They are asking for everybody that got good ideas to make together a D.I.Y festival made by woman. If you want to send your zine, band demo, art, patche, mixtapecd, you are welcome.

„Narobe is translated as Wrong.“ - Roman Kuhar, editor-in-chief of Narobe magazine and blog (Ljubljana), in conversation with Tea Hvala.

Submitted by RosaReitsamer on Wed, 08/18/2010 - 14:53

Topic:

Activism

Grassroots media in Europe

LGBT and queer issues

Teaser Image:

Roman Kuhar: Narobe (http://www.narobe.si/ and http://www.narobe.si/menu/arhiv) is translated as Wrong. It‘s a kind of subversion which we wanted to have in the title. But people keep asking us why we call ourselves Wrong, isn’t this supposed to be a magazine which affirmed with the LGBTIQ community? The fact that we get this kind of feedback is a sign that choosing this name was a good decision. We had different names and it was a long discussion in the editorial board. At the end we were voting and Narobe was the outcome.

Solar plane is latest breakthrough as solar energy gains momentum

Submitted by AddisonU on Wed, 08/11/2010 - 08:45

As heat waves roast major cities around the world, solar energy is a hot topic. From residential rooftops to power plants to experimental aircraft, solar energy is having its season in the sun. Thursday, after spending 26 hours aloft, a solar powered airplane landed. And this week the Obama administration pledged $ 1.85 billion in guaranteed loans to develop a solar energy power plant and also some solar panel factories. But there's a cloud.
