by Hermes.
We arrived in Alexandria today, diary, after a rough but short trip along the coast. Xena insisted that we cross the isthmus and take ship to Alexandria. She thought there would be less chance my being noticed that way. She is usually right about such things. I am writing this in my room on the fourth floor of a rather run-down inn on the edge of the waterfront area. Xena has no trouble passing through crowds - lucky thing - then of course they can't see her - I can, though only in daytime. Right now she is stretched out on the window ledge. I have to stop myself from telling her to be careful or she will fall.
I was trying not to be noticed when we disembarked but I guess that would have been hoping for to much - a woman travelling alone always brings stares. Still no real problem so far. The city has changed somewhat since our last visit. At that time Queen Cleopatra ruled and the Roman empire was at war with itself. Now Egypt is a Roman province ruled by a Governor named Cicero Plaudus who had been one of Julius Caesar's officers who later supported Octavian and is now enjoying his reward. Alexandria has almost recovered from the fighting although the great library is still trying to replace some of the scrolls lost when it was fired. I hope one day to see over it properly. I missed out on our last visit because of the death of Cleopatra.
The one bad thing that I noticed as I left the docks, diary were two long lines of chained slaves being marched down to the docks. All were male and I got the impression that most if not all were soldiers - Egyptian soldiers.
Xena tells me she will go exploring after I go to sleep. She will endeavour to find out what the feeling of the people is now and how Cicero treats them. I still find it hard to talk to Xena mind-to-mind. I know I have to - to many times already people have noticed I appear to "talk to myself". No doubt they think I am going crazy. I will have to try harder, I guess.
There was one other incident as I came out of the dock area. I saw two seamen arguing outside a tavern. I don't know what they were arguing about but one of the men suddenly produced a knife and went for the other. He stabbed him in the shoulder - his target managing to shift sideways just in time to prevent the knife striking his heart. As the wounded man fell back a girl screamed and rushed forward. She tried to go to the injured man but the one with the knife grabbed her and started to drag her away. He was dragging her in my direction, diary, so I stepped in his path and told him to release the girl.
"Out of my way, woman, This is not your concern," he snarled.
"I'm making it my concern," I replied, "Do you want to go with him?" I asked the girl.
"No. He is a monster. I love Peter. I want to help him," she shouted.
"Release her," I said to him.
"Silence, woman. Go home and stay there," he snapped.
I did not move. "Release her," I repeated.
"Let me go Darrel," the girl shouted, "I must help Peter. You've hurt him, you monster."
"Silence Marline. You were promised to me. You belong to me, and you are coming with me whether you like it or not." He looked at me. "You. Out of my way. Now. Or I'll do the same to you."
He swung his knife at me threateningly. I stepped back, dropped my bags and drew the sai from my right boot.
"It is easy to hurt unarmed people isn't it, Darrel. How åbout when one can fight back? What then?" I feinted at him. He immediately released the girl and went into what he thought was a fighting crouch.
"Alright woman. You asked for it,"
He leapt at me but I stepped aside and whilst he was still moving moved behind him and planted a kick where it would do the most good. He sprawled in the roadway, dropping his knife. I kicked it away and slid the sai back into its strap on my boot. And waited. After a moment he hauled himself up onto his feet and faced me. His eyes blazed with anger.
"Woman, you are dead." he snarled. He obviously assumed his extra height and strength gave him an advantage. And it may well have, but he didn't know how to use it. He leapt at me but again I stepped aside and chopped at his neck. I could have killed him but that would have caused me more problems. Anyway diary, he fell on his face again. And again he got up. But now he was more careful. We spared for a few minutes but he was only a brawler and I was receiving constant advice from the best there is. Finally I caught his arm, twisted and tossed him over onto his back. After a moment he sat up and glared at me but said nothing. He hauled himself to his feet and staggered away. The girl, Marline, and I went to Peter. I examined his wound. It was deep but not fatal. Marline produced cloths from her bag and bound it up competently enough.
"I can't thank you enough," she began, "If you hadn't been there.."
"That's all right," I replied, "Will you be alright - both of you?"
"Yes, thanks to you," replied Peter, as he tested his hand.
"Then Iåll be getting along then," I said as I collected my bags.
"If there is anything we can do for you ..-"
"Well - can you tell me of a reasonable inn near here - one that is clean and not to noisy," I said.
"Yes, we can," answered Peter, "We will show you." And they did.
