, including best picture and best director. With it, Bertolucci became the first and only Italian to win the Oscar for best director. The Last Emperor is among the movies that have won the most Academy Awards and was also the first Western epic about China made with the Chinese government's cooperation.
Born March 16, 1941, into a wealthy family in the northern Italian city of Parma, Bertolucci was a prodigious talent from a young age. The son of well-known poet and writer Attilio Bertolucci, he himself won an award for poetry at age 21, then decided to become a filmmaker.
A post shared by CinemaItaliaUK (@cinemaitaliauk) on Nov 26, 2018 at 1:14am PST
He started out as an assistant to another Italian poet, Pier Paolo Pasolini, on Pasolini's first feature Accattone, in 1961, a portrayal of a Roman pimp. Bertolucci's own debut film, The Grim Reaper in 1962, was an investigation into the murder of a Roman prostitute told from multiple points of view. The movie screened at the Venice Film Festival.
Two years later, Bertolucci was in the Cannes Critics' Week lineup with the semi-autobiographical Before the Revolution, set in Parma, about a 20-year-old student torn between bourgeois conformity and revolutionary Marxism who has an incestuous affair with his attractive young aunt, played by Adriana Asti. Bertolucci married Asti soon after the film was released, but the couple divorced a few years later.
In 1970, he received his first Academy Award nomination for the adapted screenplay of The Conformist, based on a novel by Alberto Moravia. The film is set during Italy's Fascist period and centers on a tormented intellectual (Jean-Louis Trintignant) recruited by Mussolini's secret police to go to Paris to assassinate an anti-Fascist professor who was once his teacher.
Kinetically shot by ace cinematographer Vittorio Storaro, The Conformist is now hailed as a masterpiece that exerted a major influence on other filmmakers, especially the so-called New Hollywood directors of the day, including Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola.
Although Tango is regarded as one of the most important films of the 20th century, it generated particular controversy for its anal rape scene, in which butter is used as a lubricant. Bertolucci acknowledged later that the scene was sprung as a surprise on actress Maria Schneider, then 19, in order to elicit an authentic reaction from her "as a girl, not as an actress."
Before her death in 2011, Schneider told an interviewer that she had "felt humiliated and...a little raped" by Brando and Bertolucci. But the director always denied he had mistreated her.
"I think Last Tango's success was in part due to the scandal, the sodomy, the butter, but in truth, it's a tremendously desperate movie," Bertolucci told Variety in a 2011 interview. "It's very rare that such a desperate movie manages to have such a widespread audience."
A post shared by Ferzan Ozpetek (@ferzanozpetek) on Nov 26, 2018 at 1:23am PST
Last Tango also landed Bertolucci in trouble with the law in his homeland. He was brought up on charges of obscenity, which caused him to lose his civil rights for five years. "I could not vote, and that was the punishing part," he said. "I felt like I'm not Italian anymore."
The political exile of sorts played a part in his choice to make what he called his "faraway movies" set in distant locales: The Last Emperor in China; The Sheltering Sky (1990), based on a Paul Bowles novel, in North Africa; and Little Buddha (1993), in Nepal and Bhutan.
The worldwide fame Bertolucci achieved with Last Tango allowed him to mount his first Hollywood production, the daring historical epic 1900, in Italy. It stars Burt Lancaster - who was so eager to be in the film that, to avoid hassles with his agent, he worked for free - and also Donald Sutherland, a young Robert De Niro and Gerard Depardieu. They acted alongside farmers from Italy's Emilia region, where the sweeping depiction of social struggle is set.
Bertolucci's director's cut of 1900 was five hours, 17 minutes long, prompting a fierce battle with Paramount. The version released in the U.S. in 1977 clocked in at three hours and five minutes. The fight, and the film's mixed critical response, nearly ended Bertolucci's career.
But 10 years later, in 1987, he came roaring back in the U.S. when the Academy awarded nine Oscars to The Last Emperor, a sumptuous historical epic starring John Lone and Joan Chen. After years of volatile relations with Hollywood, Bertolucci called his Oscar-night triumph "perhaps my most curious Hollywood moment."
In 1996, Bertolucci made his first movie in 15 years to be set and shot in Italy, the English-language Stealing Beauty, starring 19-year-old Liv Tyler as the lead character in a tale of sexual initiation in Tuscany. He followed that up with Rome-set chamber drama Besieged, in 1998, and Paris-set The Dreamers, in 2004, a paean to the Paris of 1968 and the movies he devoured then at its legendary Cinematheque Francaise.
