Testimony :: Hon. Benjamin L. Cardin
Co-Chairman - Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe
Statement of Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin
Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe
Belarus -- The Ongoing Crackdown and Forces for Change
November 15, 2011
Thank you, Chairman Smith, for convening this important hearing. The difficult situation in Belarus merits our ongoing attention as the post-December 19, 2010 election crackdown continues to this day. The very modest hopes engendered prior to that election were crushed as the world witnessed singularly brutal repressive acts from the Lukashenka regime – a regime with the unfortunate distinction of being the worst human rights violator in Europe.
Clearly, throughout his 17-year rule, the Lukashenka regime has repeatedly violated its OSCE human rights and democracy commitments, but this nearly year-long crackdown has been especially egregious. The international community has properly reacted, including the OSCE. Earlier this year, the United States together with 13 other countries invoked the Moscow Mechanism concerning Belarus, an extraordinary, rare measure last used with Turkmenistan in 2003, reflecting the gravity of the post-election crackdown. Despite Belarusian attempts to undermine the Mechanism's implementation, a comprehensive report was issued in June documenting Belarus' non-compliance in many areas of the human dimension and containing numerous recommendations, which the Belarusian authorities have chosen not to act upon.
In June 2009, I led a seven-member Congressional delegation to Minsk where we met with Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenka and made it clear to him that the only way to improve the relationship between our two countries is for him to increase political freedom and respect for human rights. Unfortunately, this is something that he has been either incapable or unwilling to do, thereby isolating Belarus. Along with our EU partners, we have taken various targeted measures against those involved in human rights violations and the suppression of democracy, sending the message that the contempt Lukashenka exhibits for international standards and, indeed, for the people of Belarus, will not be countenanced.
The economic situation in Belarus is dire, and the Belarusian people – already denied their rights – are now suffering as a result of Lukashenka's long-time mismanagement of the economy. This has spurned growing disaffection among the populace, and Lukashenka's popularity is at an all-time low. Lukashenka needs to make a choice – either to begin to live up to OSCE commitments and move in the direction of democracy and a functioning, market economy, or face a very uncertain future. The Belarusian people deserve to share in the democracy, freedom and prosperity enjoyed by most of Europe, to which, after all, they belong.

(Washington) - The United States Helsinki Commission will conduct a hearing on the latest developments in the conflict in Chechnya as President George W. Bush prepares for his first summit meeting in Russia later this month.
The Embassy of the Russian Federation has been invited to provide testimony at the hearing.
Since renewal of the Chechen war in late 1999, the conflict has been characterized by brutality and violations of human rights on both sides, especially on the part of the Russian military with its greater firepower. Hundreds of Chechens, especially males of military age, have been killed or have disappeared as a result of Russian military "sweeps." An estimated 150,0000 – 200,000 civilians have been forced to relocate to neighboring refugee camps.
Moscow contends that the war in Chechnya is an integral part of the war against international terrorism, and the U.S. Government has confirmed links between some insurgents in Chechnya and "various terrorist organizations and mujahidin." The U.S. Government has called upon Chechnya's leadership to "immediately and unconditionally cut all contacts with international terrorist groups," while calling for "accountability for [human rights] violations on all sides" and a political solution to the conflict.
An un-official transcript will be available on the Internet at http://www.csce.gov 24 hours after the hearing.
The United States Helsinki Commission, an independent federal agency, by law monitors and encourages progress in implementing provisions of the Helsinki Accords. The Commission, created in 1976, is composed of nine Senators, nine Representatives and one official each from the Departments of State, Defense and Commerce.

Today, wineries and farmers are returning to biodynamic farming which times key planting and harvesting activities to the phases of the moon and cosmological cycles.

