taiwanese startup gogoro announced tuesday that riders of their smartscooters will soon be able to change batteries at px mart ( \u5168\u806f\u798f\u5229\u4e2d\u5fc3 ) , a leading supermarket chain in taiwan , making it more convenient for them to power up their scooters .\nat the same time , leading fmcg retailer px mart is not only aggressively expanding their store numbers , but also increasing their offerings to include more healthy , fresh produce and greater shopping convenience , which in turn helped attract young age shoppers of under 35 , and repositioned themselves from a traditional store to modern trade supermarket . the strategy also proved to have a great impact on the cvs sales , where 15 % of the lost sales for the past year went to px mart , with dairy products , frozen food , beverage , biscuits and snacks amongst the most affected categories for cvs .\npx mart is a budget supermarket , although there has popped up a lot more of these recently as they took over a government - run chain of supermarkets . they mostly sell local stuff , but tend to have a few imported items as well . generally quite a cheap place , but most stores don\u2019t sell things like fruit , vegetables and unprocessed meat .\nthe company announced today that more charging stations , or gostations , will be installed at 20 of the px mart branches across the island by the end of june , and the network will be further expanded by the end of 2017 to cover the western part of taiwan . customers will be given more options to recharge their scooters without having to worry about dead batteries .\na - mart ( previously known as geant ) is another french supermarket chain , but generally it\u2019s a lot more localized than carrefour and you won\u2019t find the same amount of imported items here . that said , a - mart is generally a bit cheaper than carrefour , but there aren\u2019t as many around . a - mart tend to stock slightly different brands and items than carrefour and it\u2019s a good place to have a look in if you can\u2019t find what you\u2019re looking for in carrefour . again , the various shops seems to carry different items , so just because one geant has it doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ll find it on another one . the larger the store , the bigger chance that they\u2019ll have something a bit more special it seems .\nin a recent report ( 2014 / 12 / 4 ) released by taiwan\u2019s fair trade commission on the 2013 performance of convenience stores ( cvs ) , which stated that taiwan\u2019s cvs is showing a 2 % decline in shopping traffic , the first decline in past 5 years . world leading research agency kantar worldpanel also observed trends of cvs decline in the food market * from their latest report , and after some in - depth research , discovered that other than the food safety incidents , it was leading fmcg retailer px mart\u2019s new branding strategy and the rise of fresh takeout food that are responsible for this outcome .\ndiscount mart is a new - ish chain that at least has started to open up in xindian . i\u2019ve seen at least one location where they\u2019ve replaced a wellcome . it\u2019s a cheaper supermarket and they don\u2019t seem to stock anything unique as such . i haven\u2019t been able to locate a website so far .\nthis warning letter is notification from the united states food and drug administration ( fda ) advising you that citgo / px mart was observed to be in violation of federal tobacco laws and regulations . failure to correct these violations may lead to federal enforcement actions , including monetary penalties . your response is requested in 15 working days . on february 28 , 2017 , an inspector representing the fda completed an inspection of the establishment , located at 6101 route 209 , kerhonkson , ny 12446 . during this inspection the establishment was in violation because you or your employee sold e - liquid to a minor and failed to check identification to verify purchaser ' s age for a purchaser under the age of 27 .\nother than the impact from px mart , takeaway cups is another major factor behind the decline of cvs performance ; takeaway cups are freshly made and customized to each consumer\u2019s taste , and these traits satisfies the consumer\u2019s needs for fresh , safe and good tasting food nowadays . kantar worldpanel found that for the past year , cvs\u2019s beverage had declined a whopping 9 % in sales , where 49 % of these lost sales have switched to takeaway cups ! on top of the beverage , takeaway cups is also impacting on the sales of snacks & biscuits . kantar worldpanel pointed out that when consumers are purchasing the snacks / biscuits , nearly 40 % will also buy beverage at the same time , hence when the sales of beverage is impacted , it also started a chain reaction for related categories .\nnancy chen , kantar worldpanel taiwan\u2019s account manager , explains \u201cfood safety , px mart\u2019s branding strategy and rise of takeaway cups market are all contributing to cvs\u2019 decline . on top of that , cvs\u2019 strategy in expanding cooked food section is also competing for sales with the packaged food section . consumer\u2019s need for fresh , healthy , and customization has set the wheels rolling for the evolution of retailers , including cvs . hence it is expected that in the near future , packaged food performance is likely to further decline , therefore manufacturers will need to be prepared , that in the face of this trend , it is inevitable that certain categories may fall into a long term downward slope , and it will require manufacturers to plan and forecast more stringently on the future development of products , sales goal and resource allocation , and avoid over investment in the false hope that the market will one day return to previous peaks . \u201d\nrt mart is a local supermarket that has a partnership with french auchan and as such they carry a fair share of imported goods . they got a lot of own brand import items such as pasta , sauces , etc and it\u2019s all imported from europe and has pretty good quality . they also carry a small range of organic items . from time to time they also have a lot special time limited imports from both asia , europe and the us . rt - mart also have a large selection of imported beer and alcohol . as with most supermarkets here , the available items will vary from shop to shop , but the one in xindian is the only one i normally frequent and from time to time they have a lot of good imported goods , but it\u2019s usually not things that are in stock for long , so if you see something you want , get it there and then , as it might not be available next week .\nif you\u2019re moving to or have just moved to taiwan and more specifically in this case , taipei ( as it\u2019s the part of the country i\u2019m familiar with ) , it can be hard to find certain things , as you\u2019ll most likely not recognize any of the supermarkets here from back home , unless you\u2019ve got carrefour or geant ( now a -

ho ( \u8521\u5efa\u548c ) at a charity event held on saturday .\nto better serve consumers , we think it ' s important to offer a complete product mix ,\nhe said .\nfresh food is a powerful tool to boost customer traffic . the chain has seen fresh food contributing to around 15 percent of revenues in the 20 - strong stores , with one on taipei ' s nanjing e . road even reporting 30 percent of fresh food sales , chairman lin ming - hsiung ( \u6797\u654f\u96c4 ) said .\nthat store has an advantage of being located in an area with a high population of office workers and no traditional markets nearby ,\nlin explained .\nthis would become the principle on which the firm bases decisions regarding which stores it will introduce fresh food to . its initial plan will be to stock fresh produce in downtown stores where busy white - collar workers may find it convenient to shop .\ntaking a different approach from hypermarkets where the maxim is\nthe bigger the better ,\nmost pxmart outlets are between 150 ping ( 495m2 ) and 200 ping and situated in inconspicuous areas , especially in second - tier counties and townships , because\nwe couldn ' t afford to extra expenditures like high rents and we want to offer the best prices to consumers ,\ntsai said .\nits major focus now is to extend its tentacles into urban areas and islets like kinmen , with a mid - term goal of opening 500 stores by 2010 , which tsai said might be achieved ahead of schedule .\nmany attribute pxmart ' s fast expansion to its successful policy of offering hypermarket - level prices on a supermarket - like scale .\npxmart was formerly a low - priced grocery chain the government had set up for military personnel , government officials and teachers to buy daily necessities , and special cards were required for entry .\nin late 1998 , it was taken over by yuan li construction co ( \u5143\u5229\u5efa\u8a2d ) and transformed into a privately owned enterprise , open to the general public .\nthe firm ' s boss , lin ming - hsiung , also chairman of hwatai bank ( \u83ef\u6cf0\u9280\u884c ) , decided to maintain the retailer ' s status as a discounter that serves as\nthe community ' s good neighbor ,\nmanifested on its proximity to local neighborhoods and bare - bones interiors and store signs .\ncompared with rivals which have been busy cooperating with credit card issuers , pxmart bucks the trend and only accepts cash .\ntsai said banks usually charge handling fees of between 3 percent and 5 percent for card transactions . one time , pxmart ' s information section came back with exciting news , saying that some banks agreed to slash down the handling fee to only 1 . 8 percent .\ntheir sense of achievement was quickly deflated when lin simply waved his hand , saying ,\nthat ' s not a good idea . we ' d just hand over every penny we earn to the banks .\nthis shows how minimal the gross margin is , said richard yang ( \u694a\u745e\u660c ) , special assistant to the chairman , adding that their products are on average 10 to 15 percent cheaper than those at hypermarkets .\npeople here eat quite different things from westerners and even other asians and as such , the supermarkets stock mostly what the locals eat . i\u2019ve compiled a list of all the local supermarkets below and i have written a short description about the ones i\u2019ve been to . if anyone has additional information , please feel free to email me .\ncarrefour is the biggest supermarket in taiwan and as a french company , they stock some imported items , although depending on where you live these things might sell our more quickly than in some other areas and the selection also vary . they have specials at times when they import a selected amount of items from specific countries and they\u2019ve had big drives for us food and thai food in the past . they stock things like yogurt ( although quite expensive and usually not that good ) , french cheese ( again quite expensive ) , cereal ( also quite expensive ) , a wide range of tinned and canned food and of course french wine . some carrefours are open 24h , seven days a week .\nwellcome is a chinese supermarket chain and it\u2019s not one i frequent very often . they carry more local things , but have some imported good as well , mainly from the us . as with the larger supermarkets , all branches doesn\u2019t carry the same items , so it\u2019s worth looking around . they do at times carry some hard to find items and are usually cheaper than jason\u2019s and c ! ty\u2019super on those items . their shops are usually smaller than carrefour and geant , but the advantage is that all of the shops are open 24h , seven days a week .\nsinon is a supermarket i\u2019m not familiar with , as it\u2019s generally located in central taiwan . thanks to joesax over at forumosa i have some more information about this shop . here\u2019s what he had to say :\nyou mentioned that you\u2019d like more information about sinon ( xinnong ) . it was my local supermarket in taichung . large branches have quite a few imported goods from south - east asia and also from europe . they have some stuff that people posting in the \u201cwhere can i find\u201d forum found it difficult to get in taipei . however , i didn\u2019t mention it at the time because i wanted to preserve the illusion that people down south eat zongzi and betelnut all day . some people , such as my old boss , think that because the company was originally an agrochemical manufacturer , they know not to let their suppliers put too much pesticide on their vegies ! i\u2019m not sure about that . if you go there when the sinon bulls baseball team have just won a game , you get an automatic discount .\ntaisuco , the taiwan sugar company , also has a few large stores in southern taiwan and i know of one small location in taipei , near shida rd . i don\u2019t have any experience with these stores . they\u2019re meant to offer discount coupon books ( similar to costco ) a couple of times a year ranging from nt $ 1 , 000 - 3 , 000 in terms of discount , with with each coupon being worth about nt $ 100 . ( thanks to tainancowboy from forumosa for the update ) . there\u2019s one located near taipower station in taiwan , but it looks like nothing more than small wellcome .\nfor those with a bit more money to spend , there are also some upmarket supermarkets here , although there\u2019s only a few of them , so you\u2019ll have to do some traveling to get there in most cases .\nfirst up we have jasons , the one i\u2019ve been to is located in the bottom of the 101 . they used to have a wide selection of imported food from all - over the world , but the store in the 101 building has about halved in size due to the fact that din tai fong moved in next door and took over a lot of their space , so it\u2019s not as good of a supermarket as it was a few years ago . they\u2019re anything but cheap , although if you\u2019re looking for something special , this might be a good place to find it . they\u2019re big on organic and healthy stuff as well and if you have special dietary needs , then this might be the place for you . don\u2019t bother with the deli counter for sliced meats , as the staff isn\u2019t very knowledgeable and the stock is also quite limited . sometimes you can score a bargain or two here , especially when they have a promotion or sale going . recently jasons has been expanding with multiple new , smaller stores around the island . the company has also taken over a few wellcome stores in taipei and possibly elsewhere .\nnext up we have c ! ty\u2019super which again offers a wide range of imported goods , although more so from japan and the uk it seems than from other parts of the world . they\u2019ve improved over the past couple of years and they have the best supermarket delicatessen which among other things sells locally made ham ( as in real ham , not processed square stuff ) that is much cheaper than the imported options . they do of course also have a wide range of imported deli - meats and cheeses as well , but the selection can vary immensely depending on when they got new stock in . this is also a good place for various other odds and ends such as fancy olive oil , tinned / canned goods and some harder to find baking ingredients . if you didn\u2019t find what you were looking for in jason\u2019s , this might be the next best place to find it . this is also the only place i\u2019ve found that sells decent cheese slicers and graters in taiwan .\nbreeze super is as far as i know , a one off supermarket located in the basement of the breeze center located on fuxing south road . this is a japanese supermarket , but they import a lot of stuff from all - over the world , although most of what they offer is available in jason\u2019s or c ! ty\u2019super . i don\u2019t have a link to a website for them and if you know of one , please get in touch .\nshin kong mitsukoshi also has its own supermarkets , although not every store has one . they mainly stock japanese food , but as with most of these upmarket stores , you can also find some imported items . recently it seems like their selection of imported items from outside of asia has shrunk somewhat , possibly due to poor sales .\na more recent addition ( it opened in late 2012 ) is mangiamo good meats / \u6eff\u7532\u719f\u8089\u8216 which is a small deli that uses locally produced ingredients to create mostly italian and french style deli products . they do also make their own bacon as well as a wide range of sausages and spanish style chorizo ( both fresh and cured ) . if you\u2019re unsure about their products , they offer a couple of different sample platters that you can order and try on location . if you\u2019re after something a little bit special , this is the place to visit .\nthen there\u2019s of course costco which is the place to go to if you have a big fridge and freezer to fill . i\u2019d suggest getting a costco membership , it\u2019s currently nt $ 1 , 500 for a year and you\u2019ll save it on your first couple of trips there . it\u2019s the cheapest place for cereal ( bulk size ) , cheese , meat and loads of other stuff . more recently they\u2019ve also started to carry things like greek yoghurt and feta cheese and they also have smaller packs of cheese that you might have a chance to finish before it goes moldy . you can also get other useful things here like bread makers , small ovens ( ovens aren\u2019t a common household item in taiwan , but more on that another time ) and just about anything else you could need for your kitchen . costco has recently ( in 2014 ) updated their website and is posting all their special offers on the website now , in both chinese and english .\nikea also stocks a certain amount of imported swedish food , although the selection isn\u2019t huge , it is a great place for us scandinavians to go when we have a craving for something from home . that said , more and more stuff from ikea is no longer made in sweden , but rather by whatever partner ikea wants to work with and branded ikea . the store near the taipei arena ( inside asiaworld ) usually sells out really quick , so if you\u2019re trying to get hold of something special , you might want to try to get to one of the other stores . they normally stock things like tunnbr\u00f6d , polarkakor ( or at least an ikea version of it ) , kn\u00e4ckebr\u00f6d , kaviar ( not seen that in years ) , jam , frozen meatballs and a selection of swedish sweets and crisps . they also have a selection of swedish cider , beer and alcohol . this is also the only place to get julmust when it\u2019s that time of the year .\nhola is a local version of ikea to some fashion and they also sell a few food items , mostly imported things and you can find some bargains there at times . they have various size stores and the larger ones usually have a bigger selection of grocery items .\nanother place that i have yet to visit that sells food in bulk is pnp food which seems to stock a lot of specialty items . they normally sell to the hotel and catering business , but they will sell to walk - ins at their warehouse address which can be found on their website . they will also order in special things for you , but be prepared to order large amounts at a time .\nit\u2019s also worth visiting your local \u201cwet market\u201d which might have many of the items you\u2019d want , especially fruit and vegetables which can be of much better quality and at lower prices than what you\u2019d get in the supermarkets . local stores can also stock various hard to find items and i recently found that a very local little vegetable and what not shop near where i live stock beetroot when it\u2019s in season . the flower markets might also be good for fresh herbs , although you\u2019d have to have space to put the plants where you live .\nkantar worldpanel pointed out that for the past year * * , the string of food safety incidents had clearly influenced consumer\u2019s behaviour to lean towards the conservative end , where they not only cut back on purchase of non - necessities , number of shopping trips had also declined ; and like many other key retailers , cvs also suffered from decline in shopping population .\n* food market refers to consumers goods including packaged food and beverage . * * the past year refers to 52 weeks ending 2014 / 11 / 30 , and is being compared with the same time last year .\nour website uses cookies to improve the user experience . by continuing to use this site you agree to our use of cookies .

inspired festoons of fruit and flowers . leaf shapes were popular for plates , shells for oyster plates and bees for honey pots .\npresent day dictionary compilers and online search engines\u2019 primary definitions treat \u2018maiolica\u2019 and \u2018majolica\u2019 as interchangeable . fans of tin glazed maiolica ( with an \u2018i\u2019 ) and fans of lead glazed majolica ( with a \u2018j\u2019 ) both feel this is overdue for correction . we can see they are different . we know they are different . do they not deserve one clear sense each ?\n1 . majolica n . a spelling of maiolica n . used in us until the present time , and in england until early 1870\u2019s , after which the spelling \u2018maiolica\u2019 was encouraged .\nas long ago as 1875 the south kensington museum made a first attempt at persuading the public to use \u2018maiolica\u2019 only for tin - glaze and \u2018majolica\u2019 only for lead glaze . they published two booklets entitled maiolica ( tin glaze ) and majolica ( coloured lead glazes ) to make clear the distinction . further enquiry reveals that only \u2018maiolica\u2019 was published . the \u2018majolica\u2019 publication was a spelling error which the v & a museum ( formerly the south kensington museum ) will correct in due time . only when we asked to read it did they realise the error .\na stunning antique majolica vase of a sweetcorn . circa 1890 english majolica corn on the cob . a very collectable piece of english majolica hand painted sweetcorn design pitcher jug . height 22cm width 15cm ( including handle and spout ) condition -

[ 3 ]\n' majolica ' ( maiolica ) was originally used to describe wares made in mediterranean europe and primarily exported through the port of maiorca . it was the first modern european pottery to achieve rich colours , opaque colours were applied over the usual red clay ( terracotta ) body , being opaque the glazes masked the colour of the underlying clay . the stiffness of the coloured glazes and the requirement to apply thickly so that the red clay body didn ' t show through meant the wares had a three dimensional feel to the decoration . early victorian tile makers like minton & co . and maw & co . used similar techniques to produce brightly coloured tiles albeit usually with an embossed body , early minton majolica tiles are quite rare and sought after however they continued in production throughout the nineteenth century . sherwin & cotton ' s and others barbotine tiles were similarly made with coloured slips applied by painting , earlier examples up until the late 1880s used buff plastic clay bodies , later examples are slip painted on top of embossed biscuit .\nearly development in the 13th century , tin - glazed hispano - moresque pottery , in such shapes as albarelli and platters , were transported from spain to italy . its name , maiolica , was derived from the spanish shipping port of majorca . in italy colorful tin glazes were applied over soft - earthenware shapes such as platters and pitchers . in the 17th century , this new pottery found its way to further development in england and stoke - on - trent . important in the 18th - century development of ceramics at stoke - on - trent were john astbury , thomas whieldon and his young partner , josiah wedgwood ; ralph wood , and thomas minton . with thomas minton\u2019s death in 1835 , his son , herbert , became president of minton & co . , thereby leading to the production of victorian majolica .\neleven french majolica ceramic items , a set of four grape plates , four asparagus plates , a large duck - form covered serving dish , and a delphin massier rooster vase and duck sugar . more . . .\nmany other continental factories ( such as germany\u2019s villeroy and boch ) made majolica in its heyday . all is sought by collectors , although pieces signed minton , wedgwood , george jones and etrusca are most highly valued .\nwe love you too rich . your first purchase was the fish swallowing fish majolica teapot and it\u2019s been fish and molluscs ever since apart from that sole pig ! we greatly appreciate the business over so many years .\nthe word majolica has been used to describe several types of wares over the centuries which are similar in that the colours are strong and bright but the materials and processes to achieve the effect have progressed over time .\nproduction had increased since 1875 but with fewer original examples and with less artistic enterprise . by the death of queen victoria in 1901 , majolica production was at an end , superseded by art nouveau and art pottery .\nwilhelm schiller & sons bohemian majolica vase . very fine twin handle vase in neutral colours . the body in floral & fauna relief work with 2 green man type mask faces to base . scrolling acanthus leaf handles .\namerica\u2019s centennial exposition in philadelphia in 1976 provided the impetus for collecting majolica . by far the best know of the american manufacturers is griffen , smith , and hill , whose etruscan majolica designs depict plant and marine life . their shell and seaweed pattern , modeled after a wedgwood design , is delicately molded and glazed in opalescent shades of pink , grey , and blue , with green seaweed accents . dinner services , bowls , humidors , and even cuspidors were available , but relatively few have survived . because of its fragility , it is rare to find undamaged examples of griffen , smith , and hill\u2019s marine majolica , making it even more desirable .\nthe majolica shared the exhibition with chinese export partridge tureens , 18 - century staffordshire figurals , plates and teapots , renaissance chargers majestic and tin - glazed , mottled whieldon plates , pale blue and white wedgwood table ornaments and potpourri urns , meissen birds , a bernard palissy 16th - century fecundity platter replicated in delft , and aesthetic movement japanesque pieces . all these were precursors of the humorous , whimsical , naturalistic 19th - century majolica .\nmajolica - makers\u2019 marks are sure way to identify a manufacturer . some marks will also date an item . marks may be impressed , embossed or printed . or written in script over the glaze , or \u2018in reserve\u2019 .\ninterest in the world at large continued also to broaden . booming trade with the east brought everything \u2018oriental\u2019 suddenly back into fashion . a further flush of national pride following petrie\u2019s excavations in egypt also found expression in majolica .\na choisy le roi french majolica glazed plate dating to the late 19th century ( 3rd republic ) . the center with raised decoration of leaves and flowers over a dark ground and the border with a greek key variant .\ndelete \u201cor sometimes lead\u201d and delete \u201ctypically used for large decorative items , tableware , tiles and figures\u201d to arrive at a good definition of minton\u2019s rare tin - glaze \u2018english majolica\u2019 product about which most people have never heard .\nthis attractive majolica pottery jug has a nice hexagonal shape . it has a blue outside with leaf and stylised wheatsheaf decoration and a green inside . the handle simulates a branch . the jug has no maker ' s marks .\n, the gaily colored , metallic - oxide - glazed earthenware , has ebbed and flowed for more than a century . right now it appears to be having a moment \u2014 again . \u201ci\u2019ve seen majolica creeping back , \u201d says\neight english majolica ceramic items , a large george jones serving dish , three geranium platters , a bread platter , and a set of three graduated pitchers , ht . to 7 1 / 4 in . more . . .\nwedgwood majolica jardiniere stand , england , c . 1860 , raspberry and yellow / green decorated pedestal with elongated panels of flowers in pots alternating with rectangular panels of cells , ht . 24 1 / 4 more . . .\nlet\u2019s start with technicalities . here is a short review of the definition of the words ceramics , pottery and majolica . once we know exactly what we are talking about , we will define what they really mean to people .\nwedgwood of all types including jasperware , queensware , majolica , transferware , rosso antico , basalt , pearlware , caneware , bone china , fairyland lustre , \u00b7ordinary lustre as well as a large selection of wedgwood reference books . \u00b7\u00b7\ntwo new york collectors of 19th - century majolica , marilyn g . karmason and joan b . stacke , began in 1976 , shortly after they met and became friends , to amass comprehensive holdings . each now owns about 1 , 500 pieces , and their collections - almost identical , due in part to the abundance of material available until now - are of mostly british and american majolica , but include portuguese and french pieces as well . dr . karmason , a psychiatrist , and ms . stacke , who manages a doctors ' office in manhattan , said in a recent interview that their husbands , who are physicians , do not collect majolica but support their interest with enthusiasm ."]}

quality screens , clumsy resistive panels and processors that can barely run angry birds , they suck all fun out of using a tablet . the time2touch side - steps these key issues , but in doing so prices itself above a lot of the competition . at \u00a3179 , this isn\u2019t quite the ultra - budget option . but if using it is a joy , it\u2019s worth paying the extra for . let\u2019s found out if it is .\nevery time we see a new android tablet selling for under \u00a3200 from a no - name manufacturer , our hearts sink a little . we so want them to succeed , but they invariably fall flat on their faces . the time2touch hc701a gives us hope though . it packs some seriously impressive specs , while still staying below the \u00a3200 price barrier .\nit offers a dual -

out in plastic . it\u2019s glossy black plastic that attracts fingerprints from the first flick across the touchscreen , and the touch layer is covered with hard plastic \u2013 rather than the tough gorilla glass you\u2019ll find on some top - end models . we\u2019ll hand it to time2touch , though , it\u2019s a sturdy little number that doesn\u2019t creak or flex much at all under pressure , and feels reasonably compact .\nusing a 7in display rather than a 10 - incher like the majority of big - name tabs , it\u2019s fairly well - suited to one - handed operation . it only weighs 358g too , much lighter than the often - praised 601g ipad 2 . at 18mm thick , it\u2019s chunkier almost all of the famous tablets , but aesthetically it trumps most budget models .\nthe left edge of the time2touch hc701a is curved for added comfort , which comes in especially handy when reading an ebook or webpage , resting this edge against your palm . the other sides have harder edges , with a slight lip that affords the tablet an almost book - like vibe .\nall the exposed sockets and connectors are kept on one edge \u2013 the bottom when the tab\u2019s held upright . these are the power socket ( sadly it doesn\u2019t charge over microusb ) , minihdmi video output , miniusb data transfer socket and 3 . 5mm headphone jack .\nan effective network security forensics strategy can assist an organization in providing key compliance -

priced device like the ipad 2 .\navailable now , the time2touch is relatively lightweight at 340g and about the same size as a paperback . the 7in device runs android 2 . 2 , all for a price tag of just \u00a3179 including vat .\nthis makes it a tempting prospect for anyone casting covetous glances at the ipad 2 or samsung ' s galaxy tab . in fact , the time2touch seems like an excellent choice for those seeking a highly portable device to surf the web and carry their digital music .\nhowever , there is always a catch with low - cost alternatives , and in this case it ' s the lack of built - in 3g wireless . buyers can only surf the web when a wi - fi network is available , via a bluetooth link to a smartphone , or by paying extra for a 3g dongle that hangs off the side .\ndespite this disappointment , the time2touch is otherwise quite a decent tablet for the price . it is based on a 1ghz dual - core cortex a9 processor and hence feels pretty responsive in use . it has 4gb of built - in flash storage , so you can load music or take photos straight out of the box ( many android devices need an extra flash card for this ) , plus you can expand the storage up to 32gb via a microsd card slot .\nthe 7in 800x480 display seems pretty decent too , although nowhere near as good as more upmarket tablets such as the htc flyer , which looked much sharper and brighter when we compared it side - by - side with the time2touch . it should be noted that the flyer also carries a considerably higher price tag , starting at around \u00a3480 for the 16gb wi - fi model .\nother features of note include a mini hdmi connector ( hdmi type c ) that lets users connect the time2touch to a hdtv or monitor , and a mini usb port that allows the tablet to act as a host or slave device . a pair of adapter cables - one with a male connector and one with a female - is provided to support both uses .\nthe latter means that the usb port can be used to connect the tablet to a pc for loading files or synchronisation , or conversely to use peripheral devices such as memory sticks with the time2touch .\nyou can even connect a usb keyboard for more comfortable typing , although we found this worked only with some of the pc keyboards we tried out , and you also need to prop up the tablet so you can read the screen while typing .\nmicro focus agrees deal to sell suse linux to eqt partners for $ 2 . 5bn\nwhere apple were once the leaders in innovation with their ipad -

trail near sousa lane on friday . lisa james / register\ngazing into the bowels of the syar quarry southeast of the city of napa , it\u2019s hard to escape the sense of history that reveals itself in the exposed volcanic rock .\nprimarily , it\u2019s a geologic history \u2014 the dark , bluish - gray basaltic and the burnt - red tuffaceous rock provide a glimpse of how volcanic flows hardened into layers of rock over time .\nbut the site\u2019s mishmash of heavy industrial equipment \u2014 drills , rock crushers , bulldozers and loaders \u2014 evokes memories of an earlier , grittier napa when mining , steel manufacturing and shipbuilding were major forces behind the local economy .\nsyar industries is preparing to double the output of its napa operations , from 1 million tons of aggregate to up to 2 million tons annually . john perry , syar vice president of engineering , said the increase should serve syar\u2019s needs for the next 35 years .\nthe expansion requires a new permit from napa county . a draft environmental impact report that will analyze the potential impacts to aesthetics , air quality , groundwater , noise and traffic may be released this month .\nin addition to the napa quarry , syar has operations in vallejo , on the russian river in sonoma county and on cache creek in yolo county , among other holding stations , perry said .\nthe main products that originate from the napa quarry are asphalt and concrete , but rock mined from the syar site can be found in landscaping throughout the napa valley .\nthe highest quality rocks are the blue basalt and rhyolite , with the basalt being used to make concrete and asphalt , and the rhyolite being made into construction aggregates , drain rock and other industrial products .\nperry said that syar , which tries to reuse as much asphalt and concrete as possible , operates probably the largest recycling facility in napa county .\n\u201cit\u2019s quite a mountain that you develop , \u201d perry said of the mounds of recycled concrete and asphalt . \u201cit\u2019s a green way to do things . \u201d\nsyar relies on customers within a 50 - mile radius of its quarry sites ; selling to businesses outside of that range can become cost - prohibitive .\n\u201cthe further away you get , the easier it is for another quarry to come in , \u201d perry said .\nsyar has about 50 employees at its napa headquarters . the quarry operation brings the total to about 60 to 70 employees locally , perry said .\nsyar\u2019s predecessor at the quarry site , basalt rock , was the largest in - county employer of napa residents during world war ii , when it operated a shipyard ; the mare island naval shipyard in vallejo was the largest out - of - county employer of napans , according to the city of napa .\nperry said basalt would bring barges up the napa river , which borders the western end of its property , dropping off material and picking up loads of rock products .\nthe u . s . army corps of engineers uses some of it to cover up pipes extending into the ocean , so if a freighter passes by with its anchor dragging , it won\u2019t hook onto the pipe , he said .\nbasalt first started mining in the original quarry site , which was 673 acres , in the early 1900s , and continued its operations until syar purchased it in 1986 .\nbefore the era when trucks were used as transports , basalt developed a series of gondolas that would take rock product from the quarry and send it down to the napa river , where it would be loaded onto barges and shipped .\nbasalt later leased land adjacent to the quarry site from the state of california , which owns skyline wilderness park . syar purchased the leased land , as well as additional acreage , in the 1990s .\nperry said syar is working with the skyline park citizens\u2019 association to accurately establish the boundaries between the park and the quarry site ; the lines the state drew can vary up to 100 feet in width .\nparts of the skyline trail run onto syar\u2019s property , requiring a redesign that will put the trail solely on park property . syar\u2019s planned expansion will extend to areas where the trail sits currently , and the citizens association is working with a trailmaster to develop the final redesign ,\nto get to the rock syar prizes most requires precision blasting . the company drills holes 6 inches in diameter into the rock , some extending 50 feet . it relies on a contractor to mix the explosives , which are inserted into the holes no more than 10 to 15 feet in depth , perry said .\nsyar workers place the caps over the holes and then set off the explosions in a timed sequence \u2014 milliseconds apart . the caps contain the energy and force created by the explosions , which causes the hillsides to fall away , leaving the rocks exposed , he said .\nthe process usually takes several days to schedule . perry said syar does blasting in the late morning or early afternoon , when most people are awake and at work . the company is currently blasting once per week .\n\u201cblasting is really a science , \u201d perry said . \u201cit\u2019s not like it\u2019s the good ol\u2019 boys going out there with their dynamite . the most economical crushing you can do is through that initial blasting . \u201d\ni understand and agree that registration on or use of this site consitutes agreement to its user agreement and privacy policy .\nwhile the company\u2019s goal is to sell 2 million tons of product annually , that requires taking out a lot more hillside as part of the excavation and blasting process , he said .\nthe only areas where people can hear the blasts are at skyline park and in a vineyard immediately south of the quarry , perry said .\nin the southeast part of the quarry , syar blasts to get to the basaltic rock , which is surrounded by tuffaceous rock and a white rock .\n\u201cthis was created from lava flows , \u201d perry said . \u201cdifferent colors represent different volcanic flows and episodes . \u201d\nthe company uses loaders to transport the rock down to its main crushing operation , which has its start with a conveyor belt located on a hillside .\nthe rock travels down a conveyor belt , which allows it to be crushed and then diverted onto a series of conveyor belts and crushers . these crushers determine the size and grade of the ultimate product , perry said .\nthe syar site sits on highway 221 , but few drivers would notice its existence except for the company\u2019s sign . that\u2019s because the site has visual buffers \u2014 ridges that block views of the blasting work .\nin seeking the new permit , syar is working to create more of these buffers , as well as to develop plans for reclaiming hillsides after it\u2019s finished mining . that involves planting native plants .\nperry first came to napa county as an employee for kaiser steel but has worked with syar since 1987 .\neven after all those years , perry said he still finds new aspects to the job .\nthe original posting of this story was accompanied by a photo that was misidentified . the aerial photo , which has since been deleted , was of syar ' s lake herman quarry in vallejo .\nthat picture is most certainly napa ' s syar mine . we live right next to it in that nearby neighborhood . the expansion of syar should not happen . you have 1000 ' s of people living near there . . . the nvusd office of education , napa state , 3 schools . this is not out in no mans land and the health from rock dust and other things that are brought up from this mine are being blown northward from the southward wind from the bay . please napa do not be paid off to allow this to happen and threaten the safety and health of your citizens . we vote you in to protect us , please do the right thing here . . .\nnapa county should do all it can to limit mining by syar - napa . expansion of syar ' s napa operation will further scar the ridgeline and degrade the recreational experiences for current and future users of skyline park , the jewel of napa county ' s park system .\nyeah , daveb , stop all businesses and layoff all the workers , then we can import rock from china and employ them . sure , you will disagree that this is just one company that we must control . but , mining jobs are just as important as government bureaucrat jobs that keep increasing while producing nothing .\ngood point morgzorg . according to corey , the register could not even get the picture correct of the exact site . is syar going to expand its pit all the way to solano county one day ? the quarry is an incredibly large hole - - - looks like those huge open pit copper mines in arizona . what is the long term impact on doing that ?\nwow , is this what passes for journalism in napa ? how about examining the pros and cons of the expansion , both economic and environmental ? this article reads like a press release from syar industries pr firm .\nthe first picture shown is not in napa . it is the vallejo quarry on lake herman road .\ni believe the first picture is syar ' s vallejo quarry , not napa ' s .\ni think you all need to take a deep breath on this bottle rock thing , it generated a

