Over 50 youth from Albania, Greece, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Kosovo, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Slovenia came together to learn how art can influence advocacy to solve their burning societal issues. From comic strips, and data visualization to graffiti and stencils, they learn how to use different art techniques during the Art and Design for Advocacy training which took place in Ohrid, Macedonia from 22-28 June 2015.

Here's Mount Pilchuck from my house.
In my nostalgia, or rather my ibuprofen and aspercreme fueled delirium, I thought of pulling up a photo of the thing for reference.
When one talks about the fight for independent trade unions in Egypt, Qalyoubiya has to feature strongly. Though initially their involvement in the protests was not as strong as their counterparts from Giza and Daqahliya, the Qalyoubiya real estate tax collectors, led by Tarek Mostafa, the dynamic provincial organizer from Kafr Shokr, ascended strongly. Tarek’s efforts have been central in mobilizing the civil servants in his province to join the three month strike last year, and send delegations to the Hussein Hegazi Street occupation in December. Following the victory, members of the Higher Strike Committee convened to discuss its future, and whether its raison d’etre had ended. It was Tarek in specific who lobbied the committee members not to disband, and take the fight to a new phase with building a free union.
He’s a very charming person, and more importantly, has a clear sharp vision of what’s to be done. When he talks, he does it with passion and he wins over his colleagues smoothly to his side. Tarek seems to be among the most developed and politically able Higher Strike Committee members. Keen on coordination with other civil servants and blue collar workers, he understands well the significance of the current project he and his comrades are involved in. Addressing them in Kafr Abu Goma’a, Tarek said:
"What we are doing today is something that will change Egypt’s history forever. If we build our independent union, we will encourage other people to do the same in the government service and in the factories. We will have something the country hasn’t seen in half a century: Free unions… We are not confronting a government. These are thieves. Let’s be frank and say it as it is: They are a gang of thieves. They think they can use the tax collectors as a whip against the people, against the poor. But we will show them. We will only be a whip on the rich. We are poor ourselves. The poor are our brothers. Those we should collect taxes from are the rich, who are ruling Egypt… This state never compromised from the time of the pharaohs till today. The only time it compromised was with our strike. We are strong. But we were then acting united. We are all happy for the 325% increase. But come on, we know these are nothing. We thank God for the increase of course, but our rights have been eaten up for 34 years. This 325% is just the beginning. We need full equality in treatment with the General Tax Collectors now. They get more than 600% bonuses. We need decent retirement pensions. We need to be able to feed and cloth our kids, pay for their schools. Our sisters need paid maternal leave days. How are we going to do that? We need weapons to confront this state. We cannot carry firearms, but we need weapons. Our independent union will be one of those weapons. That will be the safeguard our rights are not taken."
On November 7, 2013, the Louisville Area Chapter hosted “A Thankful Affair” at MilkWood Restaurant to recognize Clara Barton Society members. Clara Barton Society is a recognition program for individual donors who have given between $1,000 and $9,999 to the Red Cross. These generous donations allow the Red Cross to respond to disasters and provide several, free services to military members and their families, including communication between soldiers and their loved ones following an emergency such as the birth of a child. Society members were joined by representatives from the military and entertained by the Ladies for Liberty, a singing troupe from Louisville dedicated to performing in a patriotic style reminiscent of the 1940s. For more information on the local Clara Barton Society, call 502-561-3691.

...for the jam...
A kumquat is the smallest under the citrus (eventho it looks large on the picture) and the taste is between an orange and a lemon.
When volunteers leave there is usually a send-off party with speeches and flowers so that the university community can thank visitors for their contribution.
The Minister for Children and Youth Affairs Frances Fitzgerald TD today launched the Irish Childhood Bereavement Network which has been set up to support those working with grieving children and young people. Based on a UK model, the Irish Childhood Bereavement Network will act as a hub for those working with bereaved children, young people and their families in Ireland. The aim of the network is to facilitate easy access to a choice of high quality local and national information, guidance and support to enable children to manage the impact of death and the loss in their lives. The Irish Hospice Foundation has agreed to host the Network for the first two years and will seek to source funding for its ongoing development.

Portrait by official Photographer of the French Government Henri MANUEL.
Edition by A. NOYER, Paris.
Editor's Note:
This Portrait always provokes a one-hundred-year-old lively Argument: is the Photograph depicting Marcel (another WWI Flying Ace, whose second Name was also Maurice !) or Maurice NOGUES
This became cyclic and quite polemical, for exemple as the french Post Office edited a commemorative Stamp or during Wikipedia Editions
The Ambassador for a Day campaign is a flagship initiative of the British Embassy
Sofia.
Launched in 2018 to celebrate International Women’s Day with a positive act, it has now become one of their most recognised and widely supported initiatives.
The concept has evolved over the last two years. In essence, Ambassador for a Day is a national essay competition for girls between 14-18 years old (8th to 11th grade).
The core objectives behind the initiative are:
1. To encourage young girls from across Bulgaria into diplomacy by giving them
the opportunity to experience what it is like to be an Ambassador.
2. To empower them to add their voices and perspectives to issues that affect us
all.

For some people home is all they can carry in their hands, on their backs, in a super market cart...
And this is now a most familiar street scene, common in all countries.
And the shame is not on these people, it's on the political leaders of these countries and on all rest of us who vote for them!

For the first time in 183 years, Historic Werrington House was open to the public.
Ventured along, so did a few other hundred people, considering it was only open for three hours and there was a two hour wait to snout through the house, uninterrupted photo ops weren't to be.
It's hidden right in the middle of 70s constructed suburban dreams, if it wasn't for the new gates you'd never know it was nestled in there.
For many years it was home to the "Father of Federation" Sir Henry Parkes, Premier of NSW on 5 separate occasions from 1872 to 1891. Now owned by the former NSW Opposition Leader Captain Peter Collins and his wife Jennine.

I was so happy to see these bloom last fall and I can't wait to see if they survived being wintered in my house, oh I hope it flowers again!
And so today it was time for the planter's annual coat of paint.
Still blue, like the sea in Greece.
And it made me think.
How satisfying it felt that I was able to preserve the life of the planter for another year.
Just as it had felt good to re-use the old fence's softwood.
Just as it had felt good to use the raw wood to create the original fence.
For many years now, the wood has lived on with a little re-invention and a little care.
For many years, I too have lived on with much attempted re-invention and a little care.
And we have spent the majority of our existence in one re-invented state or another.
But once, for a very brief period, this was a beautiful tree.
And what was I?
For my cousin who just got married. The bride had sunflowers in her bouquet, and the bridesmaids wore lime green dresses. The bronze cardstock was the same she used for her wedding invitations.