Among the many accolades bestowed on him were the Cannes Film Festival's Honorary Palme d'Or for lifetime achievement, in 2011; the Venice Film Festival's Honorary Golden Lion, in 2007; and the Locarno Film Festival's Leopard of Honor, in 1997. He presided over the Venice jury twice, in 1983 and 2013, and over the Cannes jury in 1990.
Bertolucci directed his last film, the intimate coming-of-age drama Me and You, despite being in a wheelchair, reportedly because of several botched surgeries for a herniated disc.
His first Italian-language film in 23 years, the movie centers on a teenage boy who connects with his heroin-addicted older half-sister. Me and You was largely shot in a large basement in Rome's Trastevere quarter, around the corner from Bertolucci's residence, and played out of competition in Cannes in 2012.
Bertolucci's second marriage, to production and costume designer Maria Paola Maino, ended in divorce. He is survived by his third wife, screenwriter and director Clare Peploe, whom he married in 1979.

The American Civil Liberties Union of New Hampshire is lauding citizens for overwhelmingly passing two amendments to the state constitution during Tuesday's elections.
One amendment returns "standing" to taxpayers in their right to bring suit against local governments and state government that the ACLU said was taken away by the state Supreme Court in 2014. The second gives constitutional privacy rights to personal information.
"Government accountability goes to the heart of our democracy, and taxpayer standing is a key mechanism for citizens to challenge unconstitutional government action in courts," the ACLU-NH said in a statement.
Gilles Bissonnette, legal director of ACLU-NH, said in a phone interview on Wednesday that the easy passage likely was because the amendments are "good policy" and had strong bipartisan support in the Legislature. He also credited the advocacy work of the ACLU and others for informing voters on the amendments and their purpose.
Asked whether the amendment could lead to a lot of frivolous suits, Bissonnette said it was unlikely, noting that there was no influx of suits during the lengthy time when taxpayer standing previously existed in New Hampshire.
On the second amendment, which gives citizens "explicit" privacy protections, the ACLU said it is needed given new technologies.
"On a partisan day, Granite Staters came together to add an explicit right to privacy to our state constitution," Jeanne Hruska, ACLU-NH policy director, said in a news release.
"New Hampshire has demonstrated again why it is a national leader on privacy," Hruska said.

Lanzarote Geo Tours are designed to enjoy the varied terrain of Lanzarote. In the south volcano tour of Lanzarote we explore highlights which are often hard to reach without a 4x4. Volcanic landscape tours combine guided driving with low intensity hiking. (Approx. 4 miles/6 km in total).
This half day Geo Tour offers insight into the variation between young and old volcanic landscapes. We explore the differing geological origins of Lanzarote volcanology. In this southern volcano tour we explore part of the Timanfaya National Park area, with dramatic lava-sculpted landscapes of the national park.

Back in 1989, Dejan Krsić and Ivan Molek, then editors of the popular weekly magazine 'Start' from Zagreb, together with the writer Dubravka Ugrešić, came up with the idea of putting together a Lexicon of Yugoslav Mythology. This lexicon was to become an overview of Yugoslav popular culture, a map of Yugoslav commonplaces that would help articulate and define the make up of Yugoslav cultural identity. Little did they know that, within a couple of years, history would not only do away with 'Start' magazine, but with Yugoslavia as well.
In the years that followed, the question of a once shared Yugoslav cultural identity became a highly controversial issue. The violent dissolution of Yugoslavia could not be justified without stating that Yugoslavia was a brutally imposed and unnatural construction; unnatural because it was holding together nations which had little or nothing in common. It could not be admitted that they had once shared an exciting cultural space. Reminiscing about anything that had to do with life in former Yugoslavia became an act of political subversion.
Most inhabitants of the newly created national states, in fear of being denounced as 'yugo-nostalgists', tried to adopt their new identities and forget there was ever such a thing as the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The few people who dared to point out that collective amnesia is not the answer to the Yugoslav trauma and that denying one's own past instead of coming to terms with it will sooner or later backfire, were branded enemies of the state.
It is against this background that Dubravka Ugrešić resurrected the idea for the Lexicon. In 1997 she was lecturing at the University of Amsterdam. Her class consisted of students from different parts of the former Yugoslavia. Inspired by her lectures, two of her students decided to start a website dedicated to the Lexicon. They invited all former Yugoslavs to share their memories and join them in an attempt to collect as much commonplaces of Yugoslav popular and everyday culture as possible. Reactions began to pour in, Yugoslavs from all over the world sent in their contributions, and within a few years several hundred entries were collected, covering a wide range of Yugoslav everyday-life features, varying from pop-music and consumer issues to ideology. The numerous, often very amusing, reactions to the website made it clear that there is after all a strong need for articulating the collective Yugo-memory.
