Together with Karel and neighbor boy Afra we made a new board game and tested it - the boys' sisters played along, too. Most of the rules were my idea, but they're subject to change as we test the game.
Everybody rolls 2 dice at every turn. One special die (made with the Lego die) and one regular one.
The special die has the following sides:
CLOSE - close the gates on the board
OPEN - open the gates
MONEY - get a chip
PURPLE - pay a chip
The regular die is for walking, of course. The figures can pick their route on crossings, but cannot go backwards.
Every player gets a 4x10 plate to put the chips (round 2x2 tiles) on; objective of the game is to collect 10 chips so that the plate is full.
There are the following special fields:
- White jumper plate = sing a song and earn a chip
- Brown jumper plate = do a dance and earn a chip
- Red jumper plate = make a drawing and earn a chip
- Tan jumpuer plate = go two steps forward and earn a chip
- Field with a gold or silver ball = earn a chip and put the ball in the bucket. When the fourth ball goes in the buckets, all balls come back in the game at random
- Golden gate: must be open to pass. Earn a chip
- Start gate: must be open to pass
- 'Hit the wall': if you land on the field adjacent to the outer wall with the castle windows, you skip two turns
- Shelter: skip one turn
- Stop sign: skip one turn
- Arrow tile: roll again
- Field with soccer ball: go to the field before the golden gate and put the soccer ball somewhere else
- Antenna: go to the field before the golden gate
Things that need to change:
- Maybe the routing isn't clear enough. Madelief insisted on turning left where she couldn't (hence the pout), maybe I should add an arrow sign. (The way she went about, she'd skip the bit with the gate)
- I designed the game with just one OPEN and two CLOSE sides on the special die, but kids are waiting behind closed gates too much.
- That START gate was annoying. Everybody was waiting for the gate to open and got fed up. It should go.
-Reaching 10 chips may take too long. Maybe I should use smaller plates or let the game end when the first player reaches the slide.

There is a need for a book that fully examines the specific and unique awareness, knowledge, and skills that are necessary for student affairs and other practitioners to be effective and ethical in their helping, counseling, and advising roles. This book addresses the core assumptions and underlying beliefs that impact the helping, counseling, and advising roles and skills that are central to higher education. It synthesizes and integrates information from traditional counseling therapy texts and offers examples of how to utilize such skills within student affairs. Written for faculty members and professionals.
For decades, developing and emerging economies have relied on traditional financing solutions intermediated by commercial banks with limited capital market activity. A vital challenge for these countries is how to mobilise more finance to help accelerate their development and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This event comes at a critical juncture as developed economies begin to tighten their monetary policies and geopolitical tensions increase dramatically, raising new questions on how sustainable capital market ambitions could be achieved going forward.
The current turbulent environment in Europe has also highlighted the importance of energy security and the pressing need to fast-track decarbonisation efforts. This panel explored how emerging economies can achieve significant breakthroughs by mobilising cross-border finance focused on sustainable and inclusive solutions. In particular discussing the growth of blended finance and impact investment flows and their role in building up the stock of assets in emerging market economies with the aim of achieving sustainable development impact.
At the heart of the EBRD’s mandate lies a focus on environmentally sound investment and sustainable development, and the Bank is determined to promote Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) through a unique combination of policy dialogue, investments, and private sector focus. The panel also explored how various parties -- the emerging countries’ authorities, advanced economies’ governments interested in supporting sustainable development, impact investors and IFIs - could work together to support the much-needed quantum leap in finance.

18 June 2018 Kraków’s history spans a millennium: it was the seat of Polish kings and the capital of the country, developing into one of the key European metropolitan centres. The Old Town is an exceptional treasury of works of art, with traces of history and heritage representing nearly all architectural styles from the early Middle Ages to contemporary times.
For centuries, the Main Market Square (Rynek Główny) has been the heart of the city: the largest market square of mediaeval Europe, it has preserved its original shape since 1257, and it was entered on the original UNESCO World Heritage List in 1978. For 600 years, a bugle call has been played from the taller tower of St Mary’s Church, standing by the square, to the four corners of the world. Situated in its centre, the Cloth Hall (Sukiennice), a mediaeval shopping arcade, is one of the most recognisable examples of Polish architecture.
