Last Saturday, we started the search for our wedding venue. We've been pouring over magazines and websites for the past few weeks trying to determine at what venues we would like to schedule meetings. There are so many options in Nashville, but many of them look like rustic barns. While a rustic barn is beautiful, it isn't exactly the feel we want. We keep saying that we want the wedding to be modern Nashville meets timeless Paris. It is also important to us that the venue be beautiful as it is - we don't want to have to bring in tons of flowers, candles, props, etc. to make it beautiful.
The #1 choice for us that fits those criteria is Cheekwood Botanical Gardens. Last May, we took a date night out to check out the Plensa exhibit Cheekwood was hosting. We spent the evening walking the grounds, admiring the beautiful art, listening to live Spanish guitar music and just enjoying being together. We both walked away from that night feeling like Cheekwood was the place where we would eventually want to be married. There is something so romantic and peaceful about the property. It's only about 10 minutes from downtown Nashville, but it feels like a world removed from chaos and noise.
Despite all its beauty, one of our concerns with Cheekwood was budget. Would we able to afford this gorgeous property on our own? We are paying for the wedding with no help from parents or family and are adamant about not going into debt over a wedding. We are trying to walk through this entire process with slow intention and patience, being prepared to make decisions on where we can save money as dictated by a budget. Still, we felt that we had to schedule the meeting, tour the property and get the information.
We knew going into the meeting that we wanted the reception to be in the Frist Learning Center courtyard. The only drawback we could see with this choice is that we would need to pay for a separate space for the ceremony. Little did we know, the Frist Learning Center has a separate ceremony space that is included with the rental for courtyard. The ceremony space is hidden away on the other side of the building with a stunning open law and staggered stone wall. The staggered stone wall would make a perfect background for the wedding party - monochromatic and masculine, but still beautiful with touches of shrubs and wildflowers. Behind the guest seating area, the space opens up to views of the sprawling Tennessee hills. There is also a small cocktail hour space where guests could mingle before heading to the reception courtyard post ceremony. We were very excited to know that this budget friendly option existed and it started to feel like Cheekwood is a much more realistic option that we imagined.
In addition to the space itself, Cheekwood has a lot of other pros. Our preferred caterer Chef's Market is on their suggested vendor list, but you can use any caterer. All alcohol has to be provided by Cheekwood, but their bar set-up cost is very reasonable. There is plenty of space for the wedding party to get ready in close proximity to the ceremony location. There are plenty of bathrooms for guests - no porta potties needed. You get access to the grounds the entire day of ceremony for photos. The hours for vendors to get in and out are great - no need to have to rush to get everything torn down before midnight. The only con that we could find is that they don't really have any audio/visual resources. We would have to bring that in on our own, which isn't really a huge deal, but some other venues in town do have more in that department. Maybe we're romanticizing it, but the pros far outweigh the con here! We would like to say a special thanks to Taylor Guardino at Cheekwood for taking time with us and answering all our questions.
Just got done touring Cheekwood as possible wedding location...we loved it! Cheekwood Special Events & WeddingsPosted by Becoming Husbands on Saturday, January 16, 2016
We are still doing our due diligence and checking out a few other places, but it's really going to be hard to beat Cheekwood! Stay tuned - we'll blog more on our next venue meeting soon!

A Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) team will assess the fire area to determine if any emergency stabliziaton treatments are needed to prevent further degradation of natural and cultural resources.
Closures: A closure order for the following trails in the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness was issued on 9/22/2017 as the trails are impassable or dangerous to hikers and horsemen due to damaged bridges and other structures: Carpp Lake Trail # 8110, Highline Trail # 8111, Falls Fork Trail # 8029, and Middle Fork Trail # 8028. A closure order with map is posted on Inciweb and the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest webpage.
Safety Concerns: Safety of the public and firefighters is always a primary concern.

Forest visitors should always remain alert to the conditions of the trees and the weather as snags (dead standing trees) are prone to fall without warning.

Bruno Antonio thinks this is interesting:
Rather than altering the declared grain to be something unnatural such as one row per payment method per product on a POS transaction, you would likely capture the payment method in a separate fact table with a granularity of either one row per transaction (then the various payment method options would appear as separate facts) or one row per payment method per transaction (which would require a separate payment method dimension to associate with each row).

We'll ask you to send in a qualifying form, and then we'll send you our most recent Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which explains the initial investment, your costs and fees, and all of the details of owning a Dessange franchise. You will have a chance to examine our business practices on paper, as well as talk to our existing franchisees about their experience.
If we're both still interested, we'll help you schedule a visit to our flagship salon. You'll meet the team, tour the salon and learn about what's at the heart of the Dessange salon. If you choose to enter into a franchise agreement, we'll get started right away on helping you hire the right staff and find the perfect site.