500 square foot winery in calistoga is becoming a 92 , 000 square foot italian - style castle as well , with three watch towers , a moat , and even a grand loggia .\nthe wine cellars are four stories , with three of them underground . they will be available for tastings and social functions , and have storage capacity for more than 7 , 000 barrels . the winery , which will be capable of producing 100 , 000 cases when completed , is located on highway 29 , two miles south of calistoga .\nthe property had a beautiful old home , a wonderful creek , and was loaded with history . i was very lucky and very happy to own it . i wanted to restore the home of my dreams , but along the way , i somehow decided to add a castle ,\nsattui said with a grin .\ni really didn ' t want another winery . i already have a successful winery , but i suppose i ' ve been seduced by this goal like one can be seduced by a beautiful woman .\nsattui , who owns the v . sattui winery in st . helena , said the project is now in its ninth year of construction with at least three more to go . sattui pointed out that the 172 - acre property on diamond mountain had been part of the estate owned by dr . edward turner bale .\nbale was given extensive land by the mexican government back in 1846 . he built the still functioning grist mill in what is now part of bothe state park . in addition to the victorian home , which was built around 1870 and restored by sattui , there is another , older home built by a mr . nash in the 1850s .\nthere ' s so much history attached to the property ,\nsattui claims .\nand i want to save it .\nthere ' s a small barn built around1850 , reputed to be the first winery in calistoga . the first school in the upper valley was on the property , and evidence shows that a part of the wappo tribe used the land as a winter encampment\nhe had acquired some background for his dream from his travels to italy and the building of his st . helena winery in the 1980s . he built that winery in honor of his great grandfather , vittorio sattui , an italian immigrant from the piedmont - liguria region , who started a winery in san francisco in 1885 . like most other wineries , it closed in 1921 because of prohibition .\ni wanted my new winery to look a hundred years old , like it was built in 1885\nsattui commented .\ni did it with the help of european artisans who rebuild and restore old buildings all the time .\njust as the hearst castle at san simeon became a legacy to california , sattui ' s castle will likely be a legacy to calistoga and the napa valley . unlike hearst castle which was originally used exclusively for the enjoyment of william randolph hearst and his wealthy friends , sattui ' s castle will be for the pleasure of all residents and visitors of napa valley .\nsattui is building his castle from his own plans and from the ground up ; from its foundation to its vaulted arches and imposing stone towers . the grand loggia , piazza , cisterna , the moat and drawbridges are being handcrafted with original materials . many are imported from italy and austria . the techniques being used have existed in europe for centuries\nmore than 11 , 000 cubic yards of concrete have already been poured . thousands of bricks have been shipped from austria , and hundreds of tons of stone have been hand shaped at napa quarries for both interior and exterior walls\nthe buildings and caves contain countless arches and naves , and vaulted ceilings that seem to float above the floor . there are double and triple arches over doorways to account for the stairs to a lower level . all are carefully formed by brick buttressed against brick , creating this feeling of flight which the medieval architects used without benefit of steel framing .\nother ceilings utilize thick , hand - hewn beams to support wooded slats , thereby supporting the brick floor above . these labor intensive techniques are in evedence throughout the four - story complex .\nthere is considerable metalwork and woodwork in the castle , all designed to complement the structure . authentically reproduced doorways and window shutters abound . they are all handcrafted of wood and aged to appear centuries old . they are supported by ornate wrought - iron hinges and locks made in italy to medieval design .\niron gates and bars as well as torch holders and lights , all looking past their prime , have actually been made within the past few years and even weeks . clearly enjoying his project , sattui interjects with a smile ,\nthis is a 600 - year - old door lock that we just had made last month ,\nor ,\nwe ' re building our 700 - year - old cisterna , and should have it ready in a few weeks .\nhe says he has already received more than 80 cargo containers shipped from italy and austria containing everything from newly - made\nold\nbrick to newly formed and\nrusted\nmetalwork .\ni want it as authentic as i can get it .\nthere are patches on the stone walls , and occasionally an arched doorway or window is blocked off with old brick , as though a mistake was being crudely corrected .\nthat ' s the way different generations repaired these buildings ,\nsattui said .\nsomeone decided they didn ' t want a door where it was , and just blocked it off with brick or stucco . i want the place to have a sense of time , as though many generations have had their hand at work on it .\nthe structure is an eclectic mix of 13th century italian romanesque and gothic . the plans , however , are the brainchild of sattui , who seems to be influenced by ligurian , tuscan , and lombardian styles .\ni visit italy at least twice a year , and i seem to bring back new ideas each time ,\nhe said .\ni truly enjoy this ,\nsattui added .\nif i wasn ' t a wine maker , i ' d probably be an architect .\nthe castle is not a hollywood or a disneyland structure of wood and stucco , but a permanent facility of stone and brick . it will have a working winery capable of producing 250 , 000 gallons of wine .\nforms for each arch and nave are built from wood first ,\nsattui explains .\nthen the bricks are laid on the forms with mortar holding them in place and sealing the top for the next story . it ' s very labor intensive . and since each room and arch is different , new forms must be constantly built .\nthese methods are an art form still used in europe today . two world wars wreaked destruction on europe ' s great cities . pollution , weather and age have required periodic reconstructive work , therefore an artisan force of stone craftsmen continues to exist .\nold warsaw was completely destroyed during the second world war , but was rebuilt to old plans . the seemingly centuries old buildings of munich , were rebuilt in the 1950s . so was the parliament building in london , which was destroyed in the blitz . dresden is belatedly going through such a rebirth , having sat in rubble for 45 years because of communist lethargy .\nsattui brought this skill to napa and is utilizing it fully . he began the project with craftsmen who came over from europe .\nas the work progressed , we were able to train local workers to do the various jobs .\nnow , he has two foremen , both trained in italy , and the rest of his crew of 15 are from the local work force .\ni ' m trying to stay as close to the building methods of the period as the county will allow ,\nhe said . the only deviation has been the countless miles of rebar added to make the project seismically safe , and , of course , electrical wiring and temperature and venting systems .\ni also had to install a $ 400 , 000 sprinkler system in case of fire to a structure made of stone ,\nhe added with a shrug .\nsnuggled in a hillside in dense woods and surrounded by a 27 - acre vineyard , rimmed with italian cypress , the castle will add additional evidence to the belief that napa is the rival of tuscany and provence , for its wines , its foods , its picturesque beauty , and its architecture . framed by its native oaks , douglas firs , and redwoods , the castle presents a california picture as well . with its spectacular views of mount st . helena , the palisades and the upper valley , it ' s easy to see why the wappo tribe used the site as an encampment .\nthe construction has not been without controversy . while some consider the structure ' s size out of place for our small valley , it is not untypical to find such imposing architecture in small european villages : the large abby complex in cluny , the monastery in assisi , or the three massive greek temples in the village of paestum are examples .\njust like his castle , sattui has been a controversial figure since he arrived in the napa valley from san francisco in the 1970s . like the castle which he is building over time , his own business success has been built over time : it ' s a true horatio alger story . he created a successful wine business while amassing extensive land holdings of more than 1 , 000 acres , all in a period of 20 years . and now he is adding this remarkable structure to his list of successes .\nhe wanted to recreate the family winery his great grandfather started a century earlier . he had virtually no cash . what sattui did have , though , was a strong business sense , patience , and an ability to see opportunity when it knocked . add to this his strong work ethic , his italian heritage of frugality , and a willingness to make sacrifices to see his dreams materialize .\nhis frugality is demonstrated by his concern for waste . after showing this reporter each wine room , he would stop to switch off the lights . in some cases , he even unscrewed the light bulbs , if necessary . his patience and commitment are seen by his ongoing castle project . he clearly has the ability to be multi - focused while pursuing many ideas .\nstarting out on a figurative shoestring , sattui began to make his fortune by offering his guests food for sale as well as wine , and picnic tables for both . anyone with european roots knows that serving food with wine is not a unique concept , but it was an untried one in napa valley . the immediate popularity of his decision was shown by the crowds of visitors to his st . helena winery . word - of - mouth continues to make his winery a success .\nvisitors arrive not only to taste , but to have their luncheons on his lawn . and the v . sattui winery is the only one in the napa valley to maintain this feature because napa county officials have outlawed the practice by other area wineries . food as well as wine , along with patience , hard work , and dreams have created his fortune and his castle .\nsattui ' s castle is in exceptional company , being situated between three of calistoga ' s most famous wine landmarks : schramsberg vineyards to the south , diamond creek vineyards to the north , and sterling vineyards to the east . an appropriate frame for his castle , because these wineries are pioneers in their own way . their stories are unique , too , and were built on interesting dreams and hard work . all have contributed to bringing fame back to one of the original wine regions of napa valley , diamond mountain .\nthough costly and time consuming , sattui seems to have no regrets and is pleased with the progress of the work . he hopes the people of calistoga will be , too . and in the , hopefully , near future , residents and visitors will be able to walk along the\nancient\ngrand loggia , gaze out past the\naging\narches to the classic napa valleysand sip wine .\nnapa power equipment - carrying

is a classic example of how to grow a new business on old roots . the winery is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year , and though it is now one of the major players in wine country , it began in north beach in san francisco , flourished in the mission district and closed during prohibition .\nthe company was dead - or maybe just dormant - for 55 years until dario sattui , the great - grandson of founder vittorio sattui brought it back to life .\ndario sattui threw a long lunch at san francisco ' s north beach restaurant the other afternoon to describe his company ' s humble beginnings .\nit is a familiar immigrant story . vittorio sattui was born in the little hill town of carsi , near genoa . there was no future there ; people lived in grinding poverty . like many italians of that era , vittorio sattui immigrated to california , to san francisco , to start a new life .\nvittorio was a baker and made wine on the side . he opened his own winery in a boarding house he and his wife leased on what is now columbus avenue in 1885 .\nit was the old story : hard work brought prosperity . they bought grapes from st . helena , moved in 1899 to an old winery building at 23rd and bryant streets , owned property all over the city and when prohibition became law , they quit the wine business .\nthe old man and his wife continued to live in the former winery building ; there were old wine barrels and tanks still in place . there were old stories and the pungent smell of old wine .\nv . sattui lived to be 94 and his great - grandson worshiped the old man . when dario sattui grew up , he told himself he ' d revive the winery .\nit ' s a story that sattui loves to tell and he told it with gusto at the anniversary lunch . he is a tall , lean man of 68 and was the star of his own show , mixing self - deprecating humor with shrewd observations on the state of the wine business .\nalthough v . sattui won more than its share of awards - 107 gold medals in 2008 - sattui turns up his nose at wine snobs .\nwe don ' t deify wine ,\nhe said .\nit ' s not about the wine , it ' s about having a good time .\nhe also claimed that when he revived the v . sattui winery in 1976 , he knew nothing about the business . but he knew what he wanted , and he set out to learn .\ni hired myself out as a tour guide at a winery for 4 bucks an hour ,\nhe said .\nat the end of each tour , i asked the people if they ' d like to invest in a winery .\nfinally , down to his last $ 500 , he scraped up enough capital to build a winery .\neverybody told me i was going to fail ,\nhe said .\ni took long walks . i was depressed .\nhowever , his new winery with the old name was on highway 29 , right in st . helena . sattui had managed to get a permit to sell food . he opened a delicatessen with good cheese and bread . other wineries had\nkeep off the grass\nsigns on their lawns . v . sattui had a picnic ground . he sold his wine direct - no middleman .\nhe sold truffles from berkeley , sold acme sourdough bread . after a rocky beginning , the place prospered . sattui leaned heavily on the old family tradition . he even changed his name from daryl to dario . it sounded more italian .\nhe cashed in on the explosion in the wine business . when the napa valley became a world - famous destination , he was there , on the main highway . now he gets 400 , 000 visitors a year . the company has done so well , sattui built a 1o7 - room , 121 , 000 - square - foot tuscan castle in calistoga .\nv . sattui has come a long way from the boarding house on columbus avenue .\ndario sattui is what they call in latin sui generis ,\nsaid john de luca , former president of the wine institute .\none of a kind . he ' s broken the mold . but what a success story .\nas

four states and eleven foreign countries giving it unprecedented experience in this method of marketing . kruse pioneered the multi - property real estate auction selling three hundred sixty - five properties in one auction . since that time , the company has sold hotels , motels , industrial complexes , sports facilities , warehouses , commercial businesses , shopping centers , office buildings , apartments , race tracks , exclusive residential estates , diamond mines and even three entire towns . these successes provide the experience that obtains results . kruse international is also known as the largest collector car auction company that sells more vintage cars than all other firms combined . together , the kruse family has broken more than 250 world record prices in the collector car industry . dean kruse , the current owner and president , cried his 5 , 000th auction in august of 1987 becoming the youngest individual to attain that goal . he has been building on that total since that time . the company conducted the world ' s first annual consignment collector car auction in auburn , indiana in 1971 . since that time the kruse fall auction , held each labor day weekend , has become the world ' s largest event of its kind and annually draws 5 , 000 collectible vehicles for sale and 200 , 000 attendees . this event is the fourth largest spectator event in indiana , surpassed only by the indianapolis 500 , the brickyard 400 , and the indiana state fair . the company prides itself on being associated with other professional auctioneers throughout the united states and on providing the highest level of customer service . this coupled with dedicated employees and support personnel create an atmosphere of expertise and unequaled selling success .\nbased in auburn , indiana , kruse international is a family owned and operated auction house , best known as a pioneer in vintage car auctions . although other vintage car auction companies have become better known with the general public through live television coverage of their events , kruse boasts that it sells more vintage cars than all of its rivals combined . all told , the company hosts more than 30 events around the country , selling some 13 , 000 cars each year . the company claims to have broken more than 250 world record prices in the field . kruse also offers appraisal services and collector car insurance , and hosts seminars on car collecting . moreover , kruse auctions off recreational vehicles and other kinds of property , including real estate , drilling and well service equipment , classic aircraft , collectible tractors , and paintings . kruse has even sold factories , zoos , railroads , islands , and three complete towns . the company is owned and headed by dean kruse , a member of the second generation of the founding family .\nin his honor , the family announced that it would play a recording of him singing his signature song before each kruse auction .\nfor nearly 50 years \u2014 half of this newspaper\u2019s history \u2014 no single person has dominated its headlines more than dean kruse of auburn .\na worldwide recession that struck in 2008 turned out to be a blow that floored kruse so hard , he finally could not get back up . the barrage of lawsuits that hit kruse made his late 1970s crisis seem like a joyride . back then , the court cases chiefly involved customers . this time , court cases filed by large banks revealed that kruse had mortgaged his company and even his museum for millions of dollars .\ns offline business , but the auctions at auburn , scottsdale , and elsewhere continued to thrive as the vintage car market finally won back the value lost a decade earlier and enjoyed a new surge in interest . however , under ebay , kruse was not able to take advantage of this renewed enthusiasm , and in fact the company closed auctions in a number of cities , leaving them to the competition . by the fall of 2002 , ebay elected to focus on its internet business and sell kruse , which had seen its revenues cut in half since the 1999 acquisition . ebay kept its promise to offer the company back to dean kruse , and in early 2003 he bought kruse international for an undisclosed amount of money , although it was reported that he borrowed $ 22 million to complete the transaction . he also told the press that he was overjoyed to be back in charge .\nlater in 1972 kruse held its second auburn auction , which was relocated to dekalb high school . among the 150 cars put on the block was\nkruse international began as a real estate auction company in auburn in 1952 , founded by russell wayne kruse and his father - in - law , lester boger . kruse was born on a dairy farm outside of auburn in 1922 , the son of german immigrants . he started out helping his father and then moved on to larger farms before taking on considerable debt to lease 400 acres of land in the area and raise his own herd of 63 holsteins . early in the 1950s , however , he was in need of a new livelihood to support his wife and seven children ( having married at the age of 18 ) after consecutive years in which the wabash river flooded his fields so severely that he claimed he could catch fish with a pitchfork in what should have been a cornfield . in his spare time , kruse served as a vocal soloist at weddings and funerals , prompting his father - in - law to suggest kruse consider becoming an auctioneer . boger was familiar with the business , having served as a clerk at auctions . thus encouraged , kruse completed a two - week course at the reppert school of auctioneering in decatur , indiana , perfected the unique staccato rhythms of the auctioneer\nfor mitch kruse , auctioneering was an art and a life . his father and grandfather were famous auctioneers specializing in collector cars and real estate . however , when mitch was a freshman in high school , his father hit financial problems . by the time he was a senior , mitch was faced with the decision to follow his success in basketball into college or attend indiana university and restore the family\u2019s auction business . he decided on taking the latter route . as a senior in college , mitch formed kruse international which innovated the auction industry , producing 50 annual events that reached millions of automotive enthusiasts across the globe , offering 15 , 000 + collectible vehicles , before producing the first auction broadcast live via satellite .\nkruse used some of his income from selling the company to establish the dean v . kruse foundation and build the spacious world war ii victory museum on the west side of i - 69 , across from the auction park . he purchased an extensive collection of world war ii military vehicles from a museum in belgium and shipped them to auburn .\non sept . 5 , 1989 , the evening star published a report on the first collector car auction at new kruse auction park south of auburn . excerpts from that story :\ns success decided to hold his own auction . he brought in leo gephart , a phoenix used car dealer who dealt in both used and rare cars , and they invited the kruse family to participate . in late 1971 dean kruse flew into town and the three men agreed to hold a consignment auction at the safari hotel in scottsdale in hopes of attracting car collectors from around the world . barrett then brought in a scottsdale friend to help organize the event , russell jackson . barrett and jackson had worked together previously on a pair of successful car show fund - raising events . the scottsdale auction was a two - day event held in january 1972 . it was attended by 3 , 000 people and generated almost $ 600 , 000 in sales volume . its success established the auction as an annual event in scottsdale , with kruse remaining involved until the mid - 1970s , when barrett and jackson decided to go it alone , establishing the barrett - jackson classic car auction , and giving birth to a major rival to kruse international : the barrett - jackson auction company l . l . c .\nebay was reportedly forced to lay off more than half of butterfields ' staff during its ownership . kruse employees reportedly were notified of ebay ' s plans to sell the company on wednesday .\na tradition at a kruse auction , about 80 cars on consignment were put up for sale . the auction attracted an estimated 17 , 000 people , although the exact number was difficult to determine .\n, a man who had assembled one of the best private car collections in the world . owning 80 cars , barrett decided the time had come to winnow down his collection , and inspired by kruse\nan era came to an end in may 2007 when russell kruse passed away at the age of 85 following a stroke . until the very end the farm boy who turned auctioneer and conducted sales throughout\nhigh - end fine arts auction house to london - based bonhams auctioneers . ebay used butterfields the same way it used kruse : as a way to get into an area where it had little expertise .\nkruse indeed played the role of a pioneer in his field . in the early 1970s , he and his family virtually invented the business of auctioning collectible cars . before long , they found it to be a boom - and - bust proposition . after the first down cycle in the late 1970s , dean kruse carried on alone until his son , mitchell , joined him in the business a decade later .\nbut kruse did work out a happy ending for the community , finding an established auction company , rm auctions , to buy his auction park and maintain auburn as a center of the collector car world .\nthe company will remain in indiana , but the new bidding engine will be run out of ebay ' s san jose headquarters . ebay plans to continue the real - world car auctions that kruse now runs .\n\u2026 auctioneers sold as many cars as the clock allowed in six days this year , running the saturday session until 2 o\u2019clock in the morning . chief auctioneer dean kruse\u2019s voice was like a blown engine by monday .\nkruse sold his company to investors to keep it afloat , and by the late 1980s , he had worked his way into a position to buy it back , this time with his son , mitchell , as president .\nonce paypal is fully integrated into ebay , the auction giant also plans to shut down billpoint , its former online payment service . both billpoint and kruse were acquired in 1999 in a deal valued at about $ 275 million .\ns backing , kruse also became the major auctioneer for the sale of classic car collections around the country . in 1980 the auburn auction saw 754 cars put up for bid , followed by 860 cars the following year , when\nthe key blow came when indiana took away kruse\u2019s license as an auctioneer , one of the very first granted by the state . that left him helpless to work his way out of his debts the way he had in the past .\nthat ' s how we regard the good people who make up dan kruse classics . it takes a lot of work and dedication to put on a top - notch event and we\u2019ve got the best in the business working with us .\nthe first kruse car auction took place on labor day 1971 . kruse worked for his father , russell , in the family auction business . they collaborated with leaders of the local auburn cord duesenberg festival , which celebrates classic cars built in the city in the 1920s and 1930s . searching for a way to pay for a museum to house the cars and salute the city\u2019s history , they came up with a plan to sell collector cars in an auction and make money from commissions on the sales .\nfor the first time , but not the last , kruse found himself besieged by lawsuits from people who sold cars at his auctions and didn\u2019t get paid . he stubbornly rejected advice that he should file bankruptcy and set about slowly repaying his customers , seeking to rebuild trust .\nwith a combined 200 years experience in the auction event process , our team shines when the curtain goes up . we ' re dedicated to providing the smoothest transfer of sale and do our level best to make sure your experience with dan kruse classics a thoroughly enjoyable one .\nin 1999 god provided mitch a way to leave kruse international . he sold his company to ebay and attended seminary . he now teaches others on the value of a life restored in christ . in his book , restoration road , mitch talks about four primary desires . these are god - given desires that reside in each one of us . every choice , thought , prayer , and feeling is connected with every investment of time , talent , and treasure by the heartbeat to satisfy these desires . the first primary desire is significance , which comes from being created in god\u2019s image . the second desire is contentment from being blessed by god to be fruitful , multiply , and subdue the earth . the third desire is control , being empowered by god to rule over the earth . the fourth desire is security from being provided with every seed - bearing plant and fruit - bearing tree .\nwhen asked to help raise money for the auburn cord duesenberg car club , which sponsored the annual festival but was losing money , kruse suggested that , since some of the cars were already scheduled to be sold , a consignment auction of vintage cars during the festival could be used as a fund - raiser instead of auctioning off the other goods the chamber of commerce had in mind . his idea was accepted and in 1971 the first auburn labor day vintage car auction was held in a field near interstate i - 69 . after russell kruse began the proceedings by singing\nthe kruses\u2019 first hard landing came at the end of the \u201970s , when a recession marked by the double jeopardy of high unemployment and runaway inflation gripped america . as dean kruse would learn more than once , collector cars are a luxury that people don\u2019t buy when their budgets turn tight .\nthe action was taken in response to complaints from sellers who claimed the company had not paid them for automobiles that it sold . according to the associated press ( via bloomberg businessweek ) , mr . kruse said that his financial problems were largely the result of buyers not paying for their purchases .\nbillpoint enables person - to - person credit card payments over the internet , helping buyers and sellers settle up , while kruse runs approximately 40 car auctions each year , selling about 14 , 000 vehicles . it also employs specialists who appraise , authenticate , and rate a wide range of automobiles and networks with collectors and dealers around the world .\nas his legacy , kruse left auburn as a tourist destination with three museums in which he played a key role . he served as one of the founders of the national auto & truck museum , conducted auctions that paid for saving the auburn cord duesenberg automobile museum and started the museum that today is known as the national military history center .\neven without the giant kruse auction , numerous cars will go on the block in the auburn area , mr . wolff said . the world wide auction is slated for that weekend , and the classical event auction , which specializes in high - end cars , will take place in an indoor sports arena across the street from auburn\u2019s dekalb high school .\ndean kruse moved quickly to rebuild the business . to make up for the sales shut down by ebay , annual auctions were launched in new york city ; biloxi , mississippi ; tampa , florida ; billings , montana ; and monterey , california . kruse also invested in improvements to the auburn facilities in order to make greater use of them . given that it was much less expensive to host an event in auburn than elsewhere in the country , the investment led to increased profits . in a matter of two years three auctions were added to the auburn site , making a total of five annual sales . they included a noreserve auction for collector cars , recreational vehicles , and motor coaches , the national corvette show & auction , and an auction for street rods and customer cars as part of an event called the annual fun run nationals . the auburn grounds were also rented out for vehicle shows , such as the sports car club of america and the american truck historical society .\nbut before kruse began his career as a car auctioneer , he gained prominence in politics . he became dekalb county\u2019s republican chairman in 1964 , claiming to be the nation\u2019s youngest chairman at age 23 . in 1966 , he won election as the youngest state senator in indiana , and he said that at age 25 , he also was the youngest in the nation . his senate career lasted only four years , though he maintained a lifelong interest in politics , serving as a republican county chairman and rubbing shoulders with national leaders as head of the national association of realtors political action committee .\nin 1989 the auburn auction was moved to a new facility , kruse auction park , where three duesenbergs received bids of more than $ 1 million each , led by the $ 1 . 8 million paid for a 1933 duesenberg j 386 . the event was also noteworthy because the financial news network aired three hours of the auction . the following year , the 20th auburn auction featured 3 , 000 vintage automobiles and a separate collectibles auction . the event expanded further in 1991 to include three other auctions : the marhanka antique truck & tractor collection , the wayne sawyer collection , and the fitterling collection & farm .\ns business development people , simon rothman , was responsible for taking ebay into automobiles , the result of his searching the site for die - cast models of ferrari sports cars and finding that a full - size ferrari was up for sale . he soon discovered that other cars were also for sale elsewhere on ebay . a car enthusiast who had restored fiats as a teenager , rothman was put in charge of the new unit . ebay motors acquired kruse as a way to gain credibility with collectors , encouraging them to auction their cars on the site and making it known that top vintage cars could be bought online .\nthe kruse family bought back the company in 1981 after six years of i . t . t . ownership . the collector car business continued to flourish and then enjoyed a further surge following the october 1987 stock crash . a large number of investors felt uncomfortable with the stock market and began to put their money in art work , collectibles , and classic cars . as a result , vintage cars fetched ever increasing amounts of money . at the 1988 auburn auction , a 1929 cord l29 murphy town car once owned by actor john barrymore sold for $ 1 million . a duesenberg j walker lagrande torpedo phaeton also received a bid of $ 950 , 000 .\nby the time of the 1991 auburn auction , a recession struck the country and had an adverse impact on the classic car industry . values plummeted and several years would pass before investors regained their losses . despite poor conditions , kruse was able to carry on . in 1992 the shop - at - home network broadcast some of the labor day event , allowing home viewers to bid on the 1 , 500 vintage cars put up for sale . the top selling car was a 1948 buick saoutchik drophead coupe , receiving $ 275 , 000 , a far cry from the amounts paid three years earlier . while collectors may not have been willing to pay as much for vintage cars , there were plenty of enthusiasts willing to pay the price of admission to admire them . in 1986 nearly 300 , 000 people attended the auburn labor day festivities .\ns voice served him well . according to observers his voice could be listened to for hours without annoyance . he was also a natural showman , unafraid of working in front of large crowds , and he possessed the necessary ability to read the crowd , to know who were serious buyers and who might have been shills , and to cajole bidders into going a little higher in their bids than they had planned . he was an immediate success as an independent auctioneer , becoming the top auctioneer in the area after just a year . he handled the usual work to be found in rural indiana : estate liquidations , farm sales , and other real estate sales . he was also called on to auction off less than ordinary items , such as the complete contents of a funeral home and a 750 - foot - deep hole in the ground , which he sold to a garbage company . in time kruse was assisted by his children . dean began working for him part time in 1956 and three years later went full time , becoming an accomplished auctioneer in his own right .\nthe auction house uses its high -

year - old auction house .\nbillpoint ' s technology could reduce the time required for ebay members to complete a transaction by three to seven days , said mike wilson , ebay ' s senior vice president of product development and site operations .\nbillpoint ' s system , still in testing , involves billpoint ' s software becoming the\nmaster merchant\nand processing transactions for members . as such , it introduces both a new revenue source and additional risk into ebay ' s business model .\nbillpoint and others have developed technology to detect fraud in this area , and we view it as a small risk that we would be managing carefully ,\nwilson said .\nbillpoint will operate as a wholly - owned ebay subsidiary and will be encouraged to use its technology to facilitate transactions for other internet commerce firms , he said .\nthey are the offline version of ebay in collectible cars ,\nswette said .\nas for ebay ' s plans for the used car market , swett said :\nwe ' ll do the same thing as we did for beanie babies - - create a national market that is easy , fast , informative , and has community built around it .\nebay said the two transactions may slightly dilute earnings for the remainder of 1999 , and both will be accounted for as\npooling of interest\ntransactions . ebay also may recognize some one -

