CONGRATS
TO SAMUEL ZBOGAR
|
|
We
would like to congratulate former Slovenian Ambassador to the US
Samuel Zbogar for successful run at the Ljubljana Marathon 2008
that was held on October 26. In case you didn't know, during his
term in Washington, DC Mr. Zbogar also ran marathons to raise
money for rehabilitation of victims of land mines from Bosnia and
was great inspiration to many of us. The project far exceeded
expectations. (See www.ambassadorruns.org
for more information.) SlovInUS News talked to the Ambassador for
our inaugural issue. If you missed that interview you can access
it here

In
our third issue Commercial Network Services
told us how to set up a streaming
web cam with Windows Media Encoder. (click here
>> if you missed it). This time they talk about how to save
information that you can recover later if your computer breaks down.
Good backup strategy should not be ignored whether there are personal or
especially business data in question.

Good Backup
Strategy
Data is the
lifeblood of any business, and losing that data can quickly bring the
business process to a screeching halt.
A good backup strategy is essential to a successful business.
Over 50% of businesses who lose critical data never reopen their
doors. Of those that manage
to remain open, 90% will fail within two years. Read entire article
here>>. |
Kids
Euro Festival
|
How
Oscar Became a Detective (by Andrej Rozman Roza) and Why
Crocodiles Cry (by Lila Prap) Each member of the EU is represented by their artists.
For Slovenia those are famous Andrej Rozman Roza and one of my favorite
authors Lila Prap. If you have children and opportunity make sure you take
them to one of them. The
official web site of the festival suggests it is for kids from 6 to
8 but I am pretty sure older children as well as adults will enjoy their
shows. Free your calendar and be there for this awesome event. A
MUST see. http://www.kidseurofestival.org/event/performances/performance_slovenia.html Saturday
