Los Angeles - Dream factory for dream couples
Blockbuster romcoms like Pretty Woman or Mr. and Mrs. Smith melt the hearts of hopeless romantics all around the world. In fact, we probably owe our idea of romance more to Hollywood than to any other place. Couples visiting the City of Angels together will find an exciting metropolis waiting to be explored, where they can take a peek behind the scenes on set, stroll along wide sandy beaches - and play out their very own Hollywood love story
Dream factory for dream couples
Studio tours:
Visitors flock to Hollywood Boulevard and to the legendary Walk of Fame, where almost 2500 stars honor entertainment industry celebrities and iconic movie characters both past and present. For a better insight into the workings of the dream factory, take a trip out to Burbank, a suburb of L.A., and visit one of the big studios there; Warner Bros. Entertainment offers perhaps the best studio tour, and with a little luck, you may be able to lay your hands on tickets there - or at one of the other studios - to see the live recording of one of the famous comedy or late-night shows.
Warner Bros. Entertainment: 3400 Riverside Drive, Burbank, +1/877-492-8687. Opening times: Mon-Fri, the first tour starts at 8:20am, the last at 4pm. Admission: US$ 49 for the 145-minute VIP tour.
Established as a town in its own right in 1905, Venice was incorporated into the growing metropolis of Los Angeles just 20 years later, despite vehement resistance from some of its citizens. The name and the idea of building a network of canals there were "borrowed" from a certain romantic city on a lagoon in Italy, but most of the town's miles of waterways were drained in 1929 and turned into roads, while the rest fell into increasing disrepair. Not until the early 1990s were the canals and the footpaths along their banks restored. Today, the Venice Canal Historic District is again one of the area's loveliest attractions.
Venice Beach Boardwalk:
The boardwalk in Venice makes the beach promenade there one of L.A.'s most famous, thanks also to the street artists, painters, musicians and fortune tellers who entertain locals and tourists alike. Amateur athletes also love the area, where lots of pathways have been created for inline skaters and cyclists, as well as numerous, well-frequented basketball, beach volleyball and tennis courts. On legendary Muscle Beach you can even heft weights beneath the open sky - like ex-governor Arnold Schwarzenegger before you. Best of all, of course, is the beach! A broad stretch of sand between the promenade and the Pacific runs roughly four and a half kilometers northward from here as far as Santa Monica Beach.
California Dreaming:
You bet! The sand, the beaches, the endless ocean! Conditions in Los Angeles are ideal for surfers, kite surfers and other water sport enthusiasts. The beaches are also wonderful for bathers, but don't be deceived by the subtropically warm air; water temperatures in the Pacific lie between 18 degrees Celsius in June and a maximum of 20 degrees in August. Which beach is the best? Find out for yourself! A scenic drive along the Pacific Coast Highway is a very pleasant way to explore Malibu, Santa Monica, Huntington Beach and all of the other main coastal resorts in the region.
If you're dying to behave like a lovesick teenager again, then Disneyland is the place for you! The theme park, located in Anaheim, 60 kilometers south of L.A., is not just populated by a host of cartoon characters but also offers all the thrills and spills of a regular fairground. Some of the attractions are based on big movie or TV hits (like Pirates of the Caribbean, Finding Nemo and Twilight Zone, for instance). With a handful of first-rate hotels (some boasting excellent pools and spas) and several restaurants on site, the Magic Kingdom makes an enchanting place to stay for more than just a day.
Disneyland: 1313 S. Disneyland Drive , Anaheim, +1/714-781-4565. Opening times: vary daily, core opening times10am-8pm. Admission: day pass US$ 80, children (ages 3-9) US$ 74. http://disneyland.disney.go.com/
Las Vegas:
You landed in L.A. without a ring on your finger but plan to head home as newlyweds? No problem: Las Vegas, the glittering city of shows and gambling, is just around the corner by US standards. Take a plane and you can be there in around an hour, but if you have time to spare, rent a car and take the famous interstate Highway 15 right through the Mojave Desert for a genuine road-movie feeling. After 450 kilometers and (normally) four hours on the road, simply head for a chapel. Elvis, Starship Enterprise or maybe a pirate wedding? The choice is yours.