30 . one who attempts to satisfy his desire leads with a particular chamber of the heart . attempting to satisfy the desire for significance , the emotions chamber leads . someone who attempts to satisfy his desire for contentment leads with the spirit . one who attempts satisfying the desire for control leads with the will . someone who desires to satisfy security leads with intellect . even though one leads with a heart chamber when pursuing a particular desire , all four chambers of the heart flow toward each pursuit . \u201cwhen we fully surrender our hearts , desires , and three resources of life to him . he satisfies our desires . we are not the ones restoring ; rather , it is christ in us and working through us . \u201d\ntoday , mitch writes and speaks to a wide array of audiences about wisdom and leadership . mitch , his wife susan , and their daughter live in auburn , indiana , on their family farm homesteaded from the indiana state government by his great -

style edge , which can only be gotten with a belt . the rolled edge is convex in cross section rather than flat , and is very strong and long lasting because it leaves more steel where the metal meets the meat . when i asked worksharp why they didn ' t make more of it , the answer was that not many people appreciate such a refinement . so be it . but now you do .\nif your needs are more modest , there ' s another worksharp product that costs far less than the ken onion sharpener ( which is $ 150 ) and that is the guided field sharpener 221 , which is about all i ever use , and which is so good that i have three -

op became its member on february 26 , 1999 , hence its members were not entitled to insurance benefits . the pdccb also claimed it was not the insurer but a mere co - ordinator of the scheme .\nthe court , however , observed that the pdccb cannot be just a co - ordinator , since it had offered the insurance scheme to its members and collected premium from them . the court accepted the insurance company ' ' s argument that ganga ' ' s claim was invalie because of the aforesaid matter of dates .\nthe court pointed out that despite being aware of the deadline for availing of the insurance scheme , the pdccb had failed to give relevant details about the scheme to servants ' ' co - op society and furthermore accepted the insurance premium from pawar . thus , the pdccb was found guilty of deficiency in service under section 2 ( 1 ) ( g ) of the consumer protection act 1986 .\nwhile delivering the judgement , the consumer court , chaired by sandhya kulkarni and comprising anjali karadkhedkar and shriniwas kankurikar , directed the pdccb to repay rs 200 taken from pawar as insurance premium and also pay compensation of rs 1 , 000 to ganga .\nthe money has to be paid within five weeks from the date of the order , failing which , interest at the rate of 6 per cent will be charged on the amount till full realisation of the claim .\nrefrain from posting comments that are obscene , defamatory or inflammatory , and do not indulge in personal attacks , name calling or inciting hatred against any community . help us delete comments that do not follow these guidelines by marking them offensive . let ' s work together to keep the conversation civil .\nwe have sent you a verification email . to verify , just follow the link in the message\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 bennett , coleman & co . ltd . all rights reserved . for reprint rights : times syndication service"]}

email us at accessibility @ urltoken . we would love to hear from you .\nand so , on certain special evenings , jocelyn grimes will hand a small black plastic box to her partner in life and marriage , a fellow named tony saurini . tony is thirty years old , a lovable , bookish , regular sort of man , living proof of the slogan on his t - shirt : chicks dig scrawny pale guys . jocelyn , she ' s twenty - six , a sort of everygirl next door , only with extra brains and a shot of smart aleck . she ' s sporting a black t - shirt and a long black skirt , with her medium - length brown hair pulled back with bobby pins . she married tony in ' 99 and promised to take his last name if he ' d quit smoking . he ' s working on it . anyway , this small black plastic box of which we speak , it ' s about the size of a five - stick pack of wrigley ' s . he puts the box in his pocket , and off they go . to a bar , perhaps . or a movie . the opera .\noh , and this : on the little box , which contains batteries , there is a button . tony will press this button whenever the mood strikes , maybe hold it down a few moments , shoot a glance at the wifey . it ' s a great trust - builder in a relationship , jocelyn points out . it ' s also naughty .\nimagine a pair of thong panties . the sort of elastic , g - string thingie you might expect elizabeth hurley to wear on a brazilian beach . only , in the place where there would typically be a tiny triangle of fabric , there is , instead , a flat piece of soft purple plastic molded in the shape of a butterfly . it ' s about a half inch thick , with perhaps a four - inch wingspan at its widest point , and there is a plastic tail at the bottom that curves backward and upward , protruding about one inch . inside this plastic butterfly is a tiny electric motor and a receiver . the receiver is activated by depressing the button on the small black plastic box in tony ' s pocket , which , it turns out , is a wireless remote control with a range of twenty - five feet . upon such activation , the motor causes the butterfly to vibrate . it ' s not so quiet that it would be inaudible in a board meeting , most probably , but it ' s more than quiet enough to be employed covertly in a bar . or in a movie theater . or at the opera .\nand this activity , which some women might find intrinsically worthwhile , is even more rewarding for jocelyn grimes because , you see , she ' s getting paid for it . almost six figures .\nnow , then : jocelyn is not just some wanton minx ( with a lucky husband , you ' re probably thinking ) . she is , as it happens , in the employ of xandria , one of your larger and more respectable mail - order vendors of sexual equipment . and just as the retailer of spigots or clown suits or trampolines must decide which spigots or clown suits or trampolines to carry , so too must the seller of vibrators .\nit is jocelyn ' s job to review latex novelties . that ' s correct : to test - drive sex toys . that is what she does . ( oh , all right . that ' s not the only thing she does ; she is also the executive producer of the company ' s e - commerce site , but isn ' t the toy - testing part somehow more arresting ? ) just as consumer reports slaloms isuzus on test tracks , much the way roger ebert scribbles about the latest robin williams pearl , jocelyn draws a hot bubble bath and cracks open a fresh pack of duracells . ( an aside : just broke my rule about using the words bubble bath and roger ebert in the same sentence . sorry . )\nshe checks for noisiness . she gauges the variability of speeds . she ponders whether a product is something she would want , whether it makes her motor run hot , whether it buzz - buzz - buzzes her smoothly along the tricky journey to the big o . she notes the quality of materials and workmanship , the ease of cleanup , and the possibility of electrocution where the sun don ' t shine . she estimates the extent to which exhibit v can take a lickin ' and keep on tickin ' .\nwe ' re going to need to say this sooner or later here , as we go about considering a person who masturbates for a living , so we might as well do it now : nice work if you can get it .\nin this horny day and salacious age , truths about sexuality are revealing themselves all the time . among these is that satisfaction can be a more complicated proposition for women than for men and that not all men are equally equipped or inclined to fulfill all of those needs . that being the case , many , many women - - more women than ever before - - indulge in battery - powered shenanigans , including women you might not expect to indulge in such naughty things : single women , married women , beautiful women , homely women , your aunt ruth .\nit ' s a natural part of this industrywide maturation to institute more modern business practices . getting a listed phone number , a slick web site , a secure server , that sort of thing . printing labels with something vaguely scholarly sounding , like inwardly - outwardly research consortium . and , most important of all - - in a business that ' s never had any shortage of products that work once and konk out or purport to look exactly like loni anderson but vexingly do not - - selling no crappy stuff .\nhere ' s how it goes : every couple of months , jocelyn and a group of xandria staffers file into a conference room . in the middle of the conference - room table , there typically will be a pile of about fifty colorful , shrink - wrapped items to be considered for sale . about half the items go immediately into the\nno\nbin . (\nsome of them are so unusual , we have trouble figuring out just what you ' re supposed to do with them ,\njocelyn says . ) a few get an immediate yes . and ten or fifteen of them become maybes . it ' s the maybes that they rip open and whack against the table , whose battery compartments they peer into , whose power cords they yank on .\nthing is , when you ' re checking out a vibrator ,\nit ' s hard to tell if the vibrations are overpowering just with your hand ,\njocelyn says .\nthe hand is not nearly as sensitive as any part of the body where you would actually use a vibrator .\nfurther investigation is warranted . which is to say , we mean , for the safety of the commonwealth , hell , somebody ' s got to do it .\non the shelf beneath the night table on jocelyn ' s side of the marriage bed is a box . it is a pretty box covered with colorful flowers and butterflies . jocelyn chose a pretty box because it was her intention to keep it out in the open and at the ready , rather than in the sock drawer or under the bed . this box houses jocelyn ' s collection of toys .\nkeeps the cat hair off ' em ,\njocelyn notes . there also are two submersible models that hang from the faucet over the bathtub , a smooth blue one and an oscillating sponge . she hides the bathtub toys if kids are coming over .\njocelyn and tony live in san francisco - - you mighta known - - near alamo square and the lower haight . but it ' s not as if they ' ve been slouching toward gomorrah all their lives . they have a clean , spacious apartment with no visible hooks in the ceiling or nudes on the walls . they have two cats . they drive a blue toyota echo . in the tape player of this toyota echo , there is a recording by the pubescent teenybopper artists hanson .\nconsidering where jocelyn has gravitated careerwise , you might figure her parents for either lefty polyamorists with a bong on the coffee table or 700 club disciples who might refer to breasts as\ndirtypillows .\nnot so . to her way of thinking , she had a distinctly normal home life in western pennsylvania , in a town called california . there was an actual picket fence around her house , and this fence was actually white . there was a station wagon . she had never been anywhere near the\nadult industry ,\njocelyn says , except to look at magazines .\ni had a lot of foster brothers ,\nshe explains .\nmom was a high school math teacher ; dad was an english professor . being educators , they were comfortable talking about sex as long as the discussion had nothing to do with the family . ( they obviously wouldn ' t enjoy this article much , so how about nobody shows it to them , please . )\ni never even got a birds - and - the - bees talk ,\nsays jocelyn . mom tells friends her daughter works\non the web ,\nwhich is absolutely true . tony , who also works on a web site , as an applications developer , comes from upstate new york , where his friends and family remain\npretty whacked - out\nover his wife ' s job ; as such , tony brings it up whenever possible .\nwhen it comes to sexual history , jocelyn ' s track record is pretty conventional . she lost her virginity at a very young age ( thirteen ) , not out of any sexual precocity but more so because of small - town boredom , she says . she did not come into her own sexually until she was a student at indiana university in bloomington . that , too , was when she first had sex with , well , herself , having received as a gift a copy of sexologist betty dodson ' s famous book sex for one . and only in those college years did that solo hanky - panky first result in what a fella might consider fruition .\nyou know , i rarely orgasm even now during intercourse ,\nshe says .\ni don ' t think i ever did as a teenager .\njocelyn got her degree in english lit ( academic scholarship , full ride - - told you she ' s a good girl ) and headed for san francisco ' s then - fecund job market . her intended career track certainly didn ' t involve grown - up novelties ; actually , her first job was about as close to the opposite as you could possibly imagine : working for arthur andersen .\nfabulously boring ,\nshe recalls .\nin july of ' 99 , she saw a xandria ad for an online catalog manager . she figured a company that sells the christy canyon ultimate masturbation kit - - how stuffy could it be ? she got an interview .\nonce inside the office building ( just two streets south of bush street , which would seem something of a missed opportunity ) , she found herself across a desk from two male vps . one of them handed her the catalog and asked her to pick out her five favorite items . and then to explain why she liked them .\nthen she was told to stand in the middle of the office and holler the names of several xandria products at the top of her lungs , with vigor and enthusiasm . this is hard . imagine yelling anything , anything at all , in the middle of a workplace bustling with employees , let alone doing so when you ' re a nervous job applicant .\nlet alone when what you have to yell is\nanal invader cock cage .\nwhen you think about it , actually , it ' s a hell of a job - interview icebreaker .\nthe other day we made somebody yell , ' giant jelly mondo anal balls ! '\njocelyn recalls fondly .\nif you ' re not going to fit in here , we need to know right away .\nshe got the gig , of course . and when she called her mom , she employed a bit of spin , as you might imagine .\ni kind of couched it as a very good job opportunity , that it was a financial increase , a dot - com ,\nshe says . ( this was back when\ndot - com\nwas a good thing . )\nthey were not going to want to hear about the eleven - inch dildo that i was trying to market on the web .\nfresh surgical - grade - latex sex toys smell curiously sweet and faintly familiar , a bit like strawberry jolly ranchers , especially when there are a great deal of them in the room . such would be the case in this room , a clean , windowless office at xandria . on the floor are eight boxes , each about the size of a microwave oven . in the boxes , there are sex toys . hundreds of sex toys . brightly colored , jolly , jiggly , veiny , silly , cellophane - packed pervert fodder - - i mean that in the nicest way - - tumbling onto the floor , waiting to be photographed for catalogs . there are plugs , vibes , pumps , and sleeves . there are dolls , rings , and whips . there are jellies , oils , and lubes .\nthere are many things that , well , you don ' t know what the hell they are . behold the turbo tongue , which looks like a kosher entr\u00e9e attached to a flashlight handle . thrill to the bondage bed , a queen - size inflatable mattress with a velveteen cover and twelve strategically placed rings . marvel at the accommodator , a five - and - a - half - inch phallus attached to a harness that is worn about the head , such that the member protrudes directly from the wearer ' s chin .\njocelyn first embraced toy - testing duty about six months into the job , during one of the new - product sessions . her boss held aloft a pearl panther vibrator , which came from a manufacturer that xandria had not dealt with before . jocelyn stepped up . she was pleased .\ni enjoyed it ,\nshe says . she enjoyed it enough to keep it .\nit makes me happy ,\nshe says . you can still find it on the xandria site , as it happens .\nit ' s got a little kitty on it ,\nshe points out .\nsince then , she ' s slipped beneath the sheets or into the suds with scores of appliances . at the office , she is known as a woman whose husband will participate in such research trials , and thus she is often asked to take home couples - related items , like good head gel (\nkinda tingly on the ol ' penis ,\ntony volunteers ) . she conducts her inquiries in the bedroom , like most folks ,\nunless we ' re feeling particularly randy and we can ' t make it to the bedroom ,\nshe says . or she might do so sans tony , by herself , alone , in the bath , if the product is waterproof .\nwe need something with nubs here ,\njocelyn says absently . she is searching for some of her favorites .\ni ' m kind of looking for toys that are going to be able to do things that my husband can ' t do .\nthe jack rabbit , for example , at $ 44 . 95 , is a multicolored , seven - and - a - half - inch jobbie that can do things tony and you are never going to be able to do , unless you are , say , bionic . it curves upward at the end ( a g - spot curve , they call it in the biz ) , vibrates , swivels enthusiastically at the tip , and , in a two - inch section about halfway down its length , is stuffed to bulging with hard plastic beads the size of peas that , we ' re told , present additional midshaft sensations . it also features a second , smaller protrusion near its base shaped like a small rabbit with two ears , which are configured to tickle that external pleasure thingamajig that women have down there . jocelyn explains ,\nthis little bunny vibrates back and forth , and his ears hit you right on [ that external pleasure thingamajig that women have down there ] .\njocelyn wishes to throw the full weight of her office behind an endorsement of the jack rabbit .\nit is tricky , jocelyn explains , to find the vibrator that is just right .\ni like nubs , but not big nubs ,\nshe says ,\nand i like jelly , not smooth , hard plastic . i ' m not a smooth , hard - plastic kind of girl . i ' m neither here nor there about the g - spot curve , really .\nalso :\ni personally don ' t like vibrations that are too strong ,\nwhich one would receive from products described in the catalog as\npowerful .\nthe ultra real teaser , a spiky rubber ring that a man wears to become a living vibrator , sort of , and that pleasures both individuals .\nwe actually tried this one before it was ever a xandria product , in its prototype phase ,\njocelyn notes .\nnow it ' s one of our web site ' s best sellers .\nthe doc johnson i - vibe , whose design and moniker were obviously inspired by the recent fruity - colored , translucent designs of the imac .\nthis little baby was extremely expensive for us to purchase ,\njocelyn recalls ,\nso we wanted to make sure it held up .\nand elegant pleasures , a less - phallic - looking vibration device that ' s more for a woman ' s exterior situation .\nanother exclusive i tested in the prototype stage , now one of my faves ,\nshe says .\njocelyn votes to veto easily half the toys she encounters .\nthe biggest thing is , we look at it and we ' re like , does anybody want to use this ?\ntony and jocelyn sprawl on their bed before me ; it ' s a wrought - iron canopy job entwined with strings of white christmas lights . they are wearing clothes . still , goofily - - and i submit that this isn ' t my fault - - my brain is actually saying to itself , this is where it all happens ! and then my brain wonders if the nice young couple ever attaches ropes or chains or neckties to the canopy .\nfor the first time , i notice the edge of a tattoo peeking from jocelyn ' s left breast , and i want to ask her what it is , but i opt not to . the reason i opt not to : my brain actually thinks to itself that i should avoid being too personal .\ni wonder this as she tells me how women call and write and e - mail and breathlessly confess what they ' ve done with their various and sundry naughty things .\ni wonder , as i look at that smile , if anyone really knows what ' s going on beneath the bus driver ' s trousers , those judicial robes , that crossing - guard uniform , that nun ' s ( especially that nun ' s ) habit . some pretty happy things if you ' ll believe the twenty - six - year - old woman from a tiny town in western pennsylvania . she ' ll tell you with a grin that the girl with the far - away eyes may be farther away than you ever imagined .\nit ' s funny in a way , if you think about it . women , lustily buzzing their way forth into the man ' s man ' s man ' s world , that world that men think they control . men control this world only if they ' re passed the remote .\nesquire participates in various affiliate marketing programs , which means we may get paid commissions on editorially chosen products purchased through our links to retailer sites .\nla pumps are the world ' s # 1 penis pumps . we guarantee penis growth .\nwe are australia\u2019s exclusive distributors of the la pump vacuum penis pumping system . la pump is a world famous penis enlargement system that is 100 % guaranteed to work . it is used for persons suffering penile dysfunction or for persons that want to enlarge their penis . as australia\u2019s exclusive distributor of the la pump range , we also sell cylinders and devices for enlarging the clitoris , testicles , foreskin , breasts , nipples and more . now shipping from sydney and los angeles , whichever is closest to you !\nla pump massively increases your penis size , making you more confident and able to maintain a super hard erection in the bedroom . like any muscle , the penis can be enlarged over time if you consistently train it just like you would with your biceps .\nby using the la pump system , blood flow to the penile tissue is significantly increased . this results in a harder , longer and thicker erection . since the penis is a muscle , over time pumping has been shown to increase penis size permanently .\nthe la pump will increase your penis size as well as assist in maintaining a rock hard erection . as pumpers ourselves , we know how much confidence having a huge dick can bring . we guarantee your partner will be pleased with your increased penis size .\ni wasted my money on other plastic pumps . la pump is by far the best , it\u2019s probably the best product of this type for the money . the gauge is invaluable to monitor ones usage so as not to cause damage and to slowly increase pull over months and years .\nthe whole unit comes at a price but it is money well spent . built to last and with extreme vacuum not like those other wanky chinese pumps . i love that you can detach from the pump allowing you freedom of movement whilst the cylinder is still working .\ngreat product . instant erection . needs to have a cock ring for those who need to keep an erection with assistance . quality product and definitely built to last . i have been using mine for many years and just keep getting the larger cylinders as my penis size continues to grow .\ni have suffered from pd for many years now and have been turned off the road to surgery . pumping has given me back a lot of self -

1800\u2019s , dutchman abraham bomberger purchased the distillery from the shenk family , changing the name of the distillery to bomberger . once 1919 hit , prohibition came into force across america , temporarily shutting the distillery until the repeal . once it reopened though , the distillery changed hand many times , coming close to financial ruin until the 1950\u2019s when lou forman , the current owner at the time , created the michter\u2019s brand we see today . he combined portions of his son\u2019s names \u2013 michael and peter . in 1989 though , the american whiskey industry was in the midst of a downturn of fortunes , and the owners declared bankruptcy , leaving the distillery in disrepair .\nafter using two small pot stills and a custom - built 32 inch diameter , 46 foot high copper column still with a distinctive copper pot still doubler , they are utilising a different method than usual to mature the casks . using charred oak barrels that have been dried , sometimes for as long as 18 - 36 months , this causes the whisky to interact with an enhanced state from the natural properties of the wood , resulting in a supposed better flavour . the whisky itself is 103 proof instead of the normal industry level of 125 proof , and it\u2019s said to be lower so the concentrated sugars in the toasted and charred wood can dissolve more readily .\na relatively unheard of process being used is heat cycling the barrels . essentially , the more often whiskey expands and contracts ( \u2018cycles\u2019 ) soaking in and then out of the wood of the barrel , the more flavour it absorbs from the sugars in the caramelized toasted wood . heat cycling is caused by the raising of the temperatures in the barrel warehouses to induce extra cycles within a given year . although the process is not without its flaws . it is extremely costly due to the cycles increase of the \u2018angel share\u2019 evaporation during ageing .\nmade from select american rye grain and comes from a new american single white oak barrel . light with dry rye notes on the nose . plenty of oak on the palate , with dry raisin and fruits to create a very long , soft spice finish .\na hark back to the 1970\u2019s and 1980\u2019s when the original michter\u2019s sour mash whiskey was the distillery\u2019s single most popular product . light on the nose with soft butter notes . soft with a punch of dry fruit upon the palate . cinnamon flavours are present leading to a very dry finish with hints of oak .\nmade from a selected mashbill that features the highest quality american corn . matured often in excess of eight years . in a batch size composed of no more than two dozen barrels . a great nose of whiskey soaked christmas pudding , with sharp intakes of caramel . slight bitterness from the fruits on the palate , but mellows into rich caramel to create a long and very dry spiced finish .\ntaken from the michter\u2019s website \u2013 \u201c unlike bourbon or rye , which , by definition , must be aged in new oak barrels , our us 1 unblended american whiskey is aged in a way that utilizes bourbon - soaked barrels to achieve a rich and unique flavor profile . in late 2013 , master distiller willie pratt agreed to re - release our us 1 unblended american whiskey after a nearly three - year absence from the market , deeming it \u201cjust right\u201d and \u201cthe best it\u2019s ever been . \u201d crucially , our us 1 unblended american whiskey never contains grain neutral spirits \u2013 hence its \u201cunblended\u201d distinction\u201d very light upon the nose , with soft oak aromas mixing with vanilla essences . soft and light on the palate too . butterscotch and caramel blend before a slight hit of fruit before the short finish .\na great range , with four different profiles to entice a wide range of whiskey lovers . although not once to shout about any signature serves per say , a good dram on its own or over ice would do the trick .\n\u00a9 david marsland and drinks enthusiast 2015 . unauthorized use and / or duplication of this material without express and written permission from this blog / sites author and owner is strictly prohibited . excerpts and links may be used , provided that full and clear credit is given to david marsland and drinks enthusiast with appropriate and specific direction to the original content .\n\u00a9 david marsland and drinks enthusiast 2017 . unauthorized use and / or duplication of this material without express and written permission from this blog / sites author and owner is strictly prohibited . excerpts and links may be used , provided that full and clear credit is given to david marsland and drinks enthusiast with appropriate and specific direction to the original content .\nprivacy & cookies : this site uses cookies . by continuing to use this website , you agree to their use . to find out more , including how to control cookies , see here : cookie policy\nempower your business applications with industry -

i called the number listed , but immediately got a rude man who told me , after i said i needed a taxi and where to pick my friends and me up and drop us off , call 410 - 272 - 3000 ! i started to look for other taxi companies , but was having a hard time finding one open 24 / 7 that was nearby , so i called the number and reserved a taxi with kate . i gave her my number . first , the taxi driver never called to let us know he was outside the hotel . i called kate back and she let me know he was outside the hotel . second , the driver ended up purposely taking the wrong route and charged us double . we found this out after we rode back to the hotel in a taxi from another company . we sensed something was up , but being our first time , went with the flow . third , the taxi driver who picked up a group of drunk douches who ran to the taxi faster than we could , like it was a race , did not even identify us or tell the guys to get out when i called to let a rep , it may have been kate again , know we were waiting for our taxi . she said the taxi driver told her he picked up another group . she also said that another taxi would pick us up in 10 - 15 minutes and gave no apology ! thank goodness less than 10 minutes later a taxi driver from another taxi company drove in the parking lot and happily agreed to take us back to the hotel since he had a no show at a bar close to where we were . it is ironic because bel air taxi did not call to let us know our driver arrived , but they called when we were not there to get picked up ! i did not answer ; i saw no sense in yelling at them since they know they are incompetent . i learned my lesson , but i just wanted to give people a head\u2019s up just in case they are considering using this company .\nwichita !

cropping . mono - cropping is planting only one crop on a field that was adapted with the intention of maximizing the amount of seeds you could plant on one field and in a shorter period of time . looking back on it today , it seems our ancestors were on to something , as there still a lot of value held in the practice of intercropping .\ngemelle brion is a masters student in the uvm food systems graduate program . she is studying intercropping systems with a focus on insect pest control in uvm\u2019s insect agroecology lab under the guidance of professor yolanda chen .\npopulation was observed in castor + green gram , castor + black gram , and castor monocrop ( 1 . 12 to 1 . 29 per plant ) . the significant effect of these intercropping systems on the population of\nwhile you won\u2019t reach a 40 bushel crop of canola with intercropping due to competition , it\u2019s like getting a free crop because we utilize more of the seed bed . you have to give something up to get something .\nin order to have an appropriate discussion , however , we\u2019ll need to define and separate a few ideas so that all readers are on the same page . for those of us who\u2019ve studied permaculture , the point of intercropping will be fairly obvious , if not completely familiar and / or recognized under a different name . nevertheless , we will ultimately examine why we might want to try it , as well as some of the more commonplace considerations for intercropping .\nha smith , and r mcsorley , intercropping and pest management : a review of major concepts : american entomologist [ am . entomol . ] . vol . 46 , no . 3 , pp . 154 -

host plants . this explanation for how intercropping can reduce pest densities implicates pests with a narrower rather than a broader host range .\nbeyond not using the same family , there are some other considerations . with mixed intercropping , it\u2019s imperative to consider root structures , such that plants don\u2019t crowd each other out beneath the surface , as well as above groundsizes , which could interfere with the specific sun requirements of other plants . or , considering strip intercropping , it would be very important to practice sound crop rotation within the rows in order to avoid dormant pests and diseases in the next crop , as well as\u2014again\u2014specific nutrient depletion in soil .\npatt , j . m . , g . c . hamilton , and j . h . lashomb . 1997 . impact of strip -

sensitive legume as living mulch ( bergkvist , 2003 ; th\u00e9riault et al . , 2009 ; cadoux et al . , 2015 ; lorin et al . , 2015 ) . the advantage of intercropping annual legumes with cabbage and cauliflower in turkey ( guvenc , 2005 , 2006 ) and broccoli in the usa ( coolman and hoyt , 1993 ) over sole crops , were demonstrated in vegetable production . in india , intercropping mustard and annual legumes for oil and food , increases yield stability , nutrient availability , and water use efficiency and provides monetary advantage over sole crops ( banik et al . , 2000 ; singh et al . , 2010 ; devi et al . , 2014 ) . . . .\nthese are the basic four methods commonly employed . sometimes they involve annual grains and vegetables , such as the mixed intercropping classic of corn , beans and squash . sometimes there are perennial species with annual crops grown amongst them , say perennial garlic and basil with annual tomatoes . perennials also work well with other perennials . in parts of the tropics , bananas , papayas , coffee , vanilla and cacao make a crackerjack intercropping team . sometimes these work in organized rows , other times in other patterns , but the main thought is to make thoughtful combinations .\nhowever , what it isn\u2019t\u2014at least not if done well\u2014is a careless congregation of different plants . some things just don\u2019t belong together . for example , tomatoes , eggplants and potatoes are all from the nightshade family , so they don\u2019t work well for intercropping . for one , they use similar nutrients . as well , they attract similar pests and are susceptible to similar diseases . intercropping with things from the same family is asking for nutrient depletion while promoting troublesome insects and illnesses through a lesser version of , though not far off from , mono - cropping .\nadvantages : 1 . intercropping gives higher income per unit area than sole cropping . 2 . it acts as an insurance against failure of crop in abnormal year . 3 . intercrops maintain soil fertility as the nutrient uptake is made from both layers . 4 . reduce soil runoff . limitations : intercropping system is uneconomical and undesirable during rabi . crops to be considered for intercropping . a ) kharif crops : 1 . medium black soils : a ) pearl millet + red gram 2 : 1 b ) pearl millet + horse gram / kidney bean / cow pea inter row of pearl millet . 3 . soils up to 20 cm depth a ) pearl millet + red gram ( 30 -

ural systems where resource use is comple - mentary rather than compeve ( coolman and hoyt 1993 , denevan et al . 1995 ) . for example , solar radiaon can be more fully used by differenaon in maximum photo - synthesis rate , different pathways of carbon fixaon or by manipulang leaf area and leaf density through combining maximum adult stature , shade tolerance of leaf angle ( ewel 1986 ) . . . .\n. . . finally , the cc and cp can be cultivated by relay intercropping . this method involves the sowing of the cp under a well - established cc canopy before maturity ( coolman and hoyt , 1993 ) . the cp emerges within the cc , and grows slowly due to its limited access to light . . . .\ndepending of the crops intercropped , competition for water , light and nutrients may result in lower yields . one limitation with intercropping is that it is not often compatible in farming systems where there is a high degree of mechanization or when the component crops have different requirements for inputs . intercropping often calls for careful timing of field operations , and it may necessitate special interventions to keep competition between the intercropped species in balance . a crop mix that works well in one year may fail the next if weather favors one crop over another . a mixture of crops with different growth forms or timing of development may make cultivation and use of inputs more difficult and less effective .\n1 . intercropping gives additional yield income / unit area than sole cropping . 2 . it acts as an insurance against failure of crops in abnormal year . 3 . inter - crops maintain the soil fertility as the nutrient uptake is made from both layers of soil . 4 . reduction in soil runoff and controls weeds . 5 . intercrops provide shade and support to the other crop . 6 . inter cropping system utilizes resources efficiently and their productivity is increased ( reddy and redid , 1992 ) . 7 . intercropping with cash crops is higher profitable . 8 . it helps to avoid inter - crop competition and thus a higher number of crop plants are grown per unit area .\n7 . intercropping and other intensive cropping approaches < ul > < li > intercropping \u2013 growing rows or plants of a quickly maturing vegetable between those of a slow growing one . < / li > < / ul > < ul > < li > catch cropping \u2013 growing a quickly maturing crop on soil left vacant by a harvested crop or set aside to be planted later . < / li > < / ul > < ul > < li > mixed cropping \u2013 growing several vegetables together that benefit each other and are harvested at the same time ( e . g . \u2019the three sisters\u2019 : sweet corn , beans and squash ) . < / li > < / ul >\ni\u2019m interested in farming practices that use the ecology of the farm to correct resource and pest imbalances . intercropping is a prime example of such a practice . practices that rely on on -

alone approach to pest management , or it can be combined with other pest management strategies , including chemical and biological control and the use of resistant plant varieties . the successful use of intercropping to manage pests depends on a thorough understanding of how distinct crop characteristics and combinations will influence the behavior of pest and beneficial arthropods . in addition , the challenges of combining crops in a manner that minimizes competition and assures acceptable yields must be addressed .\nrepellant intercrops : an intercrop that has a repellent effect can also be used for insect pest control . this often requires more rows of the intercrop to be planted than in a trap crop system . in this system , the repellent intercrop masks the production crop from the insect pest , deterring the insect from its host crop . whether the repellency is due to chemicals emitted by the plant or due to the physical structure of the intercrop is unknown . an example of repellant intercrops can be seen in a recent study that showed that intercropping leeks with beans ( host plant ) had a repellent effect on the bean fly .\n. . . these results are also in agreement with the intermediate disturbance hypothesis ( bongers et al . 2009 ) , which states that at an intermediate level of disturbance species richness and hence , functional diversity , is higher , because of the coexistence of early - successional acquisitive species with late - successional conservative ones ( see also lasky et al . 2014 ) . the large trait variation in agricultural land can be attributed to intercropping systems ( coolman and hoyt 1993 ) . slash - and - burn management techniques can maintain a number of species and functional diversity ( altieri 2004 , chazdon et al . 2009 ) . . . .\n. . . these results are also in agreement with the intermediate disturbance hypothesis ( bongers et al . 2009 ) , which states that at an intermediate level of disturbance species richness and hence , funconal diversity , is higher , because of the coexistence of early successional acquisive species with late - successional conservave ones . the large trait variaon in agricultural land can be abributed to the intercropping systems , in which more than one species of crop are culvated with different strategies of resource acquision ( coolman and hoyt 1993 ) . slash - and - burn techniques thus main - tain species and funconal diversity ( aleri 2004 ) . . . .\npush - pull cropping : a combination of repellent and attractant crops can be used in an intercropping system for insect pest control . this type of system was developed in africa and is called a push - pull system . the attractant crop draws the insect in ( acts as the \u201cpull\u201d ) and the repellent crop deters the insect ( acts as the \u201cpush\u201d ) . the push - pull system that was developed in africa protects corn from stem boring moth larvae by planting a grass that is more attractive to the moths , napier grass , as a border and planting a repellent crop , desmodium ( a legume ) , in between the rows of corn .\nsimilar focus group discussions were held again at the end of the project with the same set of farmers as before . farmers were asked to rate each intercropping system on a scale of 1 to 10 with respect to three parameters , pest incidence , yield , and cost of cultivation . farmers expressed that the diverse crop systems in fact experienced lower pest infestation than the monocultures . the obtained average indicated that the castor + cluster bean system fared better with a score of 2 . 1 \u00b1 0 . 72 for pest incidence , 7 . 3 \u00b1 0 . 86 for yield , and 6 . 05 \u00b1 1 . 69 for cost and was considered superior to all other systems (\n11 . learning outcomes < ul > < li > 1 . cultivation techniques ( 2 ) < / li > < / ul > < ul > < li > 1 . 1 describe the methods used to advance and extend the productive season of outdoor food crops . < / li > < / ul > < ul > < li > 1 . 2 identify a range of propagation methods used in the production of a range of outdoor food crops . < / li > < / ul > < ul > < li > 2 . crop rotation etc < / li > < / ul > < ul > < li > 2 . 1 state the benefits and limitations of using crop rotation . < / li > < / ul > < ul > < li > 2 . 2 describe how crop rotation can be used in the vegetable garden . < / li > < / ul > < ul > < li > 2 . 3 describe two methods by which successional cropping can be achieved in the production of a range of vegetable crops . < / li > < / ul > < ul > < li > 2 . 4 define the term : \u2018intercropping\u2019 . < / li > < / ul > < ul > < li > 2 . 5 explain how intercropping can be used to maximise production . < / li > < / ul >\n2 . learning outcomes < ul > < li > a . identify three active revision techniques < / li > < / ul > < ul > < li > 1 . cultivation techniques ( 2 ) < / li > < / ul > < ul > < li > 1 . 1 describe the methods used to advance and extend the productive season of outdoor food crops . < / li > < / ul > < ul > < li > 1 . 2 identify a range of propagation methods used in the production of a range of outdoor food crops . < / li > < / ul > < ul > < li > 2 . crop rotation etc < / li > < / ul > < ul > < li > 2 . 1 state the benefits and limitations of using crop rotation . < / li > < / ul > < ul > < li > 2 . 2 describe how crop rotation can be used in the vegetable garden . < / li > < / ul > < ul > < li > 2 . 3 describe two methods by which successional cropping can be achieved in the production of a range of vegetable crops . < / li > < / ul > < ul > < li > 2 . 4 define the term : \u2018intercropping\u2019 . < / li > < / ul > < ul > < li > 2 . 5 explain how intercropping can be used to maximise production . < / li > < / ul >\nthe rationale for the selection of intercrops to quantify the impact of intercrops on pest incidence is as follows . black gram and green gram are short\u2014duration legumes grown by farmers . cowpea is a short\u2014duration pulse crop also considered as an eco\u2014feast crop , which attracts aphids , thus increasing occurrence of coccinellids ( surulivelu 2004 ) and encouraging multiplication of coccinellids and other predators . pigeon pea is a long\u2014 duration crop grown by farmers along with castor . cluster bean is considered a relatively insect pest\u2014free crop and was found to record higher ler ( land equivalent ratio ) values when intercropped with castor ( subba reddy et al . 2004 ) . groundnut and sunflower are grown as intercrops in pigeon pea and castor by some farmers . sorghum is the major food cereal crop grown in dryland conditions . intercropping systems that have been found to be effective along with some other systems , both popular and / or suggested by the farmers were included .\nliving mulches are minor crops that are planted within a major crop and can be considered as a type of intercropping . living mulches may be planted on adjacent rows of the main crop , within the same row as the main crop and within close proximity of the main crop . non crop plants are typically used as living mulches in vegetable systems including buckwheat and white clover , trifolium repens l . some benefits of using living mulches include reduced pest populations , increased densities of beneficial insects , and improvement in soil texture and structure because of the organic matter added to the soil ( frank and liburd 2005 , nyoike and liburd 2010 ) . nyoike and liburd ( 2010 ) reported higher populations of beneficial insects when buckwheat was intercropped with squash as opposed to using uv - reflective mulch in squash plantings . similarly , frank and liburd ( 2005 ) found lower pest pressure and higher beneficial insect populations in treatments containing buckwheat and squash compared with other conventional systems of growing squash in the absence of a living mulch ( fig . 6 ) .\ntrap cropping : a system that uses an attractant crop planted close to the production crop is called trap cropping . the plant that is used as an intercrop ( trap crop ) is more attractive than the production crop to the insect , so the insect is drawn to the trap crop . in conventional systems , insecticides can be applied to the trap crop alone , reducing the need for pesticide use on all acres . in organic systems , an organic materials review institute ( omri ) approved insecticide could be used on the trap crop , or a mechanical means of insect control can be used , such as using a tractor - mounted vacuum over the trap crop . a good example of a successful trap cropping system that uses field vacuums is found in the control of lygus bugs on strawberries in california .\nthis page is having a slideshow that uses javascript . your browser either doesn ' t support javascript or you have it turned off . to see this page as it is meant to appear please use a javascript enabled browser .\ndo you want to change the way the world eats ? then you\u2019ve come to the right blog . we\u2019re here to talk food\u2014and the complexities behind it .\nhere , you will find news , views , research , and more\u2014each a key ingredient in the recipe for a new food system movement .\nif you would like to get involved with this blog , feel free to contact us .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nkeywords : crop yield ; intercrop ; flowering -

sequence our planting such that a cultivated choice is always occupying the space . it can help us combat pests and diseases , especially those which are soil - borne and can transfer from one year to the next . it improves the soil structure , alternating root types and adding different forms of organic matter to the surface , all of which helps to create rich , crumbly earth . it also keeps fertility levels balanced by using different plants with different needs , as well as some with valuable soil inputs , such as with the ever - popular nitrogen - fixing legumes .\nwe intercrop because to do differently\u2014seemingly so\u2014is completely counterintuitive to what serious and sustainable food cultivators would want to do . the modern -