The keeper of this inn is a woman, dairy, who is as tall as Xena but much heavier in build. She has long blond hair that she wears in two braids. While eating my evening meal tonight in the main room I saw her handle a couple of drunk roughnecks who tried to upset an otherwise peaceful room. Her name is Freda and I think she might be from Gaul. Anyway she had no trouble subduing these two men and throwing them out. Her kitchen produces an excellent meat roll too. The inn has two prostitutes working from it (at least) and one is Greek. When there are no call for their services they wait on tables and this one - her name is Lila - told me she was from Athens. She had been travelling with her new husband when he had been killed in a street fight, leaving her stranded here. Freda had taken her in and been good to her at first. She works as a prostitute to repay Freda for the help she gave her. Xena says she realises Freda was being smart. She got a young fresh girl who had no protector and now she (Freda) had a new prostitute working cheap for her. Lila was too ashamed to go home now anyway.
Xena just called me to the window. I stood beside her as she pointed out some of the changes she could see in the city's skyline. She put her arm around me as she spoke. It is so strange when she hugs me. I can feel it and yet I know she is really not there. I miss her terribly even although I can speak to her regularly, it is not the same.
Anyway, Diary, it is bed for me. Tomorrow we will go see what things are like in the city proper under Rome.
On our first full day in Alexandria was very eventful. Following local custom we left the inn early at Xena's insistence and went into one of the market areas. During the night Xena did some exploring and at breakfast told me the city was reasonably quiet politically but only because the people feared Cicero. He has a thriving trade in slaves going as a sideline. Anyone even suspected of plotting against Rome is condemned to be sold into slavery. That is how he is controlling Egypt. By fear.
We reached the market place as the stall holders were setting up their stalls. There was little chatter between the people. Any talking was in whispers. As we went through the square I didn't hear anyone cry out their wears in the traditional manner. As we were leaving the marketplace I heard a commotion behind me and turned to see a boy - little more than a child in the hands of a Roman soldier. A man was being held back by two other soldiers. He was clearly trying to protect the boy. I spoke to a nearby stallholder, a woman.
"What happened?
She looked at me grimly. "He backed into the Centurion. He didn't see him coming. Now he will be accused of attacking the Centurion and sold into slavery." The woman's voice was bitter.
I felt Xena's hand on my arm. "Don't interfere," her ghostly voice sounded in my mind, "The only way to stop this is attack the source."
"How", I managed to stop myself in time and concentrated my thoughts instead, "How do you mean åAt the sourceå?"
"Very good. Your coming through loud and clear."
"How do you mean åAt the source'?"
"I mean at the top. We must convince Cicero to stop this trade. Now."
Xena led the way out of the market place and along one street after another until we came out in front of what had once been Cleopatra's palace. It was now the residence of the Roman Governor. Roman soldiers stood on guard where Egyptian soldiers stood when we were last here. Xena paused. Her thoughts came clearly to me. "The best way to get Cicero to stop this trade is to give him a dose of it."
"You are suggesting we somehow spirit him away from here despite all his guards, and make him a slave?"
"Not an easy task."
"Perhaps it would be easier if we were to find out when he leaves here and see if we can waylay him somewhere." I wondered how I could so calmly accept such a preposterous idea.
"Good idea. I'll see what I can find out. Don't go away."
Xena marched straight up the steps of the palace and disappeared from sight. I spent the next hour wandering around and examining the statutes on display in the square in front of the palace until Xena appeared again.
"An interesting point, Gabrielle."
"What is that, Xena?"
"Apparently this slave trade is run by Cicero's son Julius. Cicero signed the decree making slavery the punishment for anyone objecting to Rome's rule but is letting his son actually enforce it. It seems Julius is overdoing it."
"So it is the son we should be going after? Or must we convince Cicero that his son must be stoped?"
"Both, probably, I'm afraid, Gabrielle."
"Hmm... did you find us a way to seize the son?"
"Yes. We are in luck there, Gabrielle."
"Julius has an interest in Egyptian history. He likes to browse the library which means he is alone in there amongst the books and scrolls. He will be going there this afternoon. Come we have preparations to make" She led the way out of the square.
That afternoon I was standing quietly amongst the shelves of scrolls and books pretending to be engrossed in a scroll on the Trojan war when Julius arrived. I heard him dismiss his guard, ordering them to return for him an hour before sundown. Then he was alone, heading for the shelves of scrolls on Egyptian history. I put my scroll back in its place and followed him.
The next part went off remarkably smoothly, diary. I waited until his attention was totally on his book then crept up behind him and grabbed him around the neck with one arm and pressed the cloth soaked with the opiate I had purchased. He struggled of course and alone I couldn't have done it, but Xena merged with me and with her strength I was able to hold him until finally the drug did it's work. Then I bound and gagged him securely. I certainly needed Xena's strength to drag him out the side door and lift him into the wagon I had rented. After covering him with old sacking, we set off.
