Tax Farming: A Radical Solution for Developing Country Tax Problems?
Ineffective tax administration is a chronic problem in many developing countries. A radical solution is tax farming, whereby the right to collect certain taxes is auctioned off to private sector collectors. Proponents argue that it minimizes administrative costs and results in more efficient collection. The purported gains are largely illusory, however. Because the system leads to overzealous collection, a government would have to expend considerable resources on monitoring private tax collectors. If taxpayer abuse is to be avoided, only unambiguous activities could be privatized. The scope for privatizing the core functions of tax administration thus appears limited.

I advise you to update to perl 5.8.0, because I have noticed similar errors between utf and other charset conversions/comparisions functions in perl 5.6.1. Some things just don't seem to work as expected. I'm not an utf or perl expert, but 5.8.0 seems to be more consistent, so if you have to do a lot of utf/charset relevant things...

OK your definition of crazy might differ to mine.. Anyway.. loads of info is thrown around.. most of it from people who've never done the stuff they're preaching..
Hey All, I've recently created a website on my own domain in the last day.
Please point me to the right direction.... I am offering 5 video courses that will teach people exactly on how I make money through eCommerce.. Yes, I know this niche is probably saturated but so does everything else.. I have people hitting me up on Facebook asking me on how I make the money I make with the eCommerce platform... I have training videos that I sell. People buy it from me through paypal, and I send them the videos through email.. Bad decision because I just found out a couple days ago somebody bought my videos, stealing it and selling it to people on the LOW... I want to protect myself, so I decided that I needed to create my own website... I have a plan and it is listed below.. - Create a capture page.. I need the leads to promote and follow up with my subscribers.
Hey! i was doing a campaign but i have this error in the "3# campaigns" from tracking 202 , can u help me pls? http://image.prntscr.com/image/4a991...998127ce2c.png
I was tinkering with a few things: 1) selling direct with a paypal button. That requires the user to click about 3 times at least before they can just enter their credit card info. 1) on your site. 2) to choose either paypal or cc. Then another then maybe another before they can actually order. That's nuts.

Energy Efficient eBook-Reader Runs on Linux
The Hanlin eReader V3 from Tianjin Jinke Electronics out of China claims to provide a month of use between battery charges. By then 10,000 pages of reading should have been possible – provided you have the requisite time and patience.
Thanks to its ePaper electronic ink display, the Hanlin eReader V3 can save on power consumption, according to its producer. Once a page is fully displayed, further power is not needed. An additional benefit is that the text-to-background contrast helps readability in even the poorest light.
Unlike Amazon's Kindle eBook reader, which is also based on electronic ink technology, the Hanlin is not equipped with Internet access. However, this point is moot for non-U.S. users in that Amazon's Kindle is available only in the U.S. due to its dependence on Sprint's EVDO network.
The Hanlin device accepts content over an SD card (up to 4 Gbytes) or via USB 1.1, with text formats including PDF, DOC, MP3, HTML, TXT, CHM, PNG, TIF, GIF, JPG, PPT, EPUB and LIT. It supports numerous languages (with more to come) and weighs 7.5 ounces. Wolf Linux, an apparent Chinese Linux variant, is the operating system and the device runs on a Samsung Arm9 CPU at 200 MHz. Memory consists of a 32 MB SDRAM and an internal 2 MB NOR Flash. The 6-inch display should be easily readable at a resolution of 800x600 pixels. A stereo audio jack is included.
Availability of the source code is still questionable. December of last year, a user on the GPL violations mailing list tried unsuccessfully to obtain certain source code elements.
The Hanlin eBook is unlikely to be on Ebay any time soon, but is available for $361 from the Jinke website, albeit only by bank wire transfer (no credit cards or PayPal). Alternatively, the product is orderable as the "Walkbook" from a vendor out of Istanbul via PayPal.

