Reconciliation in the Western Balkans: The difficulty of emulating the EU model
In 2017, the European Union turned 60, celebrating not only six decades of peace between its Member States but also integration – based on a framework for a peaceful European ethos – which helped bring reconciliation to its citizens that would have otherwise been impossible to achieve. In the Western Balkans, which were torn apart by wars after the disintegration of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, conflicting narratives about the past continue to charge intra-regional relations with animosity ...
In 2017, the European Union turned 60, celebrating not only six decades of peace between its Member States but also integration – based on a framework for a peaceful European ethos – which helped bring reconciliation to its citizens that would have otherwise been impossible to achieve. In the Western Balkans, which were torn apart by wars after the disintegration of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, conflicting narratives about the past continue to charge intra-regional relations with animosity, and a number of bilateral disputes await resolution. Just as the European Communities helped to bring peace to post-World War II western Europe, so does the EU promote the reconciliation process in the countries that were once part of Yugoslavia. A credible promise of accession to the EU for all Western Balkan countries gives them an incentive to improve their working relationships and work on reconciliation more vigorously. Since 2017, the EU has renewed its attempts to infuse the Western Balkan countries' enlargement process with fresh energy. In a March 2018 statement, the EU High Representative, Federica Mogherini, said it was 'time to close the wounds of the past' and take steps to guarantee stability for the whole of Europe. The European Commission's new enlargement strategy of February 2018, apart from placing special emphasis on solving all bilateral disputes, highlights reconciliation as a prerequisite for EU accession, and envisages a dedicated flagship initiative. This briefing aims to draw attention to the importance of reconciliation, both as part of the Western Balkans' EU integration process and as an answer to the region's widely perceived need to come to terms with the past. Civil-society representatives and experts often see reconciliation in the region as a prerequisite for building sustainable cooperation in many areas and a process that would help local youth to overcome their prejudices and restore their trust in their countries and region. However, achieving reconciliation requires cooperation in practice, something that will likely take decades to accomplish.

Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance (IPA III)
On 14 June 2018, the European Commission published a proposal for a regulation establishing the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance (IPA) III as part of a set of external action instruments under the new 2021 to 2027 multiannual financial framework (MFF). The proposed financial envelope represents a 1.1 % decrease compared with current funding (€12.9 billion in 2018 prices). Beneficiaries include the Western Balkan countries and Turkey. The IPA, set up for the 2007 to 2013 MFF, aims to prepare ...
On 14 June 2018, the European Commission published a proposal for a regulation establishing the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance (IPA) III as part of a set of external action instruments under the new 2021 to 2027 multiannual financial framework (MFF). The proposed financial envelope represents a 1.1 % decrease compared with current funding (€12.9 billion in 2018 prices). Beneficiaries include the Western Balkan countries and Turkey. The IPA, set up for the 2007 to 2013 MFF, aims to prepare candidate and potential candidate countries for EU membership and supports them in adopting and implementing the necessary political, institutional, legal, administrative, social and economic reforms. IPA III is clearly positioned in the context of the new Western Balkan strategy, adopted in February 2018, and builds in flexibility via à vis the evolving situation in Turkey. It is also designed to complement the EU's internal policies. In Parliament, the file has been allocated to the Committee for Foreign Affairs (AFET), with José Ignacio Salafranca Sánchez-Neyra (EPP, Spain) and Knut Fleckenstein (S&D, Germany) as co-rapporteurs. The draft report presented by the rapporteurs on 30 October 2018 is now awaiting adoption by AFET. First edition. EU Legislation in Progress briefings are updated at key stages throughout the legislative procedure.

Montenegro – a lead candidate for EU accession

Women in the Western Balkans: Gender equality in the EU accession process
Equality between women and men, or gender equality, is a fundamental right and a common value, recognised by the EU. It has been a component of the European integration project from its outset. Enshrined in the EU Treaties, gender equality forms part of the accession conditions with which candidate and potential candidates from the Western Balkans (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro and Serbia) have to comply.

Equality between women and men, or gender equality, is a fundamental right and a common value, recognised by the EU. It has been a component of the European integration project from its outset. Enshrined in the EU Treaties, gender equality forms part of the accession conditions with which candidate and potential candidates from the Western Balkans (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro and Serbia) have to comply. Investing in gender equality, however, is essential not only as an EU requirement, but for an equal society. Although progress has been noted in these countries as regards gender equality, more work is still required. Equal opportunities would allow EU candidate countries to better tap into the potential and skills of women, and underpin achievements in areas such as economic growth, employment and social cohesion, as well as in peace-building. As part of their preparation for an EU future, the Western Balkan countries have taken steps to advance women's rights in recent years. These include adopting or amending relevant legislation (e.g. criminal and labour laws), elaborating national strategies and action plans, and establishing institutional mechanisms to carry out and monitor relevant policies. Nevertheless, promoting gender equality is often sidelined, and the action taken in this respect is insufficient. Ensuring equality between women and men remains 'unfinished business' in a region where traditional gender roles are deep-rooted and social attitudes and lack of awareness of women's rights are at the core of the problem. This Briefing aims to highlight the EU's efforts to promote gender equality as part of EU enlargement policy, and the way the EU strives to mainstream equality across the board. It also aims to cast light on some major challenges that women face in the Western Balkans, such as their weaker roles in economy and politics, and widespread gender-based violence. This follows up the June 2017 briefing on 'Rights and empowerment of women in the Western Balkans'.