The Newark and Seaford Women, Infants and Children (WIC) offices will close January 7-11, 2013 while a new data system is installed.
The system, called Delaware WOW (WICE on the Web) will allow employees to better serve participants in the program. But it means the Hudson State Service Center (Newark) and the Shipley State Service Center (Seaford) won't be able to provide services. WIC peer counselors are conducting special outreach to participants with expected delivery dates during this time to assist them through the system transition. All other WIC sites in Delaware will remain open.
The offices will re-open on January 14 for regular business hours. For more information about the temporary closings, call (800) 222-2189 or visit www.delaware.gov and enter "WIC" in the search field.

Scharffen Berger is one of the few, if not the first, American chocolate company to work from "bean to bar". What does that mean you may ask? To put it simply, it means that the company oversees the whole chocolate production: from sourcing the beans to the molding and wrapping the final bar. This level of control allows the chocolate makers to assure that the chocolate is made to their level of taste and satisfaction. The results are usually a fantastic bar of chocolate.
I've known of Scharffen Berger for a long time as I'd often seen it in gourmet stores and the shelves of my local Whole Foods. I always considered them too easily available for me to make an impromptu buy, but I'd knew it'd happen someday when I felt like trying something new (which is all the time, but you know what I mean). I saw this little tasting kit and I knew this would be a perfect way to try out Scarffen Berger's selection, so into my cart it went.
41% Milk: It has a nice color and the aroma is extremely decadent: sweet with notes of cream, caramel and vanilla. It reminds me of ice cream. The flavor is lovely; chocolatey and creamy with neither flavor dominating over the other. Between the two big players there, there's hints of the caramel and vanilla to give it that extra sweetness and depth. The mouth feel is extremely silky too, very luxurious. One of the better milk chocolates I've had to date.
70% Bittersweet: I love bittersweet, so this will be interesting. It has a strong medium brown color which is a little on the darker side. Smells of cocoa, coffee, and wood. The flavor is very earthy at first, with notes of vegetables, wood and fungi. Then a caramel like sweetness blossoms and mellows the flavor a little until the finish when the earthy notes return. It's very reminiscent of the jungle where the cacao comes from.
82% Extra Dark: Sharp, dark color with reddish undertones. Smells very bright and fruity with subte notes of cherries and coffee. It's a lovely aroma, which is also surprisingly pretty sweet smelling. The snap is really hard: loud and clean showing the good tempering of the chocolate. The flavor is very complex. It starts off with light cocoa flavors, then toward the middle bright sour notes of cherries and green coffee burst forward. Those flavors linger and a dry finish comes from under them and washes it all away in a cocoa like aftertaste. Beginners might be put off toward the bitterness, but I found the notes nicely controlled and flavorful. I enjoyed it.
This is nice to try so I could get an idea of what the range of the chocolate coming from Scharffen Berger. It's a good step for beginners as it gives the opportunity taste the differences between the different cacao percentages. I liked how I know what to expect from them in the "mix in" bars and in their future products. A good chocolate that's worth returning to every so often.

Third Party Coverage Homeowners Insurance
Homeowners in Chadds Ford have shown an interest in a type of homeowners insurance that includes 'third party coverage'. Third party coverage basically protects you, the homeowner, against claims made by a third party. Often called liability coverage, it will typically include bodily injury coverage, property damage, and medical payments to cover any injury to others not living in the house. Essentially, the costs are covered, up to the policy maximums, for these types of claims against your Chadds Ford home insurance policy.
Many Mortgage Lenders Require Home Insurance in Chadds Ford
If you're like most American homeowners, then you are making monthly mortgage payments to a bank, mortgage company, or other similar lender. If this is your situation, then carrying homeowners insurance is not an option. By its very nature, insurance covers the unexpected. We hope we never have to use it, but when we do we're glad we have it. Your mortgage lender is no different. Should your house burn to the ground, your lender has to know their investment in your house is protected. Without Chadds Ford homeowners insurance, you could be on the hook to your mortgage company for the full value of your house, with no way of recouping those costs if you don't carry home insurance in Chadds Ford.
Having Adequate Chadds Ford Home Insurance Coverage is Crucial
Home Insurance Quotes make it easy to ensure you have enough coverage. Most homeowners in Chadds Ford, PA take their responsibility to carry homeowners insurance very seriously. There are few worse feelings in the world than watching your house burn to the ground, all the while knowing you're not insured. You may as well throw all your cash into a pile and set it on fire. One of the worst mistakes you can make is to convince yourself that you're paying for nothing, or paying too much, or begrudgingly paying for the least amount of insurance as is legally permitted. In trying economic times, most people have very little margin for error. No home insurance in Chadds Ford, or not enough insurance coverage, can spell disaster for you and your family.

