Hi. I am looking to build a 42 square double story home in Melbourne. I would like to do it all in tiles for the wet areas and floorboards for the rest. Is this practical as I am yet to see a display home or newish double story without carpet in at least one room. I would use large rugs in the living areas which will make this an expensive exercise. Love to hear your experience.
Re: No Carpet at all?
A similar post to this came up the other day. I pretty much have what you're suggesting, except for the main bedroom which is carpeted. Having tiles is practical in the work/wet areas as they are so easy to maintain, whereas boards with rugs adds warmth in the living areas.
I have a real allergy issue with carpet, and I find my life so much easier with hard floors.
For the last 7 years we've lived in a place with floorboards everywhere except for the tiled wet areas. They are a little too fragile for the kitchen (drop a glass & it dents) so I've always regretted that aspect.
We've just bought another place that has carpet, and the first thing we're doing is ripping it up. The lounge & bedrooms will be floorboards, while the hallway & kitchen have already been tiled.
I think it's great. They aren't that cold in winter. We only have a large rug on the loungeroom floor, and a couple of other small ones around the place.
I say go for it, you won't look back.
My parents house is a two storey. The entire ground floor has no carpet - just tiles in the wet areas and floorboard everywhere else (including bedrooms). Upstairs they have carpet. But I think that was more of a cost factor more than anything. And quite possibly the noise issue, too since the upstairs was a later addition.
My dream house would just be in tiles/floorboards (the house I'm building has tiles/carpet) so I say, go for it! It would look awesome!
When I think of Melbourne I think COLD! Quality carpets have a number of positive qualities that I would want if I lived in a cold climate. Qualities such as thermal and acoustic insulation. Besides that, carpets are much more friendly and comfortable. Personally, I feel a house is not a home if it had only hard floors. There are places where a hard floor is appropriate and there are places where a nice carpet is the sound choice.
Carpets are hard to look after!.........WRONG!
(Choose the right carpet and have a good efficient vacuum cleaner and maintenance program and your carpet will take less work to care for than your hard floors). A little commonsense and prompt attention to spills & accidents will keep things looking good. This is EASY when you know how!
They can harbour allergens ONLY if poorly maintained with poor quality vacuum cleaners, but have been PROVEN to positively benefit indoor air quality, as they act as a sink or filter to collect allergens and contaminants from the air. With a good HEPA vacuum, these allergens are then removed from the home. Proper professional cleaning according to Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3733) will ensure that the carpets are kept healthy.
Carpets are more forgiving when something (or someone) falls, and more friendly for anyone with back troubles etc.
Carpets provide comfort and warmth that other surfaces don't. (Thermal insulation can save you $$$ in heating costs).
If building a new house, tiles can crack as the concrete pad settles. I've seen this many times with new homes. Even older tiles can crack due to any movement in sub-surface.
Tiles suffer from commonplace grout problems. The grout (and the tiles) do soil and require cleaning. Maintenance costs are often much higher than carpets. (I charge about double $ per sq/m for tiles as carpets).
There are many types of timber floor installations. Quality timber floors are VERY EXPENSIVE, use up a valuable natural resource, are high maintenance, and refinishing is a big and costly job. As beautiful as they are, timber floors are highly OVER-RATED.
For the record, I have sheoak timber floorboards at home, along with highest quality woven wool carpets in most rooms, and tiles in wet areas. I could go on, but you get the idea.
In my profession, cleaning carpets for 24 years, (and also tiles & stone) I see every day the maintenance issues people have with their floorcoverings. People regularly spend big $$$$ on ill-informed choices with little to no real appreciation of the implications of their choices.
I have a similar set up at my home. Where my floor is completely tile for the wet areas and then I have hardwood flooring for the rest of the home. Carpets can be a good option though if you want something cozy and forgiving. It's easy to care for and great for young kids to play on.
Is the price reasonable for carpet replacement?


We take photos like this one to remember and respect what we have seen, not for any other purpose.
One of the most interesting things about traveling the world is learning its history. While visiting art museums and staring at beautiful monuments is fun, there is also a very dark past in just about every place you go.
When traveling around Europe for example, there are signs of tragedies everywhere. Events like the Holocaust still loom large, but so many local and regional events are fresh in people's minds as well.
The old Nazi concentration camp in Niš, Serbia.
My reference to the Skull Tower comes from our time spent in Niš, Serbia. We stopped there for the better part of a day on our way from Skopje, Macedonia to Sofia, Bulgaria. Niš is a modern industrial city full of ugly communist era apartment blocks and a lovely fortress that sits on the banks of the Nišava River.
Apartment blocks in Niš, Serbia near the Skull Tower.
Approaching the building that contains the Skull Tower.
The Skull Tower sits in the middle of a park surrounded by the previously mentioned apartment blocks. It was originally constructed by the Turks from the skulls of Serbian rebels in 1809 following an uprising. Over the years the tower has been enclosed inside a church and many of the skulls have disappeared.
To get to the Skull Tower we took a public bus well out of the center of the city. When traveling through this part of Europe in March you tend not to run into other tourists, so we were pretty much on our own. Thankfully we found someone who was able to ask the bus driver to let us know when to get off. After about 20 minutes we walked up to the church, paid the modest entry and saw the skulls.
The entrance almost looks like it could be part of an amusement park ride.
Many of the original skulls are missing, but the Skull Tower is a powerful reminder nonetheless.
For some people this building may just represent a long forgotten war, but for the locals it is important. It represents their struggles to gain freedom from the Turks and to become their own nation. For me, it represents one of the almost countless sad moments in the history of mankind.
We probably only spent 5-10 minutes at the Skull Tower, but it was enough to give us some connection to the place. Following our visit we headed back to the center and rode a fake train through the fortress at sunset before eating at a cafe and spending the night on blue plastic seats in the train station while waiting for a 3am train to Sofia.
Taking the fake train around the beautiful old Fortress in Niš, Serbia.
The glamarous life of a backpacking family. Sitting at the train station in utter discomfort waiting for a 3am train! Thankfully we stayed at the beautiful Radisson Blu Sofia the next night, which kind of made up for it!
During this trip we were in Central & Eastern Europe for almost 3 months. On trips like that you don't always have days packed full of amazing sights. In fact, many times you visit rather normal places like Niš, Serbia in transit from one place to another. On this day we honestly didn't do much, but we taught our son a valuable lesson and forged a deeper connection with Serbia and its people and with humankind as a whole.

White House Unites with eSports Athletes to Promote Health Care
By Turner Minton | February 13, 2015 | 10:10am
Games Video Esports
The deadline to sign up for health insurance before facing penalties is Feb. 15. In a push for last minute sign-ups, the Obama administration is recruiting professional gamers to promote the Affordable Health Care Act. The public service announcement is a collaboration between HealthCare.gov, the eSports League and Twitch.
In the video, Randal Holcombe, Joshua Gray, Geoff Robinson and his wife Anne Prosser Robinson share their experiences of struggling without health insurance. The White House's sudden interest in these personalities has further encouraged the legitimacy of gaming as a profession. Although the partnership may seem unusual, everyone involved seems to be pulling out all the stops to reach out to a younger demographic. In a blog post, the White House stressed the importance of eSports as a vital part of the changing media landscape:
"Over the last decade, eSports players, commentators, tournaments, and online streaming services have gained a following that rivals many traditional sports, including more than 31 million eSports fans in the United States alone.
Today, a group of eSports industry leaders (ESL, Twitch.tv, and GEER) have collaborated to launch an effort encouraging gaming audiences to visit HealthCare.gov and sign up for an affordable health plan before the Feb. 15 deadline.
Their unprecedented effort to reach this important and growing audience stems from the fact that nearly one in four young Americans does not have health insurance—which is a risk not worth taking."
The Affordable Healthcare Act was put in place to increase the availability of health insurance to Americans without coverage. Beginning Feb. 15, those who have not registered will face a $325 penalty the next time they file their income taxes with a total fine of $975 per household.

