Human Rights in Bosnia and Herzegovina With Particular Emphasis to the Enjoyment of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
Human rights and fundamental freedoms are the inherent rights of every human being on the planet, they are, as a rule, universal, indivisible and inalienable. Human rights are there, around and between us, every day and every moment of that day. In addition to the state territory, the inhabitants populating that territory and the public authorities, human rights are nowadays an indispensable, fourth element of the state. It is the duty of every democratic state to protect the basic human rights and fundamental freedoms of every human being, without discrimination on any grounds: sex, race, color, property, origin, political or other opinion. In addition to civil and political rights, which are somehow always in the focus of observation of all of us (certainly because of their importance), human rights and freedoms of the second generation, i.e. economic, social and cultural rights, must not be neglected. These rights will be mostly in focus of this paper, and especially their status and implementation from the perspective of a special institution that deals with the promotion and protection of human rights - the Institution of the Human Rights Ombudsman of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

TripAdvisor Reviews Hostal Dorado Granada
Travel Blogs from Granada
... officials themselves had got the hang of things!! Our route continued along the edge of Lake Nicaragua and on to the historic city of Granada where we stayed overnight in a lovely colonial-style hotel. The following day we enjoyed a well- earned rest day! Went on a city tour of Granada and did the crater trail around the Mombacho ...
... 3 spider monkey’s and 1 white faced monkey they call Michael Jackson. They were very interested in the boats and hopeful for bananas. Very cute.
We stopped at another island which had nothing but a restaurant. They also had a diving board which Bambi and I insisted on doing before ordering our food. The owner told me I had to run or jump really far otherwise I would hit rock. YIKES... Run and jump off of this rickety thing!?! ...
... these natural attributes, but hopefully it will come soon and help make life easier for everyone. The Nicaraguenses, or Nicas, are very patient, uncomplaining people. Even on the crowded chicken buses they often stand for 5 or 6 hours on bone jolting roads and in all our journeys I have never seen anyone get irritable or short tempered. It only seems fair that after all their suffering they should be entitled to some peace and prosperity.
... of days in year. No matter - they are very beautiful. They are full of wildlife, in particular a variety of bird species. We took a two hour trip around them with our guide, Franklin, organised through our hotel Con Corazon. There is an entire living and working community on the islands; they have a school on one island, a cemetery on another, a couple of restaurants and bowling ...
... excited, Janelle just told him to embrace
We got to swim in the swanky pool, with some ducks that we knew
Shall we go to the Laguna? Its too expensive for just us two
We enjoyed our time in Granada, hora feliz was our gain
And all the macuas and mojitos, many Victoria’s did we drain
We finally had that Lava cake, ate much more than we could take
We leave here tomorrow, for San Carlos we escape.

Most people will not end up too far from where they started, eventually living in a house that is 63 miles away from their birthplace.
People will travel 32 miles during each move, according to research carried out by Bosch.
It seems that people stay true to their local area, as just one in five people end up living 200 miles or more away from where their first house was located.
More than 2,000 British homeowners were polled for the report, which suggested that people will move twice before they turn 18, before living in another three different houses during their twenties.
The most common reason to move was to get away from parents, with a quarter moving to go to university, while 34 per cent moved in with their partner.
A spokesman for Bosch said that moving house is a huge life change and something that many people find daunting.
He added: "It's amazing to think that the average Brit is having to go through the process of packing up their belongings and moving them to another house eight times over a lifetime."

After Cincinnati pulled away for a 17-point win at USF last month, Bulls coach Jeff Scott told Bearcats coach Luke Fickell he’d be pulling for his AAC adversary the rest of the way.
“I hope they get what they earn and get a spot there in the top four,” Scott said afterward, “because I’d love to get an opportunity to watch them represent us this year.”
Scott got what he wanted; the No. 4 Bearcats finished unbeaten to earn a spot in the College Football Playoff and a showdown Friday with No. 1 Alabama. In some ways, Cincinnati represents every Group of Five program because of the way it finally burst the glass ceiling. But for USF, the Cotton Bowl connection is deeper.
Cincinnati represents what USF has the potential to become.
The parallels between the programs are plentiful, beyond their shared AAC affiliation. Both sit in top-30 metro areas. Both are based in fertile recruiting areas. Both must battle local pro teams and nearby blueblood college programs for attention. Both have had multiple top-25 seasons and multiple eight-loss seasons in the past six years.
Cincinnati’s explosion, then, can serve as a model for USF — more of an outline than a template.
It starts, as it always does in college football, with recruiting. The Bearcats’ last four recruiting classes have been ranked first, second, first and first in the conference. Three of them were ranked in the top 50 nationally.
Those rankings explain why Cincinnati has won back-to-back AAC titles. But the Bearcats are poised for their second straight top-10 season because their players have outperformed their recruiting profiles. Three Bearcats (quarterback Desmond Ridder, cornerback Ahmad Gardner and defensive lineman Myjai Sanders) will be early-round NFL draft picks. A half-dozen others (including Armwood High alumnus Jerome Ford) could also be drafted.
“If (fans are) surprised,” Ridder said, “then they haven’t been watching our games.”
The only surprise is that some of them weren’t highly recruited. Ridder wasn’t among the nation’s top 1,600 recruits in the 2016 class but has first-round potential. As a 163-pound prep player, Gardner’s Power Five offers were Indiana, Kentucky, Iowa State and Syracuse. The Bearcats beat several MAC schools to land Coby Bryant, who won the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation’s top defensive back.
Offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock said the process starts with identifying the “right individuals that have the potential for growth,” then developing them properly.
ESPN analyst Todd Blackledge sees something else. Blackledge, an Ohio native whose dad was a former Cincinnati assistant, said Luke Fickell’s Bearcats don’t spend much time fighting futile recruiting battles against Ohio State for blue-chip talent. Instead, they focus on landing three-star prospects that fit.