Xena appeared as I drove the wagon into the store shed I had rented earlier.
"Good work, so far my bard."
"Now I have to turn this Governor's son into a slave."
"Right. Lets see. You can shave him. He'll look different without his beard. For that matter if you shave his head too he will look more Egyptian . Strip him and cover him with dust. That should do it."
"Easy for you. I am the one doing all the actual work," I grumbled.
" åFraid so," she grinned.
"You don't have to look so pleased about it."
I rummaged in my bag and found the old razor.
I looked at the result of my handiwork. The governor's son was now naked and filthy with dust. His hands were still bound behind him and he was tethered to a post by the neck. His face and scalp was now hairless. There was now no sign of the noble Roman. He moaned and stirred as the drug wore of. I picked up a switch and stood in the shadows steeling myself to do the next part. When his eyes were open I gave him a moment to become aware of his surroundings then approached him. He was testing his bonds. He swung his eyes onto me and spoke like a man used to being obeyed.
"Girl. Release me at once."
"Silence slave," I replied trying to sound as harsh as I could.
"Slave. I am nobody's slave," he roared, "Release me from these bonds at once, girl."
"Slaves do not give orders," I pointed out calmly.
"I am no slave," he was shouting now, "I am Julius Paudus, son of the Governor of Egypt. I order you to release me at once."
"You will get me a good price when you stand on the block, slave." I replied, struggling to remain calm and offhand. I released his tether from the post and tugged it.
"On your feet slave," I said briskly. He did not move.
"Never, girl. Release me at once."
"You will have to use the whip, Gabrielle," said Xena.
"Yes, damm him and your ideas," I replied.
I gritted my teeth, lifted the switch and swung. It caught him across the shoulder and he gasped and flinched. I pulled on the tether which was fastened around his neck. If I pulled hard enough it would choke him. I hated this. It made me feel sick to my stomach. But it had to be done. Silent now he got to his feet followed me out of the building and along one street after another until we arrived at the slave market.
It was a horrible, noisy place, diary. There were on this day four separate auction stands operating. Each auctioneer trying to out shout his three rivals. One auctioneer Xena had told me was selling male slaves for the galleys or the arena, another was selling male and female slaves for house work and work in shops, and one was selling only female slaves. The fourth stand, diary was dealing only in children of both genders. It was a pitiful sight. I took Julius over to the second stand. He immediately began to demand his release of one of the private guards each auctioneer had to protect his property and control the crowds. He was of course ignored - or rather told in no uncertain terms to either still his tongue or he will loose it. It was soon done. Julius was sold to a tanner. The auctioneer's man handed me the money - less the commission of course and I left the slave market quickly. Xena was following Julius and his new owner to see where he would be. I returned to the inn and waited for her to return.
She showed up about sundown.
"How is he taking it, Xena?"
"Not well. He is clearly not used to hard physical labour. His owner has had to use the whip already."
"We can't leave him there for long, Xena."
"True enough. The search will begin soon. It will be in full sway by morning. You should get some sleep, Gabrielle. Have you written the letter?"
"Yes. All I have to do is add the location." I began to remove my boots. "How long should we leave him there, Xena?"
"A few days, maybe."
"We can't let the owner get into trouble over this, Xena."
" Ha. I examined his work. It is terrible. His product is good to look at but poor in quality. He rushes the processes and cuts corners. After a few weeks his leather is cracked and looking as if it is real old. H e charges full price for his bad workmanship too, Gabrielle. He is defrauding his customers. He deserves his losses. Now go to bed my love and don't worry. All will be well, you'll see."
She wrapped her arms around me, diary, and although I knew she was a ghost, a spirit, and I shouldn't be able to feel her, I could. If only I could restore her. But she had been determined not to, and I was the looser. I felt her trying to kiss my tears away but they just came faster.
"I'm sorry Gabrielle. I never meant you to be hurt over this. Please don't cry." She held me close and stroked my back to sooth me, but it was a while before I could pull myself together. And even longer before I could sleep.
The search for the governor's son actually didn't get into full swing until about mid-afternoon of the next day, diary. Although his guard had returned for him and later reported his failure to show up, little was done until Cicero (who had been out of the city on an inspection tour) returned around noon the next day. Apparently Julius didn't always keep people informed as to his intentions. Xena says also that no-one liked him much, those seeking his companionship only tolerated him because of his supposed influence over his father. Anyway, diary, Xena tells me that they quickly established he was last seen entering the library and hadn't been seen since. On the third day, diary, Xena informed me that Julius was getting plenty of beatings from his owner. She also reported that Governor Cicero was preparing to order a house to house search.