Sliding this four bedroom house onto the end of the garden at the clients' parents' home required some well handled geometry. The building is primarily triangular in plan: kitchen and utility along the site boundary, and living room to the garden. It is the entrance that ties them all together, set under the cantilevered first floor to which stairs lead up. Sliding panels and doors work inside and out to cleverly link and close spaces. Minimum detailing and finishes of western red cedar and dark grey render soften the whole house from the outside.

Report | September 2018
Truetzschler, a winning formula: Arisudana MD
With its focus on quality and the latest technology machinery, Arisudana has carved a niche for vortex yarns in the Indian as well as global textile industry.
Arisudana Industries Limited manufactures specialised range of 100 per cent polyester yarns as well as polyester rich blends with other synthetic or cellulosic fibres like acrylic, viscose, bamboo and linen. They also make these blends in value-added variations including melange, fancy effects like neps, hairy, slub, injection, jaspe, etc. Arisudana also expanded to airjet spinning in 2002. Under the visionary leadership of its Managing Director, Gagan Khanna, the airjet project included Truetzschler DK-780 cards and HSR 1,000 drawframes.
With its focus on quality and the latest technology machinery, Arisudana has carved a niche for vortex yarns in the Indian as well as global textile industry. To meet the growing demand for their yarns, Arisudana steadily increased the capacity from 1728 to 2880 positions from 2012 to 2016. They further added 1728 airjet spinning positions in 2017, which were fully commissioned in March 2018. They are producing 1,500 tonne per month of airjet yarns making them the largest producers in their field globally.
The latest expansion once again includes many Truetzschler machines: four Truetzschler blow-room lines, 16 Truetzschler TC 10 1/S cards, eight Truetzschler twin-delivery draw-frames TD 9T and eight Truetzschler finisher TD eight draw-frames.
When asked about the choice of machines for this latest expansion, Gagan said, "The polyester yarn spun on MJS airjet spinning machines is superior to ring spun in terms of pilling, hairiness, drape/fall, hand-feel, dye pick-up, wicking, fabric life, wash resistance etc.
It is also superior to MVS polyester in terms of drape/fall, hand-touch, dye pick-up, wicking, wash resistance, weak spots, etc. However, MJS machines, being high speed and zero-twist machines, require the best quality input fibre and sliver preparation machines. Hence, we decided to stick with our winning formula of Truetzschler blow-rooms, cards and draw-frames and MJS spinning machines".
He further added that "In 2002, when we were in the process of installing our first unit of airjet machines, we wanted to go for the state-of-the-art sliver preparation machinery and we zeroed in on DK-780 and HSR 1000 machines, which were the best machines available in the market. This was the beginning of our journey with Truetzschler."
Sidharth Khanna, Director of Arisudana and alumni of the London School of Economics (LSE), represents the third generation of the Khanna family in the management of the company. When quizzed about Truetzschler's technology he said "We are very happy with Truetzschler machines. The quality of engineering, self-cleaning mechanisms, troublefree working, productivity and sliver quality are excellent. Besides, our technicians find it very easy to shift from one product to the other and are able to make all the necessary adjustments easily. This is especially useful for spinners like us who are making several varieties of yarn."
Talking of his experience with A.T.E., Sidharth said that "No doubt, A.T.E. has been a good medium between us and our machinery suppliers, Truetzschler and Luwa. A.T.E. has always been supportive and forthcoming with information. It has always been a pleasant experience interacting with the A.T.E. team."
Gagan further added that the company is planning to put up another ring spinning plant and as A.T.E. represents Truetzschler, Savio as well as Luwa, it will play a pivotal role in our expansion.

This worked for Radix so I'm going to give it a try here!
I've become entranced at the thought of growing some 'edible' lupin seeds. But for some reason I can't find many suppliers of seed for cultivation, which is surprising really since they are becoming recognised as a potentially valuable new/old crop.
Can anyone direct me to commercial sources for obtaining seeds of Lupinus albus, Lupinus angustifolius, Lupinus hirsutus or Lupinus mutabilis, ideally already selected for low toxicity and high yields? Or even send me some samples? I know Chiltern Seeds are offering some but there's no indication of the provenance and I was hoping to jump straight into the sort best suited for consumption.
By the way, just in case anyone reading is wondering about the edibility of their garden lupins, please don't try them. They will make you feel quite sick.
I don't know of any commercially available sources of the Kiev variety of Lupinus albus, which is one of the most common edible varieties but I might have some ancient seeds of it lying around. I'm pretty sure I've got Lupinus mutabilis, aka tarwi as well - it's a beautiful plant. Unfortunately slugs love lupin seedlings. I think some research was being done on breeding a UK overwintering white lupin, but I don't know how far they got with it.
I wonder whether the best use might be to turn them into tempeh, seeing as they have to be processed to render them palatable. Lupin tempeh is supposed to be delicious.
I certainly will, remind you that is!
Tempeh sounds a good idea. We sometimes get them here as beer snacks or in olive mixes but never as an unprocessed dry commodity, otherwise we could plant those.
Make sure the cats don't choke!
They don't like human food at all, at least not the sorts of things we eat. Crow sometimes licks tomato sauce but that's about it. They much prefer dragonfly, mouse and baby bird.


If I file for Social Security disability now and am found to be disabled, how far back will the administration pay me?
The answer depends on whether you have Social Security disability insurance benefits or SSI. For Social Security disability benefits, they will pay prior to the application date. In fact, they'll pay up to one year prior to your application date, in back due benefits. In SSI, however, they will only pay as of the month of application. There are no retro benefits prior to the application date.

