Each branch of the City Public Library in Gdynia is a hive of activity and a great place for the local community to meet, learn new things and have the use of many facilities. Library is a place full of books- but for sure not boring! Public Libraries offer more than just books, for example: children’s programs, workshops and many interesting events for local communities.

Library is an institution, where volunteers can spend time and work with people in every age and different nationalities, who are coming there as guests. Library consists of 22 branches, which are situated in different districts of Gdynia, but volunteers will work mainly in two branches located in the district Gdynia Chylonia (what does not exclude activities and cooperation with other branches).
The aim of the library is to meet cultural needs of the society.
Main actions concern groups of people socially and culturally excluded – in terms of not equal access to social and cultural goods, where society is rather poor (in both financial and cultural way), where dominates passiveness among people. Therefore library prepares workshops with local artists and social workers, reading aloud, making illustrations with kids, lessons how to use book resources, how to search information in internet and books, English lessons for young and older people – equalizing opportunities, dancing workshops, theater workshops, photo workshops, art workshops.

Op de sociale media bleef het overlijden van de voormalige verdediger alles behalve onbesproken. Onder meer de 3FM diskjockey’s Barend van Deelen en Wijnand Speelman, ex-tennisser Raemon Sluiter en rapper Ali Bouali (Ali B) besteedde donderdagavond of vrijdagochtend een tweet toen ze kennisnamen van het trieste nieuws. Ook vanuit de voetbalwereld regende het condoleances op Twitter. Erwin Nuytinck, Khalid Sinouh, Rodney Sneijder, Pa-Modou Kah, Fouad Idabelhay, Vito Wormgoor, Adnane Tighadouini, Jop van der Linden, Georginio Wijnaldum, Jeffrey Rijsdijk, Rick van Wolfswinkel, Eloy Room, Nicky Hofs, Cendrino Misidjan, Gianni Zuiverloon, Kevin Strootman en Jan Arie van der Heijden hadden oog voor het overlijden van Bos. En ook Ajax jeugdspelers Jordy Bruijn en Arnoud de Moor en De Graafschap B1-speler Mike Pröpper condoleerde de geboren Nijmegenaar via Twitter. Net als ex-voetballers Peter Houtman, John de Wolf en Jurgen Wevers die nog een jaar samenwerkte met Bos.

Ook collega trainers liet het niet onbewogen zoals Feyenoord-coach Ronald Koeman, onder wie Bos assistent was bij Vitesse, ex-collega en Vitesse-assistent Albert Capellas en vriend en Anderlecht-trainer John van der Brom lieten via Twitter weten triest te zijn door het nieuws. En ook de sportjournalistiek greep massaal het mobieltje om via het medium Bos te condoleren zoals Rob van der Meer, Jeroen van der Veer, Koert Westerman, Eddy Jansen, Pascal Kamperman, Jaap Stalenburg, Humberto Tan, Mark van Rijswijk, Barbara Barend, Jeroen Elshof, Edward van Cuilenborg, Etienne Verhoeff, Jan-Hermen de Bruijn en Iwan Tol. Tol, schrijver van NUsport, De Volkskrant en de VARAgids liet via het medium weten ooit zijn opleiding journalistiek te hebben afgerond vanwege Bos. Hij besloot daartoe omdat Bos een verslaggever van een regionale krant een koekie had gegeven, daarover schreef Tol zijn scriptie.

Bos zag zoals gezegd in Nijmegen het levenslicht in het Radboud-ziekenhuis aldaar. Hij groeide samen met zijn vader, moeder en broer Hugo op in de volkswijk Geitenkamp. Van jongs af aan ging hij voetballen bij de amateurs van Sempre Avanti en later bij boksvereniging Muscular. Bos bleek voor beide sporten talent te hebben, maar koos voor de voetbalsport waar Vitesse hem op 13-jarige leeftijd inlijfde.