Bob Atkinson (BA): There's no two ways about it, to get the best value for money on your main holiday this summer head for Spain, Portugal or Greece.
All three of those economies are having a really tough time, and with the pound against the Euro being relatively steady at nearly 1.20, it's making holidays in those destinations really affordable. There are tons of offers in resorts as hoteliers, restaurateurs, shops etc all fight to get hold of your Euro spending money.
So, I would head for one of those destinations to make your money go further in 2012.
Q2 - Where is the most popular long-haul destination?
BA: Thailand is back with a bang. Despite the floods at the back end of last year, there are offers galore to the UK's number one destination for long-haul flights searches at TravelSupermarket. So, Thailand will be very big. Of course, Florida always does well as it's massive for the family market.
But over and above there, it's places like the Spanish Caribbean – Dominican Republic and Cuba – and we are starting to see more and more people go to places like the Gambia, the Cape Verde Islands, and latterly the ones that have been hotly tipped are the so called 'SLIMMA countries' - that's Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico (which is already a firm favourite with Brits on the Caribbean coast) and Argentina.
And one last one: Vietnam, which has now got new direct services from the UK. All of those are going to get a lot of interest in the press; lots of people are looking to go and there have been big increases in passengers year on year.
Q3 - I'm planning on going on a beach break holiday to Europe this summer. Where should I go?
BA: There are so many places that you can choose from for a beach holiday in Europe, but if you want to be away from the bigger and busier resorts, you can easily head into the main gateways and then find yourself going to a resort that is far quieter.
So, for instance, if you take the Costa Blanca, many people just think immediately of Benidorm, yet you could head north into places like Calpe, Altea and Avia which are much quieter, or you could head down to Torrevieja and rent one of the many apartments and villas and have quite a quiet holiday down there.
So, the key is to look at the places that you enjoy, the places that you've liked going to in the past and then look for the smaller quieter resorts that are outlying of the big, major developments, the big major draws for families, groups and for youngsters and that's when you'll find those quieter breaks.
Alternatively, go completely off-piste and go to areas that are very rarely visited by Brits. So, places like the Costa de la Luz down in Spain or the western coast of places like Portugal or even many of the Italian coasts where you can be well away from the big crowds.

The left was all over Bush Jr when they thought he was going to war over oil, but they don't care that Saudis have been made part of the trusted traveler program, in all likelihood, because of their oil.
Yes, that's right, the people who gave you 9/11 are now allowed to travel with a "jump-to-the-front-of-the-line" VISA deal that is not available to members of the EU.
In January, the Saudis were given the right to speedy pass entree to the USA but somehow the ever-vigilant lamestream media missed this.
Residents of Saudi Arabia will be given easy access to the USA without a full vetting. They won't have to go through full border control.
Congress knew nothing about this.
Just so you know, Saudi Arabia is one of the biggest funders of terrorism, when they are not demeaning women and hanging gay people. Saudi Arabia is one of the countries that finds being gay to be a crime punishable by death.
Some of the 9/11 terrorists had connections to the Saudi government which is comprised of the same people who were in power on 9/11/01 so why would we allow this?

Yesterday wasn't a huge training day but I managed to get a bit done - 90 minutes on the bike wasn't amazing but a decent session and then straight off the bike for a 5 minute (deliberately short) run which was painfree and I was finally moving at a half decent pace.
Currently hacking an old pair of shoes to pieces using a bread knife to try and make minimalist ones. They were too old to wear normally anymore but figured this might give them an extra lease of life. They look pretty sweet at the moment but unfortunately I'm not sure that wave riders were the best ones to do as the wave goes right up to the base. Can see a bit of the shoe liner through but sure that's fine.... Picture below of the shoes and the hacked remnants.
(Yes that is my bread-knife - sorry Jan!)
Just been watching the European Team championships and raelly impressed with fellow Beagle James Shane's run and also Andy Vernon in the 5k with a very gutsy effort. Espana is probably the number 2 5000m runner in Europe so no shame to lose to him and Lebid is obviously a legend when it comes to European running.
Right - got Hayley over so that's all I can post for the moment.

As day follows night
Reading stories like this makes me worry about our future politicians.
Mr Lewis, who is believed to studying in London, told friends on the Facebook website that he planned to attend a party dressed as Madeleine McCann.
He said his costume would include "pink pyjamas, a teddy bear and a vial of fake blood".
After the party, Mr Lewis used the website to tell another Conservative Future member that "there was a brief moment when I thought I might have gone too far with elements of the costume but it was OK".
Not, I hope you realise, dear readers, because I am a prude. Far from. I giggled seductively when a friend in Brussels went to a fancy dress party as a paedophile by turning up with a bag of sweets. No, it's because the wee mites have so much still to learn when it comes to not being a complete fool in the eyes of the general public.
Given the British public's adoration for an ourpouring of faux grief over someone they've never met (See 'Princess of Wales' for another example) it was hardly likely to be a clever move by Mr Lewis who, given his former position in Conservative Future, probably wanted to be an MP by the time he was 27, like so many who went before.
And then I remember the politicians we have now, and I realise that nature is just running it's course and ensuring that the politicians of tomorrow will be no better or worse than the politicians of today.
It's just a shame that they're supposed to be in charge.

When I saw the Autumn/Winter mini catalogue one of the first stamp sets I had to have was Eat Chocolate. I am a chocolateholic so it is really appropriate for me. Would you believe though that I only inked this stamp set up last week? Just as we only have a week left before this mini catalogue finishes and this stamp set may be gone forever!!!
I thought I would make a little appreciation gift for my regulars last week and this is what I gave them.
Thanks for looking.
'Til next time,

|We have just returned from a week's vacation, and while we had intended for things to be low-key this year anyway, they will be more so since the close friends we usually celebrate with are going through very trying times this year, and will not have much to celebrate. We are just going to try and be supportive and make the most of it. I probably won't even put on a tree and the giving of small gifts seems very futile.

|I hear ya, Hetty,
I celebrate for my niece and nephew and a few close friends. Small gifts, handmade usually, couple of gift cards. For my niece and nephew ... they have been around the world a few times each and don't want for anything. I know they appreciate that I remember them for ALL the holidays and Christmas and birthdays ( go card shopping once a year for ALL the holidays). Nothing big, just a card or small change. I can't compete with riding an elephant in Cambodia or snuggling with pandas in a Chinese, Bejing panda nursery
At my age it's better to give.....or just remember. Oh and I do call a lady I've known for about 40 yrs from Holland who lives in San Jose, CA every Christmas. Love catching up with her!

|I understand that. What can you really give someone who has enough money to indulge themself? Same thing with my daughter. I wanted to find a certain kind of antique for her, but am not gettering anywhere on that. She's really special. They'd like me to go visit, but it's hard to go anywhere anymore.

