CHARLOTTETOWN – Oct. 19, 2018 – Six bilingual PEI businesses will be travelling to Montreal and Quebec City Oct. 22-26 to try to sell their products or services or to encourage Quebeckers to come visit the Island.
This will be the fifth Quebec sales mission that RDÉE Prince Edward Island has organized. All previous trips have been successful; so far, combined sales have totaled more than $1.65 million.
The 2018 fall mission will feature a few new elements.
According to Maddix, the global intention of both types of participants is to increase their sales and thereby contribute to the provincial economy. For some, an increase in sales could represent the hiring of new staff or even the establishment of a new manufacturing plant.
Thanks to a continued collaboration with Innovation PEI and the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, RDÉE PEI has once again retained the services of the consulting firm Clientis to meet with the Island's participating businesses and to set up business meetings with at least 12 potential Quebec buyers for each participant. Right now, some 80 meetings have been lined up.
Participants must pay 60 per cent of their lodging and transportation costs. All other expenses are covered by the project.
Balles de séchage Charlotte, a business owned by Eva Arsenault that produces ecologically friendly, natural wool dryer balls (to reduce static and soften clothing), is already set up in Montreal but is looking to considerably expand its Quebec sales. Its link to PEI? First of all, the name of its mascot Charlotte comes from PEI's capital, Charlottetown. Secondly, Arsenault, who is originally from the Evangeline region buys all of her wool from MacAusland's Woolen Mill in Bloomfield. At present, her dryer balls are produced primarily in craft quantities but if she can considerably increase her sales, she would set up a production plant on PEI.
Navigate Safety Food Solutions (Alexandre and Maureen Hanley) of Montague will participate to promote its safe food management systems development service (for restaurants and food processing plants). The company also conducts audits and inspections and provides training and coaching.
Kaneshii Vinyl Press (Ghislaine Cormier and Gidéon Banahene) will once again participate in the mission to continue promoting its vinyl record pressing operation.
Angie Cormier, new owner of The Bottle Houses in Cape Egmont, will aim to promote her tourist attraction among tour bus operators. She'll talk to them about her three bottle houses, her flower gardens and her gift shop.
Representatives of the Acadian Musical Village in Abram-Village will visit the same type of operations to convince them to bring busloads of visitors to their dinner-theatres, restaurant, gift shop, art gallery and cultural village.
CUTLINE: Eva Arsenault, center, owner of Les Balles de séchage Charlotte (eco-friendly dryer balls) recently dropped by Wellington to discuss her business plans with Velma Robichaud from the Wellington Rural Action Centre and Robert Maddix, business development officer with RDÉE PEI. She and her son will participate in the Quebec sales mission to hopefully increase their sales, which could in turn lead them to set up a manufacturing plant on PEI.

Indonesia Tech Leader GoTo Acquires a Crypto Platform for $8.4 Million: Report
By August 31, 2022 No Comments3 Mins Read
One of the tech giants in Indonesia – PT GoTo Gojek Tokopedia (known as GoTo) – reportedly acquired local cryptocurrency exchange PT Kripto Maksima Koin for 124.84 billion rupiahs ($8.4 million). The firm said that the agreement aligns with its goal to become "a diverse money management hub."
Despite the negative stance displayed by the country's central bank and some local Islamic organizations, the digital asset sector has become quite popular among Indonesians. According to a Gemini survey, the nation is the global leader in terms of crypto adoption, sharing first place with Brazil.
GoTo Enters the Crypto Universe
Recent coverage by Reuters informed that Indonesia's biggest tech firm – GoTo – purchased 100% of the shares of cryptocurrency exchange PT Kripto Maksima Koin for nearly $8.5 million.
The firm, which raised $1.1 billion in an IPO a few months ago, predicted blockchain technology will play a vital role in the "future of finance." Despite the deal, GoTo did not share any further plans.
PT Kripto Maksima Koin is among the 25 cryptocurrency platforms that obtained licenses from Indonesia's Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency (known as Bappebti).
The interest in cryptocurrency platforms in the country doesn't begin with GoTo. At the end of 2021, the world's largest crypto exchange – Binance – revealed its intentions to collaborate with Indonesia's richest family – the Hartono brothers. Their mutual goal was to establish a digital asset venture in the nation.
A few days later, Binance doubled down on its efforts in Indonesia by partnering with MDI Ventures. The latter is a multi-stage venture capital firm backed by Telkom Indonesia (the country's largest telecommunication provider).
"We are thrilled to name MDI as our latest partner in the region. With their depth of experience in the market, we are confident that we will deliver leading products for users locally," Binance's CEO Changpeng Zhao said at the time.
Record Crypto Adoption Rate
In April this year, the US-based crypto platform Gemini's study estimated that Indonesia and Brazil are the undisputed leaders by means of cryptocurrency adoption. 41% of the questioned residents in both countries admitted they had invested some of their wealth in the asset class.
The high figures come despite the hostile stance some Islamic entities displayed towards the industry. Last November, the National Ulema Council (MUI) said the use of crypto should be banned, citing Shariya law. The organization's leader – Asrorun Niam Soleh – claimed bitcoin and the altcoins are riddled with "uncertainty, wagering, and harm," and that is why individuals should stay away from them.
At the beginning of 2022, the Tarjih Council and the Central Executive Tajdid of Muhammadiyah issued a similar warning, deeming cryptocurrencies as "haram" (or forbidden by God).
Bank of Indonesia is also against the asset class. Several months ago, the institution vowed to "fight" digital assets that allegedly harm the country's financial network by launching a central bank digital currency (CBDC).

