Further on, we present the main challenges for the development path of Wroclaw.

Minister and Regime Critic
When he was 18, Rainer Eppelmann worked as a roofer assistant to earn money for his mother and two younger siblings. His father, a carpenter, lived and worked in West Berlin. He had a West Berlin passport, too. When the Wall was erected on August 13, 1961, the family was separated. After that the oldest became responsible for the family. Before the Wall was built, he and his siblings had attended high school on the west side of the city. They had been taught in an east class, a special class set up for students who had been denied the opportunity to achieve the university entrance diploma in East Berlin. The class enabled them to take their final examinations. But the 13th of August put an end to this. By September 1961 they had to be registered in the East where they were disparaged as border profiteers. They were initially also denied the right to receive vocational training which is why Rainer Eppelmann first got a job as a roofer before he was allowed to begin training as a mason a year later. The hope that he might acquire a West Berlin passport through his father was soon shattered. And anyway, the family depended on him. After his two-year training was over, he worked as a mason in a PGH (Artisan Production Collective). Several people that he knew from the amateur church theater group of the Protestant Church in East Berlin also worked there.
Rainer Eppelmann was conscripted into the army but he refused to bear arms. A resolution had been passed by the National Defense Council of East Germany in September 7, 1964 that called for the training of construction working units within the military. The initiative to have people trained as construction soldiers had been instigated primarily by the Church and it remained the only way to get around having to use a weapon. Rainer Eppelmann recalls that the oath of allegiance still obligated these soldiers to honor unconditional obedience. He was unable to reconcile his Christian beliefs with this pledge of absolute obedience to a person or state. He and one other person from their group refused to take the oath and were sentenced to eight months in prison. During his time in the military prison in Ückermünde, the 22 year old became even more convinced that East Germany was a place where decisions were made for him telling him both what to do as well as whether or not he could leave.
After his release from prison, he had to go through ten months of training as a construction soldier. As a consequence of having refused to bear arms, he was denied the opportunity to study at a national university, technical school or college in East Germany. The only positive experiences he had in walled-in East Germany were inseparably linked to his time with the Youth Congregation and the Protestant Church. Hence was a logical decision for him to attend the Paulinium Preacher School. This was one of two theological colleges in East Germany that offered a theological degree related to the pastor profession. The degree had been established out of need -- there were not enough ministers in East Germany -- but it did not lead to an academic career. During his five-year studies, Rainer Eppelmann married and had two children. Afterwards he became a minister and later worked for the regional youth office of the Samaritan Parish in Friedrichshain.
As minister he often heard parish members speak of the difficulties and injustices they experienced in East Germany. With each of these fates, the rejection and contempt I felt towards the regime grew stronger, he recalls today. His experiences led him to believe that something had to be done against the people who were responsible for putting people in these difficult or even dishonorable situations in which they were encouraged to act against their own will. Rainer Eppelmann began to conduct a special kind of prayer service that evolved into the Blues Mass. In 1979, 250 people participated in services which included music, bible text readings and short political sketches. In 1983 the number of participants had risen to 7,000. People from all over East Germany crowded into the Samaritan Church. The government felt the church mass was sabotage against official youth policies. The services were banned in the fall of 1986: Peace groups were formed instead and the Blues Mass was replaced by other central events.
Rainer Eppelmann is one of the most well-known members of church peace and human rights groups. In early October 1989, he co-founded the opposition party Demokratischer Aufbruch. In 1990 he was appointed Minister without Portfolio in the administration under Hans Modrow. Following the first free election on March 18, 1990, he was appointed Minister for Disarmament by Premier Lothar de Maizière. He was a representative in the German Bundestag until 2005.

Elizabeth Hurley's son Damian recreated one of her most famous red carpet looks.
The 17-year-old actor and model has paid homage to his mother by re-imagining the 'safety pin' Versace dress Elizabeth, 54, wore to the after party of Richard Curtis' 'Four Weddings And A Funeral' in 1994 with her then-boyfriend Hugh Grant.
Attending the launch party for Pat McGrath Labs new product range Sublime Perfection The System at Selfridges in London, Damian wore a pair of black cigarette trousers and a matching black blazer emblazoned with seven oversized gold safety pins.
Damian fronted the Sublime Perfection campaign and recently took to Instagram to share his excitement about being the new face of the brand.
He wrote: "So excited to show you guys something secret [that] I've been working on with the divine, Pat McGrath".
It appears the feeling between the model and the designer is mutual as McGrath previously dubbed Hurley "a bright, young, emerging star".
He said: "A supermodel is born. It's no surprise that as the offspring of the iconic Elizabeth Hurley, Damian is a bright, young, emerging star who has an absolutely magnetic personality, energy, and an exceptional look."
Damian added of McGrath: "Pat is an artist and visionary, who has truly changed the face of beauty, especially for my generation."
Despite the dress being one of Elizabeth's most iconic looks, the 'Royals' star previously admitted that the dress was "fished a dress out of a white plastic bag".
She said: "I urgently needed to find a dress to wear for Hugh [Grant]'s premiere, and in those days I had no idea about fashion.
"I remember going to an office where they literally fished a dress out of a white plastic bag."