Rumors abound about a Full Moon Party at the Surfside Shack in Apple Bay, featuring as its star Mr. Bomba himself, the grand chef of the infamous Midnight Tea. The composition of this strange brew? Visitors are warned! What is known is that the brew contains rum (lots of it) and local fruit juices, and that it bubbles away in a cauldron across the road from the Shack itself, a ramshackle aggregate of aluminium sidings, planks, graffitied plywood and other bits of construction material. A blissful haze of rum and fruit juice, dancing feet on sand, lapping waves and sweet soothing reggae rhythms promise to sweep you away into the tropical night, carrying you through until the sun rises over the waves...Need we say more? Bomba's Surf Shack, located on Tortola (Bristish Virgin Islands) holds this monthly extravaganza on Full Moon nights.

WASHINGTON—On Monday, December 19, Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (U.S. Helsinki Commission) Chairman Rep. Chris Smith (NJ-04) took to the floor of the House of Representatives to call for support of his "Belarus Democracy and Human Rights Act of 2011," expected to be brought to the floor Tuesday for a final vote.
"I thank the distinguished chairwoman for yielding and join her first in mourning the passing of Vaclav Havel, the great President and human rights crusader, one of the founders of Charter 77, a magnificent human rights manifesto, that took the Helsinki final act and turned it into a very durable and tangible program of action for the people of Czechoslovakia. Charter 77 has been replicated all over the world… ."

The Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, also known as the U.S. Helsinki Commission, is an independent agency of the Federal Government charged with monitoring compliance with the Helsinki Accords and advancing comprehensive security through promotion of human rights, democracy, and economic, environmental and military cooperation in 56 countries.

The natural world holds the key to resolving many of our key skin care concerns, including skin aging, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Plant extracts, botanical oils, and marine algae contain nutrients that are required to rejuvenate and replenish all types of skin, from dry to oily, sensitive to combination. The Erno Laszlo Blue Firmarine range contains Spirulina Maxima, marine algae that can deliver 70 minerals and antioxidants direct to the epidermis. Working at a micro level, this potent range of skin care products works with the body's own rejuvenation processes to tighten, firm, hydrate, and protect the skin. From cleanser through serums and moisturizers to night treatments, Erno Laszlo Blue Firmarine offers a full beauty regimen. Because these products are designed to complement one another, they deliver a cumulative benefit when used together.
Although Erno Laszlo has been a favorite skin care brand of celebrities across the decades it has never rested on its laurels. Diligent ongoing research resulted in the introduction of the revolutionary Erno Laszlo Blue Firmarine range in 2009. Since then, its popularity has grown rapidly due to its reputation for delivering measurable results.
In order to ensure that your skin remains in optimal condition, you need to cleanse, treat, and moisturize it every day. Erno Laszlo Blue Firmarine delivers essential nutrients and antioxidants to nourish and protect the skin all day and all night.
No matter your skin type, you can achieve dramatic and immediate results when you apply Erno Laszlo Blue Firmarine Lift Serum . Skin is instantly firmed, smoothed, and hydrated by this lightweight serum. Massage a little of this serum across the face and neck to deliver the firming benefits of Spirulina Maxima, Pullulan, and Algae Extract. Lactic acid exfoliates and detoxifies, while the antioxidant properties of green tea repair and protect the skin.
The iconic Erno Laszlo cleansing bar is now available with the skin rejuvenating properties of Spirulina Maxima. Gently massage the Erno Laszlo Blue Firmarine Treatment Bar over wet skin and rinse to achieve clean, fresh, radiant skin. Collagen production is stimulated, ensuring that skin remains firm and youthful. Vitamins C and E deliver potent antioxidant protection, while shea butter lovingly moisturizes and replenishes the skin.
Daily sun protection is the single most important factor in preserving skin's youthful vitality. Apply Erno Laszlo Blue Firmarine SPF 30 to cleansed skin every morning to nourish and protect it. Skin is soothed and hydrated by glycerin, jojoba seed oil, and sodium hyaluronate. Spirulina Maxima combines with botanical extracts to deliver essential nutrients to the lower layers of the skin. With regular use, skin looks visibly younger and firmer.