BJP hits out at Chidambaram
By PTI
Published: 09th October 2013 12:44 AM
Last Updated: 09th October 2013 12:44 AM
BJP on Tuesday hit out at P Chidambaram for his remarks on Narendra Modi dividing the party leadership, saying the Congress leader has a "double chequered" history for his role as Finance Minister and his earlier stint as Home Minister.
BJP spokesperson Meenakshi Lekhi said Chidambaram's acknowledgement in a media interview yesterday that Modi has united the rank and file shows he has accepted the fact that the Gujarat Chief Minister is a "unifying force".
However, the main opposition is miffed at Chidambaram's views in an interview to Reuters that the party leaders are still divided. BJP also maintained that it would be a gross exaggeration to say that Modi will win in every state.
"Jealousy is also a form of appreciation," Lekhi said when asked about Chidambaram's comments.
BJP attacked Chidambaram for the "massive unemployment" in the country and other economic issues as well as for his role as Home Minister, where the main opposition alleged that the affidavit of Ishrat Jahan was changed during his tenure.
"BJP is very concerned about the massive unemployment problem faced by tens of millions of young people in the country today. Over the last nine years, the UPA government has not initiated a single large infrastructure project that could create jobs on the scale required by the 2001 census," Lekhi said.
She claimed while the NDA government had created 60.7 million jobs in six years, the UPA dispensation has managed to give jobs to only 2.7 million people.
"The crisis that the country is going through is a symptom of the bad policies of UPA," Lekhi said.
"Chidambaram has a double chequered history- whether it is changing affidavits as Home Minister, giving colour to terror or the falling Rupee today when he is Finance Minister.
UPA's ruinous policies have created a job emergency in the country," Lekhi said.
BJP alleged Chidambaram's policies have virtually destroyed India?s small and medium sector which was creating 80 per cent of the jobs in the unorganized sector.
"If we match the period within which Rupee value depreciated steeply, it will draw parallels with Chidambaram's appointment as Finance Minister," Lekhi said.
"If he continues as Finance Minister, India will continue to drift into bankruptcy," she added.

My name is Mary Kat and I started this blog in 2011 when I was 16. My number one passion is food. I live for cooking and baking. The majority of foods in a regular grocery store have plastic packaging, which is something that I didn't use to think about much. Then I learned about the environmental problems caused by plastic pollution and felt compelled to do something about it. I tried to reduce the amount of waste that I was producing. It seemed like most of the trash I was generating was from the kitchen, so I started blogging about recipes that used ingredients free of plastic packaging. In the beginning I focused on using ingredients that didn't use plastic packaging but now I aim for using ingredients that don't have packaging of any kind. I'm not able to get there 100%, but I usually get pretty close.

"The paradox is that there has never been so much control of images by governments and corporations- control of images, control of our landscape, of this landscape that affects our lives. What we see is what makes us. What kinds of thoughts do we have, based on this landscape that surrounds us, this landscape that is so much under control?"

Jose El Rey Seeks Valentine's Day Advice
Contrary to popular belief, I am capable of love. Many ladies have loved me, and I love myself as strongly as they did. I know how to show las señoritas a lovely time. I know how to love their bodies, but I can say "I love you" only to myself, and that makes Valentine's Day very challenging for me.
I need outside help. So I sat down with Debbie D., of the now-defunct group Avenue D. We had a long talk about life, love, and, most important, what to do to make a woman feel loved on Valentine's.
José El Rey: So, should I show up to my Valentine's house with an edible gift? Like candies?
Jose El Rey on Valentine's Day
Debbie D: Show up? You should be there when she gets home with a romantic candlelit dinner that you spent all day making.

Oh! Really? But that won't give me enough time to get into my fancy clothes. I need to try on a few dozen outfits that day.
Clothes? You don't need clothes on Valentine's Day. Just elephant undies.
OK. Be naked. I got it. One time, a girl got really mad at me on Valentine's for inviting her dad to eat with us. What was I supposed to do? He was hungry and her dad. She said it was the worst Valentine's Day ever.
That's pretty bad, José! But not as bad as when my boyfriend ditched me to take Ecstasy and go to a rave with the guys!
Yeah, raves are cool. With the glowing things. Sometimes I have to tell girls I cannot be their Valentine because I don't like them, but I'm bad at saying that nicely. How do I reject someone nicely?
Say, "No, thank you."
No. Thank you?
Yes. Then try to find a more appropriate date for them, like one of your single friends.
I gotta go get my eyebrows separated. Thanks for teaching me how to be a good Valentine.
Music! Don't forget to play some romantic music.
Like what? Snow's "Informer" and El General's "Pun Tun Tun" are pretty good for lovemaking.
I'd make her a mixtape or CD or playlist and listen to it with her. Work your way up to the sexy songs. Here's an example: "Luckiest Guy," the Magnetic Fields; "Totally in Love," Avenue D; "You're So Fine," Egyptian Lover; "Passion," the Flirts; "Touch Me," Samantha Fox; and "My Neck, My Back," Khia.
Egyptian Lover will totally make the ladies make out with me!

Why...isn't it wrong to have more money than someone else? "Give back"? It is only "fair" in new nobamamerika.
Well, hussein did say that sooner or later you've made enough money. I guess that's why the hildebeast is going to make people pony up 200K for her speeches/lectures. So she can reach that magic number(whatever that number is) sooner or later. Which is far higher number than than us peons can make. But, "What difference does it make now?". Typical of the radical left wing extremist demokkkrat scumbags. No offense to scumbags.