Dancing Peach Blossoms in the Spring Breeze? 桃花舞春風 ?
Everyone is aware that the Peach Blossoms is a type of flower. But why do people use this flower to describe a person who is radiant with life force, and enjoys wide popularity and admiration? I am very sure that not many will know the reason.
Spring is the first of the four seasons. It is the season of renewal, where flowers bloom and all signs of life reemerge. The Chinese character 桃 of the word 桃花 (Peach Blossoms) has the Chinese character Wood on its left key radical, signifying the season of Spring. The right radical 兆 signifies the return of Spring and all things auspicious. Therefore, using Peach Blossoms to describe a man in the peak of his luck is acceptable and comprehensible.
If your mind remains a blank after my detailed explanation above, get hold of a stalk of Peach Blossom and you will be able to understand. If you do not get it, it means that your karmic obstacles are heavy. You should diligently engage in your spiritual practice until all the obstacles are cleared! Ha ha ha!
When all aspects of our life are going well, this is our period of good fortune. Why does this period of good luck decline? That is because you did not preserve and maintain it well. Just as the saying goes, "No flower can bloom for a hundred days", but that is talking about flowers. When it comes to the fortunes of man, it should be counted with a hundred years. A flower may not bloom for a hundred days but it at least flourishes for more than two seasons, so how can a man's prime luck duration lose out to that of a flower! If so, your destiny is really flawed. As we live in this world, we all need the Peach Blossom luck, without which we will struggle for our livelihoods.
Peach Blossoms are like the breath of Spring. They are like a hundred flowers vying in splendour during Summer. Lonely bachelors and bachelorettes are such because they lack the Peach Blossom luck. Your boss overlooks your talent, your colleagues are not supportive of you, your business has no customers, and if you are a monk, taking to the stage to expound the texts of Buddhism, the hall is almost desolate with barely an audience. All these are the result of missing Peach Blossoms in your destiny. When we observe these various domains in life, we became fully aware that everyone needs the Peach Blossoms indeed.
Dancing Peach Blossoms in the Spring breeze represents the momentum of good fortunes, the abundance of positive and auspicious energies, and life radiating at its peak. Such energies can be created in the Feng Shui of your own home. It can be invoked with your daily dressing and accessories. The problem lies in whether you have or understand this intricate knowledge.
We are all solely responsible for our own life. Whether you want to be radiant with happiness and flushed with success like the burst of Spring, or be like the falling leaves of autumn, melancholic and mournful, the choice remains yours. Even if you manage to find George Lam and Sally Yeh, they may not be willing or able to make the "choice" (a duet song by them) for you. Ha! Master Dai Hu? I absolutely can.

Russell Crowe stars as a famous criminal who is headed for the hangman's tree, if only a desperate rancher-turned-bounty-hunter can get him there.
MICHELLE: I loved this movie. It surprised me in several ways. Its characters weren't cardboard cutouts, and its plot wasn't predictable. At the showing we attended, people applauded at the end.
ALLEN: This really is an old-fashioned western. It's as much about the struggle to survive in a lawless frontier as it is about big shoot-outs. It's a remake of a 1950's film based on an Elmore Leonard short story. There have been lots of films based on Leonard's work, "Get Shorty" being the most famous, but modern audiences don't think of him as a writer of westerns. What he's brilliant at is developing interesting characters, and that's where this film excels.
MICHELLE: I hear there's Oscar buzz surrounding this picture.
ALLEN: I think whenever the words "Russell Crowe" are spoken there is Oscar buzz. Christian Bale ain't no slouch either, but he has a Batman franchise to his name and Hollywood has a hard time nominating Batman for an Oscar. He didn't get nominated for "The Machinist" and that was one of the most amazing performances of the last 10 years.
MICHELLE: I'm becoming a big Christian Bale fan. He's one of those things you don't hear about — a child star who didn't land in jail and rehab repeatedly. This kid did "Henry V" and "Empire of the Sun" when he was a boy, and has managed to work pretty steadily ever since.
ALLEN: Christian Bale is English and Russell Crowe is an Aussie, yet these two guys are playing quintessential American icons. Russell Crowe is the bad guy. How do we know? He wears the black hat. Christian Bale is the good-guy — white hat. I thought there was a law that said you couldn't do a western without Robert Duval, Sam Elliott or Tom Selleck, but evidently they got around that by casting Peter Fonda.
Michelle MacEachern and Allen Lunde aren't professional movie reviewers; they're just a married couple who like to go to the movies and can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Odebrecht to sell Peru hydroelectric plant to Chinese consortium
By Marcο Aquinο
LIMA, Nov 29 - A state-owned Chinese cοnsοrtium has struck a deal to buy Peru's Chaglla hydrοelectric plant frοm scandal-plagued Brazilian builder Odebrecht SA fοr at least $618 milliοn, Peru's Justice Ministry said οn Thursday.
Justice Minister Vicente Zeballos told repοrters that Odebrecht would turn over half the sale price agreed upοn with the Chinese cοnsοrtium, led by Three Gοrges Cοrp, to cοver reparatiοns in a lοng-running cοrruptiοn case.
Odebrecht has been at the center of Latin America's biggest graft scandal after admitting to paying bribes frοm Peru to Panama. It is selling assets to shrink its debt as it faces billiοns in fines and bans οn bidding fοr gοvernment cοntracts thrοughout the regiοn.
After Brazil, Peru is the cοuntry where the Odebrecht scandal has been mοst disruptive. Peru's fοur mοst recent presidents are under investigatiοn in cοnnectiοn with alleged bribes paid by Odebrecht.
The sale of the 456-megawatt hydrοpοwer facility, Peru's third largest, must still be apprοved by the Ecοnοmy Ministry and the Energy and Mining Ministry, as well as the state-run pοwer cοmpany Electrοperu.
"The sale price agreed upοn by the buyer and seller is arοund $618 milliοn," Zeballos said, adding that discussiοns were still under way and cοuld bοost the price to as much as $640 milliοn.
Odebrecht in Peru declined to cοmment οn the deal.
The deal is China Three Gοrges' first venture in Peru as the presence of Chinese cοmpanies grοws in Latin America.
The sale price is substantially lower than the $1.4 billiοn that sources told Reuters the two parties had initially agreed upοn last year.
"The total value is $1.39 billiοn," Zeballos said. "But it owes mοney in taxes, financial debt and to wοrkers, which reduces that amοunt by half."
The Chaglla pοwerplant is a critical supply fοr Peru's mining industry in the nοrthern Andes mοuntains.