No matter what skin type you have (normal, sensitive, dry, oily, or combination), it often becomes necessary to use something more effective and gentler than soap and water to thoroughly cleanse your skin of impurities, excess sebum, and environmental particulates that can harm the skin.

Designed to clarify your complexion while removing excess sebum and impurities from deep within your pores, Sothys Desquacrem has proven to be quite effective in eliminating blackheads. This is a granular free emulsion blended with Wheat Cocoaminoacid, a natural extract that aids in dissolving excess sebum. This is a scented cleansing product.
It's important to cleanse the face and neck area properly to encourage a clear complexion. Formulated for normal to combination skin, Sothys Normalizing Beauty Milk removes skin impurities while restoring the softness of your skin. Infused with grapefruit extract, it offers a thorough cleansing that helps to prepare your skin for makeup application. It's gentle on the skin, so it can be used daily or as needed.
Perfect for everyone, Sothys Morning Cleanser offers a formula that works on every possible skin type. Offering an oil free solution, this beauty care product cleanses more effectively and gently than simple soap and water. Foamy, lightweight, creamy, and oh so soft on the skin!

According to a multitude of beauty and skin care product fanatics, whether it be men or women, they all seem to agree on one thing. That being…they virtually all report that the most important staple within a line is a superior moisturizer that is specifically formulated for their individual needs and indications. It seems they agree that it doesn't get any better than a brand that offers an array of superior moisturizers. Long time, upscale brand, the world renowned Elizabeth Arden is obviously keenly aware of this consumer demand and have developed their quality hydrating and moisturizing category, Elizabeth Arden Moisturizers.
Many fans of the well known upscale brand have developed and formulated moisturizing and hydrating treatments for most every need and indication. Elizabeth Arden Moisturizers specifically concentrate on all skin types typically with an emphasis on anti-aging concerns. They offer a variety of moisturizers which simply offer hydration whether it be for normal, dry or sensitive skin types as well as hydrating creams, lotions and treatments which have multi-tasking target issued ingredients formulated into them.
A superb example of a multi-tasking, target issued and results oriented moisturizer would be Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Plump perfect Ultra Lift and Firm Moisture Cream SPF 30. It's perfect for all types of skin and even the title spells out all of its multi-tasking benefits. It has the highly rated Elizabeth Arden Ceramide technolgy, it plumps, lifts and firms the skin and also protects the delicate facial skin from damaging radiation from the sun with a high sun protection factor of 30.
Another favorite among this highly-rated brand is a night time moisturizer or as many skincare experts and clientele would refer to as their night cream. Elizabeth Arden Good Night's Sleep Restoring Cream is a calming and extremely hydrating and moisturizing treatment that is applied at bedtime and works while you sleep.
Ceramides have been reported as the significant key to the success of Elizabeth Arden treatments, moisturizers and skin care. Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Time Complex Moisture Cream is another popular choice among those seeking a more youthful and glowing complexion no matter their skin type as it is a good choice for anyone with most any type of skin.

Additional Information
About AlidéAlidé is a Beninese NGO that works to reduce poverty by offering sustainable access to productive loans like this one in addition to savings, training sessions, and social work to low-income families.
Supporters of this loan should be aware that there is some risk of being repaid late. Because the Beninois Ministry of Finance has imposed restrictions on the amount of money Alidé can send to Kiva, the organization can only send monthly repayments in installments smaller than $13,000. This means that some Kiva lenders may receive their repayments late. However, Alidé remains a healthy institution in good standing with its creditors, and Kiva would like to continue working to support its clients. For more information, please refer to Alidé's partner profile page.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

