Kosovo Media Highlights
Upon return from Berlin where he met German Chancellor Angela Merkel as well as other senior officials, Prime Minister of Kosovo Ramush Haradinaj said the visit has given an impetus to visa liberalisation as Germany's support can also encourage other countries to support the process.
He also said that Kosovo's relations with Germany have risen to a new level and denied the border changes idea being discussed in his meetings in the German capital.
"The Berlin meeting closed the topic of territories and this was not picked up on this occasion and will not be discussed any more", Haradinaj said. He noted that Chancellor Merkel did not ask him to rescind the tariff on Serbian imports and that this should not be seen as an obstacle to continuation of dialogue.
Speaking at the Globsec conference in Slovakia, President of Kosovo Hashim Thaci said the dialogue should continue unconditioned.
"I reiterate one more time that Serbia must implement the agreements and obligations taken upon, weather in the energy sector or in the IBM. Also, not to hinder the Serbs in the North to functionalise the bridge which is dividing the city and its people," said Thaci as quoted in a statement issued by his office. He also said that Kosovo on its part will fulfill obligations under the 2013 Brussels Agreement.
"At the same time, Serbia must not prevent Kosovo's ethnic Serbian citizens to participate at the team writing the statute of the responsibilities we took upon ourselves in Brussels," he said adding that the opportunities for continuation of dialogue were also discussed in debate with Montenegrin President Milo Djukanovic and Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic.
"The debate with Presidents Djukanovic and Vucic was, I think, in the spirit of a discussion, a search for dialogue continuation opportunities, overcoming of obstacles and difficulties which condition the dialogue and to be able to achieve a final, historic and comprehensive agreement which will conclude with a mutual recognition between the state of Kosovo and Serbia. Irrespective of critics and skeptics, the dialogue has no alternative."
At the same time, online media are quoting Thaci as accusing Serbia of hindering dialogue. "We want an agreement with Serbia that would bring mutual recognition, without borders along ethnic lines. We want an agreement that would bring a UN membership for Kosovo and the recognition of five EU states, including Slovakia," he said.
"I believe this agreement can be reached this year," Thaci stressed adding: "However, an agreement cannot be achieved with all this obstructive approach from Serbia." He said the Paris Summit will be a very good opportunity to make concrete steps towards renewal of dialogue.
The U.S. Ambassador to Serbia, Kyle Scott, told Belgrade paper Danas that a frozen conflict between Kosovo and Serbia is not an option that brings stability and that the U.S. support the EU-facilitated dialogue and wants to see the parties return to the negotiating table.
"We now have a type of a frozen conflict whereby the negotiating process is truly frozen and nothing is happening towards an agreement being achieved," Scott said.
He added that the U.S. has made it clear from the outset that it considers Kosovo's import tariff on Serbia not to be useful and an obstacle to the resumption of talks.
"The customs tax shows the difficulties of progress in a situation of mutual mistrusts between the conflicting parties. At the same time, efforts to shift the responsibility of the inability of an agreement being reached to Berlin, Paris, Moscow, Brussels, Washington, or Beijing, is not the right approach," the U.S. diplomat said.
Serbian Foreign Minister, Ivica Dacic, is quoted by Tanjug as saying that there will be no Paris Summit in July if the government of Kosovo gives no signals about lifting the tax on Serbian products. Dacic said that the German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the French President Emmanuel Macron will not allow Prime Minister of Kosovo Ramush Haradinaj "to lead them by the nose."
Dacic said Serbia will be ready to engage in dialogue the moment authorities in Pristina lift the tax. "We are ready for compromise, we want an agreement. If the other side doesn't want this, we cannot go against national and state interests," he said.
Rexhep Selimi, Vetevendosje MP, said in an interview with KTV that the border change option has not been entirely taken off the table of negotiations as presidents of Kosovo and Serbia, Hashim Thaci and Aleksandar Vucic, are continuing to meet.
"For as long as presidents of Serbia and Kosovo don't give up on the plan, we cannot afford to be comfortable. In the declarative aspect there have manipulations on the part of Thaci until now but we cannot allow this plan to be implemented," Selimi said.
European Union ministers are expected to discuss the future of the enlargement process at their upcoming meeting on 18 June in Luxembourg, Koha Ditore reports.
It says the only dilemma of the meeting is whether it will give a green light for accession negations to begin with Albania and North Macedonia because as far as Kosovo is concerned, it is more or less certain what message will come out of the meeting as the draft conclusions have already been prepared.
EU ministers are expected to reaffirm their criticism over the level of organized crime and corruption in Kosovo as well as politicisation of public services. They will hail Kosovo Assembly's adoption of certain legislation and will also call on the revocation of the import tariff on Serbia to pave way for progress in normalisation of relations.