Sayra Pinto
Caesar McDowell
A Conversation with Sayra Pinto
Sayra Pinto is an advocate for social justice and the former director of the VIA Project, a unique "street school" of Roca, Inc., a community-building organization in Chelsea, Massachusetts. Sayra's childhood in Honduras and youth as an immigrant teenager in America helped to prepare her for her career. She is a graduate of Middlebury College and attended graduate school in Spanish language and literature. Sayra was interviewed by the Center's Patti Marxsen in 2004.
PM: Tell me about your childhood.
SP: I was raised in Honduras and left by my mother when I was two. I was born out of a rape so there was a lot of drama and trauma around my birth.
PM: What are your first memories?
SP: When I was about three or four I was at the ocean in an inflatable inner tube. I looked down into the water and I fell into the ocean. It was deeper than I thought, so I ended up at the bottom and no one noticed.
PM: How did you get back to the top?
SP: I remember sitting on the bottom of the ocean and looking up at the sun. I remember the sand and water and emptiness. I looked up and I realized that I couldn't breathe and I didn't know what to do. Then I heard the voice that said, "Calm down."
PM: Calm down?
SP: Yes, because I was starting to panic. I heard a woman's voice say, "Calm down." Then she told me to stand up and I stood up. She told me to move my arms and I moved my arms and finally she told me to just reach up.
PM: It wasn't an actual person calling to you?
SP: No.
PM: Do you believe in angels?
SP: I believe in spirits. I believe that we are not alone.
PM: What was your home like?
SP: I have a brother who grew up with me and three cousins, who were also left by their parents. We lived in grandma's house. My aunt was a nurse so she worked to sustain the household. We grew up in a lower middle-class neighborhood in a town that developed around the banana plantations. It's a mile away from the airport where all the U.S. planes were landing, loaded with weapons that poured into Honduras to help control what was happening in Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guatemala. Honduras is a very strategic place for the United States so there has always been this militarized presence.
PM: How did the civil wars going on around Honduras affect daily life?
SP: There were refugees. There was also a clear investment in making sure that Honduras didn't go towards the left. That meant a lot of social control; people lived in fear. For example, we didn't have freedom of the press until 1992.
PM: How did you experience this atmosphere as a child?
SP: There was a fair amount of violence in the community and because I grew up in a household with no men, it was a vulnerable household. I am a survivor of sexual abuse and rape. The educational system was very controlling as well. I have always been a little bit of a rule breaker, so I experienced a lot of punishment around freedom of expression.
PM: Your grandmother, Herminia Pinto, was the center of your household. What did you learn from her that has helped you in your adult life?
SP: She was in a wheelchair, so we had to find a way to take care of grandma every day. But she created a sense of connection that we otherwise would not have had.
PM: It's interesting that a person who might be considered helpless would provide the connection that kept you all together.
SP: She was indigenous, and we were growing up in an environment where things were changing. She was almost like the voice of the elders for us. She commanded respect.
PM: Did you go to church?
SP: My brother and I ended up in a Catholic school; there were many dynamics that were really painful about that because we were orphans and there was a perception of orphans as damned.
PM: When did you learn the story of how your mother rejected you and, ultimately, abandoned you because you were a child of rape?
SP: I was 24 when my mother told me.
PM: You were 12 years old when you came to the United States to be reunited with your mother. Then you migrated to the Boston area where you had other family members. What special problems have you faced as a Latin-American woman in American society?
Central-American people are deeply connected to their indigenous inheritance.SP: "Latin-American" refers to such a varied group of people. You have people who have legal status and people who don't. You have people who become citizens and people who are born citizens. Then you have cultural differences, depending on where you come from. For example, Central-American people are deeply connected to their indigenous inheritance, and there are some fundamental differences in the way indigenous people move through their lives, as opposed to Western ways of moving through life. Values are different, families are different. It's not necessarily about political practice, but about simple ways of being.
PM: Can you share an example?
SP: Central-American culture is very formal and relies on an honor system. In Latino-Caribbean culture, people are far more relational. People tend to feel more connected if they have fun together, as opposed to very formal ways of building relationships. There is a real clash because of that. You might be really nice and you might have a lot of fun, but that doesn't mean you are gaining respect and prestige in a community where formality matters more than fun.
PM: How have your own indigenous origins helped or hindered your adaptation to American culture?
SP: I think my cultural background helped me be open and remain innocent for a very long time because of our appreciation of the sacredness of each being. I don't believe my cultural background hindered any adaptation process, though American culture's trend of intolerance, xenophobia, and rejection has damaged me . . . and continues to exert pressure on me as I keep choosing to remain open, versus materialistic, untrusting, and judgmental of people in this country. I think I feel this pressure most when I make decisions based on principles and values versus personal gain.
PM: And yet you feel committed to carving out a place for yourself, and for your people.
SP: Yes, because the world needs us. Us, from the heart out. This is risky because we have had to learn to hide to save ourselves from the savage actions of people who are part of American culture and subscribe to the idea of Western expansion. Yet, given the state of the world, it's also risky not to unleash our voices, our hearts, and our hopes. So we are walking a tightrope, along with the rest of the world.