By Alex Johnson, Policy Advisor and Lale Mamaux, Communications Director
United States Representative Alcee L. Hastings (D-FL), Chairman of the United States Helsinki Commission and Special Representative on Mediterranean Affairs for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe Parliamentary Assembly (OSCE PA), recently concluded a visit to all OSCE Mediterranean Partner States, with the exception of Jordan. Hastings traveled to Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt and Israel, where he met with parliamentarians and senior government officials to discuss greater OSCE engagement by the Mediterranean Partners, reinvigoration of the Barcelona Process through the new Union for the Mediterranean, the Middle East peace process, resolution of the disputed Western Sahara, enhanced economic cooperation throughout the Maghreb, and the Iraqi refugee humanitarian crisis. Chairman Hastings met with Jordanian officials in Egypt and expressed his intention to visit Jordan to complete his tour of the region in 2009. Hastings concluded his trip in Lisbon, Portugal where he briefed OSCE PA President João Soares on the outcome of his meetings and gave his recommendations on how to foster greater engagement by the Mediterranean Partners within the OSCE PA.
Mediterranean Partner Status in the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly
In meetings with parliamentarians and government officials, Hastings expressed his vision for increasing opportunities for Mediterranean Partner States to engage in OSCE activities. Chairman Hastings shared his dissatisfaction with current limitations on participation which do not optimize the potential contributions from Mediterranean Partners. He insisted that participants from Mediterranean Partners have tremendous experience in the realm of security cooperation and other endeavors that would greatly benefit ongoing conflicts currently in deliberation throughout OSCE forums.
To address these concerns, Chairman Hastings plans to hold a meeting of the Mediterranean Partners in Washington in the coming year. This working meeting held under the auspices of the U.S. Helsinki Commission will establish a framework to direct the Parliamentary Assembly, as well as other institutions of the OSCE, on how to improve relations with the partner States. In particular, Chairman Hastings intends to bring together parliamentarians and experts of the Mediterranean Partners in an effort to collaborate not only on regional challenges, but to promulgate their contribution to the Helsinki Process in other spheres. In particular, Chairman Hastings committed to engaging parliamentarians from the Mediterranean Partners in the development of the agenda for the working meeting. Chairman Hastings noted, "I hope that this meeting will help foster greater engagement by the Mediterranean Partners and the Parliamentary Assembly. It is imperative that we move forward together and work to seek clarity and understanding on the vexing problems we face on the global stage. As I shared with President Soares, I remain committed to working with the Mediterranean Partners in order to increase dialogue and enhance our already strong cooperation."
Union for the Mediterranean
Following the July 13-16, 2008 Paris Summit on the Barcelona Process of the European Union (EU), the establishment of the Union for the Mediterranean proposed by French President Nicolas Sarkozy has generated an opportunity for regional empowerment. This initiative has reinvigorated the Barcelona Process with the goals of increasing political mobilization at the highest level through summits; promoting shared and equal governance; and to prioritizing regional projects to increase solidarity. Given the parallel aims of these EU goals and OSCE initiatives, the Union for the Mediterranean was a recurring discussion topic throughout the trip.
In each meeting, Chairman Hastings engaged parliamentarians and government officials about the potential of the Union for the Mediterranean and how it might best interface with OSCE initiatives. Particularly discussed was the potential for cooperation on regional projects with regard to economic empowerment, countering environmental degradation, and water resource development. Specific priorities for projects highlighted by parliamentarians and government officials included depollution of the Mediterranean Sea, desalinization for potable water, and alternative energy development. Other interlocuters also observed that the Union for the Mediterranean should not divide Africa, but should cooperate with similar regional cooperation mechanisms of Africa in addition to the institutions of the European Union and OSCE. Chairman Hastings asserted in his meetings, "The dimensions of the OSCE can be a great compliment to the Union for the Mediterranean, if we are cognizant of the capacity of the Helsinki Process to further dialogue in the Mediterranean."
