But, I’m not in a flood plain. Why would I ever need flood insurance?
Designed to protect your property if damaged by flooding, flood insurance is sold as a separate policy. Most homeowner’s policies exclude damage to your property that is caused by a flood.
Even if your home is not near a body of water, you may be at risk.
Groundwater flooding is caused by the property being supersaturated and unable to absorb any more water. Of course when this happens, water builds up on the surface and can develop into a flood. Thus, all the flash flood warnings in the springtime!


By Jason “Stub” Stubblefield
The end of summer brings hectic schedules and less time for leisure. Why not give yourself a break and plan a day trip to one of our many local wineries? The drive to and from is beautiful, the people making and pouring our local wines are dedicated and hospitable, and a little effort might lead to discovery of a new favorite wine or rediscovery of an old favorite spot. Here are some suggestions to help you discover the great wines in our own back yard.
White Rock Vineyard, Winery, and Brew Haus
2117 Bruno Dr. Goodview, VA
I was enthusiastically greeted by co-owner Michele Bublitz, who was finishing with a large tasting party in front of me. She invited me to look around before starting my tasting, which was easy given the vast glass-enclosed veranda overlooking the vineyard.
Tasting the wines was a pleasure, as Greg Bublitz joined to help explain the wines and his winemaking process. There are six wines on the tasting menu (two whites, a rosé, and four reds). My personal favorite was the Tangled Trio, a Bordeaux-style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
White Rock also features four varieties of Vino Slushies in bags. The slushies are a blend of White Rock wines and natural fruit juices and can be enjoyed chilled or frozen!
There are also small batches of Greg’s Blitz Creek Beer available at White Rock. While I found all five selections to be of amazing quality, the Belgian-style Double IPA at over 100 IBUs was balanced and delicious!
Ramulose Ridge Vineyards
3061 Hendricks Store Road | Moneta, Virginia
Ramulose Ridge Vineyards sits on a beautiful property in Bedford County near Smith Mountain Lake. Opened in 2013, Ramulose has quickly made a name for itself in the Virginia (and beyond) wine community.
During my visit, I tasted through the entire lineup of fourteen wines. The combination of white, red, dry and sweet wines available ensures there’s something for every palate at Ramulose Ridge.
The easy going feel, beautiful patio and on-site selection of cigars (complete with pairing suggestions) make Ramulose Ridge a must-stop destination during any wine touring in the area.
My personal favorite on the day I visited was the Cabernet Franc, but winemaker Sandi has a touch with single-varietal wines made from hybrid grapes that produces balance and drinkability that are often difficult for winemakers to achieve.
Chateau Morrisette Winery and Restaurant
291 Winery Road SW | Floyd, VA
This winery is for the dogs! Literally. The portrait of the original winery dog over the bar is only half the story. Chateau Morrisette is a beautiful location with a beautiful view.
The large tasting room and shop offers a great location for tasting through the substantial number of wines available. With so many wines, there’s bound to be something for every wine lover here.
The Vin Gris rosé blend (Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Chambourcin) is perfect for the waning summer heat, but the Merlot particularly captured my fancy. The Chateau Morrisette Restaurant serves a variety of dishes for lunch and dinner, as well as a Sunday brunch.
Villa Appalaccia Winery
752 Rock Castle Gorge Rd | Floyd, VA
Villa Appalaccia is the epitome of a small farm winery. And that’s perfect. I was able to taste through the selections offered with winemaker Susanne Becker during my visit and I was not disappointed.
Villa Applaccia produces Italian-style wines of character and balance designed to complement the food on your table. They are one of two wineries in Virginia making Aglianico, an Italian grape variety that produces wines of great structure while maintaining beautiful balance.
The open air covered patio provides a quaint spot with a great view to enjoy a glass or bottle with your tasting companion, or as I did, to make new friends.
AmRhein’s Wine Cellars
9243 Patterson Road | Bent Mountain, VA
A quaint tasting room attached to the winery welcomes visitors to AmRhein’s.
Tasting through the selections with the winemaker is always a treat, and that was my lot during my visit.
I was particularly enamored with AmRhein’s Chardonnay, which is more of a Burgundian style—lightly-oaked, slightly creamy, but crisp and refreshing.
AmRhein’s signature wine is the Petit Verdot—for which I have an affinity—but I found myself once again drawn to the Aglianico. Isn’t it great the the two Virginia wineries producing this lesser-known variety are in our area? The deep berry flavors, hint of tobacco
and smooth tannins make the Aglianico a must try or take home.
6500 Mt Chestnut Rd | Roanoke, VA
I’m not sure if you come for the view and stay for the wine or vice versa. Situated at 2,000 feet overlooking Roanoke, a visit to Valhalla is more than worth the effort.
The beautiful tasting room opens to a patio with expansive and wondrous views from the mountain top.
And the wines! The Rheingold Reserve Chardonnay is a great example of the variety made artfully in the Burgundian style—slightly creamy, plenty of fruit, and enough acid to hold it all together.
The Valkyrie Bordeaux-style red blends at Valhalla are amazing. I tasted the 2005, 2007 and non vintage Valkyrie blends; each more than held up to their name.
The friendly staff, amazing wines and beautiful vistas make Valhalla a place to go sooner than later.
Peaks of Otter Winery
2122 Sheep Creek Rd | Bedford, VA
A visit to the Peaks of Otter Winery makes for a wonderful afternoon outing. Twenty, yes, twenty wines were on the menu during my visit. Most, with the exception of two of these wines, are fruit wines made from fruits other than grapes. Peaks of Otter lives up to its “Fruit of the Farm Wines” mantra.
Made from a variety of fruits from apple to strawberry to blackberry, Peaks of Otter wines are on the sweeter, fruitier end of the spectrum, with the exception of their signature offering: Kiss The Devil, a wine made from over thirty varieties of peppers! It packs a punch of heat and flavor, but is probably better suited for using in recipes than for sipping on the patio.
A visit to Peaks of Otter can also include picking your own apples or peaches, wandering the grounds to visit the animals, or just relaxing under the shaded pavilion next to the Johnny Appleseed statue.