Valentines Day Romance | Sexy Girls in Pink and Red
Well… I know I said I would be better about blogging… Oops. I guess I lied. But now…. For real. I am determined to catch this blog up because I have a ton of awesome content that isn't getting the attention it deserves. So here's to blogging, and here's to staying on top of this. How about if I fall behind on this blog again, you go to my Facebook Page and harass me for updates. Deal? Deal.
Okay okay okay… Where were we? Let us take the time machine back to January 23rd, when the weather was freezing and my apartment was steaming.
Here we are. January 23rd, 2013.
Just kidding. Lets go back ever farther to the planning stages of this shoot. Reeeewind!
After being invited to be an affiliated photographer for Deadly Dessert Magazine, the first issue I would have work in was going to be the February issue. I knew this was a great excuse to shoot a Valentine's Day themed shoot that I've been dying to do. Anyone who has seen my body of work knows that I love to shoot barely-clothed beautiful women with bright colored hair. I'm sure you can guess where this is going.
My apartment in the city is tiny and I don't have a studio but I knew this shoot had to be indoors. It seems like I've shot every inch of my apartment a million times. I knew I had to make my apartment NOT look like my apartment. So I while doing a round between the dollar store, craft store, fabric store, and thrift store for photoshoot goodies, I stumbled upon this awesome fabric on sale at G Street Fabrics in Maryland. Initially I thought about wrapping my models in the pink fabric, but then I had the idea to make curtains behind them with the fabric. Since the fabric was on sale and dirt cheap, I bought all of it and brought it home for a little experimenting.
My big sis was in town visiting and she also just so happens to be the craft queen. It was nice to have an extra set of hands!
After a night of trying different ways of hanging the curtains, I decided that it could definitely be done.
Okay… Fast forward to January 23rd.
After finding two beautiful models and a super talented makeup artist, the transformation of my apartment and my girls began.