PM: Does being a woman make a difference when it comes to cultural adaptation?
SP: Within my immediate family and cultural milieu, I've had to justify being publicly engaged because the proper women's role is private in my culture. The other complication is that I am openly lesbian. My family has reflected upon my experience and translated that into their lives. It has brought us closer and this has made them happier in their own personal lives. The women in the family, and even my brother, have become more free as a result of my coming out. It's been liberating for them.
PM: In so many ways it sounds as if you are leading your family along the path. You are the trailblazer.
SP: It's a more complex picture than that. I think each of the five of us who grew up in my grandmother's house and then came to this country is trying to figure life out. As we do this, we are liberating the elders in our family.
PM: Who have been your mentors, and do you think it's important for young people to have mentors?
Mentors are important because they can help young people to sustain a sense of newness about the world.SP: My fourth grade teacher was the first man who treated me kindly and who encouraged me to use my voice. The aunt who raised me was in love with her work and was passionate about helping others, so I learned from her to take the harder journey for peace of mind. Molly Baldwin, Roca's executive director, helped me understand the price of leadership and dedication to those who are at the margins of our society. And Bud Tackett, Judy Brown, and Grandmother Georgina Larocque ushered me into a new understanding of the indigenous in all of us, and into the courage it takes to be value-driven and faith-based. I have been very blessed by all their contributions to my life. Mentors are important because they can help young people to sustain a sense of newness about the world and, so, to maximize their creativity.
PM: In addition to the wonderful mentors you just mentioned, there is something about your character or your spiritual outlook that allowed you to open yourself to all the positive changes that have come about for you. What do you think that something is?
SP: I had a very strong base with my aunt and with school. School was very important. Then there's also this sense of having been meant to do great things. I don't know where that came from but it has always been there.
PM: Let's talk about your work with the VIA Project. First of all, what is it?
SP: The best way to explain it is to say it's a street school that no one can get kicked out of, a learning space for gang members and street kids. VIA stands for vision, intention, action. It offers a continuum of learning capacity from the street to the classroom and to work.
PM: How did you get kids off the street and into a classroom?
SP: It's a long process depending on trauma, substance abuse issues, learning styles, skills, street involvement. You have to build relationships first and then, little by little, we ask people to think about what they need to do for themselves.
PM: What have you learned about empowering young people?
SP: It's about listening and being open and loving them. It's about doing what you say you are going to do, so they can trust you and learn to trust themselves.
PM: Yes, but what are you empowering them for?
SP: I would not say I am "empowering youth." I am sharing my journey with young people and they are sharing and enriching mine. Young people are making choices all the time and most of them want to live. They want to know what clean air is, and water, and earth. They want to see animals and be connected to the life of this planet. They need adults to walk with them and share knowledge, stories, love, and compassion, so they can learn how to sustain the world in the future.
PM: What will the next step on your journey be?
SP: I'm inviting various communities to launch a new organization that will focus at first on Latino youth development and the use of indigenous practices for community building. Ideally, it will become a learning ground for other communities. We're calling it the Praxis Project. Praxis is a word coined by my biggest intellectual mentor, Paolo Freire, to depict the process where theory and practice merge.
PM: You have said that if you were not doing what you do now, you would be a professor of literature. What purpose does literature serve in the world?
SP: I think of it as a repository of memory. I'm really fascinated with the connection between time and space in literature. That comes from Mikhail Bakhtin, who spent the bulk of his life in prison in Siberia. His idea of a novel has to do with carnival. When you have a society where you have carnival, everything gets suspended for the purpose of the carnival. The sense of time and order and social customs get suspended for the activities of carnival. One of the things that happens in carnival is that under-the- surface expressions of culture come to the surface and are expressed in very dramatic, artistic, and theatrical ways. Think of Mardi Gras in New Orleans or of carnivals in the Caribbean islands and just in general. You have a suspension of the norm. Yet, the things that inhabit carnival are the most real of all things, and the true impulses of human nature come out in the mix. The novel is really one of the few spaces that reminds me of community space because, although measured in its intent, source, and form, the life of the novel extends beyond ordinary frameworks and interacts differently in the minds of both reader(s) and author(s). This effect reminds me very much of the nature of ongoing life in community, where change occurs also in relationship to time/space dynamics. This creates a baseline instability that extends beyond whatever systems of monitoring, policing, or control the government and/or any other institutions place upon these very fluid networks.
PM: If you could put a message in the pocket of every kid on the planet, what would it say?
SP: You make the world.
"Young people need adults to walk with them and share knowledge, stories, love, and compassion, so they can learn how to sustain the world in the future."