National Photography Month: The Cabinet Card Phenomena
Acting Out: Cabinet Cards and the Making of Modern Photography
Edited by John Rohrbach
Closing out our National Photography Month spotlights, UC Press is excited to preview our forthcoming release Acting Out, the first ever in-depth examination of the cabinet card phenomena. Co-published in association with the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, a leader in American photography, this exhibition and accompanying catalogue reveal how photography studios and their sitters across the United States introduced immediacy to studio portraiture and transformed their sessions into avenues of fun and personal expression.
Miss Nikodem, Chicago, IL [Cat], 1880s Albumen silver print Robert Jackson Collection L2018.43.103
Cabinet cards were America's main format for photographic portraiture throughout the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Standardized at 6½ x 4¼ inches, they were just large enough to reveal extensive detail, leading to the incorporation of elaborate poses, backdrops, and props. Inexpensive and sold by the dozen, they transformed getting one's portrait made from a formal event taken up once or twice in a lifetime into a commonplace practice shared with friends. By making photographs an easygoing fact of life, the cards forecast the snapshot and today's ubiquitous photo sharing.
Alfred U. Palmquist and Peder T. Jurgens, St. Paul, MN, [Skater] 1880s, albumen silver print, Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth, Texas, P2016.111
Full-color plates include over 100 cards at full size, providing a highly entertaining collection of these early versions of the selfie and ultimately demonstrating how cabinet cards made photography modern.

The exhibition is tentatively scheduled to open at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in August, followed by a showing at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in 2021.

I would like to start this blog by quoting Lasse, who was there with me that day when Tina and Marin got married.
This is one of those days when you wish you could put moments like these in a glass bottle and open it every time when you feels sad, because it's going to give you so many happy memories and joy.
I love photographing styled wedding shoots (stay tuned on the blog! 😉 ), because it gives me a chance to share my creativity and serve as an inspiration for future brides when it comes to planning their own wedding day.
So when I was looking for a couple who would like to pose for me that day, I got to Tina and she happily accepted.
And so they did! 🙂 They got married in their own unique, romantic way in an old villa, beside the sea, overlooking beautiful Opatija and stunning Croatian islands. Emotional and slightly shaking, they opened their hearts to each other in a completely new way and promised each other eternal love and support!
I am so grateful that I could be there to document their story! To capture all those emotions, because moments like these remind me, over and over again, why I'm in love with my job and why I have started at the first place!


De la douceur, du rire, et de l'émotion (surtout le marié!!), étaient les maîtres mots de cette journée.
Les mariés étaient sur leur petit nuage, pour ce jour de rêve inoubliable!!!
Does your site have a contact page? I'm having trouble locating it but, I'd like to send you an e-mail. I've got some recommendations for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great website and I look forward to seeing it grow over time.
Hi there! I realize this is sort of off-topic but I had to ask. Does running a well-established website such as yours require a large amount of work? I am brand new to writing a blog but I do write in my journal daily. I'd like to start a blog so I will be able to share my personal experience and thoughts online. Please let me know if you have any kind of ideas or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!
What's up to all, how is everything, I think every one is getting more from this web page, and your views are good in support of new people.

The school has an active role in the community supporting local events and raising money for different charities. Each year the Pupil Leadership Team identifies different charities to support and throughout the year all of their fundraising efforts go towards these charities.
So far in the 2016-17 school year, the Pupil Leadership Team have chosen to support Children in Need, Anode (with a foodbank collection at Christmas) and Red Nose Day.
2015-16 the Pupil Leadership Team have chosen to support a local charity ANODE. This charity supports families in the local community to ensure that they have the basic provisions for living. They provide food parcels, furniture such as beds and all sorts of advice that can support families in getting the right help at the right time.
Our 2013-14 chosen charity was Shelterbox.
2012-13 saw us supporting Rowcroft again after they supported one of our staff's family. They told us about the love, care and attention that Rowcroft had shown in caring for someone who was terminally ill. We raised £125 from carol singing at Sainsbury's and £200 from collections at the Christmas Plays. The staff also supported this charity by raising over £1300 by taking part in the Sleepwalk in their pyjamas!
Our 2011 charity was Shelterbox as we wanted to support the Rotary in their work as they are marvellous in supporting our school. Our fundraising managed to purchase a complete box which will be sent to people who need it.
In 2010 we chose Marie Curie after they supported one of our families. They were very pleased to receive a cheque for £800.
In 2009 the school supported Rowcroft, our local hospice, as a fundraising branch was being set up in the local area. On this occasion we managed to raise £2300 through a variety of events organised by the pupils and staff.