Kraków boasts one of the oldest institutions of higher education in Central Europe, second only to the University of Prague: the Jagiellonian University, whose students have included Mikołaj Kopernik (Nicolas Copernicus) and Pope John Paul II. Wawel Hill, inhabited since Palaeolithic times, has been an important religious centre and home to Polish monarchs since the mid-11th century. Today, with its no fewer than 71 exhibition halls, Wawel Royal Castle functions as a museum, drawing visitors with precious works of Renaissance art, among other attractions. Its arcaded courtyard, a pearl of 16th-century architecture, inspires awe and amazement.
Besides the city centre, the Kazimierz district likewise intrigues owing to many centuries of coexistence of two cultures: Christian and Jewish. Brimming with gems of Judaica of international significance, it is a place teeming with life: home to flea and art markets, and atmospheric taverns, pubs, restaurants, and cafés with live music. The Father Laetus Bernatek Footbridge connects Kazimierz to Podgórze – a district forgotten for years that has become fashionable, yet remaining peaceful and atmospheric. Nowa Huta, the most attractive and comprehensive implementation of the dreams of socialist realist architects, still surprises with the striking symmetry of its monumental structures.
Kraków is also a city with a dynamic cultural life. In 2000 it was a European City of Culture. Every year, nearly 100 festivals and other events, many of world magnitude, are held here; notably Misteria Paschalia, Sacrum Profanum, the Jewish Culture Festival, and the Kraków Film Music Festival (FMF). It is also a city of modern museums, where visitors are invited to discover history in an interactive manner.
It goes without saying that Kraków enchants with its unique atmosphere: lazy and relaxed at times, brimming with events at others, yet always exceptional and inspiring.

The bridge itself was constructed in the late ’60s/early ’70s by New Jersey Bell so they could run telephone poles across the swamp. They left it standing after the work was completed. In its day, the bridge was a popular spot for crabbing. At one time you were able to drive to the top of the bridge and park, but you could never actually cross it because you could easily get stuck in the swampy marsh on the other side. The bridge has been vandalized and actually set on fire a couple of times (hence, half a bridge) It is only a matter of time before the township decides to tear it down.

From a cylinder. Essentially, a Fujimoto cube with the globe closure grafted on top. Of course, when you make a twist closure from a cylinder, you have to fold it up inside and then twist it down. Not as much fun as Fujimoto's method.
Usually, when I fold from a cylinder, I leave an extra bit on one side, to glue over the other. But with thicker paper, this always leaves a lumpy bit and the moisture in the glue always make one edge creep. With this one, I used some paper medical tape I had left over from the recent plague -- used to tape the mask to my nose, so my glasses wouldn't fog up.
Paper medical tape has less sticky on it than most cloth or plastic tape, but its developable properties give it a good application here. Sticks better to the paper than to my (mostly) convex hull. Plus it's translucent and not too bulky.

From the Queensland Heritage Register.
"Yungaba" is a two-storey brick institutional building designed as an immigrant depot in 1885 by John James Clark, colonial architect for Queensland. Following his dismissal shortly after, the plan was developed by Edward Henry Alder and Robert Henry Mills. Constructed by William Peter Clark, the building is described as being of Italianate/Queensland/ Institutional style.
Following the subdivision of Kangaroo Point in 1843-44, lots 21 and 22 were purchased by Judah and Isaac Solomon and Thomas Adams. Some time later John "Tinker" Campbell, a neighbouring land-owner, purchased a share in both lots and transferred his boiling-down works to that location to gain the benefit of the small stream which crossed the properties. Following a series of financial transactions, the land was eventually purchased by Robert Douglas in 1853 for £400. Douglas constructed a house on lot 21 which he named "The Willows". Douglas was a prominent and popular person in Brisbane society at that time although some scandal arose when it was revealed that he had sold his Kangaroo Point property to the government for £14,000 in 1884.