Halloween Headquarters
Halloween is our favorite holiday at Goodwill! Our stores have curated costume sections as well as a wealth of raw materials just waiting for you to add your wicked good imagination and create a do-it-yourself masterpiece! Pledge to dress up, to have fun while being green, and to give back!
Shopping at Goodwill to put a truly creative costume together (versus buying a ready-made polyester one) will have you stand out from the crowd - you might even win that costume contest! - but your spending dollars also help us to provide job training, career services, and youth programs to the community. So be your own monster and shop Goodwill this Halloween.
Here are our favorite timeless and pop-culture-inspired costumes for adults and kids that work alone as well as in groups!
Halloween Headquarters Costume Ideas
Jurassic World - Dinosaurs took a big bite out of the big screen this summer. You can dress like Chris Pratt's Owen by rocking cargo shorts, a cargo vest, a safari shirt, and hiking boots. Or if the dinos are more your speed, dress in greens and browns (or blue for Blue the raptor) and go to town with the reptilian face paint.
Hunger Games - The last installment of Katniss & crew's saga in Panem returns to screens this November. To transform into the Mockingjay herself, dress in dark neutrals, find a brassy bird brooch, fashion yourself a rocking braid, and complete with a full quiver of arrows. For those with makeup skills, your face becomes a work of art when you paint yourself in bright colors and metallics to look like a resident of the Capital, candy-colored wig recommended.
Wet Hot American Summer - The cult classic camp comedy made a return this year as a Netflix prequel. Search for the finest late '70s/early '80s in camp attire to be right on trend: think short shorts, ringer tees, striped polos, and tube socks. Extra points for carrying a can of vegetables.
Spies Among Us - Mission Impossible and Spy rocked theaters this summer, so there should be no shortage of secret agents. Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt is classic, with all black, leather jacket, and cool shades. Melissa McCarthy's undercover agent has some less conventional secret identities, so grab a cute cat sweatshirt, some granny glasses, and a permed wig for a hilarious Halloween.
Superhero Season - This year saw the latest installments of The Avengers and new to the big screen Ant-Man. Pick up patriotic garb and make yourself a shield out of some cardboard for Captain America. Rock head-to-toe black plus utility belts for Black Widow, or look like your favorite shrinking superhero by dressing in red with black "armor" accents. The options are literally endless for thrifted superhero combinations!
If you're more of a Halloween purist, you can always shop the classics at Goodwill, too:
Monsters - Grab some brightly colored attire, and craft some eyes, noses, and mouths out of felt and stick them to yourself! Monsters are a wonderfully adaptive category, and only limited by your imagination (or your nightmares!).
Pirates - Striped shirt or ruffled blouse, cutoff pants, silk scarves (for head and waist), leather boots, oversized hat, eye patch. If you find something with a skull & crossbones on it, even better! Think: Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean.
Vampires - Tuxedo or corseted dress, heavy black eye makeup and red lipstick. Fake plastic vampire teeth a plus. Or go more modern and channel your favorite True Blood/Twilight character, hiding in plain sight.
Werewolves - Since modern werewolves only seem to go shirtless, you can really save big on this one, guys. For Twilight's Jacob, all you need is black jeans and a temporary tribal tattoo; for True Blood's Alcide, regular jeans and layered silver necklaces. Add a cotton henley and a plaid flannel shirt for modesty and authenticity to either one (especially if the forecast is chilly).
Fairies - Join Sookie Stackhouse and her ethereal kin in the fantasy of fairyland with a simple, gauzy floor length dress, natural hair pulled back with a headband, glitter body paint and a mason jar covered in glow-in-the-dark paint.
Zombies - If you're a fan of the Walking Dead, then you know anybody among us could turn zombie at any moment. Grab regular street clothes (or mimic those of your favorite zombie character), powder your face and circle your eyes in black, pour fake blood on yourself liberally, then raise arms and moan scarily. Fright night, indeed!
Most of all, whatever you dress up as this Halloween, have a safe, happy one from all of us at Goodwill. Boo!

Attack Warning:
Status of the Survivable Communications Integration System
IMTEC-92-61BR: Published: Jul 9, 1992. Publicly Released: Jul 9, 1992.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the Air Force's acquisition of the Survivable Communications Integration System (SCIS), focusing on: (1) program costs and schedule overruns; and (2) the status of design and development activities to meet the Department of Defense's needs.
GAO found that: (1) total SCIS costs have increased 65 percent, to $234 million; (2) a 3-year completion delay is due to more powerful computer hardware needs and a redefinition of missile warning message requirements; (3) Air Force reductions in the number of communications media, from 5 to 3, reduces SCIS survivability; (4) SCIS will utilize commercial high-speed telephone lines (CHS) and Jam Resistant Secure Communications, which are available for implementation; (5) the delivery of the Military Strategic Tactical and Relay Satellite Communications system for SCIS use is expected in several years; and (6) CHS are first media likely to fail during a nuclear attack.

