The At the Table with the Slavs project includes:
first world monograph,
an exhibition of the same name and
events such as tasting of dishes from the book, diplomatic receptions, book presentation at book fairs …
At the Table with the Slavs in various forms presents, in one comprehensive volume, selected characteristic dishes of 13 Slavic countries.
Through the rich tradition of culinary cultural heritage with recipes for three selected dishes representing each country, this first joint presentation of Slavic culinary art in the world with exceptional photographs and short introductions to the gastronomy and culinary tradition of each country reflects the similarities and differences that distinguish the Slavic culinary identity and the identity of more than 300 million Slavs across the world.
"Most countries are becoming aware that the food is a part of both their national identity and international image. This has brought about new respect for food and local products, marked by a return to local foods with new twists. It was cookbooks that have saved the recipes from the past from quick oblivion. Their key role is to transmit the intangible heritage of humanity from one generation to another, as recognized by UNESCO."

Celebrating a wealth of flavourful traditions
The cuisine of Belarus has a lot in common with Polish and Lithuanian cooking traditions, but has been influenced also by other Baltic, Slavic as well as Jewish and Germanic cuisines. Another strong influence were the Lithuanian (Lipka) Tatars, whose cooking relied heavily on flat breads and pies with different fillings, mutton and vegetable dishes.
A blend of so many different traditions, Belarusian cuisine is one of the most diverse in the region, but offers, despite similarities with other cooking traditions, a variety of original dishes. Historically, different trends could be observed in Belarusian cuisine, with each social class developing its own gastronomic tradition.

The ethnic diversity that characterises the country is reflected also in its culinary tradition.
The staples of Bosnia and Herzegovina's cuisine are light dishes, moderately seasoned with a variety of spices and cooked in plenty of water. Popular ingredients include vegetables (tomato, onion, potato, garlic, squash, cucumbers, spinach, cabbage, beans, peppers and similar), mushrooms, milk, sour cream or pavlaka and plums as the most typically used fruit. Muslims cook meat dishes with beef and lamb, while other ethnic groups use pork as well. The most representative are unarguably grilled meat dishes such as čevapčiči, pleskavice and sudžuk (spicy beef sausage).
Dishes:
Japrak / Stuffed Vine Leaves
Bosanski lonac / Bosnian Pot Stew
Tufahija / Walnut-Stuffed Poached Apples
Bulgarian cuisine is tasty, spicy and an excellent match with Bulgarian wines. It employs large quantities of quality meat, especially lamb, and fresh, flavourful vegetables. Bulgarian salads are an essential part of the so-called "Bulgarian diet". Served as starters, they are often accompanied by rakija (rakia), a Bulgarian version of slivovitz plum brandy. Bulgarian salads are both hearty and large and can be enjoyed as a meal in themselves. Some of the most popular Bulgarian salads include shopska salad (vegetables with Bulgarian white cheese), snezhanka (cucumbers, walnuts and garlic with yoghurt) and kyopolou (roasted pepper, eggplant, lots of garlic and parsley).

Croatia is where Central European and Mediterranean gastronomic traditions meet the ways of the Balkans, so it comes as no surprise that the country's gastronomic map is divided into ten regions. The capital Zagreb and surroundings offers delicacies representative of other Croatian regions as well as international mainstays. The culinary tradition of Slavonia is defined by smoke-dried meat products, freshwater fish and sumptuous desserts. A blend of Mediterranean, Oriental and Continental traditions, the southern part of Dalmatia with Dubrovnik ranks among the best cuisines in the Mediterranean. Lika is famous for river fish and none more so than the trout. The Kvarner region is the home of shrimps and a thousand and one ways of preparing them. Of all Croatian regions Istria has the most successfully developed high-end cuisine and has integrated it well into its tourist offering.

