20 reasons to travel
Bulgaria – Sofia, Rila and Plovdiv
Sofia is the capital of Bulgaria and has a long history since it was founded by the Thracians as 'Serdica'. It's since been controlled by the Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans and became the capital of the newly liberated Bulgarian Kingdom in 1879. Of course more recently the country was Communist under Soviet influence. Nearby the Rila Monastery and city of Plovdiv offer great day trip options. Now is an interesting time to visit as the nation seeks to move on as a democracy and member of the European Union.
Bulgarians love the symbol of the lion! Here it is over a painting of their national flag. This street art is in Plovdiv.
I've decided to write this post as both a travel diary entry and a city guide. So essentially expect expanded information on what I got up to and what there is to see and do in the city! Firstly why Sofia?
Well I selected this city for a short break as I haven't explored much of Eastern Europe before and had never been to the Balkans apart from Greece. Sofia is compact enough to explore in a couple of days and there were day trip options available. I did 2, Rila Monastery and Plovdiv, which I will discuss in this post! Hence flying from Gatwick Airport for a 5 night trip worked out really well for me. I arrived late on the first night so essentially I had 4 full days which was really good and enjoyable amount of time for this trip.
I stayed at Hostel Mostel after reading many good reviews about the place. This is probably the most well-known hostel in Bulgaria and it did not disappoint. The free (aka included as part of the price) breakfast and dinner are great. They provided a good social atmosphere in which to chat to others around your table and make friends. It also meant I had to only worry about buying one meal a day, lunch!
One of the great things for me about Sofia is that you can get pizza slices from pizza shops around the city. And I mean big, tasty slices! For only 2 Lev, which is slightly less than £1, this is a great cheap way to eat! The beer is very cheap too, the small corner shops had 2 litre bottles for only 2.49 Lev! Hence my nights at the hostel were spent drinking 1 of these with other travellers around a table.
Day 1 – Sofia – Walking Tours
I headed out after breakfast for a little wander around the area near my hostel, before joining the Sofia Walking Tour at 11am. It's run by 365, named so because they do tours 365 days a year! They are non-profit organisation that rely on donations. It's a great way to see the city and learn about it, before deciding where to spend extra time exploring! Our guide was Alissa and I thought she did a fantastic job over the 2 hours.
It starts at the Palace Of Justice. The guide gives a description of what the tour is about and some history about the city.
Nearby it the Eastern Orthodox St Nedelya Church, where on 16 April 1925 there was a failed assassination attempt on the Bulgarian Tsar Boris III. A group belonging to the Communist party blew up the roof of the church and killed 150 people. This was during the funeral of a General who'd they recently killed, to lure Boris III to the church. However Boris III was not there yet as he was delayed attending another funeral elsewhere in the city.
St Nedelya Church
One of the interesting things about Sofia is that because of its long history there are many ruins underneath the city that have yet to be discovered. So when they dig things up, for example for a new metro station, they find things! Alissa showed us some on our walk, and there are more you can check out around the city.
Controversially the Saint Sofia statue now stands in place of the old Lenin statue. This was removed after the fall of Communism. Alissa explained to us that the city is in fact not named for Sofia, and that the statue is very controversial amongst locals. Essentially its reason for being there now is 'well it's there already so yeah'.
Saint Sofia statue
Bania Bashi Mosque is the only functioning Mosque in Sofia, and a reminder of past Ottoman Rule. Nearby is Sofia's Synagogue and Alissa talked to us about the Muslim and Jewish populations in the city.
Bania Bashi Mosque
She also explained to us about Bulgaria's role in World War 2. At one point they were actually at war with everyone!
Next up was the old Turkish Mineral baths which are now the city museum. Our guide told us this is her favourite building in the city, because of how pretty the exterior is. There are still taps outside. You can taste the water, locals say it's very good for you! I did indeed try it!
Old Turkish Mineral baths. Now a city museum.
Right in the centre of Sofia is a square surrounded by Communist Buildings. Whilst the imagery is gone it is a good example of the old style. The old Communist Party HQ is going to be used as the new Parliament in the future. For the time being the parliament is around the corner. We stopped to see the guards.
St. George Rotunda
The Church Of St.George was built-in ancient Serdica by the Romans in the 4th Century. Note the ancient ruins in the photo! The church was used as a mosque by the Ottomans, and converted back to a church after Bulgaria's liberation. You can go inside and see the restored fresco's. Our guide told us about how the Communist regime used to 'cover up' religious buildings by building around them. You can see this in the photo!
The oldest theatre in the country is the Ivan Vazov National Theatre, which we saw next. After this we learned about the rulers of Bulgaria. From the Bulgarian Monarchy to the Communists to the current Democracy. We also learned about some Bulgarian culture in regards to spring.
Ivan Vazov National Theatre
As mentioned the city of Sofia did not take its name from the saint depicted by the statue. In fact it took it from the Saint Sofia Church. It's the second oldest church in the city, from the 4th-6th century. This is the second to last stop on the walking tour. After the tour ended I came back and looked inside for a bit, entry is free. There is also a park opposite with lots of odd statues. Some market stalls were selling goods too.
Alexander Nevsky Cathedral
A fitting end point for the tour, this is the tallest religious building in Bulgaria and the second tallest in the Balkans. It's the number 1 tourist destination in the country and it's easy to see why. the building really is grand and dominates the landscape. It was built and named in honour of the Russian soldiers who died liberating Bulgaria from the Ottoman Empire in the 1870's. You can go and look around inside too, it's full of Eastern Orthodox religious symbolism and artwork.
Nearby is the The Monument to the Tsar Liberator which is worth checking out if you are into military monuments. It was built-in honour of Tsar Alexander II, the Russian Tsar during the liberation of Bulgaria from the Ottoman Empire.
I'd been chatting to a fellow member of the tour and we'd explored Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and nearby together. We discovered each other was vegetarian so went to find a restaurant! We located Dream House and enjoyed some good well priced food! If you fancy a break from pizza and want a vegetarian meal, then this place is recommended. It's really near the Palace of Justice which made it a perfect stop for me.
Communist Tour
In comparison the large number of people who took the free Sofia city tour, there was only me and 3 others who joined 365's Communist tour. This is a paid tour, costing 20 Lev. It's 18 if you've done the city tour, though I paid 20 anyway as our guide Nikola did a fantastic job in the freezing cold. It takes about 3 hours. Communism is still a hugely divisive issue in Bulgaria so I felt the tour helped me learn a lot.
This tour was very information based compared to the city tour. Unfortunately (in my opinion) many of the old communist symbols/landmarks have now been destroyed. As our guide said its history, so whatever your view on communism is it's sad to see history destroyed. So whilst there wasn't that many photo opportunities, it was still a great tour. He explained things to us really well and told some intriguing stories.
Behind this 'secret' door people used to be interrogated by the State if they had joked about or spoke ill of the Communist Party. Our guide told us about the Bulgarian Communist Secret Service including the infamous umbrella assassination of Georgi Markov. He was a Bulgarian anti-communist playwright who was killed in London using poison fired through a device concealed as an umbrella.