Op 31 augustus 1983 maakte het jeugdexponent van de velden van Nieuw Monnikenhuize zijn debuut in de hoofdmacht in de met 3-0 gewonnen wedstrijd tegen FC Wageningen. Bos speelde gedurende zijn actieve spelersloopbaan alleen voor Vitesse. Hij speelde vijftien seizoennen voor de Arnhemmers. Vooral aan het einde van zijn carrière waren er elders wat mogelijkheden om wat centjes mee te pakken, maar de clubman Bos zag er vanaf.

Sportieve hoogtepunten van Bos waren het kampioenschap in de Eerste Divsie in 1989 onder leiding van zijn favoriete trainer Bert Jacobs en alle Europese duels die de achterhoedespeler afwerkte met de club. De hoogste eindklassering die Bos in het geel-zwart behaalde was de derde plaats in zijn afscheidsjaar onder trainer Henk ten Cate.

Na zijn actieve carrière startte Bos zijn trainersloopbaan. Hij begon als jeugdtrainer en werd kampioen met de B1. Daarna werkte hij als assistent van Koeman, Mike Snoei en Edward Sturing bij Vitesse. In 2005-2006 vetrok hij naar FC Den Bosch om daar hoofdtrainer te worden. In 2009 verliet hij die club nadat hij twee keer de nacompetitie had behaald om Hans Westerhof op te volgen bij Vitesse. Twee maanden na de overname van Vitesse door de Georgiër Merab Jordania werd Bos ontslagen. In januari 2011 was Bos een kleine twee manden actief bij het Poolse Polonia Warscha met vriend Marc van Hintum als assistent, maar dat avontuur eindigde in mineur.

Vervolgens meldde FC Dordrecht zich voor Bos en hij ging daar aan de slag als hoofdcoach. In december 2011 werd hij getroffen door alvleesklierkanker. Een maand later meldt Bos zich ziek op advies van de dokter. Er zijn hoopvolle momenten voor de strijdbare trainer geweest, maar toen bleek dat de bestralingen hun werk niet hadden gedaan en er uitzaaiingen zijn bleek dat de strijd niet meer te winnen was.

Zelf heb ik Bos een aantal keer van dichtbij mogen meemaken. De liefhebber kenmerkte zijn regelmatige aanwezigheid bij jeugdwedstrijden. Daarnaast heb ik een aantal trainingen van Bos bekeken. Zo herinner ik mij de eerste keer dat ik samen met mijn broertje naar de andere kant van Nederland vertrok om Vitesse te zien trainen op Papendal in Arnhem. Bos was toen assistent van Sturing, toen ze het nog wel goed konden vinden, en wij stonden een beetje onwennig in het bos vlakbij de plaats waar de training werd afgewerkt. Vervolgens werden we door Bos geroepen en welkom geheten om de oefenstof te beschouwen, daarin viel zijn vriendelijkheid op. Daarnaast herinner ik me een persconferentie na de wedstrijd FC Den Bosch – FC Dordrecht van toenmalig Den Bosch-trainer Bos met een vlammend betoog over het duel, bij mijn eerste keer in de Den Bosch perskamer. Toen was ik zeer onder de indruk van de bezieling en de correctheid van zijn verhaal. Het was dodelijk saai, maar alle perslieden zaten ademloos naar een groot liefhebber te luisteren en er was geen speld tussen te krijgen.

Bos haalde het uiterste uit zijn spelersloopbaan en probeerde dat ook te doen als trainer. In een prachtige reportage van Joep Schreuder in Studio Sport onlangs vertelde hij de ziekteperiode erg vond voor zijn vrouw en kinderen, maar niet voor zichzelf. Ook verbaasde Bos zich dat hij ondanks veel warme reacties, van sommige mensen met hij veel had opgetrokken helemaal niets hoorde gedurende zijn ziekteperiode. Daarnaast gaf hij aan dat het zinloos was om boos te zijn dat juist hem dit moest overkomen. Kenmerkend vond ik uitspraken van voormalig assistent Zeljko Petrovic bij Den Bosch die zei: ‘’Ik ben overal ter wereld geweest, maar ik heb nergens ter wereld een beter mens ontmoet dan Theo Bos.’’ Technisch manager van FC Dordrecht Marco Bogers vergeleek Bos met zijn tweelingbroer.