16 % moisture while canola is about 10 % ) to prevent any spoilage . the crop can then be stored in bags or in bins .\nfertilizer rates \u2013 how much fertilizer do we apply to feed both crops , especially predicting how much to offset the n application due to the peas supplying the canola with n . i usually start with 30lbs of n and then let the peas nodulate and supply the remaining n the canola needs .\nfinding chemicals compatible with multiple crops can be difficult . there are plenty of chemicals for just peas or canola on their own , but far less when you need to apply an application to both . this can make a weed resistance issue a lot more complicated and can cause you to be forced to use a chemical that may be registered for one of your intercrops , but not the other .\npeas feed the canola with nitrogen , while canola gives the peas legs to stand rather than lying flat on the ground . saves money on inputs and no lifters needed to pick the crop up .\nwhen conditions are right and all the factors properly align , these can be some our best paying crops on the farm .\ngrowing of two or more crops simultaneously on the same piece of land ( field ) . there is a crop intensification in both time and space dimensions . there is intercrop competition during all or part of crop growth .\nin rained areas of maharashtra : 1 . sorghum / pearl millet / cotton + red gram / black gram or kidney bean or cowpea or groundnut . 2 . groundnut + sunflower . cotton + soybean , cotton + black gram safflower + gram\nselection of intercrop is one the basis of duration of crop and growth rethyms . the short duration crop gets harvested and long duration crop gets the benefits of september showers and produces more yields . e . g . pearl millet + red grams .\nurltoken \u00a9 2015 . all rights reserved . web site development , web site designing , seo by onclick\nlocation : hanson beeyard , fort lupton , colorado featuring : larry , craig , gary , and brian since 2005 many bee colonies around the globe have mysteriously disappeared . everything from cellphone . . . read more\nfeaturing : bill and nicolette niman location : bn ranch , marin , californiathe niman\u2019s secret for \u201cantibiotic -

speed close - ratio , however , the red tauro v8 spider is fitted with an optional general motors - sourced automatic paddle - shift gearbox . the tauro also gets a limited slip differential , independent suspension on both axles with double wishbones , monotube shocks and springs . the brakes are 360mm ventilated discs with six - piston calipers at the front , at the rear , disks are 335mm ventilated with four - piston calipers .\nshould a customer desire greater performance , tauro will happily install some power upgrades . modifications to the camshafts and cylinder heads lift output to 480 horsepower , and if even more performance is demanded a supercharging kit will offer as much as 650 horsepower .\nso far only two cars have been built though tauro plans a small run of 30 cars altogether . the company is currently taking orders and expects final pricing to come in at roughly 100 , 000 euros ( approximately $ 125 , 315 ) .\nthe car scene is so diverse where i come from , most enthusiasts recognize the amazing engineering ( particularly the engines ) . the bulk of the ridicule originates from the manner in which many of the vehicles are modded / maintained . thus , the jokes and or hate tends to be aimed more at the owner rather than the machine . all of which makes seeing properly sorted old toyota ' s and hondas at car meets , auto shows , and track days all the more refreshing .\na new player has entered the sports car market , the tauro v8 spider manufactured in valladolid , spain . the spider was officially unveiled recently , it\u2019s a two -

gravity dam ( h = 93 . 5 m , l = 273 m ) , a headrace tunnel ( a = 28 . 4 m2 , l = 4 ' 582 m ) , a surge chamber ( vertical with 2 cross - sectional dimensions : 28 . 3 m2 and 113 . 1 m2 ) , two steel penstocks ( d = 2 . 4 m , l = 130 m ) and an outdoor powerhouse equipped with two vertical francis units ( h = 138 m , q = 2 x 25 . 5 m3 / s , p = 2 x 30 . 5 mw ) .\non thursday 17 october 2017 , at the new albula tunnel of the rhaetian railway ( rhb ) , the breakthrough into the reverse drive of the cavern was achieved . with this , the excavation from preda ( main lot ) met the reverse drive which has previously been excavated from a cavern . the reverse drive was commissioned separately for the excavation of the raibler - cornieule ( most delicate zone of the massif at the albula tunnel ) . lombardi , in an engineering consortium , is responsible for the construction supervision of the reverse drive from the cavern , including the special construction measures such as freezing method and solidification injections see also website rhb ( in german only ) : urltoken\nthis article is issued from wikipedia -

designed , portions of the wide river channel were narrowed or barricaded to prevent boats from bottle - necking or getting caught in a backflow , and a planned whirlpool effect was scrapped .\nmany modern river rapids rides feature a much narrower river channel as well as smaller boats ( 6 seats as opposed to 12 seats ) . some are heavily themed , while others may present a natural setting for added realism . multiple manufacturers have introduced new elements to the rapids ride concept : a vertical lift system , shoot the chute - style drops , and a whirlpool feature .\ngenerally , the station starts at the highest point on the ride , with the river channel having a slight gradient to it for the remainder of the ride . a lift hill then brings the boats back up to station level at the end of the ride . this is usually also the point where the ride ' s main pumps are housed , bringing the water up from the low point and back up to the high point . the gradient on the river channel provides the water with its flow and pace . this also has the interesting side effect such that when the ride ' s pumps are switched off at the end of operation or in an emergency , the water naturally flows back to the end of the ride where it collects , leaving the majority of the ride ' s river channel empty and drained until the pumps are turned back on . all intamin permanent ( and most other ) river rapids rides feature a connected lake of some sort at the end of the ride before the lift hill . this is sometimes used to store broken boats . its main purpose , however , is to help store the large amounts of water that collect at the end of the ride ( before the lift hill ) once the ride ' s main pumps are turned off . this is the water that would have been circulating around the ride when it is in operation . when observed , you can usually see the height difference in the water level in this lake from when the rides pumps are turned on , to when they are turned off . this effect is usually less noticeable if an already existing larger lake is used for the ride ' s water storage . generally , a longer rapids ride will need a larger lake , as there will be more water to store once the ride ' s pumps have been turned off . depending on the size and length of the river rapids ride , it can take up to 15 minutes to fill the ride ' s channel up from empty once the pumps have been switched on .\nthe flowing water makes its way over wooden logs or plastic tubes strapped to the base of the river channel , which disrupt the smooth flow of the water , thus providing the ride with its ' rapids ' . most river rapid rides also feature a wave section , where the river channel widens and a wave machine creates waves at a 90 degree angle to the flow of the water and the boats . rocks are also sometimes bolted to the base of the river channel on metal frames , which helps create a more natural rapids feel .\nthere are generally two types of river rapids ride stations : those with conveyor belts and those with turntables . those with conveyor belts are able to lift the raft completely out of the stream of water ( usually as an extension of the lift hill at the end of the ride ) and advance it to various points in the station to allow passengers to enter and exit via raised straight platforms on either side of the conveyors . stations that utilize a turntable allow the raft to stay in the stream of water as the turntable continuously revolves , with the rafts wedged between the turntable and a curved surface so that the rafts move at the same speed as the turntable ( and not at the same speed as the water ) . when they reach a certain point around the turntable , the rafts become un - wedged and are released in relatively even intervals to traverse the course .\nafter leaving the station , the raft will enter relatively calm waters . after travelling a safe distance ( usually 5\u201315 metres ) , the raft will enter more turbulent waters . usually rapids are made by the amusement park having large cylinder tubes underneath the water . the bigger the tube , the bigger the rapids . along with the rapids , there are often waterfalls .\nfinally , there may be pressurized water jets . an automated system may spray streams of water through a nozzle directed toward a passing raft , or on other rides , large amounts of water may shoot from a jet or cannon , often pointed upward so that the falling water will douse riders . some parks ( for instance , busch gardens tampa bay ) , have coin - operated water jets and cannons so that passersby can pay to attempt to soak riders .\nplease help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . unsourced material may be challenged and removed .\nthis page was last modified on 22 december 2015 , at 09 : 23 .\nthis article ' s content derived from wikipedia , the free encyclopedia ( see original source ) .\nan inverted roller coaster is a roller coaster in which the train runs under the track with the seats directly attached to the wheel carriage . this latter attribute is what sets it apart from the older suspended coaster , which runs under the track , but swings via a pivoting bar attached to the wheel carriage . inverted coasters are notable for their reversed orientation compared to a traditional roller coaster , with the legs rather than the arms exposed .\ncan ' t find a community you love ? create your own and start something epic .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\neuro - mir , a spinning roller coaster at europa - park , germany .\na spinning roller coaster is a roller coaster with cars that rotate on a vertical axis .\n, first built in 1908 by henry riehl . instead of trains , the ride had\ntubs\nwith seats built around the perimeter facing inward . these tubs spun freely on their chassis as they travelled down the track , which was trough - like and similar to that of a\n. virginia reels did not have big hills or drops , but rather many sharp turns . toward the end were two helices , and finally a drop into a dark tunnel . the last full size virginia reel closed at\nsimilar spinning coasters were made by the chinese ride company golden horse and the german company maurer s\u00f6hne , whose model is called a compact spinning coaster . these models feature cars with four seats divided into two rows facing away from each other .\nmaurer s\u00f6hne introduced its xtended sc spinning coasters in the late 1990s . the seat configuration is the same as maurer s\u00f6hne ' s compact spinning coaster , but unlike that model , the xtended sc has large , twisted layouts with many vertical hairpin turns intended to spin the cars around and give each rider a different experience every ride . examples include winjas at germany ' s phantasialand , sonic spinball ( previously spinball whizzer ) at the uk ' s alton towers and dragon ' s fury at the uk ' s chessington world of adventures .\na similar ride debuted in 2004 when the first two gerstlauer spinning coasters opened : fairly odd coaster ( formerly timberland twister ) at nickelodeon universe inside the mall of america , and spinning dragons at worlds of fun . these coasters have twisted track layouts similar to maurer s\u00f6hne ' s xtended sc , but the seats on gerstlauer spinning coasters face towards each other , as with the virginia reel .\nin 1995 intamin debuted a spinning coaster with trains instead of individual cars : comet express at lotte world in seoul , south korea . the trains have eight cars , with each car ' s two seats side by side . like the maurer s\u00f6hne and gerstlauer spinning coasters , this\ntwist and turn coaster\nfeatures a twisted track layout . three of these models have been built around the world .\nanother spinning coaster with trains , euro - mir , was built by mack rides of germany in 1997 at europa - park . the trains consist of four cars with four seats divided into two rows facing away from each other . the coaster has a twisted track layout that is built around five cylindrical towers . mack opened a second coaster of this type , sierra sidewinder , at knott ' s berry farm in 2007 .\n. the new york times . 1908 -

called\nrussian mountains ,\nwhich were specially constructed hills of ice , located especially around saint petersburg .\nbuilt in the 17th century , the slides were built to a height of between 70 and 80 feet ( 24 m ) , consisted of a 50 degree drop , and were reinforced by wooden supports .\nrussian mountains\nremains the term for roller coasters in many languages .\nsome historians say the first real roller coaster was built under the orders of russia ' s catherine the great in the gardens of oreinbaum in saint petersburg in the year 1784 . other historians believe that the first roller coaster was built by the french . the\nboth featured wheeled cars securely locked to the track , guide rails to keep them on course , and higher speeds .\nin 1827 , a mining company in summit hill , pennsylvania constructed the mauch chunk gravity railroad , an 8 . 7mi ( 14 km ) downhill track used to deliver coal to mauch chunk ( now known as jim thorpe ) , pennsylvania .\nby the 1850s , the\ngravity road\n( as it became known ) was providing rides to thrill - seekers for 50 cents a ride . railway companies used similar tracks to provide amusement on days when ridership was low .\nusing this idea as a basis , lamarcus adna thompson began work on a gravity switchback railway that opened at coney island in brooklyn , new york in 1884 .\npassengers climbed to the top of a platform and rode a bench - like car down the 600 ft ( 180 m ) track up to the top of another tower where the vehicle was switched to a return track and the passengers took the return trip .\nnot to be outdone , in 1886 lamarcus adna thompson patented his design of roller coaster that included dark tunnels with painted scenery .\nwith frederick ingersoll ' s construction company building many of them in the first two decades of the twentieth century .\nby 1912 , the first underfriction roller coaster had been developed by john miller . soon , roller coasters spread to amusement parks all around the world . perhaps the best known historical roller coaster , the cyclone , was opened at coney island in 1927 .\nthe great depression marked the end of the first golden age of roller coasters , and theme parks in general went into decline . this lasted until 1972 , when the racer was built at kings island in mason , ohio ( near cincinnati ) . designed by john allen , the instant success of the racer began a second golden age , which has continued to this day .\nin 1959 the disneyland theme park introduced a new design breakthrough with the matterhorn bobsleds . this was the first roller coaster to use a tubular steel track . unlike conventional rails set on wooden railroad ties , tubular steel can be bent in any direction , which allows designers to incorporate loops , corkscrews , and many other maneuvers into their designs . most modern roller coasters are made of steel , although wooden coasters are still being built .\nnew designs and technologies are pushing the limits of what can be experienced on the newest coasters . electromagnetically launched coasters are examples of such technologies .\n. it is said to have originated from an early american design where slides or ramps were fitted with rollers over which a sled would coast .\nthis design was abandoned in favor of fitting the wheels to the sled or other vehicles , but the name endured .\nanother explanation is that it originated from a ride located in a roller skating rink in haverhill , massachusetts in 1887 . a toboggan - like sled was raised to the top of a track which consisted of hundreds of rollers . this\nthen took off down gently rolling hills to the floor . the inventors of this ride , stephen e . jackman and byron b . floyd , claim that they were the first to use the term\nroller coaster .\nis used for roller coasters in japan , where such amusement park rides are very popular .\nthe cars on a typical roller coaster are not self - powered . instead , a standard full circuit coaster is pulled up with a chain or cable along the lift hill to the first peak of the coaster track . the potential energy accumulated by the rise in height is transferred to kinetic energy as the cars race down the first downward slope . kinetic energy is then converted back into potential energy as the train moves up again to the second peak . this hill is necessarily lower , as some mechanical energy is lost to friction .\nnot all rides feature a lift hill , however . the train may be set into motion by a launch mechanism such as a flywheel launch , linear induction motors , linear synchronous motors , hydraulic launch , compressed air launch or drive tire . such launched coasters are capable of reaching higher speeds in a shorter length of track than those featuring a conventional lift hill . some roller coasters move back and forth along the same section of track ; these are known as shuttles and usually run the circuit once with riders moving forwards and then backwards through the same course .\na properly designed ride under good conditions will have enough kinetic , or moving , energy to complete the entire course , at the end of which brakes bring the train to a complete stop and it is pushed into the station . a brake run at the end of the circuit is the most common method of bringing the roller coaster ride to a stop . one notable exception is a powered roller coaster . these rides , instead of being powered by gravity , use one or more motors in the cars to propel the trains along the course .\nif a continuous - circuit coaster does not have enough kinetic energy to completely travel the course after descending from its highest point ( as can happen with high winds or increased friction ) , the train can valley : that is , roll backwards and forwards along the track , until all kinetic energy has been released . the train will then come to a complete stop in the middle of the track . this , however , works somewhat differently on a launched coaster . when a train launcher does not have enough potential energy to launch the train to the top of an incline , the train is said to\nroll back .\non some modern coasters , such as top thrill dragster at cedar point in sandusky , ohio , kingda ka in jackson , new jersey and stealth at thorpe park in surrey , uk this is an occurrence highly sought after by many coaster enthusiasts .\nmany safety systems are implemented in roller coasters . one of these is the block system . most large roller coasters have the ability to run two or more trains at once , and the block system prevents these trains from colliding . in this system , the track is divided into several sections , or blocks . only one train at a time is permitted in each block . at the end of each block , there is a section of track where a train can be stopped if necessary ( either by preventing dispatch from the station , closing brakes , or stopping a lift ) . sensors at the end of each block detect when a train passes so that the computer running the ride is aware of which blocks are occupied . when the computer detects a train about to travel into an already occupied block , it uses whatever method is available to keep it from entering . the trains are fully automated ."]}

spellings it would get in the way of . not to mention half the names of companies on the internet .\n\u2018there\u2019s\u2019 is a contraction of \u2018there\u2019 and \u2018is\u2019 . \u2018lots\u2019 is plural . i think we have conclusively demonstrated that \u2018sould be built into your brain\u2019 and \u2018is functionally effective\u2019 are two separate things . i would not presume to demand a spelling or grammar checking feature , but many of us know it might be helpful to any of us .\nspellcheck is knot a substitute four proofreading . had would benefit from and be far more professional appearing if it had a person or process to edit out the stuff that spellcheck leaves behind . seriously , 10 minutes with a \u201cyou want fries with that\u201d english student would do wonders for a lot of posts .\ni realize this is a \u201cfly in the soup\u201d kind of thing but communicating ideas well is a necessary part of being a success . the next generation of engineers , tinkerers , researchers and scientists are looking at this site too . it\u2019d be nice to give them a good impression .\ni come to this site for an education in spelling , grammar , and literary content . i find the posts to be exciting , but somewhat lacking in plot .\nhad would benefit from and be far more professional appearing if it had a person or process to edit out some of the had posters .\npretty sure all major browsers have built in spellcheck these days . or are you referring to the articles ?\nthey are fans of hackaday , not \u201csuits\u201d looking for a money machine . i\u2019ve got a really good feeling about this .\nthe word \u201cmarketing\u201d on their front page gave me a shiver . but then i saw their chief technology guy has long hair , so it balanced out .\nthe \u2018contacts in the industry\u2019 and \u2018more targeted ads\u2019 make me fear tte doom of censoring of comments on the horizon , and if that happens i\u2019m outta here ( like too many times on various sites before ) .\nbut that\u2019s a worse - case scenario , maybe it\u2019ll be alright , we\u2019ll see .\noh or one of those famous \u2018sign this insane eula - of - bondage if you wish to register to post\u2019 kinds of things , let\u2019s hope that won\u2019t happen either .\nsince this isn\u2019t going to merge with their site , they will probably just heavily use the advertising . a customer won\u2019t see this site and think of them , so they don\u2019t need to censor it unless they think it will increase views .\ni don\u2019t know , based on a quick perusal of their website , i\u2019m pretty convinced it\u2019s going to be a bad thing .\nin my experience , and i speak from the viewpoint of a 52 year old , whenever someone hypes how good something is , it always turns out to be very bad .\ni\u2019m with caleb on this one . if all they want to do is bring relevant ads ( which , from an even quicker perusal , seems to be their sole business model ) , then that\u2019s kind of what hack - a - day already does . hack - a - day is about bringing interesting and innovative hacks to an appreciative audience . supplyframe simply does the same thing with relevant electronic products . and there is a significant overlap between the two .\nso\u2026 what happens when a hack competes with an advertiser ? for example the whole thing with the 75mhz scope that with a simple hack , turns it into a 200mhz scope that the maker normally brands as a separate , unique product ( which it is clearly not ) .\ngood point . and if you go to eevblog , you\u2019ll notice that supplyframe advertises on that site as well .\nthat is not a who cares . this is an extremely valid point and i for one would really like an answer . caleb or new overlords care to comment ?\ni\u2019ll tell you what . if stuff like that goes down , i\u2019ll leave .\nhey guys , as i have mentioned , we really have no plans on censoring content etc . we\u2019ll do everything we can to keep it that way .\nwe have a very good track record for not suppressing content for any reason . i see this continuing . the essence of hacking is using stuff in a way in which it was not intended . i would hope that advertisers understand that\u2019s the type of customer they\u2019re reaching when supporting this site .\nwe\u2019re still early on in our relationship with supply frame . but so far i agree with caleb . these seem like good folks and i\u2019m getting nothing other than good vibes for the future .\nif there are changes that seem like they alter the type of environment we have here now we\u2019re going to talk about them openly . so stay tuned , keep reading , and keep us on our toes like you always do by leaving comments .\ni like and regularly use findchips , so that at least is one point in favor of welcoming our new evil overlords .\nyay ! and of course , the other required trope besides \u201ci , for one , welcome\u2026\u201d is that the evil overlord is supposed to make a long enough speech about his / her evil plans that our hero can figure out how to get away and thwart them . ( oh , wait , but in this case the evil overlord is actually the hero , thwarting the plans of entropy itself\u2026 so , go overlord ! )\nso , we refer to you as \u201clord bradic ? \u201d remember , we\u2019re \u201chackers\u201d which means we engineer things outside our usual area of expertise , if we even have an area of expertise .\nquestion : will there be a policy regarding content of questionable nature that might reflect bad on your company ? e . g . dildo hacks , cannabis bongs , weapons of some sort , illegal hacking scopes , \u2026\nyou stated \u201d we won\u2019t be filtering or shaping the content based on our advertisers whims\u201d but what about filtering / shaping that doesn\u2019t involve the advertisers but the company itself .\nat the moment we have no intentions of putting any new editorial policies in place . we\u2019ll do our best to keep the spirit of posts intact .\nok then , i look forward to the first dildo bong crossbow hack post ( with tasteful photos of course ) .\nin all seriousness though , i think there\u2019s actually something to be said for intentionally posting some controversial stuff in the coming weeks to prove your continued commitment to anti - censorship . one of my all - time favorite things about hackaday is the fact that it isn\u2019t afraid to post \u201cquestionable\u201d content . my primary concern isn\u2019t that the new owners will intentionally ruin the site , but that the new owners will have a paranoid legal team who end up pushing the content in a \u201csafer\u201d direction .\nseconded : ) one of the best things about this site is the general lack of censorship . projects are posted ( mostly ) based on technical merit regardless of there taboo - ness .\nagreed . fucking with the site by censoring anything adult related is going to be like what happened to yahoo / tumblr . don\u2019t do it .\nnva \u2018north vietnamese army\u2019 food is not welcome anywhere . cong rats . yum !\ncounterculture groups are pretty much always suspicious of whomever they deem to be the man , and frequently measure social status by how against the man you are . the more strident and unaccommodating , the more legit ."]}

( see attached photo ) the variety is quite impressive : - measurex - branded golf balls , - various pens , - key chains , - measurex - branded books about silicon valley , - beer mugs , - coasters / paper weights i know a variety of golf shirts were produced but i think those were for employees rather than customers . and i ' m guessing there were many other promotional giveaways as well .\nmeasurex systems , inc . v . state tax assessor : : 1985 : : maine supreme judicial court decisions : : maine case law : : maine law : : us law : : justia\nin 1968 , bossen founded measurex corporation and was at its helm until 1997 . this was a revolutionary period for the paper industry , since prior to this time few paper machines were equipped with on - line measurement sensors and control systems . the technology developed by measurex led to improved paper quality , reduced paper losses , better machine efficiency , energy savings and optimized use of raw materials .\na few years later , honeywell was bought by allied signal , which renamed its self to\nhoneywell\n. allied signal / honeywell was strictly bean counters squeezing cash cow old measurex . see below\non may 24 , 1978 , the assessor imposed a use tax assessment against measurex systems ( measurex ) of $ 76 , 870 . 90 plus additional interest of $ 13 , 619 . 83 . measurex protested the assessment and petitioned for a reconsideration pursuant to the version of 36 m . r . s . a . \u00a7 151 ( supp . 1984 ) then in effect . [ 1 ] on august 22 , 1979 , the assessor denied the petition . measurex then appealed to the superior court for a hearing de novo under section 151 . [ 2 ] after considerable delay , the parties submitted an agreed statement of facts . on march 8 , 1984 , the superior court affirmed the assessor ' s decision that the systems were taxable but found that to the extent that software was customized , its cost was exempt as services . we review the decision of the superior court [ 3 ] to determine whether measurex has met its burden of proving that the transaction was not taxable . [ 4 ]\nhoneywell inc . and measurex corp . have reached an agreement , announced on january 27 , to merge the two companies in an all - cash transaction valued at about $ 600 million , or about $ 35 per share . honeywell will start a tender offer for all measurex stock in an agreement approved by the board of directors of both companies . the merger is expected to be completed this month .\nhis vision from the beginning was to secure outstanding economic results for his customers so they could afford to pay a price that would enable measurex to have outstanding economic results for both its employees and shareholders . in addition , he wanted to provide an opportunity for personal growth for the employees so that as the company grew , they would grow . bossen also wanted measurex to be an enjoyable place to work .\nbossen was so confident of his technology that he offered a \u201cresults guarantee\u201d of 99 % uptime operation . hence , as the \u201cresults company\u201d , measurex grew rapidly installing over 3 , 000 paper machine control systems worldwide by 1988 . today , close to 100 % of paper machines use on -

measurex as a trainer here in the atlanta area . he said that the picture originated from terry kerr , an ex measurex field guy . also , while it looks like it could be system 1 , i am not sure . the scanner is very short which was the case for system 1 at simpson lee in ripon ca .\nfolks think that is jerry patel behind the scanner heads .\ni also had the distinction of getting called in to repair a system that had failed because the mains had shorted . at the back of the measurex unit where 3 long vertical power strips that feed the various pieces of equipment . the wires had rubbed along these strips wearing through the insulation and causing a massive short with sparks . i remember the mill guys clapping when i was trying to figure out what went wrong and then there were massive sparks flying out of the measurex unit . they thought it was me that caused the problem . i bowed gracefully and called my boss who was still sleeping . then the big boss dennis reminded me that i seemed to have my share of problems with measurex . after that i left for europe .\n. i confess i must suffer some responsibility or accountability for the emergence of that nefarious episode in measurex history . my role in much of life from college on has been one of instigator , leaving the flowering of such instigation to more entrepreneurial types .\nhoneywell has been very active in expanding its products for the pulp and paper industry . this has been achieved by a combination of internal developments as well as acquisitions . this latest proposed acquisition of measurex will give honeywell a very strong presence in the pulp and paper industry . it combines honeywell ' s strength in distributed control systems ( dcss ) , pulp mill controls , and process control services with measurex ' s strengths in sensor - based paper quality control systems ( qcss ) , paper machine actuators , and paper quality control services .\nhoneywell already has a strong dcs focus on the paper industry . now this will be combined with the very aggressive and entrepreneurial organization of measurex . it will be interesting to watch as the two cultures seek a common value system and a common approach to the customers .\nthis is a picture of a scanner after measurex was purchased by honeywell . the scan heads go back and forth across the paper as a pair measuring\nslices\n( say 2 inches wide ) of the sheet . if the customer has suitable equipment , measurex could control each say 2 inch slice to proper characteristics : - ) ) gauges included moisture , fiber , ( moisture vs fiber gave basis weight ) , color , thickness . a scanner was about 7 feet tall and up to 30 feet wide depending on customer equipment width .\nhoneywell insists it did not overpay for measurex . the $ 35 price represents 11 times pretax earnings and 8 . 1 times cash flow ; mr . bonsignore insists that buyers of industrial companies in the last year paid 16 times earnings and 11 . 7 times cash flow .\ntambakeras sums up the merger this way :\nthe number one priority is the customer , as honeywell and measurex define their combined systems and service organizations . honeywell will move rapidly on the merger to address the needs of customers in the area of products and support .\nthey started in a garage setup at 330 matthew street in santa clara ( on the perimeter of san jose airport ) , later used by stormedia ( a ridgid disk maker ) . later on measurex moved to the cupertino location when they bought the cannery property in monta vista .\nhoneywell has a long history of customer support . new products , such as the tps system , are backwards compatible with existing total distributed control ( tdc ) systems . and tdc 3000 systems were compatible with tdc 2000 . this will continue as the honeywell and measurex systems converge .\nhaving been with measurex from march 1971 to june of 1977 starting on mathew street , then # 1 results way in cupertino and then finally out of the portland , oregon office ; well there were a lot of\ninteresting\nstories to tell . . . and interesting people .\nconclusion . dave bossen still bristles at the idea of retirement . in his new position as chairman and ceo , he will focus on long -

temperature positions , places with high vibration , or sheets with a lot of chemicals in them . this tended to restrict us to more of the specialty business . when a system was ordered for mass products , such as newsprint and liner , we would lose out to measurex and accuray . another reason we would lose is that we did not sell our systems on a money - back guarantee basis with a baby - sitter ; my business philosophy would not allow me to do that . as a result , we never were in the red financially , but on the other hand , this may have restricted our growth . it was also difficult for us to compete with measurex and accuray as their home market was about 50 % of the business , whereas europe only represents about 25 % of the market ."]}

fish farming in inundated areas form part of the changing technologies in myanmar . paddy - fish farming is being introduced in deep water areas where the cultivation of deep water paddy as a single crop even was an uncertainty . paddy - fish farming has enabled the double cropping of paddy or paddy followed by other crops , while additionally permitting fish and prawn culture in the pond and breeding of animals on the bunds . the cultivation of paddy in functional paddy -

pronged strategy was evidenced by one of harman ' s first acquisitions , a car stereo company that he purchased in 1982 and dubbed harman motive . when harman bought the small company it was generating sales of about $ 8 million per year . before the end of the decade , however , the division was churning out a big $ 100 million in annual revenues .\nthis communication also makes reference to harman\u2019s awarded business or \u201cbacklog\u201d , which represents the estimated future lifetime net sales for all of harman\u2019s automotive customers . harman\u2019s awarded business does not represent firm customer orders . harman reports its awarded business primarily based on written award letters . to validate these awards , harman uses various assumptions including global vehicle production forecasts , customer take rates for harman\u2019s products , revisions to product life cycle estimates and the impact of annual price reductions and exchange rates , among other factors . the term \u201ctake rate\u201d represents the number of units sold by harman divided by an estimate of the total number of vehicles of a specific vehicle line produced during the same timeframe . the assumptions harman uses to validate these awards are updated and reported externally on an annual basis .\ndepartment of commerce exchange of letters on the resignation of sidney l . harman as under secretary .\nthank you for your interest in harman . please select from the choices below for more information .\nemerging in june that year , this new harman international had about 60 percent of the old company ' s assets . washington was home for harman by this time , so he put his lean corporate headquarters here ( it currently has only seven people ) . in 1985 , the company scored a first of sorts by regaining some territory lost by the u . s . industry . it bought back the harman -

walking the boundaries of the parish was an obvious opportunity to do so .\nthe ritual of beating the bounds of the ancient borough of llantrisant originated during the early history of the town when in may or june every seven years the clergy and town officials went in procession around the boundary . the charter of 1346 conferred many privileges on the burgesses of llantrisant and these were exercised within and bounded by the \u201cliberties of the borough\u201d \u2013 in other words , the boundary . by undertaking the ceremony in may or june none of the harvests would be spoilt by the great procession trooping through the field and the daylight hours long enough for the ceremony . according to former clerk trefor rees , the earliest recorded existence of beating the bounds in llantrisant took place in 1555 , although the ceremony has its origins back in the 9th century .\na tradition that has long since died out in winchester is that of beating the bounds . it involved young boys being\nbumped\nat various points along the city boundary . the purpose , lost in antiquity , was probably a memory of some primitive ritual to bless the land .\ntraditionally beating the bounds took place on ascension day or in rogation week and would also involve prayer and intercessions for spring and a good harvest . in england the tradition stretches back at least as far as the anglo - saxons and probably has both roman and pagan origins .\nthe tradition of beating the bounds still continues in many parishes around britain although sadly is not as prevalent as it once was . british pathe has some delightful archive film of the tradition which can be found on their website . the clip above is of a revival in hereford in 1933 .\nthe traditional day for beating the bounds of the parish was holy thursday ( ascension day ) 40 days after easter . the rogation days fall on the four days from the fifth sunday after easter which itself falls on the sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox . in different places these may be called cross days , gang days or grass days .\na tradition which has been rejuvenated within cholesbury - cum - st leonards parish in more recent times has been the periodic ' beating of the bounds . ' no doubt this custom would have occurred at regular intervals around the manors and later church parish boundaries that historically constituted this parish . immediately prior to 1934 covering the area of the current parish there were four principle civil parishes ; buckland , cholesbury , hawridge and st . leonards . in more recent times and in recognition of the establishment of the civil parish a beating of the bounds ceremony occurred in april 1974 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the parish .\n\u201ci\u2019ve been \u2018beating the bounds\u2019 of westerham the last few years\u201d , malcolm tells me , \u201cand i enjoy the day for a number of reasons . a good walk in the countryside around westerham , i like the focus it brings to the town and i also believe that we should appreciate and keep alive our local traditions\u201d .\nthis is a podcast made by the making suburban faith team when we took part in the beating the bounds walk on may bank holiday monday 2015 . beating the bounds is an ancient tradition , carried out once a year when the parish priest , churchwardens and congregation would walk around the formal boundary of the parish . they would mark the boundary stones of the parish , sometimes by \u2018bumping\u2019 the boys of the parish on the stones . the walk served a practical purpose to determine the true extent of the parish , ensuring the extent of those required to contribute to the church , or who might require its services , such as burial . the young boys were supposed to ensure that this knowledge of the parish boundaries was passed on through oral tradition .\n' now we must make a shout here that we may recollect the bounds . ' the people then huzzard and took off their hats .