From Fairy Princess to Super Sexy Femme Fatale
Hey guys! I have an exciting post for you today! Sweet Trade Photography invited me to shoot some latex outfits from Fetasia Latex and Scarlet Bliss (provided by Jade) with her earlier this week. I was so stoked to meet alternative model Fate and have the chance to shoot her. This girl can morph from fairy princess to sexy latex femme fatale in a matter of minutes. It was truly amazing to watch this girl work it. We decided to start off with more "normal" looks and progress to the latex shots at the end. Latex is a messy thing to shoot and if you've ever done it, you'll know why we did it last. 😉
I LOVE working with Sarah from Sweet Trade Photography. We have only shot together one other time but I model for her quite frequently. Some of the best shots in my modeling portfolio are from this girl. She makes magic. But it's so interesting to shoot alongside her because our styles are very different. We can shoot the same subject in the same setting and the same outfit and the images don't look anything alike. I love that. We even have the same camera. I think that says a lot about artistic style and a photographers eye. Too cool. I also love shooting with Sarah because we get all of these cool Behind the Scenes pictures of us being goofy. Hehe!
Anyway, back to Fate. This first outfit is such a mashup of everyone's things. Fate had this amazing flowy skirt that we paired with a Victorian-esque corset I brought, shoulder pieces from Amorous Cat's Attic (provided by Jaded), and a dip into my magic bag of wigs.
Here I am adjusting Fate's wig. The wig is from Cosplay Wigs USA (available here: CWUSA Curly Blonde). Also, I'd like to clarify that I am not a giant. Fate is just a munchkin. 🙂 xo
After pulling all of our resources together and getting everything all good to go, we went out to the woods in Sarah's backyard. Time to make some princess magic happen.
Magic. I love it. It feels like she's out in some far away world… Just a lost princess looking for her way home.
Next up, we stuck with the same kind of innocence of the first set. Fate switched into an adorable little dress, and we switched her into some dark brown long hair (Available here: CWUSA Long Straight Brown).
Haha!! Wig cap alert! Helping Fate get her wig on…. Always funny.
This time we went out to the front yard to grab some shots by some flowers. The sun was in an awesome spot for lens flare, and I am a HUGE sucker for flare if I can get it. So… here ya go!
Yesss! Sun flare love! And can I just point out how well Fate nails "innocent"? Very convincing… 😉
Another Behind the Scenes shot! This is Sarah shooting. She asked me to shake some flower pedals down onto Fate which led to this funny series….
On the way back into the house, the stairs jumped out at me as the perfect background against the dress and Fate's beautiful pale skin contrasting with her hair and eyes. SO MUCH LOVE.
She is so beautiful!
After this, sweet and innocent time was over. Cue the latex. This black dress is by Scarlet Bliss.
In this Behind the Scenes shot, Sarah knocks out a few with Fate in Gothic Lolita Wigs' Teal Bob (available here: GLW Teal Bob)
My turn! BAM.
See what I mean about this girl morphing? From super sweet and innocent to drop dead super sexy. Just wow. I am so impressed.
Time to switch into the last outfit. Latex takes some time to get into and get out of, so here is a picture of me and Sarah being silly in the mean time. La la la aaaa.
This latex is from Fetasia Latex (provided by Jaded). The wig is Gothic Lolita Wigs Red/White Split without the ponytails (available here: GLW Red/White Split). We decided to go for a more latex pinup look and I love the results!
Behind the scenes time!
My hair gets really psycho during shoots. There is nothing I can do!
The sun was so awesome that even the iPad (playing some really awesome Destiny's Child… because who doesn't love Destiny's Child?) could catch it!
SO cute. Ah. This is just too much. To wrap up our marathon shoot, here is a lovely/goofy/what? shot of all of us together. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed the photos and the behind-the-scenes look at a photoshoot with Alexa Poletti Photography and Sweet Trade Photography. That's all for now! xo

Sisters in the Summer – Sibling Photography
Hey guys! On Monday afternoon, I had the pleasure of shooting the Elkins sisters who are both just amazingly wonderful and funny. I had so much fun with these two. They reminded me of my own sisters and I suddenly wanted to do a family shoot with my sisters. I miss them! Ahhh! There is nothing like the bond of sisterhood. Sister relationships are so awesome because you are born with a best friend. You can fight and make up in a matter of seconds. It's such a weird dynamic… I love it.
Now I don't normally do family portraits. It's not like I have anything against it, it's just not usually a client I attract since I don't shoot children. This shoot on the other hand… Pretty much the ideal family session for me. These girls are around my age so I was able to just kick it with them and take some photos for mom. Mom likes nature. Here we go!
Time for a little tech rundown:
For the set above, I shot completely natural light. I had Melanie (right) hold a few of the branches of the bush to frame their faces with the budding flowers and add an extra layer to the photo to make it more interesting. This set is a personal favorite of mine. These girls are so pretty and natural!
The photos below were shot under a dark, shadowy tree. Sun spots are always a problem under tree light, so I used a Canon 580exII flash into a 45″ white umbrella to illuminate the girls with a nice soft light, while blocking the major sun spots with a translucent reflector.
Just a quick thanks to these girls for being so cool and cooperative in our interesting…environment. Haha! And thanks to Jasmine for coming all the way down from NYC for this shoot! You guys are too cool!

FHFA proposal would exempt Federal Home Loan banks from stress tests
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
WASHINGTON — The Federal Housing Finance Agency has proposed a plan that would exempt the Federal Home Loan banks from conducting stress tests.
The FHFA's proposal would increase the stress test threshold for companies supervised by the agency from $10 billion to $250 billion of total consolidated assets. No Home Loan bank currently meets the new threshold. The proposal still requires the government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to conduct stress tests.
The plan would implement a provision of last year's financial regulatory relief law, and mirrors steps taken by the federal bank regulators for their institutions.
The FHFA is also proposing to remove a requirement that stress tests include an "adverse scenario" from its stress testing regime. The new regulatory relief law amended the Dodd-Frank Act to no longer require such a scenario in stress tests.
"Although the 'adverse' scenario has provided some additional value in limited circumstances, the 'baseline' and 'severely adverse' scenarios largely cover the full range of expected and stressful conditions," the proposed rule says. "Therefore, FHFA does not consider it necessary, for its supervisory purposes, to require the additional burden of analyzing an 'adverse' scenario."
Although the Home Loan banks would no longer be required to participate in stress tests, the FHFA's proposal suggests that the agency's director should be able to compel any institution it regulates with assets of less than $250 billion to participate in stress tests if it is warranted.
The FHFA will accept comments on the proposal until Jan. 15.