Vitesse en FC Utrecht trappen vanavond in de Eredivisie af met rouwbanden voorafgegaan met één minuut stilte. Van der Heijden liet via het eerder genoemde medium Twitter weten vanavond afstand te doen van Bos zijn rugnummer vier. De wedstrijd tussen FC Dordrecht en SC Cambuur is het door het overlijden van Bos uitgesteld.

Theo Bos laat Marieke en dochter Lotte achter en twee kinderen; Luuk en Tess uit een eerder huwelijk. Ik wens familie en vrienden sterkte bij het verwerken van dit verlies.

After a few shocks on matchday 16, including Korona snatching a win at home to Legia in a five-goal thriller, and relegation-bound Podbeskidzie proving they do have a chance of survival by smashing four past a hapless Jagiellonia, Matchday 17 has a lot to live up to. Ryan Hubbard guides us through the key points of the weekend’s eight Ekstraklasa games.

Lechia Gdańsk – Pogoń Szczecin (Friday 1, 17:00 UK)

The weekend’s Ekstraklasa action kicks off on Friday tea-time on Poland’s Baltic coast, where Pogoń Szczecin make the relatively short journey to Gdańsk’s PGE Arena. After a heavy defeat on matchday 16, Artur Skowronek will be looking for a quick response against a Lechia side who could only manage a point against a severely weakened Polonia side in Warsaw.

Whilst Lechia boss Bogusław Kaczmarek will be without defender Sebastian Madera through injury, his opposite number is free from any injury or suspension headaches for the trip eastwards.

Just three points separate the two sides going into Friday’s meeting, but besides their opening day hammering of Zagłębie, Pogoń haven’t been as prolific in front of goal – scoring just fourteen times since. Lechia meanwhile have managed to hit the net 22 times, although 9 of those were through now-departed striker Abdou Razack Traoré.

Whilst the last three meetings between the two sides have all finished 2-0 to the visiting team, this game is expected to be a little closer. Lechia have only managed two home wins all season, but their opponents are just as profitable outside of Szczecin, meaning that it will possibly be difficult to set these sides apart.

Lech Poznań – Polonia Warszawa (Friday 1, 19:45 UK)

Since their 2-1 defeat at Konwiktorską in their last meeting, Piotr Stokowiec’s Polonia side has undergone massive changes – one being that striker Łukasz Teodorczyk has swapped the “Czarne Koszule” of Polonia for the blue of Lech Poznań. However due to a clause in the player’s transfer (as well as the player picking up his fourth yellow of the season last week), 21 year-old Teo will play no part in welcoming his former team-mates to his new home.

Another player missing the game due to a clause in his contract is Polonia midfielder Jacek Kiełb, who is on loan from Lech. Following his introduction against Lechia last week, Polonia looked much stronger; whilst he was also instrumental in assisting goalscorer Miłosz Przybecki, who himself could find his way into Stokowiec’s starting eleven. Elsewhere, both sides are also missing players who are suffering from long-term injuries – Lech defender Manuel Arboleda will continue to sit on the sidelines, whilst both Dimitrije Injac and Diem Yahiya miss out for Polonia.

Whilst Lech are the more successful of the two sides, Polonia lead the head-to-head meetings between the two sides by 12 wins to 10. However the last two games have both seen victories for the Kolejorz, and with the winter’s transfer activity being much kinder to the home side, it is no wonder that Lech are by far-and-away favourites for this one.

Ruch Chorzów – Widzew Łódź (Saturday 2, 12:30 UK)

Whilst the two clubs share a friendship off of the pitch, there will be no favours handed out at Ulica Cicha as both Ruch Chorzów and Widzew Łódź aim to pick up their first wins of spring. Whilst the visitors surrendered a lead away in Wrocław last Saturday, the Niebiescy will be eager to pull themselves away from the Ekstraklasa drop zone following their 0-4 hammering to Lech Poznań.