“I think that template of understanding who you are and how to recruit to who you are and then developing the guys once they get there to fit your culture and to fit your team and what you want to do schematically is a really good model,” Blackledge said.
It’s a model that could work at USF. The Bulls can add an occasional player the Gators or Seminoles want (like December signee Eddie Kelly), but those victories will be rare.
The better blueprint is to focus on fit. Cincinnati wants blue-collar players that fit the program’s Midwestern footprint. UCF, when it has been at its best, has centered on speed. The Bulls’ identity has been harder to define, which hasn’t helped.
Cincinnati also has found the right balance for the transfer portal. At least eight players on the depth chart are transfers, including the leading rusher (Ford, from Alabama). Fickell said before last year’s Peach Bowl that the portal is “not a big way we want to build our program,” but it can help.
USF went heavy on transfers in this recruiting class to add immediate experience and talent to a program that needs both. But it probably isn’t a long-term blueprint for sustainable success.
The Bearcats’ transfers also are noteworthy because of where they’re from: at least seven grew up within 60 miles of Cincinnati, signed elsewhere and came back home to flourish. That list includes star linebacker Darrian Beavers (UConn), all-conference safety Bryan Cook (Howard) and defensive lineman Jowon Briggs (Virginia).
Their additions are part of the Bearcats’ clear focus on mining local prospects from a talent-rich state. In Fickell’s first spring, only 11 scholarship players were from Ohio. More than half (45) of them now are. The Bearcats list 27 players as Cincinnati natives (including walk-ons). That has created an undeniable hometown pride; Beavers has the city tattooed on his arm.
“Cincinnati is in my blood,” Beavers said, “and I feel like the recognition that this city has gotten from this football team has been extraordinary.”
USF, to its credit, has been following a similar approach to take advantage of its own recruiting hotspot. Five of USF’s 12 incoming transfers are from the Tampa Bay area, as are three of their other 13 signees.
Though Cincinnati’s roster management is something the Bulls can follow, other aspects of the Bearcats’ rise are trickier. Quarterbacks of Ridder’s caliber are hard to find. Five defensive starters are super seniors who used their extra year of eligibility from the pandemic, providing a rare level of experience.
Cincinnati also has invested heavily in facilities; Nippert Stadium has been renovated twice in the last 16 years (including an $86 million expansion in 2015), and the school is working on an indoor practice facility as it prepares to move to the Big 12.
Together, they created the Group of Five program that finally broke through to the playoff. And, perhaps, gives a clue at how USF could get there some day.

In an opinion piece published in The Plain Dealer today, Mayor Frank G. Jackson explained to readers why the Quicken Loans Arena Deal is a good investment in the city’s neighborhoods.
Last week, Cleveland City Council passed legislation approving the city’s $88 million commitment to the Q Transformation Project.
“The Q deal is one of the best the city of Cleveland has ever made for the benefit of our residents and neighborhoods. And it’s one of the best I’ve seen in my 27-year career in public office,” Mayor Jackson wrote. “The deal requires the Cavs to extend their lease at the Quicken Loans Arena until 2034. The project is a forward-thinking investment in Cleveland’s neighborhoods, with big results now and in the future.”
The Mayor also explained last week in a Facebook Live video, posted below, more about the Q Deal and why it is a good investment for the City of Cleveland.


When state police Cpl. Steve J. Ballard was pronounced dead from gunshots last week at Christiana Hospital, Delaware Gov. John Carney attempted to console his wife Louise.
Instead, the composed widow and mother comforted the governor, and even managed a bit of levity in her most excruciating moments.
“Stephen wanted to be governor,” she told Carney. “He was coming after your job.”
Carney drew lighthearted laughs when he told that story Friday during Ballard’s funeral service. The governor was joined by Ballard’s widow, father, fellow troopers and ministers in telling inspirational, heartwarming and sometimes humorous stories about the slain officer to about 3,000 mourners at the Chase Center on the Riverfront in Wilmington.
The 32-year trooper, an 8 ½-year veteran, was gunned down at close range April 26 in the parking lot of a Wawa convenience store in Bear after approaching two men in a suspicious vehicle. The murder suspect, Burgon Sealy Jr., was shot to death by police the next morning in Middletown, authorities said, after barricading himself overnight at his father’s house, firing at officers repeatedly and then emerging with a weapon.
Ballard’s 2 ½-hour service, which was preceded by a 2-hour visitation, was punctuated by the image of hundreds of troopers from as far away as California, Colorado and New Mexico, standing solemnly in formation for hours in the driving rain outside the Chase Center on the Riverfront. Earlier Friday, two processions of police vehicles drove from Christiana Mall to the service, briefly closing the northbound lanes of Interstate 95.
About 2,500 people gathered in the Chase Center’s cavernous Wilmington Hall for “A Farewell Salute.” Police from 36 states joined Ballard’s family and friends as well as Delaware’s political and law enforcement dignitaries. In a separate conference room, about 500 members of the public watched the service on a large screen.
Speakers celebrated the life of an only child from an Air Force family who gravitated to law enforcement after graduating from Delaware State University and loved being a state trooper.
The Rev. Meredith Griffin, who gave Ballard’s eulogy, said the trooper told him he wanted to get involved in politics eventually, though he didn’t mention wanting to be governor.
Ballard told the pastor that he went into law enforcement because if he wanted to drive public policy and laws as a politician, “I really needed to know what is going on in our communities.” The trooper was that rare individual who was “actually taking the road less traveled,” Griffin said.
State police Superintendent Col. Nathaniel McQueen Jr. frequently fought back tears as he praised the dedication of the first Delaware trooper shot to death since 1972.
“Steve fought the good fight with dignity, grace and a contagious smile,” McQueen said. “He was a constant ray of sunshine.”
McQueen said Ballard distinguished himself by earning two lifesaving awards – one for helping to locate an unconscious person who tried to commit suicide, the other for performing CPR to revive someone who was unconscious and unresponsive.
Now Ballard is tragically gone, a victim of the violence he tried to solve and prevent. “Our hearts are broken,” McQueen said.
The police superintendent told the audience that unlike most of his troopers, Ballard didn’t hesitate to invite him to his wedding in 2015.
Troopers appreciate members of the executive staff showing up “but they also appreciate when we leave so the party can begin,” McQueen said, drawing laughter.
Ballard, however, was happy to have the top trooper join the festivities. McQueen said he was touched by how Ballard told Louise’s daughter Abigail: “When I marry your mother, I marry you.”
Louise Ballard, an attorney, wore a stoic expression and smiled warmly as she stood by his flag-draped casket and greeted teary-eyed mourners for two hours before the service. Among them were three members of Delaware’s congressional delegation, who presented her with a folded U.S. flag that flew over the U.S. Capitol on the day her husband was killed.
Addressing the audience later, she remained calm and poised.
She thanked everyone for attending, and said she would always be there for the state police whenever they needed her.
Her husband, she said, “just moved through life without asking for anything in return.”
Having so many people pay their respects and say goodbye, she said, “is his victory.”