Pacific News Minute: Setback for Tongan Monarchy as Democratic Reformers Sweep Elections
By Neal Conan • Nov 28, 2017

Later this week, Tonga's freshly elected parliament will gather to elect a prime minister and form a new government – which is expected to look a great deal like the last government after the ruling Democratic Party scored a resounding victory two weeks ago. We have details from Neal Conan in today's Pacific News Minute.
King George Tupou VI forced this election a year ahead of schedule, when he took the unprecedented step of dissolving parliament. The King and Tonga's nobles cited several complaints with the government of 'Akilisi Pohiva, but the key issue was a dispute over the power to name the Police Commissioner, the Attorney General and the anti-corruption Commissioner.
Under the monarchy, those appointments rested with the King and his Privy Council, but, as part of Tonga's gradual transition to democratic rule, the Prime Minister moved to transfer that authority to the elected government.
The King and the nobles appear to have miscalculated. Pohiva's Democratic Party won 14 of 17 seats and the veteran reformer emerged with a mandate to press ahead with change. Teena Brown Pulu, a senior lecturer at the Aukland University of Technology told Radio New Zealand, "The People were sending a very strong message to the nobility that you need to shift your thinking."
Malakai Koloamatangi of the Pasifika University told the New Zealand website NewsHub, "I see it as a continued evolution of power, it's part of the King becoming more ceremonial."
In that ceremonial capacity, the King will welcome Tonga's rugby team back home this week after a bitterly disputed loss in the semi-finals of the World Cup. Tonga's team staged a furious comeback against England, but the referee disallowed a last second score that would have won the match…more than 50,000 people have signed an online petition of protest.

The buoyant run of Royal Challengers Bangalore faltered at an unexpected hurdle in Mohali. A win against Kings XI Punjab would have strengthened their chances of qualification to play-offs but instead they went down by 22 runs in a rain-curtailed match.
RCB pacer David Wiese admitted it was frustrating to lose at such a crucial stage of the tournament but took solace in a defined target. "It is a bit frustrating because no one likes to lose so close to the business end of the tournament. We are still playing good cricket though, and have got a bit of momentum moving forward. What makes our task easier is that we know what we have to do next – just win the remaining two games and secure the play-offs spot. It is disappointing to lose here but we are looking forward to the next two matches," Wiese told reporters on Wednesday.
The 29-year-old South African conceded that Kings XI Punjab bowlers bowled brilliantly at the death overs. "I think in a shortened game like this the team which does the basics right is going to end up having things in its favour. They (KXIP) bowled well particularly at the death. They had good plans and executed them well. If we have to be honest with ourselves they were better than us on the night," he said.
Wiese said time was their biggest enemy in the truncated contest. "It is always difficult to go after the bowlers from the first ball. Every batsman likes to take his time in the middle but unfortunately, the situation we were in, we didn't have that luxury. Even though AB (de Villiers) is the best in the world and we have top three quality batsmen with us, it is difficult to go from ball number one," he said.

Udinese vs AC Milan
Serie A, KO: 19:45 Dec 11, 2021, Dacia Arena
After climbing to the summit of Serie A, AC Milan are set to consolidate their position as they travel to Udinese on Saturday. The hosts have endured a torrid campaign and could be in for a difficult time against the league leaders.
It has been an erratic campaign for Udinese, who are in the bottom half of the table, just six points above the relegation zone. Things appear to be getting steadily worse as they head into Saturday's clash having claimed just one win from their last 10 matches.
Luca Gotti's men are coming off a 3-1 defeat at Empoli in their previous Serie A fixture. They led at the break thanks to Gerard Deulofeu's early effort but failed to press their advantage and conceded three times in the second half.
The manner of the defeat at Empoli points to defensive problems that have plagued Udinese throughout the season. They have thrown away the lead in their last two matches, conceding seven goals in that run.
AC Milan will travel to Udinese feeling hurt after crashing out of the UEFA Champions League in midweek following a 2-1 defeat to Liverpool. It was a disappointing campaign for the former champions as they claimed just one win in six matches and finished bottom of their group.
While the European exit will be disappointing for AC Milan, it could give them the opportunity to focus all their attention on their domestic campaign. Stefano Pioli's men are a point clear at the top of Serie A table following a 2-0 victory over Salernitana last time out.
AC Milan have surprisingly done their best work on their travels this season with just one defeat in eight away matches in Serie A. They have claimed six wins in that run, including a 3-0 victory over Genoa in their previous fixture on the road.
AC Milan are favourites among the bookies at 10/11 with William Hill while a victory for Udinese is priced at 10/3 by BetVictor. MansionBet is offering odds of 27/10 for a draw.
AC Milan have the upper hand in this fixture and are unbeaten in the last eight matches against Udinese. The Rossoneri claimed a 2-1 victory on their last visit to the Dacia Arena.
Beto continues to be the shining light for Udinese this season and has scored three goals in his last five matches. Sporting Index has the Portuguese forward at odds of 14/5 to score anytime on Saturday.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic continues to roll back the years for AC Milan and heads to Udinese with five goals in his last four away matches. The Swedish striker is priced at 13/10 by Betfred to get on the score sheet.
There has been BTTS in three of the last four meetings between Udinese and AC Milan and a similar outcome is priced at 11/13 with SBK. Over 2.5 goals can also be considered at 10/11 with bet365 while BetVictor is offering 13/5 for over 3.5 goals.
AC Milan have scored in both halves in four of their last five away matches in Serie A and a repeat could be on the cards at 2/1 with Skybet.
This Serie A match between Udinese and AC Milan will be played on Dec 11, 2021 and kick off at 19:45. Check below for our tipsters best Udinese vs AC Milan prediction. You may also visit our dedicated betting previews section for the most up to date previews.