We had an extremely long day today during the World Championships Field Archery 2010. The practice field opened at 8 in the morning for those that shot the first elimination round. The first match started this morning at 9. We had some overcast this morning which was well appreciated. Apparently the Visegrád area had a record high nighttime temperature this week so it is not like the mornings start of cold. The overcast helped to keep the temperature from rising too quickly. We rotated courses one more time, so every archer has now seen the three courses. There were however only 12 in each course this morning. After an hour break (during which the courses were reset) we shot the second elimination round, consisting of only 8 targets, a rule change that was put into effect last april. In my opinion that rule change did not work out that well. You gain about an hour by shooting four targets less, but by shooting four targets less, we had an awful lot of shootoffs since so many archers ended up with the same score. I estimate that took about 45 minutes or maybe even an hour to complete. One of the reasons to bring the number of targets in the second elimination round down to 8 was that time could be saved during this phase of the competition. Having seen this rule change in practice here, I think it is fair to state the amount of time saved by leaving out four targets is not that big of a difference at all.
But wait, there's more. We also shot the semifinals today. Another 8 targets where set up to decide who would shoot the gold and bronze medal matches on Sunday. A course had to be rebuild once more to be able to shoot this competition phase. The last four targets were on the side of the practice field and offered a very nice view on the field of play for the spectators. But come on, the last arrow of this phase of the competition was shot at 6:45. That is an awful long day bearing in mind that all of these archers were getting ready for the day at 8 in the morning. I spoke to a few team captains about this change and the opinion on this part of the program was very diverse. Some captains liked the fact that we are now completely ready for the finals, since only the gold and bronze medal matches remain. We had a day full of excitement. Other team captains thought the day was way too long for the archers to be able to perform well during the semi finals. I was not out there shooting arrows but rather pictures, but I could barely lift my camera at the end of the day. And sure, archers had time to rest (unlike the photographers), but it was not like one could walk back to the hotel, take two showers, have an early diner and appear for their part in the semi final at such and such time.
The plan for the final on Sunday is to have every couple shoot the four targets for their finals, and then have another pair of archers show up in the arena for their four targets. If I am counting correctly we have 22 finals to shoot. If every target takes 6 minutes to complete we have about 10 hours of matchplay with this system. I sure hope it will be quicker than that, especially since rain is predicted for Sunday.
In the meantime we are preparing for the team finals tomorrow. A part of the competition I always enjoy. A part were people root for whatever is their favorite country, and the class of the individual top athletes is nearly pushed to the background since only the flag on their shirt matters and the achievement of the team as a whole.

Environmental Values 22 (2013): 147-169. doi: 10.3197/096327113X13581561725112
Décroissance has established itself in Southern Europe as a significant and heterogeneous societal movement, which fosters a renaissance of traditional streams of thought in social and political philosophy while opening a field for new actualisations. While the term Décroissance can be traced back to an authorised translation of Georgescu-Roegen's 'declining state', the idea of Décroissance - as it is widely employed by social movements - encompasses more than the critique of GDP as a measure for well-being. It embodies a radical questioning of the way social reproduction is intended and frames a multifaceted vision for a post-growth society. The aim of this paper is the reconstruction and critical examination - from the point of view of social and political philosophy - of the main conceptual roots of Décroissance and its visions for a radical transformation of society.

My morning started out a little rough. I was alone and hiking on a dirt road. It was hot and I missed my friends.
But soon my attitude was changed.
Still cold and oh so refreshing.
How does the trail know when I am most in need of a random act of kindness?
I started to enjoy my morning hike and began to recognize the cool breeze that was taking the edge off the heat.
I walked along the aqueduct and noticed a worker riding on the side of a suburban and stepping off every few feet to check on something. As he passed, he handed me bottle of water and continued his work without even pausing to be thanked.
I walked amongst a thousand wind turbines, blades slowly turning in the sky.
I met a couple of older thru hikers today. OMW (Old Man Walking) is 70 and CK is a tender 67. CK is originally from Seoul, Korea and joked about how his body does not want to move as fast as it used to so he gets up earlier to compensate. I asked him what time he got up this morning and he said "2 am."
I have so much to be thankful for out here. I have good health, good company, and a great support network of friends and family. I am a blessed man.
I camped atop a hill overlooking the windmills, thinking of the ones back home in Iowa that I would encounter on my drives up to Okoboji.
Oh Okoboji, I will miss seeing you this year but I take comfort in knowing that half of my family is enjoying your company this week.