The Czechs like to describe their cuisine with the words of the good soldier Švejk: "It's heavy, exhausting, but so tasty!" While the Czech culinary tradition developed under the influence of its neighbouring countries the exchange went both ways, with the Czechs contributing mainly desserts and cakes (such as marble cake – bábovka – and dumplings – knedlíky) to the wider Central European region. Agriculture (cereals, legumes, vegetables) and livestock production (cattle, pig, sheep and chicken farming, milk production and the larger dairy industry, eggs and honey) are the cornerstones of Czech culinary fare. There is also hunting (wild game from both field and forest), fishing, foraging (fruits, mushrooms, wild honey, herbs and similar) and to a smaller extent also foodstuffs introduced from other countries.

The Adriatic on the one side and the continent on the other definitively shape the character of Montenegrin gastronomy. Situated virtually at the entrance to the Adriatic Sea as part of the larger Mediterranean, the country with its rugged mountains and rich valleys in the hinterland offers myriad culinary delights, where Mediterranean elements blend with Central and Eastern European influences, completed with a touch of the Turkish cooking tradition. Montenegrin cuisine offers delicacies like njeguški pršut (Njegoš smoked ham), plevaljski sir (cow cheese from Plevlja), and kačkavalj cheese made from sheep milk, cow milk or both. Njeguški pršut is the culinary contribution of the village of Njeguši at the crossroads of the Mediterranean and continental climates, where this marvellous smoked ham is still made the traditional way.

Macedonians certainly know how to enjoy their food. They have turned eating into a special ritual and North Macedonia into a land of full flavours and aromas. The country's warm climate is the result of the Mediterranean currents flowing through the country via river valleys. The land, with its fertile soil and a wealth of sunny days (up to 280 per year) makes North Macedonia rich in fruit and vegetables, mountain herbs, lake and river fish, rice, mutton, veal, pork and poultry, milk and dairy products, game, grapes, walnuts, chestnuts, almonds and last, but not least, tobacco.

Poland's diverse gastronomy developed at the crossroads of old trade routes between Europe and Asia, through contact with neighbouring countries (Russia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Germany, Czech Republic and Slovakia) and under the influence of ethnic minorities that have lived in Poland for centuries (e.g. Jewish, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Lithuanians). The quality and substance of Polish cuisine reflect the fact that a quarter of the country's considerable population depends on agriculture and livestock production for a living. Typical staples include sauerkraut, beetroot, cucumbers (pickled cucumbers, for example, are one of the symbols of Polish cuisine), swede, potato (the town Podlasie is known for its potato sausage, aka kiszka ziemniaczana), cream and other dairy products, dried meat, mushrooms, fruit (apples), honey, meat, poultry, game and fish.
Żurek / Polish Sour Rye Soup
Pike à la Polonaise
Mazurek / Polish Easter Cake
The proverbial Russian hospitality is best reflected in their custom of greeting arrivals with an offering of bread and salt, two staples on every Russian table. Having conquered French and other European cuisines already in the 19th century caviar is probably the most famous Russian dish.
The "ritual" of eating caviar starts with a shot of vodka after which a thin toast is offered with butter and a slice of lemon to go with the caviar. Cooking in Russia is not something to be taken lightly. No meal can start without zakuski (starters), which consist of cold snacks (caviar, salmon, sturgeon, porcini, pickles, Russian salad, venigret, marinated or grilled fish and similar) and are followed by a warm or cold soup. Russian menus feature a host of soups, which are one of the staples of the country's cuisine.

Soul food is probably the term that best describes Serbian cuisine, so it is hardly surprising that it was chosen as the slogan to promote the country's gastronomic flavourful identity. Diverse landscapes and manifold historical influences have come together to create a colourful palette of foods, dishes and flavours. Serbian cuisine has also adopted many elements from the neighbouring Mediterranean (especially Greek and Turkish), Austrian, Bulgarian and Hungarian traditions. Known for their enjoyment of both cooking and indulging in good food, Serbians have preserved many an old recipe that is integral to their heritage of culinary culture. Serbia is divided into four main gastronomical regions: (South)Eastern and Southern Serbia, Central Serbia, western Serbia and Vojvodina, each further characterised by local differences and curiosities.