If you're planning bathroom remodel, but can't decide on the style, you should consider decorating a modern bathroom. Modern bathroom designs are gaining popularity among other styles. This type of design will provide a clean and organized look in the room, no matter what its size. In this post, we will give you a few tips on decorating a modern bathroom.
Modern bathroom design is a great choice for small bathrooms. It gives you many opportunities to turn the space you have available into a practical and functional one with a few minimalist furnishings, which allow enough storage space. With some creativity, you can make the most of the space you have available. Keep thing simple. Choose minimalist vanity units with clean lines and contemporary shape. If you need some additional storage options, you can buy a wall-hung cabinet or a few shelves. This way you'll have plenty of storage space to keep all the necessary items in your bathroom.
With modern bathroom design you don't need too many decorative objects, intricate towel hangers and flashy bathroom accessories. However, you still need to choose a color scheme for the bathroom. Glossy white surfaces are a great choice for smaller spaces. This color never goes out of fashion. In addition, it will make the room look and feel larger. Alternatively, you may consider furniture with natural wood finishes, which will add a spa-like feeling to your modern bathroom. Beech and maple are gaining popularity in contemporary interior design.
If you don't use a bathtub too often, you may consider replacing it with a contemporary shower enclosure. This is a great way to save some space in the bathroom, without sacrificing any essential features. You can choose a shower enclosure with glass panels and steel frames for a more futuristic look. You can also find many contemporary mixer taps, which will complete the look of your modern bathroom.
Modern bathroom design works well with any size of bathroom. Look at some pictures online or in interior design magazines for inspiration before you decide to take action. If your budget allows it, you can get really creative and give your modern bathroom a truly futuristic look.


Most people assume that a professional moving company will transport anything that the consumers ask them to. However, what many people don't know is that most moving companies have a list of non-allowable items that they cannot transport.
Today we are going to give you a list of non-allowable items, as well as let you know why movers can't transport them. Use this list to help you pack and prepare for moving day.
Why Do Companies Have Non-Allowable Items They Don't Move?
There are a host of reasons why items might be put on the non-allowable items list. To help you understand why, here are the four main reasons movers cannot transport certain items.
Oftentimes, items that make the non-allowable list are considered hazardous to transport long distances. These could be items like chemicals, gasoline, or flammables like fireworks and matches. For the safety of everyone else on the road, as well as all of the other goods being transported in the moving vehicle, items like these are non-allowable.
Laws can change state by state or regionally concerning the transportation of certain items (i.e. liquor or firearms). For this reason, moving companies cannot transport these items as they could lead to legal liabilities for the company.
Speaking of liabilities, documents of great legal importance also cannot be transported by movers. These are things like birth certificates, social security cards, marriage certificates, bank statements, etc. Documents of legal importance should always be transported by you, especially if they are going long distances. Mistakes can happen while moving, so with items of such importance, you can never be too careful.
Anything that is perishable is also something that movers will be unable to transport for you. Because moving is often a long process and most moving trucks lack air conditioning, food and other perishables are absolutely off limits for movers to transport and should be disposed of before moving day.
Now that we've gone over the reasons why movers can't move certain items, let's get into what items are on the non-allowable list.
While this may sound obvious, you might be surprised at all the different items that are considered hazardous. Let's go over some of them.
Many of these items are dangerous or have legal complications when transported, so make sure to check your moving company's non-allowable items list on their website and call them with any questions you may have before moving day arrives.
It probably comes as no surprise that movers cannot transport your firearms or ammunition. Because of the hosts of legal complications and regionally changing laws, you must find other means of transporting your firearms and accessories to your new home.
As mentioned earlier, liquor falls under the non-allowable items list due to changing laws state by state. Some other non-allowable liquids include things like bleach, household cleaners, paint thinners, primers, pesticides, aerosol cans, weed killers, or rodent poisons.
This is a more obvious non-allowable item. Who wants to drive a moving truck for two days cross country to finally arrive at the destination and open the truck to the smell of rotten cheese?
Perishable foods should be eaten, disposed of, or given away before moving day. There's no way that your perishable food items will survive the long, hot drive to your new home. So make sure you are prepared and your fridge is thoroughly cleaned and emptied before moving day rolls round.
It will probably come as no surprise that another item on the non-allowed moving list is pets. Moving companies cannot transport pets for many reasons. For one, the journey moving a pet cross country in the back of a moving truck would be a terrible experience for your companion. It can be hot, claustrophobic, and very confusing or stressing to an animal to be moved this way. It will be much easier and healthier if you arrange other moving plans for your furry or feathered friend, that way you won't need to worry and you'll spare your pet a lot of anxiety.
Another live thing that movers cannot transport for you is plants. Plants are often very delicate and could be damaged during the long commute, not to mention they might not receive the proper care and watering they need during the journey. If you can't arrange other transportation for your plants it might be time to rehome them with a friend or family member in your area before your move.
This concludes our list of what you shouldn't pack when you are moving! We hope this list has been informative and that you feel more prepared knowing what items are on the non-allowable list.
If you are getting ready for a move in the near future, or have any questions about the moving process, be sure to contact On The Go Moving today.

