Wenceslas Square (Václavské náměstí) is one of the main city squares and the centre of the business and cultural communities in the New Town of Prague, Czech Republic. Many historical events occurred there, and it is a traditional setting for demonstrations, celebrations, and other public gatherings. The square is named after Saint Wenceslas, the patron saint of Bohemia. It is part of the historic centre of Prague, a World Heritage Site.

Formerly known as Koňský trh (English: Horse Market), for its periodic accommodation of horse markets during the Middle Ages, it was renamed Svatováclavské náměstí (English: Saint Wenceslas square) in 1848 on the proposal of Karel Havlíček Borovský.

More spam poetry

Image by schoschie
Kenneth Niels, LOL. I wonder if they made this up by pure chance or if they use an algorithm to automatically substitute parts of the recipient's realname into the mail body. Then they could at least make sure they get the surname.

I wonder, too, if it's a coincidence that they made up this story in South Africa. I used to live in South Africa for three years. I doubt they study the biographies of thousands of recipients before sending out their mass bullshit mails.

No matter what, it's a typical »Nigeria Connection« spam mail. I wonder if there are actually people in the world who would still fall for this. Bad style, many inconsistencies (such as a From address based in Brazil) and of course, the completely absurd story which nobody in their right mind could possibly take for a serious business proposal.

And then I wonder why I am wasting time with crap like this, anyway. Prolly because it's funny.

revitalization

Image by buckshot.jones
Stop me if you have heard this before, big plans are afoot for the Packard Plant. Every urban planner, developer and schemer have weighed in on what the city should do with all this open space. The common thread in all of these proposals is some massive plan to revitalize the city. It plays on the hope, the Detroit style hope, that good times are just around the corner. It is as if we are stuck in that mid- 20th century fiction that the bad times are temporary and the new model year will see cars flying off the line and folks will be back at work. I think we know better now. As the old Springsteen song says, “these jobs are goin’, son and they ain’t commin’ back”. We realize that is our reality. Yet the idea of the next big thing pulling us out of this mess still has it hold on our psyche.

The trouble with seeking a top down cure for the city is; the smart money that such plans rely on want a clean slate. All of the clutter clouds the vision of all but the most visionary thinkers. So the big money sits on the sideline and waits. Maybe the answer is on the street. Think about the last time the country sought to tame the frontier, they created the homestead program to draw folks to the Great Plains. The urban prairie could use such a plan. The idea being, offer free land to individuals who want to come in and build, not just a house but a business. Detroit is rife with blocks of abandoned store fronts, offices and factories. Perhaps a plan that gifts the property to a business owner on the condition they open a shop for a certain number of years may encourage a few folks heavy on vision and courage, if light on cash. It would sure be a far cry better than watching these blocks continue to rot until nature clears the land.

CESACOPA is a coffee cooperative located in Amboim province, Angola. The main objective of the CESACOPA project is to increase coffee quality standards for export while at the same time making a clear contribution to the community e.g., employment generation and pollution abatement. The coffee is produced without use of chemicals or pesticides and the fertilizer used is organic. It is also noted that the project impacts some 6000 families as direct beneficiaries. Leo Soldaat, the Senior Advisor of Financial Services at Hivos, explained, ‘At Hivos, we stand for supporting entrepreneurial activities with important impact in the areas of poverty, climate change and food security. Our focus is on people living in rural areas and CESACOPA is an example of a promising initiative taking these challenges head on.’

This year’s African Finance and Investment Forum, held on the 18th of June at the Rabobank Headquarters in the Netherlands, gathered leading global representatives from a variety of sectors to highlight the financial tools, solutions and growing policy trends needed to ensure economic growth for Africa’s SMEs. The discussions and proposals highlighted at the forum are essential for a cross section of African sectors and look at concrete strategies needed to establish their full economic potential. The Rabobank Foundation, Centenary Bank, Global Development Cooperative, the World Bank, GIZ (German International Cooperation Organisation), FARA and the Shell Foundation are just a few of the organisations that attended the AFIF this year.

Radisson Edwardian in Canary Wharf, London.

Image by FromTheNorth
The Radisson Edwardian hotel in Canary Wharf / London, UK in June 2009.

Canary Wharf is a large business and shopping development in East London, located in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, centred on the old West India Docks in the London Docklands.
Rivalling London's traditional financial centre, The Square Mile, Canary Wharf contains the UK's three tallest buildings: One Canada Square (sometimes known as the Canary Wharf Tower) at 235.1 m (774 ft); followed by 8 Canada Square and the Citigroup Centre, both at 199.5 m (654 ft).

Canary Wharf is built on the site of the West India Docks on the Isle of Dogs. From 1802, the area was one of the busiest docks in the world. By the 1950s, the port industry began to decline, leading to the docks closing by 1980.[2]
Canary Wharf itself takes its name from No. 32 berth of the West Wood Quay of the Import Dock. This was built in 1936 for Fruit Lines Ltd, a subsidiary of Fred Olsen Lines for the Mediterranean and Canary Island fruit trade. At their request, the quay and warehouse were given the name Canary Wharf.[3]
The Canary Wharf of today began when Michael von Clemm, former chairman of Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB), came up with the idea to convert Canary Wharf into back office. Further discussions with G Ware Travelstead led to proposals for a new business district. However, Travelstead was unable to fund his project[4] and sold it to Olympia & York.
Construction began in 1988 with the first buildings completed in 1991 which included One Canada Square that became the UK's tallest building and a powerful symbol of the regeneration of Docklands. Upon opening, the London commercial property market had collapsed and Olympia and York Canary Wharf Limited filed for bankruptcy in May 1992.