Western Sahara
Chairman Hastings discussed the ongoing dispute of the Western Sahara with officials of all governments throughout the Maghreb. Decades of tension between Algeria and Morocco over self-determination or territorial integrity for the Western Sahara have long been one of the greatest barriers to the unification of the Maghreb. Currently, the border between Algeria and Morocco remains one of the few closed land borders in the world due to ongoing disagreements aggravated by uncertainty in Western Sahara. Parliamentarians and other government officials shared their genuine interest in resolving the dispute to better facilitate North African economic integration. Government officials conveyed to Chairman Hastings their determination to not let other issues on the world stage distract engaged parties from negotiating a resolution to the status of Western Sahara. Chairman Hastings offered that the OSCE may be an optimal forum to resolve the dispute and in doing so would be a tremendous example for some of the unresolved conflicts throughout the OSCE region.
Middle East Peace Process and Conflict Resolution
In his meetings, Chairman Hastings raised the issue of the Middle East peace process and examined the prospects of a comprehensive solution becoming a reality.
The Annapolis Summit that President Bush convened in November 2007 helped to launch a new round of peace negotiations. The summit brought together over 50 countries to discuss international support for the peace process, institutional reform, and capacity building; a comprehensive peace to include Israel-Syria and Israel-Lebanon; and advancing normal relations and security between Israel and the Arab states. The Annapolis summit and a recently passed resolution by the United Nations Security Council, which charts a course of bilateral negotiations, has helped to reinvigorate the process. However, in light of the current barrage of attacks against Israel by Hamas – a known terrorist organization, peace negotiations have been placed on hold.
Chairman Hastings noted during his meetings that, "the peace process faces immense challenges and that until Hamas abides by a sustainable ceasefire agreement, Israel must do everything in its power to defend itself." He further stated, "the United States must remain committed to bringing about a more stable and peaceful Middle East. If a comprehensive peace agreement can be realized, it will help to solve many of the difficult problems in the region." Hastings made a commitment to remain engaged in the process and to work with the Obama Administration on finding a lasting peaceful solution.
Iraqi Refugees
In Egypt, Chairman Hastings met with a representative of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) regarding the Iraqi refugee crisis. It is estimated that more than 4.7 million Iraqis are displaced within their own country and in neighboring states such as Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Turkey and Lebanon. This is the largest displacement of individuals in the Middle East since 1948. UNHCR estimates that approximately 20,000 Iraqi refugees reside in Egypt and that over 10,000 Iraqis have registered with them. (Note: Population figures by other organizations operating on the ground estimate that the number of Iraqis is greater than 20,000).
The Egyptian government has placed many restrictions on Iraqis and other refugees on access to employment, education and health care. For those Iraqis who arrived in Egypt with some resources, they have since depleted their savings and their socio-economic conditions continue to worsen daily. This deepening crisis threatens to further destabilize the entire region. In Congress, Chairman Hastings introduced the Iraqi Refugee and Internally Displaced Persons Humanitarian Assistance, Resettlement, and Security Act (H.R. 6496), comprehensive legislation that addresses this worsening situation. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton has introduced this bill in the Senate. This legislation will be reintroduced when the 111th Congress commences.
Throughout his entire tour of the Mediterranean Partners, Chairman Hastings echoed, "the United States has a moral obligation to take the lead and provide a 'humanitarian surge' in responding to this crisis. The future of the Middle East depends on it."