In the spring of this year, Dejan Krsić, who in the meantime became the driving force behind the Zagreb independent publishing house 'Arkzin' contacted Vladimir Arsenijević, one of Belgrade's leading young writers, and they decided to publish the Lexicon, using the entries collected over the years on the website as the main body of text. The Lexicon will be published jointly by 'Arkzin' in Zagreb and the Belgrade publishing house 'Rende' by the end of this year, with a preface written by Dubravka Ugrešić. Thus a twelve- year old idea will finally be realised, and a precious and exciting part of the shared Yugoslav cultural heritage will be preserved.
Compared with the cover price, the production costs of Central and East European journals are often too high. The cover price should be raised, but publishers are hesitant to take such measures because they fear – not without reason – that their reading public will decrease. If, however, they could offer subscriptions at a cheaper rate, the risk would be diminished, while their source of income will improve. Larger numbers of loyal subscribers are a guarantee for the continuing existence of journals.
The CEEBP offers quality journals a gradually decreasing three-year subsidy to cover the difference between subscription rate and cover price. In this manner, the CEEBP will finance the lower subscription rates. The subsidy will decrease from 100 percent of the difference (first year), to 70 percent (second year) and then to 40 percent (third and last year). Until recently, such a scheme was offered only for library subscriptions. The new set-up is meant for individual subscribers, too. The support will include money to be used for promoting subscriptions.
The CEEBP also encourages journals to find a new public via the Internet. Journals can apply for support to develop a new website or improve the existing site, as well as for assistance in defraying the costs of using a server or computer equipment. Electronic publishing offers opportunities for promotion, distribution, redesigning the lay-out, reducing printing and distribution costs, and attracting advertisers.
The editor of the Belgrade monthly Alexandria is very enthusiastic about the effect of his website, which has been up and running for about a year. New readers and advertisers are being attracted, visitors are offering articles and manuscripts that may be of interest to him, and through the website, all kinds of national and international contacts are being made. Other magazine publishers, such as the Hungarian BUKSZ, have similar experience.
The project, developed and run in cooperation with the CEEBP, has proved to fill a significant gap in the distribution of quality books and journals in Slovakia. Since its launch in October 2000 by the IndexAssociation of Independent Publishers with a quarterly catalogue, the Index Book Club acquired more than 1500 members. Each catalogue presents the books of 40 publishers, which is twice as high as the originally estimated number of participants. The number of periodicals presented in the catalogue has risen from ten to twenty since the first issue. The response of the Slovak reading public is very favourable. The Book Club members have ordered four times more books and journals than expected, while the number of books sold through traditional channels remained the same.
In the past months, more than twenty-five publishers took part in an intensive training programme, consisting of seminars on strategic planning in publishing, marketing, management, legal aspects of publishing, authors' right and copyright, on financial matters, and courses in computing and efficient use of information technologies in publishing. The seminars, which were followed by expert on-site consultations, tailored to the needs of individual publishers as well as to the needs of the Index Association, have visibly improved the professional standard in publishing and distribution practice.
According to the surveys conducted after each seminar, publishers regard the workshops and the on-site consultations as highly useful and stimulating. The demand for on-site consultations has been especially high, while the publishers requested extended seminars on both the old and new topics, such as on new technologies in publishing. The project management is examining the possibility of a permanent schooling for publishers, which does not exist in Slovakia as yet.
In March, the Slovak project director and his colleague, the director of the Index distribution, came to the Netherlands for a working visit during the national Book Week. The CEEBP arranged a visit to the highly advanced book distribution centre Centraal Boekhuis and to a modern printing company, and meetings with Dutch associations of publishers, as well as with individual publishers and booksellers. Furthermore, meetings took place with the Marketing Research Foundation of the Royal Dutch Book Trade Association, and the staff of Netherlands Literary Production and Translation Fund who run a programme stimulating library subscriptions to literary journals.
The project is co-financed by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the OSI Center for Publishing Development in Budapest, and local sponsors.
In April 2001, the CEEBP awarded 52 grants to publishers in Albania, Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Yugoslavia (including one in Kosovo). Grants were allocated for fifteen books and eight periodicals (three of which were for equipment and websites), while four book publishers received a grant for equipment and websites.