Kaboodle is an absolute game-changer when it comes to renovating the laundry, putting you completely in charge of creating your room your way.
And if you thought it was too hard (and scary) to sit in the driver’s seat of your reno, we’ve got great news. A Kaboodle laundry is as simple as planning what you want, choosing your colours, measuring the space and selecting finishes. The Kaboodle planner helps you map out all the details before you hit play on the project and you can either choose a DIY installation or hire a professional to put it all together for you.
Best of all, a Kaboodle laundry takes the designer price tags out of achieving a gorgeous laundry by offering modular and customised products. Use modular for the basics and then add the finishing touches with customised features to keep your budget in check and your aesthetic singing. And with new Kaboodle Trends colour options, you can get as creative as you want!
7 Kaboodle Laundry Ideas To Inspire Your Reno
To give you an idea of the magic possible with a Kaboodle laundry, we’ve rounded up seven designs that will fuel your planning and show you just how easy it is to achieve that designer look without breaking the bank.
Dreamy Timber Accents
Wood tones bring warmth and a touch of Scandi style to laundry rooms. So, it’s only natural that Australian homeowners are firmly embracing this designer trend. We love how easy Kaboodle makes adding timber tones to laundries with its beautiful range of solid timber, timber-look and bamboo benchtops in both modular and customisable options. Loving this luxe laundry – what’s not to love about white and wood?
Euro Done Your Way
We know – sometimes space just isn’t on your side. With Kaboodle, you can achieve quiet sophistication with plenty of storage for clothes drying racks and more in a European laundry design as seen in this Melbourne renovation. Simply choose your colour palette, customise your cupboards, bench and shelves and you’ve got yourself a functional, space-saving laundry that looks as great as it performs.
A Seamless Finish
Want to go sans handles for next-level smoothness in your laundry? Kaboodle has got you covered with its discrete j-pull handles, so-called because of their j-shaped grooves. These clever handles provide plenty of room for fingers to open up cupboards without clunky hardware cramping your style.
The Blackest Black
Black is having a huge moment in Australian homes, from stunning black vanities to modern laundries – and Kaboodle makes it easy to bring the black back with its rich, gorgeous Molasses V cabinetry. Not only do you get a designer minimalist matte finish, but it has an anti-fingerprint finish to boot. Pair your cabinets with a Plaza Handle in matte black for a seriously sleek finish.
The Look Of Stone – For Less
If you want to achieve the stone or marble look without the hefty price tag, check out the range of smart stone-look laminates. Choose from 20mm or 38mm thickness in 23 different colour schemes and patterns. We’re crushing hard on the Italy-inspired Terrazzola laminate pictured in the Kaboodle laundry above; it’s both classic and clean.
A quick glance in any interior design magazine will tell you that shaker doors and cabinetry can do no wrong. Kaboodle makes it super easy to achieve Shaker bliss with its Alpine Profile option featuring a glorious recessed centre for texture and clean lines for days. Choose from a range of thermoformed colours or go for ‘raw’ doors and paint them any colour of the rainbow!
Truly Versatile Benchtops
Kaboodle proves that a benchtop is most definitely not just a benchtop – they also work beautifully as feature shelving. We’re especially sold on the idea of floating shelves in a beautiful timber hue for a fresh Hamptons look.
They say the laundry is the most important room of the house after the kitchen, so dust off those ideas you put on the back burner years ago and head over to Kaboodle to bring your dream laundry to life.
Find Kaboodle products at Bunnings stores nationally.
Kaboodle is a partner of the upcoming Making HOME renovation series.

Andy Williams sang that Christmas was “the most wonderful time of the year.” But actress/director Paprika Steen knows better.
Paprika Steen’s third feature as a director, That Time Of Year (which premieres at TIFF on Sept 7 and is sold by TrustNordisk) is set in one family house in one crucial day – Christmas Eve into Christmas Day – when an extended family gets together for yuletide “bonding”: criticising each other’s recipes, re-opening at old wounds, and confronting looming disasters.
So it’s not a Christmas film about Santa Claus. “It could have been midsummer or Thanksgiving, it’s not really about Christmas itself, it’s about that day of the year when family comes together,” Steen explains of her motivation.
“I am interested in psychology, in how we interact with each other. There are no taboos left in the world, but in the family there are taboos, there is, we compete, we let our children compete. I don’t know where we get this brain from,” she says with a laugh.
Steen came up with the shape of the film, and some specific ideas (not all autobiographical, she insists!) and then hired with playwright Jakob Weis to wrote the script.
She also stars as Katrine, a wife and mother who is hosting the annual family gathering, simultaneously coping with a mentally absent father, an overbearing mother, attention-seeking sisters, and a looming crisis with one of her children. All while trying to juggle the Christmas Eve traditions.
Lots of people from many cultures will recognize the feeling of family chaos. “I wanted to make a real picture, to hold a mirror up, to cry and to laugh…I am always going after the truth, the hard truth and the funny truth,” she added.
The experienced ensemble cast includes Sofie Gråbøl, Patricia Schumann, Lars Knutzon, Lars Brygmann, Karen-Lise Mynster, Jacob Lohmann, and Fanny Leander Bornedal.
Steen wrote the parts for each of them and respected that each actor has a different process. For instance, she said, “Sofie Grabol is more mathematic and still. Lars Brygmann is using the Stanislavski method. And Karen-Lise Mynster, who plays my mother, is a theatre actress who works all the time.”
Directing an ensemble film was new for her – trying to “make it look effortless” to block 14 actors and a dog was a new challenge. She drew on some inspiration from acting in an ensemble family story herself in Thomas Vinterberg’s Festen back in 1998.
She was also inspired by ensembles like in Robert Altman’s Nashville, George Lucas’ American Graffiti, or the wedding scene in The Godfather.
That Time Of Year shot for five weeks starting in November 2017 in Funen, an island in Denmark. The house they shot in was a character in itself, and thankfully had even more space than they required – more bedrooms than needed, a second attic, and a smaller house on the property that could be used for wardrobe, hair and makeup.
Steen first directed 2004’s Aftermath, then 2007’s With Your Permission, but then went into a creative fallow period before coming up with the idea for That Time Of Year. It was producer Mikael Rieks of Nordisk (who also happens to be her ex-husband) who encouraged her to direct again, saying she was “wasting her talent” if she didn’t.
She’s clearly got the directing juices flowing again, as she’s already thinking about her next script, a story about parenting.
Meanwhile, she is taking this film to international festivals – Toronto then BFI London Film Festival – a sign that this isn’t a typical local Christmas comedy. “It’s nice to go outside your own country,” she says, as a household name in Denmark. “There is another seriousness for who you are, there is a distance that I like, your work comes first,” she says.
After Toronto, That Time Of Year will play at the BFI London Film Festival. Nordisk releases in Denmark on November 8.