Here's a quick tip to start your Monday off. When you get a grease stain on your clothing, rub some dish soap into the stain and wash it out. The dish soap is made to break grease down from dishes and pots and pans, and works amazingly well on clothing as well!

Life is best for those who enjoy it, difficult for those who analyze it and worst for those who criticize it.

Let's see how much interest there is in an a.net 2012 NFL Thread!
We had an early kickoff to the season with DAL vs NYG. We had some folks trash talking the Cowboy's inability to find the end zone, but when push came to shove they did, and their defense shut down the inevitable Eli Manning comeback attempt with great play by their new corners.
As for my interests, I think the Patriots are set up for another great season. The defense has gotten younger, faster and has two first round draft choices starting (Chander Jones on the line and Donte Hightower at linebacker). Still, the backfield is a concern - Belichick notoriously doesn't like spending money on DBs. As for offense, they've added Brandon Lloyd, a return of Josh McDaniels as offensive coordinator and have signed almost every tight end in the league! They didn't try to sign Law Firm too aggressively and he went elsewhere, and they are relying on Ridley and Vreen to try to put together something at RB, another area Belichick doesn't seem to do well with. The other concern is the offensive line where retirements and injuries have decimated the core that they've had over the last few seasons. All in all, I see another top-notch season for the Pats, with 12 regular season wins, especially given their kind schedule.
What about your interests?

Providing healthcare staff with a one-day training course on dealing with the sexual needs of people with an acquired physical disability gave staff a greater understanding of the issues facing patients and enabled providers to address intimate questions more comfortably and proactively, according to an Irish study.
The findings were so encouraging that the authors of the study, published in the November issue of the Journal of Advanced Nursing, have called for all healthcare practitioners to receive sexuality training, regardless of their role or area of practice.
Researchers surveyed 29 nurses, allied health professionals and care staff, before and after the course, on their ability and confidence to address sexual issues with patients. They also held in-depth interviews with 12 participants. Staff ages ranged from 20 to 55, 79% were female and a plurality (41%) had been working at their current hospital for one to five years.
"Changes associated with an acquired physical disability can diminish a persons self-esteem, sense of attractiveness, relationships and sexual functions," Agnes Higgins, the studys lead author and professor of mental health at the School of Nursing and Midwifery, Trinity College Dublin, said in a news release.
"Previous research suggests that people with physical disabilities are dissatisfied with the quality of information and support around sexuality during their rehabilitation."
Staff reported finding the course helpful. One participant said it made staff more able to respond to difficult issues in a sensitive manner. "Im less uncomfortable and if [patients] raise an issue, even in a joking manner, Im kind of happy to say, 'Well is that an issue for you? Would you like to talk about that a little more? rather than just kind of laughing and then moving onto the next subject, which is easy to do."
Another participant said the course made staff think of more than a patients medical needs, citing the example of a woman who was incontinent and keen to return home and to work. Normally they would have suggested a urinary catheter, without further exploring the impact of this on the persons life, but the staff member said: "Because Id done the sexuality course, it made me think: Well actually one of the persons goals is shes got a fiancé, and relationships are important, and that [catheter] would be a huge barrier."
This was reinforced by other staff members. "I like to think I see the patient as a person, but you dont always; you honestly dont," one said. "That [course] made me very, very aware that there is a person here."
Participants rated their knowledge of 13 key areas related to patients sexuality, including rights, aging, communication and help with specific medical conditions. The average score was 1.9 out of 4 before the course and 2.5 after the course — the equivalent of a 31.5% increase in knowledge.
Participants also rated their ability to deal with 15 situations, ranging from seeing a patient engaging in sexual behavior to giving advice on future sexual ability. The average score was 2.1 out of 4 before the course and 2.6 after the course — the equivalent of a 23.5% increase in ability.
"Patient sexuality is an area that many healthcare practitioners may be reluctant to address or discuss because of embarrassment, particularly when patients have a disability," Higgins said.
"Our study suggests that systematic education and training in sexuality leads to statistically significant changes in healthcare practitioners knowledge, skills and comfort. This course provided an effective learning experience for the healthcare practitioners and could easily be replicated elsewhere. We believe that practitioners require education in patient sexuality, regardless of their discipline."