General confidence vs romance confidence, is there a difference?
Yep there is. The difference is, one requires positive/ healthy self concept, in general and the other requires believing that you are worthy of being had and believing that you're a catch.
Many people have high self esteem and low romance esteem, while others have high romance esteem and low self esteem. One can also have a combination of both, low self esteem and low romance esteem or high self esteem and high romance esteem. I'm here to talk about people with low romance esteem. When you have low romance esteem , it doesn't mean that, you don't necessarily feel good about yourself. In fact , all that means is that you don't value yourself and or you don't honor your worth. When you don't have high dating esteem, you will not value yourself enough, ever! You won't have standards and you will allow yourself to be manipulated out of them once you set your standards. You have to know your worth, otherwise noone else will and people will be able to talk you out of your value.
A person with high romance esteem will value themselves and know that they are worth being with. You are worth all of your standards, so stop punishing yourself.
Feel good about yourself and have high romance esteem, so that you too can attract a beautiful relationship.
Do not, I repeat, do not take scraps from a man!

I first came across a moon cup whilst browsing through a new age shop in Brighton, UK several years ago. I naively asked the shop assistant what it was and when she described it's use to me, I was disgusted at the idea of getting so intimate with my menstrual blood. I'll back track a little to explain my disgust…
When I was 14 years old and a year into my period starting, my mother gave me a box of tampons to use. Bless her heart, it didn't occur to her to explain to me how to use them, and was instead told, 'it's about time you start using these things'. I thought they were just supposed to rest inside the outer labia and couldn't understand why they weren't very absorbent and definitely not very comfortable. For fear of embarrassment at discussing anything to do with my lady bits, I turned to the instructions and then worried about whether I might loose the thing up inside of me. It took me a while to get the hang of it…
In fact it was only when I discovered the self-applicator tampons that I finally figured out how to insert tampons properly. According to the marketing, their design made it really easy to insert the tampon and even better, I didn't have to go anywhere near my own blood.
So when the lady in the shop in Brighton introduced me to the idea of a soft silicone cup that I insert into my vagina to collect my menstrual blood and then rinse out to reuse again and again, you can just imagine the look of horror on my face. After blushing profusely, I thanked the kind lady and very quickly walked out of the shop.
Fast forward a few years, an increase in my blood loss at periods, an increase in period pain and pretty much misery every single month and moon cups were once again introduced to me. This time it was at a showing of The Moon Inside You after which there was a discussion by Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo. The idea of honouring, welcoming and enjoying my period was presented to me. A suggestion that my period might even be the thing that helps me navigate my life, showing me when I'm heading in the wrong direction with pain or providing me answers to questions when I bleed on them.
To say my mind was blown is an understatement. I sat in a room with a girl that described how she learnt to embrace her period by painting with her own menstrual blood for an a-level art assignment. At first everyone (boys and girls included) were disgusted by her idea and then soon afterwards were instead fascinated by what they saw.
I was horrified to discover the harmful substances that are put into tampons to make them white and absorbent and can cause all kinds of complications and in some cases tragedies. The moon cup was presented as a safe and loving solution that enables the blood to flow out more easily. A lot of menstrual pain comes from stagnation of the blood when it can't flow easily and tampons restrict this flow. Using a moon cup helps to create a better flow for times when using a sanitary pad may not be an option.
If a moon cup was going to help ease my period pain I was prepared to try it. I purchased my first one and also bought a range of natural, non-toxic sanitary pads (I've since discovered cotton menstrual pads) to bleed into when I didn't need the use of the moon cup. Within the first two cycles of using it I was amazed at the difference! The cramping and pain eased significantly and in the process I became far more connected to my bleed. I was able to monitor the flow and quality of the blood coming out to get a handle on what my cycle was like. Going back to using pads after over a decade was the strangest experience. I could actually feel my body releasing the blood and this in itself was a beautiful reminder to slow down and acknowledge the process that my body was going through.
With practice, I learnt how to insert the moon cup without leaving the bathroom looking like a crime scene 🙂 After each cycle I boil it in a pot to sterilize it and store it in a little chitenge pouch to remind me of my Zambia roots.
The first time my daughter came into the bathroom while I was removing my moon cup she was curious about the sound. I hadn't intended to have 'the period' talk with her so young and didn't really know what to do apart from tell her it's my moon cup. After hearing the advice of a friend with a son of similar age I realised that the sooner 'the talk' happens, the better really. Her son comes into the bathroom and just acknowledges that his mother is bleeding. A normal and very natural process with no other emotion attached to it.
It made me realise that my mother taught me in the best way she knew. She came from a generation of anything in 'that department' not really being discussed. My mother had to figure it out on her own, just like my aunt from the same generation who thought she was bleeding to death when she got her first period. I shared this blog post with my mother to run it past her first and funnily enough, my memory of the whole scenario wasn't the same as hers. Apparently she kept trying to talk to me about the birds and the bees and I didn't want to hear it. There you have it – there's her truth, my truth and then there's something in the middle 🙂
I think so much shame and pain has resulted from this lack of information being shared in some cultures and I feel grateful to know differently and to have an opportunity to raise a daughter that can be empowered by knowledge.
So if you haven't tried a moon cup I really encourage you to go out and buy one. There are several different makes on the market and you can usually pick one up from a natural foods store and if you live in Turks & Caicos Dr Beate Gray stocks them. MoonCup in the brand I first discovered and I know that there are others out there like Lunette.
As always, I love to hear your thoughts on posts so please help create a discussion below.