Bright new Chinatown
Things almost turned out differently. In the eighties, Singapore was virtually exploding with ambition, and threatened to tear down and rebuild every last street in Chinatown, including the traditional shophouses. Shortly before they were leveled, the government, luckily, changed its mind. The neighborhood was made into a national landmark and millions were invested in the preservation of the shophouses, mostly three-story combined commercial and residential buildings typically dating from the 19th century. Today, Chinatown's traditional shophouses glow with pastel colors and are filled with new life - a visual highlight in a trendy neighborhood.

FlashDry™ fabrics feature a microporous particle additive that accelerates the removal of moisture from the skin and speeds evaporative drying. FlashDry™ enables the user to stay drier, more comfortable and out performing longer in a wide range of weather conditions and environments. FlashDry™ doesn't add weight or bulk and never washes or wears out.

Kaoshiung, Taiwan - Greenpeace activists today protest in front of Taiwan's Fisheries Agency (FA) calling for efficient monitoring of Taiwanese-owned vessels, The activists displayed a banner saying "Too much talk, too little action" accompanied by flags of Panama and Vanuatu. The girl in the front holds a Greenpeace report. The protest is to point out that the FA have failed in its job to investigate the illegal ship carrier MV Lung Yuin.

Lu took it to the OKP boards last night for some fun in the "Jay Electronica VS. Lupe Fiasco PT.2" thread. See below...can you say spit hot fire? ouch....
the devils in the dealer, the poltergiest is in the pokerchips,
Game changer, I practice Iron Swan Song, Tiger Palm & Cobra Fist,
Go by many slang name's and sobriquets,
Asking me how many lines is in my mind is like asking how many fish can the ocean fit,
I set out to do the impossible like an open fist,
Achieve the unbelievable like throwing Open Pit,
The last line refers to flying saucers,
A rhyming Chaucer who came from District 9 but now he's flying over it,
Battle Jay Elect? Who has the foolhardy audacity to utter this?
I look at him like a high minded brother from another and when we finally encounter with dual flows overdosed on over-the-counter's its gone be like Mulder meets the Mothership,

Ford F Series Brake Kits
Featured Brake Kits Products
Fortunately, ineffective brakes can be easily replaced with a Ford F Series brake kit. Drivers who have installed superchargers or turbos will want to install a Ford F Series racing brake kit, as a vehicle's stock brakes are no longer enough to slow down a car that can now reach speeds significantly higher than it was designed to go. For other drivers, high-level Ford F Series performance brake kits should more than suffice, providing the traction and timely responses one should expect when pressing his or her car's brake pedal.

Arkansas lawmakers have approved the creation of a task force to study options for establishing a new state veterans home.
The House voted 94-0 on Friday to form a 22-member Arkansas Veterans Home Task Force. That group would be responsible for looking at the cost, funding sources and possible locations for a new veterans home. The facility would replace the veterans home in Little Rock that closed last year.
The House voted earlier this week to authorize the state to create a new veterans home, but lawmakers still need to find a funding source for the facility.
The Senate-approved measure to form the task force now heads to the desk of Gov. Mike Beebe, whose spokesman says he'll sign the bill.