Although not a single Soviet solider died capturing/liberating (depending on your viewpoint of course!) Bulgaria, the USSR still built a giant memorial in Sofia.
Part of the Monument to the Soviet Army in Sofia
This part of the Monument to the Soviet Army in Sofia has been painted on several times. Once as American Superheros, once in pink with an apology for the Prague Spring (in reference to Bulgaria's role in crushing the uprising) and once with the colours of Ukraine (in reference to the conflict there). Currently it is partially yellow but no one knows what that means!
Part of the Monument to the Soviet Army in Sofia – notice the yellow paint!
The tour ended at the National Palace Of Culture. A grand building in the Communist style, today it is used to support Bulgarian culture. There are many concert halls, exhibition halls, offices and alike.
In the evening I went back to hostel and then to visit a nearby pub with some other guests. Hostel Mostel does a pub crawl most nights though I declined to carry on further as I needed sleep!
Day 2 – Sofia – Museums and exploring
Having done 2 walking tours the previous day I decided to visit a couple of museums.
First up was Sofia city/regional museum, housed in the old mineral baths. To be honest I wasn't that impressed with this museum. There were some interesting things in relation to the Bulgarian monarchy and ordinary day life. But I didn't dwell that long.
Far more interesting to me was the National Archaeology Museum. There are lots of interesting artefacts here, in particular I enjoyed those that are Thracian/Greek and Roman in style.
There is also lots of Eastern Orthodox artwork which I though was intriguing. It's been collected from old religious sites around the area.
Eastern Orthodox Art in the National Archaeology Museum
After this I wandered around the city for a while, seeing some of the streets the walking tour hadn't gone along. It was interesting seeing some of the old communist architecture but I got tired having done 2 walking tours the day before.
I found the Sveti Sedmochislenitsi Church, which was a 500-year-old Mosque up until it's conversion in 1902.
Sveti Sedmochislenitsi Church
I thought this one was rather pretty, although of course smaller than Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. If your nearby I'd recommend taking a look as the architecture is impressive. Though if your rushed it's by no means an essential visit.
I also went back and looked at the outside of the huge National Palace Of Culture and the park that leads up to it.
National Palace Of Culture
That evening i took it easy, had dinner and a beer with a couple of guys from the hostel before having an early(ish) night.
Day 3 – Rila Monastery
I really wanted to take a couple of day trips from Sofia and decided this one was a must. Hostel Mostel offers this as a tour so I took them up, travelling with 2 other hostel guests by car. When they have more they do it by minivan. The journey is about 2 hours each way. You spend about 2.5 to 3 hours there. Understandably the fact that the travel time is longer than might put some people off. But I do really recommend it. The Monastery was founded by students of St Ivan of Rila. He was a hermit living in the 10th Century. Our driver showed us to the cave he lived in, it was tiny and wet! The area was covered in snow too, it must have been freezing for someone to live there during winter.
The Monastery complex is grand and I found it very impressive. It is currently home to around 60 monks. A couple of groundskeepers were shovelling snow whilst we were there. There is a museum that charged for entry but I decided against it, preferring just to explore the grounds.
Rila Monastery
There is so much artwork there in the Eastern Orthodox style. It's very detailed and as I have not seen much of this style before I spent a lot of time studying it.