Architecture and Sculpture: A Dialogue in Los Angeles
11 March, 2014By Nicholas Olsberg
Sculptural architecture can be moving, monstrous, or just plain arbitrary: a group of exhibitions in LA explores the borderline between the two spatial disciplines
Something about the current flourishing culture of exhibitions in Los Angeles seems to produce clusters of converging ideas. Perhaps it is a matter of volume: there is just enough for a gallery go-er to connect the ideas that might link them; and not so much as to find oneself buried in an encyclopedia. For rather too long, the city has been talking about itself, and it is a relief to find a recent concatenation of shows that, though coloured by local concerns, cast their sights beyond it. One such group of shows, beginning with two installations by Frank Gehry at the County Museum − of Ken Price and Alexander Calder (the latter continuing until 27 July) − raises questions about the instructive but plainly dangerous fascination of architecture for sculpture.
This is an exchange that has been particularly important to Los Angeles, most obviously to the commanding figure of Gehry himself. Gehry's association with sculptors and his observation of their work has been instrumental to his search for more fluent built forms, from the figurative fish of the 1980s through the metaphor of Fred and Ginger in his office tower for Prague to the soaring abstract shell in which he placed his Disney Hall. That plasticity was the natural if oddly controversial theme around which Christopher Mount organised last year's New Sculpturalism (AR August 2013) survey of recent work from the city's architectural studios; and the idea of architecture as sculpture was equally potent 20 years earlier as critics began defining the city's emerging wave of casual composition, in designs that were already suggesting a sense of the incomplete, the mobile and the open-ended.
Frank Gehry's installation of a show of Alexander Calder's sculptures at LA's County Museum
Architecture is instinctively determinist, grounded in the aspiration to be complete, finite, permanent, settled and still; and the key to design has for long been located in what Wright referred to as the uncovering of 'the one big idea' − a single right solution to a complex set of problems. Characterising innovations from Los Angeles in 1992, John Chase pointed to sculpture as a way to free architecture from those constraints, suggesting that when buildings begin to build a formal language on the informal precedents of abstract sculpture and assemblage they can take on the liberating possibility of the indeterminate, making it clear that 'they could just as easily have been put together in other ways'.
That dialogue with sculpture was in fact already ingrained in the city's cultural conversation, visible from the late 1940s through the pages of Arts and Architecture and engaged through the '60s and '70s in all manner of collaborations and forums − as Sylvia Lavin's exhibition at the Schindler House last year showed − as artists and architects taught, talked, and took turns designing or ornamenting each others' homes and studios. It was just as evident in the physical landscape, whether in the whimsical and fragile shapes of the city's roadside and festival architecture; in such work as the converging catenary curves of late John Lautner, who attempted to mould a newly plastic sense of space modelled on shells and caves, the paintings of De Kooning and the sculpture of Brancusi and Arp; or in the paintings hewn from the ground that are Garrett Eckbo's plazas, with their swirling pools, teardrop raised parterres, rough-hewn stele, and kinetic fountains.
The lightweight: sculpture from graphics
One of the most influential of those conversations took centre stage in Deborah Sussman Loves Los Angeles, a recent exhibition of archives at the consistently inventive little street-front gallery run by Woodbury University's school of architecture. Formed in the Eames office, and tested in the commercial signage and landmarking of the city's horizontal streetscapes, Sussman − working with Paul Prejda and the Jerde Partnership − orchestrated the scattered venues of LA's 1984 Olympics into a consistent linking system of environmental graphics. Like Asplund's carnival approach to the 1930 Stockholm Fair, there was a dynamic, simplifying economy to these changing patterns of repeated forms, lines and colours. Like Calder's mobiles or the moving figures and wires of his mechanical circus, they were lightweight, shifty, and instantly readable, both as fundamental forms and as self-evident structures. With television in mind, Sussman carried her language through to every transient feature of the Games, even the runners' starting blocks, capturing in sculptural form the transitory and improvisational character of a cinematic city at every moment the camera turned.
Price and Calder represent two opposing ideal conditions of abstract sculpture. Price is intimate and almost haptic: every piece talks to the sense of touch and the act of shaping. Calder's floating forms are distant and unapproachable, seeming almost unmade and immaterial. Neither are qualities that suit the scale or purpose of architecture, but both triggered a staggeringly beautiful architectural response. Gehry's approach to the Calders placed them, whether hanging or settled, at a perfectly calibrated variety of height, distance from view, and closeness to the background walls. As a result they managed (in Auden's words) both 'to their own edges keep' and engage each other as we moved between them. Even presented without the rotation Calder so often intended they thus and always spoke to motion.
The museum's own designers, in an astonishing feat of lighting, varied the shadows, so that some pieces cast none, others sharp lines, some short soft perspectives, and still others long distorted lines that dissolved and broke the plane of the stands they sat on. In this way each piece both created a field of its own to work upon and showed us the multiple readings its geometry would make if we had moved within it. For the small, still, moulded pieces of Price, Gehry helped us make just such a move, translating the gallery itself into something like the inside of a sculptural form, as if he had cracked open one of the works to find a vast white hollow dream space inside it. One left both shows finding more depth in these artists than one had seen before, but above all begging for life in a city constructed on such magically seductive lines.
Deborah Sussman contributed to the unified architectural scheme for the 1984 Olympics in LA
Indeed I hope it is still possible to admire the fancifully plastic in public architecture − and rejoice in the possibility that fragments of such an ideal city might emerge from those experiments − and yet question the effects of an arbitrary use of sculptural exuberance. In some examples − like Daniel Libeskind's Denver Museum, where a dynamic crystalline shell of sheeting is supported by rigidly conventional and wildly expensive steel scaffolding − the whole economy of design in terms of a coherent relationship between function, shape and structure becomes incomprehensible. In others − as perhaps at Gehry's Disney Hall, whose colossal metal shields are so effective in animating the deadening urban effect of a black box on a hilltop, the design can be unsettling: Disney provides no clear way to read the inside from the out or to make a mental map of its perimeters and pathways. It is interesting that Gehry actually had a drawing made of the possible space within a Ken Price before planning his installation. That is an exercise invited by the near-tactile coloured surfaces of the sculptural objects, but somehow frustrated by the distancing scale and reflective finish of his own hall.
Monsters, colossi and grotesques
Jeffrey Kipnis and Stephen Turk curated a show of grotesque inhabitable monsters at SCI-Arc entitled 'Figure Ground Game', of which this is an installation view
One can be disturbed by such ventures into architecture as abstract sculptural form, but no longer, surely, shocked. What Jeffrey Kipnis and Stephen Turk have orchestrated in the exhibition Figure Ground Game (at SCI-Arc until 2 March) is in often very elegant fashion truly shocking: propositions about the relation of object to field in architecture in which the built forms appear in the form of human and animal figures distorted to monstrous effect. With gleefully provocative vulgarity their sculptural referents leave behind Arp, Brancusi, Calder or Ken Price, forget wave fields, crystals and biomorphs, and turn instead with a courteous nod to John Hejduk toward the figurative language of avatars, of Hellblazer, anime, World of Warcraft, theme park rides, Mike Kelley and Jeff Koons. By recognising the emerging buildability of such latter day colossi and giganti as inhabitable space, a last taboo is broken. We may be no more ready to embrace this endeavour now than when Hermann Finsterlin proposed it in the 1920s, and the show reminds us how dangerous is extravagant fancy in design, and how narrow the tightrope (walked at such projects as OMA's CCTV tower) between the sublimely exuberant and the infernally grotesque.
Figure, field, action, emotion
Nevertheless, the deployment of versions of the human figure as an architectural protagonist answers some lovely and genuinely architectural questions. Kipnis talks of architecture, because it is stable, permanent and will decay, as condemned to emulate tragedy. Here, to the contrary, the posture of the figures suggested both a readiness to disguise or morph themselves in the comic tradition, and the kind of suspended animation that implies they are about to move − something the very different figures of Lautner and Arthur Erickson both regarded as an architectural ideal when they talked of the quest for buildings in a state of 'poise' and 'readiness' − like a dancer en pointe or a predator preparing to strike. Perhaps as a result, these figures do, as sculpture like Gehry's Calders will, shift our sense of their ground, charging and changing the perceived field which they command according to their shapes or falls of shadow.
Luis Barragan's Towers of the Satellite City in Mexico cross the boundaries of sculpture and architecture
The Figure Ground Game, as the show readily acknowledges, brings us very close to Hejduk and his paramythic − indeed tragic − narrative figures and monuments. But it also reminds us of the forgotten figure of Mathias Goeritz, who, with Luis Barragán, attempted to revitalise building as an 'emotional art' by crossing the boundaries of sculpture and architecture to arouse archetypes of feeling. We know this effort best from the coloured towers of Mexico's Satellite City and the monoliths at the 1968 Olympic stadium 10 years later, whose placement and field echo the constellation of the Great Bear, which, in occult learning, is believed to transmit the language of celestial wisdom. But Goeritz and Barragán also used semi-figurative forms at architectural scale and to the same purpose, shaping an animal as guardian at the entrance to the suburb of Pedregal, and a colossal writhing serpent to frame the cityscape of Monterrey. Both are quietly and statically poised to strike. The same motive and emotive forces are what Ugo La Pietra called for in the landscapes of his 'Novo Urbano' in the '60s, imagining a city that would no longer be punctuated by monumental episodes, but organised around gigantic sculptural forms whose presence and shadows infuse the psychic field of the metropolis with emotional resonance.
For his monstrous guardians Goeritz was drawing on the reductive figures of pre-Columbian sculpture and inscription, just as he drew on ancient stone circles and pyramids for his monoliths. There is a sense in which both endeavours end up, like the language of the Mayans, as a form of mapping code or as a repertoire of three-dimensional pictograms. So in many ways do the protagonists in the Figure Ground Game suggest a vocabulary of ideograms or nearly-written forms from which to fabricate an urban landscape. That idea of the city as a text in landscape, like runes on a stone, is brought to light in an exhibition at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Alice Aycock Drawings: Some Stories are Worth Repeating (until 20 April). Many of Aycock's works use building motifs as a calligraphic scheme in which we can trace the deceptions of time − like the arches, arabesques and lotus blooms from cinema marquees that accumulate in the pyramids of her Wishbone Years. Rosetta Stone City, Intersected by the Celestial Alphabet shows writing − like buildings and ruins − as the medium through which times remote from one another converse: a dark perspectival city of tectonic runes at one scale surrounds the gift of a luminous angelic language that has descended at another. Both human and celestial languages are scripts made from architectural forms.
The Rosetta Stone City Intersected by the Celestial Alphabet
Text, movement, time
Aycock has described her built works as 'exploratory situations for the perceiver … known only by moving one's body through them.' That reliance on movement seems to be the great essential of work straddling the boundary between architecture and sculpture. Nowhere is it more evident than in the best known of such works − Maya Lin's Vietnam Veterans Memorial, which unites script and form, uses inscription not only to talk of time by moving readers along its walls, but compels bodily motion too, as visitors are drawn to trace names with their fingers. In works like Reading A Garden at the Cleveland Public Library, Lin goes further, using sculpted texts to 'follow your path … so that words become descriptive of the spaces they inhabit and the spaces are somewhat shaped by the choice of words.' And it is such movement, now in the language of stones alone, that renders Peter Eisenman's Berlin Memorial to the Murdered Jews so effective, as, I am told, the figures seen walking through suddenly disappear, as if, with the millions whom the stone blocks try to remember, they become lost to history.
In capturing that sense of feeling through motion, architecture profits most from its dialogue with sculpture: in things that look ready to pounce or soar, are built with no single point of view in mind, charge a changing field around them, urge the body to move through at will and at a pace of its own choosing, or beg the imagination to construct its secret spaces: evoking, as Goeritz would say, 'the lost architecture of emotion.'

