May 8, 2019. Boston, Massachusetts
On May 8 the Latvian Ambassador to the United States Andris Teikmanis took part in a ceremony in Boston to open the Latvian Honorary Consulate in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The new Honorary Consul is a member of the Latvian diaspora Mr Uldis Kārlis Sīpols. The consulate is located outside Boston – in Norwell.
Ambassador Teikmanis spoke of over a century long connections between Latvia and Massachusetts – starting from the first Latvian community organizations to Latvian information technology and culture sector exports today. The renowned conductor maestro Andris Nelsons leads the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
Opening of the honorary consulate took place in the historic John F. Kennedy Library in Boston. The event was attended by over seventy guests, including other consuls, honorary consuls, representatives from the Governor and Mayor offices, as well as state-level senator Mr David DeCoste.
Latvia and Massachusetts share historic ties. One of the oldest Latvian organizations American Latvian National League was founded in Boston 101 years ago. Massachusetts is still home to thousands of Latvian diaspora members. Last year Latvians along with Estonians and Lithuanians organized major centennial celebrations of the Baltic countries – a classical music concert at the Boston Symphony, panel discussions, crafts marketplace, Boston Baltic Film Festival, as well as folk song and dance concert.
Both share tight economic ties. The U.S. Department of Commerce reports trade in goods in 2017 having reached 17 million USD, of which 10 million USD was Latvian exports.
Massachusetts is a U.S. center of innovation for years occupying the top spot in the Bloomberg innovation index. Massachusetts along with California and New York is one of three locations with highest concentrations of U.S. risk capital funds. Greater Boston is also home to three of the two top universities – Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. U.S. Top 50 best universities features five more that are located in the Greater Boston and Cambridge area.
Uldis K. Sīpols was born in 1950 in Michigan. He holds a bachelor’s degree in political science and economics from the University of Michigan and an MBA from the University of Detroit. He has worked in lead procurement and marketing roles in multinational companies such as Ford Motors, Gilette, Proctor & Gamble, Tyco, and Sonoco.
Honorary Consulate in Massachusetts is being reopened after several years. From 2011 to 2015, the honorary consul was Mr Tālis Sēja.
Honorary Consuls are unpaid Latvian representatives, some of whom also manage limited consular functions. Latvia has 20 Honorary Consuls in the United States – in Alaska, Florida, South Carolina, Georgia, Illinois, Utah, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Virginia, Washington, as well as Northern California, Southern California, and the City of New York.

I took this last summer outside the Philippine consulate at 30 North Michigan Avenue in Chicago. I posted this on Facebook on June 12, the day the Philippines celebrates its independence from Spain. I didn't realize I haven't posted it here (at least I don't think so). When you haven't gone out to take photos in weeks, it's back to the archives :) .
Mabuhay (pronunciation: mah-BOO-high) is a Tagalog word used to exclaim "long live". The expression is most often used at toasts (cheers!) during gatherings and parties, at rallies, political conferences, or for praising notable individuals. It is also an expression used in welcoming guests and a way of showing hospitality. The root word buhay means life.
i have a growing facination with china, especially now that i'm moving all of my photos over to www.striatic.fotolog.com.cn and deleting my flickr account.
this building is sort of out of the way, and yet large and functional looking .. it's right on the river, so i suspect they chose the location for that reason.
Remember the real British Consulate-General set up a popup Consulate in College Park back in November 2015? The event was to promote British products, and tourism and investment in the UK. I got a small bag of potato chips ('crisps' in British English). I'm addicted to chips, but try not to consume it.
I resisted and resisted for a month and three weeks. Soon after this photo was made, the chips went into (mostly) my stomach :D

Climate-KIC start-ups Cohere, ViriCiti and Crystal Shower have picked up prizes at a pitching event in San Francisco on 9 September 2014.
The event saw some of Europe’s brightest cleantech entrepreneurs pitch their businesses to a judging panel of local innovation experts at an evening hosted by the Consulate General of the Netherlands in San Francisco’s financial district.
Judges Shana Rappaport, Doug Davenport and Lafe Vittitoe – representing the VERGE Greenbiz Group, Prospect Silicon Valley and the Silicon Valley Bank respectively – awarded prizes to smart vehicle charging start-up Cohere, and to ViriCiti, which has developed an optimisation system for electric city buses.
Start-up Cystal Shower wooed the crowd on the 31st floor of One Montgomery Tower and picked up the Audience Award with a pitch about its self-recycling shower – which drastically cuts costs while delivering three times more water than a traditional shower.
The start-ups that participated in the event are touring the USA until 18 September as part of Climate-KIC’s US Start-up Tour 2014 and have all developed and commercialised technologies that help consumers, businesses and governments mitigate and adapt to the consequences of climate change.

About 75 protesters marched Thursday afternoon from President Barack Obama’s re-election headquarters to three consulates of countries that belong to NATO, protesting the alliance’s involvement in the war in Afghanistan and other military action.
As the demonstration began about noon, protesters lined up on a sidewalk near 130 E. Randolph Street as about a dozen Chicago police officers cordoned off Prudential Plaza by standing behind their bicycles.
Tighe Barry stood in the middle of that line, holding two yard sticks connected to a cardboard model of a drone to protest drone strikes by the United States, which he said have killed hundreds of innocent people.
“Barack Obama, a Nobel Peace Prize-winning president, needs to come clean,” said Barry, from Washington, D.C. “He’s not for peace or for ending these outdated wars.”
The protesters then staged what they called a “die-in,” in which Barry made explosion noises and pretended to kill about a dozen of the demonstrators with his model drone, as he shouted: “Who are these people? They look like they’re doing something bad from 3,000 feet. Whoops, killed some innocent people. Oh well!”
As the 12 protesters lay on the ground, others drew outlines of their bodies on the sidewalk with pink chalk. Most of the protesters belonged to Code Pink, which describes itself as a “women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement.”
One of those women was Ann Wright, a former U.S. Army colonel, who said she left the military in protest of the Iraq war.
“We are representing the 99 percent, the people in the United States who believe violence is not a way to protect the world,” Wright shouted into a megaphone. “In the past 10 years, NATO has killed thousands of Afghans in the U.S.-sponsored war in Afghanistan.”
“As Afghans, we are in contact with people in Afghanistan, and they do not want this war. They have had enough,” said Samira Sayed-Rahman, a member of Afghans for Peace. “Thousands upon thousands of Afghans have been slaughtered in a war that is not benefitting the United States at all.”
After the march had ended outside of the German consulate, the protesters gathered for a group photo before listening to an impromptu speech from Tobias Pflueger, a former member of the European parliament from Germany.
“I am happy you are here demonstrating against the war organization NATO,” Pflueger said. “When NATO does wars they kill people and they also kill democracies. We will not allow NATO to kill democracy.”
Pflueger then used a megaphone as he translated a speech from Inge Hoger, a member of the German parliament who first greeted protesters in English by shouting, “I say no to NATO and no to war all over the world!”
“The money that is being spent on this occupation in Afghanistan should be spent on a peaceful solution in Afghanistan,” Pflueger said, translating for Hoger. “Because NATO is a war organization, Germany should pull out of NATO, and NATO should be disbanded.”
Medea Benjamin, a founder of Code Pink, said that she believes in “civil disobedience arrests” such as the eight that took place earlier this week with a Catholic protest group at the Obama headquarters, but said it was her group’s intent Thursday not to engage police.
“We really wanted it to be peaceful, because we wanted to represent what we want in the world, which is non-violence and peace,” Benjamin said. “We didn’t want any confrontations. The police have been great.”