2023: Neither Tinubu Nor Osinbajo Is Fit- By Tunde Odesola
Tossed up, Nigeria's spinning politics is a coin with three sides: head, tail and middle. All three sides came into play on Friday when a photograph taken at the South-West presidential aspirants' meeting of the All Progressives Congress hit the internet with a twist in the tail.
In the photograph, some of the South-West APC presidential aspirants flashed smiles on their faces but kept bile in their hearts. They held hands out to shake but swords lay hidden within their sleeves. If looks were daggers, many would have been stabbed into shreds.
There was more peace in Ukraine than the peace in the Lagos House venue of the meeting at Marina. There was more love in Sambisa Forest, and more warmth on the ocean floor than the dubious affection displayed as Yoruba political maturity to deceive that all is well.
All is not well in the APC well. The reported refusal of the Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, to sit beside APC National Secretary, Otunba Iyiola Omisore, and Osun Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, was a testimony that the water in APC's well is on the boil.
Leading politicians at the fence-mending meeting were the chief convener, former interim National Chairman of the party, Chief Bisi Akande, and co-convener, a former Governor of Ogun State, Chief Segun Osoba.
Also at the meeting were the so-called National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu; his erstwhile godson, but today's rallying point for some disgruntled party radicals, Professor Yemi Osinbajo; Omisore, Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Otunba Adeniyi Adebayo; former Governor Gbenga Daniel of Ogun State, former Governor-turned senator, Chief Ibikunle Amosun; Governor Oyetola, Ekiti State governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi; Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Rotimi Akeredolu; Ogun State Governor, Chief Dapo Abiodun, and an ex-deputy governor, Oyo State, Chief Adeyemo Alake.
An unknown evil genius sympathetic to Tinubu had put his creative mischief to use, twisting a religious tale into the innocuous APC picture, and posted it online, setting the stage for an online war.
The evil genius had cropped out other stakeholders of the APC from the picture, leaving out only 13 cross-sectional leaders of the ruling national party. He then placed the APC picture above the timeless painting of the Last Supper involving Jesus Christ and his disciples, drawn by Leonardo da Vinci.
When the picture of the 13 APC leaders appeared online alongside the 13-man painting of Jesus and his 12 disciples, it was captioned, "The Last Supper." Subsequently, supporters of Tinubu and those of Osinbajo scrambled for the head and tail of the spinning political coin while some circumspect few made a grab for the middle.
Osinbajo's supporters, not prepared to tolerate the 'betrayal' tag being pinned on their aspirant, asked: "Who is Jesus in the picture?" Tinubu supporters retorted, "Judas knows himself."
Preferring the middle side of the coin, however, I thought the best caption to the APC picture was, "A Jesusless Last Supper," because I didn't see no Jesus at that supper, nor did I see one Judas. Remember, Judas was the treasurer of Jesus' ministry. He got 30 shekels of silver. He was a rich man. Only rich people can afford to pay N100m for presidential form.
Contrary to newspaper reports, the aim of the meeting wasn't to pick a consensus candidate. The aim was to douse the political tension among the presidential sons of Oduduwa.
Baba Akande, a staunch Tinubu supporter, strongly believes that the former Lagos governor will crush the former Lagos commissioner for justice and attorney general in a free and fair presidential primary. Akande feels the campaign of calumny between Tinubu and Osinbajo's supporters will hurt the eventual APC candidate, hence the need to rein in the warring party supporters.
Despite his obvious frailty, which he alluded to by saying the job of the president doesn't require strength but brain, Tinubu appears to have wormed his way deeper into the hearts of party leaders across the country with his stipendiary brand of politics even as the catchphrase, "Judas the betrayer," has caught on among party members.
What does a Tinubu presidency portend for Nigeria? Danger. His prebendal variety of politics will asphyxiate the political space, put public money into private pockets, and make a few overfed cronies have a sense of entitlement to national treasury, singing jeun s'oke ko tun jeun s'apo.
Tinubu's Michiavellian politics has been sustained in Lagos by the embattled National Union of Road Transport Workers, a murderous organisation that has worked hand in glove with the ruling party in Lagos State since 1999. Nigeria doesn't need such a man for president.
If Tinubu's godson and erstwhile state chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers in Lagos, Musiliu Akinsanya alias MC Oluomo, could be rewarded with the hurriedly created position of Chairman, Lagos Parks Management Committee, after being sacked by the national NURTW, lives on Lagos streets would be cheaper than dirt if Tinubu emerges as President.
Osinbajo is a hypocrite. After serving under two terrible masters, Tinubu, and the clueless retired General Muhammadu Buhari, for four terms, Osinbajo hopes to come out sparkling clean from 16 years of political muddiness. Èyàn ò tan ara è bii Bàbá Fìyìn.
Osinbajo is a sweet talker. Gold is the colour of the honey in his mouth. Gold is the colour of the political fire bellowing at the thatched House of APC. In King James Bible, Jesus says, "A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit." Therefore, how can the Osinbajo tree whose roots have drawn water from two poisoned brooks for 16 years bring forth good fruit?
In Daniel 4:14, there is an instruction on what to do to bad trees, "Cut down the tree and chop off its branches; strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the beasts flee from under it, and the birds from its branches."
Tinubu, Osinbajo's former boss, never pretends to be a saint. He neither wears a turban nor clutches a rosary. His son, Seyi; daughter and Iyaloja General of Nigeria, Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, and other family members unashamedly clutch the fattest pies in the land while hunger stalks the land. But what is Fiyin, the son of Osinbajo, doing with a big bag of dollars on the bus taking guests to the wedding of Buhari's son, Yusuf? And you think Osinbajo hasn't learnt anything from Tinubu, and Buhari whose daughter, Hanan, turned presidential planes into playthings.
Someone asked me a question about which Man of God was involved in multi-billion naira road contracts in Osun during the Aregbesola years. I answered, "I no know book o, ishh."
Another person also asked me, "Which servant of the Most High is currently doling out dollars and naira to traditional rulers, market men and women?" I replied, "If Buhari could reward the indicted, suspended and disgraced Ibrahim Magu with AIG promotion, why arrest IPOB members for calling Nigeria a zoo?"
If you think certificates or professorship confer wisdom or integrity, remember Goodluck Jonathan and receive sense. By the way, there's little difference between the way Nigerian vice chancellors and MC Oluomo think. Wives of Nigerian university vice chancellors have formed an association, it's called Committee of Vice Chancellors of Nigerian Universities Spouses, and it's solidly supported by Committee of Vice Chancellors of Nigerian Universities.
At a time when the strike in Nigerian public universities has entered its third month, the spouses of VCs are embarking on a N1.5m per person trip to Turkey to learn how to help their VC husbands build capacity. Would the husbands of female VCs also partake in this madness?
Yesterday, MC Oluomo was state chairman, NURTW. Today, he's Chairman, Lagos Parks Management, tomorrow, he will be vice chancellor and king.

FTSE 100 ekes out gains on pharma strength
Muvija M, Shashwat Awasthi
(Reuters) - The exporter-laden FTSE 100 .FTSE recovered from early losses on Monday despite a rebound in sterling, boosted by gains in leading drug stocks and as prospects for a U.S.-China trade agreement powered miners and industrials.