Next weekend Jan 21st 2012 I will play a benefit concert in Boulder Colorado USA for GMO Free Boulder check out http://www.no-gmo-boulder.com Genetically Modified Organisms are not something I would feed to myself or my children. The struggle for humanity today and in the years ahead is the struggle to remain free, and especially free from Genetically Modified Organisms as food. Without knowledge, information, choice and a say in society about our food and our land, our basic freedoms are denied. Our lives and our children's lives, the life of earth, plant and seed are today in our hands.
here is some info.
Genetically Modified Food has entered the national food system without the consent of the American public. Species that are not sexually compatible are now genetically manufactured in laboratories and the new seeds are then owned by a single patent holder who has taken control of the food system. Creating insecticide inside the cells of the plants has created a new era of farming that has lead to a genetically altered food that has never been tested for human health yet has been moved to our grocery shelves without notice. As awareness increases across the globe, these new foods are now banned in 36 countries while Americans are unaware of the GMO component in their own food due to federal regulations that have refused to label GMO foods.
The takeover of public lands
And now, the patent holder of these new seeds seeks to increase their profit margins by taking over publicly owned lands to grow crops they can sell on the international commodities markets for corporate gain. In a move to take over public Parks and Open Space in Boulder, Colorado, the patent owner, Monsanto, lobbied public officials to ensure they gained a foothold in the future of Boulder County's agriculture.
Boulder, Colorado fights back
In what has come to be known as the epicenter of the natural and organic foods industry, Boulder, Colorado took a stand. GMO Free Boulder is a campaign to raise awareness about the truth behind the ownership and genetic modification of our food system and how that system has infiltrated our local Parks and Open Space, our political policy, our school lunch system and most importantly, the lifestyle that has come to be known here as health and sustainability. They are supported by both local and national business leaders, citizens, doctors, authors and school children and gives a voice to the 71% of voters in Boulder County who want GMOs prohibited on public land.
A landmark vote
In a vote that took two years, three advisory committees, concerted lobbying efforts by international giant, Monsanto, and the lead story in the local papers for months, GMO Free Boulder and thousands of local citizens successfully led Boulder County Commissioners to weigh heavily in favor of policy to include the labeling of all GMO foods as part of their legislative agenda and to ban the use of GMO alfalfa that would have destroyed the organic dairy farm industry in Boulder County. However, Monsanto successfully expanded their stake in public lands when the Commission voted to allow new GMO sugar beet seeds to be considered along with the continuation of GMO corn as legal crops on public land.
In 2012, GMO Free Boulder will continue to rid GMOs from the public arena, in both agricultural land as well as public school lunch as there have yet to be any pediatric studies on human health effects of GMO consumption in children. Allergies, diabetes, obesity and illness are rising at the same rates as the acreage of GMO crops are planted.

Interesting 2012 so far. Africa keeps coming up on my mindar ( radar ) After posting on two great Africans i post on another with reason. The ANC ( Africa National Congress ) with the leadership of brother Nelson Mandela led the struggle against the ignoble apartheid regime in South Africa. The ANC celebrates it's 100th birthday today sunday the 8th. i will never forget the days of my youth hearing about the ANC in jamaica and feeling solidarity with the struggle and so wishing i could go there to join the struggle. So today we say Happy Birthday ANC and thank you for standing up for Africa. All the best Father Mandela. Jah Bless you

Africa seems to be on my mind in this new year. First Fela and now H.I.M. it is 2012 and a vision of the Unity of Africa is haunting me.
here are some words of H.I.M. "Furthermore no clear consensus exists on the how and the what of this union. Is it to be in form federal, confederal or unitary ? Is the sovereignty of individual states to be reduced if so by how much...... On these and other questions there is no agreement, and if we wait for agreed answers , generations hence matters will be little advanced, while the debate still rages..... The opponents of Africa's growth whose interest would be best served by a divided and balkanized continent..."