Whether you want to post social updates, email your friends, or check your favorite websites, an Internet connection is key. And, if you have a Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1 PC, you'll need an Internet connection to finish setting it up.
If you have an account with an ISP (Internet Service Provider) like a phone or cable company, you already have Internet access at your home. You can plug your PC into your modem with an Ethernet cable, and then open your web browser to get to the Internet. If you need more help, see Connect to the Internet.
If you want several PCs or devices to share the same connection, or if you want to have a password-protected connection, you can set up a network in your home. Once it's set up, you can select your network from the Settings charm. To learn more, see Add a device or PC to a network.
Another option when you're connecting at home is to create a homegroup, which is perfect if you want to stream music or video from a PC to somewhere else, or share files and devices (such as printers) between PCs. To find out more, see HomeGroup from start to finish.
Lots of public places offer a Wi‑Fi connection, like coffee shops or airports. While you're waiting for your cup of coffee or your flight, you can check your email or browse the web.
If you're in a place where Wi‑Fi isn't available, you can sign up for mobile broadband. A mobile broadband connection is an Internet connection you take with you and can use as long as there's mobile phone service available. You typically buy a SIM card from your phone or cable company and then plug the card into your PC to connect with mobile broadband. To find out more about mobile broadband, see Mobile broadband from start to finish.
Some Internet connections (especially mobile broadband connections) are metered, meaning your plan comes with a maximum amount of data you can transmit per month. With these types of plans, it's a good idea to stay on top of how much data you've used to make sure you don't get billed for going over your plan limits. You can check this by tapping or clicking the network icon in the desktop or through the Settings charm. To find out more, see Metered Internet connections: FAQ.
When you first set up Windows, you might have already connected to a network. If not, you can see a list of available networks and connect to one.
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Settings.(If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, and then click Settings.)
Check the network icon. It'll show if you're connected and how strong the connection is.
Tap or click the name of the network you want to connect to, and then tap or click Connect.
You might be asked for the network password. You can get it from the network admin. If you're at home, this is probably someone in your family. If you're at work, ask your IT admin. If you're in a public place, like a coffee shop, ask someone who works there.
If you want to connect to this network every time it's in range, select the Connect automatically check box.
To learn how to set up a mobile broadband connection, see Mobile broadband from start to finish.
Once you're set up, Windows can keep you connected when you're on the go by automatically switching from a Wi‑Fi connection to mobile broadband. That way, you stay connected even if you're moving from place to place. Or, you can switch automatically from mobile broadband to Wi‑Fi as it becomes available, helping you keep costs lower.
When you're using a metered connection, apps and updates from the Windows Store aren't automatically downloaded. Windows will let you know so you can control your data use (and cost).
When you're on an airplane, all electronic devices have to be powered down completely for takeoff and landing. But once you're safely in the air, you can put your PC in airplane mode and then use it to watch movies you've downloaded, play games, or work on a presentation. Airplane mode suspends any signal transmissions from your PC to comply with airline regulations.
Turn on Airplane mode when you're on an airplane and turn it off after landing at your destination.
To find out more about airplane mode, see What's airplane mode?
When you're away from home and using a public network, like in a coffee shop or airport, there are some steps you can take to help keep your PC and data safe.
The first time you connect to a public network, you'll be asked if you want to find devices and content on that network. Say no so that other people can't see your PC while you're connected to this network. If you accidentally say yes, don't worry. Here's how to change the setting.
Tap or click Network, tap or click Connections, and then tap or click the name of the network.
Turn off Find devices and content. You'll still be able to go online, but other people using that public network won't be able to get to your data.

The Milford Housing Development Corporation recently received a 2013 Energy Star Award for Excellence from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Energy Star Awards recognize organizations for their contribution to construction of energy-efficient homes. Winners are selected from the 20,000 organizations that participate in the Energy Star program.
In 2012, 26 Energy Star-certified homeownership units were developed through MHDC's Self-Help Housing Program for low-income households.
"Through their excellent leadership and effort in the marketplace, partners like MHDC are ensuring that all Americans can reap the benefits of owning Energy Star homes," said Bob Perciasepe, the EPA's acting administrator.
MHDC will be receive its award at a ceremony in Washington D.C. on March 26.
The 36-year-old nonprofit, which has been an Energy Star partner since 2007, previously received regional awards in 2009 and 2010, and a national award in 2012.