Think about young children out at a restaurant with their family way after their normal bedtime. Maybe they're on vacation or have been going all day, had to wait in line and, your luck, got the booth next to yours. They may be short tempered, ill-mannered, and obstinate – not the best dinner companions. But here's the thing: It's probably not their fault. If they haven't gotten enough sleep, they are tired and cranky. Lack of sleep throws off our chemical balance and deprives us of much-needed rest that allows us to cope, concentrate, solve problems, and function more effectively in interactive situations–like while playing, in school, and at work.
In March, we turn the clocks ahead an hour and look forward to enjoying the lengthening days and milder temperatures. If you have a dog or cat, you know they're not happy about the time change – they expect breakfast and dinner on the schedule they're used to. But besides upsetting our animals, the time change and loss of an hour adds to any sleep deprivation we may already be suffering and wreaks havoc with our internal clocks.
When we're tired, we become irritable. Productivity, service, creativity, and quality of work often suffer. Being fatigued tests the patience of everyone around us, increases chances of accidents or mistakes, and aggravates chronic health conditions. It also reduces our natural immune system, making us more susceptible to illness.
Humans have a 24-hour internal clock called circadian rhythm that controls our eating and sleeping patterns, internal bodily functions and the timing of hormone secretions. We might have trouble falling asleep at night or waking up in the morning if our internal clock gets out of sync with the external day-night cycle. This happens with multi-time-zone travel and is the basis for jet lag. With the daylight savings time shift, the external time has shifted while the internal clock has not, and even though it's been weeks, there's still a lag.
The more stable and consistent our circadian rhythm, the better our sleep. This cycle also may be altered by the timing of various factors including naps, bedtime, exercise, diet, and especially exposure to light.
Aging also plays a role in sleep and sleep hygiene. After the age of 40, our sleep patterns change and we have many more nocturnal awakenings than in our younger years. These not only directly affect the quality of our sleep, but they also interact with any other condition that may cause arousals or awakenings, functioning like the withdrawal syndrome that occurs after drinking alcohol close to bedtime. Chronic illness, changes of medications, and injuries also affect restlessness. But whatever the causes, the more times we awake at night, the more likely we will not feel refreshed and restored in the morning.
Additionally, psychological stressors like deadlines, exams, arguments, and job crises may prevent us from falling asleep or wake us from sleep throughout the night. It takes time to "turn off" all the noise from the day. If you work right up to the time you turn out the lights, are watching television, or are on your phone or laptop, you simply can't just "flip a switch" and drop off to a blissful night's sleep.
Steps for sleeping more peacefully
Millions of Americans suffer from fatigue caused by poor sleep habits. And while chemical imbalances and chronic conditions such as sleep apnea—where the body doesn't get enough oxygen during sleep—can be affecting you, there are many simple solutions you can try before turning to medications or speaking with your doctor about a sleep study.
The most important sleep hygiene measure is to maintain a regular sleep and wake pattern seven days a week. It's also important to spend an appropriate amount of time in bed—not too little, or too much. This may vary by individual. For example, if someone has a problem with daytime sleepiness, they should spend a minimum of eight hours in bed, but if they have difficulty sleeping at night, they should limit themselves to seven hours in bed in order to keep the sleep pattern consolidated.
Here are 10 good sleep hygiene practices to consider:
- Avoid napping during the day. It can disturb the normal pattern of sleep and wakefulness.
- Avoid stimulants such as caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol too close to bedtime. While alcohol is well known to speed the onset of sleep, it disrupts sleep in the second half of your sleep cycle as the body begins to metabolize the alcohol, causing arousal.
- Exercise can promote good sleep. Vigorous exercise should be practiced in the morning or late afternoon. A relaxing exercise, like yoga, can be done before bed to help initiate a restful night's sleep; but avoid exercise close to bedtime.
- Food can be disruptive right before sleep. Stay away from large meals, spicy foods which increase metabolism, sweets, or unhealthy snacking. And, remember, chocolate contains caffeine, though it has many helpful properties, as well.
- Ensure adequate exposure to natural light. This is particularly important for older people who may not venture outside as frequently as children and adults. Light exposure helps maintain a healthy sleep-wake cycle, though try to avoid too much light exposure in the evening if you've been having trouble sleeping.
- Establish a regular, relaxing bedtime routine and try to wake up at the same time every day.
- Limit stimulating activities, electronic games, social networking, and TV shows before trying to go to sleep.
- Don't dwell on or bring your problems to bed, and try to avoid emotionally upsetting conversations when it's time to relax.
- Associate your bed with sleep. It's not a good idea to use your bed to watch TV, listen to the radio, or work.
- Make sure that the sleep environment is pleasant and relaxing. The bed should be comfortable, and the room should not be too hot or cold, or too bright.
It's easy to put off sleep, figuring we can catch up when there's more time. But like taking our medications, eating nutritional meals and exercising regularly, getting the rest we need is important for our overall health and wellness and should be treated as a necessity, not a commodity.

