The year 2013 should become the year of social justice for Ukraine, President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych said in an interview to the Komsomolskaya Pravda in Ukraine newspaper.
"The effect of reforms and economic gains should be transformed into a real financial protection for our citizens," the head of state said.
The President called successful and decent Ukraine’s chairmanship of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe a key task in our foreign policy.
"I also hope that 2013 will be the year of signing the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement, since there are all the conditions," Yanukovych added.
According to him, the country will also develop a close partnership with the Customs Union and other regional organizations.

Shoplifting lawyer suspended for six months
A Shorewood lawyer charged in a series of retail thefts and for fleeing police on the interstate, has had her license to practice law suspended for six months.
Naomi Soldon (Wisconsin, '90) had reached agreement with the Office of Lawyer Regulation, in which she admitted to eight counts of professional misconduct, according to the state Supreme Court ruling Friday.
Soldon, 46, was first admitted to practice in 1990. She was already suspended for administrative reasons, like failing to pay state bar dues and meet continuing education requirements.
Soldon has also entered into two deferred prosecution agreements related to felony charges of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud. On Thursday, Circuit Judge Joseph Donald commended her for her compliance with the program, according to court records.

The Japanese government was reportedly considering arming its self-defence forces with more than 1,000 missiles ranging between 1,000 and 1,500 km for surface warfare in August 2022, as Japan was getting ready to announce a new defence strategy to counter the provocations of North Korea and China. The goal was to have a “counter-attack” capability and thereby strengthen the archipelago’s means of deterrence.
As a result, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries [MHI] has just been notified of contracts with a total estimated value of $3 billion. As anticipated, it will be necessary to significantly enhance the Type 12 missile range to enable employment by ships and F-15J combat aircraft. The missile was designed for surface-to-ship warfare.
The Japanese Ministry of Defense, however, plans to go even further. MHI will have to create a new cruise missile installed on Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force submarines, most likely those of the Taigei class, of which the first two units [JS Taigei and JS Hakugei] have just entered service.
The “production” of a hypersonic weapon, the first copies of which are expected to be delivered in 2026–2027, is covered by a final contract. The Japanese Ministry of Defense provides little information in its news release other than that it will be a “glider” for “the defence of isolated islands.”
After the United States, Russia, India, China, and France acknowledged their work on hypersonic weapons projects in 2019, Japan followed suit. In 2019, Japan joined the United States, Russia, China, and France in acknowledging their work on hypersonic weapons initiatives. Developing a super ramjet or Scramjet-type engine for a long-range hypersonic cruise missile referred to as the HCM [for Hypersonic Cruise Missile] was granted approximately $60 million in funding. The second effort, which had already begun a year earlier, attempted to create a solid-fuel rocket-powered hypersonic glider known as the HGVP (for Hyper Velocity Gliding Projectile).
Tokyo was said to set up a “network of seven satellites” for the guidance of such weapons simultaneously to give its self-defence forces access to navigational data without relying on “foreign systems.”
Key Hypersonic Projects in Japan
Hypersonic glider project
Japan’s hypersonic glider project intends to create a vehicle that can fly at hypersonic speeds and be used for various purposes, including surveillance and satellite deployment, and is being led by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
The glider, known as the Spaceplane Technology Demonstrator, is intended to fly at an altitude of about 80 kilometres (50 miles) and reach speeds of Mach 7 (about 8,500 km per hour). Its length is approximately 8 metres (26 feet), and its wingspan is roughly 3 metres (10 feet).
A scramjet engine, which is an air-breathing engine that travels at hypersonic speeds, is used by the Spaceplane Technology Demonstrator. The engine produces thrust by compressing incoming air and combining it with fuel in supersonic combustion.
JAXA successfully tested a scaled-down prototype of the Spaceplane Technology Demonstrator in 2019. The glider was launched from a rocket at the height of approximately 270 kilometres (170 miles), and its aerodynamics and control systems were tested as it descended.
The Spaceplane Technology Demonstrator will execute a full-scale test flight as the project’s next stage, which is anticipated to happen in the middle of the 2020s. If the project succeeds, Japan will be one of the few nations worldwide to have created hypersonic flying technology, which might substantially boost the nation’s aerospace and defence sectors.
Project for hypersonic missile
Japan is actively working to improve its defence capabilities against prospective threats by developing a hypersonic missile. The Japanese Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics Agency (ATLA), in collaboration with commercial businesses like Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and IHI Corporation, is in charge of the hypersonic missile project.
The Hypersonic Cruise Missile is a missile with a Mach 5 or higher top speed that would be very challenging for present missile defence systems to intercept. With a potential range of up to 1,000 kilometres (620 miles), it is being developed to be launched from fighter jets like the F-15J.
The scramjet engine that is being developed for Japan’s hypersonic glider project will be used by the Hypersonic Cruise Missile to reach its high speeds. The missile will also be outfitted with cutting-edge guidance systems and a high-explosive warhead to ensure it is as effective as possible when used in warfare.
To deploy the Hypersonic Cruise Missile by the middle of the 2020s, Japan wants to conduct several test flights for it in the upcoming years.
Hypersonic wind tunnel
Japan is constructing a hypersonic wind tunnel to test and develop hypersonic technology such as aeroplanes and missiles capable of travelling at speeds greater than Mach 5 (five times the speed of sound). The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) is leading the hypersonic wind tunnel project in collaboration with other government agencies and commercial enterprises.
The hypersonic wind tunnel, which is scheduled to open in 2023, will be capable of replicating speeds of up to Mach 14 (more than 17,000 km per hour). Researchers will be able to analyse the aerodynamics of hypersonic vehicles and test materials that can endure the severe heat and pressures seen at such speeds.
The hypersonic wind tunnel will be housed at Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s Kakuda Space Center in Miyagi Prefecture. It will have a test section that is approximately 30 metres (98 feet) long, 20 metres (66 feet) broad, and 10 metres (33 feet) height, making it one of the world’s largest hypersonic wind tunnels.
The hypersonic wind tunnel is part of Japan’s ambitions to become a leader in hypersonic technology and maintain its status as a regional technological powerhouse. It will also have ramifications for Japan’s defence sector, allowing the government to build and test hypersonic weapons that can be employed offensively and defensively.
The Japanese Ministry of Defense’s acquisitions, technology, and logistics division, ATLA, is responsible for developing hypersonic glider and missile projects. Even though MHI has a research facility with a hypersonic wind tunnel in Nagasaki, their work has garnered little press thus far.
Concerning the Hyper Velocity Gliding Projectile (HGVP), its development must be done in two stages. First, and to accelerate its deployment, a so-called “block 1” version, based on existing technologies, will be deployed. Then will come to the “block 2” version, which will have “improved capacities” thanks to the contribution of technologies on which the ATLA is currently working. It must be given a seeker to engage moving targets like an aircraft carrier.