Additional Document:
Turkey is looking forward to the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) to be held in Rio de Janeiro on 4-6 June 2012. Turkey believes that the Conference will be a milestone in the global development endeavor.
A new political commitment by the international community for sustainable development is a necessity. Thus, the Rio+20 Conference will be an opportune event to renew global engagement to sustainable development, assess the progress made since the Earth Summit in 1992, identify remaining gaps and new global challenges and pave the way for achieving progress on general and specific areas covered under the concept of sustainable development.
The three pillars of sustainable development, namely economic, social and environmental dimensions, are equally important and complement each other. People must be at the center of sustainable development and have an equal opportunity in economic growth process. It is all the more important to achieve sustainable development in an equitable and inclusive manner.
Today, our planet is under severe strain. Depletion of natural resources, loss of biodiversity and impact of climate change limiting the absorption capacity of the earth. In this vein, it is our shared responsibility to achieve sustained economic growth and sustainable development without threatening the planetary boundaries.
Since the Earth Summit, there has been a growing realization that sustainable development must receive a higher priority in the years ahead. However, more needs to be done as the progress to date is lower than expected and uneven among regions and countries.
Over the past years, global imbalances steadily increased and negatively affected all countries. The financial and economic crisis as well as high and volatile energy and food prices, in other words energy and food crises, reversed some development gains and exacerbated poverty and hunger. Sustainable development needs to be pursued in accordance with the principles contained in the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development. The right to development must be fulfilled so as to equitably meet developmental and environmental needs of present and future generations. All stakeholders should cooperate in a spirit of global partnership to address global economic, social and environmental challenges.
Democracy and good governance are essential means of sustainable development. It requires effective planning at all levels, enhanced participation in decision making and partnerships including socially responsible and innovative private sector and the civil society, including NGOs.
The Rio+20 Conference should concentrate on strengthening the linkages between the three dimensions of sustainable development. It must give a new impetus to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by and beyond 2015 and other internationally agreed goals in the context of major UN conferences, in particular Agenda 21, Johannesburg Plan of Implementation and Istanbul Programme of Action for the Least Developed Countries.
The Rio+20 Conference should elaborate on the state of play concerning the realization of the principles contained in the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development and Agenda 21. Implementation of the multi-lateral environmental Conventions as well as the outcomes of major international Summits can also taken stock during the Conference. Outcome Document
The outcome document of the Conference should reflect a carefully constructed balance between demands and interests. It needs to be a strategic, concise and focused document targeting the year 2030.
Sustainable Development Goals and Indicators
It is important to reach an agreement at the Rio+20 Conference which incorporates concrete targets and goes beyond ?efforts to adopt best practices?. In this regard, drawing on our experience with the MDGs, the outcome document could outline mutually agreed specific ?Sustainable Development Goals? (SDGs) which would determine specific objectives and concrete actions to be taken by all UN Member States. The SDGs can be defined in the framework of:
? Securing firm political commitment to sustainable development;
? Establishing a sustainable balance among socio-economic growth, use of natural resources and conservation of ecosystems;
? Pursuing a differentiated approach among countries;
? Guiding strategies, policies and programmes for the implementation with a view to achieving concrete and substantive results at all levels;
? Monitoring by the UN system and at national level;
? Revising SDGs if necessary. In this context, indicators to measure economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development complementing GDP can be revised, strengthened and utilized in conjunction with the SGDs.
Green Economy
Green economy has a potential to promote long-term economic growth, create decent jobs and alleviate poverty. But, first and foremost, a common understanding and shared vision on green economy is needed within the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication. Shifting to sustainable consumption and production patterns, low carbon strategies, effective resource and material management and efficient investments are the main elements of green economy. It is an integrated long-term process and requires comprehensive transformation in many sectors. Governments, private sector and industry, civil society and universities should work together in this process.
Each country can experience such a transformation in a certain period according to its priorities and specific circumstances. States might create their own developmental models under the concept of green economy.
For developing countries, the transformation needs to be based on large scale impact analyses, in particular on macro-economy, industry and technology. The use of new technologies and shifting sustainable production patterns stemming from green growth require more investments in research and innovation by the public and private sectors.
The Rio+20 Conference might produce as an operational outcome a green economy roadmap taking into account common but differentiated responsibilities and the respective capabilities of countries. It can cover specific objectives and actions such as SDGs in a balanced and realistic manner.
There should be special arrangements to provide developing countries with international assistance in order to handle such transformation. Specific support mechanisms to facilitate their access to technology and finance and, for capacity building need to be established in this regard.