The government had been aware for some time that the immigration facilities at William Street were inadequate for their needs. The decision to acquire the land at Kangaroo Point was justified by the need to provide 'pleasant surroundings' for those who were recently arrived in the colony. The pattern of immigration fluctuated wildly over the years and the period immediately preceding the construction of the Kangaroo Point depot, immigration had been at an all time high.
William Peter Clark, the successful tenderer for the work, ran into a series of difficulties with the construction which resulted in almost a year's delay in the completion. The interior layout was designed by William Hodgen and arranged in a manner typical of institutional buildings of the time. Married quarters were in the form of separate cubicles on the ground level, and single quarters (segregated by gender, and in dormitory form) on the upper level. Symmetrical pairs of laundry and privy facilities were ranged to the rear of the building.
The first administrator was William Edward Parry-Okeden. Parry-Okeden was already a highly competent and practical man with a reputation for fair-dealing and vigorous commitment to his occupation. He and his family moved to Brisbane from Blackall to take up his appointment at the Immigration Depot. Later in life he was to be appointed Under Colonial Secretary and to play an active role in both the management of Aborigines, the organisation of the Native Police and the resolution of the shearers' strikes. Following the floods of 1887, Parry-Okeden and his wife refurbished "The Willows" which continued as their residence during his four years as immigration agent.
From the outset Parry Okeden saw that a number of critical issues needed to be addressed before the depot could operate efficiently. Problems dogged the project throughout its early years. From the start, difficulties were experienced due to poor drainage resulting from the re-direction of the natural drainage into a stormwater drain. Subsequent drainage works had varying degrees of success but the building soon showed signs of rising damp which was exacerbated by the poor quality bricks used during construction. Gas and water connections were either very basic or completely absent from vital parts of the building, there was no wharf facility at which to disembark the immigrants and, once landed, there was no facility for isolating those suspected of suffering contagious disease.
For a long time it was argued that the damp problem was a result of rain beating on the sides of the building, rather than due to poor site drainage. In 1891 the verandahs on the eastern end of the northern side of the building were extended to shelter the walls from the rain. A matching verandah extension at the western end was not constructed until 1899 as the expense was considered too great when the source of the damp had not been proven. The later extension was made to regain the symmetry of the facade, rather than as a means of protecting the walls from the rain.
Wharf facilities were provided at the river bank in 1887 with a large luggage shed on the river bank. Parry-Okeden pointed out that the design was less than practical since a wide gap had been left between the two structures. At high tide the wharf was cut off from land by a twelve foot expanse of water. At low water the wharf was inaccessible from the river due to the shallow water at this point. Repeated requests were necessary before the problems were rectified.
An outbreak of scarlet fever in 1889 lent urgency to the already noted need for isolation wards in which to treat sick immigrants. The same year a facility was constructed, but, due to an oversight in the plans, it had no facilities for the provision of gas or water or for the disposal of waste and storm water. Similar problems dogged the long awaited 'disinfecting plant' which was first vandalised and later inundated due to faulty drainage.
When immigration levels were low, the building was used for a variety of purposes. In 1900 it served as temporary accommodation for the inmates of the Dunwich Asylum which had been appropriated as an isolation ward for plague victims. In 1904-'06 it was again appropriated as accommodation for South Sea Islanders being repatriated under the new Commonwealth laws. The arrival of an immigrant ship led to the re-location of the Islanders to rented accommodation nearby as it was considered inappropriate to expect the "two races" to co-habit.
The outbreak of World War I led to another change in use, the building being requisitioned for use as a military hospital. Few alterations to the fabric occurred as a consequence, although two single-storey wards were constructed to the southeast of the building. At the end of the war, the building provided an ideal reception area for returning servicemen who, with their wives, were feted at public receptions. Most of the building activity associated with this phase was removed at the end of the war.
From the end of WWI and throughout the '20s, immigration swelled. The Great Depression of the 1930s led to a rapid fall in numbers, exacerbated by the cancellation of the assisted passage schemes. In 1938 the assistance scheme was reinstated and numbers rapidly climbed, only to fall again with the commencement of WWII.