"We can't allow all those people to be inconvenienced, Xena," I pointed out when she said this.
"You're right. It's time to arrange for him to be found."
"We send the letter to Cicero, now?"
" Yes. I will go with it to see that it goes direct into Cicero's hand."
"You can do that? Make others do what you want? How?" I was astounded.
"By merging with them like I have done with you when you needed my strength. But it is not as easy with others. With you it is easy because you know me and let me in. With other people they naturally resist me and that limits what I can do. But I will be able to make Cicero read your message. After that we will see."
Well diary, it worked. Cicero acted on my message and Julius was freed. In my message I had stated why it had been done and pointed out the injustice of enslaving people who had don no wrong. I described the fate of the child I had witnessed. I've had to stay in my room for the last few days, diary, as the soldiers are seeking me now. But Xena has reported that Cicero has relieved his son of his authority and ordered - quietly mind you - that only true dissidents are to be arrested and ordered that they be allowed a hearing before a magistrate to ensure that they are a threat before being sentenced. So it may be a little better in the future. But now, diary I must somehow get out of Alexandria. Ah, well, diary, life with Xena is rarely boring.

The wombat gives birth to one young between November and April when the wet season comes. Staying in the mothers pouch from eight to nine months and then leaving after about 15 months. The teeth of the Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat never stop growing so it can grind its teeth eating native and introduced grasses even when its very old. Being a solitary marsupial it likes to share burrows that have many entrances, the humid burrows with moist air always keeps a constant temperature.
The Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat is only active at night at usually dusk or dawn. It has silky soft brown fur with a broad head and pointed long ears with white hair on the edges. The name of the Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat comes from the muzzle which is covered with short brown hairs. With powerful legs to run and very strong claws to dig burrows and to find food it is a very strong and heavily built marsupial.
The introduced buffel grass out competes the native grass that the wombat likes to it and forces them to travel further to find the native species to eat. The main threats include the habitat loss and change, competition with food among other animals have contributed to the decline on the Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat. Dingos can be a threat also as they killed 10 during the year 2000. The small population at Epping Forest National Park is now fenced off from the surrounding area to keep out the dingos and for monitoring purposes.
Established in 1971 the Epping Forest National Park is there to protect the habitat of the Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat. The park is restricted to researchers and park managers. With fire breaks in place and by patch burning of small areas it is protected by wildfires. In 1982 they removed the cattle then the wombat numbers increased from 35 to around 70 in 1989. Having a major drought in the 1990's the numbers remained steady. As of 2010 the current population lies at 134 Northern Hairy-nose wombats, that makes it in the top 10 most endangered in the world! Only for a while there has only been one single population at Epping Forest National Park and now with the help of the government and private parties there is now a second location for the species to be relocated at the Richard Underwood Nature Refuge to create a second colony that is at Yarran Downs near St George.
This is a great read! Great article!
I have never heard of a wombat I find your article very interesting.
This is a great article on wombats! Thanks for the information, and congrats on the front page!


These meatballs sure have a good kick! They are sweet and spicy, and very tender. The creamy cilantro lime sauce is perfect for dipping, and cools the taste buds.
In a large mixing bowl, add all the ingredients and mix thoroughly until well combined. Roll the mixture into balls (about 2 tbsp), and place on a greased baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
Place all the ingredients except the butter in a blender (or food processor) and blend until smooth. Adjust flavours to taste.
Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Place in the fridge until ready to serve.
In a large pot, melt the 1 tbsp butter. Once it starts to bubble, add the chipotle sauce, and bring to a simmer. The sauce will thicken up. Once it's thick, add the meatballs and stir to coat. Serve on a platter with cilantro lime sauce.
****I highly recommend removing the seeds from the chipotle peppers. They are extremely spicy and unless you can handle extreme heat, it's wise to scrape them out. The sauce will still have a good kick, without the seeds.
These can be prepared ahead of time. Cook the meatballs and store in the fridge. When you're read to serve, cook the chipotle sauce. Toss the meatballs in the sauce, and pop in the oven at 350 for 10 minutes to reheat.

Canonicalization Is Not For Saints
by Allyson | Jun 21, 2010 | SEO | 0 comments
Canonicalization sounds like a process for recognizing saints. But it's actually one of the most important aspects of organic SEO. Consolidating your URLs (see below), or "good" canonicalization means search engines crawl more pages of your site. It means that link authority and PageRank get consolidated, so you have a stronger link profile. It means fewer broken links from other sites. Bad canonicalization gets you all that stuff, but with the opposite effect.