Meridian Celebrates 25 Years of Serving Michigan
DETROIT, Aug. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Meridian of Michigan, a leading Medicaid managed care plan and wholly owned subsidiary of Centene Corporation, recently celebrated 25 years of providing high-quality care and services to its members across Michigan.
"Meridian has been an essential part of the Michigan community for more than two decades," said Sean Kendall, Plan President and CEO of Meridian. "We have been, and will continue to be, there for Michigan residents to ensure they have access to the healthcare coverage they need and deserve. We're grateful to celebrate this milestone and look forward to providing continued care to the state of Michigan."
Since its founding in 1997, Meridian has experienced tremendous growth. Beginning as a small team of employees committed to providing Michiganders with access to compassionate care, Meridian has since expanded to become the largest Medicaid managed care plan in the state, and today serves more than half a million Medicaid, Medicare-Medicaid Plan (MMP), and Marketplace members.
During its 25-year history, Meridian has also taken a local approach to care, embedding itself in the communities it serves. This includes partnerships with more than 40 community-based organizations, dedicated employees who have volunteered hundreds of hours in their communities, and more than $1.3 million in grants to support local providers, federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), and community partners.
In recognition of its anniversary, Meridian employees performed 25 acts of kindness across the state. They donated clothes to Foster Closet of Michigan, a nonprofit with several locations spread across the state that serves children placed in the foster care system. To cheer some of the health plan's most vulnerable members, employees wrote heartfelt letters to elders to brighten their day. And, amid the ongoing shortage of baby formula nationwide, Meridian employees delivered formula to Destined for Greatness, a Detroit nonprofit that seeks to empower and motivate at-risk young ladies ages 11 to 21 through its mentorship program.

Why should DF implement Transit Oriented Development (TOD)?
Transit Oriented Development (TOD) reduces the need to travel long distances and provides an opportunity for densification, so that a journey can be made by walking, cycling or using public transit.
This TOD strategy can be implemented in Mexico City and its metropolitan area, thanks to the existence of a good network of 537 km of public transit, comprising Metro, Metrobus, Electric Transport Service (trolleybus), a commuter train - and Mexibus (in the State of Mexico). ITDP has made this data visualization that allows exploring the existing public transit networks, plus the new BRT lines proposed by ITDP and its relation to the demographic, housing and economic variables, in order to identify opportunities for Transit Oriented Development in the city.
ITDP has developed a proposal for how it should be a TOD strategy for the Federal District, in a working document (downloadable here). This shows that there are many opportunities to promote the TOD, which could the urban sprawl of the city and drive its development towards sustainability.


I have always had a deep respect for people who live in connection with nature. In their lives, nature has a deeper meaning than relationships with people around them. The sea and the forest are greater than anyone and for them, it is more than just a means of subsistence, more than survival. It is their life-long companion that dictates their lives.
I returned to the village where I spent my childhood summers, to try to remember how it used to be. To find the images of the men who loved nature more than people. The men that are surrounded by endless frozen forests and seas seemingly quiet, but yet so dangerous. These old men are like the nature around them- quiet, sometimes harsh, introvert. But once you get to know them they open up.
During winter, this small village is deserted, with few people living there. It gets dark early, around 4pm. The streets are empty, houses are dark and snowed in, just a few dozen windows with the lights on. There aren’t many job opportunities, so young people and children are moving to bigger cities or countries, leaving the old ones to look after themselves. Only the ones who don’t know any other way stay – they don’t know what to do in the city, how to act, which rules to follow.
This old lifestyle is dying out because there is no one who is willing to continue living this simple. We are losing our connection with nature. Already young children don’t have the understanding of where the milk, eggs, meat come from. They see it packed as a product.
I was looking for the time lost; the time, which, it seems, the locals have never forgotten, but we might soon forget. A place that is magical, mystical and between nowadays and past. They still live in that time – slow, quiet and peaceful.

From the blog post’s headline: Murders in US very concentrated: 54% of US counties in 2014 had zero murders, 2% of counties have 51% of the murders.
OK, OK, another screen-grab from Instapundit:
But that’s not the only mystery: “When you look at individual counties with a high number of murders, you find large areas with few murders. Take Los Angeles County, with 526 murders in 2014, the most of any county in the US. The county has virtually no murders in the northwestern part of the county. There was only one murder each in Beverly Hills, Hawthorne, and Van Nuys. Clearly, different parts of the county face very different risks of murder.”

Layers of Rome. By Roger Trancik. Live & Learn Inc., CD-ROM, $129. This is not just a gift, it's a world. Aptly named, ancient history is embedded in the various layers that Rome has built on over the centuries. And this CD-ROM uses video, sound, color photography and 3D models and animation to bring to glorious life what glorious Rome was like. Traveling through various streets in the ancient city, we are presented with full-color virtual renderings of the buildings and the people. There are some 150 city spaces and structures, and information about an enormous number of different architectural projects. An animation rockets you to the site where your arrival is met by Emperor Constantine, the Layers of Rome 'tour guide'. Base models, study area models, photo-tour pages, movie pages with sounds and voice animations and 360 degree rotations. A puzzle page. Various historical precincts - Navona, Farnese, Pompey. The focus is on one square mile of Rome - Campus Martius - that has a large amount of ancient structured modified and rebuilt and reused. What is the relationship between the ancient city and the modern one? What are the terms used to describe Rome? Stadiums and street overlays and ancient baths and facades of ancient temples. You hover over the model and click on several study areas; included in the visual model is an animated scale which gives a good feel for the size of things. A brilliant use of modern technology to give eternal Rome a profoundly living presence.

A MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATION PEELS BACK THE LAYERS OF ROMAN CIVILIZATION.
In truth, Rome was not built in a day, or even a millennium. However, many of the city's original urban planning ideas have stood the test of time. Unlike modern development, the city of Rome has matured with an integrated urban form, redeveloping within its borders for more than two thousand years
Layers of Rome, an interactive CD-ROM designed by Professor Roger Trancik, focuses on the development of a one-square-mile area of Rome known as Campus Martius &endash; or the Field of Mars &endash; an area with a large concentration of ancient structures that have been continuously modified and reused throughout history.
With "Emperor Constantine" as a virtual guide, telling a dynamic story of Rome's growth and development, the CD-ROM features more than 170 urban spaces and structures (ancient and modern). By combining historic documents with modern-day photo and video documentation, computer-based 3D modeling and digital imaging, the CD-ROM functions as a "digital textbook", capturing a visual and cultural overview of the relationship of the layout of ancient Rome to its modern visage.

What are the prices for installing a 5kW solar system?
Installing a 5kW solar system in India can be a cost-effective way to generate electricity for your home or business. The cost of a 5kW solar system can vary depending on several factors, including the location, the brand of the solar panels, and the quality of the installation.
On average, the cost of installing a 5kW solar system in India ranges from 1.5 Lakh to 3 Lakh. This cost includes the cost of the solar panels, the inverter, the mounting hardware, and the installation labor. The cost of the solar panels alone can range from 60,000 to 1.5 Lakh, depending on the brand and quality of the panels.
The cost of installation can also vary depending on the location. Urban areas tend to have higher installation costs due to higher labor costs, while rural areas tend to have lower installation costs. Additionally, the cost of a 5kW solar system can be affected by the quality of the installation. A poorly installed system may not perform as well and may require more maintenance than a properly installed system.
It is important to note that the cost of a 5kW solar system in India can be offset by savings on electricity bills over time. With a 5kW solar system, you can generate enough electricity to power your home or business and potentially reduce your reliance on the grid. Additionally, many states in India offer rebates and incentives for solar power installation, which can help offset the initial cost of installation.
In conclusion, the cost of installing a 5kW solar system in India can vary depending on several factors, including location, brand of the solar panels, and the quality of the installation. However, the cost can be offset by the savings on electricity bills over time and rebates and incentives offered by the government. It is always recommended to get a quote from multiple vendors and compare before finalizing the deal.

There's definitely an extra spring in my step as I set out to walk the Scottish Highlands Way. This virtual journey will take me just over 200 miles, from Glasgow to Inverness, and I'm looking forward to seeing many interesting & beautiful sights along the way. I'm also wondering if I'll be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Nessy, the Loch Ness monster, as I make my around the shores of her home.
As someone who's already done a virtual Walk to Mordor stranger things have happened!
Now walking in the footsteps of Frodo & Sam was quite a bit of fun, especially at the start, but I found that as I neared Mount Doom my feet started to drag. It turns out that the thought of entering such desolate wasteland wasn't exactly the best motivator to keep me walking. Go figure!
I'm certain I won't be experiencing the same buzzkill on this adventure as the creative force behind Walking 4 Fun has done an amazing job re-creating the virtual trails and making the journey most enjoyable. Encouragement abounds in the maps, pictures. badges & descriptions provided by the site and, as an added bonus, Fitbit fanatics like myself can have their mileage automatically logged.
Instead of worry about logging my steps for the day, I can just keep on daydreaming that I'm Claire Beauchamp from Outlander making my way back to Inverness. Let's face it, Frodo Baggins has nothing on Jamie Fraser in the fantasy department.
The other lesson I learned from my previous virtual walking experience is that it's really a lot more fun sharing the experience with friends so if you're interested please give me a shout.
I'm a plodder (pushing myself to get 10k steps / 4 miles a day) so I expect to be walking for the next two months. Feel free to contact me at any time and we can support each other along the way. I'll be signing the Register as I go and as "walking friends" we can keep track of our respective whereabouts using the trail maps.
Now I'd better get up & get moving as I hope to be in Milngavie by sundown!

Non-fiction — Thatch huts on the savanna and animal wildlife often dominate the western image of Africa. The reality is different: the African continent is urbanising at great speed. Journalist Femke van Zeijl focuses on the subject of city life, the new African reality.
She lived in six different cities all over Sub-Saharan Africa and met business women, street kids, prostitutes, musicians and devoted family men. She hangs out with the Angolan elite in Luanda, for whom the newest model four-wheel drive is an indispensable part of their image. She discovers where to buy back the stolen wing mirrors from your car at the black market in the Mozambican capital of Maputo.
Two-thirds of the city dwellers south of the Sahara is younger than 24. This youth is involved in the same kind of things as their western age mates. Students in the Nigerian university city of Ibadan took Van Zeijl out to their campus bar and told her how they were fed up with the strictness of their parents, and how they intend to raise their children differently. And in the musician’s hotspot of Bobo Dioulasso the journalist follows an ambitious young singer who night after night visits the local night clubs to plug his music with the dj’s.
Gin & Tonic & Cholera touches on many aspects of city life, from sex and religion to poverty and crime.