Fresco in Rila Monastery
After a while here me and the other 2 went for lunch in a restaurant next door. The food was nice and very reasonably priced. When we got back we enjoyed some beer (as with previous nights!) and visited a nearby pub with other hostel guests.
Day 4 – Plovdiv
Plovdiv is spoken of very highly by both travellers and locals in Sofia. Therefore i decided it would be a great day excursion for my last day of my trip.
As with Sofia the city has a long history. In fact its one of the oldest cities in Europe! The area has been home to settlements since 5000 to 6000 BCE. In 347 BCE to 345 BCE the then Thracian town was conquered by Alexander the Greats father, Phillip II, who named it Philippopolis. During its period as part of the Roman empire it served as capital of the province Thrace. It was an important city in Roman times, drawing in many people from the surrounding area. Conquered by the Ottoman Empire and then liberated as part of an independent Bulgaria, it is now the country's second largest city.
i took the bus there with a few other people I'd met at the hostel and been hanging out with. Initially coming out the bus station we were faced with a very run down area, but thankfully the rest of Plovdiv lived up to the nice words!
I'd wanted to see the statue of the Soviet solider overlooking the town but was pretty tired and we didn't have much time. The others decided to dash up there and back and said it was cool. I instead went up a closer hill – Sahat Tepe (Danov Hill) – and got some really nice views. I found loads of street art too.
Street Art in Plovdiv
After this we did the 2 hour Plovdiv walking tour together. Run by the same company as in Sofia, the 365 association, it's a really good way to see Plovdiv. Again our guide was fantastic, this time it was Dani. He did a great job explaining about the city's history! And as it was my 3rd tour I got a free badge!
Starting at 2pm (times change from summer to winter) it leaves from the Municipality Building.
The tour starts with the guide explaining about Plovdiv's history to give you context. The Municipality Building is actually the first stop!
Next up is a rather interesting statue. Milyo lived in Plovdiv from the 30's to the 80's last century. This statue is where he used to sit and wave at people. He was death in his right ear and used to approach people using his left ear as in the photo. Also notice where his right hand is! Dani told us a couple of stories about what Milyo got up to. Local rumour has it that he was rather praised by the ladies for a certain something!
Statue of Milyo on Plovdiv's main pedestrian street
You wouldn't think it walking along Plovidiv's main pedestrian street that there is a Roman Stadium…but there is! The end part has been excavated so you can see part of the stadium that used to hold 30,000 spectators.
Excavation of the old Roman Stadium in Plovdiv
Nearby is Dzhumaya mosque, which was a church site then converted to a mosque by the Ottomans. One of the oldest Ottoman buildings in Bulgaria, it's interesting as the design differs from many other mosques.
Dzhumaya mosque
Kapana and the Old Town
Plovdiv is set to co-host as European Capital of Culture in 2019. As part of preparation for this the old Kapana district has been receiving help to revitalise the area. Also known as 'The Trap' it used to be the old craftsman district. Now it is becoming a centre for arts and culture.
Street Art in Kapana
Old Town Plovdiv is full of old pretty buildings. There is plenty of character here! Many of these were built-in the 1800's by local merchants.
Building in the Old Town
You can also find Hisar Kapia gate here. This old city gate dates from Roman times and was rebuilt in the 11th century.
Old city gate in Plovdiv
After this Dani showed us Roman ruins on one of the hills in old town. Alas it was pouring with rain at this point so I couldn't get any good photos! Next up we saw a statue of Alexandre Nikolov aka Sascha Sladura. He was a violinist who was killed in a labour camp during Communist rule. A reminder of authoritarianism's treatment of people of the arts.
The tour ended at the Roman Theatre. Its remains were found in the 1970's, and it has now been reconstructed as faithfully to the original as possible. It hosts gigs, festivals and concerts, especially in the summer.
Reconstructed Roman Theatre
After this it was time to bus back to Sofia.
After hanging out with some people from the hostel, including a trip to a nearby bar, it was time for sleep. Then a flight home the next morning. I really enjoyed my tip to Bulgaria, and I very much recommend you visit!
I hope to go one back sometime and explore the country further. Particularly some of Bulgaria's mountains regions and the city of Varna on the coast

Definition - What does Official Bordeaux Wine Classification of 1855 mean?
The Official Wine Classification of 1855 was ordered by Emperor Napoleon III to showcase the best wines of Bordeaux at the Exposition Universelle de Paris.
Wine brokers made a list according to the wines' prices, which reflected their quality at this time. They were ranked in order from first (Premiers crus) to fifth growths (Cinquiemes Crus), including wines from the sub-region of Medoc except one, Chateau Haut Brion of Graves.

8 African nations on a mission to put the first African on the moon
george tubei
Lying across the equator line, most African countries have budding space agencies which if properly funded can see an African leave their footprint on the moon's surface in the near future.
When one thinks about space exploration, Africa does not normally feature high on their minds as one of the world's launching pads.
politics Changes are coming to an AP Black history course, but the College Board says suggesting Florida's objections played a role is a 'wildly misleading'
news Meta exec warns philanthropy and worker perks can 'create drag' on a company. 'You must be willing to focus and prioritize.'
military and defense Israel's Netanyahu offered to mediate the war in Ukraine. Meanwhile, a bloody fight is breaking out in his 'own backyard.'
However, Africans countries while most are not involved in the space race they are not necessarily new to space explorations.
The African Union Working Group on Space in 2014, for instance, approved a draft on African space policy and is currently developing a comprehensive space strategy.
Here are African countries which are piercing the space and making history in the same breath.
This is Africa's newest kid on the block in terms of space exploration.
The West African nation launched its first-ever satellite into space at a cost of $50,000 (£40,000).
The GhanaSat-1 as the satellite has been christened was developed by students at the All Nation's University College (ANUC) in the Eastern Region with support from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).

Nigeria is one of Africa's powerhouses that is determined to leave its 'footprints' in space.
In 2016, Nigeria announced plans to send an astronaut into space by 2030, as part of its drive to develop a world-class space industry.
"The space program is very important," said Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, Minister of Science and Technology, during a speech in the capital city Abuja.
"Space is a major asset that Nigeria must be involved in for the purpose of protecting national interests."
The announcement was met with skepticism of course keeping in mind the shoestring budget the state space agency operates on.
Nigerian Space Agency hopes to fulfill these Hercules task by partnering with China, one of the world's space giants.
"We have always said ... the Nigerian space program is not going to be an ego trip," S. O. Mohammed, director general of the Nigerian National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) told CNNMoney in a past interview.
All in all, Nigeria's space program is no joke and since 2003, NASRDA has launched five satellites, with three still in orbit delivering vital services.
The most recent - NigeriaSat-X -- was the first to be designed and constructed by NASRDA engineers, and more advanced models are in development.
South Africa launched its first satellite, SUNSAT, in 1999. A second, SumbandilaSat, was launched from Kazakhstan in 2009.
In 2010, South Africa formed its national space agency called South Africa National Space Agency, (SANSA) with the intent of consolidating space-related research, projects and research in South Africa and to assume the role as a regional center for space research in Africa.
In 2013, the Cape Peninsula University of Technology launched South Africa's first CubeSat – a type of nano-satellite, known as ZACUBE-1.