DEFININTION
The simple definition of canonicalization is: "every resource on your web site has a single web address." This means every page, every image, every video, etc.. has only one Uniform Resource Locator (URL) for each page of content, image, video, etc..
A URLs look like this:
https://www.webtyde.com/
Or, https://www.webtyde.com/internet-marketing-blog/blog-entry.html.
Or, https:///www.webtyde.com/internet-marketing-blog/blog-entry.php?meh=123.
Note that I said 'page of content'. That means that a single page of content, article, product description or list of articles should appear at a single URL. You should never have multiple URLs for one product description, or one article.
Some of the overly complex content management systems and e-commerce suites out there make canonicalization a challenge. But it's doable.
Here's an example of "bad" canonicalization:
But it also lives at
https://webtyde.com/ ***NOTE: No www***
People will find the home page at all three versions. They won't know the difference, right? Well, sure…but search engines will. Googlebot sees the three above URLs as three different pages on the web. That has two major consequences that hurt SEO.
1.) You lose link authority.
If blogger "A" comes to 'www.webtyde.com' and links to that page, blogger "B" lands on 'webtyde.com' and links to that URL, and blogger "C" lands on 'www.webtyde.com/index.html' and links to that page, Googlebot sees three links to three different pages, and applies one"vote" to each one. These three links could have sent three authoritative signals to Googlebot for my site's home page. Instead, they're split into three weaker individual votes for three different pages.
2.) Search engines won't crawl your site as deeply as they might.
Search engines allocate resources for each crawl. No one knows exactly how, but it's safe to say Googlebot won't just wander around your site until its found every page. At some point, it gives up and leaves. If multiple pages on my site have multiple URLs, then visiting search bots waste time tracking down all of those different versions. That's time they could spend crawling other unique pages, instead. So fewer unique pages of our site end up in the search index, and we have fewer chances to rank.
So, if you're not already a client, give us a call so we can start cleaning up your website. Canonicalization fixes are generally simple, have a broad impact and let you fix multiple SEO problems at once. You'll get more link authority, deeper site crawls and better rankings. What are you waiting for?


Of course we should keep an eye on the Italians. But I feel confident in guessing that it's the other European election that people really want to know about. So here are some observations on the Hungarian elections, also starting on 9 April. The election was for the National Assembly, which has 386 seats, and fixed four-year terms.
Hungary uses the Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) voting, along with New Zealand, Italy, Albania, Venezuela, Mexico, Bolivia, Lesotho and Germany (where it originated). Without understanding the Italian system, I'm confident that the Hungarian is at least as complicated.
In the first round, you cast two votes: one for your single-representative district, and a second one for a party. The party votes elect members to each of 20 multi-member districts. If your favoured candidate in the single-member district isn't in the top three, or your party doesn't reach the threshold in the multi-member district, these votes are 'wasted'. The wasted votes are pooled and used to fill national seats reserved for this purpose from lists of candidates supplied by the parties. In the second round, two weeks later, the single-member seats are contested again if no one got a majority the first time, and only the top three can run. Also, allied parties do deals withdrawing candidates to maximise their votes in these districts.
The mixed system seems a good one, except that only about one in twenty people seems to understand it. Maybe that doesn't matter. Having two rounds is strange, though. The first round grips the nation's attention. But if the result is close, no one concedes defeat, and the campaign resumes again. By the time the second vote comes, people have largely lost interest, and voter turnout is much lower. At least the drawn–out process eases the pain of disappointment for the losers. If your loved one languishes in a coma for two weeks before dying, you have time to adjust. But compared to our sudden death elections, the Hungarian ones create a sense of anti-climax.
The result was that the Hungarian Socialist Party was returned to office, along with its small coalition partner, the Alliance of Free Democrats (liberal party). This is the first time a government has been returned in Hungary since elections started in 1989. It's easy to produce a trite explanation for the pattern up to now: oppositions have succeeded in portraying themselves as less corrupt and nepotistic than incumbent governments in a period of scary social and economic transformation. Until a year ago the opinion polls, along with the European Parliamentary Elections, predicted another change of government. But the socialists managed to turn it around by replacing their uncharismatic leader with a groovy new, 44-year-old, 190cm tall millionaire, who even has his own blog.
Apart from that, actually, I have no idea why Hungarians vote as they do. The local BBC correspondence interpreted this, in very knowing tones, as a 'vote for continuity and stability'. If you ask 'ordinary' people why they vote for Party X, they'll usually mention something that Party X has promised to spend money on. In fact both sides promised the earth despite the fact that the budget deficit is around 7 percent of GDP. The government boasted that it wouldn't be pushed around by the IMF; the opposition offered tax cuts with shameless Laffer-curve arguments.