>> this is "bbc world news america." funding of this presentation is made possible by the freeman foundation, and kovler foundation, pursuing solutions for america's neglected needs. >> wow, that is unbelievable. ' >> im flying! ♪ >> stay curious.
♪ [appuse] >> and now, "bbc world news." jane: this is "bbc world news america." reporting from washington, i am jane o'brien. backing a brexit delay -- british lawmakers ask for an extension to the march deadline for withdrawal.na republicans serve up a rare public rebuke of president trump, voting against his use ol a natimergency to build a border wall. and beto o'rourke makes it official, joining the presidential race. but can the rising drat turn enthusiasm into votes?
welcome to our viewers on public television in the u.s. and around the globe. for the third day running, british mps have juggled high-stakes with high drama, and once again the outcome is anything but clear. tonight they voted to approve the government motion to delay brexit beyond the planned mah 29 deadline. that was the date the u.k. waspp ed to withdraw from the eu. this is the moment the results were announced. >> ayes to the right, 412. the nos to the left, 202. ayes to the right, 412! the nos to the left, 202! ayes he it. ayes have it. jane: the moon means theresa may can ask the eu to postpone brexit by three months or longer.
the timing depends on whether she can get backing for her brexit plan, which has already been rejected twice. but any delay has to be agreed by the other eu member states. 27it was some of the reaction from today's vote. >> there are now two options. one is to vote for the deal, get it through, leave in an orderly way. the second is a long delay. >> for the last few days have also put a responsibility on th. prime minist first, to publicly accept the both her deal and no deal are simply no longer viable options. jane: all eyes turn to next week whenps will be asked once again to back theresa may's deal, and crucial summit of european leaders on thursday could determine how long brexit can be delayed. our deputy politicalto ejohn pienaar looks at how the next stages might play out.
her defeats, all her concessis, will pave the way to a deal. fear of a long delay, possibility of being tied into eu rules, and fear of the referendum will persuade and scare mps into backing her deal? some legal guidance from the attorney general that the u.k. might be able to break with eu rules if britain feels tra rebels claimlp down, too. if she wins, it will be a triumph. britain will begin the even tougher task of discussing the future aftermarexit, even if tory mps and ministers say quietly that will be a job for a hw prime minister, that mrs. may's time me all but run out. jane: for more on the latest spoke tovelopments, i david corn. even if all the countries agreed to this, how would any delay to brexit make a difference?
week. jane: david, why would mps change theirinds at this point having rejected it twice? david: that is anoer good question. she lost by 149 votes 48 hours ago. can she change 75 minds in a matter of days? itta looks a ver ask. she is relying on brexiteers, people who want to leave the european union, hardliners iny, her own part thinking that this is the nearest thing to brexit they are going to get because ithey don't get a short extension, they will have to waia year for brexit, and then as she puts it is either her deal or no brexit. oe hopes she will be able get that through next week. lookineat tonight's vote, only got tonight's vote with the help of opposition mps. she will n be able to rely on them actually. -- next week.
too much power, and therefore you divide power among threech br of government, and cap -- and congress has the money t, spend moot the president. this is a directebuke to congress' vwer. it will y hard for anyone to win a case when it only does the president do this over the objection of congress, they then have these votes. this will give court cases a lot of power. jane: isn't it also republicans rebuki not just the measure, but president trump's signature policy, th wall? i mean, that is pretty stunning, surely. elisabeth: yes, there is a couple other votes as well. it is not a massive group of republicans -- it was 12 republicans in the s-- but it was more than we were expecting.av wealso seen on the hill in recent weeks that they haveai voted t trump -- against the war powers resolution.
the el niño effect.d they inves00 billion of the time and the department later investigated and found that of mo than $80 million and we are suffering the consequences. will: you have got to admit the timing is very strange, very suspect. you returned from a regional tour and allf a sudden the lights go out. the united states does have a record of doing this in latin america -- guatemalachile, cuba, panama. is washington behind this? mr. guaido: that would be to reduce the conflict intoin somethat is not happening. i don't know about those cases you are referring to in latin america. thato -- what io know is in venezuela for 10 years from $100 billion was stolen from the electrical systere will: is youtionship with the trump administration causing problems with legitimacy? you have the backing of elliott abrams, marco rubio.