Cosmonauts Release 3-D-printed Satellite
Spacewalking cosmonauts on Thursday set free the world's first satellite made almost entirely with a 3-D printer.
In all, Russians Fyodor Yurchikhin and Sergey Ryazanskiy ended up releasing five nanosatellites by hand. One by one, the tiny craft — no more than 1 to 2 feet in size — tumbled safely away from the International Space Station.
The exterior casing of the first one tossed overboard was made with a 3-D printer. So were the battery packs inside. Researchers want to see how 3-D-made parts weather the space environment.
The 3-D satellite contains regular electronics. It also holds greetings to planet Earth in a variety of languages, courtesy of students at Siberia's Tomsk Polytechnic University, where the satellite was made.
The other satellites deployed Thursday have traditional spacecraft parts.
Each weighs just 10 to 24 pounds. They're expected to orbit for five to six months.
One commemorates the 60th anniversary of the world's first satellite, Sputnik 1, launched October 4, 1957, by the Soviet Union. Another pays tribute to Russia's father of rocketry, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky. He was born 160 years ago next month.
The remaining two small satellites involve navigation and other experiments.
Yurchikhin and Ryazanskiy completed the satellite releases within an hour of venturing outside. Barely a minute passed between a few of the launches. The rest of their work took longer than expected, however, and Russia's Mission Control outside Moscow sent the planned six-hour spacewalk into overtime. It ended up lasting 7½ hours, and the cosmonauts said their hands were tired. All but one task got done.
"We will have actually some grounds to get drunk today, I think," one of the cosmonauts joked in Russian. A flight controller replied that he'd do it for them.
The cosmonauts collected science experiments from outside their 250-mile-high home, and wiped thruster residue from various surfaces for analysis. Three Americans and one Italian also live on the space station.