Given how crudely offensive it was, the reaction to the Zapiro "dick" cartoon has been surprisingly muted. No doubt, this is in part due to everyone being "penised-out" in the wake of the Brett Murray affair. After all, what more is there to say on the subject? Another reason, perhaps, is that at least Murray's work, mediocre though it was, represented a bona fide attempt at political commentary through an artistic medium and as such created a genuine intellectual space in which serious discussion could take place. With his latest offering, by contrast, Mr Shapiro merely came across as a spiteful, attention-seeking schoolboy who finally went too far, and even his many supporters seem disinclined to come to his defence.
It all reminds me a bit about the bread-throwing incident in Herman Charles Bosman's semi-fictional prison memoir Cold Stone Jug. In summary, this begins as a spontaneous mass protest against bad prison food, with inmates hurling their bread through the grille into the hall below. Thereafter, there is much heated debate among the prisoners as to which of them was the first to throw his piece of bread and thereby instigate the memorable demonstration. It is generally agreed that either Alec the Ponce or Bluecoat Verdamp should get the credit. While this controversy rages, a third convict named Winslow, anxious to boost his own standing, tries to spark off a second such demonstration by throwing his bread into the hall a second time. On this occasion, however, no-one follows his example, making him look exceedingly foolish (and also resulting in his being severely disciplined). Zapiro's dick-too-far cartoon, given how everyone is by now heartily sick of debates around the president's dangly bits, was similarly ill-timed.
One of the more interesting comments elicited by this affair appeared in a Numsa statement condemning the cartoon and read as follows: "We can come to no other conclusion, but to accept that some White progressives of yesteryear have become racist and colonialist in their outlook since the advent of our new democratic dispensation". The reference obviously includes Zapiro himself, who gained his "Struggle" credentials during the 1980s.
It is indeed quite striking how bitterly many former progressives — and contrary to what Numsa says, they are by no means all white — have turned against what was once regarded as the party of liberation par excellence. Underpinning this to a large extent is simple disillusionment, given how more difficult it is to deal with disappointed hopes than if one's expectations had been more realistic.
When the ANC Centenary Flame roadshow came to Johannesburg last month, the theme for one of the days was "celebrating the contribution of white democrats". The day culminated in a short ceremony at the Great Park Synagogue, hosted by the SA Jewish Board of Deputies. The board's national director accepted the symbolic hand-over of the Flame on behalf of the Jewish community and Rabbi Dovid Hazdan paid tribute to the ANC for the central role it had played in bringing non-racial democracy to South Africa.
Agreeing to host the event was not a straight-forward decision for the SAJBD. As a strictly apolitical body, it could not be seen to be endorsing any particular party, let alone one that today carries with it so much negative baggage (not least of which is a foreign policy that is clearly inimical to Jewish interests). At least a degree of fall-out from the general Jewish community was expected, although this never happened in the end.
I was in attendance at the ceremony, and was unexpectedly moved by it all. From the solemn march of the military escort into the synagogue, through to the short dignified speeches and the actual passing over of the Flame, I was conscious throughout of what the ANC had achieved in its first hundred years. It was to this proud record that we were paying tribute, and we were remembering, too, the many great people of yesteryear whose heroism had made it all possible. For all his shortcomings Jacob Zuma, who spent 10 years on Robben Island and another 15 years in exile, was one of them.
Then was then and now is now. The ANC cannot count indefinitely on retaining the loyalty of its supporters because of its past achievements, and its present-day failings are seriously undermining that legacy. That being said, criticism, even when necessarily robust, should remain within the bounds of basic decency.