Commemorating the first anniversary of Fidel Castro`s death; Fidel, the Granma and Robben Island
By Cde Blade Nzimande
Next month, November 2017, marks the first anniversary since Comrade Fidel Castro died on 25 November 2016. As the SACP said in its statement released on 26 November 2016 after receiving the sad news of the death of the former President of Cuba, historic leader and Commander of the Cuban Revolution, Cde Fidel belonged to the rarest breed of finest revolutionaries. Fidel made an invaluable contribution in the struggle for the emancipation of humanity. Human history will be incomplete without the recognition of his colossal contribution in the struggle for freedom, for a world free from exploitation of one person, group, class, or country by another. The good leadership example set by Fidel in the struggle for universal emancipation of humanity from exploitation and oppression is monumental.
The revolutionary life of Fidel Castro
As the SACP we wish to express our gratitude in having been asked to present this lecture on Fidel a year after his passing away. Fidel was born in Biran, Mayari, Cuba. Fidel was born in a well off family. Therefore he is one of the best personifications of class suicide. He hated inequality and poverty precisely because of his background. He knew what poor people were going through. He also knew that Cuban independence existed in name only, as Cuba was made a backyard of the ruling class in the United States collaborating with the domestic, thoroughly compradorial bourgeoisie. That is why among other things he joined the progressive student movement when he reached university.
Many Communists, like Fidel, understood that the struggle for socialism is not an abstract struggle, different from the lived experiences of ordinary people. It was through the struggle against dictatorships in Cuba, the struggle for national sovereignty that shaped Fidels socialist outlook. It was this socialist outlook that in turn shaped his revolutionary approach to the burning national tasks facing the struggle in Cuba. Fidel was brave and had endless optimism about the struggle, sometimes pushing immediate actions that seemed impossible. For 82 young rebels to be cramped into such a small boat, that is the Granma, on 26 July 1953, to launch an attack on the Moncada military garrison hoping to lead a popular uprising against Batista, illustrates this point.
In the late 1990s I was amongst the comrades who accompanied Fidel to Robben Island. Given Fidels bravery I was somehow surprised by his shock on how small our former President Nelson Mandelas cell was. He wondered loudly how a tall person like Mandela could fit in such a small cell. Perhaps just like others wondered how Fidel and the other rebels fitted in the Granma. Maybe there is poetic connection between the Granma and Mandelas cell, symbolising preparedness of revolutionaries to face whatever conditions. This determination is of course captured in Fidels historic speech, entitled "History will absolve me", which reflects his optimism and determination to succeed even under the most adverse of conditions.
When Madiba and Fidel met again in September 2001 in Madibas house at Houghton in Johannesburg, I remember very well Comrade Fidel asking Madiba this same question. I could see the sense of shock when looking into that cell, but I was at the same time sensing some relief on his part that because of, amongst others, the victory of the Cuban and Angolan forces in Cuito Cuanavale, Robben Island was no longer a prison but a museum symbolising the victory of progressive forces over the forces of evil!
I was truly honoured for Comrade Madiba to invite me to the September 2001 meeting. This was a private meeting between Madiba and Fidel at his Houghton home. Fidel had come to South Africa to attend an international meeting. On inviting me over the phone, Madiba joked that he was not feeling safe to meet a leading Cuban Communist on his own, so I better join him so that in case of danger his own fellow Communist could protect him. Were this true I do not know how I was going to do that because I noticed that day that both these tall men were of the same height! Where would I have fitted in that equation!? But on arriving at Madibas house he changed the story and said to me and Fidel that he invited me because he wanted to show Fidel that it was not only Cuba that had Communists but South Africa too! I really enjoyed that conversation between these two giants which lasted for over an hour.
Much as Fidel was part of a collective, it was his vision and courage that also inspired his fellow commanders in the ultimate triumph of the Cuban Revolution. What we can learn from this is that defending ones national sovereignty is a crucial weapon in the struggle for national liberation and reconstruction and development of ones country. Democratic national sovereignty is an indispensible weapon in the struggle against imperialism and its domestic collaborators. This was one of Fidels enduring legacies.
It was Fidels correct understanding of national sovereignty that motivated Fidels internationalism and the role played by Cuba under his leadership in solidarity with the liberation struggle in Southern Africa. Therefore the struggle for the right to national self-determination and national sovereignty need not be a narrow nationalistic struggle. It is a crucial component in forging international solidarity. It is only truly sovereign nations that can enter into enduring and principled internationalist solidarity. That is why the first attack of imperialism against weaker and developing countries is against their national sovereignty.
Our international solidarity
The SACP expresses its message of solidarity with the Cuban people in the face of the continuing imperialist offensive by the United States as now led by Donald Trump. We recall the more than 600 assassination attempts at Fidels life by the imperialist United States. We do so with an overwhelming joy for his survival from each and every one of those deadly assassination attempts. It was after surviving all these and most probably other attempts that Fidel died at an old age of 90. While his contribution as an activist, soldier and leader of the Cuban Revolution is monumental, Fidel worked within the principles of class, national and international struggles and collective leadership. It is therefore very important to express our sincere gratitude for that outstanding role and how it benefitted many struggles in our continent.
I want to express our appreciation to the Cuban people for staying the course. It is now over half a century since the success of the Cuban Revolution on 1 January 1959. Relentless imperialist aggression mainly from the United States has failed to impose regime change in Cuba. Imperialist machinations have been failing for over half a century to destroy Cuban peoples determination to pursue a development path of their democratic choice, socialism.
The determination of the Cuban people and their resilience made Trumps predecessor, Barack Obama, to realise that, as he said, it was foolish to do one and the same thing over and over again and hope to achieve different outcomes. Obama did not discard the United States regime change agenda in Cuba. What he did was to change tactics and accept dialogue. Subsequently he relaxed some, and therefore not all of the United States draconian measures against Cuba.
When the normalisation of relations between Cuba and the United States was announced, the SACP welcomed this development but also condemned the United States for maintaining its economic blockade against Cuba. I want to make use of this opportunity to reiterate our Partys condemnation of both the old and new measures of economic blockade against Cuba by the United States. I also want to take this opportunity to reiterate our Partys call to the United States to lift, unconditionally, the entire economic blockade against Cuba. In the same vein, the United States must evacuate Guantanamo Bay, a part of the Cuban territory. The United States must leave Guantanamo Bay in the good hands of the Cuba. The United States has turned Guantanamo Bay into a detention camp to commit human rights violations, including some of the worst forms of atrocities that human society has ever come across.
Taking our cue from Fidel, we must deepen our international solidarity with the people of Cuba. In order for all of humanity to realise freedom we must intensify revolutionary solidarity with each other and strengthen our struggle against foreign as well as other forms of dictatorships.
As Southern Africans we are saying thank you to Fidel and the Cuban people as a whole for defeating military attack by the apartheid regime on the people of Angola. The defeat of the racist regime of South Africa in Angola by Cuba under the leadership of Fidel paved the way for the liberation of the whole of Southern Africa, including our democratic transition in South Africa. Thousands of Cubans gave their lives to defeat the racist regime of apartheid South Africa in Angola.
To the Cuban people we say, we are aware that when you left Angola after the historic victory you did not demand either gold or diamonds, and you did not take anything whatsoever but you left only with the corpses of your fallen combatants. We have many of their names inscribed here at the Freedom Park. We will forever be indebted to you for the march to liberation in our region and country, the march that you left behind for us to defend, advance and deepen. You left us behind in order to defend our national sovereignty and not sell it to the highest bidder.
The internationalism and contribution by the Cuban people and Revolution in our liberation struggle in South Africa, Southern Africa and the African continent is unparalleled in many instances. Whether one talks about the training of health and other professionals, engineers and technicians, or solidarity interventions to deal with the breakout of contagious diseases such as Ebola, Cubas record is outstanding in Africa and other parts of the world. Meanwhile, Western imperialist states that have exploited and under-developed our continent, and by these means accumulated massive resources, continue to create serious problems.
Why the offensive against Cuba?
Cuba is a threat to imperialism not because of its size, geographical location or population, but because of its impressive achievements. What constituted the threat to imperialism is the very success of the Cuban Revolution. Another enduring achievement of Fidel is his success in uniting the Communist Party of Cuba, its members and leaders, thus laying the basis for uniting the Cuban people. This is a lesson as South Africa we need to learn from Cuba, that unless we unite our Alliance and movement our revolution is liable to be rolled. When I attended Fidels funeral in Santiago de Cuba I was struck by the overwhelming unity of the Cuban people.
But this is not unity based on repression as Cuban detractors always claim. It is unity based on the achievements of the Cuban Revolution, especially in the fields of education and health.
Cuba is among very few countries in the world that have wiped out illiteracy, thus laying the foundation for a highly educated population. Its achievements on education are being shared by students from the rest of the world studying in Cuba. Cuba has opened its universities for students from Latin America and the African continent, and even some from the United States. South Africa itself was and continues to be a beneficiary of Cuban education. Under Fidels leadership, and especially during the apartheid era, many exiled South Africans studied in Cuba. Currently we have thousands of South African students studying in Cuba. The single largest component of South African students in Cuba is being trained as medical practitioners.
Cuba has phenomenal achievements in health. Many of its positive health indicators are far better than the United States and other developed countries. Cuba has one of the worlds most advanced centres of genetic engineering and biotechnology. It has developed medicines and registered patents including in the United States. Cubas international solidarity includes thousands of medical professionals who serve in other countries, including in South Africa.
There are a number of other notable achievements by Cuba that should serve as an example to other countries. Were it not for the economic blockade imposed by the United States, Cuba would be a relatively well developed and more prosperous island. It is not socialism that is pushing Cuba down. Socialism is pushing Cuba up! It is imperialism that is pressing Cuba down!
What lessons can we learn from Fidel and Cuba?
Our country has made notable achievements under the leadership of our movement since our April 1994 democratic breakthrough. We built millions of houses allocated free of charge to eligible working class and poor households. We massively expanded electrification and access to education at all levels. There are many other important achievements that made a big difference in the quality of life of our people.
However, we are facing serious challenges underpinned by persisting colonial and apartheid legacy that is rooted in our economy and worsened by capitalist crisis. These challenges include inequality, unemployment, poverty, widespread corruption and social insecurity in our communities. Even if we have not reached socialist construction like Cuba there are many lessons we can learn from Cuba. The lessons include the necessity to unite the motive forces of our revolution in driving the second, more radical phase, of our democratic transition.
Another lesson is the need to fight incessantly against all forces and tendencies that want to undermine our democracy and its further development. These tendencies include the phenomena of state capture and factionalism. We cannot blame imperialism if we ourselves open the door to it by disuniting and factionalising our movement. Often imperialism precisely exploits disunity amongst revolutionary forces. It is important to close ranks and build principled unity.
Fidels definition of revolution remains a source of inspiration to us as South African Communists. This is what Fidel said in defining a revolution, which is an inscription at the place of internment of his remains in Santiago de Cuba:
Revolution means to have a sense of history; it is changing everything that must be changed; it is full equality and freedom; it is being treated and treating others like human beings; it is achieving emancipation by ourselves and through our own efforts; it is challenging powerful dominant forces from within and without the social and national milieu; it is defending the values in which we believe at the cost of any sacrifice; it is modesty, selflessness, altruism, solidarity and heroism; it is fighting with courage, intelligence and realism; it is never lying or violating ethical principles; it is a profound conviction that there is no power in the world that can crush the power of truth and ideas. Revolution means unity; it is independence, it is fighting for our dreams of justice... and for the world, which is the foundation of our patriotism, our socialism and our internationalism.
We agree. In the true South African culture we say: "Siyavuma!"
Long live the revolutionary legacy of Cde Fidel Castro, long live!
Long live the internationalism of Cde Fidel Castro, long live!