raises money for hanwell carnival , one of the oldest carnivals in london . it is no longer led by priests , although it does include , of course the parish church of st mary\u2019s in hanwell and the famous gospel oak tree , which once marked the site of outdoor services between the parishes of hanwell and brentford . like the carnival procession itself , beating the bounds blends secular and religious understandings of suburban space , and their intertwined and changing histories . the route takes in the canal , tube - station , semi - detached houses and back gardens , allotments , the golf course , a housing estate and edge city green spaces along the roadside .\nthe beating party is made up of students from st dunstan ' s college , catford , who return to their roots in the parish of st dunstan - in - the - east to take part in the proceedings , together with the clergy and the masters of our associated livery companies . the south boundary of the parish is mid - stream of the thames and the beating party board a boat which takes them out onto the river to beat that boundary mark . they then return to shore and the procession moves around the parish , stopping at various points to allow the beating party to mark the boundaries with canes as they go . the ceremony is followed by a service of\nbeating the bounds played an important part in reinforcing anglo saxon

importance to the landowner who would define the extent of their territory and ensure corrections or repairs were instigated where there had been an encroachment .\ntoday it\u2019s the congregation of

beating ' of a parish boundary for both the christian and legal ceremonies have become woven together as church jurisdiction succeeded that of the manorial estates .\nbeating the bounds is an ancient custom still observed in many english parishes . its roots go back to mediaeval times when parishes reaffirmed their boundaries by processing round them at rogationtide , stopping to beat each boundary mark with wands and to pray for protection and blessings for the land . at all hallows we beat the bounds of our parish every year on ascension day , and this year ' s ceremony will take place on thursday 10 may , starting at 4 . 15pm .\nlater , the anglo saxons changed a largely lawless society , and through land ownership , established a new rule of law that needed periodic enforcement . it was crucial that demarcations between neighbouring communities were clearly recognised to avoid boundary disputes breaking out . beating the bounds would have played an important part in reinforcing anglo saxon charters .\nchristianity , which probably arrived in britain by the 4th or 5th century ad , incorporated a number of pagan , roman and anglo - saxon festivals and customs . beating the bounds was not originally been part of religious celebration but became gradually integrated . remember in many cases early christian churches were built on sites considered sacred by ancient britons .\nmalcolm and neil\u2019s comments provide a true testament to the local traditions that are sometimes forgotten as times move on . \u2018beating the bounds\u2019 may not be something that everyone has heard of , but for many who have , it\u2019s an important local event that provides a sense of pride and enjoyment at continuing one of the country\u2019s oldest , and possibly most bizarre , customs .\ntraditionally beating the bounds ceremonies took place on ascension day or else during rogationtide , the fifth week after easter of which ascension day is a part . it was the original intention to hold the 1985 revival in high wycombe on ascension day but it could not be organised in time for this and the invitation for it to be held after the new mayor ' s first civic service on june 9th seemed the most appropriate time to settle for .\nother traditions on bealtaine include walking the circuit of one ' s property ( beating the bounds ) , repairing fences and boundary markers as well as feasting , dancing and drinking . according to the ancient irish book of invasions , the first settler of ireland , partholan , arrived on may 1 , and it was on may 1 that the plague came that destroyed his people . years later , the mythical group knows as the milesians , were said to have conquered the tuatha de danann on may day .\n( 1761 ) pp . 213 - 214 ) . bequests were sometimes made in connexion with bounds - beating . thus at leighton buzzard on rogation monday , in accordance with the will of one edward wilkes , a london merchant who died in 1646 , the trustees of his almshouses accompanied the boys . the will was read and beer and plum rolls distributed . a remarkable feature of the bequest was that while the will is read one of the boys has to stand on his head .\n) the divine blessing upon the parish lands for the ensuing harvest . this feature originated in the 5th century , when mamercus , bishop of vienne , instituted special prayers and fasting and processions on these days . this clerical side of the parish bounds - beating was one of the religious functions prohibited by the injunctions of queen elizabeth ; but it was then ordered that the perambulation should continue to be performed as a quasi - secular function , so that evidence of the boundaries of parishes , & c . might be preserved ( gibson ,\nthey went under the subway past the anchor pub , the back of the falcon pub and to the angel pub , almost on the same site as the old angel pub mentioned in the 19th century account of the beating of the bounds . from the angel they walked up st pauls row and stopped to look at the standing stone in front of the guildhall . this was another marker point and the last place a boy was bumped . they walked along frogmore past the old red cow pub ( now demolished ) then into temple end past the red cross knight pub and turning into priory avenue . after going along priory avenue they went into amersham hill and back down to birdcage walk .\nhe expressed the hope that\nwinchester might extend itself up to those downs\n- - he did not think it would ever do anything of the kind [ laughter ] - - at least , not in their time . and so the procession and ceremony continued until they arrived back at bar end , where the volunteer band was waiting . three cheers for the new boundary were given and the mayor was hoisted shoulder high . to round off the event , there was a dinner at the guildhall . it seems the beating of the bounds had last been carried out in 1836 .\nthis tradition has almost died out ( thank goodness the boys might say ! ) but was revived in 1985 as part of the town ' s 700th mayoral anniversary . the original 1920s ' box ( pictured ) used to ' bump ' the boys ' heads on was found in an archive and re - used . the custom of beating the bounds , was once found in almost every english parish and besides its more usual name was also known as ' riding the marches ' , ' riding the fringes ' or ' common riding ' .\nthe custom of ' beating the bounds ' has existed in britain for well over 2000 years . precise origins are unclear although it can be found as part of ritual celebration within many different cultures across europe and beyond . in simple terms it involves people in the locality perambulating their farm , manorial , church or civil boundaries pausing as they pass certain trees , walls and hedges that denote the extent of the boundary to exclaim , pray and ritually ' beat ' particular landmarks with sticks .\nthe boundary line between the state of new hampshire and the state of vermont shall be perambulated and markers and bounds renewed wherever necessary once in every seven years forever by the attorney general of this state in conjunction with the attorney general of the state of new hampshire or by such person as the attorney general shall in writing appoint for that purpose .\ntoday modern maps show the parish boundary and it is no longer crucial to remind people through beating the bounds of their local boundaries however , reliance on definitive maps may still result in ancient rights of way being forgotten . maps sometimes fail to accurately reflect the extent of the boundaries of commons and village greens or precise route of footpaths and bridleways . often these are unfenced , and local people may not only be unsure about the boundaries , but totally unaware that this land has any special status .\nthe ceremony used to be very important and one of the highlights of the town ' s year . it served several purposes : to bless the field and crops , to emphasise exactly where the parish boundary was , to enable the poor to have a celebration and good time , and simply to bring the people of the town together . the actual boundary line and marker stones were considered almost sacred and woe betide anyone who had removed one of the stones or built their house on the boundary line . there are reports of the whole procession in one parish marching , termite - like , through the front door of a house built on the boundary and out of one of its windows . one elderly gentleman told strange folklore society that when the bounds were beaten near his village of piddington , close to west wycombe , young boys were made to climb up or down chimneys where the house was on the boundary . during the beating of the bounds in london on one occasion a driver refused to move his stage coach off the boundary line . those taking part then promptly climbed in one side of the stage coach and out the other .\nfollowing the re - establishment of the christian festivals the priest led the congregation during rogantide in ceremonial procession from the church around the lands falling within ecclesiastical jurisdiction .\nthe annual tradition of \u2018beating the bounds\u2019 or \u2018perambulations\u2019 has been carried out for many centuries in our parishes in england , scotland and wales . in scotland , the tradition was known as \u2018riding the marshes\u2019 ; a method of reaffirming the parish boundaries from way before the introduction of maps . in some parishes , this annual ritual is still very much part of village or town life . it is believed that this religious practice was first introduced in vienne , france , around ad 470 by the holy bishop mamertus . there were many reasons for the ceremony but the parishioners believed that it would \u2018avert great calamaties\u2019 . it would affirm their devotion to god ; ask him for forgiveness from sins and for protection from evil and to bless the congregation and the fruits of their labour .\nin 2015 , as part of the ahrc\u2019s connected communities festival we took part in the carnival , holding a stall to share our research project \u2018making suburban faith\u2019 with the public and inviting them to share their own stories of religious and secular walks in hanwell . we decided to join the beating the bounds walk to learn more about this \u2018reinvented\u2019 tradition and what it means to those who take part . in this short podcast we share conversations with some of those involved in re - establishing the walk , hearing about how the special boundary stones song was composed and how new boundary stones have been unearthed each year , as well as talking to some of those who have chosen to join the walk .\nhow much ? - - democracy has bad taste : what is quality , how might we judge it , whose opinion counts , and does it even matter any more ? - - beating the bounds : what counts as art ? although we live in a era when anything can be art , not everything qualifies ; nice rebellion , welcome in ! : is art still capable of shocking us or have we seen it all before ? - - i found myself in the art world : how do you become a contemporary artist ? - - the end .\nin a built environment that is increasingly off - bounds , owned , restricted , charged for , and in a technological age that increasingly divorces us from the physical , this is a kind of alternative cartography . it\u2019s a mapping with the feet that charts the city of the past and pays little attention to the modern landscape of retail and business ; a neural pathway in a community\u2019s memory .\none of the most significant dates in prehistoric and early historic ireland was the festival of bealtaine . the first of may is the ancient festival of bealtaine or beltane , the cross quarter day marking the midway point between the spring equinox and the summer solstice .\nit is exactly six months away from samhain - the new year on november 1 . like many ancient festivals the date has an agricultural significance as it marks the end of the unfarmable winter in the northern hemisphere and symbolised the start of the summer - when the cattle were moved to the high pastureland . the word bealtaine is still used in the irish language and translates as the month of may .\nthe event ' s organisers , high wycombe ' s strange folklore society , had some difficulty deciding which bounds to beat . the official parish boundary for high wycombe now stretches more than 20 miles around cressex , west wycombe , downley , micklefield and almost up to loudwater . many felt this was too far to walk even if it was divided over a couple of days . so strange member clive harper suggested they beat the bounds of the old municipal borough of chepping wycombe . there was a detailed account of this boundary being beaten on august 13th , 1846 ( note , not during rogationtide ) published by henry kingston in his book the history of wycombe with reflections of my native town .\nrogationtide is the ancient festival to invoke a blessing on fields , stock and folk emerging after a sequence of natural disasters in fifth century france . by the eighth century in england it involved parishioners ' ganging ' after the cross around the edge of the parish . this helped everyone to remember the boundaries before maps were commonplace . along the way prominent trees often became places for preaching \u00ad gospel oaks . locations of various landmarks - stones streams , hedges , ponds were impressed upon the children : in the past by ducking them , ritually beating them and then giving them a treat .\nthis sunday 1st may , westerham will continue its long held tradition by inviting locals to \u2018beat the bounds\u2019 of the kent town . the 12 . 5 mile walk of the town\u2019s boundaries , an annual event run by the westerham society and westerham ramblers , permits seasoned walkers and pleasure - seekers alike to trek through some of the county\u2019s most picturesque walks , including views of the north downs and other areas of outstanding natural beauty . and although the tradition isn\u2019t unique to westerham , the town is proud to note that the first recorded walk of its kind was in 1715 , although the route and purpose were no doubt different to those of today .\nmay 25 is ascension day in the christian calendar . on this day a priest with a white beard , robes flowing behind him , strides past a display of sunglasses followed by 40 people all carrying long willow wands , taller than themselves . store staff stand aside , shoppers pause to stare . the group gathers around the metal plaque . the priest kneels and writes on it with chalk , steps back and the crowd shout \u201cmark ! mark ! mark ! \u201d , beating the plaque with their willow wands .\nthe celebration of spring ( rogantide ) as part of the roman church ' s litany reached england from italy via gaul around the 8th century . the name ' rogantide ' derives from the latin rogatio to intercede , ask or beseech . the rogation days being the time of the year when god ' s blessing was asked for the seeds sown in the spring . the perambulation is thought to derive from the ' gang days ' of the anglo saxon / viking traditions ( from the norse gangen ' to walk ' . )\nthis printed account inside a parish register held in our archives at the history centre , give details of the 12 - 14 mile route taken during the ceremony along the parish boundary of leigh delamere . the start of the route begins with ; \u2018from the old ditch on the streta fosseway . here there is a cottage and a junction of a road to littleton drew . the cottagers came out and joined in the short service , the sign of the cross was made on the ancient roadway and the long walk began along the old roman road . . . \u2019\nthe romans worshipped a number of gods associated with fertility and the purification of the land . in a festival called\nevery third year the ceremony includes a ' battle ' with the governor and yeomen warders of hm tower of london at the boundary mark shared by the tower and the church . during the middle ages the boundary was always in dispute , and this meeting commemorates an occasion in 1698 when a riot took place between the people of the tower and those of the parish . the battle will next take place in 2020 following the service of evensong and , fortunately for all concerned , the exchange in present times is rather more peaceful than in the past !\nthe oldest marker stone is in the back wall of the staff bike lock - up of the clothing store zara . when the procession reaches it , a store manager is waiting to unlock it .\nfour years ago minister alan kelly turned the sod on the south kerry greenway .\nestablishment of church festivals led to a revival of rogantide as an important feast day and processions once again walked around the boundaries of the parish . however the tradition died out towards the end of the 19\nthe boundaries of the parishes of st . michael at the northgate and st . mary the virgin pass through the grounds of brasenose college . on ascension day groups from both parishes visit to mark the boundary stones by marking them with the year in chalk and striking them with willow wands .\nmarkstones are small boulders usually used simply to mark a boundary or a route , but which are often thought by the town folk to be of much more importance . they will sometimes have a ghost or devil legend attached to them . from this markstone they walked down to the london road , a40 , and to the river wye on the northern side of the rye . to beat the bounds properly they would have to walk through the river - or at least send one of the boys through it . three or four brave fellows did just that although the river was deeper than it looked resulting in quite a soaking ! the others walked westwards to the bridge by pann mill and then back along the rye . they followed the river bank ( south side ) to rye mill garage and then crossed the rye to the dyke . on their left was holywell mead and on their right the rye . as they got near to the open air swimming pool , clive harper pointed out that this was a likely spot for high wycombe ' s holy well , filled in during the 1950s .\nstarting in the 18th century , eclipse maps brought the celestial phenomenon down to earth .\nfollow us on twitter to get the latest on the world ' s hidden wonders .\nlike us on facebook to get the latest on the world ' s hidden wonders .\ncentury , largely as a result of the impact of the enclosure acts and the transfer of church parish jurisdiction to local government .\nthey continued across the rye to the dyke - the ornamental water way formed in 1923 by the marquis of lincoln . then they headed westwards ( on the northern side of the dyke ) to the teashop . they carried on round to wycombe abbey school entrance where the ruins of the elm tree could be seen in the driveway . this is probably the same elm tree referred to in the 1846 account when kingston writes\n. . . to a large elm tree on the north front of the abbey , nearly opposite the entrance hall , where the company were regaled with bread , cheese and beer , the gift of the said lord carrington\n. this is where attempts to follow the 19th century route had to end and they carried on through the town to frogmore and back to birdcage walk . they crossed marlow hill and queen alexandra road , around the college and into lily ' s walk .\nthe enclosures of the 18th and 19th centuries which ' fixed ' so many lands into common , field and bounds killed many of the perambulations . but where they do survive they prove a wonderful way of getting into the countryside , different domestic customs are still practised or have been revived in secular ways to offer a friendly way of looking at the place from its edges , checking its corners are in good heart whilst getting to know people . on returning ' home ' you may be lucky enough to be offered ganging beer and rammalation biscuits .\nevery three years the church ' s ceremony includes a ' battle ' with the governor and yeomen warders of the tower of london , marking the time in 1698 when a dispute with the tower of london over where the boundary lay , erupted into a riot .\nonce back on dry land the group tours the remaining markers before attending a church service .\n\u201cwe\u2019ve got to pick up the pace ! \u201d shouts the priest , dashing out of the doors and crossing the street into a shopping mall , followed closely by his motley congregation .\nbaines elizabeth : balancing on the edge of the world ( dgr asks . . . )\nbetween 1598 and 1834 the care of the poor was the responsibility of the parish under successive poor laws , the necessary means being raised by local poor rates . the parish had to relieve needy , apprentice children and care for the destitute . the responsibility was for all those settled in the parish ; this included illegitimate children , which sometimes led to parish officials trying desperately to remove pregnant unmarried women to another parish so that they would not be responsible for the baby ! the poor laws provided another reason for ensuring that everyone knew the boundaries of the parish . the inhabitants needed to know which authorities to apply to for help , and the authorities to know which inhabitants were entitled to that help\ncentury , it would have existed alongside pagan traditions . the celebration of \u201crogantide\u201d as part of the church\u2019s litany probably reached england around the 8\nroland wales : from journey ' s end to the dam busters : the life of r . c . sherriff , playwright of the trenches\nduring the reign of elizabeth i the incorporation of church and state led to the event becoming a more subdued affair and part of the formalised liturgical calendar known as rogantide . cromwell banned all such celebrations and the use of colourful banners .\nclive harper worked out that at least half of the route described by kingston could still be followed . on june 9th about 30 people including the new mayor , reggie goves , and several councillors met at high wycombe ' s parish church . a group of high wycombe cub scouts had been recruited as ' victims ' to be beaten . after a short introduction and an ample bumping of one of the boys on a ' bumping box ' they started the beating proper . it began at birdcage walk near the railway station with the first bumping . they then walked along to the irish club and crossed saffron platt into easton terrace and then stuart road . on the corner of stuart road there is what appears to be an old markstone , perhaps one mentioned in the 1846 account . they though this a good spot to bump one of the boys .\nin 1548 the protestant reformers prohibited the carrying of banners in processions by the clergy although queen mary later rescinded this particular church law . during the reign of elizabeth 1 the unification of church and state led to the annual rogation festival becoming a more subdued affair once again . in the 1640s , oliver cromwell banned all such celebrations as part of the puritan\u2019s prohibition of religious ceremonies .\nprior to the roman invasion , and well before the arrival of christianity in britain , celtic rituals that recognised the passing of the seasons were of great significance . springtime was important , particularly for rural communities , dependent on the fertility of crops or plentiful supplies of fish . the festival of\nsorry , preview is currently unavailable . you can download the paper by clicking the button above .\nbut there\u2019s something more . the beaters are clearly enjoying this strange peregrination behind the facades of the city , ploughing over flowerbeds , crossing quads , blocking roads , jostling through the goods entrance of the town hall while tourists gape and take photographs .\nduring the middle ages , the christian jurisdiction became entwined with that of the manorial estates , as land was often granted by the lord of the manor to the church . literacy was limited to the clergy and a few educated estate owners . therefore processions made sure that boundaries were recognised by parishioners and had not been encroached on by neighbouring landowners .\nthe use of willow wands may also be significant as the willow was a sacred tree of the druids . the connection between boundaries and child sacrifice , in some ways , parallels the antique custom of burying the body of a sacrificed child in the foundations of a new building . according to geoffrey of monmouth , the british king , vortigern , was advised to do this when he proposed to build a new citadel and it was the search for a suitable victim which brought the infant merlin to his court .\nshe is too fond of books . my contribution to the health issue of the reader no . 41\nthe procession headed across fields and over fences and more stones were laid and boys bumped . town clerk , walter bailey , laid the third stone in a field off stanmore lane and gave a short speech wishing the newly - enlarged city great prosperity . he told the crowd that he hoped the space between the stone and the city\n. . . would ultimately be filled up\n. this was greeted by shouts of\nhear , hear !\nthe report continued :\nit might come in the distant future beyond their ken , that their children ' s children , walking where they at that moment stood , would declare that the time had again come for the removal of the stones to the north , to the south , to the east and to the west , and would include a still larger area within the city ,\nadding in brackets [ applause ] .\nthe stone used to stand in an alleyway that was later engulfed by the store . it marked the boundary between three ancient church parishes , its original position shown by a metal plaque in the floor nearby .\non the morning of may 1 many people would rise at dawn to collect flowers and boughs from the mountain ash or rowan tree to hang across doorways or on the outside of the windows of their homes . the usual traditions of hospitality and generosity were turned on their heads as anything taken from the home on may day could be used for malicious spells against the owner and guests were turned away at the door .\nin ancient times the main beltane fire was lit at the hill of uisneach in county westmeath - regarded as the centre of the country and traditionally known as the navel of ireland . prior to the lighting of the main fire , hearth fires were extinguished and cinders and torches from the main bonfire would pass from townland to townland where each community would light their own bonfires . passing between two bonfires was seen as a rite of purification and herds of cattle were driven between two fires in many villages . members of the community would also pass between the fires and it was considered lucky to do this while the more daring would leap the bonfire to ensure their fertility in the coming year .\nin medieval times the ceremonial processing around the land also served to reinforce the power and influence the holder of the charter had over tenants and serfs and was an important means of asserting the primacy of the law in defining the rights of tenants . where all but a very few would be illiterate it was essential that no disputes arose over the ownership of land or rights over tithes . regular perambulation at least every seven to ten years ensured each succeeding generation understood to whom they owed their allegiance .\nat a time when maps were neither common nor accurate , all these actions made sure the exact location of the boundary was imprinted on successive generations of the community .\nthe celebration of the second millennium has coincided with a resurgence of the importance of belonging to a local community . the strengthening of powers exercised remotely has reinforced the importance of local people understanding their locality . parish maps of which this website is a digital example are another demonstration of this phenomenon . a useful account of the value of parish maps can be found on the common ground website .\nsinead kelleher the top of coom in kilgarvan is the place to be this sunday for the annual top of coom shearing competitions , which celebrates their 40th birthday this year .\nsimilar ceremonies , accompanied by feasting , drinking and merrymaking , were also found in places outside britain . in jersey there was the tradition of the ' visite royal ' in which the various parish boundaries were inspected by the magistrates of the island ' s royal court . in cork , in the last century , the mayor , in full regalia of office , annually threw a dart into the harbour , its landing - place marking the limit of municipal authority . examples are even to be found in russia and norway .\nthe story goes that the clergy used to beat the choirboys with the wands at each stop , to impress upon them where their parish boundary was . that , unsurprisingly , is an element that\u2019s been phased out . today the beaters are mostly middle - aged parishioners , tourists and students .\nthe modern feast of rogantide ( originally a period of fasting ) is celebrated during the monday , tuesday and wednesday ahead of ascension day , being part of the fifth week after easter . in fact the name easter derives from an incorporation of the pre - christian worship each spring of eostre .\nprobably the last occasion it was carried out in winchester was in november , 1900 , when the recently - enlarged city boundary was marked out . stones bearing the inscription\ncity of winchester 1900\nwere set at strategic points on the boundary . the one pictured still exists in dean lane .\nthe hampshire chronicle ' s report of the event adds :\nanother young fellow named yates was involuntarily a victim and was pulled out of the water drenched . the boat , thus lightened , righted itself and was got safely across .\nwhen he came to the church reverend wilkes inherited a map of the boundary stones and a spreadsheet of contact numbers for the people with keys to doors behind which hidden markers lurk .\nmeaning to intercede , ask or beseech . \u201crogation days\u201d were fixed in the church\u2019s calendar to coincide with the time of the year when god\u2019s blessing was sought for the seeds sown in spring ; it also coincides with ascension day , which is five weeks after easter . it became a major event in the church calendar and evolved into a walk led by the priest .\n\u201cwe go through here , \u201d shouts reverend wilkes , pointing at a grimy door in the wall . \u201cit\u2019s a restaurant kitchen . don\u2019t all come in at once . \u201d the procession files through the kitchen , pausing to beat the stone in its back wall then out past the smiling chefs and confused diners .\nso this year celebrate the festival of bealtaine , but not by burning your rubbish - that was never part of the tradition .\nnonetheless , westerham is keen to maintain the traditional aspect of the walk , and on its 301st anniversary in the town , there are plenty of planned festivities to celebrate the landmark . the bi - weekly farmers\u2019 market will be out for those not walking , whilst for those who are , a whole host of events will be the greeting upon arrival in the town centre after the hike . a barbecue and live music are all planned , alongside a unique \u2018dance around a maypole\u2019 , a convention not observed in the town since 1919 , as well as performances from the town crier . and with a bank holiday soon after , it\u2019s great fun that can be enjoyed ( and then probably regretted ) the day after too .\nthe romans who settled in britain brought with customs and the worship of gods such as pan or faunus to ensure fertility and purification of the land . this often involved sacrifice of a goat the blood of which was smeared on the foreheads of young boys who would also parade around the boundaries and whipped , walls or trees with sticks as well as any bystanders foolish enough to be in their path .\n, which coincided with may day , marked the second half of the celtic year and included elements closely associated with the marking of boundaries . birch trees , one of the first to come into leaf , were especially significant . it is suggested that maypole dancing is derived from the tradition of dancing round a birch tree to celebrate springtime .\nan excellent account of this decennial perambulation was given by the late dr arnold baines [ 1 ] and published in the buckinghamshire archaeological record in 1986 . the article makes a number of interesting observations such the parishioners pausing where boundaries with two other parishes occur to cut crosses .\nsubsequent ' beatings ' have taken place in 1984 , 1994 to mark the 50th and 60th anniversaries . the most recent perambulation was in 2009 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the parish . a similar walk to celebrate the queen ' s silver jubilee took place in 1977 and a more modest perambulation was undertaken in the year 2000 as part of the millennium celebrations . as to walks , which occurred prior to 1974 , no information has yet been forthcoming but would be much welcomed .\ncuriously , certain stones , trees or other marker points around the boundary would also be beaten by literally bumping a boy ( often a choirboy ) against the mark . the boy would be suspended upside down and his head gently tapped against the stone or he would be taken by the feet and hands and swung against a tree ! nobody knows why or how the tradition originated . one explanation advanced is that it was intended to teach the young their parish ' s limits and that the bumping of choir boys - at one time all the local children would have been involved - was ' to help them remember ' ."]}

web isn\u2019t a safe place . anonymity has its drawbacks , and coupled with the unmonitored nature of the dark web it\u2019s a haven for hackers looking to steal information and take advantage of unsuspecting visitors . just accessing the dark web can be a suspicious act , let alone downloading or viewing illegal content . if you\u2019re planning to use the dark web , you need to take every precaution to protect your identity . there\u2019s no such thing as being too careful .\nnevertheless , 71 per cent of 24 , 000 respondents from 24 countries told cigi that the dark web should be

launched on the dark web in 2011 , primarily to sell illegal drugs .\n( also known as invisible web and hidden web ) . the deep web consists of data that you are not able to locate with a simple google search . the actual size of the deep web is impossible to measure , but many experts estimate it is about 500 times the size of the web as we know it , surface web .\nfirstly , it is important to understand the different layers of the web \u2013 the surface web , the deep web , and the dark web . the surface web is any content that can be catalogued by search engines , these include the types of website we all use every day , which search engines like google \u2018index\u2019 by following hyperlinks and tracking keywords .\none possible avenue is via the \u2018dark web\u2019 , which hosts many different online black markets that facilitate the sale of firearms , weapons , explosives and banned digital materials . the role of the dark web has grown in prominence in recent years following its link to the 2016 munich shooting , where a lone - wolf terrorist used a weapon purchased on the dark web . these terror attacks cemented widespread public concern that the dark web is an enabler and facilitator for terrorists and organised criminals seeking firearms . however , despite these concerns , very little is known about the size and scope of the weapons trade on the dark web .\nwhen news sites mistakenly describe the dark web as accounting for 90 % of the internet , they\u2019re confusing it with the so - called deep web , the collection of all sites on the web that aren\u2019t reachable by a search engine . those unindexed sites do include the dark web , but they also include much more mundane content like registration - required web forums and dynamically - created pages like your gmail account\u2014hardly the scandalous stuff 60 minutes had in mind . the actual dark web , by contrast , likely accounts for less than . 01 % of the web : security researcher nik cubrilovic counted less than 10 , 000 tor hidden services in a recent crawl of the dark web , compared with hundreds of millions of regular websites .\nmany parts of the dark web aren ' t hard to find or visualize , but they are volatile . truv\u00e9 says that 10 percent of dark web sites posted on pastebin are deleted within 48 hours . he says that the majority of those deleted sites point to illegal services on the dark web , which get used up , presumably by criminals , then deleted very quickly .\nestimates on the value and volume of the arms trade on the dark web may include a certain percentage of fake listings or transactions , particularly among vendors of firearms . however , it is challenging to ascertain the extent of scamming on the dark web .\npersi paoli says , \u201cthe arms trade on the dark web is a drop in the ocean compared to the legal trade of arms worldwide . however , compared to other products traded on the dark web , the numbers are not necessarily the most appropriate indicator of how serious the issue is . a few people using illegally purchased weapons from the dark web can have severe consequences . \u201d\nat some point in 2013 when the silk road peaked in notoriety , various web outlets starting using deep web and dark web interchangeably . the result is that people wanting to find out about \u2018the deep web\u2019 end up reading about bright planet\u2019s search indexing services , and people looking for search indexing services would find about about \u2018the dark web\u2019 with various drug darknet markets and the like . following the airing of fascinating silk road documentary \u2018deep web \u2019 last week , the conflation between the terms continues .\nsome people are over mystifying the dark web . it ' s not that magical . there ' s no sharp dividing line between the normal internet and the dark web ,\ntruv\u00e9 told me .\non sites like pastebin , you can find lots of pointers to the darker sides of the web .\nthe dark web is a small part of the deep web . the also un - indexed dark web uses protected or encrypted traffic . it\u2019s a place where cybercriminals conduct their trade and legit

business \u2013 selling credit card information , electronic health care records and illegal drug transactions .\non wednesday , a man was sentenced to 41 months in prison for manufacturing and

dark net , police said in a statement .\nthe content on the dark web isn\u2019t indexed , so finding it is impossible unless you know exactly what you\u2019re looking for . the easiest way to connect to the dark web is through an anonymity network called tor . tor can be used to search the \u201csurface web\u201d anonymously , but it is mainly used on the dark web . tor bounces your searches through volunteer computers known as \u201cnodes\u201d , making it more difficult to track the origin of a search .\narticle that we mentioned previously used brightplanet\u2019s definition for the deep web as the definition for the dark web . there are a number of reasons that a search engine can\u2019t find data on the web , today we plan on covering the most common one .\nthe dark web hit the headlines in august 2015 ( and many times since ) after it was reported that 10gb of data stolen from ashley madison , a site designed to enable bored spouses to cheat on their partners , was dumped on to the dark web .\nthe dark web refers to encrypted online content that is not indexed on conventional search engines . the dark web is part of deep web , a wider collection of content that doesn ' t appear through regular internet browsing . a specific browser like tor is required to access dark web sites . the dark web holds anonymous message boards , online markets for drugs , exchanges for stolen financial and private data , and much more . transactions in this hidden economy are often made in bitcoins and physical goods are shipped in a way to protect both the buyer and seller from being tracked by law enforcement .\nwhile this seems huge , a much larger part of the web lurks below the surface web and isn ' t indexed .\none common misconception about the dark web and the deep web is that these two terms are interchangeable . this is simply not true . take , for example , this sentence in business insider : \u201cthe dark ( or deep ) web , which refers to areas of the internet normally inaccessible to users without special anonymizing software , first came to prominence with the silk road trial . \u201d while , yes , both the deep and dark web have been featured in news stories about silk road , this writer is clearly referring specifically to the dark web , which is just a tiny portion of the deep web where users employ masked ip addresses to conceal their identity .\na basic rule of thumb is that while the phrases ' dark web ' or ' deep web ' are typically used by tabloid newspapers to refer to dangerous secret online worlds , the ' dark internet ' is a boring place where scientists store raw data for research .\non april 11 , home secretary amber rudd launched a multi - million pound cyber blitz on criminals selling guns on the dark web .\nthis is how the dark web works \u2013 and it is essentially the name given to all the hidden places on the internet .\ndescription : toyouteam is a pgp required vendor shop that was created in 2012 . this

public consciousness only through incidents like the 2013 capture of ross ulbricht , who operated the silk road marketplace that hosted sales of illegal drugs and other contraband . but security companies and researchers are starting to deploy software that crawls the dark web , similar to the way a conventional search engine indexes regular web pages . as well as ferreting out or even preventing crime , these tools are showing that the dark web has a significant light side .\nwhat the dark web and the deep web have in common is that they are both hidden from commercial search engines . you cannot access either from google or bing . the deep web is a general , catch - all term that includes the dark web , but also includes \u201cmundane content like registration - required web forums and dynamically - created pages like your gmail account , \u201d according to andy greenberg at wired . that is to say , most of the deep web is irrelevant to the news stories about silk road .\ni have been told you cannot access the dark web using tablet ( ios ) . using a tor browser from the app store to access the dark web , is that the real deal web or just fakes like i\u2019ve been on the \u201chidden wiki\u201d a few times using a tor on tablet but i still have not found the 500x more info that surface web if u know what i mean , just a few links . can someone please explain to me weather the hidden wiki is the dark or deep web or not . thanks\nthe surface web : web pages that show up on search engine results . if you can find it on a google search , it ' s typically part part of the surface web .\ntherefore , i will talk more in detail about the differences between the deep web and the dark web , tools fraudsters use to access them , and what you can do to protect your revenue .\nthe dark web isn\u2019t particularly vast , it\u2019s not 90 % percent of the internet , and it\u2019s not even particularly secret . in fact , the dark web is a collection of websites that are publicly visible , yet hide the ip addresses of the servers that run them . that means anyone can visit a dark web site , but it can be very difficult to figure out where they\u2019re hosted\u2014or by whom .\nthe modern dark web ' s notorious reputation is well - earned , and the hidden internet is undeniably dangerous . though encrypted websites have existed for more than a decade , the dark web rose to mainstream prominence alongside the silk road , the now - defunct\namazon for drugs .\nyoutube is loaded with dark web horror stories , and the hidden wiki serves as a portal to the criminal underground .\nthe industries which operate over the dark web are known as darknet markets ; this includes black market sales of illegal products , to stay hidden from governments and law enforcement agencies . the dark web is also used in other ways , like communication between whistleblowers and protecting users from attacks or surveillance to ensure privacy in communication . but the dark web is mostly used in black markets as it promises total anonymity .\nthe dark web and the deep web are often confused with each other . the deep web includes all the pages that don\u2019t pop up when you run a web search . this covers everything that requires a login for a paywall or security , like personal email or online banking . the dark web is kept hidden and anonymous using encryption and tools to maintain anonymity . as any message or comment board that allows anonymous posting will show , anonymity can be abused .\nthus the ' deep web ' includes the ' dark web ' , but also includes all user databases , webmail pages , registration - required web forums , and pages behind paywalls . there are huge numbers of such pages , and most exist for mundane reasons .\njust last month , the federal authorities announced charges against a six - person operation in utah that was purchasing fentanyl in bulk from china on the dark web and then pressing the powder into pills and selling the pills on the dark web to users in the united states .\naccording to an analysis of surfwatch labs\u2019 dark web threat intelligence data , dark web markets and cybercriminal forums have continued to evolve and offer innovative new services each year , but throughout it all , fraud has remained as the backbone that props up a significant portion of cybercrime .\nthe report states that europe is the source of around 25 per cent of weapons on sale on the dark web . however , transactions of weapons sold to european customers on the dark web generate