Virtual Reality: Does It Have a Place in the Marketing World?
Digital marketing is a world that is constantly evolving. The more we experiment the more doors open to us, leading to innovative and extraordinary campaigns and results. For the past few years virtual reality has been on the horizon, with many larger companies dipping their toes into the prospect of virtual reality marketing. This novel approach is reported to be highly effective, with the VR industry predicted to take off exponentially in the coming decade.
Benefits of VR:
The benefits of virtual reality marketing seem to grow by the day, offering an impactful, memorable experience to users. As the technology becomes more accessible to the public, the realm of possibilities for this industry just keeps on growing, with companies such as HBO, Toms, and Mercedes already utilising the upward curve of this trend.From engaging younger audiences, to using virtual reality technology to teach and inform the public, the benefits seem to be versatile and malleable to each unique campaign. We have pulled together a selection of great virtual reality marketing campaigns, run by industry leaders across the world, to offer you an insight into exactly what is successful when it comes to this approach.
Engage a younger audience
As industries continue to evolve, appealing to a younger audience is becoming more and more important. Virtual reality marketing is a great way to engage young adults, as millennials are notorious for technology adoption.In 2016, Mercedes US used virtual reality marketing to engage millennials, hoping to boost their sales to a younger generation. Working with renowned Youtuber Kelly Lund and his dog Loki, Mercedes created a 360 degree virtual reality video of the pair's trip to the snowy mountains of Colorado. The two minute film featured Mercedes' up and coming 2017 GLS sport utility vehicle. The contemporary cast and the fun image of the brand helps to engage both their existing audience as well as a newer, younger crowd.
The success of the campaign speaks for itself, with over 40% of the Mercedes' US site visitors fall into the 18-34 age bracket. The videos have been viewed collectively over 4 million times across various platforms, and continue to be watched by potential customers.
Immersive education
Virtual reality technology has been used to educate users by various companies, using the immersive platform to communicate a story on a deeper and more meaningful level. The New York Times used VR technology to carry out their 'The Displaced' campaign. This was not aimed at selling a product, but rather it was used to educate the public on the impacts of war on people in different countries. In 2015, The New York Times distributed over 1 million Google Cardboard viewers to their Sunday home delivery subscribers, alongside the release of a virtual reality film. By appealing to the curiosity of human beings, The New York Times managed to educate individuals beyond the standard news story, letting users see and feel far more than they could do before.
Another example of this comes from the shoe company, TOMS. TOMS created a similar campaign, aimed at educating customers about the TOMS process, and who their shoes were helping across the world. In their flagship store in Venice, California, TOMS created a virtual reality 'giving trip', where customers could sit next to the shoe section and experience a trip to a remote village in Peru. This offered a powerful message to users, showing them that their purchase makes a difference to those worse off than themselves. This emotional, memorable virtual reality campaign worked wonders with taking people closer to the ethos of the brand. It is also a great way to close sales, with customers feeling more invested in the cause after taking part in the virtual reality campaign.
Give people access to things they would otherwise have missed
We have all felt the disappointment of missing out on tickets to see our favourite band, clicking refresh on our browsers until we can't feel our finger tip, only to be told that it's too late. One of the major benefits of virtual reality technology is that we can experience events we otherwise may have missed. Back in 2014, Topshop capitalised on this concept, offering a handful of competition winners the opportunity to watch their exclusive fashion runway show during the London Fashion Week from their flagship store in London.The event saw 100s of people turn up to experience the show, and it won several awards for being the best virtual event of the year. This is a great example of a brand using virtual reality technology to offer customers something desirable and exclusive. Topshop were the first company to offer this type of experience using the Oculus Rift, and what a great way to start the virtual reality adventure.
The future?
In 2015, the market for virtual reality products was valued at $1.37 billion, however this is expected to soar, increasing to $33.9 billion by 2022. This expected rapid growth can be attributed to consumer interest, which is very much fuelled by marketing companies experimenting with interesting and new campaigns, showcasing their clients in a whole new light.
How will virtual reality technology impact the way we go about our day-today lives? Virtual reality products offer a whole new window of opportunity for a wide range of industries. With virtual reality gaming already taking the world by storm thanks to the commercial release of the Oculus Rift earlier this year, who is to say when this evolution will stop? As the marketing techniques used by leading businesses develop, we are in a position where we have to hit the ground running in order to keep up with the frontrunners in this new age of marketing.Did this article get you thinking? Why not take a look at our other blog posts to learn more about the digital marketing world.

Curvy women… some of us love our curves whilst some us have just a bit too much of it. I should know as I am one of them:)
Well, whatever it is, we should all just embrace it!
Hey there Fabulous…
Go with the flow
Being a curvy woman can sometimes make clothing choices quite difficult.
We don't want to hide our curves but we also don't want to emphasize the wrong areas.
For me, my hips have always been my "focus area"
For you it could be coming out of pregnancy or overindulging just a bit too much.
If you are someone just looking for a smart "tummy tuck" then these are my two strategies…
Flow with it
Here, fabric is your friend!
Always choose clothing with a fabric that has a drape and flow to it.
Structured or clingy fabrics do not flow easily and tend to accentuate
areas we don't need any more of.
Apart from that, clothing "hugging" you in the wrong areas could make
you look more bulky and boxy than you actually are.
The right drape of fabric will "catch your curves" in the right places and
create balance to your body shape.
Printed Pretty
This is one I always go back to when I see no other option.
Pick clothing pieces with prints on it. It distracts the eye and takes
away the attention from areas you don't actually want to highlight.
It is simple but very effective.