A religious buzz in the Windy City
http://www.NewsAndOpinion.com | CHICAGO This town was multicultural before "multicultural" was cool. It's a city of neighborhoods," with Greektown, Chinatown and now "Little Village," where a not-so-little community of immigrants from Mexico thrives.
One guidebook notes that sometimes it seems there are more Irish in Chicago than in Dublin. There are enough Poles in Chicago to make up one of the largest cities in Poland. Italians and Lithuanians are here in abundance, and lately the city has expanded with immigrants from China, Vietnam, Cambodia and Korea. Blacks make up 40 percent of the population. Racial and immigrant prejudice is not unknown. But the buzz in Chicago today is not about race, but religion.
A group of scholars, seizing the moment to be relevant, met the other day at the University of Chicago to find common ground among followers of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. In the age of terrorism, and the fear of terrorism, that's easier said than done. Nevertheless, philosophers, theologians, ethicists and the inevitable lawyers met for three days to talk about how each of the three great religions upholds the sanctity and dignity of human life.
Politics bubbled close to the surface. "The Islamic world has never been under such pressure before," said Seyyed Hossein Nasr, a professor of Islamic studies at George Washington University in Washington, the keynote speaker. "There's a new political equation and it has changed the Muslim mind."
The professor repudiated acts of anti-Semitism and suicide bombings, but - the "but" seems to be important - blamed the press. "If we knew that not all Jews were proud of (the Israeli response to the Palestinian intifada) - and I know rabbis and have Jewish friends who feel this way - the view would be very different. You don't hear these divergent views on CNN or in the New York Times." (The professor obviously doesn't get his copy of the New York Times every day.)
A day later in another part of town, in a small synagogue on Michigan Avenue, Jews gathered for their Sabbath service and in private conversations expressed concern, even alarm, at the growing expression of anti-Semitism in public and private discourse.
An exhibition on Albert Einstein at the Field Museum, showing how anti-Semitism played a major role in the life and times of the genius who set out the theory of relativity, illustrates why the Chicago Jews are concerned. Einstein left Nazi Germany in 1932 aware of its menace for Jews. As an American citizen, he was outspoken in his support for a Jewish state and received an enormous volume of hate mail. The FBI suspected him of Communist sympathies.
Although he made discoveries and developed theories that led to the building of the atomic bomb that ended World War II, he was not allowed to work on the Manhattan Project, which sprang from experiments at the University of Chicago.
But that was a long time ago. Today, Jewish congregants are smarting from a political cartoon in the Chicago Tribune depicting Ariel Sharon in the age-old stereotype of the Jew - the hooked nose, the greedy sneer, wearing the six-pointed Star of David, grasping dollar bills from George W. Bush as though Jews were motivated only by money. The editors of the Tribune apologized, conceding that "the cartoon crossed the lines." The cartoonist who drew it did not.
A visitor wanders through the streets on the eve of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting, prayer and reflection for Muslims, who make up about 5 percent of the population of Chicago. Muslim grocery stores have stocked up on dates for the faithful who follow the example of the prophet Mohammed, who broke his fast at sundown with milk and dates.
"It's the month of friendship, it's the month of light," Iman Senad Agic of the Islamic Cultural Center of Greater Chicago, told the Chicago Sun-Times. Ramadan is about spiritual devotion, inner reflection and self-control. It's about humility and sympathy for others.
Religious faith is intended to guide us to the highest ideals of humanity, and it demonstrates how we fall short when we indulge what the poet called man's inhumanity to man. The conference of scholars at the University of Chicago confronted just that.
"The academic community can be beholden to tradition, almost like a canon," Peder Jothen, a graduate divinity student told the Maroon, the student newspaper. "Sometimes it takes an event like 9/11 to provoke academics on issues like good and evil."
But not just academics. That's true for the rest of us, too.

