Stories from Quick Reads and Ideas from December, 2012 Costa Rica: Of Mills and a New Year There were days when I felt the mill go slowly, too slowly, desperately slowly. Other days, I felt the mill spinning vertiginously, so I couldn't take a breathe and just wanted to get off the mill and run away. Heidy, from Mi mundo mágico (My magic world) draws a parallel [es] between a mill and the past year, and ends her post wishing all her readers a happy new year. Slovak Blogger Promotes Fairness in State Support for Businesses Blogger Robert Huran reports [sk] on the initial success of his online form [sk] for entrepreneurs, which was created two months ago in response to the news [sk] of the €200 million governmental support for ten selected companies. The reasons these companies were chosen included promises of investment and creation of 2,400 new jobs, as well as preservation of about 1,500 jobs. Now, thanks to Huran, over 200 companies are going to ask for €33 million in state support for providing over 3,200 new and existing jobs. Huran's goal is to push for clear rules that will be the same for everyone – or to discourage stimulus at all, to prevent deformation of entrepreneurial environment. Brazilian Memes and Internet Culture in 2012 What was the best of the crazy world of Brazilian memes and Internet culture in 2012?

Promoting Recycling in Macedonia Continuing the tradition that started last year (en, mk, nl, es), the Macedonian Twitter community has erected a new Christmas Tree made of plastic bottles (mk, mk, photos 1, 2, 3) in Skopje City Park in order to raise awareness of the importance of recycling. The event was again organized around the hashtag #eлkaMk (Macedonian for ‘fir tree mk’) and open source instructions [mk], announced [mk] three weeks in advance by several bloggers. The tree will be purchased by a local recycling company and the money donated to charity. Two Coins for the Boatman From Guatemala, Fe de Rata‘s blogger Juan Pablo Dardón, lists his plan [es] for the end of times: I woke up early and put two golden coins one for each shoe […] two coins I'm telling you when meteorites fall down and all this gets open as an orange […] I'll put one in each eye as I put my armas behind my head that gets open as an orange […] the boatman has work to do and deserves to be tipped “Nobody Gets Mad on the Last Day” Remembering his school days, Tomas Bradanovic [es] writes on his self-named blog “at elementary school, the last day of school year was the occasion for commiting any kind of mischievousness because there was no point for us to be sent to the principal's office”. Then, he reviews his own 2012 events and ends his post saying “goodbye 2012, wonderful year, where my worst nightmares were solved”. Macedonia: Beer Belly Blog Anniversary The “Beer Belly” blog celebrated [mk, mk] its first anniversary.

A special Christmas gift Peruvian blogger Cyrano [es] from Columna 17 ends his five-part series of Christmas-related posts republishing an article by Colombian Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez and says [es]: I hope you all like these words as much as I did and may them be my virtual present to all of you. You can read the whole series here: one, two, three, four and five [es]. Inappropriate Analogy for Greece-Macedonia Name Dispute Responding to an assertion by Gerald Knaus… Athens and Skopje face a [prisoner's dilemma]: if neither side believes that a solution is possible, and acts on this, both will lose. Zarko Trajanoski wrote on Facebook: However, the analogy with “prisoner's dilemma” is not only false, but very offensive: Athens is not a prisoner, but a prison guard and perhaps a political torturer in this case. And the outcome of this political torture, aided by Sofia as well, is the rise of the Macedonian ethno-nationalism and the decline of the liberalism, democracy and human rights. He later provided an elaborate explanation in a blog post [mk].