U.S.-Mediterranean Partner Bilateral Relations
Many countries throughout the Maghreb and Mediterranean Partner States have long been partners in security cooperation and trade with the United States. Morocco and other countries in the region were among the first to recognize the sovereignty of the United States of America and have long sought to prioritize bilateral relations. Thus, each destination of the tour had a keen interest in the outcome of the 2008 presidential election in the U.S. Given the timing of his visit, Chairman Hastings was the first Member of Congress to visit each of these States following the November 4, 2008 election.
Chairman Hastings received a number of recommendations to convey to the new Obama Administration. The paramount recommendation was prioritizing personal and high-level visits to the Mediterranean Partners early in the new presidency. Many leaders of the Mediterranean Partners resented the neglect that they had received from the Administration of President George W. Bush. The neglect was further punctuated by only a brief visit to the Maghreb by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in the closing days of the current Administration. Many leaders felt that the history of cooperation with the United States would have led to a higher priority for collaboration on regional concerns. Leaders from each of the Mediterranean Partners expressed resounding optimism and higher expectations for cooperation with President-elect Obama.
Future of the OSCE Mediterranean Partners
Chairman Hastings concluded his tour of the Mediterranean Partners with great optimism, which he shared with OSCE PA President João Soares. Strong commitment to continued participation in the OSCE was evident throughout the tour. This strong commitment exceeded the structural limitations of observing partners for cooperation within the OSCE. Chairman Hastings conveyed his interest in further empowering the Mediterranean Partners through procedural adjustments within the OSCE PA. He specifically recommended identifying the necessary adjustments in a working meeting that he plans to host in Washington. President Soares agreed with Chairman Hastings' recommendations and offered support for the proposed working meeting.
Beyond matters of engagement among the current partners, Chairman Hastings also recommended strong consideration in the expansion of the OSCE Mediterranean Partners for Cooperation for regional continuity. The current partner States are engaged in various bilateral relations in the region that could be significantly improved through another opportunity for regional cooperation. Following normalization of regional relations and other reforms, Libya, Syria, Lebanon, and a future Palestinian State were discussed as possible future candidates for participation as Mediterranean Partners of the OSCE. Meetings throughout the tour confirmed significant interest among the Mediterranean Partners for more active engagement with these prospective countries within the framework of the Helsinki Process.
Chairman Hastings also repeatedly illuminated the need to promote further dialogue and engagement with Mauritania. He recommended taking steps to further integrate Mauritania with the rest of the Maghreb to counter humanitarian and security concerns that are exacerbated by Mauritania's omission from key regional dialogue. Chairman Hastings maintained that productive engagement with Mauritania will be fundamental to the security of the Mediterranean Partners and the broader international community.
Another consistent message that Chairman Hastings conveyed throughout all of his meetings was the need for the Mediterranean Partners to encourage robust international election observation efforts and greater commitment by parliamentarians and government officials to observe elections in other countries. Chairman Hastings recommended these efforts as one particular channel to enhance engagement within the OSCE. Chairman Hastings commented during his meetings, "The primacy of openness and transparency of elections on the OSCE agenda make international election observation exchanges a tremendous opportunity to improve international cooperation."
At the conclusion of his tour Chairman Hastings remarked, "The Mediterranean Partners have faithfully engaged the Helsinki Process. A commitment from the OSCE to allow for greater contributions will be essential to shaping the future of this vital regional partnership."