The Grand to Grand Ultra takes place in the high desert of the Colorado Plateau in the USA. The course, therefore, takes place in the altitude range of approximately 5000’ (1524m) to almost 8,700’ (2652m).
Running 170 miles across the high desert of Arizona and Utah during the Grand to Grand Ultra is tough. Whilst this is a self-supported race and competitors .....
We know that crossing 275 km on foot over desert terrain is tough and requires our competitors to be physically and mentally prepared. G2G takes place in remote terrain where there is very little mobile phone signal and where unprepared people do get lost. We want you to focus on the race and not to worry about other things that are the responsibility of the organisers.

A few days before our snow day, I noticed a flower bush in front of our house had buds all over it. I couldn't believe it! It's not cold here compared to other states, but it gets pretty chilly so I was surprised to see these pretty little bright pink buds growing. In North Carolina, our weather is very fickle. One day it'll be 70 degrees, and the next it'll be freezing, or in this case, snowing. I thought this was the perfect picture to describe NC and it's crazy weather. This wasn't a spontaneous spring snow shower. It's winter here, full blown winter since the coldest days usually kick in around January around here. How pretty are these perfectly bright pink buds covered in snow? They are dead now. They couldn't survive in those freezing temps, but I look forward to seeing them again soon.

Horizontalism and Territory
by Marina Sitrin, in Possible Futures
Horizontal social relationships and the creation of new territory, through the use of geographic space, are the most generalized and innovative of the experiences of the Occupy movement. What we have been witnessing across the United States since September 17th is new in a myriad of ways, yet also, as everything, has local and global antecedents. In this essay I will describe these two innovations, and ground them in the more recent past, specifically in the global south in Argentina. I do this so as to examine commonalities and differences, but also to remind us that these ways of organizing have multiple and diverse precedents, and ones from which we can hopefully learn.
Horizontalidad, horizontality, and horizontalism are words that encapsulate the ideas upon which many of the social relationships and political interactions in the new global movements are grounded—from Spain to Greece, and now most recently here in the US Occupy movement.
Horizontalidad is a social relationship that implies, as its name suggests, a flat plane upon which to communicate. Horizontalidad necessarily implies the use of direct democracy and the striving for consensus, processes in which attempts are made so that everyone is heard and new relationships are created. Horizontalidad is a new way of relating, based in affective politics and against all the implications of “isms.”1 It is a dynamic social relationship. It is not an ideology or political program that must be met so as to create a new society or new idea. It is a break with these sorts of vertical ways of organizing and relating, and a break that is an opening.
To participate in any of the assemblies taking place throughout the US, and in many places around the globe, means to stand or sit in a circle, with a handful of facilitators, and speak and listen in turn, usually with general guidelines and principles of unity, and then together attempt to reach consensus—meaning to reach a general agreement that all can feel satisfied with, but that is not necessarily perfect, on whatever issue is raised, all the while doing so through the process of active listening. If one were to ask a participant about this process, which I have done countless times, she would most likely explain the need to listen to one another, perhaps she might use the language of democracy—something like direct, real, or participatory democracy—or maybe she would say that we do not have a society in which people can really participate, so that is what we are trying to do here, in this space and with this assembly. Often in these conversations, some version of horizontalism will arise. So similar is this current experience in the US to what took place in Argentina, beginning in December of 2001, where I then lived and compiled an oral history, that it is not only remarkable, it requires reflection and historical grounding.
The word horizontalidad was first heard in the days after the December 2001 popular rebellion in Argentina. No one recalls where it came from or who first might have said it. It was a new word, and emerged from a new practice. The practice was that of people coming together, looking to one another, without anyone in charge or with power over another, beginning to find ways to solve their problems together, and by doing this together, they were creating a new relationship. Both the decision making process and the ways in which they wanted to relate in the future were horizontal. What this meant was, and still is, to be discovered in its practice, or as the Zapatistas in Chiapas say, in the walk, and always questioning as we walk.
The rebellion in Argentina came in response to a growing economic crisis that had already left hundreds of thousands without work and many thousands hungry. The state provided no possible way out—and in fact offered quite the opposite. In the days before the popular rebellion, in early December 2001, the government froze all personal bank accounts, fearing a run on the banks. In response, first one person, and then another, and then hundreds, thousands, and hundreds of thousands came out into the street, banging pots and pans,cacerolando. They were not led by any party, and were not following any slogans, they merely sang, “Que Se Vayan Todos! Que No Quede Ni Uno Solo!” (They all must go! Not even one should remain!). Within two weeks four governments had resigned, the Minister of the Economy being the first to flee.
In the days of the popular rebellion people who had been out in the streets cacerolandodescribe finding themselves, finding each other, looking around at one another, introducing themselves, wondering what was next, and beginning to ask questions together.
One of the most significant things about the social movements that emerged in Argentina after the 19th and 20th of December is how generalized the experience of horizontalidad was and is: from the middle class organized into neighborhood assemblies to the unemployed in neighborhoods, and with workers taking back their work places. Horizontalidad, and a rejection of hierarchy and political parties was the norm for thousands of assemblies, taking place on street corners, in workplaces and throughout the unemployed neighborhoods. And now, ten years later, as people come together to organize, the assumption is that it will be horizontal, from the hundreds of assemblies currently occurring up and down the Andes fighting against international mining companies, to the thousands of Bachilleratos, alternative high school diploma programs organized by former assembly participants and housed in recuperated workplaces.
Horizontalidad is a living word, reflecting an ever-changing experience. Months after the popular rebellion, many movement participants began to speak of their relationships as horizontal as a way of describing the new forms of decision-making. Years after the rebellion, those continuing to build new movements speak of horizontalidad as a goal as well as a tool. All social relationships are still deeply affected by capitalism and hierarchy, and thus by the sort of power dynamics it promotes in all collective and creative spaces, especially how people relate to one another in terms of economic resources, gender, race, access to information, and experience. As a result, until these fundamental social dynamics are overcome, the goal ofhorizontalidad cannot be achieved. Time has taught that, in the face of this, simply desiring a relationship does not make it so. But the process of horizontalidad is a tool for the achievement of this goal. Thus horizontalidad is desired, and is a goal, but it is also the means, the tool, for achieving this end.