Growing Peppers - Tips for Success
From fruity sweet peppers in rainbow shades of yellow, orange, or red to habaneros hot enough to bring tears to your eyes, all peppers share a preference for a long, warm growing season. Set out transplants a week or two after your last frost, when the weather is settled and warm. While cool weather reigns, keep your seedlings indoors at night, and move them to a protected sunny spot outdoors during the day.
Peppers may be sweet and mellow or fiery hot, depending on variety. By growing an assortment of varieties, you can have mild, meaty peppers for salads or stir-fries, slightly spicy peppers for fresh salsas, and hot peppers for bold jolts of flavor.
When choosing varieties, include a range of both flavors and fruit sizes. Under hot summer conditions, varieties that bear huge fruits may shed their blossoms, but small, thin-walled peppers often keep going strong. Small-fruited peppers also ripen faster, which is important in cool climates where summers are short.
As peppers change from green to yellow, orange, or red, both their flavor and their vitamin content improves dramatically. People who think they don’t like peppers often change their minds once they have tasted fully ripened, garden-grown peppers.
Soil, planting and care
Peppers grow best in a near-neutral soil with a pH between 6.2 and 7.0, although they can tolerate slightly alkaline conditions near 7.5. Mix a 3- to 5-inch layer of compost into each planting hole, as shown in the step-by-step planting directions. A generous amount of organic matter helps the soil retain moisture, and moist soil is crucial for good pepper production. After planting, mulch each plant to keep the soil cool and moist.
About 6 weeks after planting, soon after peppers begin flowering and setting fruit, it is often helpful to feed plants lightly with an organic or timed-release fertilizer to keep them going strong. Simply pull back the mulch, scatter fertilizer around the base of each plant, and replace the mulch before watering well.
Gardeners in hot climates may need to be patient with big bells and sweet roasting peppers, which often wait until nights become longer and cooler in late summer to load up with fruit. The wait will go by faster if you have less flashy (yet phenomenally productive) banana peppers to combine with tomatoes and basil in cool summer salads while bigger varieties slowly load up with fruits.
Hot weather can cause bell peppers to pause, but just keep watering and caring for your plants. They will come back as soon as nights cool.
Harvest and storage
Most pepper plants hold numerous green fruits when the first freeze kills the plants. Very immature peppers often taste bitter, so it is better to compost them than to serve them for dinner.

Nissan delivers the first 2011 Leaf electric car in Tennessee
The proud first owner of a 2011 Nissan Leaf in Tennessee is Mr. Jeff Heeren – the other of a virtual telephone company named NumberGarage.com. Mr. Heeren lives with his children in Nashville and his wife Ashley - who works for the Tennessee Parks Foundation. The Heeren’s new 2011 Nissan Leaf is an SL model (premium trimline) finished in silver and they bought their new Leaf at Action Nissan in Nashville.
Before the initial launch of the 2011 Nissan Leaf, the automaker worked with the Tennessee Valley Authority and the State government to advance the development of the electric vehicle charging infrastructure – in other words pushing to have available charging stations in popular locations around the Nashville area. While other areas have since developed their own charging infrastructure, the program in Tennessee was the first of its kind in the US and that effort by the various parties helped make Tennessee one of the initial launch markets.
In addition to the other initial launch markets mentioned above, Tennessee Leaf-buyers will continue to receive their new electric cars as the second shipment of 2011 Leafs (or is it Leaves?) hit US soil on Monday, headed for dealerships for customer distribution. Early next year, the distribution areas will add Hawaii and Texas before hitting their nationwide launch in 2012. The pre-orders for the initial wave of 2011 Nissan Leaf electric cars was closed earlier this year when those units “sold out” but Nissan plans on opening orders mid-2011 and depending on the success in the initial markets, the automaker may shift additional market growth in to late 2011 rather than 2012.

Blue Mosque: A Masterpiece of Islamic Architecture
Begin your journey at the Blue Mosque, Istanbul’s most visited monument, renowned for its exquisite blue tiles. The Blue Mosque is a prime example of the grandeur and elegance of Ottoman architecture. It showcases the pinnacle of the empire’s artistic and architectural achievements, reflecting the wealth, power, and cultural sophistication of the Ottomans during their zenith.
The Blue Mosque, also known as the Sultan Ahmet Mosque, is an iconic symbol of Istanbul and a masterpiece of Ottoman architecture. This historical site is renowned for its stunning blue İznik tiles, which give the mosque its distinctive name. The Blue Mosque was built between 1609 and 1616 during the reign of Sultan Ahmet I. The mosque was designed by the renowned architect Sedefkâr Mehmed Ağa, a student of the great Mimar Sinan. The construction of the mosque was a grand project to showcase the wealth and power of the Ottoman Empire.
Sultan Ahmet I, the 14th Ottoman ruler, was a pious and ambitious leader. He commissioned the construction of the Blue Mosque to rival the beauty of the Hagia Sophia, a nearby Byzantine church that had been converted into a mosque after the conquest of Constantinople.
The Blue Mosque is a stunning example of classical Ottoman architecture. Its exterior features a cascading arrangement of domes, semi-domes, and six slender minarets, which are unique to the mosque. The main dome is supported by four massive columns, creating an impressive visual impact. The interior of the Blue Mosque is adorned with over 20,000 handmade İznik tiles in varying shades of blue. These tiles, featuring intricate floral patterns, are the primary reason for the mosque’s nickname. The mosque’s stained glass windows allow for a soft, diffused light to enter the space, creating a serene atmosphere for worship.
The Blue Mosque features a spacious courtyard, surrounded by a colonnade of 30 domed bays. The courtyard’s centerpiece is a beautiful ablution fountain, used by worshipers for ritual cleansing before prayers. Take a moment to wander through the courtyard, soaking in the breathtaking views of modern Istanbul while observing the locals going about their daily lives.

Stroll through the historic Hippodrome, once the center of social and political life in Istanbul. Learn about the importance of the famous obelisks and delve into the stories of chariot races, gladiator fights, and political uprisings that took place here.
The Hippodrome of Constantinople was an ancient stadium that played a vital role in the social and political life of the Byzantine Empire’s capital. It was a place where people could enjoy thrilling chariot races, witness grand imperial ceremonies, and participate in various public events. In this article, we’ll explore the rich history of the Hippodrome, its architectural design, and its legacy in modern-day Istanbul.
The origins of the Hippodrome date back to the reign of Emperor Septimius Severus in the 3rd century CE, who constructed a stadium on the site to entertain the citizens of Byzantium. Later, Emperor Constantine the Great significantly expanded the stadium in the 4th century, transforming it into the grand Hippodrome of Constantinople, the center of public life for the new capital of the Roman Empire.
Throughout the Byzantine era, the Hippodrome was a focal point for both entertainment and political power struggles. Emperors lavished resources on the chariot races and other spectacles, using them to garner public support and distract the populace from political issues. The Hippodrome continued to be an essential part of Constantinople’s social life until the city’s conquest by the Ottomans in 1453.
Under Ottoman rule, the Hippodrome lost its significance as a sporting venue, but its monuments were preserved and even incorporated into the new city plan. The area surrounding the Hippodrome became a gathering place for public events and ceremonies, including parades and festivals.
Hagia Sophia: A Symbol of Istanbul’s Rich History
Next, visit the world-famous Hagia Sophia, an architectural marvel that once served as the most important site of the Greek Orthodox religion in Istanbul. Discover how it was converted into a mosque after the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople, and marvel at the unique fusion of mosque and church elements.
Admire the Hagia Sophia’s awe-inspiring dome, minarets, mosaics, paintings, and Roman columns. Learn about the addition of İznik tiles over time, the creation of the stunning Virgin Mary mosaic, and the reasons behind the Ottomans choosing to bury their sultans in the courtyard.
Arasta Bazaar: A Glimpse of 17th Century Architecture
Conclude your tour with a visit to the Arasta Bazaar, a hidden gem nestled in the shadow of the Blue Mosque. This modest open-air market in the heart of Sultanahmet offers a glimpse into the 17th-century architecture of public buildings. Enjoy a relaxing tea break and hunt for unique souvenirs to take home.
End your small-group tour in Sultanahmet Square, equipped with insider knowledge and tips from your guide to help you navigate the rest of your time in Istanbul independently.