I just had a short visit to the beautiful Antim Monastery in the very centre of Bucharest. It is a superb building gathering many motifs and styles from the Ottoman world of the c17th and c18th that I need to thoroughly investigate, analyse and meditate upon.
Tag: Brancovenesc
Church royal chair featuring King Ferdinand's cypher
A number of Romanian orthodox rite historic churches in Bucharest and other places of importance throughout Romania contain ceremonial chairs, named "thrones", dating mostly from the period of the Hohenzollern – Sigmaringen dynasty (1866-1947) destined for the use of the metropolitan/ patriarch and of the chief of state who at one time or another visited, consecrated or re-consecrated that building. The chair destined for the sovereign (there were two chairs if he was accompanied by his spouse) usually displays the cypher of the crowned head who first visited the building, assisted or gave his blessing to those important ceremonies, sometimes also containing other hallmarks of Romanian royalty, such as the crown or coat of arms. A royal or princely cypher is a monogram of the reigning ruler, formally approved and used on official documents or displayed on public buildings and other objects of public use or owned by the state, such as postal boxes or military vehicles, etc.
The image above shows an interesting example of a royal chair from Mantuleasa church in Bucharest (a beautiful Brancovan style monument, restored in 1924 – '30, in the reign of King Ferdinand and his descendant, King Carol II), photographed during a recent Historic Houses of Romania tour in that area. The chair displays Ferdinand's cypher, a stylised back-to-back double "F", as he was the monarch who officially inaugurated the restoration works. On top of chair's back there is also an interesting representation of Romania's state crown, the famous steel crown made from the melted metal of a canon captured in the 1877 Independence War. The whole assembly is rendered in the mature phase Neo-Romanian style, with ethnographic solar discs and acanthus/ vine leave carvings, constituting an interesting ceremonial furniture example expressed in the national design style. King Ferdinand's cypher is a rare sight nowadays, the chair presented here bringing back memories of this remarkable sovereign, who strove all his life to keep a reserved and dignified public profile.
Art Deco semi-cylindrical balcony
I found this small and exquisite Art Deco detail during one of my architectural history tours in Patriarchy Hill area of Bucharest. It forms part of the rooftop veranda of a house built in the late '30s, on an ocean liner theme. In fact the shape of the balcony and the veranda fence are clearly inspired from a nautical theme, similar with the semi-cylindrical observation post/ cage on top of the bow of the big liners of that era. Bellow this more unusual balcony is presented in six different image processing sequences and filters, which I hope would better convey its nice proportions and architectural context.
Neo-Romanian style jardinières
One of the tenets of the Neo-Romanian style's philosophy is integration of the architectural design within the natural environment of the country, envisaged as a sort of biblical Garden of Eden, similar with how the c18th Brancovan churches, from which the style draws a great deal of its inspiration, were seen as fragments of paradise on earth in this war torn region of Europe dominated for centuries by the Ottomans. That Arcadia like atmosphere of a family home is conveyed in the Neo-Romanian architecture through the use of a rich panoply of specific decorative elements. The jardinières are in that respect some of the most effective means to achieve that serendipity effect. They come in a wide diversity of shapes and decorations, positioned in high visibility spots in and around the house, such as on window sills, documented in previous articles on this blog. For this post I gathered a few illustrations of bowl type jardinières from the great multitude that adorn inter-war Neo-Romanian style houses. They are installed on doorway balustrades, atop street fence poles, flanking balconies, or in other prominent locations. The flowery and ornamental plants that grow in them, as seen in images presented here, transmit something from the pleasantness that characterised Bucharest of eight and nine decades ago, when most of those jardinières were put in place.
Exquisite villa from the apogee of the Neo-Romanian style
I first published this article in November 2010, but took it offline after a short while, due to a series of Romanian blogging sites which were using the photographs and ideas presented here, without giving any credit to my work, a blatant arrogant behaviour typical of the many so-called specialists that currently infest the post-communist cultural scene, including the history of architecture, of Romania. Many among those mediocrities misappropriate and habitually plagiarise other authors' work, as I also remember a case a year or so ago when someone from the teaching staff at the Bucharest University of Architecture "Ion Mincu", a lady named Mihaela Criticos, published a book about the Art Deco style, with a multitude of illustrations pulled out from the web, including from my site, without any necessary acknowledgement being made.
In the period between the mid-1920s and the mid-1930s, the Neo-Romanian architectural style has reached its apogee. One of the leading architects who has marked that intensely creative decade, was Toma T Socolescu, the most brilliant scion of a famous family of Romanian architects. The house above, although not very sizeable, represents in my opinion one of his finest creations, which is also excellently preserved. It is located in Campina, a prosperous oil town 90km north of Bucharest, close by another house that I documented in an earlier post (an excellent modernist design, which I hypothesized, correlated with information from the locals, that it was designed by a Wehrmacht architect in the 1940s). Remarkable in this example is the highly elaborated and decorated doorway assembly (the door, the wall dressing and the awning). Also noticeable is the ground-floor balcony terrace overlooking a beautiful small garden. The terrace is overlooked by a decorative shield containing the family monogram, "NP", decorating the door arch keystone. I would also like to mention here the charming first floor veranda, decorated with interesting wood carved pillars that sustain an interesting bell shaped tiled roof, which was modelled by the architect from roof examples that endow many late medieval Wallachian churches. The roof is crowned by a large Neo-Romanian type finial. I had the opportunity to discuss with the proprietor of this architectural jewel, a senior lady, who gave an abundance of information about the designer and year of construction (1934). She also mentioned the struggle to save and maintain it during the long decades of the communist dictatorship, when part of the property was used by the army as housing for its personnel. The proprietor also mentioned the recent restoration and renovation works, which were undertaken with great care and under her close supervision in order to preserve as much as possible from the old building details and fabric. In my opinion she has managed to do that with excellent competence, the house being now, in my opinion, one of the best restored Neo-Romanian style houses in the entire country. The photomontage above and slide show bellow the text are just a few glimpses of this exquisite house designed and built at the zenith of the Neo-Romanian style.