Ruch boss Jacek Zieliński is the one with the biggest selection problems for the game, with winter signing Łukasz Tymiński suspended following his fourth yellow card of the season, and injuries to Marek Szyndrowski, Gabor Straka and Maciej Sadlok. The Niebiescy also have doubts over striker Andrzej Niedzielan and goalkeeper Boris Pesković. Widzew meanwhile will be without Maciej Mielczarz and Jakub Bartkowski for their trip to Silesia.

On recent (and season) form, Widzew look favourites for this clash. With Ruch still struggling to permanently replace top goalscorer Arek Piech, their goalscoring threat has dried up significantly. In contrast, Widzew have brought in Bartłomiej Pawłowski who went on to grab his sides opener against Śląsk on Matchday 16. And with Łukasz Bróz and Mariusz Stępiński also providing a goal threat, it is difficult to look past Widzew for the win.

Piast Gliwice – Zagłębie Lubin (Saturday 2, 14:45 UK)

Coming away pointless from their Upper Silesian Derby with Górnik Zabrze, Marcin Brosz will be aiming for his side to get their first points of the spring round in front of their own supporters. However a much improved performance will be needed as they welcome an in-form Zagłębie Lubin side to Gliwice. The Miedziowi make the trip from Lower Silesia on the back of a 3-0 demolition of Pogoń Szczecin last Friday, and a 2-2 Cup Quarter-Final first leg against Ruch Chorzów in midweek.

Whilst Zagłębie are without Dorde Cotra, Arkadiusz Woźniak and Csaba Horvath through injury, their opponents Piast have a lot more to worry about. With eight players out (including Mariusz Zganiacz and Matej Izvolt), and Wojciech Kędziora still doubtful, it is of no wonder that the away side will start as favourites.

Although Piast sit atop of Zagłębie in the Ekstraklasa table, it is the latter who are the league’s form side – undefeated since the start of November. Whilst the home side’s attacking duo of Tomasz Podgórski and Ruben Jurado have hit ten goals between them, Zagłębie have the partnership of Szymon Pawłowski and Michał Papadopulos who have a combined total of thirteen so far. After they both netted in last week’s win, it seems their form has continued after winter.

Legia Warszawa – GKS Bełchatów (Saturday 2, 17:30 UK)

League leaders Legia come into Saturday’s clash in need of points, following their shock 3-2 defeat against Korona Kielce. The loss means that their four point lead over Lech has now slipped to just one, although their 4-1 cup win over Pierwsza Liga side Olimpia Grudziądz has put some confidence into their strikers. Bełchatów meanwhile will be hoping to improve on their goalless draw against Wisła – although this isn’t one of the games which Kamil Kiereś will see as key to their possible survival.

Whilst the away side have moved a number of players from their first squad, only Michał Mak is an injury problem for Kiereś. Meanwhile the leaders have five (Rzeźniczak, Efir, Suler, Salinas and Żyro) ruled out through injury, and three (Wawrzyniak, Łukasik and Radović) out after picking up a fourth yellow against Korona.

But even with their injury and suspension problems, Legia should be much too strong for GKS. Whilst Danijel Ljuboja was poor last week, Jan Urban can look towards the partnership of Vladimir Dvalishvili and Marek Saganowski which proved effective in the second half of the midweek cup win.

Korona Kielce – Śląsk Wrocław (Sunday 3, 13:30 UK)

Last week’s games saw both Korona and Śląsk come from behind to earn narrow victories in their Spring openers – Korona upsetting the odds to beat Legia, and Śląsk winning at home against Widzew. But whilst Korona will be hoping to pull themselves up into a mid-table position, champions Śląsk head to Kielce in the hope that they can start to close the four point gap on first position.

Even with Aleksander Vukovic still out, and Marcin Żewłakow terminating his contract in midweek, Leszek Ojrzyński has an almost-full squad to choose from. Śląsk boss Stanislav Levy also is able to select from an injury-and-suspenion-free squad, although it’s unlikely that new signing Adam Kokoszka will be involved after his deadline day move.