In most countries, at least Anglo-Saxon ones, your average person in the street is averse to characterising his politics as left or right. Hungarians, however, if they divulge their views at all, will tell you they vote for 'The Left' or 'The Right'. The left means the Socialists, who are essentially the party of European integration, trans-national capital and tax churning. The right means FIDESZ, which, depending on whom you talk to, is either a conservative party, a radical right party, or the only real left-wing party. The last characterisation seems mainly due to the party's opposition to privatization, especially recent government proposals for hospitals. But as far as I can gather, this was pure opportunism, in line with most of their policies. The one element of their platform that is consistent is nationalism, reflected in their plans to give passports to ethnic Magyars in bordering countries, in definite protectionist tendencies, and in their general rhetoric and symbolism.
Hungarians tend to define themselves by, and are indeed polarised according to, how they respond to this approach, and to FIDESZ's leader Viktor Orbán. He is pretty much a one-man show, and people who don't see him as a messiah, tend to regard him as a dangerous demagogue. Campaigns are nasty and personal. Families and friendships are split by political allegiances in a way I've never seen elsewhere, and people are cagey about their politics for this reason. It's all very paradoxical to an outsider. If the differences between the parties' policies were substantial, families would tend to be affected in the same way, and vote the same way; the same applies, to some extent, to work colleagues. On the other hand, if the differences are so insubstantial, why do they elicit such strong emotion?
Anyway, FIDESZ now face a dilemma. Orbán has lost two elections, and, like a certain Australian opposition leader, will carry that baggage with him if he contests the next one. On the other hand, he is the only real face the party has. His departure might cause a fragmentation and realignment of 'conservative' forces. But this might not stop the 'right' winning the next election. Loyalties are fickle in a new democracy and small parties can make a run from nowhere and win government, as FIDESZ itself did in 1998. In the meantime, the Socialists will have to break half of their promises if they serious about adopting the Euro by 2010.
Symbolic politics (just like in the US).
And the differences are not insubstantial!
The socialists are blind market-lovers, of the worst right-wing sort. Not all of them, there are a number of traditional marxists/communists, leftist (varying colours) and technocracts without any personaly held political ideas (the majority).
Fidesz subscribe to a developmental state.
They are nationalists, but not in their economic policy, which they call patriotic economic policy (rightly).
It is important to note, that the mass media are under the contoll of Mr. Gyurcsany and his allies. Also, Fidesz had a very strange, inefficient, erratic campaign.
Besides this it is not over. There will be municipial elections in October (or September) and there is an imminent threat of a deep and serious financial crisis.


Galerie Mikael Andersen would like to welcome you to the opening of this year's Christmas exhibition KUNST & KRUKKER (POTS & PAINTINGS) with works by the gallery's artists and a selection of West Germany vases from the private collections of Mette Petri and Bertel Bjerre, Saturday 10 December, 2016, 1-4pm.
The term 'West Germany' comprises the large production of ceramics in West Germany from the early 1950s to the late 1970s. After the huge devastation of the Second World War the Marshall Plan sparked the industrial production in Germany, where a number of ceramics factories launched a mass production of vases.
The design of the West Germany vases can, among other influences, be traced back to the Bauhaus School of 1920s Germany and are characterised by their expressive colours, spectacular shapes and experimental glazes. Even though the materials used were not of a very high quality, the moulded vases got their unique appearance by being hand painted. When the psychedelic style of the 1970s faded, the interest decreased and the vases were simply thrown out or sold for a few marks. They were now considered ugly and out-dated.
During the last 10-15 years, the West Germany vases have regained their popularity and have become collector's items both in Denmark and abroad. The so-called Fat Lava vases, known for their distinctive layer of thick glaze that give the surface a lava like quality, are especially sought after today. By combining a number of examples in different shapes, sizes and colours, the vases, though isolated appearing perhaps clumsy and unsightly, gain a sculptural quality and a unique aesthetic.
The exhibition POTS & PAINTINGS is curated by artist Mette Petri and designer Bertel Bjerre. They present a selection of their West Germany vases in dialogue with works by Tom Anholt, Tjorg Douglas Beer, Jesper Christiansen, Erik A. Frandsen, Mette Petri and Kristian Touborg.

This past March Nimbus Records released the second volume in pianist Vladimir Feltsman's project to record the music of Franz Schubert. Like the first volume, which was released in April of 2014, the album offers two sonatas from different periods in Schubert's life, the 1819 D. 664 in A major and his very last sonata, D. 960 in B-flat major, composed only a few months before his death in November of 1828. This new release also follows the plan of the first volume by separating these two sonatas by shorter selections, in this case the D. 924 collection of the twelve "Grätzer" waltzes.