Occupy participants in the United States—as well as around the globe, from Spain and Greece to London and Berlin—organize with directly democratic assemblies, and many even use the specific language of horizontal, horizontalism, and horizontalidad. They are using horizontal forms so as to create the most open and participatory spaces possible, while now, many months into the occupations, participants are speaking of the challenges to the process as well, similarly reflecting that horizontalidad is not a thing but rather a process, and as with the Argentines, both a tool and a goal.2
In the months since the Occupy movement began in the United States there has been a tremendous interest in what occurred in Argentina.3 Countless people come up to me or write to me to share that what they read about Argentina is exactly what they are feeling, and the forms of organization are remarkably similar. They then usually ask me how that is possible. Similarly in Greece, a few months into the occupation of Syntagma Square, the group SKYA (the assembly for the circulation of struggles) asked to translate Horizontalism into Greek. It has since been translated, and in November I traveled to Athens and met with various assemblies who were beginning to use the book as a political and popular education tool. Again, as in the United States, movement participants shared how the experiences, especially of horizontalism, were so similar to the ways in which they were organizing.
Territory and Space
Not only do people in the current global movements organize in ways that are horizontal, but they are also doing so in open and public spaces. Part of the politics, as described by people all over the world, is the need to come together and to do so without hierarchy and in open spaces, where not only all can look at one another, but where a space in society is opened up and changed, whether that be a park or an occupied plaza. This opening of space is not limited to cities and large towns either. I have spoken to dozens of people involved in the movement in the United States from small towns and villages, who meet on a street corner or in a local plaza, perhaps with only a few dozen people, but still in public space. In one such instance it is a village of only 300 people.4 The importance is being visible to others, and using and changing space. It is part of the politics of intervening in a larger conversation, but on our own terms.
The importance of location to the Occupy movement—consistently sited in public spaces so as to gather participants face to face—cannot be underestimated or seen as something coincidental: it is a at the heart of the politics of the movement. Participants at each site of occupation choose to gather together and decide their own agenda. Occupiers are not protesting the state or city governments and asking them to resolve the problems of society: the politics of the movement necessarily imply that the state cannot fix the problems of society. Of course this is not to say that things cannot be made better or that there are not countless things the Occupiers want changed, such as access to housing, education, food, etc., but the crux of the politics is that the point of reference is not above (it is not the state), but is across, (looking to one another and in horizontal ways). And from that vantage point tactics and strategies are decided.
Sometimes, as with Occupy Wall Street, a place was chosen based on politics. In the case of OWS, many assemblies occurred before the actual occupation to decide what might be the best possible locations (of which there was a list of 8 potentials). Settling on Zuccotti Park was indeed a political choice, both being in the Wall Street area and also being a privatized park. But the point was, again, not to make a demand. One of the first decisions of the assembly in OWS was to rename the park Liberty Plaza, claiming it as a collective space and not, for example, asking that it be made public or demanding more public space in New York. Again, we see the gaze of Occupiers focused not on demands of the “other” but on and amongst themselves.
In Argentina the use of space and concept of territory was also central. This was true for the neighborhood assembly movement, the unemployed movements, and the recuperated workplaces. People spoke of a new place where they were meeting, one without the forms of institutional powers that previously existed. As one assembly participant described:
I understand horizontalidad in terms of the metaphor of territories, and a way of practicing politics through the construction of territory, it is grounded there, and direct democracy has to do with this. It is like it needs to occupy a space.5
The recuperated workplace movement, now numbering close to 300 workplaces, organized under the slogan of “Occupy, Resist, Produce” are almost all run horizontally and without bosses or hierarchy, and are necessarily located in specific geographic spaces. Within this space of the workplace, workers speak of the construction of new territories—and by this they are referring to not only the fact that they have occupied a space, but the ways in which they are running the workplaces together, and in solidarity with people from the community and other workplaces. The new territory is created in how they run the workplace, not just in the fact of taking it over.
The unemployed workers movements first began as protests demanding an unemployment subsidy from the state, but shortly thereafter, in the midst of the protests, they began to create something different together. Their protest took the form of a blockade: not having a place of work, they took to bridges or major intersections, with the intention of shutting down that major artery. At the same time, while blockading, they were creating horizontal assemblies to decide what to do, and developing an entire infrastructure of food, health care, media, and child care, together opening up a new space on the other side, yet as a part of the blockade. Many began to refer to this space as new, free “teritorio” (territory). Raul Zibechi’s book, “Territorios en resistencia: Cartografía de las periferias urbanas latinoamericanos,” published in 2009, deals precisely with this issue. He speaks to the importance of territory as places that are rapidly becoming sites not only of struggle, but of organization. As Zibechi describes elsewhere:
The real divergence from previous time periods is the creation of territories: the long process of conformation of a social sector that can only be built while constructing spaces to house the differences. Viewed from the popular sectors, from the bottom of our societies, these territories are the product of the roots of different social relations. Life is spread out in its social, cultural, economic, and political totality through initiatives of production, health, education, celebration, and power in these physical spaces.6
Emergency Breaks and Now Time
The various sites of the Occupy movement have all created the same two features, and ones that must be explored in depth and taken seriously: horizontal spaces and new territories in which to create new social relationships.
“Marx says that revolutions are the locomotive of world history. But perhaps it is quite otherwise. Perhaps revolutions are an attempt by the passengers on the train—namely, the human race—to activate the emergency break.”7 Walter Benjamin’s words perfectly illuminate what has been going on around the globe throughout 2011—and in many places before this as well, such as with the Zapatistas in Chiapas, Mexico and in Argentina. The movements are about shouting “No!,” “Ya Basta!,” “Que Se Vayan Todos!,” about the collective refusal to remain passive in an untenable situation. And so we pull the emergency brake, and in that moment freeze time and begin to open up and create something totally new. What it is still is not totally clear, and that is a part of it. There is a desire to stop time and open something new, creating new relationships and more free spaces. What this looks like is being discovered, as a part of the process, as it is created, which is also how it is being created, horizontally and in geographic space.