The blue chip index closed 0.1% higher, lagging peers on Wall Street and in Europe as a near 4% drop in HSBC (HSBA.L) after an underwhelming earnings update, and a slide in dollar earners, capped gains.
The more domestically-focused FTSE 250 .FTMC outperformed with a 0.5% rise ahead of a parliamentary vote on Prime Minister Boris Johnson's demand for a general election.
AstraZeneca (AZN.L) climbed as much 3.6% after saying a combination of its cancer drug, Imfinzi, along with chemotherapy helped curb progression of lung cancer in a late-stage study. The shares ended up 1%.
In the same sector GlaxoSmithKline (GSK.L) added 2.2% after the company said it had begun a late-stage study of its experimental antibiotic in patients with urinary tract infections and gonorrhoea.
Gains of between 1.3% and 2.2% in Glencore (GLEN.L), BHP (BHPB.L) and Anglo American (AAL.L) powered the mining sector .FTNMX1770, exposed to the international trade scenario, to a one-month high after U.S. President Donald Trump said he expected to sign a significant part of a trade deal with China ahead of schedule.
EARNINGS TARGET
By contrast HSBC shares (HSBA.L) suffered their biggest one-day loss in eight months as the bank's third-quarter profit missed expectations and it dropped its 2020 earnings target amid macro-economic uncertainties.
The update dragged a sub-index of banks .FTNMX8350 2.4% lower.
Financial companies have also had to adjust to a lower interest rate environment this year as central banks globally move to loosen monetary policies to cushion an impact from trade tensions.
To that end, markets are also keeping a close eye on the U.S. Federal Reserve's meeting this week for more support to the slowing global economy.
"We see the Fed cutting rates this week and possibly again next year, as it seeks to provide insurance against a broad economic slowdown", BlackRock analysts wrote in their weekly note.
In addition, UK firms face a lack of clarity at home as lawmakers and Prime Minister Boris Johnson feud over Brexit. Earlier in the day, the European Union agreed a three-month flexible delay to the Oct. 31 exit date.
Among midcaps, there was an 8.1% plunge in Cairn Energy (CNE.L) after the oil and gas explorer abandoned an offshore well in Mexico.
Aston Martin (AML.L), which has plunged nearly 80% from its 2018 debut, dropped 8.5% after Bank of America Merrill Lynch downgraded the stock.

I had a chance to visit Prague in November 2017. And those who have visited this city in the past will agree that it is a tourist magnet. Those taking pictures on the Charles Bridge, those rubbing the bronze statues for luck, posing against the John Lenon Wall and walking into the narrow alleys close to the Castle. You barely get to sigh and admire Prague's beauty with so many tourists around. But, if you are a runner and want to experience Prague's raw beauty sans the tourists, it is the best to run it up.
For us runners, Prague offers great opportunities to see the best sites while fitting in our exercise. It is truly lovely running around Prague's historic sites (run early to avoid the crowd), along the river, and in the city's wonderful parks. The hill up to Prague Castle is also a great option too.
In November when I visited, it was cold, windy, sometimes rainy but totally worth the run!
The Streets in the morning look absolutely stunning. But, one should beware of the speeding cars and the quick trams. Staying close to the Charles Bridge led me to the fairy tale like paths that eventually lead to the Charles Bridge. Also, crossed a couple of packed trams even at wee hours in the morning.
Crossing and running Charles Bridge several times!
The medieval bridge in the heart of the Czech capital, the Charles Bridge is an unmissable part of any visit to Prague. The best time to see it is when everyone is asleep-in the morning. Although I must admit that 7 AM on Charles Bridge was actually not as deserted of an experience as I imagined it would be. You still have a handful of photographers, morning-walk couples and a few tipsy revellers stepping out from night clubs. But, in spite of this, it is relatively empty as compared to the day time and even the night time.
A rather foggy Charles Bridge!
I absolutely adored the Letna park. This park offers some stunning views of the entire centre. If you run from the historical centre, you have to cross the Cechuv bridge and go up 200 stairs first but from then on it is fairly flat. You may meet lots of other runners here too.
Spectacular View of the city from the Letna park. Letná's elevation and location offer commanding views of the Prague Old Town indeed!
This route basically runs along the Vltava river. It is a beautiful cobbled stone path with amazing views of the river. You may also see a lot of swans swimming along in the river.
Run along the river Vltava! I got to know that the name of the river comes from the Celtic language and it means wild river. Enough motivation to run wild?
Petřín is a hill in the center of Prague, Czech Republic. It rises above the Vltava River. The hill, almost entirely covered with parks. Also, it is featured prominently in Franz Kafka's early short story "Description of a Struggle".
The Petřín Lookout Tower, which strongly resembles the Eiffel Tower, was built atop a hill in 1891. Other sights include the Rose Garden, Mirror Maze, Cathedral of Saint Lawrence, and St Michael Church. There is also a Petřín funicular that links the Malá Strana district with the top of Petřín hill. The passengers were giving stares when they saw us run up rather than taking the funicular.
This is the Memorial to the victims of Communism at the beginning of Petřín hill. It is a series of statues in Prague commemorating the victims of the communist era between 1948 and 1989.
It shows seven bronze figures descending stairs. The statues appear more "decayed" the further away they are from you – losing limbs and their bodies breaking open. It represents how political prisoners were affected by Communism.
Built as a mini version of Paris's Eiffel Tower, the Petrin Observation Tower was built in 1891!
It is a route that can be taken from below the Charles Bridge that leads up to the hill.
Taken from the Charles bridge!
A bit of Detour from Charles Bridge towards John Lenon Wall!
As you make your way back to the Charles Bridge, you can take a bit of a detour. This detour will take you past the John Lennon Wall, covered with grafitti, poems, lyrics, flowers. There are many opportunities to extend the run by exploring additional trails in Petrin Park.
Once a normal wall, since the 1980s it has been filled with John Lennon-inspired graffiti and pieces of lyrics from Beatles' songs.
A Charming Restaurant that was opening for Brekkie!!! Well, runners can be monsters on breakfast table.

Whether you are travelling for work or escaping to an exotic location for some rest or a holiday-travelling can interrupt even the most devoted runner's schedule. With a bit of planning and the right attitude, runners can maintain their training during vacation or an important work trip. In fact, running can be an enjoyable addition to anyone's travel schedule. Today, we can discuss how can you run when you travel. As they say, 'the best way to explore a new place is on foot'-running truly helps here!
With your travel research do some running related research too!
When you are doing your general travel related research about the places to visit, etc, don't forget to get a little information about running at your destination too. Search online for the websites of running clubs or running stores where you will be visiting. They may have routes mapped out and even weekly social runs that you can join.
A run in Vodelpark, Amsterdam where I saw several brands such as Adidas and Nike Running their own clubs and practice runs on weekends! I joined one such club for stretching! They were nice enough to accommodate me on that day. Otherwise one needs to register on their websites before hand! On the other hand, I knew that Vondelpark was a great place to run, hence I had booked my hostel very close to the park so that I could venture out for a run each morning.
It does like an obvious advice, but don't forget to pack running clothes as per the weather conditions of the location. So, look at the weather forecasts for your destination and bring the appropriate clothes. You don't want to land in shorts and racer back on a route with temperature in single digits. And do not forget your running shoes. I always keep some space in my bag for the running shoes and running gear. Also, tights which can be worn during a run are also very comfortable to travel in.
I flew to Reykjavik straight from South of France! And the only tights I had carried was drenched due to a waterfall visit the previous day! As you can see, I am freezing on this run! Thank god I had packed my running gloves.
Runners often boast of running in the most unique surroundings and situations. But, there are a few precautions to take any time you are running in an unfamiliar city. It's important to listen to the locals. If your hotel's employees say it's not safe to run, then don't run in that area. There's no workout that's so important that you need to risk your personal safety.
Jerusalem: There was some tension in Jerusalem at the time I had visited the city. And it was only after speaking to a few locals, I ventured out for a run the next day!
At Gulmarg, the locals asked us to stick close to the roads and not venture into the trails. Followed this advice too.
I have a tendency to get lost in new places, hence my best friend is the data that I feed on my GPS watch to take me back to the hotel. But, if you don't have one, downloading an app or two on your phone may come handy or even google maps for that matter.
Right after taking this picture, I got lost in Berlin. Just couldn't find my way back. Had to find a restaurant nearby with Wi Fi to find my way back to the hotel. This was a work trip and I had to head back soon to my hotel for a meeting.
In case if at all you get lost or feel uneasy or simply get tired, it is in your best interest to carry some amount of local currency with you to either take a public transport back home or just take a cab.
When I ran from Nice, France to Monaco, all by myself, I ran out of water as the distance was way more than what I had calculated! I had to purchase some juice+water to hydrate myself as it was extremely hot and humid at that time of the day. Also, post finishing this run at Monaco, I took a bus back to my stay at Nice Ville.
In case if you feel thirsty during your run and don't know whether there are shops on the route where you can buy water- it is the best to carry a small bottle of water that you can sip while running.
I always take along with me a bottle of water on my runs in a new city.
DEDICATION. It is most important thing to bring on any trip. It's not easy to stay focused and dedicated and hence fit in your workouts when you are in that "vacation mode." Or on a stressful business trip. Decide before you leave home that you will run, come what may!
I hope these tips will help you run when you travel.