accessible to the public . many deep web sites are legal , just purposely hidden . sometimes you may hear the deep web referred to as a \u201cbad\u201d place to go , but that\u2019s usually because many people confuse the deep web with the dark web .\nthere is an\noverwhelming\npresence of content related to illegal activities on easily - accessible dark web sites , according to new research .\ntl ; dr still no verified red rooms ( or gladiator fights or hitmen or human experiments or living dolls ) on the dark web .\nthe uk government have a dedicated cybercrime unit to tackle the dark

customer data , access drug markets and engage in other illicit activities . on the positive side , the dark web provides a channel to get past repressive internet censorship and acts as a secure communication tool for journalism .\nbusinesses looking to identify leaked data that is shared on the dark web transactions have some options . below are a few of my recommendations :\nthe so - called medicare machine is just one of several fraud services on offer on a dark web store run by the same user .\nthe dark web has a number of practical uses , not all of which are sketchy . people who live under governments that heavily monitor or censor internet traffic benefit from dark web access , as it allows them to view news from the rest of the world or even order supplies they can\u2019t obtain in their country . whistleblowers and journalists also use the dark web to communicate without giving up their location or private details .\nthis means that the hack took down nearly a fifth of the dark web . lewis told the verge : \u201cthis is a major blow considering many were personal or political blogs and forums . in the short term , a lot of diversity has disappeared from the dark web . \u201d\nto identify the potential implications of dark web enabled arms trafficking for law enforcement agencies and policy makers , at both national and international levels .\nthe ability to arm criminals and terrorists , who can make virtually anonymous purchases , is perhaps the most dangerous aspect of the dark web .\nthreat intelligence providers can help here , with the expertise to access and collect from dark web sources . remember that in many cases the same information you might uncover from the dark web will find its way to other sources , like social media , paste sites ,

learning the technical and time coordination of volume and time - demanding investments . this period can be considered as\napprenticeship of metroprojekt\nwhich laid the foundation of today ' s sovereignty of its engineers .\nyear 1974 is an important milestone in the metroprojekt history . the first section of the metro line c of prague metro florenc - ka\u010derov was put into operation . today , after 37 years , we could have a number of critical objections to this section , but it is necessary to remind in which environment the designer worked . metro was proposed at the assistance of consultants from the east and the technical contact with the rest of the world was almost impossible , the invention of designers was limited by the availability of building materials , construction technology and engineering products on our side\nbehind the iron curtain\nin spite of these circumstances , the advanced technologies were designed for the first metro section - \u201cring method\u201d of the tunnelling technology , full profile tunnelling under the protection of the non - mechanized shield , lagging of open foundation pits by pile walls or by \u201cmilan\u201d underground walls . the technology\ncut and cover\nwas designed for the construction of the metro station ip pavlova , where after the construction of side pile walls and roofing by prefabricated beams , was the station built gradually from top to bottom .\nthe first section of the metro line a was designed and built . while the dejvicka terminus was trenched and similar to stations on the line c , the other five stations were driven and with large pillars in the three - aisled construction . the only exception is the layout of the most successful station - mustek with a column structure and with the identical length of all three tunnel aisles .\nour designers mastered successfully the technical problematic of underground works in the project of the tunnel under the bottom of the vltava river which was driven by shielding technology using pressed concrete lining .\nin 1978 the first section of the metro line a dejvick\u00e1 - n\u00e1m\u011bst\u00ed m\u00edru was put into operation .\nin 1980 , the second sections of metro line a ( \u017eelivsk\u00e9ho ) and c ( ji\u017en\u00ed m\u011bsto ) and in 1984 third section of metro line c ( n\u00e1dra\u017e\u00ed hole\u0161ovice ) were put into operation . the milestone of this period was the year 1985 , when the first section of the metro line b sm\u00edchovsk\u00e9 n\u00e1dra\u017e\u00ed - florenc was put into operation .\nin 1985 the first stage of the metro construction was finished and the triangle of lines tras a , b and c was closed in the centre of the city . extensive adaptations in the inner city with pedestrian zones and park adjustments were also carried out together with the underground constructions , which meant a substantial improvement of living conditions in the city . it revealed that metro could bring significant improvements in many urban areas . this applies not only to line b , which new stations opened the possibility of rebuilding neglected parts of the city ( and\u011bl , n\u00e1m\u011bst\u00ed republiky , florenc , n\u00e1rodn\u00ed t\u0159\u00edda ) , but also to the stations in other sections of lines a and c in vinohrady , ji\u017en\u00ed m\u011bsto , and bubny - hole\u0161ovice . an example is the design of pedestrian zone zlat\u00fd k\u0159\u00ed\u017e in prague .\nafter 1989 , the only way how to hold the company with a large staff was extending the activity scope and the market scale . it was inevitable to leave the current exclusive focus on metro and other public transport systems . in these times , metroprojekt acquired the clients in the field of projecting the railway reconstructions , private developers and other public investors . one of the effective ways how to address the client was at the time turn key delivery including engineering and construction services . the first successful turn key delivery was the reconstruction of krone department store on wenceslas square . another turn key delivery was the reconstruction of the historic centre of the city of kladno . it was the reconstruction of all utility lines , roads , pavements and green .\nthe designs of libouchec , radej\u010d\u00edn , h\u0159ebe\u010d , panensk\u00e1 highway tunnels were elaborated in this period .\nboom of large shopping centres continues . in years 1998 - 2001 , the project of large complex shopping centre \u0161t\u011brboholy came .\nthe complete reconstruction of a listed building of the czech radio broadcast company in vinohradsk\u00e1 street has become a witness of a successful but extremely demanding work of our architects and designers . requirements for the layout and functional solution of broadcast facilities , studios and office space were in many aspects unique .\nrequirements for the operation of highly specialized medical facilities determined the conditions of the project of the reconstruction of the institute of haematology and blood transfusion . also , this case is a witness of a successfully designed reconstruction which was carried out in a listed building .\none of the most important projects has been undoubtedly the revitalization of klementinum area . the intention , which was implemented in difficult conditions of reconstruction in stages , was to find consistency ( or compromise ) between the conservation of valuable historic monument and operational needs of a modern library , open to top scholars and students and to the general public .\nin this period , design and construction of the underground moved forward faster again , this time it was the fourth section of the metro line c hole\u0161ovice station - let\u0148any , built in two stages , put into operation in 2004 and 2008 . even this line can boast of technical innovations in the underground construction . a technically unique solution was designed with dredged tunnels located in the bottom of the vltava river between tr\u00f3ja and hole\u0161ovice . kobylisy station was created as a mined single - aisle station with excavation profile of 220 m2 . currently , 57 metro stations 59 , 295 km double - track trails are in operation .\nmayfield \u2013 the rice homestead / mayfield historical society mark the 250th birthday of riceville\u2019s namesake , oliver rice , who was born july 15 , 1768 , with a celebration from 5 : 30 to 8 p . m . \u2026\nwilton -

grade applications . since fiori delivers only the most commonly used business applications in html5 , it , most likely , will not account for replacing all the sap web applications in your landscape \u2013 at least not in the immediate future . with a blend of html5 and other sap - proprietary ui technologies to work with , the users will always tend to lean towards getting everything on html5 because of all the advantages listed above . thus , managing the rising expectations of the end users spawns into an ongoing challenge of converting and maintaining all applications in html5 . also without the visibility of the fiori\u2019s future roadmap , quelling those ux pangs is no easy task . an unhappy user is a death knell for any new ux improvements if the original ask is not met .\n\u2013 fiori is marketed as and also technically is a web - responsive solution which means that it can be accessed seamlessly over a mobile as well as desktop . however from a ux standpoint it may qualify more as a mobile - only solution . i say that because a fiori launchpad as an entry point could not potentially replace the breadth of the portal\u2019s potential . a portal can be used in multiple flavors \u2013 enterprise , knowledge , communications etc . , which fiori\u2019s launchpad will always fall short of directly replacing . integrating fiori and other sap apps on the portal ( even from its new fiori framework page ) will lead us back to the harmonization problem that we discussed above . however , if the fiori landscape is to be made available only to the mobile world then for the end user it becomes easier to come to terms with the fact that only a few but important applications are available over mobile . so , is it mobile -

based sap applications \u2013 it is the new user experience ( ux ) for sap software , and has been marketed as such by sap itself . it is the face of sap\u2019s ux strategy and is the core pillar of its \u2018renew\u2019 segment . but how does it fit into your sap landscape \u2013 is it a cure for all your sap ux problems or a band - aid solution to satisfy the growing needs of your enterprise . in this post , i will try to evaluate fiori\u2019s ux component holistically but more from a strategic standpoint ( and not from a technical one ) . also , evaluating the apps themselves \u2013 how good the fiori\u2019s design patterns are or where affordances of certain ui elements fall short , is something that i will cover in another blog . these are purely my opinions so if you agree with me or share another opinion then feel free to post those in the comments section .\n\u2013 fiori apps are responsive which means that they are able to provide a seamlessly experience regardless of the device ( desktop , tablet , mobile ) that they are consumed on . traditionally , when it comes to consuming applications on devices , sap\u2019s software has been sensitive to a number of factors including the device itself , its os , browsers etc . but fiori\u2019s responsive design is a significant overhaul in those terms . no longer one has to wait to get in front of the computer for submitting a leave request or to track sales orders . all you need is a device , yeah any device and you can get your job done .\nfor those who were expecting fiori to be - \u201cok ( google ) sap ! submit my timesheet\u201d - kinda responsive then that is a little too ambitious at this point but could very well be another feature in the future .\nthe term user experience or ux is used so routinely these days that sometimes we tend to undermine the presence of the u in ux . it stands for the ( end ) user of the system / application and addressing the ux is about improving the experience of that system for that user . fiori does that to the tee . classical sap was very transaction -

to - completion cycle thus contributing to the app\u2019s adoption . in terms of analogy , transitioning from the sap gui to a fiori application is like operating an airplane in manual - mode to just hitting a launch button from the ground to make it fly .\n\u201cdesign is not just what it looks like and feels like . design is how it works . \u201d \u2013 steve jobs . fiori , take a bow ! ! !\nnow that we have gone over what fiori\u2019s benefits and drawbacks are , let\u2019s get back to our original question . as we all know , every sap landscape is different so there really cannot be a \u2018one size fits all\u2019 ux strategy . sap fiori is definitely a huge step forward in terms of consuming sap applications and will continue to make headway in that direction . is that a panacea for all your ux woes ? \u2013 that depends on multiple factors including your landscape and your business requirements .\nanother informative blog prath . thanks . portal is definitely catering whole diverse population of users , but fiori will gives an additional avenue for them and more over it is mostly depicted as mobile only solution . also inevitable factor of complex landscapes leads to important hurdle on this adoption .\nthanks for your comments . everyone is pretty keen on adopting fiori because of the advantages that it offers . however , for the companies that have a matured ux practice , fiori\u2019s adoption will probably go through a vetting process to see if it fits well into their landscape as -

of - the - box and provides occasional users of sap workflow a better user experience than the sap business workplace . the degree of flexibility and to which the uwl can be extended is rather high . it is possible to display tasks from multiple systems into a universal inbox : the universal worklist . also , sap netweaver bpm tasks and workflow tasks from non - sap systems can be incorporated into the uwl .\nthanks to the technology associated with powl applications , the powl inbox is very flexible to the extent that it can be configured and personalized . additional options such as the default forward and representation functionality can be added . also , additional queries can be defined for the powl inbox . in addition , the powl inbox adds some standard queries for mss scenarios such as approving leave requests .\nthe unified inbox is the first sap workflow inbox that is developed with more recent user interface technologies . the unified inbox is based on html5 and therefore has a more modern look and feel compared to the previous alternatives . the unified inbox is like the uwl ideal for collecting workflow tasks from multiple systems . whether it are the traditional sap backend systems such as ecc , srm and crm , or it are sap netweaver bpm systems . in addition , unified inbox also has the ability to visualize tasks from non - sap systems .\nthe standard fiori\nmy inbox\napp is the latest development in the field of sap workflow inboxes and has been available since january 2015 . the my inbox app is the successor to the standard sap fiori\napprove request\napp and the\nunified inbox\n. my inbox has basically the same functionality as the unified inbox , but is now released as and integrated into an sap fiori application . one of the major advantages of this fiori sap application against the unified inbox is that the tasks can be handled by different devices : both desktop , tablet and mobile are supported . this is obviously one of the key features of sap fiori . important to mention is that the my inbox sap application positioned as the new sap workflow inbox of the future .\nthe my inbox app is fully integrated into the sap fiori launchpad application and is configurable and extensible on various components . some important features that are present in the my inbox app :\nin addition , sap fiori is positioned as the new user interface technology from sap and that is reflected completely by the release of the my inbox app . the recent launch of s4hana ( the successor of sap erp ) reiterates the position of sap fiori within the sap landscape ; the user interface of s4hana is completely based on sap fiori .\ndo you following this blog questions or would like more information please contact us via our contact page .\nwith the avelon newsletter , we will send you the latest news and updates on sap process optimization .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nhp uft ( unified functional testing ) tool is an automation functional testing tool , currently available in version 12 . 01 ( from july 2014 ) . its supported features motivate developers and testers to develop and deliver bug free quality software to meet the business needs . due to its excellent features , hp uft software and uft professionals both are always in demand .\nwe have complete qtp tutorial series of 25 + in - depth tutorials . please check here .\nit is not a new product of hp , an old product \u201cqtp\u201d quicktest professional with new and advance features . initially , qtp was written by mercury interactive and released the first version 5 . 5 in 2001 , later on developed by hewlett packard ( hp ) in 2006 . in 2012 , hp renewed qtp with the new name uft ; during renewal hp\u2019s uft version was 11 . 50 .\nthe name \u201cunified\u201d reveals that utf is an advanced and combined \u201cgui and api ( service ) \u201d testing tool , strongly test the functionalities of the front - end and back - end of the software application . hp said that the new released of uft 12 . 01 provides better documentation support as compare to uft 12 . 0 .\nalso , uft supports bpt ( business process testing ) is a component - based testing framework provides strong and efficient platform to test complete business process manually and automatically , combines manual and automation tests with less duplication and its component reusability feature makes the testing process fast . enable structured automated testing .\nqtp / uft uses vb script as a scripting language , this is only a language fully supported by ide ( integrated development environment ) of qtp / uft . ide is a user interface of qtp / uft . apart from vb script , it also supports java script and windows shell script . using vb script , user can take the advantages of object oriented programming concepts , but not polymorphism and inheritance .\nalthough , i mentioned above uft is a latest version of qtp with many new features are the advanced solution for functional and regression testing .\npeople who are using qtp for past some years and are very friendly with it , every day they test many functionalities of the software application to find and release bugs , during testing process they use many other tools with qtp to provide bug free quality software . then after releasing uft , definitely a question comes in mind that why to go for uft , how uft is advanced than qtp , how we can test the software application in better manner using uft new features ? here is the solution of your all questions ,\nuft ( unified functional testing ) name reveals that is a combination of \u201chp quicktest professional\u201d and \u201chp service test\u201d , means ; uft software package includes all features of qtp and service test both . this integrated hp unified functional testing package facilitates developers and testers to test three layers of the software applications ; the interface layer , the service layer and database layer .\nuft runs on all main browsers that user uses regularly for their daily task , like ; internet explorer v6 - v11 , firefox v3 . 0 \u2013 v31 ( uses appropriate patches and service packs ) , google chrome v12 \u2013 v35 , and apple safari ( on remote mac pc ) v6 , v6 . 10 , v7 . 00 , but qtp basically runs on internet explorer , google chrome till v36 , and firefox browsers , but not on apple safari depends on patches and service packs used .\nusing apple safari browser , uft runs the test on remote mac pc efficiently due to secure communication between the uft pc and the mac pc , detect the browser object during test to take the snapshot .\nutf runs on os : windows xp / vista / 2003 / 7 / 8 / 8 . 1 and windows server 2008 / windows server 2012 r2\nqtp welcome page : welcome page of qtp is little bit different than uft , in terms of color , design , text style , and content of the page . in the welcome page , qtp provides process guidance list ( keyword - driven testing , application areas , and business components ) and many tools icons to test the applications as per the requirement . also , displays files which you have already opened earlier for work purpose and an option to hide the welcome page .\nuft welcome page : as , i have already explained that uft is little bit different than qtp , in terms of color , design , text style , and content of the page . in the welcome page , uft displays links to open and create a new test file , also many tools to support and maintain that particular file .\nalthough , uft installation package is smaller than all previous versions ; installation process has become very faster and secure , also it takes very less time during installation . additionally , uft provides option to install add - in for alm and the run result viewer with the installation package , installation process can be in any supported language by uft ; no need to install a separate language pack . during installation , it installs and configures all necessary software , tools and add - ins required to run uft . securely install the package without disabling the user account control ( uac ) for your pc .\nuft v11 . 5 : qtp has distinct options for functional testing ; one for gui testing and another for non - gui using api service test .\nbut , unified functional testing ( uft ) is a combination of both products ( gui and api ) and its features and displays in one common user interface . initially to test the application , user can choose any one of the option \u201cgui or api ( service test ) \u201d from the \u201cstart page\u201d as per the requirement .\nuft v12 . 0 : in addition to gui and api testing , uft 12 . 0 also provides option for business process testing , all together in one common user interface .\nthe new version of qtp is supporting two new add - ins : \u201cflex\u201d and \u201cqt\u201d , these add - ins facilitate users to test gui part of flex and qt applications .\nthe canvas of uft is basically a test flow pane displays all actions ( all the functions of the test scripts ) happens during testing process in graphical form . as per the requirement of the test , you can drag and drop all the actions up and down . you can run , debug , call the existing action or new one .\ninsight recording ; one of the best and easy image ( objects ) reorganization technique than other techniques , makes recording easier by providing recording toolbar . it recognizes those objects and applications that uft can\u2019t do ever using simple techniques , also helpful in recognizing applications run on remote system .\nold qtp had less debugging features as compare to new one ( uft ) . during the test of an application , debugging becomes an important process of an automation tool . due to its importance , has been improved in the latest version of qtp .\ncall stack \u2013 facilitates to see all methods and functions that are presently available in the call stack ."]}

2005 ) . soon after chevron had suspended operations in 1984 , sudanese government troops began attacking civilian settlements in the area , burning the houses and driving the people away , and in the late 1990s , nuer militias from nasir helped the army in clearing away the people to make way for the roads and infrastructure of the oilfield .\npresident omar al - bashir inaugurated the site in march 1997 , and it initially produced just 5 , 000 barrels ( 790 m 3 ) a day . production from this oilfield , which lies close to the borders with sudan and ethiopia , has the potential to bring significant economic benefits to the region . however , until recently the focus has been on clearing the population away from the oilfield rather than on a longer term strategy for developing the region . china has provided a large investment in adar oilfield of former melut county and others in south sudan and sudan and has made plans to make extensive further investments .\ncontextual and location , adar ( wuna\u2019mom ) is an area east of former melut county , which lies on the river nile in former upper nile state and to the north and northeast is maban county . the duki area , which drains the river yaal , flows through the villages to east direction to chatony village , majak , achuar , nyagoka , koor adar ( galdora ) , tham - ngool , bulij , makher , miyakol which it reaches just overhead to koor machar through maiwut and nasir from duki area of former melut county .\nthe river yaal swamps lie in a triangle north - south of the sobat river and east of the river nile . when flooded during the wet season , they extend for 6 , 500 square kilometers ( 2 , 500 sq mi ) . the swamps and marshes are fed by local rainfall and by many small torrents or fast - moving water from the ethiopian foothills , which extend for 200 kilometers ( 120 mi ) along the eastern border , and by spill water from channels of the sobat river .\ndischarge from the swamplands along the yaal river is low except in years with exceptionally heavy rainfall . most of the water is lost through evaporation before reaching the nile . it has been proposed to build a canal from koor machar via adar to the river nile to increase the volume of water flowing to northern sudan and egypt , which apparently could be done without major environmental impact , but political instability has prevented the project from starting .\nthe chevron corporation discovered the adar yol ( wuna\u2019mom lual aguei ) field in 1981 , shortly before the start of the 2 nd sudanese civil war ( 1983\u20132005 ) . four exploratory wells had flow rates that exceeded 1 , 500 barrels ( 240 m 3 ) a day . the oil is alleged in the yabus formation sandstone from the paleogene age . the field has an area of about 20 square kilometers ( 7 . 7 sq mi ) but the average pay zone is only 2 . 9 square kilometers ( 1 . 1 sq mi ) .\ninitially the field was estimated to hold 168 million barrels ( 26 , 700 , 000 m 3 ) , but seismic data acquired in 2000 pushed that up to 276 million barrels ( 43 , 900 , 000 m 3 ) . also , three small oil pools were discovered south of adar - yol with another 129 million barrels ( 20 , 500 , 000 m 3 ) . chevron started to pull out of sudan in 1984 when three of its employees were killed , finally selling all of its sudanese interests in 1992 .\nthe gpc consortium was reported to have invested us $ 12m in developing the adar yol field . in october 1996 gpc began to drill and reopen chevron\u2019s wells and to build an all - weather road connecting adar yol to the garrison or barrack town of melut .\npresident omar al - bashir inaugurated the adar yol site in march 1997 . at first , production was just 5 , 000 barrels ( 790 m 3 ) a day , taken by truck to melut town and then by barge down the nile to khartoum for export . although export volumes were tiny compared to the field\u2019s potential , it was the first sudanese crude to be exported and therefore had symbolic significance .\nin march 2000 fosters resources , a canadian company , signed an agreement with the government of sudan to develop the concession or business that covered most of the melut basin , including the adar yol field , in partnership with a consortium of arab and sudanese companies . fosters was forced to withdraw in may 2000 when its financial backing collapsed due to pressure from human rights groups .\npetrodar was incorporated in october 2001 owned 41 % by china national petroleum company ( cnpc ) and 40 % by petronas of malaysia . petrodar implemented major upgrades to the oil development infrastructure , including 31 , 000 - barrels ( 4 , 900 m 3 ) a day production facilities at the adar yol ( wuna\u2019mom ) field , now largely cleared of its original inhabitants . in november 2005 cncp brought the petrodar pipeline into operation , linking blocks 3 and 7 ( adar yol and paloch fields ) to port sudan on the red sea . the pipeline has throughput of 150 , 000 barrels ( 24 , 000 m 3 ) per day , and maximum capacity of 500 , 000 barrels per day ( 79 , 000 m 3 / d ) .\nby january 2007 combined output from blocks 3 and 7 was 165 , 000 with potential to reach a peak of 200 , 000 barrels per day ( 32 , 000 m 3 / d ) by late 2007 . by 2009 , the two blocks were producing close to 240 , 000 barrels per day ( 38 , 000 m 3 / d ) of dar blend . because this blend of crude oil is heavy and highly acidic , it fetches lower prices than benchmark crudes such as brent or minas .\nadar is predominantly inhabited by the dinka people of melut , who mainly cultivate crops and raise cattle . many of the dinka use riverine or riverain pastures along the east bank of the river nile , but in dry seasons can usually find alternative pasturage along the miyakol , bulij , tham\u2019ngool , koor adar ( galdora ) and to the west of duki area and on the edges of the marshes . the county is well suited to cultivation of crops watered by rain .\nrapidly after chevron had closed operations , government troops began attacking civilian settlements in the adar ( wuna\u2019mom ) area , burning the houses and driving the people away . this resulted in many deaths . in the late 1990s , nuer militias from nasir together with chaai ( maban ) helped the army in clearing away the dinka melut people to make way for the roads and infrastructure of the oilfield . aid workers were also targeted in attacks , with ngo compounds , farm supply distribution centers and primary health care centers vandalized and destroyed .\none estimate is that 12 , 000 people were forced to move in 1999 - 2000 while the all - weather road was being built between melut , paloch and adar ( wuna\u2019mom lual anguei ) . another source said church leaders reported that government militias burned 48 villages and displaced 55 , 000 people in the adar area in 2000 . according to international relief and development agency ( ird ) director derek hammond , the areas around adar contained \u201cfields of destroyed crops with evidence of sorghum as type of food , a handful of local people scratching around in a swamp for something to eat\u201d .\nin july 1996 the government of sudan attacked sudan people\u2019s liberation army ( spla ) positions at delaal ajak , west of the river nile . their goal was to secure passage for barge shipments of oil from adar - 1 ( wuna\u2019mom ) field . in november 1996 , spla leader late dr . john garang gave warning that his forces would attack adar yol ( wuna\u2019mom ) oil field . in june 1998 the spla captured the town of ulu in blue nile , close to the adar yol field , and in march 1999 the spla 13th battalion defeated a government brigade at the town . with this victory , the adar yol oilfield was within range of the spla\u2019s artillery .\nin april 2001 a russian - made antonov airplane broke in two after it skidded off the runway at adar yol or adar ( 1 ) ( wuna\u2019mom ) , apparently due to a sandstorm . the crash killed sudan\u2019s deputy defense minister , colonel ibrahim shamsadiin , and 13 other high - ranking officers who had been touring the southern military area . 16 people survived the crash . a spokesman for the spla denied responsibility for the accident , saying they did not have forces in the area .\nthe sudanese civil war officially ended in january 2005 , and the juba declaration of 8 th january 2006 laid out the basis for unifying rival military forces in south sudan . gordon kong chuol , deputy commander of the south sudan defense forces ( ssdf ) , which had been supported by the government of sudan , resisted the merger . his core faction , the \u201cnasir peace force\u201d was based in the village of ketbek , just north of nasir , with 75 - 80 fighters as of august 2006 and perhaps 300 reserve forces in the area .\nhis position on the border with sudan to the north and near to the functioning adar yol ( wuna\u2019mom ) oilfield was sensitive . in july 2006 , four busloads of ssdf recruits arrived in the area from khartoum . in august 2006 there were reported to be 300 - 400 active ssdf militiamen in the adar area .\nchina has provided a large investment in the adar oilfield and others in south sudan , as well as in oilfields in sudan , and in the pipeline to port sudan . china established a consulate in juba in september 2008 and upgraded it to an embassy in november 2010 . china has made plans to make significant investments in south sudan . a pipeline to the kenyan port of lamu was discussed which could provide an alternative route if sudan chooses to close the northern pipeline . it is in china\u2019s interest to resolve security problems , and as a major investor and customer of both countries china may have the leverage to achieve this goal .\nin response to a statement published by the sons or youth of maban ( chaai ) in al - waton arabic newspaper on the date 20 th june , 2017 and signed by mr . karbino awad regarding adar yol ( wuna\u2019mom ) , it was a fabrication or construction of the untruthful , or untrue , or fallacious or misleading history of an area itself . mr . karbino awad is a goat sent into the wilderness after jewish chief had symbolically laid the sins of the people upon it .\nin the 1960s dinka melut were residing in adar ( wuna\u2019mom ) as an area of raise cattle and the area itself was well known dahaar by dinka melut and nyiel people in particular . according to the circumstances of the war was disseminated between sudan army forces ( saf ) and anyanya 1 - 2 , maban people were armed by ( saf ) together with nezah the arab pastoralists to illuminate or darken dinka melut settlement and displace them from wuna\u2019mom ( dahaar ) .\nin the 1960s maban persons were armed as an elite militias alongside sudan army forces ( saf ) against or contrary to dinka melut people as supporters as distrusted by sudan government on the other hand dinka melut kept vigilant or silence in front of maban and nuer militias from nasir to1990s the late hon . chuai deng yol was appointed as commissioner of northern upper nile county by sudan government as intended to support or implement the khartoum regime policies to operate adar oilfield block 3 to enhance sudan government situation economically . the late chuai deng yol named the area by arabic \u201cdaar yol\u201d meant yol\u2019s residence or his grandfather\u2019s residence .\nin the 1996 sudan government understood the situation while the oil operations is progressing and spla were nearby just 30kilometers to the west of adar in tham - ngool village along the river yaal threatening oil workers , major thomas biar themi was armed by sudan government and he was allocated with his forces ( difa\u2019shaabi ) mujahadiin in agoordit as strong barrack to secure the road to melut from adar yol also known adaar 1 & 2 . major thomas biar themi , was strong dinka elite militias to sudan government and he mobilized northern upper nile county\u2019s people to join his forces including maban people to protect oilfield block 3 from spla attackers as assumed and many maban people joint major thamas biar and they were given army ranks by then as difashaabi forces ( mujahadiin ) .\ni was in adar ( wuna\u2019mom ) as pupil of class four in yasir primary school and colleague mr . deng buny deng duop the newly appoint commissioner of adar ( wuna\u2019mom ) county as pupil too of class two . in the 1996 -

rich countries , national oil companies control a large portion of oil and gas reserves that remain to be developed . to the extent that national oil companies decide to develop those reserves without the participation of international oil companies or if the company fails to establish partnership with national oil companies , eni\u2019s ability to access or develop additional reserves will be limited .\nanother catalyst was this : the unwavering commitment to downstream activities by national oil company , petronas nasional malaysia . this is particularly in reference to petronas\u2019 refinery and petrochemical integrated development ( rapid ) project in the pengerang integrated petroleum complex ( pipc ) .\noil and gas activity may be subject to increasingly high levels of income taxes the oil and gas industry is subject to the payment of royalties and income taxes which tend to be higher than those payable in many other commercial activities . in addition , in recent years , eni has experienced adverse changes in the tax regimes applicable to oil and gas operations in a number of countries where the company conducts its upstream operations . as a result of these trends , management estimates that the tax rate applicable to the company\u2019s oil and gas operations is materially higher than the italian statutory tax rate for corporate profit which currently stands at 38 % . the tax rate of the company\u2019s exploration & production segment for the fiscal year 2013 was approximately 60 % .\nmanagement believes that the marginal tax rate in the oil and gas industry tends to increase in correlation with higher oil prices which could make it more difficult for eni to translate higher oil prices into increased net profit . however , the company does not expect that the marginal tax rate will decrease in response to falling oil prices . adverse changes in the tax rate applicable to the group profit before income taxes in its oil and gas operations would have a negative impact on eni\u2019s future results of operations and cash flows .\nstrawn was the first acquisition in the group\u2019s growth strategy to close , and mosman said it is continuing to evaluate other oil and gas opportunities .\nthe key instruments governing oil & gas operations in tanzania include : petroleum act 1980 , national energy policy 2003 , petroleum act 2008 , national natural gas policy 2013 , and petroleum act 2015 .\nwe gathered insights from a variety of stakeholders across our client\u2019s organization to understand pain points and opportunities for improvement . through those early conversations , we helped the company define and articulate its career development philosophy .\nsongas generates electricity using gas from the songo songo island gas fields . gas from the songo songo gas field is processed on the island at songas\u2019 processing facility and then transported to dar es salaam where it is used in songas\u2019 ubungo power plant ( upp ) , the largest gas -

authored with katie salen , which examines game design fundamentals and theories .\nsepso , is the founder of mlg , the pioneering esports organisation acquired by activision blizzard in january 2016 . speaking at the gamelab conference in barcelona yesterday , he portrayed the overwatch league as the single most ambitious project he has seen in his 15 years in esports ; a competition that will push the entire sector forward , while putting activision blizzard at the forefront of it all .\nmike pondsmith was making games before playstation and xbox even existed , creating a string of influential role - playing games through his company r . talsorian games - most famously cyberpunk and castle falkenstein . joining pondsmith at gamelab is another vital figure in the evolution of the medium : richard bartle , who pointed the way forward for virtual worlds with his multi - user dungeon ( mud ) in 1978 .\nanother thing that we feel is really important at gamelab is just playing games . peter and i are always encouraging our staff to play board games at work . we also have a console area set - up . . . that ' s part of the greater idea of integrating research into game design development . when making games , probably the most important form of research you can do is playing games .\nzimmerman : no . that was during the dot com days , so lots of money was being tossed around . people were actually giving you lots of money for an idea which you could just then develop . that ' s how loop [ gamelab ' s second game ] got started . and the blix advance allowed us to open our office . but shortly after that , things got tougher ; the dot com crash , and then sept 11 happened , so there were a lot of challenges and it was very hard to stay alive during that time because most of the work that we ' ve done is work for hire .\ngamelab puzzles & games is the best place to relax and play free online games . you can play newspaper puzzles like crossword and sudoku , classic card games like klondike solitaire and bridge , and traditional games like mahjongg and jigsaw , all for free ! play at your own pace to pass the time , or aim for a new personal best -