Дамлонг (), реже Иль-Плат () — остров, расположенный в 54 км от побережья Камбоджи. Остров относится к провинции Кампонгсаом. Дамлонг, Муй, Пий и Туть вместе с близлежащим островом Танг (остров) образует одноимённый архипелаг. Наряду с островами Принг и Пуливай, Дамлонг и соседние острова были арендованы российским предпринимателем Сергеем Полонским для создания проекта «Архипелаг» и развития туризма на островах Камбоджи.

География
Остров сложенный коренными породами, плоский по форме покрыт непроходимыми джунглями. Основная часть побережья острова образована скальными породами, в западной части острова есть небольшой пляж. В 1,3 км на запад расположен остров Туть, в 2,2 км на север — остров Танг. Восточнее располагаются два острова — Кох Муй и Кох Пий, расположенные в 6,2 и 7,4 км соответственно.

История
Остров Дамлонг, также как и соседние острова сильно пострадал во время Вьетнамской войны. 12 мая 1975 года американское торговое судно «Маягуэс» (Mayagüez), шедшее в камбоджийских территориальных водах, было остановлено патрульными катерами «красных кхмеров». Это произошло месяц спустя после захвата Пол Потом власти в Камбодже и две недели спустя после окончания войны во Вьетнаме. Корабль был поставлен на якорь, а его экипаж, подозреваемый в шпионаже, впоследствии переправлен на материк.