iPhone photo of the day
Actually I shot the picture yesterday with my new iPhone 4S. I am an admirer of Steve Jobs, who is among my pantheon of worthies, and his business philosophy of creating products that are at the intersection between technology and humanities. The blog "Historic Houses of Romania", my architectural history online videos and other projects involving the internet are endeavours of putting the Romanian period architecture within the coordinates of that vision. The present iPhone handset is the first piece of Apple technology which I was able to afford, taking advantage of a good offer from my mobile phone carrier. It is just sheer delight to use this technological and aesthetic marvel in my hands and imaginatively operate it to spreading the word about the historic houses of Romania. That is even more significant for me as the iPhone 4S was among the last creations completed under the overseeing and intellectual input of the late Steve Jobs.
The picture shows the front of Romania's chief school of architecture, the University of Architecture "Ion Mincu" in Bucharest,a grand Neo-Romanian style facade, the most flamboyant in existence, and an open encyclopaedia of that architectural design peculiar to Romania and its adjacent regions.
Neo-Romanian style picture frames – 1
I would like to present you two beautiful Neo-Romanian style wooden picture frames, dating from the early 1910s at a time when the mature phase of Romania's national style was hugely gaining in popularity, following the success of the Bucharest Great Jubilee Exhibition of 1906 when the new national style of Romania was showcased to the wider public. These fine artefacts are part of architect Madalin Ghigeanu's collection of documents and objects of Romanian history, to whom I am grateful for allowing the publication of their photographs on this blog. The motifs craved on the frames are an encyclopaedia of Neo-Romanian style decoration: the Byzantine arch, short rope motif columns, ethnographic solar discs, patterns taken from peasant embroideries, etc. Fittingly the frames now host autographed photographs of Queen Marie, Romania's British Queen, a granddaughter of Queen Victoria, in peasant costume, one of the iconic promoters of the Neo-Romanian style since its first years, especially in the field of interior and furniture design, gardening, fashion and painting.
The picture frame above reminds me of a book cover design, which I reviewed on this blog (click here to access article), where a similar pair of column span the Byzantine arch. I like the exquisite solar discs, ever present in Romanian ethnography, and the suggestion of a three-lobed broken arch inspired from the Brancovan church architecture that is carved along the opening of the frame.
The columns in the second example show an abstract rectangular-like configuration of the rope motif, popular in the building architecture, used for wall friezes, and inspired from Curtea de Arges cathedral's c16th designs. The solar discs are composed from the customary six rays, an ancestral motif encountered in Indo-European ethnography from Sri Lanka to Ireland, while remaining field is filled with patterns inspired from the embroderies that embellish the Romanian peasant costumes.
Brief considerations on the Brancovan style
The Brancovan architectural forms, which unfurled in the period between the mid-c17th and first decades of the c18th, epitomised a sublime relation between symbols representing the way of life of that period and the belief system peculiar to the place in which they took shape, namely the Principality of Wallachia. The arhictecture of those edifices mirrored the spiritual universe and psychology of those who erected them and the communities for whom they were built. That is the reason why the symbolism of those monuments contains the answer to the question why the architecture, especially the ecclesiastical design, has acquired a unique language during the Brancovan epoch, leading to the emergence of what we call today the Brancovan style, intrinsic to that principality and pivotal to the underpinning, in the modern era, of the Neo-Romanian style.
The conceptual tools employed in analysing the architectural phenomenon of that age in central and western Europe are, in my opinion, not wholesomely adequate in examining the stylistic complexity of the Brancovan style buildings, where a more Read more
Mosilor area: images from last Sunday's architectural history & photo tour
The tour which I organised last Sunday, 7 August '11, the tenth such end of the week cultural excursion🙂, in Mosilor area of Bucharest has been very popular, attended by professionals and students alike, in majority Romanians, as well as people from Ireland or the US, settled or working here. Mosilor is one of the most picturesque and evocative quarters of old Bucharest, being a mostly residential district with a strong identity expressed in its people's sense of community and delightful historic architecture. The quarter grew around the famous Mosilor fair, which since the c18th, when was first mentioned in documents, took place outside the walls of the old city, on the road that went to Moldova, also known as "Drumul Mare" (the Highway). The fair and quarter around it grew spectacularly once the principalities of Wallachia and Moldova got united, forming Romania, in the aftermath of the Crimea War. Mosilor area, as a consequence, has a relatively high density of exquisite late c19th houses rendered in the "Little Paris style" architecture, what I name the French and other western historicist styles of that period interpreted in a provincial manner in Romania. Another well represented architectural style is the Neo-Romanian, ranging from early examples dating from the last years of the c19th, to hybrids with the Art Deco, erected in the 1930s. There is also a multitude of other styles from different periods- from a late c18th Balkan Ottoman dwelling, to Beaux Arts, Art Deco and Modernist edifices dotting the quaint and leafy streets of Mosilor. I thus trust that the participants enjoyed a good cultural Sunday morning out, full of discoveries and revelations about one of the most loved and enchanting quarters of old Bucharest.🙂
!!! The next Sunday (14 August '11, 9am-12.00) architectural history and photography tour will take place in Domenii hisoric quarter – Casa Scanteii building, north-west-central Bucharest (see a map at this link); meeting point: in the Arch of Triumph square at the Herastrau park entrance in front of the big black public clock. I look forward to seeing you there !!!