3432 Policy – Emergencies
Drills:
A. Fire Drills
Students will receive instruction so that in case of fire or sudden emergency they will be able to leave their particular building in the shortest time possible, or take such other steps as the particular emergency demands, and without confusion or panic. Fire drills will be held six times each year.
The superintendent or designee is directed to develop emergency evacuation procedures for each building.
B. Lockdowns
Students will receive instruction so that in the event of the breach of security of a school building or campus; staff, students and visitors will be able to take positions in secure enclosures. A lockdown drill will be held at least once each school year.
C. Evacuations
Students will receive instruction so that in the event the school or district needs to be evacuated, they will be able to leave the building in the shortest time possible and take the safest route possible to another school or facility.
D. Shelter-in-Place
Students will receive instruction so that in the case of a hazardous vapor release that doesn't allow time to evacuate the campus, they will be able to remain inside, and take the steps necessary to eliminate or minimize the health and safety hazard. A shelter-in-place drill will be held at least once each school year.
Annually, at least one drill will be conducted using the school mapping system.
E. Earthquakes
The district recognizes the importance of protecting staff, students and facilities in the event of an earthquake. Facilities will be designed and maintained in a manner that recognizes the potential danger from such an occurrence. Likewise, staff must be prepared to take necessary action to protect students and staff from harm.
The superintendent or designee will establish guidelines and action taken by building principals should an earthquake occur while school is in session.
F. Bomb Threats
The superintendent or designee will establish procedures for action in the event that any threat is received toward the school by telephone, letter, orally or by other means.
G. Emergency School Closure or Evacuation
When weather conditions or other circumstances make it unsafe to operate schools the superintendent is directed to determine whether schools should be started late, closed for the day or transportation will be provided only on emergency routes. Those decisions will be communicated through community media resources pursuant to a plan developed by the superintendent or designee.
H. Pandemic/Epidemic
The district recognizes that a pandemic outbreak is a serious threat that could affect students, staff and the community. The superintendent or a designee will serve as a liaison between the school district and local health officials. The district liaison, in consultation with local health officials, will ensure that a pandemic/epidemic plan exists in the district and establish procedures to provide for staff and student safety during such an emergency.
When an emergency within a school or its surrounding area necessitates evacuation and/or total or partial closure of the schools within the district, staff will be responsible for aiding in the safe evacuation of the students within the endangered school or its surrounding area.
The superintendent will establish procedures for the emergency closure of a building or department.

Q: How to update one field from all documents using POJO in Firestore? I have this Student POJO class:
public class Student {
    private String name, rollNumber;
    private boolean active;

    public Student() {
        //For Firebase
    }

    public Student(String name, String rollNumber, boolean active) {
        this.name = name;
        this.rollNumber = rollNumber;
        this.active = active;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public String getRollNumber() {
        return rollNumber;
    }

    public boolean isActive() {
        return active;
    }
}

This is my database:
student-xxxxx
   -students
       -uid
         - name
         - rollNumber
         - active

There are 100 students, some are active and some are not. I want to make all students not active.
Code:
db.collection("students").get().addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<QuerySnapshot>() {
    @Override
    public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<QuerySnapshot> task) {
        if (task.isSuccessful()) {
            for (DocumentSnapshot document : task.getResult()) {
                Student student = document.toObject(Student.class);
                // How to update???
            }
        }
    }
});

How to update active to false using POJO? Thanks!

A: You can solve this, in a very simple way. Beside the getter, you should also create a setter for your active property like this:
public void setActive(boolean active) {
    this.active = active;
}

Once you have created the setter, you can use it directly on your student object like this:
db.collection("students").get().addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<QuerySnapshot>() {
    @Override
    public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<QuerySnapshot> task) {
        if (task.isSuccessful()) {
            for (DocumentSnapshot document : task.getResult()) {
                Student student = document.toObject(Student.class);
                student.setActive(false); //Use the setter
                String id = document.getId();
                db.collection("students").document(id).set(student); //Set student object
            }
        }
    }
});

The result of this code would be to update the active property of all you student objects to false and set the updated object right on the corresponding reference.

Sorry for my late post. These are the glorious postcard backgrounds I received from Bex.
Both already pretty fabulous and I was so worried I would ruin them. This is what I did before posting one on to Virginia and one to Sam... That yellow fish was what caught my attention most. Then I found a vintage advert on an old newspaper page I had. It read something along the lines of "if fish could read they'd buy this bait"(I don't think they would somehow...) but it tickled me so that's what I went with.
Next up, that brown square looked like a window to me and the woman looked a bit scared. Found a vintage dinosaur comic strip in my box o' bits and it pretty much made itself . The wording all came from a fabulous "Wonderland of Knowledge" encyclopaedia that my partner's Mum gave me... he had told her to charity it! Flipping cheek. It's a treasure trove of gorgeous colour plates and interesting articles.
If you'd like to see the postcards I received - I've blogged them here. Irene and Jazz I couldn't get your blog links from the sidebar to work but if you can let me know them I'll make sure you are linked in my post.
I really enjoyed this challenge, it pushed me out of my comfort zone and I now have huuuuuge respect for purely collage artists. I will play more with collage now I think... but also mixed with paint and ink.
I haven't stopped laughing yet but these are brilliant! I was wondering how my backgrounds had turned out and these are just fab. Love the thought process, love the cards and I need to dig out my old comics now to reassess them!
Am so glad you like them Bex :D I really enjoyed this swap!
I'm loving both and having received the fishy one can tell you they look even better in real life!