Even skin tone is considered to be the ideal from a beauty standpoint, but skin often becomes more mottled with an uneven skin tone over time. This happens when too much melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color, is produced. This is a source of great frustration, especially when it involves the face. Not surprisingly, some women try to cover it up with make-up, but this isn't a very satisfying solution. Fortunately, there are better ways to deal with this common skin problem.
Anything that triggers overproduction of melanin can cause uneven skin tone. This most commonly comes from overexposure to the sun and female hormonal fluctuations. Another less frequent cause is a condition called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that comes from injury to the skin or scarring due to acne. Less frequently, increased melanin production can be a sign of a medical problem, a nutritional deficiency or a side effect of medications.
Sunlight is the frequent cause since melanin production is the skin's way of protecting itself against damage. People who have spent lots of time in the sun or frequented tanning booths are more likely to have problems with uneven skin tone. Women are also at higher risk during pregnancy and around the time of menopause when hormone levels fluctuate. Birth control pills can also cause pigmentation problems and irregular skin tone.
A high-powered sunscreen is a must for dealing with uneven skin tone. Sunlight stimulates melanin production, which can worsen the problem and make other treatments less effective. The best sunscreen is one that protects against both UVA and UVB light and has an SPF of at least 30. Sunscreen isn't just for outdoors. UVA rays can even penetrate glass, so it's important to wear sun protection daily - even indoors.
Hydroquinone is a chemical that's been used for more than half a century to treat uneven skin tone due to hyperpigmentation. It works by blocking the main enzyme involved in melanin synthesis. It works best when combined with glycolyic acid since the weak acid makes it easier for the hydroquinone to penetrate the skin. Glycolic acid also helps to slough off the outer layer of skin, which helps to remove superficial cells containing melanin.
Another chemical called kojic acid also helps to lighten pigmented areas that cause skin tone to be uneven. It's a natural acid that's a by-product of the fermentation process used to make Japanese sake.
Retinoids like those in prescription strength Retina-A are often used to treat acne and aging skin. Retinoids help to fade pigmented areas, but they work best when used in combination with hydroquinone. Otherwise, it can take 6 to 12 months to see results. Dermatologist can also do a series of facial peels using acids of various strengths to decrease pigmentation over time. Unfortunately, people with darker skin tones can sometimes experience increased skin pigmentation as a result of this treatment.
There are a variety of effective ways to treat uneven skin tone that comes from overproduction of melanin. In many cases, a combination of hydroquinone and glycolic acid will fade darkened areas over time and improve skin texture too.