Администрация США восприняла произошедшее как вызов, брошенный стране после недавнего поражения в Индокитае. Практически сразу был принят курс на проведение военной операции по освобождению экипажа. Американская авиация атаковала все камбоджийские катера, обнаруженные в этом районе, чтобы парализовать сообщение между островом и материком.

В ходе боевых действий на соседнем Кох-Танге погибло 15 и пропало без вести 3 американских военнослужащих (почти все потери понесены на восточном пляже, где были сбиты два вертолёта). Кроме того, 23 американца погибли в катастрофе вертолёта в Таиланде во время подготовки операции. Имена всех американцев, погибших в этих событиях (в том числе в Таиланде), перечислены на стене Мемориала ветеранов Вьетнамской войны в Вашингтоне.

Поселения и инфраструктура
На острове отсутствует какая-либо инфраструктура, так как до недавнего времени он был необитаем. Однако в 2015 году на острове в рамках проекта по развитию туризма на «дальних островах» был построен отель и дайв-центр. В планах по развитию острова планируется создание искусственных рифов, а также подводного музея войны.

It's not even halfway through seven Day 1s, but this year's Goliath Main Event is already on track to be the biggest Goliath yet.
Make sure you have a room! With record numbers attending this year's Goliath, Coventry is filling up. Do make sure you have your hotel accommodation sorted out: as Official Travel Partner, we have lots of great options close to Ricoh Arena.
Players have flocked to the Ricoh Arena for this year's event with 2,228 entries so far across the first three starting flights. This year both day 1A and 1B have seen an increase of over 25% in entry numbers and Day 1c yesterday attracted 650 players, up over 50% on 2016.
There are still four more start flights to go, so it seems likely that the 2017 Goliath will surpass the 6,000 entry mark, earning itself the accolade of becoming the biggest live poker event outside of Las Vegas. 2016 saw a record-breaking 5,232 entries to the Goliath Main Event, creating a prize pool of £523,200 and first prize of £70,000.
The overall chip leader at the moment is Bogdan-Marius Aprodu who faced a giant field of 882 on Day 1a but emerged with a 745,500 stack. Yesterday's Day 1c chip leader was Mark Price with 570,000 while Andrew Dodson was the Day 1b chip leader with 495,000.
Along with Grosvenor Casinos, we advise all those planning to play day 1G on Friday to either pre-register or play another Day 1 if possible. Friday is quickly selling out. We also advise players to make sure they have a hotel room booked.

"Since 1979, Natalini has been working independently on a series of projects for historical cities in Italy and Europe"
Adolfo Natalini was born in Pistoia in 1941. He graduated with a degree in Architecture in Florence in 1966. The same year, he started the Superstudio (together with Cristiano Toraldo di Francia, Gian Piero Frassinello, Roberto and Alessandro Magris), and is now thought to be one of the initiators of the so-called "Architettura Radicale", one of the most significant avant-garde movements during the sixties and seventies.
Since 1979, Natalini has been working independently on a series of projects for historical cities in Italy and Europe. His works include projects for the Römberg in Frankfurt, the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, the bank of Alzate Brianza, the Centro Elettrocontabile di Zola Predosa, the house in Saalgasse in Frankfurt and the Teatro della Compagnia in Florence.
Today, Adolfo Natalini is a professor at the Faculty of Architecture in Florence. Along with Fabrizio Natalini, they started renovations at the University of Florence.
Attention was paid to the seamless combination of several decades of trends in the architecture and design of the building. Along with practical considerations such as durability and efficiency, the flooring had to belong in the styles already present. With a smooth surface with many color options, Mono's Uni allowed the architects to achieve an outstanding visual in the University's library.

Xiamen, island city in Fujian province on southeastern coast, some 350 km northeast of Hong Kong; 3.5 million inhabitants in urban area.
31 Dec 2017: Yannei - Zhenhai Road (30.3 km)