Whilst Korona will look to draw inspiration from their surprise victory last week, Śląsk now sit unbeaten in their last five games in all competitions, and will provide a strong test. Although Korona have won four of the last five between the two sides, Śląsk will be favourites to emerge victorious from Sunday’s early kick-off. It could be a very close one though.

Górnik Zabrze – Jagiellonia Białystok (Sunday 3, 16:00 UK)

It is a game of reunions in Zabrze this weekend, as Jagiellonia coach Tomasz Hajto and defender Michał Pazdan all spent time at the Stadion Ernesta Pohla, whilst Górnik striker Tomasz Zahorski returned to the club after a spell at Jaga earlier in winter.

With games against the two sides above them coming next, Górnik will be looking to close the gap now after a one-goal victory over Piast brought them to within two points of Legia at the top. Jagiellonia will be hoping for just anything positive at all after being hammered 4-0 by relegation threatened Podbeskidzie last week, and then being beaten by an unimpressive Wisła side in the cup on Thursday.

The home side will still be without defender Mariusz Magiera and striker Mateusz Zachara for the game’ and even though he didn’t move abroad during the transfer window, Prejuce Nakoulma is yet to make an appearance in a Górnik shirt since his return from African Cup of Nations duty. Whilst Jaga have fewer injury worries, it is the loss of young star midfielder, and top scorer, Nika Dzalamidze which will hurt them the most.

Whilst Jagiellonia’s defence will be still suffering from leaking those four goals in Bielsko-Biała, Górnik’s weakened attack could still struggle against the physical presence of Michał Pazdan and Ugo Ukah. However if the result is going to go one way or another, you’d do much worse than to put your money on the home side.

Wisła Kraków – Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała (Monday 4, 17:30 UK)

Ten points and two positions separate Wisła and Podbeskidzie in the Ekstraklasa table, but after matchday sixteen’s results you would be forgiven for thinking that it was the Kraków-based club who were the ones closer to relegation. Despite going down to ten-men following the dismissal of defender Arkadiusz Głowacki, Wisła could only manage a goalless draw against bottom-club GKS Bełchatów, whilst Podbeskidzie earned their greatest ever top-flight win, sticking four past Jagiellonia.

Wisła are likely to be able to bring back midfielder Łukasz Garguła, who missed last week’s clash with Bełchatów through injury, although youngster Michał Szewczyk will definitely miss out. Meanwhile the visitors will be without their winter signing Luka Gusic, who was also absent for the Jagiellonia game.

Looking at the histories of the two clubs, it is hard to imagine this game being anything other than a home win – however the head-to-head suggests that this one is a little harder to call. In their five meetings, it is actually Podbeskidzie who have the better record, winning two compared to Wisła’s one.

O maior evento desportivo norte-americano ligou mais de 100 milhões de pessoas interessadas em presenciar o embate entre os Baltimore Ravens e os 49ers. Fora do campo e dentro dos ecrãs o embate é igualmente intenso por entre as diferentes marcas que se querem mostrar a uma vastíssima audiência de consumidores. Por milhões em troca de 30 segundos, os anúncios foram variados, desde o humor até à criação de histórias e houve quem apostasse na interacção com o público, como a Coca-Cola e a Audi.

Apesar de ter passado três dias na capital da Polônia, as agruras do clima não me deixaram espaço para muita coisa além de algumas reuniões de trabalho e um jantar com meus anfitriões. Três dias de um clima cinza, frio abaixo de zero e uma neve fina a cair constante e que me impediu de vagar pelas ruas das cidades que visito como sempre gosto de fazer. Mas esses três dias trancados entre as paredes do escritório, olhando a neve cobrir de branco as extensas planícies que envolvem Varsóvia, me deram tempo para refletir como devem ter sido brutais os dias da segunda Guerra Mundial.