As a bass-baritone, Peter has performed with leading orchestras — including the Chicago Symphony Orchestra — and has collaborated with today’s most esteemed conductors such as Pierre Boulez, Bernard Labadie, and Paul Hillier.
Right now, Peter is gearing up to perform the title role in Telemann‘s Don Quichotte with the Haymarket Opera Company, a new organization devoted to ancient opera in Chicago. The ensemble, led by Craig Trumpeter, features some of today’s most sought-after early music specialists including harpsichordist and two-time Grammy Award nominee Jory Vinikour. As a prelude to each performance of the opera, Vinikour will perform C. P. E. Bach’s Concerto in D Minor for Harpsichord with HOC’s period orchestra. Peter tells us more about his work off-mic and onstage in this upcoming performance of Don Quichotte.
WFMT: Peter, when you haven’t been busy in the studio, where have you performed this season?
Peter van de Graaff: I did Beethoven’s 9th Symphony with the Wichita Symphony and Oak Park/River Forest Symphony, Messiah with the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra, I gave a fascinating poetry reading/performance recital with Inna Faliks. We’re looking forward to the Schumann recital in the Schumann home in Leipzig in May, followed by recitals in London and Holland.
WFMT: Haymarket Opera Company is new to Chicago though has already made a big impact. In which of Haymarket’s previous productions have you appeared?
Van de Graaff: This will be my third production with them. I was in La descente d’Orphée aux enfers and Dido and Aeneas. Being a radio announcer leaves me little time for singing, so I have to choose my engagements judiciously and, although I do very little opera because of the time demands, I do make an exception with this excellent company!
WFMT: Haymarket has already presented a diverse range of early opera. How did the company select Telemann’s Don Quichotte?
Van de Graaff: Craig Trompeter [HOC General Director] has been talking about it for awhile. I know that he is attracted to the extremely high quality of music and theatricality of the piece. When we realize that it was Telemann’s last opera, we know that he brought one of the most fecund careers to its end with it-all of his past experience.
WFMT: What have you learned about Telemann through your own encounter with this music?
Van de Graaff: Not only his inexhaustible creativity, but also his amazing sense of humor! It’s interesting that the first half of the opera is just Don Quichotte and Sancho Panza alone. Telemann has written some incredibly fun music for the two to sing-some truly funny arias about Don Q.’s dreams of chivalry and Sancho’s donkey & mishaps, etc. Telemann is a real master of capturing characterization. He is known for his instrumental music, but he was a very, very fine operatic composer. I have sung one other Telemann opera, Pimpinone […], but this work has only served to deepen my appreciation for him as one of the Baroque’s greatest.
WFMT: What are other upcoming performances or projects to which you are looking forward?
Van de Graaff: Beyond the three European recitals in May, we’re keeping our fingers crossed that we will be able to perform an all-Grieg recital in his home as part of the WFMT trip to Scandinavia in August. Come join us!
More About Don Quichotte
A comic tour de force with a delightfully rich score that includes piccolo, bassoon, drums and trumpets, this production will be one of Haymarket’s most ambitious yet. At the age of 80, Georg Philipp Telemann composed Don Quichotte to the witty libretto of his 20-year-old friend Daniel Schiebler. The story is drawn from one of the greatest works of all literature, Miguel de Cervantes’ The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha. The Don, a retired country gentleman who has gone mad reading too many chivalric novels, sallies forth into the Spanish countryside to make his name as a knight-errant. Accompanied by his wise-cracking squire, Sancho, he happens upon the wedding festivities of the wealthy herdsman Camacho and Quiteria, the land’s most beautiful shepherdess whose father has forbidden her to wed her true love, Basilio.

My mother-in-law had asked for a clothespin bag for her birthday. I did get exact specifications: it should be square, have a lid, and be large enough. In addition, it should be possible to attach it to the clothesline. I first made a sketch with the approximate dimensions. The biggest challenge was the lid. Then on the internet, I found a very nice idea how to pull the hangers through the lid. So the lid is attached to the bag and does not get lost.
The main fabric is a blue and white striped denim, the lining is linen. The main fabric is interfaced for stability. To achieve that the bag keeps its shape at the top and the lid can be closed tightly, I have formed a kind of frame from wire, placed it under the envelope, and then stitched underneath, so that a kind of tunnel is created.
On the sides, I sewed on small pockets that I had found in my scraps box. I found this quite funny, and the bag does not look quite so boring.
I sewed around the holes where the hangers went through with a zigzag stitch so they wouldn’t fray. I had first thought I could sew a buttonhole, but my buttonhole foot was too small for that.
It was interesting to have a project where I had to figure everything out myself. I usually shy away from that. And all the nicer that it worked out and my mother-in-law was very happy.

Our tiny farm is located in the heart of California's wine country, just north of St Helena on the Silverado Trail. Using organic farming methods, we grow over 100 varieties of heirloom tomatoes. In addition, we grow a wide variety of herbs, flowers, and healthy fruits and vegetables, including corn, squash, pole beans, and peppers.
Our commercial activities are quite limited, as the primary mission of our farm is to provide organically grown, healthy, non-GMO, food to the Napa Valley Food Bank, which provides food to almost 40 local organizations, and directly serves over 15,000 clients annually. With this mission, the farm is, by design, a not-for-profit enterprise although we occasionally offer for sale fresh vegetables and herbs to people visiting the farm.
Our fertile farm land on the banks of the Napa River, irrigation water, and the bulk of our farm labor are generously made available by Casa Nuestra Winery, a winery with a long history in the Napa Valley and one with a strong commitment to humanitarian efforts.
We are the "kitchen garden" for the Napa Food Bank and deliver thousands of pounds of produce to help eliminate hunger in our community. Our specialty is tomatoes, which we sell from our honor box at the winery in season. Look also for seasonal fresh vegetables and annual herbs and flowers.
Stop by the winery anytime they are open to see our growing grounds (7 days a week 10-4). Look for our sign on the Silverado Trail to know when we are offering produce or garden starts. Nursery starts for sale beginning April 16th.