25 Jun 2021: Xiamen Railway Station - Caicuo (26.3 km)
Xiamen Metro (Official Site)
Xiamen Metro at Wikipedia
Craig Moore's impressions in Jan 2018:
Located on a series of islands and coastal inlets, Greater Xiamen is a Chinese tourist hotspot. Whilst topographically quite beautiful, the main urban area is a mass of neon and somewhat 'disney-fied'. The city does, however, boast an impressive new urban rail system. The Xiamen Metro opened on the last day of 2017 and is currently the world's newest Metro. The route of Line 1 runs along the city's principal north-south axis from the port area (Zhenhai Road), and through the main commercial area of Xiamen Island and the busy airport area of Gaoqi. It then crosses the inlet to the mainland, resting on a broad sea wall, offering impressive views on the Jimei skyline and the road and rail bridges at either side. The sea crossing is punctured by a small promontory on which the line's only 'above ground' station is located (Jimei School Village). On the mainland the line meanders through Xinglin and Jimei, calling at Xiamenbei Station before the Yannei terminus. The current line has 29.9km of revenue route (24 stations) with 24.7km of underground running. The line takes 49mins to traverse and services run from 0600-2230 with an 8min base headway, using 6-car CRRC Tangshan stock, powered by overhead catenary. The trains are quite unique, having regenerative breaking which is used to power the system and, given the sea-bridge, are built using anti-corrosive materials.
AMRT, who operate the Metro, have clearly undertaken much promotional activity and the city is very proud of its new line, not least because it provides a rapid cross-sea connection between Gaoqi and Jimei. On the city streets there is signage to the stations and the street entrances immediately provide a clue to the two redeeming features of the system - its high spec/quality and its uniformity. The street entrances have lift access (this is a fully accessible system) and an upward curving roof of Minnan Red and smart grey supports. Stairs and escalators lead to the ticket hall. This space is modelled on the standard layout in China. A broad rectangular space with central access via stairs, lift and escalator to the platforms. At the ends of the space lie the security area, Customer Service Centre (with plentiful hard-copy information), stylish ticket barriers and, along the end walls are banks of ticket machines. These machines are very stylish and modern and dispense blue tokens (fares are distance based at 2-6 Yuan). The side walls have advertisements but also dynamic LCD screens with station location information, train times etc. It is very useful to have this at entrance level and it is the first time I have seen such dynamic screens which changes information on a timed basis. The colour scheme of the walls and pillars at both levels is a very pale brown and this works well with the Minnan Red (Burnt Orange) of the line designator. As it is approaching Lunar New Year, the station halls are also decked with red lanterns. Whilst the pillars and station furnishings make the space a little encumbered, the quality of the fixtures and finish are impressive.
This continues at platform level where uniformity prevails. All stations have island platforms, full screens with tinted glass, crowned with white panelling and strip maps. On reaching the platform level, directional signage is clear and there are vertical directional strip maps on pillars and a smart, back-lit, schematic map on the end walls. The pillars and stair walls have English and calligraphic station names as is now the norm in China. There are RTI screens and platform staff watching over train movements and ensuring passenger safety. These staff are dressed in smart uniforms, males wearing a tie and females wearing smart uniforms akin to airline cabin crew. At Jimei School Village the smart theme continues although there is a pitched ceiling here and the ticket hall leads directly to street level. The view from the end of the platform to the south is impressive as you look along the line as it crosses the inlet.
On the train the theme of quality continues. The pale interior is interrupted by the metallic seats and orange end plates, as well as the orange grab handles (which are too low). Ceiling panel lighting is also tasteful with small squares of lights rather than blaring fluorescence. The LCD displays have high quality animations on how to use the system (in 8 steps – amazing to watch) and lots of promotional, slow-motion footage of engineers, controllers, station staff ensuring the smooth and safe journey. Whilst many systems in China and other parts of Asia have this material, it is the quality that stands out. The electronic and audio information is in Mandarin (Dialect) and English (very high quality correct English) and there are impressive dynamic strip maps above doors and scrolling electronic information at the ends of carriages. Externally, the trains have a black and white frontage, with smart 'V'-shaped lighting around the front screen. The sides are white with orange strip below the windows. The ride is smooth and fast, and station dwell times are not overly excessive. Passenger numbers are not high, even at peak times, but the route does get crowded around Jimei and on the island, at Gaoqi (for the airport), and especially between Lucuo and Lianban.
In summary, apart from the wonderful journey across the sea in the middle of the line, the system itself doesn't have any 'stand out' features and there are few differentiated design elements. Despite this uniformity, the quality of the finish, both at the stations and on trains is very striking and it is this that makes the system jump out. A very impressive Metro.