For those unfamiliar with the first volume, it is probably worth noting that Feltsman is making his recordings on a modern instrument. He is not interested in the sorts of sonorities that Schubert may have encountered on the instruments he played. His attention is fixed firmly on what Schubert wrote and how those marks on paper can be turned into a compelling account of Schubert's approach to "documenting" music. Note that choice of verb. There is a famous (notorious?) anecdote about Schubert's inability to play his own D. 760 ("Wanderer") fantasia. In writing about Feltsman's first volume, I compared the first movement of the D. 894 sonata in G major to a dramatic monologue; and there are valid grounds for the attentive listener to approach the two sonatas in this second volume as "acts of narration," even if those acts may not necessarily be grounded on an underlying narrative. From that point of view, the choice of instrument and the distinctive qualities of that instrument's sonorities are less significant than how Feltsman has chosen to phrase passages of a variety of different lengths and prolongations, many (if not most) of which firmly wean the mind of the listener beyond the conventions and expectations established during the eighteenth century.
To use the adjective that Arnold Schoenberg liked to apply to Johannes Brahms, both of these sonatas are "progressive;" but it is important to recognize that progression is recognized on a variety of different scales. For example, one of the most notable qualities of D. 664 is that the final cadence on the first movement comes back as the opening gesture of the second. (This makes for one of those rare instances in which listening to a recording may provide an advantage over a recital experiences, particularly if the recitalist has to wait for latecomers to take their seats after (s)he has finished the first movement!) This is one of those situations in which rhetoric has everything to do with the subtlety of a passing moment that is gone before mind registers that an unanticipated repetition has just occurred.
The "adventurism" of D. 960, on the other hand, is less subtle. Begin with the fact that the duration of the first movement is basically on the same scale as the sequence of the three movements that follow, the sort of grand design that lies fallow until cultivated further by Gustav Mahler (who was then followed by Dmitri Shostakovich). The epic scale of that movement then moves from B-flat major into C-sharp minor for the Andante sostenuto. Through this movement the attentive listener comes to recognize that Schubert not only understood Ludwig van Beethoven's rhetorical skill at making time stand still but also mastered it for his own purposes. The pianist who settles into this almost serene sense of timelessness will, however, still have to contend with Schubert's decision to have his coda shift into C-sharp major! Then, after a Scherzo that returns the listener (again with an abrupt transition) to the comfort of B-flat major (with a B-flat minor Trio), Schubert thrusts the listener into the frantic intensity (not really captured by an Allegro ma non troppo tempo marking) of the final movement in G minor, not allowing B-flat major to rear its head until the even more frantic Presto coda.
What is important about Feltsman's approach to execution is that he does not try to overplay any of these "progressive" aspects of either sonata. In his execution expressiveness is derived from a clear account of what Schubert had chosen to document. This is particularly important when it comes to guiding the attentive listener through the extended prolongations of D. 960 or letting the unexpected shifts in tonal center register without being overemphasized. In other words this second release of Feltsman's approach to Schubert is as engaging as his first was and will probably lead many listeners to await the next release with heightened anticipation.


Gone are the days that an ambitious young chef seeks out Guy Savoy or Michel Bras or a Michelin three-star restaurant in Paris to do a stage that makes their CV look fancier. Nowadays, you need to be able to claim having done some time with René Redzepi at Noma in Copenhagen in order to feel cool. At least that's what we've learned today via both Adam Platt's review of New York's Atera, run by a Noma alum, and a piece in the Wall Street Journal about all the ex-Noma cooks (Nomads?) who have spread around the U.S. and the world opening up new, geographically specific restaurants in a similar vein — including recent Food & Wine Best New Chef honoree Blaine Wetzel of the Willows Inn, on Lummi Island near Seattle.
So long as Noma holds its position at the top of the S. Pellegrino list of the best restaurants in the world, the trend is likely to continue. And Noma "alums" will quickly become a dime a dozen.

Home/Business/FG, FrieslandCampina WAMCO sign MoU to boost network of milk suppliers.
FG, FrieslandCampina WAMCO sign MoU to boost network of milk suppliers.
MediaWaves Editor August 20, 2021 Business, News Leave a comment
The Federal Government of Nigeria and FrieslandCampina WAMCO Coy have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to increase the network of milk suppliers in the country.
The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Alhaji Muhammad Nanono in a statement issued by the ministry's Information Officer 11, Mr Mohammed Gana, on Thursday in Abuja said the partnership is to strengthen the dairy value chain by improving the quality of locally produced milk and to boost production.