The grants for books were allocated for eleven West-East translations, for three East-East translations, and one book in the original language. Furthermore, twenty-three grants were awarded for translations within the framework of the Balkan History Programme, matching funds for publications in Romania with the (Soros) Fundatia Concept .
In Bulgaria, Fakel Expres published the translation of Solomon Volkov's Conversations With Joseph Brodsky: A Poet's Journey through the Twentieth Century. The book, which appeared in the original Russian in 1997 and a year later in an English translation, contains a compilation of more than fifteen years of dialogue. Volkov, who had earlier written books about the Russian composer Shostakovitch and about the cultural history of St. Petersburg, proved to be a stimulating partner for Nobel Laureate Brodsky.
In their long conversations, recorded and later edited, Brodsky expressed his thoughts about his personal life, his love of poetry and his native city Leningrad. For the first time, the Russian poet described for public consumption his detention in a mental asylum, his exile in the North, his imprisonment and subsequent emigration to the United States. A number of dialogues are devoted to the poets Brodsky admired: Frost, Auden, Lowell and the Russian poets Pushkin, Tsvetaeva and Akhmatova. Volkov's book was published after Brodsky died from a heart attack in January 1996 at the age of fifty-five. The dialogues give readers the impression that they still can hear Brodsky thinking out loud.
The Last Window Giraffe by the young Hungarian writer Peter Zilahy (b. 1970) became immensely popular when it appeared in 1998. The funny title refers to a children's dictionary which was called Window-Giraffe (Ablak-Zsiráf). The children's Window-Giraffe presented in simple words a world, where everything is in order and problems are always solved. Zilahy mixes his observations of the anti-Milošević protests in Belgrade in the winter of 1996 with his childhood memories in communist Hungary.
He writes in a quasi-naive playful way, explaining things from A to Z. The book was adapted for radio drama in Hungarian and German and was made into a multimedia project in four languages: English, German, Serbian and Hungarian. The CD uses sounds and videos from the seventies and eighties, plus the music and archives of the anti-Milošević protest. The Bulgarian edition, by Polis, has recently been published in book form, nicely illustrated with drawings, pictures and cartoons.
Vesna Goldsworthy's study Inventing Ruritania: The Imperialism of the Imagination, published in Serbo-Croat translation by the Belgrade publishing house Geopoetika, examines the perceptions, ideas and images of the Balkans in Western literature and the entertainment industry of the 19th and 20th centuries. The book, written in the spirit of Imagining the Balkans by Maria Todorova, attempts to explore how this imagery has influenced Western attitudes and policy towards the region.
Analysing a wide range of British literary sources, from Bram Stoker' s Dracula and Anthony Hope's Ruritania, to works of Lord Byron, Graham Greene, and George Bernard Shaw, the author argues that the negative images of the Balkans they created by projecting their national, religious and sexual fears have held sway over public opinion, and are still transmitted by the Western entertainment industry. She concludes that the images ensuing from these works not only misrepresent the region but have also resulted in its literary, economic and political exploitation. Goldsworthy's book has been praised for its perceptive analysis and criticised for its fashionable tendency to politicise literary studies.

DCU student Ross Taheny has been nominated for Colleges and Universities International Third Level Football Player of the Year.
The Ballinamallard United defender says that being nominated for such a highly regarded award is right up there with the finest moments of his career.
"I'm absolutely delighted, playing for your country is always going to be the highest honour for me, personally, so for me to be nominated for player of the year at an international level tops off a fantastic few years of college football," Taheny told The College View.
The young man, who is currently studying for his Bachelor of Education degree in DCU, is also playing for his club team at the top level of Northern Irish football and representing his college at the top level also.
The Mallards, Fermanagh's only professional team, currently sit bottom of the NIFL Premiership, but Taheny's spirit for the game is unbreakable, and he illustrated that he enjoys football most of all.
"Placement involves long, tiring days and looking at the laptop for hours each evening," he said. "So the football is a great way for me to get a break and enjoy myself".
Obviously not opposed to being kept busy, he also lends a hand to the DCU 'C' team, who are based on the St. Patrick's Campus in Drumcondra (where Taheny conducts the majority of his studies).
This attitude differs to that of many student athletes, who seriously struggle to balance their studies and their sport, but he made it clear he appreciates every opportunity he gets to be involved in football.
"Being involved with the DCU senior team was great, as the training and games give you time to focus on something other than work placement," he commented. "It's a great chance to meet up with the lads and relax."