Last year, I visited Finland with a goal to see the Northern Lights. However, considering that Aurora Borealis siting is rather rare-I had kept my return from Northern Finland a little open ended.
Luck had it that I saw northern lights within 20 minutes of beginning the hunt for the Northern Lights and I was lucky enough to cut short my stay at beautiful and very expensive Ivalo to plan a visit to a new place. I toyed with the idea of visiting Poland, Riga, Minsk, etc. But, finally I decided-'ok let me go to Stockholm'.
And I am so glad that I chose Stockholm.
I took a Finnair flight with multiple stopovers from Ivalo to Stockholm and landed at the Arlanda Airport. From there a train called Arlanda Express took me straight to the Stockholm City Centre.
I was staying at Generator Hostel very close to the central station. With my backpack, I walked to the hostel, checked into my very clean room which was essentially a bed in the dormitory.
My hostel reception. There was no kitchen in this hostel but the food and beverages were reasonably priced.
Stockholm was cold and windy. Yet so beautiful!!
I thought there was absolutely no need to buy a city pass as the whole city was walk-able. And that's what I did, walked through the city over the next few days.
When I went to eat after strolling for most of the evening i realised that the restaurants had closed!
Gamla Stan is charming but the restaurants here shut pretty early. Most restaurants at Gamla Stan take their last orders by 8:45 to 9 pm. I learnt my lesson and had to sleep hungry and foolish on Day 1 itself!!
But general stores such as '7 Eleven' and Burger Kings of the world were life savers.
A beautiful cafe where I had my breakfast!
And the best part about the trip was that I had a great roommate. He knew the city inside out and had visited it many times in the past. I ended up walking to the Stockholm Palace, Vasa Museum, the market place, the town hall etc. with my roommate.
Walked through the whole city!
This massive blue gate that leads to a green space close to Vasa Museum!
The cherry on the cake was that he had a spare pass to 'The Cure' Concert –front row at the Stockholm Arena. That was a memory to cherish. And all thanks to Sokratis Zor's friend for not turning up to the concert! I could witness the band play from one arm distance and couldn't have expected a better weekend in this city.
'The Cure' from the front few rows!
With my hostel roommate Sokratis!
Days went by in a wink at Stockholm and final day was left for some shopping at H&M, casual walk by the windy seaside and long slow early dinner with music at Gamla Stan. This after thought of a visit truly gave me a lot of memories to take back home.
Stood through the entire ceremony which takes place at 1 pm!
Inside the palace, the Swedish constitution is on the table here!
It is one of the most beautiful palaces I have seen. It is said to be one of the largest palaces in Europe! The Royal Palace is the official residence of His Majesty the King of Sweden and has over 600 rooms!!

Mumbai Marathon is round the corner and there are many who participate in this event. Personally, 2018 would be my fifth year of running Full Marathon at Mumbai Marathon. So if you are planning to run this event (whether full or half), or any other race here are a few useful tips that you can follow on the race day.
My advice would be to wake up a few minutes earlier than usual in morning and give your body a chance to fully wake up. Before a run, I give myself almost one hour to fully wake up on the race day. Please don't arrive too late as it creates a lot of stress and chaos. (I have experienced this situation too). Most of the roads leading to the holding area are closed for vehicles. Hence, if you are getting your vehicle along please factor in the time to walk from the parking lot to the holding area. Sometimes you will find parking too far away from the venue.
Wake up early and reach the venue early to avoid chaos. Target reaching atleast 40-45 minutes before the start. Often there are long queues outside the washroom in case if you want to visit.
Consider taking Public Transport or you can even UBER it to the venue to avoid any form of parking related stress.
Most races around the world have special public transport arrangements for the race day. It is the best way to travel to the start point.
Plan your race either on paper or in your mind and go as per plan. It is good to be optimistic when you are going strong in the first few km. But, don't go too fast because there is a lot of excitement around you. Set and achievable target and stick tick to your own target.
Stay Focused and stick to your plan. Don't get carried away by those running around you.
I love do this personally. Let's say I am running a 42.195 km. I divide this whole distance into four 10 point something kilometers. I break my target into smaller four targets and focus on the small targeted distance at hand. Puts your stress off to a great extent. Instead of obsessing about each of the 42 kms, I divide it into segments-like 4 segments or 6 segments, whatever you are comfortable with. "That makes it more manageable mentally.
It helps to divide the entire distance of your run into small achievable targets. It somewhat helps the run look more manageable.
4. Hydrate well and do not hesitate to visit the washroom if you need to.
You sweat when you run. Hence, please hydrate well during the run drink as much water as your body needs along with taking adequate salts. Please avoid 'not dinking water for fear of having bathroom breaks' logic. It is not water, but the food that you eat the night before or day before will impact your bathroom situation before or during a run. My advice will be to pee as close to the race start time as possible.
I carry a bottle in hand for every single marathon. Some intelligent person once told me 'never depend on the organizers for your hydration and nutrition. Yes, you have paid the money as a registration fee, but things can go wrong on the part of the organizers too. You don't wish to suffer for their errors, right?
Carry your own bottle! Some intelligent person once told me 'never depend on the organisers for your hydration and nutrition.
6. Don't come to a complete stop when you get to the water stations.
It breaks the momentum, sometime it becomes difficult to pick up when you come to a complete halt. Try slowing down a few meters earlier when you see a water station and run at that pace till you reach the water station and then stop there.
7. The golden rule is do not try something new on the race day.
No new apparel or shoes during a marathon. The socks should be the type you wear in other races. The shoes should be something that you have done long runs in. It is not a day to experiment with a fancy new tee or shorts either. Wear something which is used even if it has holes. Also, you might get some fancy eatable on the route. Eat them only if you are used to having them on training runs. Otherwise it may lead to a bad tummy.
Don't try anything new on the race day! This applies to food, clothes, shoes, everything. I have run marathons in even tees and shoes with holes.
And Finally, Enjoy the experience. There is nothing more awesome than running in a new place or even for that matter in your own city. Just simply enjoy the experience than being too much into the run and obsessing over your time taken to finish it. Look around; soak in the surroundings, the energy, the weather. It is an experience and it feels beautiful to go through it. And at the finish line, do not forget to smile and pose.