This place is organic to the core: an authentic farm in commercial wine country. It is like stepping back in time. I had no idea there were so many tomato varieties... wine was good too.

BURLINGTON — A Barre man who agreed to be a confidential informant for police, but showed up with drugs on him, has admitted to the federal charge he faces.
Iman “Geo” Hardy, 44, pleaded guilty Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Burlington to a felony count of knowingly possessing with intent to distribute cocaine. Hardy has agreed to a sentence of three to five years to serve. He will be sentenced on Nov. 26. He’s been in the custody of the U.S. Marshals at Northwest State Correctional Facility in Swanton since his arrest in June.
Cpl. Jonathan Houle, of the Barre City police, said in his affidavit he was on patrol in Montpelier on April 29 when he spotted Hardy driving toward Berlin. Houle said Hardy has been a person of interest for the Street Crimes Unit because of reports it has received about Hardy selling drugs.
He said Hardy drove to the Berlin Mall, parked the vehicle and a female got inside. Houle said the female was in the vehicle for about five minutes before she left and got into a truck. He said he followed the truck and pulled it over for failing to use a turn signal.
Houle said he spoke to the female who had gotten into Hardy’s vehicle and she told him she had bought half a gram of cocaine from Hardy. Houle took the white, rock-like substance from the truck and it field tested positive for cocaine, according to court records.
Houle said Hardy was staying at the Econo Lodge in Montpelier, so he got a search warrant for Hardy’s room and his vehicle. Houle said the motel was under surveillance and Hardy was not there at the time so he checked around and found Hardy’s vehicle at the Comfort Inn in Berlin. Hardy was taken into custody and on him police found $3,000 in cash and two cellphones, according to court records.
Houle said inside Hardy’s vehicle police found $12,749, another cellphone and items like a scale and sandwich bags used for selling drugs. He said Hardy admitted to police he had been selling crack cocaine in the state.
On May 3, Houle said Hardy had agreed to work with the Street Crimes Unit as a confidential informant and was willing to participate in controlled buys. Houle said he met with Hardy on May 3 and Hardy was searched before the buy took place. He felt a hard object in Hardy’s backside and when asked what it was Hardy first told police it was a sex toy and then it was marijuana, according to court records.
Houle said Hardy eventually admitted the object was crack cocaine. Houle said the substance field tested positive for cocaine and weighed 13 grams.

Part of the evacuation process today included the Sheriff’s Office.
They were going door-to-door telling people to evacuate and seek shelter in Kensett.
People started gathering in the Kensett community center right around 10 am.
The center acted designated site for evacuees.
As you can imagine after an event like this there was a sense of chaos, but emergency management coordinators worked hard to keep everything organized and more importantly, everyone calm.
“This has never happened in my life before, so I was a little nervous, yeah.”
Jason Solberg is joining hundreds of other Northwood residents as they seek shelter at the Community Center.
“I was at work at the grocery store in Northwood and the store manager said the whole town of Northwood is being evacuated,” says Solberg.
“I didn’t know anything about it.”
Larry Klitzke was also working when he heard the news.
“They came in and told us they were shutting everything down and locking everything up,” says Klitzke.
“Just like a disaster, it’s a little chaotic at first, we’re starting to now get things broken down,” says Cerro Gordo County Emergency Management Coordinator, Steve O’Neil.
Emergency Management Coordinators from around north Iowa set up post at the community center .
Members of the Red Cross, Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) and local law enforcement were also on scene to assist and keeping people calm, with updates whenever they had them.
“We’ll be keeping track of these people, letting them know what’s happening getting them back as soon as we can. As far as at the scene, that’ll be up to the incident commander what info they release,” says O’Neil.
Folks who evacuated with their four-legged friends were sent to City Hall to take shelter.
At around noon the center started reaching capacity, so crews worked to bus people over to a nearby church.
“Hopefully they’ll get this resolved before the day is over, otherwise we will start gearing up to make it an overnight shelter also.”
Luckily, an overnight shelter did not have to happen as Northwood was “reopened” in the afternoon.
It was a scary day for many residents but thanks to many volunteers at the shelter, folks like Klitzke were able to remain calm.
“At first I was a little nervous and everything but I think I’m getting calm now, because I see all my friends, relatives.”
The mayor of Kensett said they saw 300-400 people come through their town to take shelter.
They even started a triage unit in the community center for any folks who needed any medical attention.
Many residents were talking about a chemical odor as they were leaving town.
Medical staff at the shelter were going around to everyone making sure they weren’t experiencing any respiratory issues.
At one point buses of nursing home residents arrived from Northwood to take shelter.
Nurses were assisting those people with any medical needs.