The culinary cultural heritage of Slovakia is divided into three regions: the mountains (Trenčín, Liptov, Orava, a part of the Gemer region, Spiš, Šariš and northern parts of Zemplin); the lowlands (Záhori, Žitný ostrov, the Nitra region, Abov; and the southern part of Zemplin) and the area in between (Hont, Zvolensko, a part of the southern Gemer region, Novohrad). Up until the 1950s people in the mountain region still cooked mainly with vegetables and dairy products, while people in the lowlands also used meat. In all three regions food consisted mainly of what could be produced given the natural conditions. Vegetables in general are widely used in Slovak cuisine as well as freshwater fish and the inevitable desserts. These feature the notable and protected walnut rolls called bratislavské rožky, which were granted Traditional Specialties Guaranteed status by the European Union and are listed also in international dictionaries of gastronomy.

Slovenian cuisine and gastronomy are largely a reflection of the country's geographical position at the crossroads of European Alpine, Mediterranean and Pannonian regions, which has exerted particular influence on its cultural and economic development. Many innovations in the country's culinary tradition can be traced back to the days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but the first cookbook in the Slovenian language saw the light of day during the French occupation, in 1799. Further innovations appeared after
1918 and 1945, when Slovenian cuisine adopted and adapted recipes from the Balkan region. The 1960s saw the arrival of the Italian pizza, which soon gained popularity in the region. In the 1980s Slovenians started to rediscover their gastronomic heritage, which gave rise to the publishing of many new culinary books that had a significant influence on contemporary cuisine and eating habits.

With its exceptionally fertile soil and mild climate with abundant rainfall Ukraine has developed into the granary of Europe, which has had a profound impact also on the country's food culture. Trade ties with other countries paved the way for the introduction of certain plants from east and central Asia, such as melons and eggplants.
Ukrainian cuisine relies heavily on vegetables, fruit, wild or forest fruits, honey, potato, cereals, cabbage, peas and beans, beetroot and sugar beets and pork. There are several regional variations of Ukrainian cuisine, stretching from Bukovyna to the Dnieper region.
The most important, indeed world famous among Ukrainian soups, is borscht. Known in Russia, Poland, Moldavia and Romania it is considered an original Ukrainian national dish.

Forum of Slavic Cultures Wound Up Its 15th Year of Operation
The Forum of Slavic Cultures wound up its 15th anniversary year with a social event featuring a number of high-profile guests. The event was organised in cooperation with the Higher Vocational College for Hospitality, Wellness and Tourism Bled, Dr. Janez Bogataj, Bled Municipality and Bled Culture Institute.
The beginnings of the project date back to the year 2013 when the initiative for the project on the wealth and diversity of flavours handed on to us by the Slavic cultures came from Andreja Rihter, the Director of the Forum of Slavic Cultures. She presented the idea to Prof. Janez Bogataj, one of the world's foremost experts on Slovene and Slavic ethnology, with a special focus on the culinary history and modern trends.
In the process of creating the project, the embassies of all Slavic countries in Slovenia were consulted. The embassies' staff confirmed Bogataj's selection and offered many useful comments and guidelines once they had considered all of the sumptuous flavours of the dishes collected in the project.
The book in English was published in 2015 and in Slovene in 2017. An eponymous exhibition was premiered in Milan during the Expo 2015 and was later displayed in Östersund/Sweden, Sarajevo/Bosnia and Herzegovina, Radlje ob Dravi and Bled/Slovenia.


The notions around cybersecurity are deeply influenced by the visual associations available on it in the public sphere. The existing imagery on cybersecurity usually consists of stereotypical visual elements such as a silhouette of a man, binary codes, locks, etc. The dark colour palette in these visuals primarily comprising shades of blues and greens adds to the masculine imagery. The conception of the term is limited by these images. The Centre for Internet and Society hence, plans to engage with the design community in order to examine, explore, and expand this visual narrative of cybersecurity. CIS is organising a workshop on the 15th of November, in collaboration with a design collective in order to brainstorm ideas on creating illustrations for cybersecurity that shift the focus from coding to the human aspects.
Presently, the visuals suggest only data breaches when it comes to cybersecurity. Several nuanced concepts such as the implication on more vulnerable populations are not reflected in the images. The illustrations can also present the different stakeholders in the cybersecurity ecosystem. The workshop would be directed at generating more dialogues on cybersecurity through visuals.