The sculpted peaks of the Great Smoky Mountains and the wild, twisting Cumberland River … honky-tonks and the Grand Ole Opry … Vanderbilt University … the Tennessee State Capitol … the Tennessee Titans … sure, Nashville is the Music City, but it is also a terrific location for outdoor adventurers. It is both a sports town and a college town. Its roots are firmly planted in the area's history and in country music, yet it reaches for the future as a major metropolitan city with rich culture and a vibrant business climate. Think you know the Music City? You might be surprised! Read more about this dynamic Tennessee capital so you can find the perfect apartment in Nashville.
Things to Do in Nashville:
The very first thing you have to do after renting an apartment in Nashville is head to the historic Ryman Auditorium, the original home of the Grand Ole Opry! The Ryman auditorium was built in 1891 as a tabernacle. It hosted the Grand Ole Opry from 1943 until 1974 and many of country music's biggest names stood on its stage, including Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, the Oak Ridge Boys, Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette, Hank Williams, and Patsy Cline. And while the Grand Ole Opry House, the newer auditorium built in 1974, is now home to the Grand Ole Opry, some shows are still performed at the Ryman. The Ryman also hosts musicians from other genres as well as special performances and live theater.
After you've caught a show (or several) at the Ryman Auditorium and the Grand Ole Opry House, you may be inspired to learn more about Nashville's history. Knowing that Nashville is often called the "Athens of the South," you might want to start by visiting the Parthenon! Nashville's Parthenon is located in Centennial Park. It is a full-scale replica of the ancient Greek Parthenon, complete with the 42-foot statue of Athena. While the replica isn't quite as old as the one in Athens, which dates back to 438 BC, it is historic – Nashville's Parthenon was built in 1897 for the Centennial Exposition and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. While it was only built to last through the exposition, residents liked the Parthenon – and it would have been expensive to tear down, so it was left alone. In the 1920s, the temporary plaster began to wear away, so a permanent replica made of concrete and steel was built.
Step a little further back in time and visit the nearby Belle Meade Plantation. Built in 1807, Belle Meade Plantation was a prosperous horse farm owned by John Harding, who once boarded horses for Andrew Jackson. Harding was world famous for breeding champion Thoroughbreds, and his plantation covered 5,400 acres. In 1864, a Civil War battle took place in front of the mansion, and bullets are still visible in the stone columns. Today, the mansion is a museum and winery. It also contains a carriage house, stable, the Harding cabin, reconstructed slave quarters, and a mausoleum.
The Hermitage was Andrew Jackson's plantation home. Andrew Jackson was the nation's seventh President. He lived at Hermitage from 1804 until he died in 1845. The original mansion, built in 1804, was seriously damaged by a fire in 1834 and the home had to be rebuilt. The mansion is a National Historic Landmark and is open to the public as a house museum. The Hermitage offers tours, exhibits, special events, and an old-fashioned Southern lunch café. Andrew Jackson, his wife Rachel (who died a month after he was elected President), and other family members are buried on the property.
After choosing your new apartment in Nashville, be sure to add the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum to your must-see itinerary. The Country Music Hall of Fame traces the history of country music through a variety of exhibits, including photographs, artifacts, and moving images. It is a gorgeous building, with the windows along the curved façade resembling piano keys.
Other great places to visit include RCA Studio B on Music Row, where Elvis recorded more than 200 songs; the Johnny Cash Museum; and Honky Tonk Highway's amazing locations that include the Stage, Bluegrass Inn, and Second Fiddle. These small clubs are where many famous country musicians began their careers.
Walk along the 5th Avenue of the Arts and enjoy Nashville's amazing collection of art galleries in this historic district. Be sure to stop at the Arts Company, a venue famous for promoting all types of art from emerging to legendary artists. It is located in a historic building and offers more than 6,000 square feet of art to explore. This district is also home to the First Saturday Art Crawl.
The Historic Arcade, built in 1902, is another great location for art lovers. From contemporary to modern and beyond, this art venue has it all. The art galleries located here include the Watkins Arcade Gallery, the coop, the O Gallery, and Blend Studio.
Did you know that the Music City is also a great place for foodies? Nashville has an emerging food scene that varies depending on the neighborhood. Be sure to visit Taylor Swift's favorite coffeehouse, Fido, and then head to Germantown – a gorgeous and historic neighborhood that is a designated arboretum – to explore some amazing cuisine at Germantown Café. Or visit the year-round Nashville Farmers' Market. This unique market contains three sections – the Farm Side, which is home to roughly 100 farmers and artisans; the Market House, which contains restaurants representing different countries around the world; and the Flea Market, where you can find all kinds of unique items.
When you're in the mood to shop, Nashville offers amazing shopping districts, such as the fun and funky shops of East Nashville, the collectables and confections in Germantown, the antiques and handcrafted items in Marathon Village, vintage items in 8th Avenue, and the trendy and slightly bohemian items that fill the shops in Green Hills. You can also visit Tennessee's largest outlet mall, Opry Mills, and the upscale boutiques and high-end stores at the Mall at Green Hills.
What to Consider When Moving to Nashville:
Nashville was founded in 1779 and named for Revolutionary War hero Francis Nash. Because of its location along the river, the town grew quickly. In 1806, Nashville became the county seat of Davidson County and in 1843 it was named the state capital.

About MicroKing FinanceMicroKing's loans are guaranteed against institutional default (failure of MicroKing to repay Kiva lenders if the borrower repays MicroKing) by MicroKing's parent company: Kingdom Financial Holdings Limited.
More About MicroKing
This loan is administered by MicroKing Finance, Kiva's first partner in Zimbabwe.
MicroKing's mandate is to provide financial services integrated with advisory services and targeted training to the under-banked but rapidly growing Zimbabwean micro-enterprise sector. The intent is to mobilize the underprivileged as active agents in fighting poverty as well as to accelerate the country's journey back to economic prosperity where Zimbabwe was once known as the "bread basket of Africa."
Zimbabwean micro-enterprises are generally run by women and comprise a multitude of business types. Constraints on local production and manufacturing capacity have led to cross-border trading being the most common type of business.

Storms of epic proportions are a challenge to everyone near or directly affected by them. Those who suffer in these storms look to their government leaders for help and guidance. Elected officials have a different role, which can make or break their careers. Hurricane Sandy was a test to see which politicians were or were not real leaders.