A chance to make a change
Built in the year 1961 by the German Democratic Republic the Berlin Wall has been one of the most emblematic symbols of isolation and discrimination on the base of political colours that the 20th century has ever known.
The Wall was erected at first to separate the area of the city controlled by USSR in order to block the commercial relationships between Berlin, controlled at the time by four different countries: USA, Great Britain and France on the Western Europe side controlling West Berlin and USSR controlling Est Berlin. The Wall was also meant to evidence the impossibilities to reach an agreement between USA and USSR and so to amplify the social and cultural effect of the Iron Curtain. Behind the Wall a Death Strip was settled so that every person who tried to climb over the barrier was immediately shot by military forces controlling the efficiency of the border.
After 28 years of physical and social isolation the Wall was finally crossed during a Revolutionary Wave in the 9th of February 1989, and destroyed during the following weeks. The Fall of Berlin Wall it's considered so far one of the most important historical happenings in the world's history since it symbolize the chance that Developed Countries gave to peace and tolerance to exist and a renewed will to build relationships based on mutual respect, even between countries and people from different political colors or different races and cultures.
Although the goal reached by the coming down of Berlin Wall was of extreme importance for the civilized world the matter is still very actual even in the 21st century. The existence of wars spreading in the whole world, racial discrimination still eradicated in all the cultures around EU and USA and the consequential though that the own culture and country is somehow above the others are the demonstration that human beings still have a lot of work to do in order to reach a concrete and stable peace, a tolerance based on facts and not only on ideas and nice speeches. The conflicts spreading around the globe, intolerance still existing between white and black people in USA, the discrimination of immigrants are only a part of the tension still existing between nations, but the difference between Cold War and 21st century is that nowadays people have the knowledge of what hatred can cause but they're pretending to be better than before by hiding their true feelings and problems behind a new and dangerous curtain: the indifference one.
While before knowing what happened all around the world was difficult because of a lack of communication and media, nowadays people are just pretending that everything bad happening somewhere else, and sometimes even in their own country, is none of their business.
Responsibility is definitely one of the values that humans should learn in this new historical period made of contrasts, contradictions and hypocrisy in order to avoid the repeating of past's mistakes and to overcome the most resistant walls: the ideal ones.

Rimmel Test Commercial
Tags: commercial, hopeaudikana, rimmel
On the 7th of June, I was lucky to be involved in a new Rimmel Commercial being filmed by two new up and coming directors Hopeaudikana.
The directors Ryan and Ergo were very supportive on the shoot. They had emailed me my spoken lines prior to the shoot, so I was confident in my words and this helped my nerves on set.
On the day of the shoot I was called for 11am. When I arrived they were shooting the beauty shots with the young girls. We broke for lunch and then I went into hair and makeup. The look devised for the headmistress was stern but sexy, i.e. they didn't want a battleaxe (which is why they cast me!) but they wanted a severity about the look. My hair was pulled into a tight bun and striking makeup with red lipstick applied.
I rehearsed outside with Ryan, and the producer, and last minute Ryan decided to change some of my lines. However, I enjoyed the new version of lines, so adapted quickly to the change.
First I had some shots taken with myself and the caretaker, viewing the lipstick covered mirror.
Next we moved onto the main section of my work, where I entered the toilets, revealing what had been happening to the girls. 'Girls, girls, girls,' I said, 'It's not about what you do, it's about how you do it!' The first few takes I was a little sterner, and Ryan asked me to be slightly more suggestive in my overtone. After all, I was a young girl once, and was making the point that with a little bit of age and wisdom, life becomes a lot more exciting! We did some more takes and then moved onto my last shot section.
Here the camera followed my legs and watched me walking across the room. I believed that this section would be later used to show me approaching the room and the girls with the sound of footsteps added in post.
At 11pm the wrap was called. It had been 12 hours of excellent direction, brilliant crew and a great first professional experienced commercial. Ryan commented afterwards how professional he thought I had been, and how pleased he was with my look and my actor's talent. I was incredibly chuffed!
I had a great experience at my first commercial shoot, with brilliant support from the directors and crew around me. Although I was extremely knackered at the end of the day, I was enthused with wondering what the finished product would look like.

What is significant?The former Kongwak Co-operative Butter & Cheese Factory complex, constructed in four stages between 1896 and 1941, at 1486 Korumburra-Wonthaggi Road, Kongwak.
Why is it significant?The former Kongwak Co-operative Butter & Cheese Factory complex is of local historical, aesthetic and architectural significance to South Gippsland Shire.
Historically, the complex demonstrates the importance of the dairying industry to the development of the Kongwak township and district, and is important for its ability to illustrate in one location the key phases of growth that occurred from the Federation to postwar periods. It includes the 1941 cheese factory, which illustrates the change to cheese production that occurred as a result of World War 2 and is believed to be the only surviving example of its type in the Shire. (AHC criteria - A.4, B.2 and D.2)
Aesthetically and architecturally, the 1941 cheese factory designed by TC McCullough is a locally rare example of the art deco/moderne style, which is expressed in a spare, but powerful way. It is the superior interwar factory in the Shire, and the use of such a progressive commercial styling demonstrates the importance of the dairying industry at that time. (AHC criterion - E.1)