Skip to comments.Dan Snyder insists that the Redskins will never change their name.
Posted on 05/09/2013 2:54:04 PM PDT by BlueStateRightist
From fans to journalists to politicians -- and certainly many of Native American descent -- the Washington Redskins' team nickname is offensive. That much is clear. Congress weighed in this March, leaving some to wonder if these people didn't have anything better to do, but the controversy rolls along. On May 1, David Grosso, an independent District of Columbia councilman, introduced a bill that would have the Redskins changing a name that Grosso says is "racist and derogatory."
No matter where you stand on the issue, there's only one guy who's going to make the call to change the name, and that's team owner Daniel Snyder. And it should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with Snyder's headstrong ways that he's not going to change that name anytime soon.
(Excerpt) Read more at sports.yahoo.com ...
HTTR! Not a Snyder fan in general, but he’s a winner on this issue. He’s been saying this for years.
Yes, but they’ve needed to change the owner for years.
“I can finally say something positive about Dan Snyder”.
LOL.... ain’t that the truth!
When will the bullets change their name?
Doug Farrar is an idiot. Congress has done NOTHING. City Council has done nothing. But Farrar says they have weighed in. Idiot. Nobody cares about this except the few who want the name changed. they should focus their ire on the NAACP! You know what that stands for.
What about the “Washington Elitist Nincompoops”? /s;)
From fans to journalists to politicians — and certainly many of Native American descent — the Washington Redskins’ team nickname is offensive. That much is clear.
No it’s not. I’m a fan. I’m of American Indian (who aren’t “native”) descent. I’m not offended.
/not directed at you BlueStateRightist
They did - their the Washington Wizards now.
Ouch - their. LOL.
They are, that is.
What about the Washington Senators?
What about the Ottawa Senators?
I never took Latin, but I'm pretty sure their logo isn't a senator.
Here are a few names that would make sense for the current regime:
1) The WASHINGTON STAND DOWNS
2) The WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT COVERUPS
3) The WASHINGTON Why does it matters
4) THE WASHINGTON It was a Video
5) THE WASHINGTON Progressive anti american democrats
6) The WASHINGTON 4 DEAD IN BENHGAZI’s
A few idiots find the name offensive. Fugg ‘em.
I kind of like The WASHINGTON BOHICAS.
The Washington Conspirators.
Hey, that’d actually be popular.
Danny boy, I used to like him until he started to blame everyone else for his team’s woes. Lucky for him that the latest pile of poo he stepped into finally turned into gold n the form of Bobby (as his mother calls him).
I’m glad they’re resisting this but he won’t own the team forever and if the league is still around long enough for him to sell, the new owners will change the name. I hear Whooping Cranes is available.


Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab and Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden have been urged to announce a political boycott of the Games if Beijing refuses to allow a thorough investigation into allegations of atrocities in Xinjiang province.
Beijing has strongly denied international claims about the treatment of Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang despite reports indicating that more than a million people have been arbitrarily detained and allegations of torture and forced sterilisation.
Shadow foreign secretary Lisa Nandy and shadow culture secretary Jo Stevens have written to their counterparts setting out the need for a political response to deny the Chinese government a public relations victory.
“We have consistently pressed the Government for more robust actions to address this appalling situation, including more extensive sanctions against senior officials responsible for what is taking place in Xinjiang and more robust measures against forced labour,” the Labour MPs said.
“We are now calling on you to use the occasion of the Games to press the case for unfettered UN access to Xinjiang to conduct a full, transparent and independent investigation. This has been repeatedly sought by the UK and other governments but has not yet been realised.
“If this is not granted, the UK Government should not send ministers, royal family members or senior representatives to participate in any official duties or ceremonies at the Beijing Olympics.
“The Chinese government will want the Games to be a diplomatic success.
“A political boycott by the UK and other states would send a strong signal of the deep global concern with the plight of the Uighur and prevent the Games being a PR exercise for the Chinese authorities.”
Labour stopped short of calling for a sporting boycott, arguing that that would not be fair on competitors who have trained for four years for the chance to take part, or on the Chinese people who are not responsible for the situation.
The Opposition said the political boycott should be triggered if China has not ended its “systemic persecution” of the Uighur people and granted inspectors access to Xinjiang by Sept. 14, the opening of the UN General Assembly session in New York.
Nandy said: “For as long as China continues to block access to Xinjiang, no self-respecting government should even consider handing a PR coup to Beijing.
“The UK Parliament recently took the unprecedented step of recognising what is happening to the Uighur is genocide. After a decade of Tory prime ministers rolling out the red carpet to Beijing, this must be the turning point.”

School: Universal College Aley
Teacher: Diala Hassan
Have you ever imagined being an astronaut and landing on one of Saturn’s largest moons? Enceladus is the sixth largest moon of Saturn.
It is mostly covered in ice, making it one of the most reflective objects of the solar system. NASA should dig deeper into this freezing type of moon in order to solve its mysteries and maybe even discover something new.
Enceladus is known as the most reflective surface in the solar system. Recent researches indicate that Enceladus reflects about 90 percent of the sunlight that hits it. This high reflectivity is caused by a very smooth surface of fresh water ice is extremetly frigid. This characteristic makes this moon a very interesting study case.
Because Enceladus reflects so much sunlight, the surface temperature
Enceladus joined the small group of moons known to have an atmosphere.
Enceladus is by far the smallest moon to have a gaseous covering, and it is said that it may extend hundreds of kilometres from the surface. The Cassini spacecraft, currently orbiting Saturn, has found a layer of water vapour surrounding the icy moon. Enceladus has a very interesting atmosphere especially for a moon.
After long studies, scientists believed that Enceladus is capable of containing life. Hydrogen is of
immense significance because its presence along with hot water and rock would enable microbes to create a living dissolved carbon dioxide reacts with dissolved hydrogen, this produces methane and water. This chemical reaction releases energy that organisms can use to drive their metabolism.
Now that Enceladus has all the important ingredients to make this happen, the only lacking piece is proof of life itself.
Enceladus has become one of few important moons by being the best reflective moon identified to man, having a captivating atmosphere, and having the possibility of being habitable. In my opinion, all these factors make Enceladus worth studying further, and expanding our knowledge about this astonishing moon."