Car insurance: MPs to investigate impact of whiplash claims
MPs are to investigate the extent to which claims for whiplash injuries are pushing up the cost of car insurance.
The Commons Transport Committee said it wanted to examine suggestions that rising payouts meant the UK was now the "whiplash capital of the world".
It will look at the impact fabricated and exaggerated claims have on premiums and what can be done about them.
Ministers say action is needed to curb the 60% increase in road-related personal injury claims since 2006.
Whiplash is characterised by the NHS as a neck injury caused by a sudden movement of the head forwards, backwards or sideways.
Claims for such injuries have soared in recent years despite improvements in vehicle safety and a sharp reduction in the number of reported accidents involving personal injury.
The cross-party committee has already held two inquiries into the rising cost of car insurance in the past three years.
But now it plans to focus specifically on claims for whiplash injuries - of which there were more than half a million last year - and how they affect what drivers are paying for insurance.
Insurers say there has been an "epidemic" of claims - with 1,500 made every day - and their £2bn annual cost is adding £90 to the average premium.
In a consultation document published in December, the Ministry of Justice set out ideas for action, including creating new medical panels to improve diagnosis of whiplash injuries and allowing more cases to be challenged in the small claims court.
The committee wants to know whether the government's proposals will reduce the cost of premiums and what proportion of the £90 figure is attributable to inaccurate or fraudulent claims.
It will also study the likely impact of the proposals on genuine claimants and what else can be done to bring down premiums.
Louise Ellman, the Labour MP who chairs the committee, said the issue was "difficult", but she and her colleagues wanted to weigh up all the arguments about the best way forward.
"It is vitally important for policymakers to understand the reasons for the very high cost of motor insurance, especially for young drivers and to take steps to bring that cost down," she added.
"Whiplash claims undoubtedly play a part in driving up the cost of motor insurance but access to justice for injured people must be preserved."
'Fraud of choice'
Former Justice Secretary Jack Straw has mounted a high-profile campaign against what he says is the large increase in dubious whiplash claims, tabling a private member's bill in 2011 urging reform of motor insurance.
The Association of British Insurers has called for whiplash injuries to be assessed by an accredited medical expert, trained in the latest diagnostic techniques and able to take into account the circumstances of the collision rather than the claimant's reported symptoms.
It also says a set level of damages should be prescribed for whiplash claims and any exaggerated claim should be thrown out entirely.
"Insurers want to make it simpler and quicker for genuine whiplash claimants to get fair compensation," says the body's assistant director of motor and liability James Dalton.
"But whiplash is notoriously difficult to diagnose, which means that for too many people it has become the fraud of choice."
The government said it had taken action to help bring down insurance premiums by banning referral fees, reforming no win no fee rules and cracking down on fraudulent whiplash claims.
"In addition, we are considering several options to ensure that newly qualified drivers are properly prepared and drive safely, allowing insurers to reduce premiums for this age group," Roads Minister Stephen Hammond said.
"We continue to work with young people, the insurance industry, and other key partners in addressing this important issue."

Happier days: A picture of the Aceh punk community several days before the arrest of punkers.“We’re not criminals, get us out of here,” appealed Yudi from behind bars. Yudi and 63 punk members were detained by the city police of Banda Aceh for allegedly having made a false proposal in order to stage a punk rock concert in Banda Aceh on Dec. 10.
The performance at Taman Budaya Aceh, titled “Aceh for the Punk: A Music Parade and Fundraiser for Orphanages”, was also attended by punk followers from various parts of Indonesia including Jakarta, Bekasi, Lampung, Jambi, Pekanbaru and Batam.
“We organized the concert with the positive aim of fund-raising and we got licenses from the police and Ulema Consultative Assembly. We didn’t have a booze and drug party as charged by the police,” said Yudi. He claimed to have planned the program long before to help raise awareness in Banda Aceh of the positive things his punk community could offer.
“So far our group has been regarded as the scum of society with no purpose in life. We’ve always been chased by the city police and sharia police for what they describe as disturbing public order,” added Yudi. The untidy appearance of punkers has created the public image that links the punk community with crime and un-sharia morality.
Friendly cut: A young man helps groom a punker. Mohawk is a hairstyle typical of punk members.“Our community is not against sharia law, but we think if sharia still imposes discrimination against certain groups in society, it means it’s not yet properly implemented and it’s a form of hypocrisy,” Yudi pointed out.
Yudi’s assertion that the event was meant for orphanages failed to prevent the Banda Aceh city police from capturing the 64 punkers in the concert venue, as the license request was deemed different from the aim of the show.
“They claimed to be an Acehnese community that would perform for [charitable] fund-raising purposes, so the police and ulema issued the permits,” said Aceh regional police chief Insp. Gen. Iskandar Hasan.
Iskandar added that the police had been tricked by the Aceh punk group. When the arrest was conducted, according to Iskandar, the police also discovered liquor and drugs believed to have been consumed by the punk youths. “It’s one of our reasons for their detention,” he said.
After being held for several days, the police finally sent the punk fans to the State Police School in Seulawah Valley, Aceh Besar, some 60 kilometers east of Banda Aceh.
“We’re educating them there for 10 days to change their mind-set and direct their purpose in social life,” said Iskandar.
Before their move to Seulawah Valley, male punkers were shaved bald to rid them of their typical Mohawk hairstyle and all of them were immersed in a pool as part of a traditional purification practice. “Why are we forced to be shaved? It violates my right as a citizen to choose my personal appearance,” protested Wawan, one of the punk members.
But Wawan and his peers could do nothing when several policemen cut off their hair. Some female punkers were even sobbing as they had their hair cut by policewomen. “My parents have never treated me like this. For me it’s an inhuman act,” said Nanda tearfully.
Punk youths have been an annoyance to the Banda Aceh city administration for some time.
Their behavior, including drawing graffiti on walls, is considered to be harmful to public interest. They are also considered a disgrace to sharia as most punk girls don’t wear headscarves and punk boys have tattoos on their bodies.
“In Islam, women should wear headscarves and men must not have tattoos, because they won’t be able to perform mandatory prayers with their tattoos,” said Banda Aceh Deputy Mayor Illiza Sa’aduddin Djamal. For this reason, Banda Aceh city police and sharia police have frequently raided punk hangouts.
Drowned dreams: Arrested punk members are immersed in a pool to observe a tradition of purification of past sins before being educated to be good citizens in the sharia version.“Banda Aceh must be free and rid of punk members and the like. We don’t allow such groups to defile our environment and degrade the sharia we’re upholding,” maintained Illiza.
The way the Aceh government and police attempt to reform punkers has invited criticism by Aceh legal expert Saifuddin Bantasyam. In his view, punkers are not big criminals, drug addicts, gamblers or drunkards.
The public can distinguish between crime, offense and juvenile delinquency.
“In my opinion, it’s very strange if they’re treated like Mafiosi, big embezzlers or drug traffickers. Never forget that any mistake in responding to their behavior can ruin their future,” warned Saifuddin.
The detention of punkers without adherence to proper procedures, according to Saifuddin, translates into a violation of citizens’ rights and is thus a breach of law. If some of them are under age, Saifuddin added, the government and society should also abide by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, particularly in treating children involved in legal problems.

Green Fingers in Year One!
Today, Sycamore and Maple classes went to Wakehurst Place. It was a beautiful, sunny day - how lucky were we?!
We had three activities to do over the day. We looked at the story of the sunflower and examined seeds, plants and flowers in every stage of their life process. Then we acted out the process. We had a walk in the grounds to look at leaves and roots to see the work they do for plants. We looked at daffodils and did the work of bees - collecting pollen to ensure the plants make seeds.
Then - the most important part of the day - lunch!
After lunch, we learnt about the parts of plants - we identified vegetables and decided which parts of the plant we eat. We then used the vegetables to make faces after looking at paintings by Arcimboldo. It was a lovely day with lots of lovely parent helpers (thank you!), great staff at Wakehurst and superbly well behaved children.
Our trip experience will become the focus for our learning after Easter Break; already it is clear there are some budding horticulturists in Year 1!