Matthijs de Bruijne will hold a workshop on the cartography of contemporary Moscow in the eyes of two very different groups. One consists of art students, the other of maintenance workers employed at art spaces, many of them migrants from Central Asia. The workshops will generate psychogeographical maps of the city whose later superimposition will later reveal something about the contradictions at the root of contemporary art. Workshop language: Russian with translation.
The project is realized as part of the International Cultural Programme of the Polish EU Presidency coordinated by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute.
The project is cofinanced by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland.


Oh boy, this was a long trip! I left the house on the 27th (Montreal, Canada) at 2:30 pm, arrived at the airport at 3:45 where a first disagreement was waiting. I travelled on SWISS airlines but booked my ticket with Air Canada, both are members of the airline group Star Alliance. The people at the counter couldn't find my trip's second leg, Zurich to Vienna. It took them more than half an hour to resolve the issue and as I was later than usual to show up at the airport this made my stress level go pretty high.
The first flight out of Montreal to Zurich was late so, of course it made me miss my connection to Vienna in Zurich. Lost almost 4 hours there, Plus add 6 hours of jet lag and very little sleep on the plane, a baby cried for the whole duration of the trip, and the body was starting to get weaker. I got a few minutes of sleep on a bench at the Zurich airport though, but you know what airport sleep can be, not the best with all the noise around.
The plane to Vienna was also a little late, good thing that I'm arrving 3 days before the event starts!
In Vienna I had to take a train to the main train station from the airport, from there I had to wait close to an hour to hop on a train to Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, change train there to Trnava, add another 2 hours for this part. I finally arrived in Trnava at 4h15. A short taxi cab later I was at the university residence where most of us will stay for the duration of the tournament. I turned around quite a bit asking people about it, including to the man who was in charge of receiving me, and got sent to a few wrong turns before I finally could get a shower after 20 hours of travelling. The guy at the counter spoke very little english and couldn't find my name on his reservations list although one of the organizers told him I was coming just a couple hours before that! I finally got my room, just had time to get a shower before they switched me 5 stories higher when he finally realized which group I was part of.
A little later I had my first meal in Trnava, I was totally hungry. I then visited a little. Trnava is a charming little city, here's a few first impressions in pictures:
The tournament starts on the 31 st so I have 2 more days to adjust to the jet lag and the environment, glad I did arrive early.

What makes Lake Kaindy truly remarkable is that it contains an underwater forest. Visible on the lakes surface are the tall, dried-out tops of submerged Spruce trees that rise above the water’s surface like the masts of sunken ships. They are the only sign of the amazing frozen forest below the water’s surface.
The water is so cold (even in summer the temperature does not exceed 6 degrees) that the pine needles remain on the trees, even after a hundred years of being submerged. During the winter, the lake freezes and becomes a popular spot for ice diving.
The lake is 400 meters long and is located in Kazakhstan’s portion of the Tian Shan Mountains, about 129 km from the city of Almaty. The lake was created after an earthquake in 1911 triggered a large landslide blocking the gorge and forming a natural dam.

Images-As summer is around the corner (we promise), it’s time to start thinking about some fun in the sun. So, with that in mind, Beach Tomato have, as ever, done their ever-so-tough job of hunting down the world"s best beaches on which to throw a summer party.
Beachtomato-Cape Town is home to the body beautiful, and don’t they know it. With four Clifton beaches (named, originally one, two, three and four) Clifton one is the place to see and be seen. There are fewer beautiful settings for the beautiful to flock; the sand is powder white, the water clear (albeit freezing) and the sunset one of the best in the world. And when sundowers are slurped, the buzzing bars of Camps Bay are a mere hop, skip and a jump away. The streets are lined with alfresco bars and restaurants and there are plenty clubs in which you can see the night away
Beachtomato-La Barra, down south in little Uruguay, has long been a shiny retreat for the well-heeled, fun-loving South American party crowd. Known as the St Tropez of South America, Punta del Este is a place where the night gets going long after the sun has set – so you’ll still be partying at breakfast and only contemplating bed come lunchtime. Stamina-fuelled Brazilians and Argentinians have no problem seeing each crazy night through, we just challenge you to keep up