A lot of people often write to me asking how did I begin running. Well, my answer is simple-by substituting a few meters of my morning or evening walk with a slow jog and then getting back to the walk. That's how I began! You can do the same. Begin with small 1 to 2 km walk-jog-walk routines that you can practice and bring to slightly longer runs over the weekend. And also here are a few easy steps that you can follow.
This entry was posted in Uncategorized on December 8, 2017 by Fitbrowngirl.
First, take 30 mins of your time each day and start with run-walk-run, at least 3 times a week. As you get regular after a couple of weeks, try and increase this to about 5 times a week. You can also try one minute of brisk walking, followed by one minute of jogging, and repeat this 10 to 12 times.
Bear in mind not to go too fast initially. Keep it slow! Now you may ask, how to measure slow and comfortable pace? Well, you don't really require hi-end gadgets for this. My measurement is simple- you should be able to run at a 'conversational' pace. As long as you are able to speak while you run, you are doing fine.
You should be able to chat with the person running next to you! That is a great, easy pace to follow.
One of the biggest advantages of running is that very little gear is required. But, having said that, runners should invest in a good pair of running shoes. Now, by running shoes, I mean 'running shoes'. Not cross-training, not walking, neither basketball nor tennis shoes. But running shoes. There are several good shoe brands available in the market. Drop into your nearest store, and pick a pair you find the most comfortable.
For women who want to start running, I would recommend well-fit sports bra, preferably made of a sweat-wicking material to keep you cool.
A fitness band or digital sports watch is also helpful. Initially, you can do with a basic one, but as you advance in your running and set new time goals you can invest in advanced watches with a GPS, heart rate monitor etc. You can also track your runs through mobile apps.
One of the most common questions I get is 'Will my muscles hurt?' The answer is yes. Of course, initially, they will hurt. Your legs will feel sore in the beginning, but if you keep up with the routine, the soreness will subside. Having said that, if you feel acute pain anywhere, take a break and stop running for a few days to let your legs recover. This will help prevent injuries and bust the myth "running doesn't give you bad knees".
Treadmill, soft loose soil, road or grass?
If the question, 'where do I run?' is bothering you, my reply is 'run wherever you can, just do it regularly. Follow a routine'. Many experts will give you a list of pros and cons for each of the terrains. I personally prefer running outside. But for many, the weather or the surrounding may not be conducive.
What should I eat/drink before I step out for a run & during a run?
Well, something small like a banana before your run is good. And during your run, you can carry a small bottle of water. Sip, don't gulp too much water at a time. You can also carry a balanced energy drink like Enerzal & keep sipping it occasionally. It is rich in necessary electrolytes and helps in replacing the vitamins lost through sweat, in order to re-hydrate you better. It is easily available at any chemist store near you. Once again, my tip will be to keep it simple. You don't really require gels or expensive workout bars at this stage.
Carry a small bottle and keep sipping water or Enerzal!
Am I ready to run a race?
Finally, setting a goal to run a race is also a great way to stay motivated and true to your routine. I do it all the time. So sign up for a race a few months away, and work towards a goal. Local races are a great way to start. Choose a race, set a realistic target and get moving. Set small and winnable goals, don't overdo things, take adequate rest, and nothing can stop you!
Set a goal and get moving!!!!

Gov. Andrew Cuomo wants to remind New York farmers to take advantage of a charitable food tax credit available this year.
ALBANY - New York farmers can take advantage of a charitable food tax credit available this year.
New York farmers can get a tax credit for certain food donations they make to food banks, pantries and emergency food programs. The program was approved by the state Legislature last year and started Jan. 1.
"Refunding farmers for their generous food donations not only supports the state's agricultural economy, but encourages more New Yorkers to help end hunger in our communities once and for all," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a statement.
Food donated by New York farmers can earn them a tax credit worth 25 percent of the value of the donated food. Farmers can earn up to $5,000 for their donations.
The credit is aimed at helping farmers cover the costs of growing, harvesting and distributing the food to charitable food programs.
State officials expect the program to save farmers $10 million each year.
New York farms donated more than 9 million pounds of food in 2017, according to the state Farm Bureau. The donations helped to make up over 7 million meals for New Yorkers.
Eligible donations to food banks, food pantries and emergency food programs operating in New York can include fresh fruit, vegetables, eggs and meat produced in New York. If a dairy farm processes, bottles and delivers its own milk, that can qualify as an eligible donation as well.
The tax credit is available for farmers whose primary income is a type of farming activity in the state and who make their donation to an eligible food bank, pantry or emergency food program located in the state.
Donations made after Jan. 1 can qualify farmers for the tax credit; food donated prior to the start of the program will not qualify.
In order to receive the credit, a taxpayer must have a letter or receipt from the eligible food pantry that states the name and Employer Identification Number of the eligible food pantry, the date and location of the qualified donation and a detailed description of the donation.
The tax credit was passed last year after being vetoed the two previous years by Cuomo.
The governor wanted the tax credit to be worked in as a part of the state budget, which was done last year.
"This has been a priority issue for our organization's members who routinely donate to their regional food banks and local pantries," said Farm Bureau president David Fisher in a statement.