His love of the game is as clear in these words as it is on the football pitch itself.
He isn't the only Taheny family member who has had recent sporting success, as his younger sister Erin was recently capped for the FAI Schools Interprovincial team, but this came as no surprise to Ross himself, who reckons his little sister is destined for greatness.
"Erin has a bright future ahead of her," he said. "Whether it'll be football, GAA or athletics is the big question."
Taheny is up for the award alongside UCD's Dáire O'Connor and UCC's Sean McLoughlin.

Liverpool's miracle at Anfield voted best comeback ever despite Spurs heroics in Amsterdam
SunSport poll reveals Tuesday night's 4-0 win against Barcelona was even better than the Miracle of Istanbul and United's Treble-winning victory in 1999
By Tom Sheen
Updated: 9 May 2019, 14:58
LIVERPOOL'S incredible 4-0 win over Barcelona on Tuesday night has been voted the best Euro comeback ever by fans.
That was despite stiff competition from Tottenham after Lucas Moura completed a stunning hat-trick against Ajax with the latest goal in European Cup/Champions League history.

The Brazilian sent Spurs to an all-English final in Madrid by scoring a 96th-minute winner in Amsterdam.
Although Spurs fought back from three goals down, fans voting in a SunSport poll judged the night before was even more dramatic.
Barcelona had dominated the first leg and took what appeared to be an insurmountable lead to Anfield.
But Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool played the game to perfection, never letting their foot off the gas to beat Barcelona into submission.
That win has now been voted the best ever comeback after grabbing 37 per cent of the vote.
In second place was Spurs' dramatic win, which received 22 per cent of votes.
Surprisingly, that 3-2 win came ahead of Sir Alex Ferguson's greatest triumph - Manchester United winning the Treble in Barcelona in 1999.
Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer scored two late goals as United beat Bayern Munich 2-1 to win the competition.
That comeback gathered 20 per cent of the vote.

Barcelona's epic 'remontada' against Paris Saint-Germain also stuck in the memory - getting 12 per cent of votes.
PSG had won the first leg 4-0 but Neymar's 91st-minute penalty and a 95th-minute winner from Sergi Roberto sent Barca through in 2017.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's biggest win this season, the 3-1 turnaround in Paris, gathered only five per cent of votes.

When we hear the words 'offshoring testing services' mentioned in conversation it's often met with a recoil of slight horror. A depiction of cost savings at the expense of quality, a trend which began in the 90's when companies began migrating call centres and back office services to the likes of India and later the Philippines. At some point, most of us will have encountered so called 'customer service' from early offshore operators.
Cheaper, faster methods of communicating with the world, coupled with increasing pressure on businesses to "tighten belts" and save money, continue to drive this popular movement. Offshore testing and quality assurance is now offered as 'a no brainer' solution. Indeed, when premium options are out of reach, sending testing and quality services overseas is practical and tempting. However, even after many years there are still conflicting opinion as to whether offshoring truly provides clients with value for money.
So, is offshoring the bad idea?
There is no straight forward answer here, each business has a different set of requirements and principles. However, it's safe to say that like its development counterparts, offshore testing teams have come a long way in recent years and continue to be a viable option. If everyone had the option of premium, I have no doubt that there would be a lot of Rolls Royce drivers. Similarly, in the car industry many manufacturers that were known for developing inferior products, have listened, learned, and grown from their mistakes to become household brands. Offshore testing teams have also learned from past experiences and continue to rapidly improve their offerings. Perhaps any lingering stigmas are associated with poor previous experience?
My name is Elliott Caldwell and I am a Test Manager with over 15 years' experience in many leading organisations. Working with Integral, I am now part of a dedicated and highly skilled team who focus on developing high-value products for our clients. We understand that clients want to receive great service at a competitive price. Having worked in teams onshore and offshore, here are a few 'words of wisdom' before making your choice.
How do you define 'success' from the offshore testing?
What skill sets will be needed in the offshore team?
How efficient are our onshore processes and how transferable are they?
Ensure that the relationship is partnership driven between both parties. By ensuring that the offshore team is empowered to bring fresh ideas and alternative strategies to the table will result in a closer working relationship end help to ensure that the testing is as effective as possible.
Good communication techniques. It's always harder to have open discussions on the phone but this can be alleviated by video conferencing if possible. An effective phone manner and an understanding of the culture of the offshore team is also essential. Many offshore teams are reluctant to volunteer their own ideas and thoughts at times, as a leader you need to give them the opportunity and encouragement to do so.