Legal protection for natural features on private land
Many private land owners have outstanding natural habitats or landscapes on their land and want to preserve that for future generations. Others engage in projects – such as restoring wetlands and planting native vegetation – to create or restore these areas. Land owners can use land covenants and other legal measures to help protect natural heritage for the future.
Legal mechanisms can be used to help protect natural, scenic, scientific, historical, spiritual and cultural features on private land. Examples are forest and bush areas, wetlands, tussock grasslands, coastlines, waterways, cultural and historical sites, and threatened species habitats.
Why put in place legal protection?
There are many good reasons to engage in environmental and biodiversity projects on your land. Adding legal protection – such as a land covenant to protect the area – can help to ensure your efforts aren’t undermined by future owners. Putting legal protections in place can also entitle you to rates relief and boost your chances of getting funding for your project.
Legal protection for natural areas is often required as a condition of obtaining subdivision consent.
So what are the options for you to protect natural areas? (See Footnote 1)
A land covenant is a legal agreement between the land owner and another party such as, for example, a local authority, the Department of the Conservation or the QEII National Trust. A land covenant can be entered into for the purposes of providing long-term legal protection to the natural, cultural or other values of a site. The land owner keeps ownership of their land, but the covenant is registered against the title, and it binds current and future owners. The area covered by the covenant usually needs to be defined on a survey plan.
The land covenant will contain agreed rules for the protection and management of the site. These may include restrictions on use of the land (such as preventing the erection of structures, lighting of fires or vegetation removal), requirements to fence and keep out stock, and other responsibilities. There’s usually on-going monitoring of the site. As the land owner you can have the option whether to allow public access to the land.
Different types of land covenant include:
- Open space covenants with QEII National Trust (3,659 covenants covering 99,783ha had been registered as at 30 June 2012 (See Footnote2).
- Conservation covenants with local authorities, the Department of Conservation or other authorised bodies under the Reserves Act or Conservation Act, and
- Nga Whenua Rahui kawenata (for Maori land or Crown land held under a Crown lease by Maori).
Covenants may be for a fixed period or in perpetuity. Nga Whenua Rahui kawenata may be subject to review at agreed intervals of not less than 25 years.
Other legal mechanisms
If you don’t want to establish a land covenant, there are a range of other mechanisms for protecting natural areas on your private land:
- Land can be declared as protected private land if it meets specified criteria under the Reserves Act.
- Management agreements for conservation purposes can be entered into with the Department of Conservation. These don’t bind future owners.
- Maori reservations can be established under Te Ture Whenua Maori Act 1993 (Maori Land Act 1993).
Land can also be sold, exchanged or gifted for conservation purposes.
Costs and funding
In addition to land management costs (such as fencing and pest control), costs of establishing legal protection may also include application fees, survey, legal and registration costs.
A number of agencies and organisations offer funding, advice and assistance to private land owners wanting to restore and protect natural heritage and indigenous ecosystems. These include the QEII National Trust, the Department of Conservation and Ministry for the Environment (which administer various funds), Nga Whenua Rahui and local authorities. Rates relief may also be available.
If you’re interested in knowing more about protecting natural features on your land, get some advice on your options and contact us or one of the agencies listed above.
Footnote 1 = This article focuses on protection of natural areas. Other protection mechanisms exist specifically for historic and cultural sites, such as protection under the Historic Places Act.

AEF 2012 will go deep into what the new climate normals mean and will address how the planet has adapted to human activity; How humans are adapting to planetary change; but how we can still prevent catastrophic change that exceeds our ability to adapt.
For the last four years, the Aspen Institute and National Geographic have joined forces on the Aspen Environment to gather a broad spectrum of key thought leaders for rich and engaging dialogue on the challenges of reconciling Earth's finite resources with its ability to sustain our expanding human needs. Provocative and lively discussions have covered early thinking including the Anthropocene: Age of Man and the implications that a population of 9 Billion by mid-century has on the carrying capacity of the Planet. The 2011 Forum created buzz around themes such as the importance of reproductive rights as central to managing climate change.
The 2012 edition will not spend time debating the science, but instead focus the Forum on addressing solutions for adapting to the greatest challenge of our time. Speakers include Matthew Arnold, Managing Director, JP Morgan Chase; Jason Clay, Senior Vice President, World Wildlife Fund; Sylvia Earle, Oceanographer, National Geographic Society; David J. Hayes, Deputy Secretary, Department of the Interior; Chris Johns, Editor in Chief, National Geographic Magazine or Kevin


Being a resident of the capital city, soon to be renamed "Reagan," I offer my humble and worthless tribute to the Demi-God:
I would like to propose, in light of the death of the greatest American ever to live; the one man who saved us from the Martians and the Russians; the "Ronald Reagan National Airport," be renamed the "Ronald Reagan/Ronald Reagan National Reagan Airport."
In order to show the proper respect for the magnitude of the MAN; the size of the letters would have to be increased to perhaps 6 ft. in front of the airport.
Naturally, the Metro signs would have to reflect the change. And there will be no fooling around this time. It might be necessary to build another station adjacent to the present one to accommodate the size of the letters that would be required.
All Metro stations, in fact, might need to be renamed "Ronald Reagan/Ronald Reagan Memorial Station# 1, 2, 3, " etc., in order to avoid confusion as the letters on each Metro map and guide post would have to be increased substantially to fit the achievements of the GIPPER.
The Lincoln memorial and the Washington memorial might also need a face-lift to show proper respect for the GREAT UNDERGROUND NUCLEAR TESTER, but I'll leave that to Grover Norguist.