The Seattle Seahawks may have one fewer option on Monday night when they take on the New Orleans Saints for the top spot in the NFC. Recently returned wide receiver Percy Harvin is once again suffering pain in his surgically repaired hip, according to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport. Harvin's status for Week 13 is in doubt, as he is planning on meeting with doctors regarding his hip on Saturday, per Rapoport.
Harvin returned to the field in Week 11 after spending the first 10 games on the physically unable to perform list. His Seattle debut came against his former team, the Minnesota Vikings. In the contest, Harvin had a 17-yard catch and a 58-yard kick return. The Seahawks were among the four teams that were on bye in Week 12. It is unclear what caused Harvin's hip to flare up again.
Seattle did not start Harvin in his first game back, so it is unlikely to impact its offense greatly on Monday.

I should be working on something else right now. I should be doing writing that I really need to finish ASAP, writing that could bring me some considerable upside both in money and reputation. But then Jordan Seiler and the heavy projects (as Re+Public) and Subway Art Blog went and released their awesome and eagerly anticipated new app: NO AD. So I’ve become momentarily distracted, and you should be too. Go download NO AD right now (for Android or iPhone), especially if you live in New York City.
NO AD is an augmented reality application that gives you a glimpse of the New York City subway system without advertisements, a world where billboards are for art instead of ads. NO AD replaces the top 100 ads in the subway system at any given moment with art. How? By using the ads like QR codes. Simply download the app to your phone, open it while you’re on a New York City subway platform, and point your camera at an advertisement. On your phone’s screen, you’ll see the ad almost magically replaced by artwork. Download the app now, and give it a try with this image:
See how amazing that is?
And here’s a short video about the app:
This idea isn’t entirely new. NO AD may remind some readers of Steve Lambert’s Add-Art or Julian Oliver’s The Artvertiser. But Add-Art hasn’t been functional for some time and The Artvertiser never really made it beyond a fun experiment and no longer appears to be in development, so it’s great to see other artists take up the mantle of digitally and legally replacing ads with art.
One question that I’m sure will come up: How does NO AD know what subway ads look like? The app developers essentially have to feed the app information about what ads are up in subway stations at any given time, which means that they have to go out and photograph every different subway ad they can find and rotate ads in and out of the app. As new ads rotate in, so will new artwork.
On some level, NO AD is an ad takeover tool. It takes space that is currently filled with ads and replaces those very specific ads with art. They could have just as easily used other objects around NYC as “triggers” for the art, but they decided to go with ads. Plus, for the initial launch, they’ve partnered with about 50 artists, many of whom have been outspoken critics of public advertising.
Today, NO AD is a kind of “what if,” a thought experiment to get people thinking about what it would be like to replace the ads with art, because of course you still need to take out your phone, open the app, and look at specific ads to see the artwork. So, essentially, it could be said that the app is a gimmick to get people thinking about replacing ads with art, rather than a tool to actually achieve that.
But NO AD may not be just a thought experiment in a few years. Fast forward to when everyone and their mother is wearing some version of Google Glass all day long. There will still be ads on the subway, but with NO AD running in the background on your Google Glass, you won’t see the ads. You’ll just see art exhibitions.
And that’s the other half of NO AD, the part that is more than just a thought experiment or a very long-term thinking anti-advertising strategy: It’s potential as an exhibition space. The first set of artists whose work is being exhibited through NO AD (including Vandalog’s Caroline Caldwell) are a motley crew of experimenters and friends of the organizers, which isn’t such a bad thing since these guys have some very talented friends, but imagine given a single artist a chance to take over all of the ads on the subway, or bringing in a professional curator to use NO AD and the subway system as an exhibition space in a more organized way. NO AD is an exhibition space that exists somewhere between the physical and the digital, always bringing with it an energy of political activism and chance.
NO AD is a glimpse into the future, a new exhibition space, and a platform for activism. I’m excited.
It was recently suggested that Vandalog doesn’t do any reporting or write much anymore, and that’s part of why we suck. It’s true that I haven’t been posting as much lately. In part, this is because I didn’t want to just regurgitate the same press releases and photos that all the other major street art blogs are also regurgitating. I only want to write something when I have something exclusive or something to add, which might not be every day. Plus, at the moment, my apartment has no internet connection, which makes things a bit difficult. That should be fixed soon, and posting will probably start to happen more regularly. As for reporting, if an ad agency wants to buy Vandalog and pay all of my bills for no apparent reason, I’d be happy to take your money and spend more time on “proper” reporting. In the mean time, here’s what I can say from Philadelphia with a day job and without a proper internet connection…
Saber and Zes recently painted a mural for Branded Arts in LA. It’s huge, and I really like it. I tend to find Saber’s work hit or miss, but I this one is a major success. I’ve been having a lot of conversations lately about legal versus illegal work, illegal work versus the buff and graffiti versus street art. This mural addresses all of those topics on a grand scale.
Shok1‘s mural for The L.I.S.A. Project NYC is no more, things are a bit more complicated than that… Before Shok1 painted that spot, there was a really beautiful tag there by Serf. Over time, the rest of the wall got tagged up, and the singular tag was no longer looking so hot. Additionally, we at The L.I.S.A. Project NYC got permission to put a mural at that location. Shok1 was in town and we were itching to work with him, so he got the spot and painted a great piece. Before Shok1 painted though, I reached out to Serf to give him a heads up, and let him know that we would like to find a wall for him and Mint if he was interested in the idea. I don’t normally do that when we cover illegal graffiti with a mural, but I had a lot of love for this particular tag. That was in April. Recently, Shok1’s mural was tagged up, so we quickly buffed out the tag. It was clear that this mural’s life had ended and something new was in order. We called up Serf again, and arranged for Mint and Serf (aka Mirf) to paint something. Their idea was to create a wall that looked almost abstract but full of graffiti, like a bombed-out wall of an abandoned warehouse. It might not be clear to random passersby whether the work was legal or illegal. Kind of like the (slightly more controlled) shutters that SMART Crew painted recently as part of their installation in Chinatown, although Mirf were working on this idea before the Chinatown piece was completed. Turns out, some people don’t like murals that look like illegal graffiti, even if the wall was originally home to actually illegal graffiti that was going unbuffed. Neighborhood residents complained. We knew the mural would be temporary, as the property owner was about to install advertising on that wall, but we thought it would at least last more than 48 hours. Now, the wall has been buffed black and a street-level advertisement has been installed… It looks like this. Animal New York has more on the story. While I’m bummed to see both Shok1’s work and Mirf’s work gone already, that wall has been a learning experience and an interesting experiment of sorts for us at The L.I.S.A. Project NYC. There was illegal graffiti on the wall, then Shok1 painted a colorful mural. That was replaced by a legal mural that looked like illegal graffiti by the same same artists whose illegal graffiti had graced the wall previously without complaint, and suddenly residents had a serious problem with what they were seeing. The truth is that we at The L.I.S.A. Project NYC are often in close communication with property owners, realtors, building managers, restauranteurs and shop-owners when we put up murals, but rarely do we connect with a building’s residents. Usually, this isn’t a problem, and we have received a lot of positive feedback from residents even when they have not been consulted before a mural goes up, but occasionally we have problems like these. Should we slow down our process and always seek input from a building’s residents and nearby neighbors, or should we keep going as is, giving artists more freedom but always risking a negative reaction after the work is completed? A balance has to be struck, but I’m not sure exactly what that balance is. Every mural program and every mural site is unique, so there are no easy answers, but it’s something we have to continue to think about…