Change of winds: how Lithuania stopped being pacifist and started to love the military again
Reuters/Scanpix
The Lithuanian Army's rapid reaction force unit carries an anti-riot drill in Rukla, Lithuania, in this March 19, 2015 file picture. From sabotage of energy installations to cyber attacks and declarations of "independence" by Russian-speaking villages, the Baltic states are preparing for possible flashpoints of war.
Vaidas Saldžiūnas
Few events change the course of states like big shakeups, and it has been 14 years since the last major shakeup. On a quiet September morning in 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States changed not only that superpower, but the whole world. The change was not only in the way Americans see the world and the way it sees them, it also dictated a new set of rules for modern conflicts.
Sometimes it is even hard to imagine that a country like France was one of the first to rally behind the American determination, calling for justice and vengeance against the new enemies. In the end though, the protracted US operations in Iraq and Afghanistan have been costly ventures filled with pain and disillusionment, and the image of America has suffered, with its reliability questioned.
Rare events like American military servicemen saving the day in France once again by stopping a terrorist attack on a train are mostly exceptions in so-called old Europe, where anti-American sentiment is high.
If it were not for the reliance on the might of US military power, which Europe has been clearly shown to be lacking, there would be even fewer tears over the closing of US military installations in Europe.
One of the reasons for this antipathy can be explained by the nature of US- European relations. Over the past century America has played the role of saviour, but now there seems to be nothing to be saved from, no clear and defined enemy left. Or is there?
In a post 9/11 world, Europe even more now than a decade ago, has learned to fear radical Islamic terrorism. Just like the Americans, Europeans have learned the hard way how to fight insurgents in distant lands, how to avoid roadside bombs, how to talk nicely to village elders.
The counter-terrorism agenda has clear limitations. The threat of either Al Qaeda a decade ago or ISIS now may bind Europeans with Americans on targeted approaches, but an enemy that is largely faceless and secretive in nature cannot be the perfect glue for US and European relations.
At the same time moreover, both the American and the European military and security apparatus almost completely forgot about the old conventional threats. This is now being admitted by the top American generals themselves. Few if any American soldiers know what it's like to be under sustained artillery fire. US troops who recently came to teach Ukrainians how to fight became quite silent in lessons where Ukrainians told them about barrages of Russian artillery.
Decades spent in a relatively safe airspace environment haven't taught the US Air Force anything about multilayered, networked and highly capable air defence systems. The Ukrainian air force, and unfortunately Malaysian Airlines, have learned this lesson the hard way.
Historically nothing can glue US-European relations and show the change of defence policy as effectively as a common threat. The current Chairman of the American Joint Chiefs, General Martin Dempsey and the future Chairman, Marine Corps General Joseph Dunford, have already named the biggest military threat to US.
The list is not topped by terrorists, nor by the regimes of North Korea, Iran or even China, as the position has been retaken by Russia, which had long since been downgraded as "a mere regional power".
Ironically, Russia has been named as a threat for years now by some who the US considers to be staunch allies. And few US allies are stauncher than the Baltic states. During the war on terror this was proven many times, when Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania all punched above their weight.
Lithuania for instance is a clear example of a country that has adapted its defence policy according to the geopolitical winds. In 1994 Lithuania set its goal of becoming a NATO member and Lithuania and its political elite made a strong pro-NATO case. The lesson from the interwar period was clear: it is better to be in a good defence club. It may not bring 100% guarantees, but it is better than a neutrality that your Eastern neighbour does not care about. And no one had any illusions about Russia, even in the 1990s.
Even the US, a strong supporter, was sceptical at first – why would NATO need a small, rather poor, post-soviet country that was considered to be indefensible? But after 9/11 the path became clear. By offering help to America and sending a Special Operations Forces (SOF) detachment to the US-led war in Afghanistan as early as 2002, Lithuania demonstrated its goals clearly.
Two mantras have become important: help your allies, especially the US, and meet NATO standards. Sending troops on foreign missions has served two main goals of showing solidarity with allies and helping the troops themselves gain experience.
The SOF is a prime example of this policy, as not only has the combination of different special operations units grown into a separate branch of elite forces, but it has also boosted the image of Lithuania in the eyes of the Americans. Lithuanian soldiers saving US SEALS in battle probably did more for NATO membership than the required military reforms did.
At the same time, the conventional wing of the Lithuanian armed forces has adapted to the NATO requirements: NATO needs an expeditionary capability and a counter terrorism force? That is where we will excel.
The second brigade and the concept of territory defence were scrapped and all efforts were diverted to the expeditionary element with light, well-trained and well-equipped troops, who are ready to deploy. As the years passed and the need for "state building" and counterinsurgency only grew stronger in places like Afghanistan and Iraq, Lithuania seemed to be riding high and enjoyed praise from Washington.
Some in the Lithuanian military complained about the army becoming a skeleton of several battalions, logistic support and a motorcycle cavalry in the form of the famed Special Operations Forces with combat experience in Afghanistan. But even Americans turned a blind eye to the 0.8% of GDP that Lithuania was spending on defence. The mood in Lithuania was clear – what we have is more than enough to fight modern counterinsurgency wars against terrorists.
Contrary to the myth, the war in Georgia in 2008 did not have a real impact in Lithuania, which abolished conscription the same year and continued with expensive purchases of dubious military value. Even President Dalia Grybauskaite was quoted then as saying that 2% for defence is an unwritten rule, so there's no need to abide by such obligations.
Events in Ukraine changed all that 180 degrees. As the security situation degraded dramatically, so the Lithuanian approach to it has changed. Russia made it rather easy.
The Kremlin's military takeover of Crimea, the war against Ukraine, the ongoing and ever more realistic exercises of an aggressive nature, the demonstration of prowess in the Baltic sea, and even the threats to launch nuclear weapons at Denmark have reinvented the image of an evil empire trying to regain its image and power.
Metaphorically speaking, at least in the eyes of Russia's western neighbours, smoke rises again from Mount Doom, and the eye of Putin gazes from the tower of the Kremlin and this gaze is truly frightening for its western neighbours.
The Baltic states have already felt the suffocating embrace of the Russian bear and in their instincts they feel that winter is coming, and a new cold war is already a reality. Thus, it has become very popular to talk about the clear and present Russian threat. Vilnius was one of those leading the way.
Never so careful with strongly worded statements, Grybauskaite has called Russia a terrorist state and a threat to all Europe. For a NATO country that borders Russia but spends 0.8% of GDP on defence, such statements are bold at best and essentially irresponsible.
But the hypocrisy died down soon enough, as the president herself has become one of the main steamrollers pushing for stronger defence. Since 2014 the president took it almost as a personal insult if any ministry protested against more money for the military. Anyone opposing this spending risked falling into the "pro-Kremlin" camp. Judgmental verdicts and a lack of room for compromise on this topic has become the norm.
At the same time, the centre-left government and the key ruling and opposition parties all fell into line like subordinate soldiers, and military spending went up from less than 267 million euros in 2013 to more than 425 million euros in 2015. It will grow even further in 2016.
The change was marked by new faces as well. The new and charismatic commander of the armed forces, General Jonas Vytautas Zukas, quickly formed a bond with the president. Both seemingly understood that people need to see the change and gain confidence. After 9/11, most Lithuanians never really cared about threat of terrorism or the fight against it. Russia was a different matter altogether – not only as a living memory, but also through the eyes of the Ukrainians.
Unlike Estonians or Latvians, Lithuanians are able to talk of once being a really big country. After all, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania used to be bigger than France and incorporated nearly all of modern Ukraine. Lithuanians have a pride in this and like to boast of a country that stretched from "sea to the sea", meaning from the Baltic to the Black sea. With this feeling comes a bond that Ukrainians are only so happy to indulge by calling the Lithuanian occupation "a soft or golden one".
Seeing the suffering of Ukrainians, fires, explosions and death in the same soviet-style buildings as in their own country, Lithuanians could only feel sympathy for Ukraine and dread that the same could happen to them.
The MoD reacted to such fears and introduced a 100-page book that teaches citizens what they should do in case of war. People are taught where to seek shelter, urged to work out how to contact relatives if there is a loss of communications, and to have extra radios, batteries and food in advance.
Russian "diplomats" also felt the stronger work of Lithuanian counterintelligence. That is no coincidence, since the new head of the State Security Department Darius Jauniskis is a highly-decorated former commander of the Special Operations Forces. He took a more aggressive approach to his job than his predecessors did, and now "diplomats" have become weary of being tailed.
Electrified by the Russian threat, Lithuanians have also flooded to paramilitary organisations like the Riflemen's union. Considered not long ago to be a platform for a quasi-military gang of boy scouts and old men telling campfire stories from their youth in the 30s, it has changed dramatically.
Young professionals, including prominent figures like singers, businessmen, journalists and even the liberal mayor of Vilnius, have put on military fatigues, picked up weapons, drilled in urban combat, and learned survival and partisan tactics.
For a country where many considered the military to be a nuisance filled with those who never grow up, losers or idealists, this hunger to know more about national defence was unusual, or rather was something long forgotten. A proud sense of the warrior nation mentality is now experiencing a renaissance.
Defence officials have used this mood to their own benefit. General Zukas, the commander of the armed forces, toured military units and bombarded soldiers with sharp and to-the-point questions: "how ready are you? what do you need?". The conclusion was obvious: we need more manpower. Battalions are at 50% strength, some are at less than 30%. The solution was also obvious – return conscription, since it is duly noted in the Lithuanian constitution as the duty of citizens after all.
The State Security council, where the President, the army chief and other key security officials meet, has already gained something of a Churchillian war cabinet image, but the sudden decision has caused quite a stir nevertheless. However, after some fiery debates and public objections by those who were about to become conscripts last spring, it has become obvious that support for the draft is gaining ground.
Since autumn 2014, 3000 have been called up to serve. Fears about whether any would actually show up are now gone, as enough young men and women have shown up voluntarily.
Yet even without conscripts the Lithuanian army has changed dramatically. The past two years have been marked by the most intensive period of training during all years of independence.
Gone were the peacekeeping exercises in hot zones. Old fashioned territory defence, even limited armoured warfare, artillery and air support elements came into play with the help of US allies. Some soldiers were able to fire more ammunition in one single exercise than they had previously done in their whole military careers.
Extensive anti-aircraft and anti-tank missile training drained supplies somewhat and more missiles have been ordered. In fact, the bigger budget meant that more military hardware could be bought. New short range anti-aircraft missiles have been ordered together with medium range anti-tank missiles.
The President's palace once again steamrolled through big projects like the PZH2000 self-propelled howitzer deal with Germany, and sent clear signals of its intention to fast-track the Boxer Infantry Fighting Vehicle deal with Germany. Anyone opposing these deals seems to be cracking under the invisible iron fist. New battalions and a whole new brigade will be formed up with several military bases near Vilnius, while talks about Lithuania and other Baltic states working with Poland in using the Patriot long range anti-aircraft system are becoming serious.
The Lithuanian armed forces have also finally remembered how to defend territory en masse. The army has created within itself a rapid reaction force of two mechanised infantry battalions and supporting units that are ready to roll and react to any self-declared "people's republic" in a matter of hours, as was demonstrated in massive urban exercises. People see troops training in small towns and big cities more often, while NATO allies help a lot with shows of force.
Cheers from people waving to American Apache helicopters flying over the Vilnius old town is a clear sign of change. Some can already even recognise the type of NATO jets by the sound their engines make when they fly over the capital at the beginning and end of each Baltic air police rotation.
Back in the autumn of 2013, just a few months before the crisis in Kiev broke, the presidents of all three Baltic states, the NATO secretary general and SACEUR gathered in Latvia for an international exercise.
All three presidents were asked one simple question: would they approve of NATO equipment being pre-positioned in the Baltic states. It took them by surprise: yes, why not? But is there any need? Indeed those were still the times, when it was fashionable to talk only about Afghanistan, cyber defence, defence spending and the future of NATO. Two years later there are no doubts and the work is nearly done for NATO regional HQs in the Baltic states. Not only the talk, but also the work and plans show one thing: if anything, the military more than ever before is being prepared for a real war at home.