In 2013, inflation and a credit crunch had construction cranes standing eerily still in Mumbai. Will 2014 mark India's return?
By August of last year, the Indian economy — a star of the developing world — was in a crisis. The rupee had plunged 25 percent against the dollar. Credit was evaporating. The price of diesel was soaring, nearly crippling a country dependent on it.
Remarkably, by November, economic vitals stabilized, and by the New Year foreign investors had returned. Experts are now optimistic that 2014 will mark India's comeback.

If a mattress store can be a bike friendly business, any business can. We shot this interview last year for another project, but unfortunately it didn't make the cut. Loathe to have this great interview and footage languish in the digital darkness of a hard drive, I cut together a short profile on Michael Hanna, owner of the The Mattress Lot.
His message of cyclists are regular people really resonated with me. Too often, I feel judged when people find out I ride a bike for transportation. And I love it when businesses let me lock up inside when they have a small lobby. It's such a treat.

Q: Unexpected behaviour of skimage.measure.LineModelND I get a very unexpected result using skimage.measure LineModelND. It is not remotly close to a least square solution.
Here a code example showing the problem:
import skimage.measure
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

#create some data
x = np.arange(0,100,0.5)
y = 5 * x + 20
yNoise = y + np.random.uniform(low=-30.0, high=30, size=y.shape)
#Add some really bad data points
numOfBadData = 50
badDataIdx = np.random.choice(np.arange(y.shape[0]), numOfBadData)
yNoise[badDataIdx] = 0

data = np.vstack((x,yNoise)).T

#least square
p = np.polyfit(data[:,0], data[:,1], 1) #p = np.polyfit(x, yNoise, 1)
lineX=[np.min(x), np.max(x)]
yLeastSq = np.polyval(p, lineX)

#fit using LineModelND
model = skimage.measure.LineModelND()
model.estimate(data)
modelPredictY = model.predict_y(lineX)

plt.figure('Data compare')
plt.clf()
plt.plot(x, yNoise, '.g', label='data points')
plt.plot(lineX, yLeastSq, color='red', label='least square solution')
plt.plot(lineX, modelPredictY, '-', color='blue', label='LineModelND')
plt.legend()
plt.show()

Giving:
OutputImage
I understand that the polynomial fit is taking the distance parallel to the y-axis, which is not the same as using the perpendicular distance as in lineModelND. Never the less I expected something close in this example.
Any idea why those two methods are giving very different results?

Home / Holiday Packages / Sapa / Sapa Vietnam, impression in natural and human!
These patterns are still mysterious about their meaning, yet prove the existence of ancient people and rich culture of this place. Heading towards more 2 km, tourists can reach the Heaven Gate – the only spot can be reached by a built road to open a view to Fansipan Mount and to the rice field valley. Ham Rong is a historic site and emplaced with many plants and flowers, especially many endemic orchids.
Giay people's "Roong Poc" is celebrated to aspire for fruitful harvest and harmonious weather for cultivation. "Tet nhay" (Dancing Festival) of Dzao people is also a special treatment to those who are interested in discovering ethnic culture. Sapa is also well-known for Cho Tinh (Love Market), a place for ethnic people to socialize and seek for their perfect match. It is organized only on Saturday night and has become a typical trait of this small town. Trekking tours are usually organized to some ethnic communities to visit these people including trekking through Giang Ta Chai village of Red Dzao, Cat Cat, Sin Chai villageof Mong, Ta Van village of Giay people.
Furthermore, because of its comfortable climate, Sapa Vietnam is a paradise of subtropical fruits, flowers, vegetables and other agricultural products. Especially, peach, plum, roses, salmon, sturgeon are the specialties of this productive land. In spring time, the blossom of wild cherry, plum-trees and flowers which become a picturesque scene will definitely fascinates anyone coming here.