Make the most of the parallel hours. the golden hours where both the onshore and offshore teams are working are the best time to work through questions and issues that have arisen over the previous evening. Ensure that you have regular meetings during this time to discuss any issues and question and confirm that both teams are working together.
Ensure enough resources have domain knowledge as well as testing knowledge. It is a lot harder to teach new technology to a team when they are not being trained in person, it is even harder if they do not have an understanding of the domain that you are testing. While it may not be possible to have all team members experienced, by ensuring that there is a core group that do will allow the transition of knowledge to progress quickly.
Expect some backward steps at times. I have never yet worked on a program where all testing goes to plan. This will also apply to testing that is being completed offshore. By recognising that strategies are sometime not as effective as we would like, or that mistakes do happen, will allow for faster resolution to issues and a closer more trusting relationship.
Conduct regular joint reviews. Note these are not 'witch hunts'! It is important to review the testing on a regular basis to assist in improving efficiency and effectiveness of the process. This should be conducted by both onshore and offshore however to ensure that both teams have the opportunity to share their thoughts.
Needless to say, with the right approach, collaborative effort and good communication, offshoring your testing can have results that surpass your expectations and totally change you preconceived perceptions.


Originally published in the News Star and the Shreveport Times on Sunday, April 23, 2017.
Q: By my estimate I'll have nearly $1,500,000 saved by the time I retire in twelve years. Is that enough to retire on?
A: Remind me…where in Monroe is the state capital located?
Sometimes a perfectly good question can be completely messed up by faulty assumptions.
Retirement planning is a relatively new thing. A hundred years ago, life expectancy for males was not even 50. Today, men that reach age 65 can count on living an additional 17 years on average. It's about 20 for women.
By the end of the second world war, larger employers offered pensions to retiring workers. These monthly "income for life" guarantees were great for retirees and not too expensive for employers. Retirees didn't live long back then.
By the time leisure suits had come and gone, life expectancies began to soar, retirees were living longer and corporate America was finding that funding pension plans was getting downright costly.
Enter the 401K plan. Originally conceived as a way to supplement retirement income, corporate America quickly adopted it as its sole retirement option for employees, thus shifting the financial burden of retirement from their balance sheets to retirees' pocket books.
If I asked you, "How much is your Social Security worth?" any answer other than "I have no idea!" would probably be answered in a monthly income amount. "$1,500 per month," for example.
But you can't live on a lump sum. Well, you can, but it'll be short life. Somehow, you've got to translate that into a monthly income figure. And until you actually try to do that, you won't realize how difficult it really is to do.
You could just take your lump sum and simply begin spending it. But do you know how long it will last? Will you run out of money before you run out of time?
Or you can put it in the bank and just spend the interest. Do that math and you'll see you won't be doing much of anything in retirement on that plan.
You can try to invest it and just live off what it makes each year. That's the plan many are attempting to do these days…mostly for lack of any other coherent option. But again, that's one of those things that looks easy to do on paper (or read in a book), but when it comes to accomplishing that task in real life….well, reality sets in.
If the stock market did grow at 12% per year (each and every year) you could withdraw 8% annually and be just fine. Unfortunately for all of us here in the real world, that's not the way life happens.
The long-term average is not as important as your personal year to year experience. If you happen to withdraw money from your account at a time the market is down, the money you spend can't "come back." It's gone. And so may be your account if you overspend from your account.
These days there isn't a single "do this and you'll be fine" solution to the issue of retirement income. A customized combination of solutions is usually what is called for.
Our state capital is in Baton Rouge. Home runs are hit in baseball. Broccoli and cabbage are vegetables.
And retirement readiness is measured in incomes, not lump sums.

He's changed, what should I do?
I met this guy on Tinder. We live in the same city but have both been away from the city for a few months so we haven't been able to meet yet. We get on VERY well so we agreed that we'd both like to keep talking, and go on a date when we're home. I'm back in the city now and he's back in a month.
He works LONG days and he sleeps at weird hours. So every day I would leave it to him to message me first. I didn't want to message him while he's really busy or sleeping and end up waking him up. After month or 2 he brought that up to me. He felt like he was the one showing all of the interest in talking. I apologised and promised that'd change. Now it's suddenly flipped. I'm the one always messaging first. In fact, I've left it almost a month since he left my last message on read and I've heard nothing from him at all! Which feels strange considering how we were talking all day, every day.
I don't know what to do. Do I reach out and ask what's going on somehow? Or let him come to me?