Until last year, there was nothing much to write about Kenya's space exploration apart from a few space brushes here and there coupled with Kenya's unique position on the equator.
All this, however, is set to change after the country's cabinet finally approved the formation of the Kenya National Space Agency in 2016 at a cost of $96 million.
The development paves way for Kenya to venture into space science after a long break.
"This is a great step in the right direction as it will help the country in critical sectors such as agriculture, mining and forestry among others," the Director General of the National Commission for Science, Technology and Innovation (NACOSTI) Dr. Moses Rugutt said.
Kenya's first satellite was launched in 1970 and was named Uhuru, its mission was to study celestial X-ray astronomy.
Kenya was also involved in the launching of the first Italian satellite from the San Marco space station of Ngomeni falls in Malindi.
The first Angolan satellite, built by a Russian consortium, will be placed in orbit in the first quarter of 2017, according to the Secretary of State for Telecommunications, Aristides Safeca.
In 2015, Ethiopia built a privately funded astronomical observatory, taking the first step towards creating a fully fledged national space agency.
Located in the hills outside of the Addis Ababa, the Entoto Observatory and Research Center is propelling the nation forward in Africa's space race.
In January this year, the government said it would launch a Chinese-built civilian satellite from an overseas rocket pad within the next five years.
Algeria, established its space agency in 2002 and since then it has launched five disaster monitoring microsatellites.
The Algerian Space Agency (ASAL) announced the successful launch of three earth observation satellites; Alsat-1B, Alsat-2B and Alsat-1N on 26 September 2016 from Chennai, India.
Egypt's National Authority for Remote Sensing and Space Science was established in 1971 with help from the U.S. government.
Egypt launched its first satellite in 2007 for scientific research.
Recently, the country announced that it plans to launch a second satellite and aggressively pursue the creation of an African Space Station to compete with the International Space Station (ISS).

Letters to the President #1083: 'Who Dat? We Dat!'
Reporter's Note: The Saints are playing the Lions tonight in the next step of their quest to reclaim the NFL Championship. I can think of nothing more important to write to the president about.
Tonight's the night! My beloved Saints are taking to the field in the first round of the NFL playoffs to battle with the Detroit Lions. As always, I wish both teams well…and especially the Saints.
I love it when the Saints win. It is sweet each and every time. Maybe it's because they seem like such good guys. Maybe it's because Drew Brees is a real leader in a world filled with pretenders. Maybe it's because, as fans, we endured so many heartbreaking years of losing. But I think it goes beyond all that.
I love New Orleans. I have loved it ever since I lived there in the late 1980s. I love it in a way that withstands hurricanes and crime rates and floods and oil spills and collapsing economies. I love the streets, the food, the sounds, the smell, the music, the art, the way the ships rumble past on the river and the way the light filters through the live oak trees.
I realize that football is just a game. But sometimes a game can reflect an awful lot of the love and enthusiasm that one feels about a whole community, and that's how I feel when I see the Saints play.
I'm sure there are some Detroit fans who feel the same way about their team, and I wish them luck. But not too much.
All of which is a long way of saying: Where will you be watching the game tonight? Don't even think about saying you won't be. Ha! If you want to come over, give a call, but trust me…there will be no talking during the game. Especially if the Lions are ahead.
Just saying. Who dat!


It is in 1950s' Brighton that Marion first catches sight of Tom. He teaches her to swim in the shadow of the pier and Marion is smitten - determined her love will be enough for them both.
A few years later in Brighton Museum Patrick meets Tom. Patrick is besotted with Tom and opens his eyes to a glamorous, sophisticated new world.
Tom is their policeman, and in this age it is safer for him to marry Marion. The two lovers must share him, until one of them breaks and three lives are destroyed.


Chiropractic (ki"ro-prak"tik) – Chiropractic is a philosophy, science and art of things natural; a system of adjusting the segments of the spinal column by hand only, for the correction of the cause of disease.
Chiropractic is based on the understanding that our bodies are in a continuous state of healing. Healing takes place in all living people. This healing is directed by the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). This is the focus of the chiropractor; to make sure the communication is open from the brain to the body and from the body back to the brain.
We detect subluxations in the spine which can hinder these communications. Removing subluxations will allow the body to work better.