As an NYPD officer, Benjamin Stone is married to his job, determined to clean up the drug-infested streets. His partner, Rob, always has his back—except when Rob and his girlfriend, Andrea, play matchmaker at his expense. On Ben's birthday, they're at it again. Andrea's friend is exactly Ben's type, even if he stubbornly will never admit it. But it's not the lithe brunette's looks that intrigues Ben; it's the hurt in her eyes.
Ella Parker is bright, beautiful, kind—and, thanks to one horrific night, severely damaged. She'd rather be training for her black belt or watching TV in her favorite pair of pajamas than be dragged out on a blind date. Sure enough, Ben swaggers into the club, locks onto Ella, and claims he's not interested—despite the irresistible chemistry between them. So Ella decides two can play at that game. But when her dangerous past comes back to haunt her, Ben will break all the rules of seduction to keep her safe.

To me, there are two main differences : The layout, and the safety factor.
With a bus, you've essentially got the full length of the body for living space. Get a 40-foot bus, and you've essentially got an 8x40 rectangle to play with. You can move around in that rectangle at will, at any time. It's all the same space. You might normally be wearing a seatbelt in a designated seat, but you could take it off, wander back to the bathroom, grab something from the fridge, etc. etc. Everything is one room.
There's also the safety factor - with a bus, you should be safe anywhere in the body in an accident. Bus bodies are built to carry people inside. Box trucks aren't. I'm sure its possible to build a body that would be considerably more durable and safe then the standard cargo box, it's just a question of where you want to spend your time - building the outside, or building the inside.
After that, I think the levels of customization are about the same.
There is far more to crash safety than just the body. The interior matters a great deal too. If you're not strapped in place properly with a 3 point (or better) seat belt, you're likely at risk of being a projectile too. I don't think many(any?) of our conversions take that sort of impact into consideration when building them out.
I have to say, the first bus I fixated on was a 2007 C2 with the MB engine and hydraulic brakes. I'm really glad the skoolie community steered me away from that disaster (I suppose it at least had the air-ride rear suspension). It helped that one Thomas mechanic I met in person told me he wouldn't take a C2 for free.
The best online info about bus reliability is School Bus Fleet. There's a forum there and you can find out what real drivers and service folks say about various buses. The C2 and Vista are two that get a lot of complaints on there.
Thats kinda where i was torn, i was looking shorter but yes a 30ft bus you get all that 30ft plus whatever you want to add on. the box truck only has soo much frame rail to work with or even safely extend.
i would do a cab pass through of some sort, which now you have to look at how bad its gonna leak. With the truck its a 4 door so benches 6 seatbelts, lets call it 4 swivel seats at the end of the day your back to factory saftey specs. a bus would need seating factored in for sure. i see the bus more unsafe then the truck all said and done.
a truck ovb you set whatever ceiling height. but were talking building a house from scratch, whats the workload vs a gutted bus and a roof raise? almost further ahead to start from scratch.
but has anyone left the roof and done maybe a simple bump up/out for the roof above the main area, lets say the kitchen. notching out where the roof starts to curve and framing a 90* for 5-8ft? hallway/passage side vs over the cooktop?
Many of the contributors are bus fleet managers. Probably one of the best sources for first hand experience with modern buses.
i keep thinking how much easier it would be to do a box truck. its like starting from scratch with a fresh set of directions vs picking up someone else's project with half the directions missing. but then yall wonderful people bring up good points i wouldnt think of until i get there, like the fact that the bod sits up so high. thats a good point! you would need a solid set of stairs and thats alot of up and down and limited access to any storage at the top of your build. even simple things like an awning or deck would be feet higher than the tallest skoolie.
A lot of box trucks have real chintzy fiber roofs. I don't dig that much.