Vlach identity
There are sizable communities of Vlachs settled in and around Bucharest. The photograph bellow shows a Neo-Romanian style house dating from the 1910s, around the time of the Balkan Wars, displaying the name "Villa Cutika", where Cutika is a Vlach feminine gender name.
Vlach is a collective term applied usually to peoples speaking Romance languages, others than Romanian, in the Balkan Peninsula. As you are familiar with the Romance speaking peoples of Western Europe, such as Spaniards, French or Italians, the same is the case in Eastern Europe, where there are smaller population peoples speaking Romance languages, descendants of the Roman colonists and Romanised natives from the time when the Roman Empire ruled the area two millenia ago. The Romanian language is the largest represented in terms of population Eastern Romance idiom, followed by a number of Vlach languages, such as Macedo-Romanian, Megleno-Romanian or Istro-Romanian. The nationalist movements that have affected the Balkan Peninsula in the last two centuries have often brought tragedies, such as discrimination and ethnic cleansing, upon the Vlach communities, who were allways a minority living in the midst of ethically different majority peoples then emerging as modern nations, such as the Greeks, Bulgarians or Serbians. The Romanian national state, in its turn, considered its duty to protect and give refuge to its etnic kin, the Vlachs, often wrongly regarded by the Romanian officials, historians and linguists as just speakers of mere Romanian dialects.
The house that hosts the tablet shown in the photography bellow was built by such a Vlach refugee family in Romania, perhaps around the time of the Balkan Wars, on a plot of land granted by the government. The style of the house is Neo-Romanian, being a fitting patriotic statement in architectural terms made by the proprietors to their adoptive country, also stating clearly the Vlach identity through the name tablet. The house is on Rumeoara Street, which sounds Vlach to me and it may well be the name of the region in the Balkans (Greece, etc.) from where the families settled on that street originate.

Ga. port officials promise to protect ancient oaks
SAVANNAH, Ga. -- Across from a paved lot where the Port of Savannah stacks empty cargo containers stands a living link to the time before Georgia's first settlers arrived -- an ancient live oak tree more than 7½ feet in diameter with massive branches extending up to 70 feet from its trunk.
One expert estimates the giant oak and another about the same size less than a mile away are more than 360 years old. That would mean they took root at least 80 years before Gen. James Edward Oglethorpe arrived in 1733 and founded Georgia as a British colony.
On Friday, celebrated nationally as Arbor Day, officials from the Georgia Ports Authority made a formal promise to protect and preserve the pair of ancient live oaks -- and 24 of their younger cousins -- from the rapid development and growth that's made Savannah the fourth busiest container port in the U.S.
"These trees and others on our land are not going to be destroyed," said Curtis Foltz, executive director of the Georgia Ports Authority. "We're going to be sure our business protects and respects them."
The decision means roughly 9 acres of land is being spared from development at the port's 1,200-acre Garden City Terminal, which handled just shy of 3 million containers of imports and exports in 2012.
Many of the younger live oaks were planted when the land was part of Whitehall Plantation, a rice plantation started in the late 18th century. The state purchased the land for the Savannah port in 1960.
Port officials hired an arborist, Shannon Baughman, to estimate the age of the oldest oaks and devise a plan for preserving them.
Baughman said there's no way to tell the trees' ages for sure. Even taking a core sample from the trunk that would allow the oaks' rings to be counted would be pointless, he said, because in some cases live oaks are capable of growing two new rings in a single year.
Baughman said he consulted other foresters in coming up with a formula that assumes a live oak in coastal Georgia's climate will grow one inch in radius every eight years.

Photo of the Week: Specialty Coffee in Honduras
July 12, 2013
The farming families of the Flor del Pino cooperative have been able to improve their quality of life by improving the quality of their coffee.
The 25 farming families of the Flor del Pino cooperative grow their coffee in the high mountains of western Honduras—conditions ideally suited for specialty-grade coffee. But for years, these farmers sold their coffee to local buyers at low prices. Through farming and business training, TechnoServe advisors helped the members of Flor del Pino grow better quality coffee and connect with international buyers who pay a higher price.
As a result, the farmers are earning higher incomes and improving their nutrition, their homes, their health and their education. They have even benefited their community by helping to install drinking water and electricity.
Learn more about our work with Flor del Pino.