Vietnam`s increasing role in Asia-Pacific
Vietnam Focus
Vietnam will be hosting the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation forum next month. The summit will involve a series of meetings from 5-11 November 2017 in the city of Da Nang. Delegates representing 21 economies, including major economies such as the United States, the world`s largest national economy, China, the world`s second largest national economy, Japan and Russia will take part in the forum. Other Asia-Pacific economies include Australia, Canada, Chile, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, The Philippines and South Korea.
The hosting of this economic development and co-operation summit by Vietnam points to the increasing importance of the role played by Vietnam`s political economy in the Asia-Pacific global region. This is the second Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation forum to be hosted by Vietnam since it became the full member of the 28-year-old biggest regional economic group in November 1998.
The first Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation forum to be hosted by Vietnam was in 2006. This was preceded by the country assuming the role of the Chief Secretariat of the economic group from 2005-2006. Next month`s Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation forum will look at strategies to promote sustainable development, innovation, inclusive growth, among other objectives of the meeting.
Vietnam achieved a gross domestic product or economic growth of 6.2 percent in 2016 and has the same or greater outlook for 2017. With a market position of over 90 million people, Vietnam is also very important for African economies. The country had more than R325-billion committed to it in 2016 in the form of foreign investment in manufacturing, food processing, electricity generation and mining. This represented a 45 percent increase compared to 2015. In addition, Vietnam is expanding production in sectors such as agriculture, fisheries and construction.
Countries such as South Africa should be advancing national production development and diversification to radically reduce persisting high levels of unemployment. There could be important lessons to learn from Vietnam, including from its robust shipbuilding industry and the ocean economy.
Bilateral relations and co-operation between South Africa and Vietnam recently included, that is, in 2010, the establishment of the Vietnam-South Africa Business Council. It is crucial for working class organisations such as the South African Communist Party (SACP) to deepen their relations with Vietnam`s governing party, the Communist Party of Vietnam, and build and deepen ties between the two countries` labour movements as well as improve people-to-people contact.
South Africa and Vietnam share important historical similarities, including the struggle against imperialist domination. This common history should be modernised through increased economic co-operation, investment and sustainable development.