text: The primary aim of the present study was to examine the effectiveness of daily consumption of vitamin D3-enriched, reduced-fat Gouda-type cheese on 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentration in postmenopausal women. Health-related quality of life (HRQL) indices were examined as secondary outcomes.This is a single-blinded (i.e., to study participants), randomized, controlled food-based dietary intervention study.A sample of 79 postmenopausal women (55-75 years old) was randomized either to a control group (CG: n = 39) or an intervention group (IG: n = 40) that consumed, as part of their usual diet, 60 g of either non-enriched or vitamin D3 enriched Gouda-type cheese, respectively, for eight consecutive weeks (i.e., from January to March 2015). Sixty grams of enriched cheese provided a daily dose of 5.7 μg of vitamin D3.There was a differential response of mean (95 % CI) serum 25(OH)D levels in the IG and CG, with the former increasing and the latter decreasing significantly over the eight weeks of the trial [i.e., by 5.1 (3.4, 6.9) nmol/L vs. -4.6 (-6.4, -2.8) nmol/L, P < 0.001, respectively]. The percentages of study participants with 25(OH)D levels <30 (deficiency) and <50 nmol/L (insufficiency) were significantly higher at follow-up in the CG compared to the IG (41.0 vs. 0 %, P < 0.001 and 74.4 vs. 47.5 %, P < 0.001, respectively). The emotional well-being scale of the HRQL score increased in the IG compared to a decrease in the CG (3.2 vs. -3.8, P = 0.028). However, none of the other seven scales of the HRQL score significantly differentiated between study groups (P > 0.1).Consumption of 60 g of vitamin D3-enriched, reduced-fat Gouda-type cheese provided a daily dose of 5.7 μg of additional vitamin D3 and was effective in increasing mean serum 25(OH)D concentration and in counteracting vitamin D deficiency during winter months in postmenopausal women in Greece.

Leamington mum in run to thank '˜amazing' hospital for caring for Jake
A Leamington mum and novice runner is taking on the Birmingham 10k to raise funds to pay tribute to the care received by her baby son.
Julie Wall’s son Jake was born six weeks premature in June 2014 and at when he was just eight weeks old, he was diagnosed with craniosynostosis, which causes an irregular head shape and can cause learning difficulties, sight problems and headaches.
Jake, whose skull was the shape of a rugby ball, underwent surgery at Birmingham Children’s Hospital on the day he turned seven months old.
He was in theatre for six hours while surgeons removed his skull, took away the fused suture that had distorted its shape and then re-built his head shape.
Julie said: “It was a huge success. He was incredibly swollen following surgery, but as children do, he bounced back and we were home four days after the surgery.
“Now his brain now has space to grow and he has a much more rounded head shape.
“He is a lovely, lively, bright little boy now and none the wiser of his ordeal.”
Jake still goes to the hospital for check-ups every 18 months and will have to do so until he is in his teens.
Julie added: “Birmingham Children’s Hospital were amazing, from the first initial emotional outpatients appointment, to this very day. If I have a query or worry, they are there on the end of the phone. We will never be able to thank them enough.”
After having lost over four stone with Slimming World, Julie decided to run the Birmingham 10k - which takes place on May 1 - to raise funds for the hospital.
Still hoping to lose another three stone, Julie said: “I want to be a good role model and secure a healthier and happier future.
“I’ve done the Race for Life, but nothing on this scale and am excited and nervous to be a part of this.
“My training is going well - I started last year with the Couch-5k app and was hooked!”

Construction exits continue as ISG, Sir Robert McAlpine and Willmott Dixon lose bosses
This week’s managerial merry-go-round continues, with ISG’s construction Managing Director Alan McCarthy-Wyper suddenly exiting the firm after just 18 months at the healm.
McCarthy-Wyper was hired by ISG CEO David Lawther in May 2013 from Balfour Beatty, replacing Craig Tatton, with the remit to streamline the company’s struggling UK construction division.
During his short tenure, McCarthy-Wyper was able to cut overheads by shrinking the division into three regions, however construction made a £1.2m operating loss this year following disappointing profits in 2013.
ISG construction Group Risk Director Phil Brown takes over his role in the interim.
McCarthy Wyper’s exit follows that of Willmott Dixon Divisional Chief Executive of Capital Works, John Frankiewicz, who announced he was bringing a 30-year spell at the company to a close at the end of the year.
He will be replaced by John Waterman, who is currently Managing Director of the company’s regional Construction office in Cobham.
Frankiewicz will return as a Non-Executive Director in 2016 after year-long sabbatical from the industry.
Sir Robert McAlpine Regional Director Vince Corrigan also announced his departure from the company after 30 years yesterday. He has been replaced by Director of Operations Tony Aikenhead.
uPVC pipes, safety glasses and Spetz app launched
This week has seen a range of new product and service launches for the construction trade.
Vinyl Pipes has launched uPVC Column Pipes, which extend the life of pipes. Column Pipes with a power lock (patent pending) will not only to raise the safety standards but improve the efficiency of Borewell installations. This Lock system, a by-product of the in-house R&D team, is designed to bear load making the pipes stress-free, torque resistant and perfect for handling high pressure water.
Conscious that using the correct glasses could prevent 90% of jobsite injuries, Milwaukee's expanded range (pictured) features anti-scratch and fog free styles, new lens colours and magnification features, complementing its 'cut resistant' gloves.
Arriving on the UK app scene, Spetz is billed as a ‘one-stop shop’ for anyone "panicked by household flooding or electricity failure," as it unites tradespeople with consumers.
Spetz founder and CEO Yossi Nevo said urgent needs come in all forms and it’s unlikely that any household has tried and trusted tradespeople to match every possibility.
"The Spetz app rapidly connects them with a suitable ‘rescue service’ in as little as 30 seconds and that rapid reassurance is completely free - it’s the tradespeople who pay for these job leads. Those start at around £6 a time, but the tradesperson can then go on to make thousands from our automated system funnelling the best and most appropriate work their way.”
Spetz is now three years old operating in Israel, Australia and is now beginning a full UK rollout, after a ‘soft’ launch.

MP for St George North Gline Clarke. (FILE)
IS THE MINISTRY of Housing or its agency the National Housing Corporation (NHC) catering to the rich, middle income Barbadians or the poor?
That was the main question posed to Government in the House of Assembly by St George North Member of Parliament Gline Clarke as he contributed to the debate yesterday on a proposal by Government to compulsorily acquire 2.9 hectares or 7.1 acres of land at Brighton, St George, for housing purposes.
Clarke, a former Minister of Housing, contended that the NHC lots at Parish Land, St Philip, now on sale at almost $20 a square foot, could not be considered a solution for low income Barbadians.
Moreover, he argued that too many housing solutions offered by the state agency required prospective buyers to be earning between $3 000 and $5 000 monthly. At that rate, Clarke said too many poor people would be eliminated from homeownership. (GE)

Many hours of preparation and hard work came together on the 18th of April at the Cultural Society’s annual dinner.
Around 80 students, staff, family and friends from different cultures joined to celebrate our own unique heritage. The theme of the dinner this year was District Six. The decorations that were inspired by the Bo-Kaap filled the Thompson Hall.
The foods served were all traditional South African dishes and the abundance of entertainment added to the already vibrant atmosphere. We were entertained by our very own Jazz band as well as two incredibly talented poets. The night ended with a fun-filled quiz about South Africa.
The whole night was planned and organised entirely by the Cultural Society who put a lot of effort into making sure the night was successful.