Expanded horizons at Opti
Opti will return to Fairground Munich on 25–27 January 2019. Project manager at Opti, Bettina Reiter, tells OT how British visitors to the German trade show can expect "all kinds of innovation"
18 Jul 2018 by Andrew McClean
Optical organisations,
Opti 2019 will expand into six halls, how will this extra space be used?
Bettina Reiter (BR): Visitors to Opti 2019 can look forward to an even more comprehensive range of products and services. In some areas, we have already had waiting lists. With the larger trade show now taking place in six halls, we finally have the opportunity to offer the desired space.
In addition, it will be possible to expand some existing areas such as the Opti forum and the Opti campus as well as creating new ones. There will also be new lounge areas for networking and communication, and the walkways will be slightly widened to enhance the individual trade show stands even more.
We are pleased that Opti is perceived internationally as one of the top trade shows, meaning that many companies are now using it as a platform to present themselves for the first time. Just think of David Green from South Africa or Monogram Eyewear from Dubai; companies that made their first appearance in Europe at Opti 2018. We are currently in the process of planning the halls for Opti 2019. We will then be announcing some of the new stars in the Opti-world at the end of the summer.
What will areas like the Opti forum and Opti campus provide?
BR: On each of the three days, the Opti forum will be offering discussions and lectures by international experts in the field of optics on topics such as digitisation, design, successful marketing, and eye care.
The discussions will all be simultaneously interpreted into English. At this point in time, not all speakers and topics have been determined but the full programme will be available on the Opti website by December to allow everybody to plan their visit to the forum.
In 2019, a presentation by Aalen University will be showing the Potentials of digitisation in optometry. One lecture will be dealing with up-selling and cross-selling in specialist optical stores, another with the opportunities special customer events offer. As a special service, Opti will also be offering a selection of presentations to download on the Opti website after the trade show.
The universities of ophthalmology will be in the Opti campus area. English will also be spoken here, particularly as we are enlarging the campus area in 2019 and trying to integrate even more international educational institutions.
What is the YES independent design area and what will be new for this area in 2019?
BR: The two areas – !HOT and YES! – used to be separate from one another in halls C1 and C4 but have always been sisters in spirit. At the request of many exhibitors and visitors, we brought the two areas closer together at Opti 2018 and in January 2019 they will be merged into a common, vibrant design platform. This will offer new possibilities in terms of design, exchange, and communication. Visitors will be able to see independent labels, innovative eyewear companies, and the many directions in unusual and contemporary design. The Opti boxes, a special area where exciting newcomers to the industry introduce themselves, will also be on display.
What can UK eye care professionals and industry decision makers who are thinking about attending expect to see and learn from the German market?
BR: The exhibitors from German-speaking countries often regard Opti as a kind of home game, a place where they are strongly represented and where they are pleased to present their innovations. This applies to lenses, contact lenses, and technologies as well as to frames.
Visitors from Great Britain can be sure to experience all kinds of innovations at Opti. Exhibitors from Great Britain can expect very good business in Munich, as Opti is the first trade show of the year used by optometrists to start the new business year with momentum.
It is important to emphasise that Opti is no longer a purely German or German-speaking trade show. It is very international, and enjoys growing popularity worldwide, also in Great Britain, which is one of the top ten countries visitors come from. At the last Opti, 668 exhibitors from 40 countries presented their innovations to 28,430 visitors from more than 100 countries. And we are pleased to welcome many visitors from Great Britain to Opti in Munich again.

The pop-up businesses frenzy is leading to some retail permanence for branches of pop-up retailers in both the downtown and neighborhoods of Detroit. A diverse variety of small businesses such as a clothier, toy shop, indie movie theatre and garment-maker are all looking to stay in the area to run their businesses. Starting a pop-up business initially allows the owners to get an idea of the market, consumer's behavior, size of the store, basically all aspects of owning a business before fully committing. Co-learning Plan author for the 2014 project year, Michael Forsyth is featured in an article in The Detroit News, discussing the successes of test-running a business through the pop-up program. Overall many small business owners who have tried a pop-up business development program were able to learn more about the market, their products, the community, and the lifestyle of a business owner as a whole. To learn more about the pop-up program development check out The Detroit News and Michael Forsyth's upcoming Co-Learning Plan at the 2014 Innovate Michigan! Annual REI Summit as well as on the web.