Well the month that passed was really a great, fun-filled, action packed one (all between school… of course).
The chuseok holiday kindly awarded me the opportunity of being a tourist rather then ARC holder in Korea, which was great because I saw Korea ad its people through a somewhat different set of eyes. As you might already know (from reading my previous post), my mother was visiting from SA. She arrived on 26 September after a looooonnnggg and tiring flight. The night she arrived saw the start of all things wonderful. We managed to visit most (if not all) of the major tourist sites in Korea and I’m talking from Seoul N tower all the way to the Noryangjin Fish Market. Each obviously had its own memorable moments which will last beyond a lifetime.
The Friday night of the chuseok holiday started our shopping extravaganza (addiction). We kicked butt at the Paju Premium Outlets and afterwards got our hands on the most DELICIOUS handmade burgers Korea has to offer (in my opinion). We dined at a cute little place called Burger Hunter Plus.. .And luckily for us the kind and friendly front desk guy spoke a little English. We finally headed back to Geumchon to lay down our tired heads in preparation for the following days activities.
When I first arrived to Korea there were many places in and around Seoul that I was fortunate enough to explore. One of the places which left a lasting impression on me had to be Insadong. Hence, first on our agenda was a trip to this impressive, beautiful and unique street which is filled with so much vibrancy. We walked the street, shopped, ate and experienced all that we could… After day-tripping we headed on out to take a quiet stroll around when we found ourselves in Gwanghwamun Square… AWESOME sums it up best… as the experiences there could only be lived.
Next we hit up The Korean Folk Village… Yupp all the way in Yongin… boy oh boy was this a trip or what… An average travel time of about 7 hours to get there and then back home (as we braved the chuseok traffic craziness) DRAINED us… but this did not get us down… It was totally worth the experience. To see Korea from where it started to the technologically savvy hub it is today was truly the greatest site for me. The village was packed with locals dressed in the traditional Hanbok and babies dressed their cute little dresses and hairpieces… it was quite the sight to see. We headed back home starved as there wasn’t much Hindu friendly food to be found at the village… Mr Pizza gladly welcomed us though… we topped up our tanks and headed towards the subway.
Monday saw us head into Seoul to visit COEX Mall. And thanks to the holidays we got to watch a traditional Korean performance about the Korean Thanksgiving Holiday… and managed to squeeze in a little shopping too. The aquarium was overcrowded… but a change of scenery at restaurant Pho Mein, provided a rest stop on our days touring. We then headed to Seven Luck Casino…So different from gambling back in SA…Anyway we managed to lose ourselves some KRW… not too much though, we did not plan on breaking our bank balances. We ended of the day with our first tasting of Baskin Robins 33… which I fear has now turned into an addiction. 😀
The following day we ventured into Itaewon, had ourselves a quick bite to eat and hit the streets. There’s so much to see and do there, but one thing we could leave without doing was have ourselves some cocktails… which we did and man were they yummy and packed with a load alcohol.We traveled back to Geumchon for some kimbap, soju and good times with friends of mine who I met here in Korea.
Next on the to do list was to visit Seoul N Tower. We ‘subwayed’ and cable-car’d ourselves there late noon… There were several traditional performances and a flash-mob of teddy bears dancing to Gangnam Style… Yes, that’s right folks… teddy’s “Gangnam-ing”. Following those antics, we headed into the Observatory just before sunset… what a beautiful sight to see. Seoul really looked its best from way up high. Yet another moment the camera could not capture. ***Still Breathless***… We departed from the tower and headed in the direction of Myeongdong… somehow we ended up at Shinsegae Department Store (to do more shopping) and then back to Myeongdong to look around for a bit.
The next day we hit down the Noryangjin fish market and gee wizz did it hit us back. Okay it was a little smelly, but that comes with the situation right. Anyway all in all it was a great site. I probably saw crabs the size of fully grown husky’s and prawns the size of anacondas! It was a site I tell you. We got ourselves a good deal on some seafood (along with great service) and we headed back to Geumchon… cooler bag in hand… hoping we got all that fish back home safely. That night mom got to try the awesome Dduk Galbi that Geumchon has to offer. Along with the over consumption of more soju… I would say the day ended on a “high”!
A few days later we headed onto the Han River Cruise just before the Seoul fireworks festival. A beautiful site that pictures or videos could never capture It was experience that had to be lived. We were engulfed with the color that filled the nights sky. Soon after we were crushed by all the people trying to see the same thing we were. Koreans at that moment were not the most awesome people i thought they were. Never the less the experience was one we will remember for a lifetime. Next year however look forward to watching the you tube videos and skipping the crowds.
In the days that followed we visited Gyeongbokgung palace, experienced the closing ceremony of the Hi! Seoul Festival and munched at the best salad bar on this planet Maru Shabu!
Other sites we got to see was the Gwangjang Market (where everything looks the same). Mom also found the gem of Indian cuisine in Korea Saffron Resturant, a must for anyone who is missing that home-styled taste of food that they can only get in their mom’s kitchen.
October 24th we trekked to Everland. Korea’s very own version of Disneyland (apparently). It definitely did not disappoint I loved every site around me. I loved it even more when mom and I were getting out guts smushed around on the “Lets twist” attraction. Our trip to Everland was like the highlight of it all for me. So much so that I plan of getting myself annual membership and living there every weekend! (How I wish).
During moms last week here, we managed to get as close to South Africa again as we possibly could. We headed out to Braai Republic with the most awesome co-teacher (my co-teacher) anyone could ask for. We knocked back a few (too many) tequila’s… had ourselves some awesome food (even a poitjie) and to end it all off… sampling the BEST milk tart the world has to offer. Even better then I’ve tasted back home (Durban).
So the final weekend dawned on us and I planned on going all out for this one. It was the last weekend my mom would ever see Korea in her life again (she doesn’t plan on visiting or holidaying here again).
So what better way to be splashy and pretend to be a millionaire ( I lie I wasn’t pretending, I really felt like one ha ha ha) then to head to Gangnam, get pampered the entire day at a luxurious day spa, afterwards feeling so relaxed that we couldn’t return to Geumchon, so we had to check-in at an amazing hotel after… 9pm without any luggage…. and starving for some ” Gangnam Style” galbi.
We painted the town red enjoyed all the soju we could (again) and headed out. Soon followed a Nanta show, a flower festival extravaganza and some de-stressing shopping at Coex Mall. Man did we lived the life that weekend. And even though the result of it all may have been a broken bank balance… it was all TOTALLY worth it.