May 23, 2019 July 28, 2019 Val and SaraLeave a Comment on Who Profits From This?
Who Profits From This?
"Hatred is the fury of those who do not share our goals, and its object is death and destruction. Anger is a grief of distortions between peers, and its object is change. But our time is getting shorter. We have been raised to view any difference other than sex as a reason for destruction, and for Black women and White women to face each other's angers without denial or immobility or silence or guilt is in itself a heretical and generative idea. It implies peers meeting upon common basis to examine difference, and to alter those distortions which history has created around our difference. For it is those distortions which separate us. And we must ask ourselves: Who profits from all this?"
-Audre Lorde, "The Uses of Anger: Women Responding to Racism."
Now, Audre Lorde was most likely not addressing the climate crisis in her essay, "The Uses of Anger: Women Responding to Racism." As a self-described "black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet," Lorde's purpose in this is to enforce the necessity of interdependence between women in order to dismantle racist obstacles. However, this collaborative ideology can be applied in a number of ways, and proves itself to be the most viable solution when taking action to prevent complete social and ecological collapse.
Specifically in the United States, an organization called Sunrise Movement is building an army of young people to demand action in the climate crisis. Formed after the election of Donald Trump, their main priority is to implement the Green New Deal. This is non-binding legislation that outlines goals and aspirations to address the climate emergency and create millions of jobs in the process. On their website, they explain that, "We are not looking to the right or left. We look forward. Together, we will change this country and this world, sure as the sun rises each morning."
Many have been introduced to this movement through their sit-in at Nancy Pelosi's office, where they demanded congressional action on the climate crisis. Their current campaign is based around the phrase "Change the Debate," where they are forcing 2020 presidential candidates to address the upcoming climate apocalypse. On July 30-31, 20 candidates for president will walk onstage in Detroit, Michigan for a debate. Sunrise says: "They'll ask for our votes. We'll ask them to give a damn about our lives."
On the international scale, Extinction Rebellion is an organization "that uses non-violent civil disobedience to achieve radical change." Discontented with the manner in which governments around the world address the urgent issue of climate change, they have taken matters into their own hands to demand action. They lead and organize non-violent protests and gather people to rally for effective environmental policy that is sustainable for society and the overall well-being of the planet.
They organize behind three main demands: Forcing governments around the world to "tell the truth" about the ecological crisis, zero emissions by 2025, and a participatory democracy in the form of a Citizen's Climate Assembly.
Recently, this group organized an "International Rebellion" that lasted from April 15-22. Activists from around the world participated in civil disobedience in order to demand action on the global climate and ecological emergency. This included a peaceful block of traffic on major roads and a disruption of local city, state, and federal buildings. Their actions led the UK Parliament to declare a climate emergency. Unfortunately, this does not legally require the government to act.
Greta Thunberg, a sixteen-year-old climate activist, started school strikes on Fridays to push for the Swedish parliament to enact transformative policy change to combat climate change. Thunberg began leading the school strike when she was fifteen, sitting outside the Parliament of Sweden by herself with a sign that said "school strike for climate" in Swedish.
By peacefully protesting and using collective action, Thunberg inspired students around the world to start their own Friday climate strikes in their own cities. She was inspired by the student strikes for gun law reform in the US that were led by the students affected by the Parkland, Fl. school shooting in 2018. The climate strike has gained a large amount of coverage, including the TED stage on November 2018. Thunberg states, "Once we start to act, hope is everywhere. So instead of looking for hope, look for action."
The first global climate strike was March 15, rallying millions of students in 123 countries to demand policy makers to end the dependency on fossil fuels to mitigate global warming. There is a second strike on May 24 to continue to push for the progressive change that still has yet to be implemented all around the world. The students planning to attend this strike are empowered and inspired, they will not stop until sufficient change is made to protect their futures.
All these movements use non-violent measures to enact change, which is effective and galvanizes young people to make radical change in a credible manner. Government officials profit from our disagreements and inaction on climate change. The fight for a livable future includes collective action.
If you are a student, take part in the climate strike that is happening all over the world tomorrow! If your city has a Sunrise Hub or an Extinction Rebellion chapter, get involved! If your city doesn't have one, start one (SM) (XR)! They may make us feel small, but we can make a difference—together.

Dana Marschz is a recovering alcoholic and failed actor who has become a high school drama teacher in Tucson, Arizona, "where dreams go to die". Despite considering himself an inspirational figure, he only has two enthusiastic students, Rand Posin and Epiphany Sellars, and a history of producing poorly received school plays that are essentially stage adaptations of popular Hollywood films (his latest being Erin Brockovich). When the new term begins, a new intake of students are forced to transfer into his class as it is the only remaining arts elective available due to budget cutbacks; they are generally unenthusiastic and unconvinced by Dana's pretensions, and Dana comes into conflict with Octavio, one of the new students.
Dana is floored when Principal Rocker notifies him that the drama program is to be shut down at the end of the term. Seeking to inspire his students, Dana undertakes to write and produce an original play: a sequel to Hamlet featuring time travel to avoid the deaths of the characters, and new, more controversial content, including the introduction of Jesus Christ as one of the characters, complete with a song-and-dance number titled "Rock Me Sexy Jesus". The kids gradually warm to the project, but Rand – cast as a bi-curious Laertes and overshadowed by Octavio as Hamlet – storms out of the drama group and provides a copy of the play's script to Principal Rocker, who orders Dana to stop the controversial production.
Dana is further traumatized when his wife Brie leaves him for the uninteresting, but fertile, boarder Gary they had taken into their home to supplement their modest income, and reveals that he himself is infertile. Despondent, Dana falls off the wagon and tries to abandon the project, but his students encourage him to continue, arranging an abandoned warehouse and rave spot, technical assistance, and security being provided by the high school's football and wrestling teams. Dana also learns that the cancellation of the play has become a civil liberties issue encouraged by fanatical ACLU activist Cricket Feldstein. As a result, the play opens to a sold-out house, including a critic from The New York Times. Rand returns to the group, apologizing for his desertion; Dana allows him to return to the role of Laertes.
The play itself initially meets with a mixed reception, due to its controversial content and mangling of the original play; in keeping with a running joke throughout the movie, much of the content revolves around the characters using time travel to mend their troubled relationships with their fathers; it ends with both Hamlet and Jesus forgiving their fathers for the wrongs done to them. Although initially reluctant to engage with the play, with several protesters infiltrating the audience to stage a direct protest, the play gradually wins the audience over. The film ends with Dana and his favorite actress, Elisabeth Shue – whom he is now dating – meeting Dana's students to prepare for the show's Broadway opening, complete with original cast.