American Citizenship: Caught Between Creed and Clan
Fact is, one cannot simply make oneself an American. To some extent or another, through birth or naturalization, one becomes an American because someone else did the work.
By Geoffrey M. Vaughan
Our politics is currently overwhelmed with identity. Rights, votes, participation, all understanding of one's place in the country is said to be based on one's "identity." The one identity that people shy away from is that of the American citizen. Who precisely is this person?
The American Constitution speaks in the voice of "We the People," but never defines who that people might be, even if they already existed in 1787, even before the establishment of a "more perfect Union." Who are these Americans? Who, as an individual, is an American?
On the one hand, this is a simple question to answer. There is a legal definition of citizenship based on birth or naturalization, and some people simply are Americans and others are not. It is a matter of paperwork.
On the other hand, it is not so easy to answer, as we can see from the history of this country. Whether someone is a citizen and how that might be defined has been the source of the most contentious controversies. For instance, Dred Scott appealed to his status as a citizen of Missouri to argue for his freedom from slavery. Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Taney, in his infamous decision, denied the possibility of citizenship to Scott and all those whose descendants were forcefully brought to this country – a denial Abraham Lincoln would ferociously challenge.
The Civil War resolved this question in favor of Dred Scott, who died before it started. Yet the problem of what citizenship entails continued. American women were not universally permitted to vote until the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920. And the question of the civil rights of former slaves and their descendants came to a head a full century after the Civil War. The "legal" citizenship of neither group was contested. American women, for instance, were American citizens, but they were citizens who could not vote in most states and were often not even issued their own passports when traveling. What makes someone a citizen?
Two competing answers to that question have been offered since the beginning of the American republic. In the first of the Federalist Papers, Alexander Hamilton proposed that the opportunity before the people of the various states was "to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend for their political constitutions on accident and force." In the words of G. K. Chesterton, the great English author of the early 20th century, "America is the only nation in the world that is founded on a creed." America, Chesterton though, was a "nation with the soul of a church."
John Jay, in Federalist 2, offered a competing idea, which we might describe as "America as a clan." He attributed to divine providence the creation of "a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs, and who, by their joint counsels, arms, and efforts, fighting side by side throughout a long and bloody war, have nobly established general liberty and independence." From this perspective, Americans are a people because of their common history.
The notion that Americans form something like a clan is there in Jay's contribution to the Federalist Papers, and it forms the central idea of Justice Taney's decision (although most slaves, by Dred Scott's time, had been born here, too, because of the constitutional ban on importation). The most compelling argument that America is a clan is that most Americans were born that way. Despite falling birth rates, Americans make more Americans than anyone else does. This is one job that has not been sent offshore. For the vast majority of the population of the country, citizenship is the result of birth and nothing else. It is almost as if the country were an extended family. Yes, it has its branches, but being born to citizenship binds people to one another.
One of the finest reflections upon this idea of an inherited place in the country can be found in Frederick Douglass' speech, "What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?" Douglass began his remarks with praise for the leaders of the American Revolution, but carefully called them "your fathers," as he spoke to the white audience. He referred to himself and his listeners as "fellow-citizens," however. A different paternity did not cut him off from citizenship, but it gave Douglass, a former slave, a different lineage.
Douglass' central charge against America was its hypocrisy: "You glory in your refinement and your universal education yet you maintain a system as barbarous and dreadful as ever strained the character of a nation." On the Fourth, Americans were celebrating a rebellion inspired by "a threepenny tax on tea; and yet wring the last hard-earned farthing from the grasp of the black laborers of your country." Americans were enslaving the people they lived beside, the people who should have been—and eventually would become—members of their clan.
The problem with the clan idea of citizenship is that it is too exclusive, too familial to account for the reality of the country. Americans are not all one happy family, or even an unhappy one. At the time John Jay wrote Federalist 2, there were already deep divisions. There were already many Americans from very different backgrounds; they were not related, and they did not act like they were.
Other countries really are extended families, with most or all sharing some familial or ethnic background. Italians have always lived in Italy, Chinese in China, and so on. The only Americans whose families did not arrive within the last 500 years were here long before—and they were moved aside, often violently, by those whose descendants live here now. Most Americans do not have a legacy of living in this country longer than that. For Hamilton and many like him, the American experiment was and is a matter of "reflection and choice."
Chesterton thought that the creed upon which America was founded was equality. It says so in the Declaration of Independence. Alexis de Tocqueville also thought that the love of equality was important to the country, and to the whole new "age of equality" he foresaw taking root everywhere. But here is the problem with the idea that a nation can be based upon an idea or creed: a creed can be accepted anywhere. Can a specific nation be defined by nothing but an aspiration to universality? Wouldn't that nation be coextensive with the world?
Is anyone who accepts the American creed, whatever it may be, an American? Does the belief in equality make one American? That cannot be true. Millions of people believe in equality but have no connection to this country. Some even proclaimed the truths of the Declaration, however cynically or opportunistically—such as Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam—and still fought a war against America. Whole countries are as committed to equality as is America—even more committed to it—and yet, they are certainly not America. Belief itself does not and cannot make one an American.
The fact is, one cannot simply make oneself an American. To some extent or another, through birth or naturalization, one becomes an American because someone else did the work. This, more than anything else, gives durability to the clan idea of citizenship. You must be born into it or allowed in by those who already hold membership. It is an exclusive if generous club. As Abraham Lincoln put it in his First Inaugural Address, "This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it."
At the same time, though, we cannot say that belief in some sort of American creed is unimportant. To begin with, tens of thousands of people who did not believe in the American Revolution left or were forced to leave. Even the idea of being "un-American," which is based on ideas and actions rather than heritage, suggests that there really is something important about what one thinks when it comes to being American. Just ask the Boston Celtics player who changed his last name to "Freedom" after becoming an American citizen this month.
Is there something between the creed and the clan that can explain what makes someone an American? Yes: that mediating "something" is the Constitution of 1787. Elected officials and military personnel swear to protect the Constitution, not vague ideas or a particular set of human beings.
Hamilton and Jay were both right at the time they were writing. There was a unique opportunity to form a new government by a people united by heritage and experience. But that lasted only a short time and was not unanimously agreed. For instance, a referendum on ratification in Rhode Island rejected the Constitution in March of 1788; New York's ratifying convention passed it in July of that same year by only three votes. Even as "We the People of the United States" decided to form that more perfect union, they were not all in agreement.
Once the Constitution was ratified and this new people started to live by it and under it, however, the Constitution gave meaning to the people—and to citizenship. Americans thus became a constitutional people, a self-governing people under our fundamental or foundational law.
Aristotle observed something like this process over 2,000 years ago. As he explained in the Politics, a political community is a collection of people who share in a constitution, if not necessarily a written one. And in an argument that seemed to surprise even himself, he concluded that a citizen is anyone who participated in the administration of justice and in offices. In other words, a citizen is someone who can take part in the public affairs of the state.
The Constitution of the United States is not merely an idea; it is a way to practice politics, or, to use Aristotle's expression, to administer justice and offices. American citizens are those who participate (or can participate) in that. This is why "citizens" who cannot participate are not really citizens. The contradiction of having groups of people who were clearly citizens but who weren't allowed to act as citizens inspired the 19th Amendment and the Civil Rights Movement, and the possible resolution of that contradiction led Frederick Douglass to conclude in his speech that "the Constitution is a GLORIOUS LIBERTY DOCUMENT."
Douglass was right: the Constitution is a glorious liberty document, but only if people will live by its rules. Living by the Constitution means administering justice and offices, and engaging in the give and take, victory and defeat, of politics as laid out in the Constitution.
An earlier contribution to the 1776 Series makes the point this way:
Whereas in most countries, political argument turns on what citizens demand, in the United States citizens' demands must be filtered through the sieve of the Constitution. It is not enough to want something; it is necessary to show why that something is also constitutionally proper.
To say that something is "constitutionally proper" is more than saying the rules are being followed. The Constitution is a set of rules for the game of politics, but it is more than that. It is a set of rules built on an understanding of human nature, one that accepts that men are not angels and that angels do not govern us, as James Madison put it in Federalist 51. To be constitutionally proper, then, is to be true to our nature as Americans understand it.
Being an American is not simply admiring the Constitution as an idea; nor can it be reduced to choosing one's parents. American identity comes from living through the political institutions of the Constitution. This should be recognized as the primary political identity of Americans—and a most gratifying and humanizing one.
Editor's note: This essay is part of RealClearPublicAffairs' 1776 Series, which explains the major themes that define the American mind.

