Zrada Cultural Academy () is a popular band, who performs neo-Ukrainian folk rock music. They hail from Winnipeg, Canada. The Canadian born musicians use their Ukrainian heritage as a source of inspiration for their ethno-punk/folk/ska/reggae flavoured music. The word Zrada in Ukrainian means treachery.
Overview
The Canadian prairies have always been known as a land strong in Ukrainian Heritage. Ukrainian folk music can be heard in every town and city from Edmonton to Winnipeg. Many Ukrainian prairie bands have played weddings, zabavas ( Ukrainian dance parties), and socials for over a century, and their legacy continues to the present. In their spirit, a new band has emerged to continue this rich tradition.
Zrada bursts into song with the enthusiasm that only the youth possess. After the release of their 4 song extended play “Return of the Wagon”, it was followed by sold-out shows at Winnipeg's infamous Kingshead Pub. The release of “Return of the Wagon” also left their fans with questions like “Where did the wagon go?”; “Who took it?”; and “That’s not my horse, is it?" these questions were left completely unanswered, which is why Zrada is in the studio currently recording a full length album.
While in their live show, the boys of Zrada play their interpretations of several traditional folk songs, while the majority of their material is original. The compositions, written in a folk style, strive to project the same emotion and imagery as traditional Ukrainian songs. Fans embrace the energy, the contradictions, the emotion and the beauty and join in on the ancient spiritual dance where mosh pits are more than welcome. Their shows really do require fans to bring their passports, for a truly unique cultural experience.
Zrada - The Members
Andriy Michalchyshyn - Is the band's main song writer, composer and vocalist. He plays the guitar, sopilka (flute), trumpet, drymba (mouth harp), accordion, trembita ( Hutsul shepherd's horn)
Taras Babiak - Accompanies with Bass, adding to the unique groove, and backs up on vocals.
Dobryan Tracz - He rounds out Zrada's vibrant and exciting sound. He plays the guitar and Trans-Carpathian whistle, and backs up on vocals.
Mikhas Chabluk - He is a relentless violinist, and backs up on vocals.
Steven Sirski - He is the architect of Zrada's complex percussion and plays drums.
Zrada - The Band
There is ambiguity over the date of formation of The Zrada Cultural Academy some say it was founded April 16th, 2006, others says earlier in 2005. Regardless of the date they have been forging music ever since. All members of Zrada Cultural Academy were born in Canada. All band members have been involved with everything Ukrainian, including Ukrainian music, since they were born into very musically oriented families. Zrada would not be where it is today without the support of their families, or the perogies provided by their Baba's. The members feel a strong and passionate connection to their ancestral homeland, which is what brought them together to express of their culture, their love of good music and a passion for their ancestral homeland. It is this emotional mixture that leads to Zrada's distinct sound.
They feature songs that drive forward with the passion and intensity of the Cossacks fighting spirit for Ukraine many centuries ago. The pounding, but danceable, beats and rhythms are provided by the funkiest rhythm section in Winnipeg, Steve and Taras. The vocals and lead guitar melodies are performed by the behemoth, Andriy, and are accompanied by the fiery violin of Mikhas and the violent guitars of Dobryan. The Zrada Cultural Academy is not just a band, but a school to learn the new wave of Ukrainian
music. Zrada's style of music is a unique mix of Ukrainian and Eastern European folk melodies with ska, reggae, punk and rock twist.
The members of the band set out with the goal to take their Ukrainian roots into the modern world by fusing it with music they grew up with in Winnipeg. Inspired by Balkan and Slavic melodies; sultry gypsy dances; so-Cal punk rock, reggae and Ska, Zrada Cultural Academy's sound is a tight maelstrom of intricate melodies, unyielding grooves, and emotional beauty. Other sources of inspiration include famous influential Ukrainian figures such as Taras Shevchenko, Ivan Franko, Lesia Ukrainka, and Dr. Oleksander Tysovsky.

Free Fair Online Network
Fair Online Network (FON) means a non-profitable service, where free web-sites connected to an interactive interface are provided for the means to establish direct two-way communication between the users and their target groups looking for an exchange of goods. FON provides different tools to help to do trading and prohibits interference with brokerage.
History of FON
In the beginning of 21st century the e-business sites acted as brokers between the producers and their customers. The freedom of the virtual space could mainly be experienced via technological features. After launching the first Fair Online Network in 2007 the dimensions were expanded by removing financial boundaries. These networks gave an opportunity to own dynamic web-sites and deeply interactive communication channels in one central e-business portal for free. The network provided the interacting parties innovative tools in making business but by any means it never controlled their virtual or physical space.
The first Fair Online Network was established in Estonia in 2007 by Laat.ee (laat - fair). The idea was to give free support to the various small domestic producers and help them compete with big foreign companies which were well-financed for massive marketing in the country.

www1 is a prefix used on the internet to create mirror websites and is often used while the original server is being updated or modified. This is not necessary for websites that do not experience vitally important traffic such as government websites and high traffic search engines. Also this can be used to divide traffic from different geographic regions.
www2 and www3 are also commonly used in much the same matter, in supplement of the more traditional www. In fact this prefix is simply a hostname that could be changed to anything.
Problems
The use of such mirrored websites can cause a drop in importance of a website for large search engines to reduce duplicate results for their users.