Netflix coming to the UK in 2012?
By Chris Smith 2011-07-15T20:15:00.195Z Internet
US streaming giant set to battle LoveFilm in European invasion
A UK Netflix launch would be huge news.
Netflix is to bring its US-dominating movie streaming and rental service to the UK as part of a European expansion, according to industry bible Variety.
The report claims that the UK and Spain will be first in line for a European launch, perhaps as soon as Q1 of 2012
Variety says that Netflix officials met with Europen movie distributors last week to discuss the plans, although the company declined to comment.
LoveFilm beater?
Any UK plans would put the service into direct competition with LoveFilm which has an equally strong grip on the British scene, and provides an identical service.
Earlier this week, the Amazon-owned LoveFilm announced plans to boost its London-based workforce in order to bolster its digital offering.
Netflix on the other hand has endured a rough week with an enormous customer backlash over its decision to hit users with a 60 per cent price hike.
Earlier this year Netflix announced plans to expand its rental and on-demand service to 43 countries across Latin America and the Caribbean, so a European invasion wouldn't be a huge surprise.

Signed forward Sean Murphy to a six-year contract extension
Atlanta Braves Tuesday announced That catcher, Sean Murphy, signed a six-year contract that guarantees him $73 million through the 2028 season. The contract includes a $15 million club option for 2019 with no buyout. If the additional year is implemented, it will push the total to $88 million.
The Braves recently acquired Murphy from the Oakland A's in a three-team, nine-player blockbuster deal that also involved the Milwaukee Brewers. Murphy, 28, is one of the most versatile backstops in baseball thanks to an above-average bat and a good glove. Since 2020, he has averaged 14 home runs and compiled a .235/.326/.422 slash line (113 OPS+) while providing top-notch defense. According to Statcast, Murphy ranked in the 86th percentile in framing runs last season. Given how he set a new career high in exit velocity last season and ranked in the 94th percentile, it's worth wondering if there's some more offensive upside to unlock here. He was slated for free agency after the 2025 season, but this extension now pushes that to at least the 2028-29 season, when Murphy will be 34 years old.
Murphy became the latest player to make a long-term commitment to the Braves. In addition to Murphy, Atlanta is locked up through at least the 2026 season — assuming team options are exercised — talents like Ronald Acuna Jr., Ozzie Albies, Matt Olsen, Austin Riley, Spencer Strider and Michael Harris. Suffice it to say, that's a young/young-ish core that's the envy of every team in baseball. Murphy is part of that now and if he stays healthy, he's set to be behind the plate in Atlanta for years to come.

These set of 2 nestable wooden boxes are seriously pretty and waiting for you to keep your treasured possessions within. The floral butterfly print in pastel colors add to its beauty. Perfect for jewelry, stationary, cutlery or miscellaneous trinkets and personal items!


Right now we're enjoying some of the audiobooks we purchased during the Audible "Kids' Listening Sale" on Amazon. We don't have an Audible membership, so it has been fantastic to be able to take advantage of these deals. Even better, since these are downloads, we don't have to wait to start enjoying them.
My children definitely prefer that I read to them (which surprises me because I'm not a big fan of hearing myself read out loud). However, for times when I'm too tired to read or for long car rides, these are great! So far I've really been pleased with the narrators, too. Good narrators certainly help make the story exciting and engaging!
These are just a few of the great books they have on sale. After the list you'll find a fun freebie I created for us to use with some of our audiobooks (as well as our "regular" books)!
I'm listing these because they're a great deal, but we actually prefer the books over the audiobooks because of the heavy picture content in the books. If you're traveling, these would be perfect for long car rides!
The Peter Rabbit Collection – .95 CENTS!
Last but not least, it's time for another giveaway! Since we are featuring audiobooks in this post, we want to give away a set of Adventures in Odyssey CDs! We're giving away one Adventures in Odyssey: Countdown to Christmas Advent Collection. Check out our Facebook page to enter.