Mas não vou falar da invasão alemã, ou do sofrimento do gueto judeu de Varsóvia. Não vou falar dos campos de concentração ou da opressão Stalinista ou da luta dos trabalhadores de Gdansk comandados por Lech Walesa, revoltados pela minguada e limitada vida que regimes comunistas impõe a seus cidadãos. Tudo isso está nos livros de história ou em páginas da Internet e quem tiver interesse pode procurar.

Com esta minha passagem por Varsóvia, prefiro lembrar de coisas boas às tristes. Lembrar-me por exemplo de Fredrik Chopin e de suas Polonaises. De Roman Polanski e de seus filmes maravilhosamente intensos e sem dúvida alguma, de Carol Wojtyla, que vestindo apenas as sandálias do pescador, foi capaz, de mudar a história da Europa.

Apenas com seu sorriso e carisma, este pequeno-gigante polonês conseguiu esfarelar o opressor império soviético sem disparar um único tiro. Bastou-lhe apenas o carisma, a personalidade contagiante, o amplo sorriso de sabedoria e seus penetrantes olhos azuis. E apenas com isto ele foi capaz de mover multidões e transformar o mundo, através do poder que o mistério da fé confere a quem nela acredita. Sem dúvida este foi o maior personagem da história do século XX 

…

E para quase concluir, deixo uma nota para meus colegas engenheiros: Quem não se lembra das primeiras e fantásticas calculadoras da HP, que introduziram o uso da “Notação Polonesa Reversa”? Esta simples e fantástica estrutura de codificação que simplifica e torna extremamente elegante a forma de calcular fórmulas matemáticas das mais complexas é, como bem diz nome, uma extraordinária contribuição polonesa à ciência dos números e cálculos. E por falar em cálculos, a terra ainda seria o centro do universo, não fosse Copernicus.

Mas o que também aprendi na Polônia é que lá, existe um hábito muito semelhante ao que temos no Brasil. Em terras tupiniquins, nossos desvairos políticos e sociais (e as vezes familiares) sempre acabam em pizza. E na Polonia, se não é pizza, de forma similar tudo sempre acaba em uma boa dose de Vodka…

Wyborova!!!!   Tchin-Tchin.

We’re back!!!

Ten-and-a-half weeks after it broke up for winter, the Ekstraklasa returns in a blaze of glory on Friday evening, With just fifteen rounds left for sides to chase Europe or avoid relegation, the stage is set for one if the most interesting Rounds in recent history. Here, Ryan Hubbard gives his top three betting tips for Ekstraklasa round 16.

Polonia Warszawa – Lechia Gdańsk (Friday 22, 19:45 UK (20:45 CET))

Whilst Polonia strolled through autumn playing some of the most attractive and effective team football in the Ekstraklasa, Lechia were hugely reliant on individual players to grab the goals which pulled them into sixth position. However, with a winter transfer window not as good as either side hoped, both sides now have something on common – their key goal scorers are no longer there.

Nine-goal Abdou Razack Traoré , the club’s top scorer, saw his Lechia contract expire on New Year’s Eve. Unable to agree a new deal in Gdańsk, he found his way to Turkish side Gaziantepspor, leaving Lechia short on attacking power. Whilst they have brought in Paweł Buzała from bottom club GKS Bełchatów to play alongside Ricardinho, Burkina Faso international Traoré has big boots to fill.

Meanwhile at Konwiktorska, the exodus has left Polonia very short on attacking power. With their two leading scorers in Vladimir Dvalishvili and Łukasz Teodorczyk both gone, as well as attacking fullback-cum-winger Tomasz Brzyski, it’ll be a surprise to see which Polonia side emerges from winter.

Polonia – Lechia to score under 2.5 goals is at 1.53 at Unibet.

Korona Kielce – Legia Warszawa (Saturday 23, 17:00 UK (18:00 CET))

After the winter they have had, you’d have to be a little bit silly – or maybe know something that we don’t – to bet against Legia. A number of quality signings coming through the door at Łazienkowska, one after another, and already they are beginning to hit form.