Mighty Mo, Rowdy, Gold Peg and Horror of Burning Candy have put together a show opening June 27th at the Leeds College of Art. Should be a good one, particularly since Mighty Mo’s work has gone in a very surprising and interesting sculptural direction over the last two years or so.
Two more upcoming shows of note are the Crash and Anthony Lister solo shows at Jonathan Levine Gallery in NYC.
The (unauthorized)Banksy retrospective on at the moment at Sotheby’s in London is well worth stopping by. Banksy’s comment on the exhibition (“As a kid I always dreamed of growing up to be a character in Robin Hood. I never realised I’d end up playing one of the gold coins.”) sounds about right though. It’s hard not to be taken aback by the prices at this exhibition, including almost £100,000 for a single print. And yes, that piece sold, as have others. So while prices may be high, it appears there is demand, even if the buyers aren’t always the most Banksy-literate bunch. One comment I overheard from a visitor to the exhibition is telling. But hey, for those of us who just want to look at some good artwork, it’s a solid show. There are pieces I don’t think I’d ever seen before, and many museum-worthy bits that I’m not sure when I’ll see again. For that reason, it’s worth stopping by. And hey, at least the works at Sotheby’s are (mostly) authenticated by Pest Control (someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think one or two of the test prints are without authentication…), and there are no street pieces. So if you are looking to spend a couple hundred grand on a Banksy at the moment, you could do worse than Sotheby’s, like this forgettable and unauthenticated maybe-formally a Banksy for $40,000+.
Max Rippon (aka Ripo) and Roa are currently showing at Stolenspace Gallery in London. Ripo’s show in the front room is solid, but I wish there were more works on paper, or works that are more physically complex. The real highlight from Ripo is this painting on handcut paper, but it’s the only piece like it in the show. The rest are canvases like this one with amalgamations of text in strips or slices of varying size. Nothing wrong with those, but I don’t think the fully showcase Ripo’s talent. Roa’s show is among the best I’ve seen from any street artist in a long while. At first glance, yes, it’s what you’d expect from Roa: Animals in black and white or in varying states of decay on wood, plus some moving parts that allow the viewer to change up the paintings a bit. Honestly, I went to the show to see Ripo’s work and see friends, not expecting to be too amazed with Roa’s work. It’s good and all, but I figured that I’d seen it 100 times before. I was wrong. Graffoto’s review and images (and Stolenspace’s images) provide some idea of what Roa did, but really you just have to walk through the show. I hope someone with a steadicam goes in and makes a beautiful video exploring the space. Still, I’ll try to explain… You can’t just look at the work in this show and call it a day. You have to walk around it and see it from every angle. One piece, London Mole Installation, is made up of four piece of wood, arranged like this with different images of a mole, each running across two of the wooden panels, so that as you walk around the piece, you effective get at least 8 significantly different compositions of the mole depending your angle. But that is just a warm up for Osborn Bat Installation, a 3-piece installation involving mirrors and painted wood panels. Each of the three pieces is interesting on its own and sort of a mini version of London Mole Installation, but then the three pieces also come together to form compositions depending on your angle. You might be reading this and think, “Well duh, you look at installation art from different angles and it looks different,” but this goes beyond that, because every angle you look at this work from actually feels like a complete and different composition. The piece is like a puzzle, except that each piece of the puzzle is interesting on its own too, and the puzzle fits together in a myriad of interesting ways. Really, you just have to walk through this thing. If you happen to be in London, do not miss this show. It proved to me that Roa is not just a guy who can simply by written off as painting the same animals over and over again in the same style. He’s much more than that.
Nice One shows street artists that you can still do a great character without permission from the property owner (I assume given the other tags and half-finished scribbles on the wall).
Known Gallery will be showing both Cept and Remio later this month. I’m not sold on Remio’s indoor work, but his graffiti is definitely up there, and I’ve been a huge fan of Cept for year. I’m glad to see Cept getting some real recognition in the USA.
I’ve always thought that if I knew how to drive and own a car, I would have an artist paint it. Well, Kenny Scharf has been painting cars for fans lately and posting the pics on Instagram. I love the retro-looking results.
Plenty of photos of EKG’s ubiquitous tag along with an essay by the mysterious artist.
Before this, I would have been content to never see a new flag painting by Saber. He’s an amazingly skillful painter, but I was a bit tired of the theme. And then he made wooden pieces and I changed my mind.
I checked out Saber’s show at Opera last Friday — the day after it opened — and it’s been on my mind since. There is a vigorous beauty here that reflects the artist’s talents, techniques and distinct sensibility. It also represents the fusion of graffiti — or calligraffiti — and fine art as its best. I love what has become his signature take on the American flag.
The exhibit continues until May 11 at 115 Spring Street in SoHo.
In my second post about Nuart 2012 (part one here) I’ve finally got some finished pieces to show. While Nuart is known for the outdoor work that they organized, the artists probably spend just as much time, some of them more, on the indoor installation component of the festival. This year, work was installed in a series of old beer halls at Tou Scene, a venue in Stavanger that Nuart has used a few times. These aren’t all the installations that Nuart had this year, but here we have the finished installations by Eine, Jordan Seiler, Saber, Ron English, Aakash Nihalani, How and Nosm, and Sickboy. Thanks to Ian Cox for all of the great photos coming out of Nuart.
On Sunday, Saber executed his latest skywriting campaign in New York City. About a year ago, Saber did something similar in Los Angeles to defend murals/protest LA’s ridiculous mural regulations. This time, Saber is defending the arts in general against Mitt Romney, who has said that a Romney administration would stop funding the National Endowment for the Arts, National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service. The bold action was caught by photographers around the city and organized on twitter and instagram under the hashtag #defendthearts. Nearly 200 photos of the skywriting have been uploaded to instagram under the #defendthearts hashtag, and probably more without the hashtag.