The main focus areas of the green economy are water/energy/food security nexus, agriculture, soil and land use, rural development, power generation, in particular renewables and sustainable energy for all, climate change, marine resources, oceans and fisheries, biodiversity and ecosystem services, halt and reversal of deforestation and forest degradation, dry lands, pollution prevention and control, chemicals, waste management and recycling, disaster risk reduction and post-disaster recovery.
In the light of growing world population, urbanization, cities and mega-cities deserve particular attention.
Green growth must also take into account social aspects. People should be able to benefit from the wealth created through economic development.
Institutional Framework
One of the main hurdles for sustainable development stems from the ineffective and insufficient institutional arrangements. The Rio +20 Conference would be a suitable platform to discuss the current global institutional framework to address the implementation gap.
Then, multi-level governance is essential for achieving sustainability goals at national, regional and global levels. To that end, a multi-faceted approach should be embraced. There may be a supranational body overlooking the general governance structure. In this context, ?Sustainable Development Council? can be established to foster the integration of economic, social and environmental considerations into the sustainable development.
In view of the fact that institutional coherence begins at the national level, strong sustainable development programs should be implemented by national governments in a holistic way, by mobilizing synergies of different national institutions in a coordinated manner. Following integrated and cross-sectoral approaches is a must for good governance at national level.
Regionally coordinated action enhances partnerships, supports efficient decision making processes and achievement of sustainable development. Regional level is the most suitable platform in identifying and analyzing the success stories and policies that have worked.
With this view, regional cooperation and South-South cooperation are of utmost importance for filling the implementation gap. Transfer of Southern solutions, as well as exchange of good practices and lessons learned through regional hubs can pave the way for effective implementation and new partnerships.
Globally, we need to benefit from the existing structure of the UN. The role of the UN General Assembly, ECOSOC, CSD and Regional Economic Commissions should be strengthened in sustainable development process. Good coordination and cooperation at the UN and among relevant UN organizations is a sine qua non for effective implementation. Relevant specialized entities of the UN such as UNDP, UNEP, UNCTAD, UN-DESA should take more responsibility and action. Upgrading the UNEP into a Specialized Agency for the Environment would be considered to improve coordination in particular for the implementation of more than a hundred multi-lateral agreements on the environment.
Furthermore, international financial institutions should be involved in the global governance structure in a coherent manner and support more actively and with increased resourced the sustainable development endeavor.
Means of Implementation and Partnerships
Solidarity, cooperation and partnerships at all levels are the prerequisites of sustainable development. Partnership includes governments, the UN system, international financial organizations, civil society, private sector and academia.
The means of implementation require enacting appropriate national legislation in harmony with international instruments and its enforcement for all countries. The Parliaments have a central role to play in this regard and have more to say in policy framework.
The international community should demonstrate its solidarity with the poorest and most vulnerable populations. In this regard, the Least Developed Countries and the Small Island Developing States deserve particular attention and well-targeted support measures to eradicate poverty, accelerate economic growth and sustainable development.
Sustainable development necessitates effective use of existing resources, additional financial resources, fulfillment of official development assistance commitments, pursuit of development-oriented solutions to the debt problems of developing countries and addressing the issue of technology transfer. Establishment of ?Global Green Development Fund? and ?Green Technology and Innovation Mechanism? can be considered in this context. Furthermore, innovative financial mechanisms and specific tax incentives can be implemented to support the efforts towards sustainable development.
As people must be at the center of the endeavor to move toward sustainability, education and skill generation is an important tool to enhance human capacity for sustainable development. Youth provide energy and dynamism for change. Young populations, in particular girls, must be provided better education to join the workforce. There is a need for further emphasis on the cooperation among governments, private sector, universities and vocational training providers to extend educational programmes and address the mismatches between the skills young people possess and skills required by the labor market.
Gender equality and empowerment of women is a must for and equitable and inclusive socio-economic development and achieving the MDGs. Investing in women and girls has a multiplier effect on productivity, efficiency and sustained economic growth. Equal access of women, children, elderly and disabled people to basic services, including education and health, economic opportunities and decision-making has to be ensured for the full participation of all citizens.
Medium and long term strategies and plans contribute substantially to sustainable development. For example, Five Year Development Plans and the National Environment Strategy and Action Plan of Turkey helped achieving many developmental and environmental goals and targets at the national context.
The private sector should be closely involved in this work, within the framework with socially responsible practices and principles. The private sector is in a critical position in mobilizing financial resources and increasing investments. Private capital flows could be the engine for sustainable development in many sectors, in particular renewable energy, manufacturing, agriculture.