The play shown within the film was written on deadline for production.[2] The film was budgeted at a little over $9 million.[3] Production began in September 2007 in New Mexico.[4]
Filming took place mainly at West Mesa High School in Albuquerque, where actual students were permitted to perform as extras in the film.[5] Filming concluded on October 31, 2007.[6] The film was executive produced by Albert Berger and Ron Yerxa, who also produced Little Miss Sunshine.[3]
A rough edit of Hamlet 2 was prepared for the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, where it was a late addition, three days prior to its scheduled screening.[3] The film premiered at the festival on January 21, 2008. After the screening, an all-night bidding war took place for rights to distribution, which Focus Features won for $10 million, acquiring worldwide rights to the film.[7] The purchase of Hamlet 2 nearly broke the Sundance record set by Little Miss Sunshine, which sold for $10.5 million in 2006.[3] In wide release, the film grossed roughly half of the rights cost.
The film had a limited release on August 22, 2008, followed by a wide release on August 27. Its UK release was originally scheduled for December 28, 2008, postponed until February 27, 2009, and eventually cancelled.
The DVD was released December 21, 2008. The DVD includes deleted scenes, an audio commentary, and a sing-along.
Critical reaction
Hamlet 2 received mixed reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes the film has a rating of 62%, based on 142 reviews, with the site's critical consensus reading, "The script's biting premise and Steve Coogan's endearing, off-the-handle performance make Hamlet 2 an hysterical -- if slightly painful -- ride."[8] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 54 out of 100, based on 28 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".
Roger Ebert gave the film 3 out of 4 stars, calling the film "an ideal showcase for the talents of Coogan."[9] The New York Times states that the film "made sure to take shots at Christians, gays, Latinos, Jews, the American Civil Liberties Union, and Elisabeth Shue, one of its lead actresses."[2]
Duane Byrge of The Hollywood Reporter described Hamlet 2 as "a slam-bang patchwork of more inspired comedies, such as Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and Borat." Byrge described the premise as "a twist on the formula of let's-put-on-a-show, with the twist being that no one wants the show." He thought that the screenwriters had put together "a string of gags in a hit-and-miss dither."[10]

The villagers are now more prosperous, and food security for the region has been strengthened significantly.