I’ll be participating in three events at Nuart Plus, a 3-day international summit on street art taking place during the festival. Evan Pricco, Tristan Manco, Carlo McCormick and others will be speaking there too. Here’s what I’m involved in: On the 27th, Jordan Seiler and I will be giving a tour of some of the art (and ads) in Stavanger; On the 28th, Carlo McCormick and I will be at Martinique, a cafe and pub, to debate about whether or not one can truly appreciate street art on the internet; On the 29th, Evan Pricco, Tristan Manco and I will be on a panel about street art and the internet moderated by Eirik Sjåholm Knudsen. Sorry if I’m focusing a bit too much on my own stuff, but I’m really excited to be going to Nuart, especially since I’ll be speaking alongside so many of my friends and idols.
There will of course also be an indoor art component to the festival.
Nuart’s street work begins September 20th, the indoor show opens on the 29th at Tuo Scene and the panels and talks will take place on the 27th-29th.
Earlier this week, I hosted a movie night at The Wren’s Nest in Atlanta for the Living Walls Conference. Living Walls asked me to put together a list of some short films to show, and I ended up with 27. A few people have asked me to post those films online to share with friends or just to see a film that they missed while they were getting some food, so after the jump you’ll find embedded versions of all 27 films that were screened at the movie night (many of which have appeared on Vandalog before). Enjoy! Continue reading “Vandalog Movie Night as a blog post”

WARRIOR kings once ran amok in these isles, fighting Vikings, Romans, each other – but mostly the French – as they tried to secure enough of England to make it their own.
And for two days, my three excitable heirs — Rufus, Rafe and Arabella — did much the same.
Armed with bows, arrows and wooden swords, they ran across the grounds of the 1,000-year-old Warwick Castle, climbed its three magnificent towers, gaped in awe at huge birds of prey and whooped and hollered as the mighty Trebuchet shot great balls of fire 150ft into the air.
They dined ravenously, as only hungry warriors do, in the Banqueting Hall, while cheering on two knights doing battle with huge swords and axes.
And as evening fell, they retired with their parents (by now with sore knuckles from badly aimed sword swipes) to the medieval-themed Woodland Lodges, which opened this month in the castle’s grounds.
Set yards from the languid, lily-covered waters of the River Avon, which snakes its way through Warwick Castle’s 64 acres, the new woodland accommodation is a great launchpad for family fun.
Each of the 28 lodges is designed to fire the imagination and teleport little minds back to the golden age of chivalry.
Thankfully, they are a little more comfortable than the medieval theme suggests. They sleep five, with one double room, plus a second with bunk beds and a pull out mattress.
And there’s a TV, central heating, free wifi and a throughly modern ensuite bathroom.
Outside is a wooden deck where parents can have a drink while they watch their knights and princesses romp around the woodland.
fjords focusBreathtaking scenery, reindeer and the home of Frozen's Queen Elsa . . . Scandi paradise has a lot to offer
The Grape EscapeHead to wine country in the South of France for vespa adventures and wine (lots of wine)
FOREIGN OFFICE WARNING UKGovernment issues 'high' terror alert for Brit tourists planning to travel to France
MISTAKEN IDENTITYDad managed to travel to Spain on holiday using a passport - belonging to his 12-year-old daughter
The £40-per-person-per-night price includes breakfast (but not dinner in the Banqueting Hall), two days’ entry to Warwick Castle, parking and also Have-A-Go-Archery lessons and a Knights’ School (with REAL swords) — which was a magical experience for Sir Rufus and Sir Rafe, aged eight and six.
They joined a small group of children being given some history lessons, which, for them, was the trip highlight. And Princess Arabella, two, had a charming time being read a bedtime story — by an older princess — in her tent nearby.
The site is connected to the main castle attraction grounds by a priority entrance. From there we could explore the castle’s attractions and activities.
My children’s favourite was the Horrible Histories Wicked Warwick stage show where they learned all about the castle’s rich and bloody past from two hilarious actors.
The Bowman Show was also special, where they were shown not only a feast of weaponry, but taught the disputed origins of the V sign — not the peaceful version, I might add.
The newly opened Horrible Histories Maze was a treat of history and puzzle-solving, while the Trebuchet — a giant, fire-slinging catapult - is every bit as good as it sounds.
There’s more than enough to entertain little ones and adults alike in the spacious grounds — the Bird of Prey Show, the multimedia Time Tower experience and exploring the Great Hall and the ramparts are some highlights.
For the over-tens there are gruesome goings on in the Castle Dungeon which dates from 1345, plus there’s stunning scenery.
If there is ever a bittersweet moment for a parent, it is being faced by a child crying at the thought of going home because they don’t want to leave this magical world.
But leave we did — under threat of leaving them in the dungeon if they didn’t get back in the car.
GETTING THERE: Warwick is the nearest train station or by car the castle is two miles from Junction 15 of the M40.
STAYING THERE: B&B In a Knight's Lodge is from £40 per person per night or from £37.50 per person per night in a glamping tent, including two day's entry to the castle and its attractions and shows; see warwick-castle.com/sleepovers.
The Mediaeval Dinner Feast with knights' floor show is £18.95 per adult (kids £9.95); standalone entry to the castle is from £18.50 per person.