Leipzig - The better Berlin
What Berlin promised, Leipzig now delivers: The Saxon metropolis is the new creative capital of Germany. Artists, culture buffs and creative entrepreneurs have moved into the once abandoned Art Nouveau villas and the factory buildings of Plagwitz district. Thanks to the almost spectacularly low rents there, the newcomers can experiment to their heart's content, venture down new creative paths – and produce works even Hollywood star Brad Pitt has been happy to buy.
The better Berlin
New beginning, decline, followed by another new beginning: Leipzig's future lies in Plagwitz. The district was where the industrial heart of the city used to beat. Then after World War Two, the vast factory halls were left to rack and ruin. Since then, many of the buildings – among them, the wonderful Buntgarnwerke – have been restored and today offer ample space for workshops, offices, galleries, as well as loft and other apartments. The best locations in the district are on the green banks of the Karl Heine Canal. Plagwitz may appear amazingly smart at first glance, but take a look behind the restored facades or a stroll through the side-streets and you will soon see that the area still has bags of potential.
Baumwollspinnerei Cotton Mill:
Leipzig's artists are attracting worldwide attention and the art market has even come up with a – controversial – tag, the "New Leipzig School." If this cultural current had a headquarters, it would definitely be the cotton mill in Plagwitz. There, on a site the size of 14 soccer fields, 11 galleries and around 100 artists have settled in, including such famous names as Neo Rauch and Matthias Weischer. Architects, fashion designers and artisans have also discovered for themselves the 20 buildings that make up the mill complex, which also houses a cultural center, a cinema and a café. If you want to spend a night here, there's Pension Meisterzimmer guesthouse right on site.
Leipziger Baumwollspinnerei: Spinnereistraße 7, Tel: +49-(0)341/498 02 00. www.spinnerei.de. Pension Meisterzimmer: Spinnereistraße 7, Tel.: +49-(0)3641/29 56 88. Rooms for 1-6 people. www.meisterzimmer.de
Eigen + Art Gallery:
Leipzig-born Neo Rauch now counts among Germany's best-known contemporary artists. Even Hollywood star Brad Pitt owns one of his pictures. Rauch was discovered by fellow Leipzig native Gerd Harry Lybke, whose gallery, Eigen + Art, like Rauch's workshop, is on the site of the former cotton mill. Lybke is one of the foremost dealers in contemporary German art and also represents an array of famous artists. Their works can be viewed in changing exhibitions at Eigen + Art and also in Berlin, at Lybke's second gallery.
Eigen + Art: Spinnereistraße 7, Tel.: +49-(0)341/960 78 86. Open: Tue-Sat 11-6pm. www.eigen-art.com
Agencies, studios and artists' workshops have also moved into the Westwerk buildings in Plagwitz. This place was once the home of a large ironworks that made valves and apparatus for steam engines, among other things. Today's tenants are as creative as they are different: self-defense instructors for children, vendors of regional produce, party organizers. If exploring Plagwitz from the water sounds like fun, you can even rent a boat at Westwerk – and then paddle up and down the Karl Heine Canal.
Westwerk: Karl-Heine-Straße 93, Tel.: +49-(0)341/926 17 00. www.westwerk-leipzig.de
Schaubühne Lindenfels:
When the curtain was first raised at this theater, in 1994, the actors were weary not just from all the rehearsals but because, with the aid of several willing helpers, they had also just finished restoring the theater building, which dates back to 1876. Because there was no functioning heating system, the audience had to keep themselves warm with hot tea and woolen blankets, but since then, the enthusiasm of everyone involved has transformed the project into one of the liveliest cultural centers in all of Leipzig. In addition to staging plays, readings and concerts, Schaubühne Lindenfels also screens movies and has a café.

Berlin-born artist Yadegar Asisis brings the tropics to life inside a converted gas works, with a 360° panorama of the Brazilian rainforest – a deceptively realistic illusion, orchestrated to even more convincing effect by the concerted voices of thousands of wild creatures. Here, the trees appear to reach as high as the sky, and with a pair of binoculars, visitors can spot caterpillars, parrots and sloths up in their branches. Panometer even simulates tropical electric storms and the changing times of the day. The 106 x 30-meter installation was created in 2009 as a tribute to the famous natural scientist and landscape painter Alexander von Humboldt.
Asisi Panometer Leipzig: Richard-Lehmann-Straße 114, Tel.: +49-(0)341/35 55 34-0. Open: Apr-Oct, Tue-Fri 10am-6pm, Sat+Sun 10am-7pm, Nov-Mar Tue-Fri 10am-5pm, Sat+Sun 10am-6pm. Admission: €10 (reduced, €5-8.50). www.asisi.de/de/Panometer/Amazonien