During the period of inactivity in the 1930s, the building was used to house the team working on the construction of the Story Bridge. Accommodation for the superintendent of works, J. J. C. Bradfield, was provided in the eastern room on the ground floor of the north wing. The entire upper floor of the north wing was devoted to offices and drafting rooms for the works in progress. Four dormer windows were inserted into the roof of the North wing dormitory to provide additional light for the draftsmen. The team for the concurrent Stanley River Dam project were relegated to a large room on the lower floor
The bridge construction was undertaken by Evans Deakin, who converted the immigration depot's grounds into an industrial site with workshops and storehouses. A row of three open sheds cut off the connection between the hostel and the river, remaining in place until some time after the works were completed. The bridge is carried on tall stone pylons across the site to the rear of the principal building. The danger from falling debris and intentionally thrown objects has resulted in the need to identify an easement across the property on which no buildings can be constructed.
With the commencement of WWII the hostel was used to accommodated a hundred women and children evacuated from Hong Kong in 1940. In 1941 the depot was once again converted into a hospital, treating general patients. In 1942 it was devoted to 'special' cases - those soldiers suffering the effects of venereal diseases. The buildings along the river frontage continued to be occupied by Evans Deakin, however most of the other structures on the site were used for the treatment of patients. Most of these buildings are now demolished.
The post-war immigration boom led to a renewed life for the building which was now named Yungaba State Immigration Office and Reception Centre. The name "Yungaba" derives from the Gubbi Gubbi Aboriginal language from the Maroochy area and means "place of sunshine". The volume of post-war immigration was such that the hostel was unable to cope with more than a small proportion of new arrivals, and the bulk were re-directed to the many empty military camps around the city. Of these, Camp Columbia at Wacol was perhaps the best known.
This period saw what were probably the most extensive alterations to the building that have occurred to date. Cubicles were provided in the downstairs dormitories, toilet facilities were re-modelled or re-built, the kitchen was enlarged and refurbished and the exterior brickwork was limewashed. In the period since, the building has been subjected to various minor intrusions and alterations, with the removal of the verandahs and their reconstruction in 1990 being a major impact on the original fabric. Poor management and an inadequate maintenance program have contributed to loss of fabric, and the various internal subdivisions have had a negative impact on the effectiveness of the internal ventilation designed into the building by William Hodgen. In 1993 the building was refitted to provide office accommodation for the Department of Family Services. This refit involved the demolition of the partitions in the North wing. The access to the river was regained following the demolition of the sheds occupied by Evans Deakin and the new accommodation facilities erected in the 1970s respected this important axis.
In 1988 Yungaba became the first building to entered on the Queensland Estate Register maintained under the Cultural Record (Landscapes Queensland and Queensland Estate) Act 1987. The entry was a result of community concern over the impact of the re-development of Kangaroo Point and the need to conserve significant elements of the community's heritage.

On December 8th, 2012 P4K and EPN launched the Farmers of the Future program officially in Gueriguinde. Both the Minister of Education and the Minister of Livestock participated in front of a huge crowd of 400! This program is being piloted in three schools in Libore, with the goal of changing the mindset of children about agriculture -- teaching them that it is a business not merely a way to subsist.
Generally speaking the defense works at the Golden Gate had relatively short working lives. As new naval capacities were developed, shore batteries became obsolete or were reformulated to make them both survivable and effective. Located inland from Battery Mendell, Battery Wallace started out as a late Endicott Period open air gun emplacement. It was completed in 1919 to mount two 12-inch coastal rifles on state of the art Model 1917 carriages. The guns, mounted 420 feet apart, could fire their massive projectiles up to 17 miles seaward.
Twenty-five years later, as World War II approached, the Army redesigned Battery Wallace to provide overhead cover as a defense from attack by aircraft. This casemating of the battery, completed in 1944, provided a steel reinforced concrete enclosure for the guns as well as underground rooms for munitions, equipment and storage. The earth cover for the casemating provided both camouflage and blast protection. By 1948, long-range aircraft and the prospect of missiles rendered the battery permanently obsolete after 30 years of service – a relatively long lifespan for a coastal defense work.
These photographs are from a fine spring day in 2014. Battery Wallace remains snuggly settled into the surrounding landscape, the mature vegetation carpeting its earth cover presently convincingly as a natural hill.