based company says that diner dash and all of its spinoff children have generated more than 500 million game downloads over the past six years . there is something fundamentally appealing about the time management game , where you have to serve customers food as the only waitress in a busy restaurant .\nthe numbers may sound astounding , but they\u2019re perfectly plausible , given that they cover a mix of free game downloads ( monetized through advertising ) and paid downloads . they include downloads of the core diner dash game and four sequels , spread across the pc , mac , mobile phones , iphone , ipod touch , ipad , xbox live arcade , the nintendo ds , and the playstation 3 . the game is available on six continents and has been localized to a dozen languages .\nplayfirst has also expanded to related games such as wedding dash , which is just like the diner dash game because you have to rush around as a wedding planner , doing your best to serve wedding guests at a reception and keeping them happy as you juggle different tasks from logging gifts to serving cake . playfirst has also launched hotel dash and cooking dash \u2014 all with the same kind of frenetic juggling game play . all of the games are hits .\n\u201cthis has gone from a game to a brand to a franchise , \u201d said mari baker ( pictured at top ) , chief executive of playfirst , in an interview . \u201ca brand can be extended with sequels . but a franchise can be extended even further , moving across different platforms and on to related games . \u201d\nwherever diner dash goes , it stays in the top ranks . the game ranks no . 7 in the top - selling games of all time , based on data collected by market researcher interpret . at that level , the game is chasing titles such as grand theft auto and tetris . and because playfirst has this unique property , it can afford to take on a strategy that a lot of companies only dream about : getting the game on just about every game platform that exists .\nplayfirst\u2019s own research , conducted with market research firm frank n . magid associates and being released today , shows that two thirds of american adults play some type of digital game . one out of three plays games regularly on social networks , smartphones , or computers . among game players aged 18 \u2013 34 , about 80 percent play casual games regularly , and 80 percent say they enjoy playing games more than watching movies , listening to music , and reading books , newspapers , or magazines . and among game players , social networking and social gaming are stealing time away from traditional video games .\nfor playfirst , that means there are a lot of places that it can put diner dash . but baker says the company isn\u2019t simply shooting with a shotgun . when she came aboard as ceo ( taking over from founder john welch ) in early 2009 , baker said the company wasn\u2019t doing very well with its expansions onto the iphone . she pulled the teams together to focus on higher - quality games . when the games were relaunched , they went straight to the top 10 .\nin addition to relaunching on the iphone , the teams also decided to turn flo , who is an independent - minded former wall street worker who quit her job to start a diner , into more of a character . the company has introduced an adventure game dubbed avenue flo .\nif game developer rovio , the maker of angry birds , adopted the same strategy of milking its hit franchise , then you would probably see a bunch of games such as angry rabbits or angry beavers . at some point , though , the concept has to run out of gas . and that\u2019s why baker is also investing in other key brands .\nthe company has launched its chocolate - factory game , chocolatier , on facebook . whether this game takes off and spawns its own spinoffs is yet to be determined . right now , playfirst is giving special attention to the ipad , facebook , and iphone . in that way , it is making sure that it can make the jump from a focus on downloadable web games to apps , which are sold in app stores on a variety of platforms . the company managed to pull together a swat team to do diner dash for the ipad in just six weeks . no surprise : the title became a hit .\nso far this year , playfirst has launched six games on pc web sites . three of them were brand new properties and three were related to franchises . four of those six hit the no . 1 spot , and the other two made it into the top 10 . the lesson is that the company is starting to figure out how to make not just a good diner dash game , but how to make a good game , period .\nthe game business is anything but predictable . since playfirst has a dependable franchise , it takes a lot of the guesswork out of the business . the company could screw it up . it could become overly dependent on one franchise . but as far as baker is concerned , that\u2019s a good problem to have .\nnew york city , cultural center of the world ; here you can find it all . . . music , the arts , baseball . . . . basically anything , except - a vibrant video game scene ? enter eric zimmerman , who is many things : game designer , academic , businessman . but to many people , and above all else , eric is a passionate , vocal voice of the new york game development community .\nzimmerman : i ' ve been working in the game industry for almost 11 years in a variety of different contexts . starting off on pc cd - rom games , i was a freelance consultant , doing education stuff , stuff for entertainment , stuff for adults , stuff for kids .\ni was trained as an artist , studying painting as an undergrad , then got an mfa in art and technology . but my whole life i had enjoyed not just playing games but making games . even as a little kid , i used to make up rules when playing with plastic army men , variations on kick the can for my neighborhood friends to play . i just always enjoyed making games for whatever reason . and i guess it ' s continued .\nzimmerman : i did two pc titles ; one was while i was working for rga interactive in new york city called gearheads , a dueling game about wind - up toys . another one was an edutainment title called robot club .\nthat ' s why we really trying to do more downloadable games like diner dash and subway scramble .\nzimmerman : we ' ve steadily grown , taken on bigger and bigger projects , and have been forced to become more disciplined about our process . at any given moment we have three to four games in the middle of or in full blown - development , and another three to four projects that ' s not , such as consulting work , or just early concepting on a game . considering that we have just fifteen people and there ' s more than half that number of things going at once , and that ' s a lot of stuff to juggle .\nzimmerman : well , there ' s plenty to talk about in terms of what wrong with today ' s games . a lot of people talk about how it ' s very genre - fied , but that ' s more of a business crisis than a creative crisis , so i could say designers need to be more experimental , create new forms of play . but that ' s as much of a business problem as it is a design problem .\ni think that many games fail on the very fundamental of design interactivity . meaning , the game isn ' t communicating the state well to the player . the player took and action and isn ' t sure what happened and why .\nzimmerman : for me , the fundamentals of game design is not about technology . i think of it being part of the history design play which is thousands of years old . though obviously , the medium in which you ' re working is incredibly important when doing the actual design and development of the game .\nzimmerman : play - testing is more important the more experimental the game is . if you ' re doing a copy of an existing game , playtest is less important , because you already have models of what works and what doesn ' t work . the more you deviate from an existing title or genre , the more important it is to playtest due to design uncertainties ; is the core mechanic fun ? how does the player learn about this ? what elements should come before others ?\nour rule of thumb is that we ' d like to have a working prototype 20 % of the way into the project . so one month into a five month game , we ' re playing the game , though that ' s a maximum ; we ' d like to have it sooner than that . the prototypes are usually very ugly and they don ' t represent the final experience , but they begin to test the game rules and interactivity . and hopefully address the things that are the biggest questions marks , and that ' s\nis this basic idea of gameplay fun ?\nzimmerman : we are the initial playtesters , and as the development proceeds , the circle widens .\nbut like anything , you can do it well , or do it poorly like frank and i did , by not including other people in the play - testing . again it also depends on the kind of audience that you ' re designing it for . if you ' re designing a game for little kids , you need little kids playing the game . you can ' t bring in an adult play - tester and expect them to have the same kinds of challenges and question a little kid would have . in terms of game skills and even physical skills , depending on the age . same thing when you ' re designing a game for a casual audience ; you want to try and find testers who are not hardcore gamers .\nzimmerman : there is no one thing that makes a game work . that ' s like asking what ' s the one thing that makes a movie work ? there ' s many correct answers to that question . different games have different aims and succeed or fail at those aims . the point of the game might be to tell a story , to communicate a political message , it might be to have a certain type of social interaction . . .\nzimmerman : the fundamentals are similar . both kinds of games have rules and goals that put players in situations where they have to make meaningful choices . it just depends on your point of view . . . from a game design point of view , they ' re fundamentally linked , and game designers have a lot to learn from the broader scope of things that ' s followed the rubric of play .\ndigital extremes ltd . \u2014 london , ontario , canada [ 07 . 08 . 18 ] level designer\ndeep silver volition \u2014 champaign , illinois , united states [ 07 . 06 . 18 ] senior project manager\nrabbit \u2014 san mateo , california , united states [ 07 . 06 . 18 ] lead game designer -

time employee of arkadium , said kenny rosenblatt , chief executive of arkadium , in an interview .\narkadium was founded by rosenblatt and his wife jessica rovello in 2001 and has 85 employees . it is based in new york and has an office in the ukraine . the company originally started as a casual game site . but that wasn\u2019t successful . instead , arkadium made money licensing its games to well - known brands . so it shifted into advergaming . now it has more than 200 flash games which it licenses out to brands . those games can be easily customized . one of the top games is mahjong dimensions .\nin the summer , arkadium acquired urltoken and relaunched another gaming portal , greatdaygames . com . the efforts are part of a plan to step up the number of ways marketers can reach gamers . it is also adding social features to its network of sponsored game portals . and it has added new business models , such as subscriptions and micro - transactions , for monetizing its games .\nthe company\u2019s main rival in advergames is blockdot , which differs in that it focuses on creating online games based on specific brands rather than offering entire portals for web sites . other rivals are real networks and bunchball . the company is privately funded and is part of the zelnick media portfolio .\nrosenblatt said that the ad business was tough in the first half of the year , but he said it has come roaring back in the third quarter . rosenblatt said the company has been profitable for five years .\nurltoken no longer supports internet explorer 9 or earlier . please upgrade your browser .\none recent sunny morning , in the student center overlooking washington square park , four new york university graduate students wearing brightly colored sheets and sneakers and carrying cellphones gathered for a mission .\nsomewhere out there on the streets of greenwich village , a fellow student was running around in a yellow pac - man suit . his four pursuers , code - named inky , blinky , pinky and clyde , aimed to track him down and snuff him out - - the sooner , the better .\n' ' our strategy is a dragnet to block all the roads pac - man might go down , ' ' said michael olson , a k a clyde the ghost . ' ' you take that street , ' ' he said to pinky , as he pointed to a map of the village . ' ' and i ' ll take this one . ' '\nso began a test run for a game of pac - manhattan , a real - world version of the 1980 ' s video game played on the streets of new york and the latest example of a so - called ' ' big game ' ' : a contest that uses wireless devices like cellphones and global positioning beacons to track players as they move through the urban grid , turning cities into vast game boards . big games , with some players online and others pounding the pavement , have been staged in the last year in minneapolis , las vegas and london .\nfrank lantz , who teaches a class on the subject in n . y . u . ' s interactive telecommunications program and whose students designed pac - manhattan , said the games are a somewhat whimsical response to the convergence of digital and physical space . because millions of people conduct important aspects of their lives , including shopping , banking and communicating , online , professor lantz said , ' ' online spaces are becoming a new form of public space . ' ' at the same time , he said , wireless technologies like cellphones , global positioning systems and personal digital assistants have added a virtual component to the physical world . big games , he said , take place in the overlap between the two . for players , the allure of big games is based on a less theoretical premise : bigger games equal more fun .\n' ' a lot of video games are trying to put you in an environment , ' ' said dennis crowley , 27 , a student in mr . lantz ' s class . ' ' but when you ' re playing pac - manhattan , you are in that environment . you ' re sweating and running around , and you know what it ' s like to actually be in the game . ' '\nin the last year , a london - based group called blast theory has run two big games - - can you see me now ? and uncle roy all around you - - that allowed hundreds of online players to communicate with runners on the ground who were charged with making their way through the city in search of clues . the group plans to bring uncle roy to the united states later this year .\non grade - school campuses in england , a consortium of technologists has been running a game called savannah , in which teams of students simulate the lives of lions - - complete with virtual hunting , scouting for water and forming and dissolving prides - - by communicating with one another over cellphones and computers , the way lions communicate by roaring .\nand perhaps inevitably , corporations are getting in on the act . in two weeks , intel , the computer - chip maker , plans to begin testing a competition tentatively called digital street game in manhattan , in which players claim parts of the city grid by performing outrageous stunts in those areas , then broadcasting them online to voters who rate them . the team that gets the most votes wins control of the segment of the city . michele chang , an intel designer who created the game , said that she hoped it would eventually include hundreds of players , and that intel wanted to use the game to better understand how city dwellers use its wi - fi networks , which give internet access to users of laptops and hand - held computers .\nsteve benford , a professor at the mixed reality laboratory of the university of nottingham in england , who has worked on savannah and uncle roy , said the games thrilled players because unlike regular computer video games , they incorporated physical activity and social interaction , not unlike some reality television programs . the games , he said , also encourage people to push the bounds of accepted behavior . in uncle roy , players on the ground might be directed by online players to look , say , in the saddle bag of a random bicycle or to get in a stranger ' s car , all without knowing if the clue is genuine or a hoax .\n' ' there ' s a real sense of being in a real conspiratorial experience , ' ' mr . benford said .\nin pac - manhattan , players on the streets report their positions via cellphone to team leaders in the kimmel student center . those positions , which are constantly updated , are plotted on a computer screen like the pac - man screen of old , and the result is a sort of slow - motion version of the original . teams in the student center direct the players outside , helping them navigate their way through the streets and avoid danger . the result is a wild , keystone kops - style scramble .\nfrom the new york times . you may opt - out at any time .\nyou agree to receive occasional updates and special offers for the new york times ' s products and services .\nin the recent test run at n . y . u . , megan phalines , a second - year graduate student in the big - game class , was on the phone in the student center with her teammate , mr . crowley , who was playing the role of pac - man . in the classic video version of the game , pac - man accumulates points by gobbling dots in his path . mr . crowley ' s task was to sprint up and down the streets of greenwich village , and as he covered ground he was awarded dots , and points , on the computer display at the kimmel center .\nand just as in the video version of the game , he had to avoid ghosts bent on capturing him .\n' ' you ' ve got a ghost on fifth avenue and washington square park north ! ' ' ms . phalines shouted into the phone , after seeing their positions on her computer screen . mr . crowley changed direction , reporting his positions as he headed east , toward a virtual power pellet , which would allow him to turn on the ghosts and gobble them .\nmr . lantz , on the ghost team , was sitting across the table when the computer showed that mr . crowley had made it safely to the power pellet .\n' ' pac - man is hot ! pac - man is hot ! ' ' he screamed into his phone . ' ' the ghosts should spread out . we have ghost clumping . ' '\nlooking through the kimmel center ' s windows , it was possible to see pac - man sprinting west on waverly place in pursuit of fleeing ghosts , as befuddled pedestrians looked on .\nmr . lantz said he and his students were particularly interested in the way the game and the city interact . pac - man is free , for example , to try to shed ghosts by running through traffic . and there ' s nothing to prevent the ghosts , say , from asking passers - by , ' ' excuse me , have you seen pac - man ? ' ' the result is a kind of tableau of digital convergence with the physical world , in which humans are game pieces that are monitored and guided over digital networks .\nthe goal of the preliminary run was to tweak the game to make it more competitive , with an eye toward providing a template for others outside the class to design their own versions of the game . in the trial , the ghosts ' team couldn ' t see pac - man on their computer screens , but pac - man could see the ghosts .\nthe goal , mr . lantz said , was to give an edge to pac - man and to ' ' pit the wily individual against the moronic masses , ' ' which the class figures is an even match . the students had hoped to use global positioning systems to track players through the streets , but resorted to cellphones when they found that satellite signals necessary for the positioning systems were affected by tall buildings .\npac - man continued gobbling dots and sprinting back and forth across the village , but things turned grim about an hour into the game , when he headed south and took a right on waverly place .\n' ' we ' ve spotted pac - man , ' ' mr . lantz shouted . ' ' don ' t clump . let ' s close in . ' '\nanyone who has ever played the video game would understand the panic that set in next on the pac - man team , as the ghosts closed off all escape routes and herded pac - man into an area directly north of the park on fifth avenue . but in contrast to the video game , there was no joystick to thrash in frustration . ms . phalines could only watch helplessly from the window as pac - man went through his last desperate throes . moments later the ghost team was high - fiving :\nwe\u2019re interested in your feedback on this page . tell us what you think .\naccessibility concerns ? email us at accessibility @ urltoken . we would love to hear from you .\nutilizamos cookies propias y de terceros para mejorar nuestra web mediante el an\u00e1lisis de tu navegaci\u00f3n en nuestro sitio . si continuas navegando , consideraremos que aceptas su uso . para m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n , consulta nuestra pol\u00edtica de cookies .\na must - attend event for those looking to understand the reach of the gaming medium . conference topics include new platforms and game formats , esports and live events , player creativity and new media content , virtual worlds and economies , social and cultural impact , interactive storytelling , distributed and ubiquitous gaming , ai , mixed realities and out - of - home entertainment , games learning , etoys , etc .\njust like city of barcelona , the great moment i spent at the event was filled with passion , friendliness and inquisitiveness .\nwe\u2019ve recently updated our privacy policy and cookie policy to address the new privacy laws in europe .\nwe ' ve detected that javascript is disabled in your browser . would you like to proceed to legacy twitter ?\nuegos / videojuego - espana - estudios - luchan - industria _ 0 _ 788472039 . html\ninteresante debate acerca de la industria profesional del desarrollo del videojuego de espa\u00f1a con representantes de @ dev _ es , @ videojuegosaevi y devicat y empresas del sector . # gamelab2018 urltoken\ntwitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup . try again or visit twitter status for more information .\nyou can add location information to your tweets , such as your city or precise location , from the web and via third - party applications . you always have the option to delete your tweet location history . learn more\nhere ' s the url for this tweet . copy it to easily share with friends .\nby embedding twitter content in your website or app , you are agreeing to the twitter developer agreement and developer policy .\nnot on twitter ? sign up , tune into the things you care about , and get updates as they happen .\nthis timeline is where you\u2019ll spend most of your time , getting instant updates about what matters to you .\nhover over the profile pic and click the following button to unfollow any account .\nwhen you see a tweet you love , tap the heart \u2014 it lets the person who wrote it know you shared the love .\nthe fastest way to share someone else\u2019s tweet with your followers is with a retweet . tap the icon to send it instantly .\nadd your thoughts about any tweet with a reply . find a topic you\u2019re passionate about , and jump right in .\ncopyright \u00a9 2011 - 2018 rezzly education technologies , llc . all rights reserved .\nwe believe that the need for new scientific and educational games is tremendous , so we are building them .\nturn your browser into the ultimate tool to access and manage your herd from anywhere in the world .\neasy - to - use interface with a neatly organised design . unique profile for each animal with all documentation , notes , medical information , horn measurements and pictures stored in one place .\nlink animals on the system as you add them , and experience the automated reports generated for each individual animal . analyse and compare performance , reproduction and pedigree and make powerful decisions with information that unfolds in real time .\nenjoy our easy to use , secure interface and invite multiple users with different permission levels to help manage your farm and animal profiles . see all the changes they make in real time thanks to powerful back - end technology and automated email notifications .\ninformation is value . unlock the full potential of your herd with our dna analysis , pedigree verification and photo horn measurement services . get the information that counts with results automatically imported into each animal\u2019s profile .\nthe best wildlife management system by a country mile !

oasis - broke up , jobs were hard to come by , the rock press got tricked into thinking \u201clo - fi\u201d automatically equaled \u201cgood\u201d , michael jackson\u2019s overdose transformed him from \u201cjacko the tabloid joke\u201d to \u201cmj \u2013 demi - god\u201d in the eyes of millions of mindless idiot consumers , crabcore swept through the bible - belt like a brushfire , sky saxon of the seeds died and gas prices shot up higher than anything nasa has ever put their name on . however , hard times are usually fodder for great art and 2009 churned out more bueno records than any year in recent memory . in fact , the quantity of rad music we were turned onto this year was so large that we were forced to expand buddyhead\u2019s \u201csometimes - annual\u201d best & worst records of the year to 30 records . we also felt slightly guilty for that three year vacation ( * cough * bender * cough * ) we took from all of this . hey man , we got our priorities mixed up ! what did you expect from buddyhead ? get real !\nwe were really young and bored , yet excited about everything happening around us . we didn ' t really plan to start buddyhead , it just kind of happened and we went with it . if we would have meant to start this , i ' m pretty sure we would have put more thought into the name of it . maybe a bit more into the plan as well . i don ' t know if it translates or makes sense but buddyhead just happened . . .\nty segall\u2019s self - titled debut that was released at the end of 2008 on castle face records is fuckin\u2019 great . but his sophomore record , lemons , that showed up via goner records ( which is run by a dude in the oblivians\u2019 who isn\u2019t greg cartwright , eric friedl ) a few months later is even better ! san fran\u2019s one - man - band comes out hard , heavy and poppy at the same time . this record sounds like it was recorded entirely in a bathroom plus it\u2019s got a captain beefheart cover off \u201csafe as milk\u201d on it , bonus points !\nthere aren ' t too many roadblocks in getting an album released aside from getting the money to do so . there are way more roadblocks in getting people to actually care about music and buy the album once you do release it . what do you perceive is the reputation of buddyhead ?\nwe couldn\u2019t pick between these two records featuring king khan plus you know how fuckin\u2019 lazy we are ! so here are two records with our favorite james brown impersonator , king khan , the first being \u201cinvisible girl\u201d . it\u2019s the third album from this \u201cshrine - less\u201d king khan & bbq duo and it looks like they\u2019ve finally perfected their songwriting formula , either that or third time is a charm , cuz this record is solid ! \u201canimal party\u201d is the best , not to mention cheapest , babysitter in the world , fact ! put that song on repeat and watch any child discover his new favorite song . the king khan & bbq show + cole alexander , jared swiley , ian saint p\u00e9 , and joe bradley from the black lips = the almighty defenders . an \u2018evil gospel\u2019 supergroup album recorded during an off - week between tours in berlin for both bands . squeezed out in a drunken week , this collection of party tunes is almost better than either bands\u2019 real studio records cuz it captures the feeling of seeing these hillbillies live . \u201cwhat do you mean there\u2019s a party going on tonight ? \u201d\nthat would depend and vary greatly on who you ask . i don ' t really care what people perceive what we do as to be honest . buddyhead has been known for playing pranks from publishing cell phone numbers of various people in the music industry and releasing prank calls on comps being among the tamer things . any regrets ?\nthis lp originally came out in 2007 in the rest of the world , but didn\u2019t see the light of day here in the states till this year . technically it\u2019s not a new release but let\u2019s face facts , until a record comes out in america it\u2019s not really out . you can thank the fine folks at goner records for making sure that we were able to hear the debut from these aussie badasses . this lp will smash you over the head with stooges - like - swagger mixed with some kind of arty twist while leaving all the pretentious bullshit behind them . grab your cup of coffee and blast \u201cget up morning\u201d to get your day started right ! also make sure to pick up \u201cprimary colors\u201d and whatever their other records are called .\nbuddyhead has been an la institution of sorts since it launched in 1998 by travis keller and aaron north . after two years they got into the record label business and have put out releases by the icarus line , your enemies friends , shat , radio vago , modwheelmood , the dillinger escape plan , gayrilla biscuits , 400 blows and many more .\nwe here at buddyhead have been fans of digital leather since the very beginning , when it was mainly a punk synth fling from the lone shawn foree . on this new lp they\u2019ve really stepped up their game . it\u2019s hands down the best offering thus far in their career . this time around that little studio project has become a full on band , includes way more guitar and they get bonus points cuz the title is a reference to a nazi gay joke ! there also seems to be a bit more focus on the writing cuz songs are all top notch and the lyrics are solid . in another time and place tony wilson would have been begging these fuckers to sign up on factory records . \u201ckisses\u201d gets my vote for song of the year !\nnot our favorite jarvis moment by any means ( in fact travis gave it a bad review ) , but this steve albini - produced sophomore solo effort has grown on us . this ain\u2019t no pulp record for sure , but jarvis comes off randier - than - ever with angela and other tales of shagging . jarvis is so well dressed that he somehow makes even his mediocre records seem stylishly great .\nlazy music journalists tried to act like these nerds armed with bongos and delay pedals were the second coming of the beatles or some shit . everyone from mojo to rolling stone to pitchdork seemed to have these fruitcakes somewhere in their top five records for 2009 . these dudes couldn\u2019t write a song if their lives depended on it , they are to songwriting what \u201calvin and the chipmunks : the squeakquel\u201d is to cinema .\nthis two - disc , twenty - four song collection is the fifth studio album from t . s . o . o . l . these nordic weirdos have been cranking out killer records that don\u2019t sound like abba and aren\u2019t death metal for close to a decade now from their little scandinavian country of sweden . in case you didn\u2019t know , that\u2019s where ikea is from . chances are your apartment looks exactly like these dudes\u2019 apartments .\nwe ' re also in the process of\nrelaunching\nthe site and going back to doing monthly issues like we did in the old days . i ' m pretty excited that we have a\nstaff\nagain and they ' re people we are really creative , motivated and prolific . it ' s nice to be pleasantly surprised by people turning in really rad articles or videos . after the site somewhat just being me for the past few years , it ' s a nice change to have some outside input and help from others . it feels like the old days of buddyhead except instead of being 20 - something and pissed off at the world , we are 30 - something and life isn ' t all that bad . buddyhead with positive mental attitude but we still wanna entertain and make ourselves laugh .\ni\u2019ll tell you what i\u2019m doin ! throwing this turd like a frisbee across the room . hey girls ! just because something is recorded in a lo - fi manner doesn\u2019t make it good . you have to have some songs in there somewhere . but good for you ! you fooled quite a few people into thinking that this is some good girl punk scronk . we at buddyhead are not taking the bait . whatever happened to huggybear ?\np . s . though you are on our \u201cworst of\u201d list , the news isn\u2019t all bad . buddyhead would like to thank you for releasing a record that has 2000 different covers featuring the faces of your fans ( as mentioned above ) . now we have amounts to the rock music equivalent of a sex offender registry so we know the faces of people we need to be suspicious of and avoid in our community . valuable public service dudes !\nwith these dudes making noise like this there may actually be some kind of reason to go to nebraska other than having to pass through it on the way to somewhere else . oh wait , that\u2019s why bands go on tour ! three dudes including an off the hook drummer that kind of resembles a goblin who plays both keyboards and drums at the same time in the vein of animal from the muppets . sounds goofy but box elders have seriously made one of the best pop records of the year .\neither way and in the meantime , i ' d like to welcome you all to buddyhead ' s\nsometimes - annual\nbest ( & worst ) records of the year . can we all agree that this was about the worst decade ever ? let ' s tally the score here . . . . everyone was broke , the best rock n ' roll band in the world - - oasis - - broke up , jobs were hard to come by , the rock press got tricked into thinking\nlo - fi\nautomatically equaled\ngood ,\nmichael jackson ' s overdose transformed him from\njacko the tabloid joke\nto\nmj - demi - god\nin the eyes of millions of mindless idiot consumers , crabcore swept through the bible - belt like a brushfire , sky saxon of the seeds died and gas prices shot up higher than anything nasa has ever put their name on . however , hard times are usually fodder for great art and 2009 churned out more bueno records than any year in recent memory . in fact , the quantity of rad music we were turned onto this year was so large , plus we also felt slightly guilty for that three year vacation ( * cough * bender * cough * ) we took from delivering all of you our\npicks\n( &\nicks\n) , that we were forced to balloon this years list to 30 good ones and 30 bad ones . everyone ' s got rules , here are ours . . .\nbut fear not , because buddyhead is back and \u201cfor the children\u201d now more than ever . now that odb is dead and gone , we\u2019ll be picking up his slack . we don\u2019t walk , we get carried . and you\u2019ve got our word that we\u2019ll not be taking any breaks ( that are too long ) from now on . hell who knows , maybe we\u2019ll even back - track and play ketchup with 2006 , 2007 and 2008 best / worst lists . hey , maybe axl rose will grow his hair back too . either way , we\u2019re not going anywhere . so , unless some creepy - psycho rolls up with a copy of catcher in the rye and pulls a mark david chapman on us , we plan on sticking with this whole buddyhead thing . we love doing this and , let\u2019s be honest , at this point , it\u2019s really all we know how to do , unless you wanna count pumping gas\u2026but that doesn\u2019t really make our lady - friends wanna play \u201chide the pickle\u201d with us . shit , doubt we\u2019d even get a game of \u201cjust the tip\u201d going if it wasn\u2019t for this . plus , from our point of view it seems safe to declare that we have entered buddyhead\u2019s most productive year ever with our weekly ( or at worst monthly ) gossip updates and ever expanding staff in 2009 , so the chances of this ego - masteurbation - rant coming true are actually pretty good .\nfrom the very beginning the almighty ink & dagger have chosen to create their own environment rather than play by the stale and comfortable rules set up by everyone else , even if it meant making a few enemies along the way . they began their dark and essential journey with the now infamous , highly collectable , tomb stone shaped , hand numbered in blood , and highly sought after \u201clove is dead\u201d e . p . on philadelphia\u2019s now defunct happy days records . from there the bloodthirsty night stalkers called for a change in the conventional state of punk with the release of the 7\u201d and cd titled \u201cdrive this 7\u201d wooden stake through my philadelphia heart\u201d on initial records . giving words new meaning as they created the new vampires , craving not blood but energy ( and of course always creating their fair share of mischief along the way ) . multiple trips across the states and a european stint with sweden\u2019s premier \u201cnew noise\u201d outfit refused , brought their explosive stage show complete with bright flashing lights , malevolent red floods , white painted faces , the occasional red food coloring blood baths and waves of thunderous music to the eager hearts and minds of rebellious youths everywhere .\nwhether this band , sexed your girlfriend , stole shit from your house , inspired you , or pissed on everything dear to you , the name ink & dagger alone will continue to provoke some sort of reaction for years to come . \u201cink & dagger\u201d is undoubtedly destined to be a classic and stand the test of time . in the end , the bullshit will wither away and the music will endure as the only thing that really matters . perhaps the only thing you hate more than ink & dagger is buddyhead , so how appropriate is it that both camps are teaming up for this release ?\nthis is what it sounds like when not a single person has said to a musician \u201cdude , this is a really bad idea\u201d for about 5 years . yeah , we know some of the dozen or so records we\u2019ve listed above came out before 2009 , but since apparently omar and the yes men that make up his circle of musician friends seem to never stop recording every single retarded idea they have , this shit comes off like one long , self - indulgent stroke session that doesn\u2019t have an end . therefore , we think it\u2019s as valid to tell you all of this sucks in 2009 as any other time . omar , muchacho , seriously , it\u2019s break time . now hit the showers .\njudging by the sound of this album , these dudes have listened to some good records and done some good drugs in their lives . this record sounds like what happens when 3 dudes are prescribed lsd for their a . d . d . we wouldn\u2019t say something called \u201csongwriting\u201d was in the front of these dudes\u2019 minds when they got together to write \u201cfits\u201d , but a strong sense of how to keep things musically interesting and have a good time while doing it was definitely present\u2026plus the singer of this band just so happens to be the son of former major league baseball catcher geno petralli who caught nolan ryan\u2019s 300th career win in 1990 ! yeah , we just knew that off the top of our heads .\nsomewhat the same way the site did - accidentally . aaron ' s band at the time , the icarus line , had an extra song laying around , and we were putting on a valentine ' s day show at the smell in downtown la ( which was actually the first show ever booked there ) . so we pressed the song on a one sided pink seven inch . the first 214 people that entered the show got a copy of the seven inch for free . get it ? 2 / 14 . after that , a few friends of ours that were in bands asked us to release their records . next thing we know , we have a\nrecord label\nand we ' re signing bands .\nwhen i first moved to la my friend scott told me i could\nget paid to play records in bars\nand i ' d\nget chicks doing it too\n. he was right . plus , i can ' t ever find places i like to go out to cuz the music always sucks . who do i gotta pay to hear some rock n ' roll out in this town ? so i guess it ' s creating a place i ' d like to hang out as well . not to mention how rad making people listen to what you want to really loud through a pa is . basically it ' s fun , they pay you and you can get your friends drunk for free .\nyou\u2019ll probably notice that this collection of albums is pretty different than every other year - end out there , which might as well all be a single list considering how many of the same bands appear . excellent use of the \u201ccopy and paste\u201d functions american music press , you guys really provide a valuable service ! can\u2019t believe you actually get paid to write about music , it\u2019s a crime we tell ya ! please note : we here at buddyhead stick with what we know , so you won\u2019t find us inserting our white - cracker feet in our mouths over who\u2019s the best rapper or giving a flying fuck about dj culture like who\u2019s the best re - mixer like spin , rolling stone and \u201cthe blogs\u201d are trying to these days . we\u2019d rather review potato chips folks . that said , you\u2019ll find that the rock bands on this list have little in common with each other , stylistically or otherwise . also , we\u2019re not ranking any of these records , because let\u2019s be honest , that\u2019s fucking retarded ! this isn\u2019t college basketball , this is rock n\u2019 roll . like we\u2019ve said before , how could you possibly decide between shat and radiohead , and which of them contributed the greatest album of the year ? that\u2019s apples and oranges my good friends , the universe needs both opposing energies to keep balance and remain in perfect harmony . it\u2019s science , look that shit up !\nlike we said , we\u2019re not ranking these records . however , if you held a gun to our heads and asked us to tell you what the worst record of 2009 is , we\u2019d probably tell you it was brokencyde\u2019s album \u201ci\u2019m not a fan but the kids like it\u201d . that\u2019s a pretty bold statement considering we also had attack attack ! , marilyn manson , puddle of mudd , and insane clown posse records come out in \u201809 and even a creed reunion record to contend with this year . seriously though people , this shit crosses every musical line that we\u2019re aware of , draws another line , crosses that and then molests a puppy on the other side . this band\u2019s terrorism - justifying sound is an amalgam of every terrible thing that\u2019s happened in music since the late 90\u2019s : misspelled band name a la nu - metal ? check . emo singing paired up with some subhuman screaming in the background in the vein of shitty emocore ? double check . auto - tuned vocals that would be right at home on a t . pain song ? yep . geometry haircuts with retarded colors and graffiti - themed clothing that every metalcore band on the cover of alternative press seems to be sporting these days ? done and done . add a dash of the lamest hip - hop / crunk beats imaginable and a pinch of pro date - rape lyrics and you\u2019ve got what might be the worst record of the year and possibly even the worst record we\u2019ve ever heard .\nmonsters of suck is more like it . if you\u2019ve ever read buddyhead , you know we\u2019re somewhat less than pro - conor oberst , so that douche nozzle\u2019s involvement + the ego trip of a band name is two strikes against this record before we even put it in the stereo . however , we\u2019ve backed jim james\u2019 main gig \u201cmy morning jacket\u201d before so there was some hope that this album might contain a song or two on it we could get psyched about . that bet turned out to be about as solid as a taco bell dinner on the way out . spend your money on that aa bondy record instead of this collection of songs that are white as bird shit .\nthis dude is better at the whole \u201cjust me and a guitar\u201d thing than anybody else right now , hands down ! aa bondy runs circles around pretty much everyone in the song writing department plus the dude has a black belt in fingerpicking and playing harmonica . in fact , he sounds best when it\u2019s just him , his guitar + a harmonica . that\u2019s why it was kind of a bummer he recorded this second album with a full band . it\u2019s still a great record full of great songs though \u2013 duh we put it on the best records of the year list \u2013 but we can\u2019t help but think they would have sounded better if they were recorded in the same vein as his sparse and stripped down debut , \u201camerican hearts\u201d . at least he hasn\u2019t gotten into world music yet .\nthe existence of a fourth puddle of mudd record is kinda like if the nazis won world war ii and then world wars iii , iv and v . we\u2019re not really sure who they are or just how it happens , but people actually buy these records and these posers don\u2019t have to get real jobs . all because the idiots in puddle of mudd speak directly to the ( mongoloids , err ) people of wal - mart . seriously the singer dork wes scantlin or whatever his name is must be the \u201credneck whisperer\u201d or some shit cause there is no other explanation as to how we\u2019re still talking about this fossil from the nu - metal era in 2009 . check out their video for \u201cspaceship\u201d - the fact that these dudes have fans blowing their hair back throughout and aren\u2019t joking says it all .\nkeller can now be seen around town djing at various bars in the area . he just finished a stint at bar lubitsch in west hollywood on tuesday nights where these pictures were taken . every thursday nights he will be at bar chloe spinning with ian rogers of top spin media , and on july 9 and july 16 he will be at the tropicana bar at the roosevelt hotel with josh homme from queens of the stone age , dave catching from eagles of death metal and buddyhead ' s troy boy . if you like jesus and mary chain , tones on tail , pulp , blur , oasis , guns ' n roses , yeah yeah yeahs , etc . , you will make like zombies to groove and dance out .\nfrom the time we wake up til the time we go to sleep we ' re working on our art or something that relates to it . and we barely sleep . jubilee has been lucky enough to be the first band involved with the topspin software which is backed by the guy who invented pro tools . basically it allows bands and artists to sell their own music , video and photography on their own site , for whatever price they choice , without a middleman and it boasts a digital subscription fan club . it ' s a whole lot more than that and it has been the reason we ' ve been able to keep the lights on over here at buddyhead . what are some of the roadblocks in getting an album released ?\nbefore anyone gets bummed that all i ' ve done so far in my two posts here is yank my own chain and link back to my wildly funny yet highly misunderstood website , i would like to point out that this is what i was told to do when the huffington post ' s la editor , billy silverman , hired me . so deal with it . if you take into consideration that the last job billy and i had our bosses forced him to dress up like a french burglars , a japanese chef , a banana , a soldier and even a clown cop , billy has really moved up in the world . that makes me proud , i really do hope that one day i move up the food chain from having to assemble lists of records people should and shouldn ' t listen to in my underwear .\nas usual , we\u2019ve also included a \u201cworst of\u201d list for you . now don\u2019t start talking all that shit about how the dudes at buddyhead are negative , like to bum people out and are all around downer people ! not so ! we\u2019re just doing like nardwuar the human serviette , we\u2019re here to serve the youth . go ahead and use this list of terrible albums as what we\u2019d like to call a \u201ccompass of evil\u201d . think of it as a guide for today\u2019s children to point them in the right direction and steer them clear from audio molestation . just like it\u2019s important to study all of the world\u2019s wars so that we don\u2019t make the same mistakes , these albums and artists should be studied so that their musical atrocities will never be committed again .\nbefore you guys start whining in the comments about how this record came out two years ago and shouldn\u2019t technically qualify for our worst records of 2009 list , let us remind you that it took axl rose and a laundry list of retards 13 years to record and release this mind - blowingly embarrassing legacy annihilator of an album . plus , if you thought that a guy with a giant yellow bee - foot guitar and a dude with a kfc chicken bucket on his head being in guns n\u2019 roses was fucking mortifying , then check out the newest and by far the douchiest \u201cnot - slash\u201d toolbox that\u2019s on axl\u2019s payroll in the video below . why is it that older rockers always think dudes who look like they are cast - members of mtv\u2019s \u201cjersey shore\u201d are actually hip young dudes that are perfect for their rock band ? ten bucks says that this douchebag , dj ashba , ends up on urltoken in the near future .\nwe love us some greg cartwright around here , we\u2019re og cartwright . believe it . in fact we\u2019ve been down with this dude since back in 1995 when joel floated travis promo copies of \u201csoul food\u201d from the oblivians that he got from the record store he worked at in northern idaho . old school . here with \u201clove and curses\u201d the old dogs once again show all the young pups how it\u2019s done . although this sure as hell isn\u2019t as good as it\u2019s predecessors , \u201ctime bomb high school\u201d or \u201ctoo much guitar\u201d , this new batch of greg cartwright songs is only further proof that his songwriting is unfuckwithable ! hey greg , we heard you\u2019re a trust fund kid who loves to drop cheddar on music and all things rock n\u2019 roll ! ? well hey there kemosabi , ain\u2019t nothing more rock n\u2019 roll than buddyhead\u2026 can we call you daddy ?\nthis dude is better at the whole \u201cjust me and a guitar\u201d thing than anybody else right now , hands down ! aa bondy runs circles around pretty much everyone in the song writing department plus the dude has a black belt in fingerpicking and playing harmonica . in fact , he sounds best when it\u2019s just him , his guitar + a harmonica . that\u2019s why it was kind of a bummer he recorded this second album with a full band . it\u2019s still a great record full of great songs though \u2013 duh , we put it on the best records of the year list \u2013 but we can\u2019t help but think they would have sounded better if they were recorded in the same vein as his sparse and stripped down debut , \u201camerican hearts . \u201d at least he hasn\u2019t gotten into world music yet . bonus trivia : this dude doesn\u2019t like how much waste hotels create so he sleeps in his car on tour . how weird and rad is that ?\nfor a place that\u2019s mostly known for it\u2019s lack of good food , plethora of bad teeth , lack of showers and negative sunny days , england sure knows how to rock . these lads that wear their mancunian influences on their sleeve proudly are a prime example of modern rock n\u2019 roll done right . sure these dudes sound a lot like the stone roses , happy mondays , oasis and the rest of the creation records catalog all rolled into one but that\u2019s pretty fookin\u2019 cool if you ask us . plus with this dan the automator - produced third full length not only have these dudes hit their stride but they\u2019ve proved they know how to write some fookin\u2019 catchy songs and still retain a raw and danceable sound that\u2019s all their own . in the uk \u201cwest ryder pauper lunatic asylum\u201d was number # 1 on the charts for several weeks , only to be knocked off by the sharp increase in sales of michael jackson albums following his overdose . speaking of , let\u2019s party michael jackson style ! who\u2019s got the propofol , lorazepam and midazolam ?\nmuch like drinking and driving or buddyhead and spell check , acting and rocking don\u2019t mix . this has been proven time and time again ( see the juliette lewis record above for one example ) , but somehow these drama queers keep thinking they can play the part of the rock star . many have done it in the past , but very few have done attempted the crossover in such an over - the - top - hilarious fashion as the dork who played claire daines\u2019 love interest in \u201cmy so called life\u201d . we\u2019re not even gonna print his name cause , considering he has made at least 3 music videos ( aka gigantic visual blowjobs to himself ) that have opening and closing credits ( ! ) in the last few years , this dude\u2019s ego is already so mammoth , one more typing of it just might cause him to attempt giving himself head so fast and furious his neck will snap . we don\u2019t want to get sued or nothing . unfortunately , in 2009 this pretty boy , his brother who looks like him if he were a caveman , and what ever other dorks fill out the line up of 30 minutes in uranus put out the record \u201cthis is war\u201d . you guys must have been hanging out with muse or something , cause you just joined them in the self - nuking club this year . this is war you turds , so if you want peace , drop the guitars and just start being an overpaid hollywood actor and his posse of mooches . it\u2019ll be like that show entourage except there will be way less getting laid inolved . leave the music making to the musicians . kosher ?\nwe are updating our terms of service , privacy policy , and cookie and internet advertising policy effective may 25 , 2018 ! you can preview the new version and see details about the updates here .\nhello ! we have selected english as your language preference . if you would like to browse in a different language , please choose a language using the dropdown . deutsch english espa\u00f1ol fran\u00e7ais italiano \u65e5\u672c\u8a9e\ntap here to turn on desktop notifications to get the news sent straight to you .\nfirst -