FrieslandCampina WAMCO is the producer of Peak, Three Crowns, Olympic, Nunu and Coast milk brands and also a critical stakeholder in Nigeria's livestock subsector.
Nanono said that the significance of the Dairy Value Chain MoU was to strengthen the small holder dairy farming business.
He said this would help to transform the largely nomadic cattle herders to sedentary dairy farmers and also provide the required infrastructure and training in the Dairy Value Chain.
"The ministry will set up crossbreeding centres to produce quality heifers and strengthen the capacity of pastoralists and small holder dairy farmers to produce and supply raw milk to increase the market share of locally produced milk.
"Also creating employable labour and expansion of investment opportunities for farmers' prosperity."
He said that the ministry and FrieslandCampina WAMCO have earlier collaborated on key programmes such as the Centre for Nigerian Dutch Dairy Development (CNDDD).
Others are the Value for Dairy Consortium, which builds local expertise and strengthens relevant institutions to be self-sufficient in shaping the Nigerian dairy industry.
"The collaboration has been pulling together value chain actors with the right support from expert partners," he said.
He lauded the FrieslandCampina WAMCO for its commitment towards carrying out programmes and projects aimed at accelerating the pace of development in the Dairy Value Chain in Nigeria.
Mr Ben Langat, the Managing Director, FrieslandCampina WAMCO, said that the initial MoU established a structure and model for dairy development in the country.
"It brought to focus the urgent need to put in place the right infrastructure and expertise that will support local milk sourcing in Nigeria.
"Building on the progress made, the renewal of the MoU will enable both parties to replicate the successes achieved in the past 10 years in Oyo, Ogun, Niger, Osun and Kwara States.
"Also in other parts of Nigeria whilst supporting various dairy co-operatives in the country," he said.
Langat explained that under the MoU, both parties would provide a networking environment for 30,000 cattle herders and transform dairy farming practices by introducing improved techniques.
He added that this would also provide farmers with extension services to enhance raw milk quality and farm productivity.
"We will introduce commercial credit to farmers and build confidence between benefiting farmers and financial institutions for viable agri-business," he said.
The partnership seeks to support mutual goal of expanding economic opportunities in the dairy sub-sector and agreement to renew the MoU would reflect mutual intention to cooperate, coordinate and combine resources to achieve this objective.
According to the statement, the MoU will take concrete steps to resolve the challenges identified in the past five years.

The family of Dr. Essam el-Haddad, 64, an adviser to President Mohamed Morsi, confirmed that his health is continuously deteriorating in his detention at Al 'Aqrab prison
Mona Imam, wife of Dr. El-Haddad, said in a statement on Facebook : "I learned yesterday's [Wednesday] morning that my husband is very ill, and that the prison officials are denying his request to be seen by a cardiologist to perform a cardiac catheterization that he needs, and preventing him from speaking to the court to submit such request"
She added: "For over a month and half since he was diagnosed with a stenosed artery in his heart and weakness in the heart muscle, the prison administration refuses he gets the heart procedure and proper treatment, as a result his health has deteriorated, and his blood sugar dropped to 50, especially after he began a hunger strike on November 13 to protest ill-treatment and deliberate medical negligence"
Similarly, former Muslim Brotherhood media spokesman Ahmad Aref, and several other political prisoners in Al 'Aqrab prison announced on November 16th they began a hunger strike to protest systematic torture they are enduring in prisons.

Details Emerge of AMD Job Cuts, Restructuring
By Jane McEntegart
Details of the recent layoffs and financial restructuring of Advanced Micro Devices' are laid bare in a recent SEC filing. The filing shows the company laid off 600 people, 100 more than the initial figure of 500 a company spokesperson announced in November, which in turn had an effect on restructuring costs for Q4 as well as 2009.
Reuters reports that AMD yesterday said it laid off 600 people in Q4, which had a knock on effect on the amount of money the company spent on restructuring during the fourth quarter. The extra hundred layoffs saw the company's total cost of restructuring for Q4 shoot up to $70 million, $20 million more than the estimated $50 million earlier in the quarter. AMD will also need to make further cost reductions early next year to compensate for the extra cash spent.
While AMD would not provide an estimate for 2009 costs, the SEC filing also reports that the company will bear the burden of another charge in relation to its purchase of ATI. Charges related to ATI topped $800 million in the June quarter and the latest charge is on top of impairment charges amounting to $20 million for the company's investment in chip manufacturer, Spansion.
A fortnight ago, AMD announced that the Empire State Development Corporation and the New York Public Authorities Control Board had voted to approve the transfer of development incentives from AMD to "The Foundry Company," the temporary name for the new U.S.-headquartered, semiconductor manufacturing plant that it announced in October.