If you are a frequent traveler, then you may have already seen all the typical tourist destinations. Even those that are not so well known, are starting to become more popular as people seek out new experiences. Where in the world can you go that hasn't been visited by many people before?
There are still a few alternative locations that have stayed relatively quiet but still offer the traveler the ideal holiday.
As most of you already know, Vatican City is one of the most beautiful and interesting places in the world. Vatican City is a city state that is completely surrounded by Rome, Italy. Not only is this place home to one of the most powerful religious figures on Earth, the Pope, it also has amazing architecture and a rich history. If you are lucky enough to be going to this amazing place in the near future, then you should really pay attention to the information below. Today, we are going to learn three of the top things to do while visiting Vatican City.
Whether your group trip includes family members or friends, making arrangements and booking accommodations for a larger number of people can be challenging. It can, however, save you some money as discount rates are often available for larger parties. For this reason, many families plan destination vacations as a group, including any variety of familial relationships.
India is a popular tourist destination country because of its rich culture, beautiful attractions, delicious cuisine, thriving entertainment industry, and friendly, accommodating people. This is especially true in the country's most visited cities that include New Delhi, Mumbai, Agra (where the world-famous Taj Mahal is located), Calcutta, and Bangalore. However, as a country that is slightly more than a third the size of the United States, India certainly has so much more to offer tourists beyond what their largest cities have been known to provide.
Paris is known as the City of Love, and Las Vegas is referred to as Sin City. Adelaide has been called the City of Churches (though as comedian Danny Bhoy once said, "I think Rome might have something to say about that!"). As for the country of Belize? Individual cities may have their own monikers, but those who have visited this humble country tends to agree that it could be called the Country of Relaxation, or the Country of Serenity.
Orlando offers no shortage of things to keep tourists, and locals, occupied 365 days a year.
Orlando is one of the only places where you can watch live-alligator feedings in the morning, catch a riotous soccer game in the afternoon and close out the evening with a rocking live-concert. With that in mind, here are some tips to keep you moving in the City Beautiful that'll make your next Florida vacation a trip to remember.

Andy Murray fights back in Sydney to make first ATP final since 2019
Andy Murray reached his first ATP Tour final for more than two years with a three-set win over giant American Reilly Opelka at the Sydney Tennis Classic.
The Scot has said for several months that a deep run at a tournament was not far away and he has made good on that this week with his best string of results since he won his last title in Antwerp in 2019.
He was frustrated to lose the opening set against 6ft 11in Opelka having fought back from 1-5 in the tie-break but he kept pressing on his opponent's serve and got his reward for a 6-7 (6) 6-4 6-4 victory.

Murray has always performed well against big servers, his great returns and ability to keep the ball in play making it a strong match-up for him.
He holds a 7-0 record against Ivo Karlovic and 8-0 against John Isner, and this win means he remains unbeaten against the giants of the game.
Murray will now bid for a 47th career title against either compatriot Dan Evans in what would be a first all-British ATP Tour final or Russia's Aslan Karatsev.
He said in his on-court interview: "It's already been a great week for me. I'll go for 47 tomorrow."

Milosevic was attacked by Albanian and NATO, because, this patriot considered Serbian/Croat language as official Yugoslavian language and refused as a president to finance or subside Albanian language in Yugoslavian schools.
May first , American emigrants asked for Spanish version of American Spangler.
President Bush considered this as outrages.
The U.S. government is seeking to develop a powerful ground-based laser weapon that will use beams of concentrated light to destroy enemy satellites in orbit.
MAY First and Third May - Constitution in Poland..
Torque, do you know what how life expectation in Poland dropped in last 20 years and it is now, in capitalism?
Life expectancy you find from Czernobyl accident and contamination left from American bombs with depleted uranium in Yugoslavia , which tainted by water ways , the whole Europe.
Why Bush supports immigration to US?
U.S. House allows the U.S. military to expand its ground troops..
The bill, adopted by the House Armed Services Committee Wednesday on a 60-1 vote, permits the U.S. Army to increase the number of active-duty soldiers by 30,000 -- or 6 percent beyond what U.S. President George W. Bush requested -- to a maximum target of 512,400.
Strange fire of Polish warehouse in New York.
Some officials with the city's fire department already hinted arson as a possible cause.
I have heard it was a fight between Ivano the Slavic Ultra-Warrior from Dimension X and the Vatican Ninja.
Vatican has its own problem. China ignores USA directives and she herself selects bishops. Congratulation .
Why to give the journalists on payroll of billion dollars corporation the special privileges?
In honor of memory of Hitler, US today in support Hitler followers: Albania, Croatia and Macedonia, backing their candidacies to UN.
In Poland is very strange situation, minority claim that patriotism which was in Gietrich vice premier pledge, is against democracy.?????
Maybe the same kind of minority who wants give Mladic in Serbia in hand of enemy.