Frequently Asked Family Law Questions

- By Suzanne L. Cross
We are all Sisters on Turtle Island, the Creator made it so.
Some Sisters live in danger and seek to escape the pain of isolation, abuse, and violence.
Their resolve may be self-harm, lashing out, or running away.
Youthful Sisters may naively seek a life of adventure;
only to be coerced into criminal acts for survival.
Our Sisters are profoundly missed,
and their absence extremely saddened us.
There must have been a disconnect,
for they did not recognize our love and readiness to help.
Before sleep, we pray to the Creator to return our sisters safely.
In the darkest of night, we whisper their names and reach out
for the warmth of their hands, with no response.
We call out their names at sunrise and in the afternoon
as their children return home from school.
We are filled with continual angst and internalize the pain of
sadness which impacts our daily lives.
For they are Our Sisters.
We seek to create a ‘Circle of Protection’ for our missing Sisters.
Our Brothers are essential in the completion of the ‘Circle of Protection.’
As Sisters and Brothers, we honor each of our lives with love.
Therefore, we will work to eliminate the power of those
who endanger lives of Indigenous women and girls.
For they are Our Sisters!

PRETORIA — The Democratic Alliance was hoping to increase its support from the 22% they managed in 2014, but all indications are that they are not going to be able to replicate their previous national performance. The party’s leader Mmusi Maimane said at the IEC centre that he is proud that his party managed to retain the centre ground. There are rumours that his leadership may be challenged due to the lack in growth in support for the party. – Linda van Tilburg
I’m grateful and I want to thank the people of this country. I want to especially thank all South Africans who voted for the DA. I am really, really proud of all of you. I am proud of the vision that you are standing for because exactly four years ago, I was elected leader of the DA and I’m proud of the mission we’ve embarked on. It’s a mission to build one South Africa for all. It was always a mission to say we will grow into communities we’ve never grown before and hold the centre of politics where Black, Indian, Coloured and White people can work together to realise the dreams of a prosperous nation. So, along with that, I’m proud that we’ve maintained that mandate. We’ve gone out to build in a universe where so many in the world will hark back to racial nationalism and a form of populism, which stayed the course.
It’s an historic mission that this party has always been engaged with and it’s one that I am proud to continue and will continue. We are going to be taking this party forward to grow in more communities and grow in more areas because ultimately, it’s about holding the centre. It’s about making sure that citizens can work together. More than anything, I know that when we stepped into this election, we promised that in this place, South Africans need to be brave. They need to know that they’re standing before a liberation movement and one day, this country will enter into a post-liberation movement era. That is what this project is about. It’s about breaking the back of that so that one day, we can live with a party that contests against racial nationalism at its best. And therefore, what I think this election has been about is the realignment of politics.
Love him, hate him Mmusi Maimane is an orator of note. He spoke with passion and love for South Africa and its people. He spoke for the youth and women. He articulated what the DA intends to deliver for South Africa. Viva Mmusi Maimane viva #DAfinalRally

It’s about bringing together a new centre ground that the DA will occupy and will continue to… There’s been a rise in nationalism and parties that stand for that (maybe) in some ways, have been rewarded but it doesn’t mean the project is wrong. It means that you have to pursue it, regardless of what happens. And what I’m looking forward to in the next while, is building with a team of South Africans that are diverse. Where votes have been lost, we’re going to go back and work hard to get movers…gain more support because we’re the only alternative in this country that’s holding the centre together. I want to say that the thing I celebrate about these election results is the fact that we demonstrated that we’re a diverse race; that it doesn’t matter where we’ve come from.
I just got the latest projections that say that in fact, even in a place like Soweto where the DA was accustomed to only getting 5% of votes there – it’s getting 13-14% – details that show that it’s growing. To me, that tells me that we can grow in Soweto as we can in Sandton. That is a powerful mission. In a world where people are saying, “No. I want to stick to my own”, people are standing together in this election and I’m grateful for that. I want to say, “Yes, at times citizens will become worried”. As I said in our closing rally, “Yes, it is tough for South Africans. It is a tough time. The economy is in a terrible state. We’re growing at 0.8%. It’s why our mission of putting a job in every household has never been more important and that’s why I’m grateful that we will retain the Western Cape and here in Gauteng, we are challenging.
As you can see, no-one can guarantee that the ANC will retain it’s outright majority and that’s because we must never fall prey to the lie that says that ‘in fact, only people who look like you, worship the same God as you, or speak the same language as you are the only ones who can protect your rights’. The facts are: people can work together. Nobody…no leader enters a race looking for a loss. No person goes into a tournament or a competition wanting to… You go and you win and you go, and you work hard. I’m proud of what the DA has done. We could have succumbed to populism narratives. We could have succumbed to forgetting our values but we’ve stuck to the course and we’ve gone full-tilt. Even though we’ve lost some votes, I can guarantee you that we held the centre.
DA’s James Self tells 702 that as the party, they have to go back to the drawing board. He admits that some of DA’s supporters might have voted for VF Plus and the new political party, Good. He further states that at this point, he can’t tell whether Maimane will stay or go.

As a party. We, as a party, will go back and work even harder to regain those votes and I will regain the project going forward because it is the project I’ve always been engaged with. It is a project that I will go and speak to everybody to say ‘let’s continue this mission’. We have shown that when we govern, life does get better. That’s why we can retain. We’ve shown that even here in Gauteng. We are competing here for the votes. I’m proud of what this party’s doing and I want to say – humbly so – that even for South Africans who say they’ll vote one way: I can promise you now. We’re going to work hard to get those votes. We’re going to work hard to grow from here. This is a party of all South Africans. Change is not always easy. It is hard but you must pursue it. You must pursue it with everything that you can and I will continue to do so.
What we begin now, is a project towards 2021. The elections will soon come again. Our record of government, where we’ve shown…is in fact, showing that actually, 15 of the 20 municipalities are DA-run. We will show. We will add to the lists when we’re at Johannesburg and Tshwane. I’m actually quite excited that soon, very soon, we’re going back to Nelson Mandela Bay where ultimately, vacancies have been declared. We’re going to contest them. Looking at the election results, we’re showing that in the wards we’re going to contest, that we’ve got a significant amount of votes there. We will go back and take those seats and we will contest for that municipality in the near future so that we can continue to govern Nelson Mandela Bay and show the people.
That’s why I’m glad to have Athol Trollip here – the chairperson of the party – and James Selfe who is the federal chairperson and Solly Malati who is our national spokesperson. They’re our fellow South Africans. This is about this contest in South Africa. One is where you get nationalism on one side and one where you get a party like the DA that stands for all South Africans. That is the race. And whilst this election has shown that we are realigning politics, it shows that we have a long journey. It may not have happened this time, but trust me. Give us 21/24. We will demonstrate to the people of this country that we can hold all South Africans together, make them prosper, and bring change to our nation, which our nation so desperately needs. Thank you.