Even in my adolescent arrogance, I saw my words slice her open and cut through her pristine exterior. At the time, I was glad for it. All I'd ever wanted from her was a reaction.
Throughout my childhood, she'd been cold, distant, impossible to connect with. She was never Mom or Mommy, always Mother. Even my dad called her Mother.
She ruled our home. All decisions were hers and final. There was no negotiation or discussion. Do what you're told or face the consequences.
The consequences were as steely as the woman who gave birth to me. I was never physically hurt but the scars on my heart and mind are more like scar tissue. A hardened damaged part of me that will never fade.
But those words, flung in her direction, as I made a grand exit, complete with slammed door, felt good. I was right. Vindicated. She'd never wanted me.
I stayed away for the weekend. Afraid to go home. Afraid to run away for good. Everyone knew where I was. Pete had been my best friend since first grade. If you couldn't find me, look for him. I expected my father, maybe even my aunt, to come looking for me. No one expected police officers.
My first reaction was anger. How dare they send the cops? Then fear. Maybe they weren't here for me. Maybe something happened to Pete's brother. I quickly wished the thought away. I'd rather them take me to jail than bring sorrow to my friend's life. I couldn't foresee they brought sadness and guilt I might never recover from.
I don't remember much after they said, "She didn't make it." I hid away deep inside myself, in a place where no one could touch me and nothing could hurt.
I came to days after the funeral when I found my father passed out in vomit and whiskey. The bottle loose in his hand. Picking it up, I considered swigging down the rest but someone needed to be sober for the meeting with Mother's lawyer, Mr. Reilly. Because of course she had one. Of course she'd neatly planned, like a general readying for battle, for her own demise.
We sat in her study. Maybe in other family's the study was a man's haven, but not in mine. The dark room was Mother's domain. I'd only been allowed to enter for lectures and the doling out of consequences. It wasn't a place that filled me with fond memories.
A year before had been my first act of defiance against her, yelling, cursing, and leaving behind a slammed door. Just before she died had been my last. My face burned with shame and remorse.
He handed me a box and an envelope. Of course, they were both labeled. "Read first. Open second." Even in death, she was directing my every movement. For once I cherished the control, happy to do as she wanted this one last time.
Her bold, florid handwriting took my breath away. This was her. As my eyes moved down the page, I heard her voice in my mind.
I know you find this hard to believe but I love you, utterly and completely. Since the moment Doctor Geffen told me I was expecting a child, I cherished the very thought of you. You do not like or appreciate my parenting these days. You feel I am cold and harsh. And you're right. Life is not kind to anyone, certainly not me. My mother died when I was young, leaving behind only the keepsake you'll find in the box. I fear I will do the same to you. I must tell you what I wanted my own mother to tell me but she died too soon.
You don't agree with my methods. You don't agree with my rules. You think me cold, distant, and uncaring. You are not wrong. The only thing I know about raising children is that you are my legacy, you are the proof that I existed. I must raise you to be the best man you can be. Not just for me or your father, but for your future.
I did not know affection as a child. My mother believed to spare the rod was to spoil the child. When my grandmother took over my care later, she thought my mother had failed in her mission and set out to beat the submission into me. I say this not to make excuses for the nights you spent in cold darkness or hours without meals, only that I knew no different. Showing love and affection as a child was forbidden. The times you put your arms around me and held on were some of the most beautiful moments of my life. My only regret is that even now I do not know how to reciprocate.
I can only hope that I have many more years to learn how to show love and affection. I fear I will not.
In the box is the pen I have used to write my journals throughout the years, the only safe haven I have ever known to express my feelings. The inscription is "Hope, Faith, Love" – things I have always longed to share with you. My hope for you is that you will be a better person than I have been. My faith is in your inherent goodness and kindness. My love for you, inadequately expressed, knows no bounds.
I looked up, blinded by tears and rage. How dare she keep this to herself? And yet, I think even then, I understood. If showing affection was an offense worth a beating, how could you ever feel safe?
I can tell you, 20 years later, my mother's wish came true. I've broken the cycle of abuse and lack of love in our family. My kids will tell you I never leave them alone. My father says I spoil them rotten. Show me the person who was ever spoiled by hearing "I love you" on a daily basis and being hugged and kissed over and over again. The person doesn't exist.
I write in a daily journal, as my mother did, to deal with my emotions, express myself, and leave behind a record of who I am as a man, a father, and a husband. I cling to the sentiments expressed by my mother, allowing her delayed love to wash over me and soften the scar tissue of my memories and soothe the guilt that's never dissipated. When I die, I will leave this pen to my oldest but I will also leave behind a legacy of love and joy, nurturing and compassion, and more than a few words scratched out on paper. That is my promise, my faith, my hope, and my love.
They called me Patrizio as a joke when I was a baby. Or maybe it was wishful thinking. Instead of being a round, roly-poly thing that laughed and gurgled, I was quiet and thin. Not one to make unnecessary noise, even as a child, the family worried I was "slow." Until they caught me watching them.
"Patrizio, he looks at us from his throne as if he we are peasants." My grandfather, a gregarious man who loved to sing opera and drink wine, was confused by me, I think. As a child, I thought he didn't love me, not like he loved my brothers and cousins. On his deathbed, when I was the last of the "bambinos" willing to sit by his side – everyone else left as quickly as they could without incurring the wrath of a mother or aunt – he whispered his love to me, and his concern.
I couldn't disagree with him.
My grandmother, Nani Rosa, spent most of my childhood stuffing me with food. After my grandfather died, it was worse. My brothers and cousins were big, strapping boys who worked the vineyard with the rest of the men, carrying on the family business he'd brought from Tuscany to New York a generation before. I, however, was not cut out for the work. Nor did I have any desire to toil with the grapes and in the sun.
Nani Rosa, when she wasn't feeding me ever-growing plates of rice and gravy – the red sauce you're probably most familiar with – slipped me blank sheets of paper and freshly sharpened pencils. She understood I was different, even if she couldn't understand how or why.
Enzo was my father, a good man but rough. He was more confused by me than my grandfather had been. That confusion came out as disgust and anger. It would take me many years to understand this. As a child, I believed he hated me. I stayed out of his sight as often as possible. My nani's offer to sit at her antique desk in a sitting room so rarely used was a blessing. It would be many years before I understood what it cost the family to allow me this rare luxury.
Everyone worked in our family. We lived and died by what we were able to produce and sell. The wine was only part of it and not where the bulk of our income came from. The wine was about family pride and heritage more than business. The other produce we grew and harvested was financially more valuable but had much less of the family's heart.
My father fought with my grandmother every time she allowed me to stay inside with her. He derided my "scribbles" as he referred to them, his lip curled in a derisive snarl. His voice dripped with contempt, or so I thought. I was the useless son, the one who cared so little for our family's history that I refused to work.
The women in my family understood I was different. They could see that the time spent outside slowly killed my soul and did little for my thin frame. Some touch of women's wisdom, a thing my grandmother had impressed upon me from the cradle, allowed them to give my spirit room to grow and move in a different direction.
I believe even they despaired of me, though. What good could all this scribbling possibly do for the family? For the vineyard? For the farm?
Days after my sixteenth birthday, when my parents, my grandmother, brothers, and cousins gathered around, more out of duty than joy, to wish me another year of health and happiness, I finally proved my worth. It was then that I finally unveiled what I'd worked on for the better part of a year, what all those years of "scribbling" had lead to, the thing I'd toiled away in secret for fear of rejection and anger.
It was a simple enough thing. A brochure detailing the vineyard and its history, along with our family and the most beloved wines. I trembled as I handed it first to my grandmother, who I believed would, at the very least, read it without judgement.
From Nani Rosa to my mother to my father, the thing spread like wildfire. Only the cousins and my brothers were confused. Good-hearted men, but never the type to indulge in reading anything more than a few words and only when necessary. My father could see the benefit immediately.
There was laughter and wine shared around the table at dinner that night. A big celebration more for the family than for me. They finally saw how I would contribute, what my purpose was. For me, I was surprised it had taken so little – of my time or effort – to find acceptance. My mother and grandmother beamed at me across the table while wine was pressed upon me throughout the night. I was a man now, in the eyes of the family, finally contributing something meaningful. The younger men still couldn't see it, but because my father was happy, they were happy.
I couldn't tell them what their acceptance meant to me. It would be years before I was able to admit to myself I was both filled with joy and resentment at the turn of events. I was a man because I could write, as long as it benefited the family, but anything else was a waste of time and made me a lazy boy.
For years, I hid my personal writing, the novel of war and love I penned in secret at night, the fantasy stories I submitted to magazines, even this, my dear journal, leather-bound and filled with my thoughts and fears. As long as I continued to produce a few lines of copy to sell more wine, I was left to my own devices. I thought my secret was well hidden, and maybe it was from all but one.
When I graduated from college, the last of the boys to do so, although the only one to eschew agriculture and business classes for literature and writing, Nani Rosa presented me with a gift.
This pen, used for many years now, wrote my grandmother's eulogy for her funeral. It penned the first novel I ever published. And now, worn soft and dull by my hand, it continues to write up the little brochures and sales material for the family business – the business I inherited from my father who said of all of us, I would be best suited to keeping it going. He wrote, in his will, that I would never force anyone into a role for which they weren't suited, and he believed I would use my "good sense" (words that shook me) to keep our heritage going for years to come.
It wasn't a role I wanted, but I've come to cherish. I did as he hoped I would and placed the right people in the right jobs. These days, I'm little more than a figurehead which works well for me as I still sit at Nani Rosa's antique desk, although now it's in my personal office, to "scribble" each day with my beloved pen, a symbol of her love and faith in me.