Identity Evropa activists unveiled a banner today at the Jackson Street bridge in Atlanta, Georgia as part of a nation-wide outreach campaign. Identity Evropa is the fastest growing Identitarian organization in North America and has established chapters in every major metropolitan area in the United States. Mass legal immigration in America is the result of the failed 1965 Immigration Act that has been extraordinarily harmful to our nation culturally, economically & politically. The American people are being replaced in the nation their European ancestors founded and built. We refuse to be replaced by policies that exploit people from impoverished, non-European nations as cheap labor for globalist greed. This message is to the politicians that turn a blind eye or actively promote Euro-American dispossession: YOU WILL NOT REPLACE US.

Audi Silver Arrows at Goodwood Revival
Auto Union
Audi Silver Arrows at Goodwood Revival
Matt Hubbard
September 11, 2012
Audi is taking four of it's glorious Auto Union Silver Arrows to the Goodwood Revival from 14-16 September.
Alongside the Mercedes Silver Arrows of the 1950s the Auto Union cars will treat the fans lining the course to demonstration runs over the three days of the Revival. Nick Mason, Jacky Ickx and Frank Biela will drive the Audi cars.
On each day Audi will give a demo run of replicas of the Auto Union Type C from 1936 and an Auto Union Type D Dual Compressor from 1939. Also on show will be "Karassik models" that are largely made from original spare parts - a Type D from 1938 and Type D Dual Compressor from 1939. The latter two cars were restored in the early 1990s and this will be the first time they have been seen side by side in public.
Paul Karassik is an American car enthusiast who tracked down the two original chassis' in Russia and added original engines he had found separately. He handed them over to Crosthwaite and Gardiner to restore - thus were borne the "Karassic models"
The Silver Arrow models built by Mercedes Benz and Auto Union dominated the racing scene from 1934 until 1939 - reaching speeds of 180mph. Which is frightening when one considers the lack of crash protection available to the drivers - and the drum brakes.
One of the Auto Union drivers, Bernd Rosenmeyer, became the first man to hit 400kmh (248.5mph) on an ordinary road in a car - the Type C Streamliner - in 1937. In 1938 he attempted to go faster but at 273mph his car was caught by a gust of wind and swept it off the road - killing him.
The specifications of one of the cars - the Type C - are so impressive they are worth quoting:
6 litre V16
Single camshaft
2 x Roots superchargers
513bhp at 5000rpm
5 manual gears
Top speed of 211mph
Fuel tank capacity 200 litres
Weight 824kg