Whilst young Bartosz Bereszyński will likely not start, he has been busy hitting goals in pre-season, whilst since his very recent move from Polonia, Vladimir Dvalishvili has netted three times in two games in preparation for Spring. Alongside Danijel Ljuboja and the returning Marek Saganowski, it’s difficult to imagine a situation where Legia couldn’t score.

Add on top of that the fact that Korona’s defence shipped four in their last meeting with Legia, this game looks the most likely to see a goalfest.

Legia to beat Korona with a one-goal handicap is at 3.80 with Unibet.

GKS Bełchatów – Wisła Kraków (Sunday 24, 13:30 UK (14:30 CET))

It hasn’t been the season which Wisła fans had hoped for – languishing in the bottom half, with poor performances all around. But it hasn’t been as bad as Bełchatów’s. Sitting dead last on just six points, they look dead-certs for relegation – even with fifteen games remaining.

Whilst Wisła have lost star midfielder Maor Melikson, they still do have quality in their ranks – Łukasz Garguła, Tsvetan Genkov and the returning Patryk Małecki are strong enough for many Ekstraklasa sides.

Bełchatów have however seen a mass change in personnel, which could take a lot of time to settle. Kamil Kiereś almost seems to be preparing his side for the Pierwsza Liga already, so it is of no wonder that the Biała Gwiazda start out as favourites at the Stadion GKS.

Wisła to beat Bełchatów is at 2.00 with Unibet.

Que me disculpe la necesidad, si a pesar de ello me equivoco.

Que no se enoje la felicidad por considerarla mía.

Que me olviden los muertos que apenas si brillan en la memoria.

Que me disculpe el tiempo por el mucho mundo pasado por alto a cada segundo.

Que me disculpe mi viejo amor por considerar al nuevo el primero.

Perdonadme, guerras lejanas, por traer flores a casa.

Perdonadme, heridas abiertas, por pincharme en el dedo.

Que me disculpen los que claman desde el abismo el disco de un minué.

Que me disculpe la gente en las estaciones, por el sueño a las cinco de la mañana.

Perdóname, esperanza acosada, por reírme a veces.

Perdonadme, desiertos, por no correr con una cuchara de agua.

Y tú, gavilán, hace años el mismo, en esta misma jaula,

inmóvil mirando fijamente el mismo punto siempre,

absuélveme, aunque fueras un ave disecada…”

 Wislawa Szymborska, la versión que es utilizada en este fragmento, es la traducción de Gerardo Beltrán, en  Mil alegrías – Un encanto de 1967.