LAMBERT-EATON MYASTHENIC SYNDROME
POLIOMYELITIS AND POST-POLIO SYNDROME
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease, causes rapidly progressive muscle atrophy and weakness resulting from the degeneration of both upper and lower motor neurons. ALS leads to varying degrees of spasticity, hyperreflexia, and muscle paralysis, eventually resulting in pulmonary complications and the need for mechanical ventilatory support. Because there is no cure, clinicians attempt to slow disease progression and preserve function as much as possible. Medical management focuses on preventing pulmonary infections and forestalling terminal respiratory failure.
Since 2009, 13 genes and loci have been identified that are associated with the disease.1 Inclusions in the TAR DNA-binding protein-43 have been found in both ALS and frontotemporal dementia.2 Environmental exposures are suspected to increase the risk of ALS, but no specific ones have been identified to date.3
Gross CNS pathology includes frontal cortical atrophy, degeneration of both the corticospinal and spinocerebellar tracts, a reduction in large cervical and lumbar motor neurons, and cranial nerve nuclei degeneration. Both motor and sensory peripheral nerves undergo axonal degeneration and segmental demyelination, including motor end plate and axon terminal involvement.
Upper motor neuron demyelination and dysfunction cause limb spasticity, hyperreflexia (including Babinski sign and a brisk jaw-jerk reflex), and emotional lability. Limb weakness, a lower motor neuron dysfunction, is the presenting symptom in 65% of patients.4 Other associated lower motor neuron dysfunctions include atrophy, cramps, fasciculations, dysarthria, dysphagia, and difficulty in mastication. At the time of initial presentation, asymmetric extremity cramping, fatigue, weakness, and atrophy can be seen, most prominently in the upper extremities.5 Facial weakness, dysarthria, tongue weakness, and atrophy can be seen with bulbar lower motor neuron dysfunction. Despite these profound motor findings, sensory and cognitive function is usually spared. Significant extremity atrophy occurs, as do fasciculations, hyperreflexia, foot drop, and claw deformity of the hand. Patients also may develop monotonal speech caused by tongue atrophy, despite the relative sparing of facial and eye movements. Parkinsonian dementia may occur in up to 15% of patients. Other cognitive problems, such as apathy, poor attention, decreased motivation, and altered social skills, can be present. Regardless of the initial symptoms, widespread motor and respiratory dysfunction progress within weeks to months.
Patients with ALS typically present to the ED with their diagnosis firmly established. There are multiple diagnostic criteria of ALS, including El Escorial, Airlie House, and the Awaji-Shima criteria, all of which include upper and lower motor neuron dysfunction in the same anatomic distribution. Patients present with rapidly progressing weakness, muscle atrophy, fasciculations, and hyperreflexia but without other CNS dysfunction, such as cerebellar ataxia, autonomic dysfunction, or involuntary movements.6 Given the variation and complexity of symptoms, diagnosis of ALS can be challenging. The median time to diagnosis is 14 months.1 ALS-like symptoms can be seen ...

How did my Philosophy Comic come about?
It all started way back in 2007…
I had the good fortune to be making occasional comics for newspaper NRC.Next, with a special assignment: I visited theater shows and made reviews in comic form. I loved the format, and wanted to extend it to other areas.
In April 2007 a philosopher from the North of Holland did a stunt: he spent a week in a huge casket, just like the Greek philosopher Diogenes in the fourth century B.C. I went up and visited him, and drew a comic report about it.
Unfortunately, NRC.Next wouldn't print it, since they didn't really have a corner for philosophy. So I went to newspaper Trouw, which not only printed the comic, but gave me my own monthly spot in the paper, which I was free to fill with comic reports on philosophical and spiritual matters.
Since then, I have produced about forty comic reports on a wide range of subjects: I Ching, a convention about Happiness, the Reality of Lord of the Rings, Hallucinogenics, Buddhism, Near Death Experiences, Freemasonry, a Phone Line to God, Freud, the Crusades and Virtual Reality. (some have them have been translated and can be read here). All of the trips I made to special events were huge fun and gave me more than enough to draw about – except one.
In 2009 I attended a talk about Spinoza which was so dull, vague and unfocused that I could see no way to make the experience into a useful comic. So I did something more general: I made a comic about the life and thoughts of Spinoza.
The original Spinoza comic as it appeared in Dutch in newspaper Trouw
It was a great success! I received lots of fanmail about it from people with an interest in philosophy, who thought my comic did not only represent Spinoza very well, but did so in a very fun and accessible way.
A few months later I got a call from publisher Kees Korenhof from Uitgeverij Meinema (specializing in philosophical books). He asked me if I would like to make a comic book about philosophy, in the same vein as the comic reports. My husband and I looked at each other and said: Of course! It was the middle of the crisis, there weren't many assignments coming my way but we managed financially, so we could easily devote ourselves to making a whole comic book, something that has been a dream of mine anyway.
It was a gamble for the publisher, since Meinema had never published comics and aims at a very specific audience. The first imprint had a cautious number, to see how the book would do. Thanks to a big interview in the newspaper, the first print was sold out in a week, even before the official book presentation. By now, the book has seen three prints, an online workbook and several positive reviews.
Curious yet?
Well, hold on until September, then get your own copy of 'Philosophy: a Discovery in Comics' and see what all the (my) fuss is about!
By the way, part of the Spinoza comic made it into the book – the only piece that has actually been published before, everything else is completely new material.