El Camino, a startup founded by a Colombian-American, raises $1.1M Pre-Seed to be the travel industry’s first experiential marketplace for women
While the fashion, beauty, and health industries have been quick to cater to the diverse needs and priorities of women, the travel industry has fallen behind. Despite the fact that women travelers are the fastest-growing segment in the industry, they have long been disregarded by major players. Now, one travel startup is aiming to change that and usher in a new era of experiential travel that is personalized, inclusive, and inspiring.
Enter El Camino, a Washington, DC-based travel startup and the travel industry’s first experiential marketplace that offers a variety of unforgettable experience travel options for women.
Led by industry veteran and Colombian-American founder Katalina Mayorga, and Justin Bridges, El Camino originally started as a traditional small-group travel company, but over the years saw first-hand the growing pain points of women travelers who prioritized safety and valued unique immersive experiences but lacked credible options when booking.
To further take its platform to the next level, El Camino Travel (El Camino) announced today it has closed a $1.1 Million pre-seed funding round led by Slauson & Co. with participation from Trip Ventures. Other backers included angel backers Joe Zadeh, former VP of Experiences at Airbnb; Kinjil Mathur, CMO of Squarespace and Rafat Ali, Founder and CEO of Skift.
The fresh cash infusion will primarily be used to accelerate the development of the underlying technology of the company’s marketplace which dramatically increases efficiency and lowers costs for El Camino as well as its operating partners. In addition, the company will be able to expand its inventory to keep up with the growing demand for its small-group trips.
Generating millions in revenue since launch, the funding proceeds will be used to accelerate El Camino’s technology build, brand awareness in the $360B tours and experiences sector of the industry, and its mission to be the first premium marketplace for women travelers that connects them directly to exceptional experiences.
As Google searches for ‘solo female travel’ in the US grew by 312% over the past 12 months in 2022, El Camino’s revenue grew by 172% from 2021 to 2022 proving women will pay a premium for quality curation. In just a short time, Mayorga has led El Camino to become one of the fastest-growing experiential marketplaces and subscription services that empower women to travel boldly while modernizing the archaic small-group travel sector.
“In a world full of brands in fashion, beauty, and health that cater to the needs and priorities of women – travel has yet to keep up. Women travelers have long been ignored by industry giants even though they are the fastest-growing segment. They deserve more. We are laser focused on delivering them the first high-quality and trusted experiential marketplace that always keeps them top of mind as a customer and makes it easy to book completely unique travel experiences that they would not be able to find on their own. Most importantly, they will no longer have to sacrifice the quality of their travel experience because of their gender,” shares Katalina Mayorga, CEO and Co-founder of El Camino.
El Camino’s current marketplace offerings include small group trips to destinations like Morocco, Guatemala, Cuba, Mexico, Nicaragua, Colombia, Egypt, Bolivia, Greece, and others, with an average order value of $3,400. By starting with small group tours, they were able to strategically address many of women’s pain points in one purchase, fill a gap in the market for highly curated multi-day trips, and develop a framework with tour operators that could be applied to new destinations for faster growth.
Women travelers who are unable to join a trip, but are still looking for inspiration and support can turn to the El Camino Clubhouse, an annual membership that costs $99 a year and gives them access to unparalleled travel recommendations, curated travel guides, a forum moderated by the world’s best destination experts, and a community of like-minded travelers.
Commenting on the funding, Austin Clements, Co-Founder of Slauson & Co. and El Camino investor said: “What got us excited about El Camino is the way they are finding the best travel experiences that consider the needs and preferences of half of the world’s population – women. Their success in building an incredible brand that has stood out in a crowded space, and their years of experience with their customers and travel partners uniquely position them to modernize and scale a sector prime for major growth. We believe they are primed to become a formidable competitor on volume and quality of experiences to some of the biggest names in travel.”

Largest leak in history: email data breach exposes over two billion personal records
A new world record re size and scope of data breaches has been set by email marketing service Verifications.io, thanks to some unsecured public-facing databases containing what appears to be just about all of their customer information. Passwords were not exposed in the email data breach, but quite a bit of personal information was. Initial reporting indicated that about 763 million records were exposed, but that estimate has since climbed to a little over two billion records as security researchers have found that at least four of the company’s databases were open to anyone who cared to walk in the door.

Eastern European policy makers would struggle to build firewalls against contagion from a disorderly break-up of the euro because of short-term debt owed to western parent banks in foreign currencies, Capital Economics Ltd. said.
In a worst-case scenario following a potential Greek exit from the euro, eastern European nations may need to resort to International Monetary Fund aid, Neil Shearing, chief emerging-markets economist at London-based Capital, wrote in an e-mailed note today. Strategies such as the Vienna Initiative and swaps with the European Central Bank have “significant barriers” as western lenders are “in the eye of the storm,” he wrote.
Eastern Europe relies on financing from western lenders such as UniCredit SpA and Erste Group Bank AG, which own three-quarters of the region’s banking industry. The banks are already cutting funding to their eastern units as stricter regulatory requirements force them to sell assets and bolster capital.
“If these lines of credit are severed, local banks will struggle to roll over maturing liabilities, resulting in a potentially catastrophic credit crunch in the region,” Shearing wrote. “There is a clear risk that, should the euro crisis get messy, emerging Europe may yet find itself caught in the crossfire.”
During the global credit crunch that followed the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., the Vienna Initiative group of international lenders, governments and regulators persuaded western banks to roll over funding for their eastern units and inject fresh capital if needed.
The IMF, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the World Bank and the European Investment Bank provided $42 billion loans and investment for the largest banking groups to help the flow of credit to the economies.
While the ECB provided liquidity lines to both Hungary and Poland in 2008-2009, eastern central banks may find it difficult to open swap lines again because of the ECB’s reluctance to take zloty or forint assets onto its balance sheet, Shearing wrote.
An attempt to rekindle the Vienna Initiative earlier this year yielded “little more than a series of loose assurances on close co-operation between banks and governments,” he wrote.
Within the region, Hungary and the Balkans look the most exposed to the risks of spillovers, according to Shearing.
Foreign banks’ exposure to emerging Europe fell by less than 3 percent in the last quarter of 2011, about half the drop recorded in the previous three months, the EBRD said in a May 18 report, citing data from the Bank for International Settlements.
In central Europe and the three Baltic nations, cross-border bank claims dropped by about 5 percent in both the third and fourth quarters, BIS data show, according to the report.