London is a beautiful city and offers plenty of places where you can really appreciate this, high above the ground. If you're staying with Twin Accommodation in the capital, you'd definitely be missing out if you didn't visit some of these places to admire the most amazing views of the city.
We start off with one of London's most famous landmarks, the London Eye. When it was built in 1999, it was the tallest Ferris wheel in the world, and despite being overtaken since then, it's become the most popular tourist attraction in the UK that you have to pay for, which is not surprising as it guarantees some fantastic views. On a half hour flight on the London Eye, you'll be over 100 metres off the ground, and on a clear day you might be able to see as far as Windsor Castle.
Another famous spot for great views is the Shard. This unbelievable 306 metre tall structure really is a skyscraper. On the 72nd floor, at 244.3 metres, is the View from the Shard, London's highest viewing platform with an open-air observation deck too, which, of course, offers unbeatable views. It's not just worth visiting for the view though; the 72nd floor is currently home to London's highest lawn, perfect for summer, a champagne bar, and regularly hosts silent discos.
Maybe not quite as famous as the event it was built in celebration of, but continuing to offer some spectacular views, next on our list is the ArcelorMittal Orbit, the tallest sculpture in Britain. It opened as a viewing platform to the public just a few months ago, and since then people have been boasting about the views. The ArcelorMittal Orbit is located in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, next to the Olympic Stadium, and is a visual masterpiece created for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Next up is another distinctive landmark, the O2. Previously known as the Millennium Dome, the eye-catching structure was completely redeveloped inside to open in 2007 as a brilliant entertainment venue, home to a variety of restaurants, bars, a cinema, and a world famous arena that hosts huge concerts. One of the best things about the O2, though, is the unique experience of Up at the O2. Up at the O2 allows you to climb the outside of the dome for amazing 360 degree views of London, including Canary Wharf and Greenwich.
The final way to see London from the sky is actually advertised as a mode of transport – the Emirates Air Line – a cable car. This is a really unique way of crossing the Thames and getting from one great London attraction to another, but the best part about it is you won't be stuck underground on a tube; you'll be high up in the air admiring the views!
Day or night, don't find yourself just gazing up at these massive landmarks – journey to the top of them! London has one of the most famous skylines in the world and the best way to view it is as high above street level as possible. Don't forget to bring your camera!

Sonu Nigam has collaborated with entertainment firm ITW Playworx to create a talent management company for musicians. With Playworx Music, Nigam hopes to "create significant changes in the music business.
The singer says, "It was my idea to create the company. Having been in the entertainment business for decades, I have a sound understanding of the music industry. I wonder why people follow a tried -and-tested formula when there is so much more to music than what is served. With the company, we aim to bring significant changes to showbiz and music, and their consumption."
The company will nurture fresh talent. It will also help existing artistes manage their assignments, including those relating to films, live shows, among others. Nigam adds, "Every artiste will be given the ideal environment to flourish. I will also have them accompany me on my tours. You never know, I might accompany them one day."

I know my viewpoint won't be shared by many of the vendors attending the show (who need large crowds to be profitable), but the classes I taught this year were full of many enthusiastic and eager attendees. The industry is changing; younger shop owners are replacing many of the aging generation that saw the heydays of the past and the drastic downturn over the last several years.
From a teacher's point of view, it is great to have the opportunity to share with so many who are starting out and are open to doing business in more creative ways. There seems to be a higher understanding of marketing strategies and business practices which lead to growth and profit. It was often difficult to leave the room after a class as many attendees lined up to ask more personal questions or request follow up information. We are still digging out from the barrage of emails and requests for our consulting programs.
It is exciting to see that the industry will carry on in the hands of so many new shop owners. I'm already looking forward to seeing many of the new friends I made this year in 2020. If you did not attend the show this year, make it a priority next January. I think you will be pleased with the quality of classes and the new excitement level being added by so many new members of our industry.

La chiesa di San Calocero era una chiesa di Milano. Situata in via San Calocero all'attuale civico n. 3, venne demolita nel 1951 a causa dei danni riportati dai bombardamenti alleati dell'anno 1943.

Storia e descrizione
Le origini della chiesa sono dubbie. Certamente esistente alla fine del XVI secolo con il titolo di San Calocero nel, la tradizione vuole che il giorno 11 luglio 1519, all'epoca della guerra fra Sforza e francesi, un affresco preesistente della Vergine Maria e posto fuori dalla chiesa avesse stillato sangue; da qui il mutamento di dedica alla Madonna di San Calocero, titolo mantenuto fino alla demolizione.
Sicuro è anche che i frati della vicina chiesa di San Vincenzo in Prato, da cui San Calocero dipendeva, avessero qui innalzato un monastero di monache che ben presto, per timore delle guerre, dovettero però riparare in città.

Nel 1565, rinnovatosi il miracolo della Vergine piangente sangue, il tempio venne restaurato, ampliato e in parte riedificato su decreto di San Carlo Borromeo che stabilì anche che il dipinto della Vergine venisse staccato dal muro esterno che lo ospitava e spostato all'interno della chiesa sopra all'altare maggiore. Oggi l'affresco è custodito in San Vincenzo in Prato .Successivamente la piccola chiesa fu nuovamente restaurata e abbellita ai tempi delle soppressioni austriache.

Gravemente danneggiata dai bombardamenti anglo-americani del 1943, rimase in stato di abbandono fino al 1951 quando, visto il suo scarso valore artistico e l'avanzato stato di abbandono, ne venne deciso l'abbattimento.