Experience of Bangalore INIFDian Anurag Pareek & Mohana V As Assistant Fashion Designers At 15th Edition of BFW Winters 2016
I've been attending Bangalore Fashion Week the 2nd time which is the 15th edition recently took place & this time it was Fall/Winter Festive Collection at the Sheraton Grand Hotel in Bangalore.
Unlike the last season, this time it was something more for me than just attending a Fashion Week. I hereby got an opportunity to work as an Assistant Fashion Designer with the Label "KOENS COUTURE" by NUPUR SAHOO with my batch mate Mohana Vysyaraju & another Assistant Designer for the Label Koens Couture, Shrikant. Before going through my experience I would like to mention, Bangalore is easily one of my favorite cities. Even though I know it very well, there is always something new to discover: store, designer, the city itself as a Fashion Hub & much more. Bangalore Fashion Week is a bi-annual Fashion Week held in Bangalore covering the South sector out of the two, following North: India Fashion Week, Delhi & Lakme Fashion Week for Central Sector in Mumbai.
The Label "KOENS COUTURE" by Nupur Sahoo is Orissa's well known Fashion Brand. It is known for its Real Handcrafted Designer Garments Specializing in Ethnic Wear in the Womens Wear Criteria. The Show for "Koens Couture" was Scheduled on 6.00 PM, 6th August 2016.
Not to mention, but, my experience also included some of the backstage work as well. Being a Designer Assistant in the fashion week. We first started hanging the garments in a very uniform manner. Many were of the light weight to heavy weighted Lehengas. Once we started unfolding the garments, it was not just a dream come true moment for me, in fact when it caught my eyes over the beautiful motifs, prints, colors, textures, the fabric, its quality & whatnot to mention, it bound me speechless.
A look at the collection says it all, until unless you are a Fan with the craze for Ethnic Wear. The Second Image: When we got our Tags. Koens Couture is a handicraft fashion hub where they represent handicraft and fabrics of all state of India. Promoting hand embroidery, fine zardozi, aree work. Also weave and manufacture different variety of silk. They also put the Indian mythological art, Museum art, manuscript motif and Odisha's silver filigri motifs on the Sarees & lehenga.
Around 28 Garments were showcased making a Collection Over the Runway in the Fashion Week. Some of the images Photographed while working before the show:
It was not just all about the work, we infact attended all the shows possible within the 4 days of the Fashion Week. Lots of Fashion Designers, Models, Celebrities, Media, and well known Personalities & the audience highlighted the show by lots of cheers & attention. Fashion Designers were at their best as always with their collection & so were the showstoppers & other Models. These were the most Glamorous possible hours of our work.
We also ended up discussing about the make-up for the Models which could actually reflect their look with the touch of our Indian Ethnic Garments on the Ramp. There was this fitness check of Garments to fit the Models. Backstage work was actually long enough to consume the time & so was relaxing after a long waiting & minor alteration requirements, especially the last moment alteration & final fit test work which also was inclusive of the steaming work. We later arranged the Fashion Accessories with the Garments for the models. In between we also ended up discussing about the trends, ethnic wear, and textiles. We spoke to the Designer about her Startup of her label KOENS COUTURE & her inspiration behind this… for which her husband Dr. Kailash Biswal (Doctor & Intensivisit (ICU) by his profession) was the backbone.
KOENS COUTURE also has INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS from The United States of America & the British Isles.
(TOP IMAGE) Fashion Designer: NUPUR SAHOO, with her Collection "PRIYAMBADA". On the Runway of BANGALORE FASHION WEEK, 15th Edition at the Hotel Sheraton Grand Bangalore.
And thus, there was 7th of July, the last day of Bangalore Fashion Week for the fall/ Winter Season. And so, we did Had a Real Good Experience working with the Fashion Designer for BANGALORE FASHION WEEK as Designers. "It was not Work we did but it was more a hobby where we enjoyed working".

PHILSOPROP*: The Homeopathic Remedies for the 5 Ills of Society is a set of elixirs for social ailments based on the premise that "like cures like" (similia similibus curentur).
Shortly after 9/11/2001 I found a bullet on the ground in NYC and began wondering if I could create a remedy for violence by making a tincture from it? The recipes for the other remedies came to me shortly thereafter:
ALIENATION: Empty (according to homeopathy, the most dilute remedies are the most potent).
VIOLENCE: Dilution made from bullet soaked in distilled water.
GREED: Dilution made from coins soaked in distilled water.
VIOLENCE: Dilution made from bullet soaked in distilled water.
GREED: Dilution made from coins soaked in distilled water.
CONSUMERISM: Diluted drop of bottled water from Wal-Mart.
DETACHMENT: Miniscule dose of superglue (this is a "dialectic remedy", the ailment being countered by its opposite. I wonder if, like especially diluted remedies, paradoxical ones have special potency as well?).
* Philosprops are objects (including booklets, posters, garments, sounds, and videos) that are intended to demonstrate a concept or spark a dialog. Please see PHILOSOPROPS: A UNIFIED FIELD GUIDE for more information.
Sets of the remedies are occasionally available in the Philosoprop Pop-Up Shop.