Polonia

Polonia se encuentra ubicado en Europa oriental y es uno de los países con mayor desarrollo industrial de los que se unieron a la Unión Europea en 2004 (Eslovaquia, Eslovenia, Estonia, Hungría, Letonia, Lituania, Rep. Checa, Chipre y Malta). Su territorio abarca 312,685 km2 y delimita sus fronteras con Bielorrusia, Rep. Checa, Alemania, Lituania, Eslovaquia y Ucrania. Tiene salida al mar Báltico en su borde fronterizo norte donde se encuentra la ciudad de Gdansk, el mayor puerto polaco y la cuarta ciudad más grande del área metropolitana lo que la hace una importante factor para el comercio exterior. El país tiene una población total de 38’216.000 donde el mercado objetivo (niños entre los 10 y 14 años) corresponde al 9,9% de dicha población.
El clima polaco se caracteriza por fuertes y prolongados inviernos que alcanzan temperaturas de entre 3°C y -6°C con precipitaciones repentinas; los veranos son calientes y donde se alcanzan temperaturas de 30°C también con precipitaciones repentinas y tormentas eléctricas. Varsovia, la capital, alcanza los 2’375.000 habitantes que invierten el 4,1% de sus ingresos anuales tan solo en calzado. El calzado y la ropa, entre los gastos anuales totales en bienes y servicios consumidos por los polacos, ocupa el séptimo puesto, dejando un total de €1,9 billones de euros al año. Dicha cifra ha tenido un ascenso marcado del 3% desde el 2004. De los zapatos comprados, al menos tres cuartos son originarios de las importaciones hechas por Polonia; en promedio los polacos compraron 3 pares de zapatos al año consumiento más de €50 euros en dicho producto.
El mercado polaco crece constantemente, al igual que los salarios y las tendencias de consumo. Los polacos no tienen horarios ni días de la semana específicos para salir de compras y aprovechan que muchos de los locales comerciales mantienen sus puertas abiertas hasta las 10 de la noche y algunos hasta tienen horarios de 24 horas. Aunque el consumo de productos de calzado y ropa es relativamente alto y se mantiene a la par con los demás países de la UE, el precio es uno de los factores predominantes en la toma de decisiones, y muy pocas veces se evidencian compras por impulso.
Los segmentos del mercado, como en la mayoría del mundo, tiene en la punta al calzado femenino, seguido del masculino y por último al infantil; es de suma importancia hacer énfasis en el gran crecimiento que ha tenido este último desde el 2008. En ese año se compraron aproximadamente 45 millones de zapatos; se espera que este año se vendan más de 195 millones de pares.
El mercado de calzado polaco es una oportunidad sin mucha explotación que puede traer grandes beneficios a la industria colombiana por los acuerdos comerciales vigentes. Entre estos se encuentra el SGP+ que permite la entrada de productos de cuero sin ningún arancel. Además, el segmento escogido es uno en constante expansión al que se le está prestando nueva atención en busca de nuevas opciones y alternativas.

Va reamintesc ca in timp ce Romania se lupta in aceasta saptamana cu articolele de presa din intreg occidentul, fie ca e vorba de migratie, infractionalitate, banuieli asupra sigurantei controlului exporturilor de carne si multe multe altele, Polonia, numai in acelasi interval de timp puncteaza magistral de trei ori (si asta este sinteza care a ajuns la noi) – campanii de atragere a studentilor straini in universitatile poloneze, intalnirea diplomatilor si ofiterilor de diplomatie publica cu jurnalistii straini pentru prezentarea implementarii unor proiecte europene de anvergura si….iata cateva fotografii surprinse la discursul presedintelui Obama despre Starea Natiunii (urmariti pozele pana la final ca sa intelegeti de ce lor nu le mai trebuie vize in SUA iar noua da…):

 Aceasta este diplomatie publica, asa se foloseste si acestea sunt rezultatele. Sper ca v-a placut .

Detroit serves up romance in a big way on Valentine’s Day. Bistros, cafes, and five-star establishments are outdoing themselves in celebrating the day of love. Looking for an intimate dining experience? Why not try one of these unique Motor City and Metro Detroit suburb restaurants? Note–I mislabeled Traffic Jam (it should have been Traffic Jam and Snug). Some (rude) kind Yahoo! commenter pointed that out. I knew that–just got used to calling it TJ. Anyway, if you’re looking it up, make sure you get the right venue. Not going anywhere near Detroit this Valentine’s Day? Why not hunt up a romantic venue in your own city? Been meaning to try that little bistro on the corner? Wondered what that new place in town was like? Give it a try? Think outside the (candy) box. Try somewhere new. Who knows? It might just be the most intimate meal you’ve ever had!  Photo on left was taken at the Polonia. I didn’t feature this one in this piece, but it would definitely make the Valentine’s Day cut. Intimate, Romantic Restaurants in Metro Detroit ]]> http://igormocanu.wordpress.com/2013/02/12/rasovszky-un-adn-asa-mai-post-punk/ Tue, 12 Feb 2013 09:25:18 +0000 igormocanu http://igormocanu.wordpress.com/2013/02/12/rasovszky-un-adn-asa-mai-post-punk/ http://romybeat.wordpress.com/2013/02/11/la-povera-italia/ Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:39:44 +0000 romybeat http://romybeat.wordpress.com/2013/02/11/la-povera-italia/