I am trying to figure out how to match the centering of the mat with the screen view in SCAL. The screen view is perfectly centered, but when I put the mat through the Silhouette cutter the object to be cut is 1/2" off. However, if I an object in the Silhouette program it is right where it should be. I sent an email to support, and they helped me with getting the object in the correct horizontal position, but it still is not centered and I haven't heard back from them since then. Any ideas?

Detailed application for Aston Fields housing estate is approved
4:40pm Wednesday 13th February 2013 in News
A DETAILED application for a scheme to build 181 homes in Aston Fields went before Bromsgrove planners on Monday, (February 11).
Bromsgrove District Council’s planning committee originally rejected the application in 2011, but this decision was overturned on appeal with the Planning Inspectorate giving the go-ahead last year.
A reserved matters application, seeking approval for the appearance, layout, scale and landscaping, was considered by the committee at its latest meeting.
Martin Clark spoke on behalf of the Hazelcroft Residents Association, which fought a long-running campaign against the scheme.
Mr Clark raised various issues including there would be no screening and that the traffic increase would lead to traffic chaos at peak times, in the village.
Dean Shaw, from the applicant Redrow Homes, also spoke.
He said: “Over the last six months Redrow has worked closely with the council and been in regular contact.
“As a result, the scheme has altered.”
He highlighted one major change; that outline planning permission was granted for 212 homes but the applicant was now proposing a development of 181.
Councillor John Ruck said that the committee were aware of the residents’ feelings and concerns, but the appeal had been allowed.
Councillor Helen Jones raised concerns about how dark footpaths on the scheme would be, questioning the safety for the public, so proposed a condition be added for additional lighting.
After two votes were taken, the application and the additional condition were approved.
• The committee also considered the modification of a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) on a Charford Road site, which KFC has planning permission to build a restaurant on.
Savills architects had objected to the TPO being an area order that included trees it considered are not of any visual or amenity benefit, to justify protection.
The tree officer agreed and recommended the order be modified to just protect a group of six red oak trees on the site.
The committee passed the officer’s recommendation.

E3 2010: Sid Meier's Civilization V (Impressions)
6/25/2010 9:58:00 PM
After two and a half years of work, Sid Meier’s Civilization V is about ready to be unleashed on the masses. Fans of the past series and turn based strategy in general should be pretty happy with what’s coming out.
What I first noticed right off the bat was how great the game looked. I mean the map just looks gorgeous when the person demoing the game was panning around showing off the various tile sets they had. The tile sets range from Asia, America, Africa, and a few others but they all looked incredibly detailed for a Civilization game. To show off the land, they lifted the fog of war, which is actually pretty nicely represented by overhead clouds. As you traverse the land discovering new areas, the clouds dissipate in the areas you discover but normally, it just looks like a very cloudy day for the unknown.
Each of the leaders now has very cool detailed animations and voices that speak their native tongue. If you know French, then you’ll understand Napoleon without having to read the sub titles. The animations are just awesome and when you are negotiating with another leader, it’s just really cool to see them in their respective environments and fully animated.
One of the major changes has been the move from a square tile set to a hexagonal tile set. This helps moving enormously and it was one of the things I did a long time ago when playing some D&D. The flexibility in hexagon versus square should make for more efficient movement in the diagonal areas.
Improvements in the UI should also make for an easier game to manage. There’s a cool little notification system on the bottom right where it will queue up events as they happen. Clicking on them will take you right to the place of interest so you’ll spend less time hunting for the place where the action is.
As with any strategy game sequel, AI improvements have been put in to make the game a little but more dynamic. For example, if the computer sees that it’s not going to win by an outright invasion, they might switch up to try a diplomatic route. The goal is to make it a little more human by introducing some adaptation into the fray so let’s hope this does make the game a little bit more challenging and fun when playing against the computer.
Pulling up the tech tree, the demo showed off a very long and impressive looking amount of items to research. One of the cooler things, for those who don’t like to micromanage, is the option to click an item ahead in the tech tree and the game will automatically research the necessary items to get to the one you selected. You can still manage it all yourself, of course, but those that want to focus on other things can set it and forget it.
Mods are going to be fully supported, of course and there’s word that you can import maps and such from Civilization IV into Civilization V. To help you find other mods, there will now be a central repository for all things Civilization V so you can download new mods without having to leave the game interface. This should help out many folks as playing a new Civilization V mod is but a few clicks away rather than hunting the Internet. If you want to create your own mods, Firaxis will be shipping all tools needed and they are all streamlined to be easier to use as well.
The demonstration was capped off by taking down the space shuttle that Montezuma built so they denied him of a technology victory. Seeing Montezuma all distraught talking to you was so funny and I couldn’t help but comment to the Firaxis folks how cool it all looked.
Civilization lovers should be pretty excited if what I saw is any indication. From all the graphical improvements to those that are under the hood, Sid Meier’s Civilization V should be another big hit for Firaxis and I’m sure the cause of many late nights to come as you aim for just one more move.

MIAMI (CBSMiami) — Miami-Dade teachers will be getting some extra cash in their paychecks thanks to the $20 million distribution in performance bonuses.
According to our news partners the Miami Herald, checks hit the mail on Friday.
The bonuses are part of the Miami-Dade County Public Schools’ federal Race to the Top funds which are made available for teacher performance pay.
Most teachers should be getting about $1,000, with 700 top performers getting up to an additional $3,000, according to the paper.
This is the first time the bonuses, negotiated with the United Teachers of Dade, are based off of Florida’s new formula for teacher evaluations.
The district is aligning its performance pay with state law, according to the paper. This means raises for new teachers will be based off their evaluations.

There's absolutely no indication of whence the 12 tracks on this budget-priced CD come, but the fact that "I've Got Rhythm" runs nearly five minutes, and that the title of "Three Little Words" is spoken aloud, and some numbers have applause at the end, tell us that these are postwar radio transcriptions. Whatever their origins, the tracks are pretty much all first-rate big-band jazz by one of the best bands of its kind -- Jimmy's band always had more of an edge than Tommy's, and the music here is fairly ambitious and executed with sharp playing, crisp articulation and decent-length solos. Other songs include "Shine On Harvest Moon" (with a great sax solo), "Imagination," "I'm Stepping Out With a Memory Tonight," "Moonlight on the River," "Sophisticated Swing," and a hot finish with "Just You Just Me," from the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York. The sound is extremely clean throughout, although the textures vary slightly -- "Someday Sweetheart" sounds like the singer is in some cavernous hall, while much of the rest seems to emanate from smaller clubs, or at least closer microphone placements.