Being from California, I have gone to Disneyland probably one hundred times – mostly thanks to having an annual pass (when it was cheap!) most of the years I lived in Southern California. I love Disneyland and I wanted Tori to experience the magic there, especially when we were offered tickets from a Team Tori friend! Thank you, Carmela, for your generosity!
Since it's their 60th anniversary year, they have a brand new parade called "Paint the Night" and we had heard great things about it. Supposedly they have one million lights in the parade itself! Once we heard that, we knew we had to take Tori to see it. So, we added Disneyland to our trip itinerary with Grandma DeAnne and Grandpa Ken and made it happen!
Our day didn't go as planned, so we didn't make it into the park until 5pm. And it was hot (over 100 degrees) and crowded (holiday weekend, and a Saturday), so we didn't get to take her on as many rides as we would have liked. BUT, it was still magical and so much fun!
We were so blessed to be able to briefly meet up with some members of our Krabbe family – Judson's parents and sister, Jessie, who gave Tori an adorable stuffed kitten – as well as some of our RYFO friends. Thank you for coming to meet up with us! Brennan's friend, Todd, who recently moved to California, also joined us and we enjoyed his company.
We took Tori on a couple of rides before the parade and that apparently wore her out because she slept through most of the very loud, very bright parade. What can you do with any kid in those situations? Haha. She was tired and she wasn't willing to wake up for anything. The adults enjoyed the parade, though, and agreed that it was well worth the crowds and the heat.
Tori woke up when we got on the tram to go back to the RV and she seemed so enthralled by it. It cracked us up! We felt like a "normal" family at that moment because kids are SO unpredictable and you never know what they will enjoy (i.e. the box instead of the toy).
We pray that we will have another opportunity to take her to Disneyland because there is so much more for her to see and experience!

02 Moving to Kyiv
This is a story about the desire to become better and the fact that all roads lead to Kyiv.
When the Soviet Union collapsed, everything seemed to change: it was as if the world suddenly got more colorful, interesting and ready to be explored. People got a new taste of freedom and wanted to make the most out of it, even though the economy and political system were still unstable.
At that time, the Ukrainian market became flooded with imported Chinese glasses — new, fashionable, with cool frames and modern designs. The glasses from the Izum plant, where the future parents of Ochis owner were working, simply could not compete with those (here the collection was only updated once every 10 years). There was no creative outlet for young and inspired people, and therefore Olya and Kolya were at a crossroads. On one road stood a beloved, but outdated optical-mechanical plant.
The other road promised changes and a new life, and, as you might've guessed, it led to the capital — a place of many opportunities. The choice was obvious!
Author: Virtual Kyiv Map
At first, Kolya took time off from work at the IOMZ and went to Kyiv to sell glasses on the weekend. To interest buyers with something unusual, he took defective frames from the plant, repainted and repaired them, thus created something completely new. Over the weekend, a small batch of custom glasses brought as much profit as a two-week salary. This just proved that there was a real demand for unique products, and Kolya was there to meet it.
After a couple of years of commuting, the whole family was finally able to move to the capital. When they settled in Kyiv, Max's parents began selling glasses from a small suitcase on Borshchahivka, but it soon became obvious that all cool things were happening downtown.
That's when Kolya single-handedly made a new device — a trolley that turned into a table, a kind of an optical shop on wheels. Together with this invention, they got to the Sinnyi market in the very heart of the city, where life was vibrant and the spirit of entrepreneurship was in full swing. It was here that Kolya gained his fame as an eyewear master, and Max sold his first pair of glasses. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. We will tell you all about these significant for Ochis events a bit later.