rock band who take the best from old blues and county music , then shove their take on it through a modern psychedelic fuzz . the word on the street is that these dudes have already recorded their second album \u201cbe brave\u201d in costa mesa with their sometime member \u201cwhen he has time\u201d , tim presely from darker my love . our favorite song on this lp is \u201cheard you wanna beat me up\u201d . check it out .\nthis debut is technically only an ep but it\u2019s so damn good ( plus we heard so few people talking about this band ) that we\u2019re putting this fucker on here anyways . sue us . instantly like - able and totally sugar sweet dreamy danceable pop songs sprinkled with dirty guitars . think the jesus and mary chain \u201choney\u2019s dead\u201d era guitar tones . this transient couple / band who cite both los angeles , ca and nashville , tn as their home , are currently holed up in a san franciscan studio banging out their first full length that should have you dancing your ass off sometime in 2010 . we can\u2019t fuckin\u2019 wait !\nflorida totally fucking sucks . sorry if you live there ( really , we are ) , but it\u2019s neck - n - neck with texass as the worst state in the union . and musically , not a whole lot of good shit has come out of the state where midwestern fuckheads go to die and bake in the sun . in fact , most of their musical contributions can be counted on one hand . let\u2019s see\u2026 home to crocodiles , hurricanes that wipe out thousands of houses and swamps full of snakes\u2026 sounds like a party but i think we\u2019ll stay over here in the sunshine state of california . but we\u2019ve gotta acknowledge that florida has given us tom petty , 2 live crew and now on a third finger\u2026 . straight outta miami\u2026 we\u2019ve got three youngster weirdos known as the jacuzzi boys who are takin - names , kickin - ass and makin - hits ! this pupil - dilatingly nugget - influenced trio cut their teeth with a string of badass seven - inch releases full of fuzz ( \u201ci fought a crocodile\u201d , split with woven bones , \u201cghost ghost\u201d and our favorite \u201cisland ave\u201d ep ) , bad acid , and animal references . we\u2019re pretty sure that almost every song is about an animal . and now , with \u201cno seasons\u201d , they have outdone themselves ( and their contemporaries , the black lips ) with this epic party - starter full length . to quote fellow miami resident , godfather of punkrock and jacuzzi boys fan , mr . james newell osterberg , jr . ( aka iggy pop ) : \u201cthere\u2019s a band here in miami called the jacuzzi boys . it\u2019s a stupid name but they\u2019ve got a good spirit . shout out to the jacuzzi boys ! \u201d good work fellas , a firm slap on the ass to you .\ntechnically a reissue seeing as how it was recorded in 1974 but didn\u2019t come out til 2009 . and technically this record is just too bad ass to follow any rules anyways so it makes this list despite what we said in the intro . death is the three hackney brothers who were the inspiration to bad brains . they were fueled by their detroit brothers in the stooges and mc5 . these dudes were ahead of their time . 35 years ahead of their time to be exact .\nspeaking of weird , this dude is the king . the beautiful album that almost wasn\u2019t by the dude that\u2019s so weird he doesn\u2019t even need drugs . after an accidental leak halfway through recording , deerhunter frontman brad cox almost stopped recording the awesome mindfuck that is logos . we\u2019re glad he pulled it together , grew a pair and finished this thing cuz it rules the school .\ni guess if you never brush your teeth , you really can get a lot more done , cause here\u2019s another brit band on our best of ! when the red coats in future of the left put out \u201ccurses\u201d in \u201907 , they simultaneously reminded us of all the reasons that mclusky was a great band and showed us they had some new tricks up their sleeves . with \u201ctravels with myself and another\u201d , andy falkous and co . prove that this project might just be superior to mclusky . armed with the 12 killer tunes that just might be the most perfect embodiment of snotty british ( or in this case , welsh ) melodic punk rock since wire\u2019s late 70\u2019s heyday , fotl makes a relatively old tradition sound fresh and vital . able to shift from aggressively in your face to anthemic on a dime , these teachuggers find a balance on this record that will ensure its classic status for years to come . there are very few bands out there that are writing songs this well - constructed and instantly memorable and there are no bands out there that sound this fucking punk while doing it . take notes kids , this band has being rad down to a science .\nwhen you get to be an old dude , it\u2019s easy to lose things . for example , the dirty old men in chicago\u2019s tortoise lost their balls for a while a few years ago when they put out \u201cit\u2019s all around you\u201d , which was like audio - anesthesia . fortunately , they rediscovered them , squirted a litttle fixadent on there and shoved\u2019em back in their pants cause \u201cbeacons of ancestorship\u201d flirts with levels of rocking - ness these dudes have rarely , if ever approached in the past . listen to \u201cprepare your coffin\u201d and tell us you don\u2019t get a little amped . don\u2019t get too jazzed , cause \u201cmillions now living will never die\u201d this record ain\u2019t , but the amazing songwriting and talent for development is still there and tortoise still dwarfs pretty much every other instrumental band we\u2019ve ever heard . however , this record still doesn\u2019t make us want to visit chicago ."]}

( see ridley 2004 for an extended critique of taking the concept of \u201cpure\u201d music as central to musical aesthetics . ) the other dimension to most solutions of the puzzle of pure music\u2019s value is the extent to which one thinks the abstractness of music is the source of its value . thus , two theorists might agree on the extent to which music is related to the real world ( by being expressive , say ) , yet one locate its primary value in that expressiveness while the other locates it in its abstract , purely formal features .\ncg reggae isn ' t world music . if you have the box already , it doesn ' t need to clutter up the world - music box . there is a finite amount of space in here . it ' s the same with folk . eliza carthy has the folk awards ;

the first cd the store offered , in 1994 , was by kenny g . but it ' s worth remembering that not too long ago , starbucks was seen as a record - industry rebel , and the effective shuttering of its retail - music arm suggests that one vision for the future of music is dead .\ni owe a big thank you to a very loyal reader of this blog who sent me all of her ( or his ? ) photos for this article . this person doesn\u2019t comment on the blog , but i have exchanged enough emails with her to know that she is powerfully passionate about starbucks , and more knowledgeable than i . the information in this blog doesn\u2019t quite match the wikipedia article on hear music , but i trust my source . all of the photos are courtesy of this anonymous reader .\ndavies , stephen , 1987 , \u201cthe evaluation of music\u201d , in alperson 1987 : 305\u2013325 . reprinted in s . davies 2003 : 195\u2013212 .\ngracyk , theodore & andrew kania ( eds . ) , 2011 , the routledge companion to philosophy and music , new york : routledge .\n\u2013\u2013\u2013 , 2005 , deeper than reason : emotion and its role in literature , music , and art , oxford : oxford university press .\nsmith , jeff , 1996 , \u201cunheard melodies ? a critique of psychoanalytic theories of film music\u201d , in bordwell & carroll 1996 : 230\u201347 .\njuan pablo reinvented and relaunched the mindtrip imprint , showcasing the full degree of his sound . the label changed its name from mindtrip music to\nso . . . let ' s begin . . . my 10 tips to\nmake it\nin the music industry . . .\nget about 10 , 000 visits and 200 music submissions a day . how are you supposed to make your email to them stand out ?\nsubscribe to the all - new rolling stone ! everything you need to know from the authority on music , entertainment , politics and pop culture .\ngoehr , lydia , 1992 , the imaginary museum of musical works : an essay in the philosophy of music , oxford : oxford university press .\nstock , kathleen ( ed . ) , 2007 , philosophers on music : experience , meaning , and work , oxford : oxford university press .\ncg my reservation about the term\nworld music\nhas always been that all the great terms - like jazz , reggae , rock ' n ' roll - sound musical . they come up in songs . nobody is ever going to have a song title with that phrase\nworld music\nin it . if you took the word\nmusic\naway , and just called it\nworld\n, that would be better .\none might simply deny that we respond emotionally to music . r . a . sharpe ( 2000 : 1\u201383 ) , while stopping short of outright denial , suggests that our emotional responses to music are a much smaller component of our understanding experience of it than the philosophical literature on the topic would suggest ( see also zangwill 2004 ) . peter kivy ( 1999 ) goes almost all the way , arguing that those who report emotional reactions to music are confusing the pleasure they take in the beauty of the music , in all its expressive individuality , with the feeling of the emotion expressed .\nin classical music : as with han and leia\u2019s theme , a direct comparison in the canon isn\u2019t easily apparent . but mr . williams\u2019s score here does recall the music of prokofiev . listen , for example , to this moment from the ballet \u201cromeo and juliet\u201d ;

( see lerdahl & jackendoff 1983 for a theory along the latter lines . ) however , although deryck cooke ( 1959 ) and leonard meyer ( 1956 ) are often cited as proponents , it is not clear that anyone holds a full - blown version of the theory . the central problem is the great disparities between language and music , in terms of the ways in which each is both syntactic and semantic ( jackendoff 2011 ) . a serious subsidiary problem is that even if music were about the emotions in the way that language can be , that would not account for music\u2019s expressiveness . the sentence \u201ci am sad\u201d is about the emotions , but it is not expressive of sadness in the way a sad face is , though i could use either to express my sadness . most people agree that music\u2019s relation to emotion is more like that of a sad face than that of a sentence . ( this last criticism is also applicable to susanne langer\u2019s theory ( 1953 ) that music is about the emotions in a symbolic yet non - linguistic way . )\nwho are you most excited for the audience to hear ? it\u2019s all exciting to me because of just how well everything works together and how great the episodes are . we have a couple featured uses so far from the new sza album , which are really well - tied into our story line even though her album was written separately from the show , but it really speaks to a lot of the story lines that we have going this season .\nfor me , the great thing is the commitment and the passion and the love of music , which as an artist is good to see ,\nhe said .\n\u2013\u2013\u2013 , 1998 , the quest for voice : on music , politics , and the limits of philosophy : the 1997 ernest bloch lectures , oxford : oxford university press .\ngoldman , alan , 1992 , \u201cthe value of music\u201d , journal of aesthetics and art criticism , 50 ( 1 ) : 35\u201344 . doi : 10 . 2307 / 431065\n\u2013\u2013\u2013 , 2007 , listening to popular music : or , how i learned to stop worrying and love led zeppelin , ann arbor , mi : university of michigan press .\nscruton , roger , 1983 , \u201cunderstanding music\u201d , in the aesthetic understanding : essays in the philosophy of art and culture , manchester : carcanet press , pp . 77\u2013100 .\nnewly formed record label from starbucks entertainment and concord music group to release paul mccartney first new studio album in nearly two years featuring all new songs from the legendary artist .\nunsurprisingly , perhaps , those who take the experience of music\u2019s expressiveness to be a more intimately emotional one ( through being predicated on imaginative engagement with the music , say ) , tend to emphasize that experience as more central to musical understanding , and thus attribute a larger part of music\u2019s value to its expressiveness . those , on the other hand , whose theory of the experience of musical expressiveness is more distanced ( a matter of noticed resemblance , say ) , tend to place less weight on this element in their theories of musical value . at one extreme of this spectrum is the position that denies music to be expressive at all , and thus cannot attribute music\u2019s value to its expressiveness ( most notably hanslick 1854 ; see also zangwill 2004 ) . apart from this extreme position , most theorists agree that music\u2019s value is to be located in different kinds of experience , including the experience of formal and expressive features ; their disagreements are mostly about the relative weight of these different kinds of experiences in a complete account of musical value ."]}

passenger buses on long treks to pick up and transport a handful of rurally based school children . to collins , the sight of mostly empty , full - sized school buses traveling great distances was grossly inefficient . what was needed , he thought , were smaller buses better suited for transporting small groups of children . his vision soon led to the creation of the first under 10 , 000 gross vehicle weight school bus .\nfounded on ethical and responsible business practices , collins steel is an edmonton based structural steel and fabrication company that serves the commercial , institutional , industrial , and high -

as it grows , so does the hero ' s vitality ( maximum hit points ) , albeit at a slower rate . combat system is rather simple and is done in action style , with the player pressing a key or a mouse button while navigating the protagonist towards or away from the enemy . predating\n, the game has a day and night cycle , and the main character has to eat and rest .\nis notable for having a very vast world , usually considered the largest ever created for a video game at the time of its release . players can explore approximately 17 , 000 screens of terrain . the world is also interconnected , i . e . there are no transitions between different types of areas . items can be dropped by enemies as well as found anywhere in the game ' s world . there is also npc interaction and quests the protagonist can undertake .\nwith the notable exception of electronic arts , the established american software industry was uncertain what to make of the amiga in the wake of its initial release . impressive as the machine was , it was also an expensive proposition from a parent company best known for much cheaper computers \u2014 and a parent company that was in a financial freefall to boot . thus most publishers confined their support to inexpensive ports of existing titles that wouldn\u2019t break the bank if , as so many expected , neither commodore nor their amiga were still around in a year or so .\nthe faery tale adventure is the story of three brothers who set out to save their village of tambry from an evil necromancer . their quest will require one or more of them \u2014 if you get one of them killed , you automatically take the reins of another \u2014 to traverse the vast world of holm from end to end , a process that by itself could take you the player hours of real time if journeying entirely on foot . whilst traveling , you must also fight monsters and assemble the clues necessary to complete your quest .\nit\u2019s difficult to convey using words just how lovely and lyrical your journeys around holm can be . even screenshots don\u2019t do the faery tale adventure justice ; this is a game that really must be seen and heard in action . here , then , is just a little taste , in which i take a magical ride on the back of a giant turtle to visit a sorceress in her crystalline lair .\nif it\u2019s difficult to fully describe the experience of playing the faery tale adventure using words , it\u2019s doubly difficult to explain just how stunning it was in its day . note the depth - giving isometric perspective , still a rarity in games of the mid - 1980s . note the way that characters and things cast subtle shadows . and note how the entirety of the world is presented at the same scale . gone is the wilderness / town dichotomy of the ultima games , in which the latter blow up from tiny spots on the map to self - contained worlds of their own when you step into them . in the faery tale adventure , if it\u2019s small ( or big ) on the outside , it\u2019s small ( or big ) on the inside . i\u2019d also tell you to note the wonderful music , except that i\u2019m quite sure you already have ( assuming you have the sound turned on , of course ) . seldom has music made a game what it is to quite the extent it does this one .\nleaving aside the goal of actually solving the game , which is kind of hopeless \u2014 we\u2019ll get to that in a moment \u2014 the faery tale adventure is all about the rhythm of wandering , following roadways and peeking into hidden corners as the music plays and day turns to night and back again . like another early amiga landmark , defender of the crown , and unlike far too many other games on this platform and others , it has a textured aesthetic all its own that\u2019s much more memorable than the bloody action - movie pyrotechnics so typical of games then and now . play it just a little , and you\u2019ll never , ever forget it .\nthat every bit of this vast world and all that makes it up \u2014 code , art , and music alike \u2014 was created virtually unaided by david joiner in about seven months never ceases to amaze me . this leonardo had found his niche at last :\nit\u2019s ironic because when i was growing up i was never able to focus on one single creative outlet and ignore the others \u2014 and this was considered a disadvantage . people would tell me that i had to learn to focus on one thing . otherwise i would never be successful , just be a dilettante . i struggled to find a profession which would use all of my skills , not just some of them .\ndavid joiner all dressed up in his armor for the faery tale adventure package .\njim and i also differed in our approach to business ethics . he imagined himself to be a sharp dealer , and once boasted to me how he \u201csaved money\u201d in dealing with disk - duplication companies . you see , at the time there were companies which would do all the duplication work \u2014 that is , make copies of the floppy disks , print the packaging , and assemble the boxes . and many of these companies offered ninety - day terms \u2014 that is , you didn\u2019t have to pay for ninety days , so you could use the money you made selling the product to pay back the duplicators . this made it possible to be an entrepreneur with very little startup capital , other than the sweat equity of writing software .\nwell , jim\u2019s idea was that when the ninety days come up you simply refuse to pay \u2014 and then , eight months later when the duplicators eventually get around to suing you , you settle out of court for like one - third of the money . this same kind of playing fast and loose with the rules is what caused him to lose the hasbro [ sic . \u2014 i believe he means hanna - barbera ] contract , which up to that point had been an incredibly valuable asset to the company .\nby then joiner had long since moved on to greener pastures in games and other forms of software development , although he would never again helm quite so impactful a project as the faery tale adventure . the writing had been on the wall for software leonardos even as he was creating his masterwork . working with a new development team who called themselves the dreamer\u2019s guild , he did belatedly create halls of the dead : the faery tale adventure ii in 1997 . in the tradition of its predecessor , it looked and initially seemed to play great , but showed itself over time to be half - finished and well - nigh uncompleteable .\n( sources : computer gaming world of february 1988 and october 1991 ;

info of april 1992 . the home page of david joiner ( talin ) hasn\u2019t been updated since 2000 , but was nevertheless very useful . still more useful was an interview with joiner done by amiga lore . )\nthe music at the beginning of the game is a distorted mess in this version , the only otherwise working one i could find . this is down to one of the few differences between the amiga 1000 , for which the game was originally designed , and later amiga models \u2014 a sound pointer doesn\u2019t get automatically set in the latter . if you just give it a moment , the music will resolve from dissonance to consonance and will play as it should henceforward . i think it\u2019s kind of a cool effect , actually \u2014 but then i occasionally blast sonic youth , much to my wife\u2019s chagrin , so take that with a grain of salt .\nnote that you will need to answer a few copy - protection questions at the beginning by using the map included in the zip .\nfor those of you who are hopeless completionists , i\u2019ve also included with this zip the computer gaming world review that gives much valuable guidance on how to pursue your ( otherwise almost certainly futile ) quest .\nby far the easiest way to get started in amiga emulation and to play this game and the other amiga games i\u2019ll be featuring in this blog for quite some time to come is by purchasing cloanto\u2019s amiga forever package . it makes the whole process pretty painless . \u21a9\ni actually like that music bug , it reminds me of times , when i used to load ordinary ms - dos system files to fast tracker and used them as samples in my tracks .\nanyway , if anyone is interested : music bug is fixed in whdload version of the game .\nthis comment may be \u201cpathetic home team pride\u201d and a narrow excuse for one , but it did get my attention seeing that david joiner had programmed the radio shack color computer before getting into the amiga . i still might not have dared bring it up save for a brief note in your \u201cthe future was here\u201d that newtek\u2019s tim jemison had also programmed the color computer ; it at least lets me muse whether there was some particular attraction or advantage in moving from the motorola 6809 to the 68000 ( and i\u2019ve seen ads in \u201catari explorer\u201d magazine by a company called michtron , who had also run ads in the color computer magazine \u201cthe rainbow . \u201d ) \u201cbrand loyalty\u201d could have been a tricky thing with personal computers in the latter 1980s .\nin any case , i bought amiga forever a while ago and used to to get an emulator running , although i could definitely do more with it in the future .\nthere were a few color computer developers who migrated to the amiga , but i don\u2019t think it was down to any similarities between the 6809 and 68000 . it\u2019s my understanding that the 6809\u2019s assembly language was effectively a superset of the 6502\u2019s , such that if you knew 6502 assembly you could program the 6809 quite effectively . i\u2019ve never programmed the 6809 , but i have the 6502 and the 68000 , and they really are completely different architectures .\notherwise i have no great explanation . maybe a strange fondness for good computers that just don\u2019t get no respect ? no\u2026 probably just coincidence . : )\nleaving aside the goal of actually solving the game , which is kind of hopeless [ \u2026 ] it has a textured aesthetic all its own that\u2019s much more memorable than the bloody action - movie pyrotechnics so typical of games then and now . play it just a little , and you\u2019ll never , ever forget it .\neh , well , i played it a little , and i pretty much forgot it until now , despite the fact that i think i still have the square - folder - type c64 package out in the garage somewhere with the disk in it . i always found games like this too difficult , too easy to get killed when you\u2019re barely a few steps out of the starting town , or in some cases when your first adventures are still within it . ( see also drakken , bard\u2019s tale , knights of legend , etc . ) i wonder now if this was a way to squeeze out more gameplay hours , though in my case it meant more things ending up on the shelf afterwards untouched after about 30 minutes\u2019 play . ( i guess i\u2019m too much of a softie . )\nfair enough\u2026 but i would suggest that this is a game that really needs to be experienced on the amiga . ; )\nnice writeup . i bought the c64 version of this game from toys r us back in the day .\ni remember being amazed by the graphics and scope \u2013 but the loading times , oh man .\nminutes to enter a house , minutes to exit it . completely unplayable for an impatient kid !\n\u201cnote the way that characters and things cast subtle shadows that lengthen and change position as the sun works its way around the sky . \u201d\ni would say that not enough time passes in the video to make this clear , but , rather embarrassingly , i\u2019m now not at all sure that the effect is present at all . ( the shadows are , that is , but i\u2019m not sure they really change position . ) excised that bit in the name of erring on the side of caution . thanks !\n\u201cmoments of wonder , like the first time you hitch a ride on that turtle you see above \u2014 or , even better , on a majestic swan \u2014 do crop up from time to time , but far too infrequently . the final impression is of nothing so much as a beautiful world running inside a marvelous engine that\u2019s now just waiting for a designer to come along and , you know , write an actual game for it all . \u201d\nyou\u2019re right that there\u2019s a certain tension here , one that\u2019s shared with a lot of other sprawling old - school games like the ultimas . i feel like the best compromise might be to go ahead and include some crazy , secret easter eggs to reward the hardcore , but to make them non - essential to victory . this way you create a game that\u2019s solvable by everyone without destroying the joy of stumbling across the magical and unexpected for those people who want to plumb every depth and explore every nook and cranny . i\u2019m no expert on console games , but i believe that nintendo tended to be quite good at doing this .\nsame here ! interestingly , the first question on the amiga was always \u201cmake haste , but take\u2026 ? \u201d i believe there were about 10 questions , and the answers tended to rhyme somewhat .\nfight , might , right , night , knight , light , fright\u2026 . : )\ngreat write - up ! back then the graphics and music blew me away on the amiga 500 and they still do ( sadly on a emulator these days ) \u2026 . i even play this game now and then to bring back memories .\nwhen i read the story about joiner and his struggles around his creativity i felt somehow connected , which even enforced my admiration to the game and creator . i\u2019m also a creative guy and still searching for a project / way of living which demands on all my creativity ( music , writing , drawing , love for pixel art , almost the same as joiner except for the programming : ) ) .\ncoincidentally i\u2019ve just started to do some research to transcribe some of the game tunes for acoustic guitar ( complete with bass and melody , aka fingerpicking ) and make them playable / soundable while i\u2019m not playing the game . i probably will put it online when it is finished .\ni\u2019m quite a dreamer so a few days ago i thought even about launching a website / memorial for fta , where every single video , musical piece , game rom and art could be finded . or\u2026 . initiate a new version which stays close to the original , but with better balance and story line . but , you know , time is the evil man here . anyway , i would love to stay in contact with people and if anyone would initiate this kind of project i will be the first to offer help where possible .\na very fair and thoughtful appraisal of what probably was my favorite amiga game \u2013 it was for sure the one i spent most time on .\nat the time i found the ultima series too geeky and zelda too gamey . and i certainly wasn\u2019t interested in dungeon master or wizardy \u2013 those i found as unappealing as paper and pen rpgs . faery tale , however , was a breath of fresh air to me . the directness of a single - scale , seamless world : 17 000 smoothly scrolling screens which invited you to stroll around in the landscape of your childhood\u2019s fairy tales ! the music , of course , helped to make the experience intoxicatingly immersive .\ngraphically , too , it was way ahead . it made ultima iv look boring and it made the legend of zelda look crude . i find it mostly resembles ultima vii , which didn\u2019t arrive until 1992 , but it is also similar to chris roberts\u2019s c64 rpg times of lore from 1988 ( that game engine might be even more impressive than joiner\u2019s ) .\nit is true that the breadcrumbs from time to time are very sparsely dispersed . i did manage to solve the game but i also remember that i had some help from a hint page in either commodore user or computer & videogames . some solutions struck me as far - fetched but i reasoned that they probably only seemed so because i had a pirated copy and hadn\u2019t read the manual . i guess i was wrong about that .\nby the way , i just finished the future was here and enjoyed it immensely . i enjoyed the platform studies of atari vcs and nes too , but found the writing styles of those two books just a little cumbersome ( still very impressive works ) . i\u2019d love to read a c64 platform studies by you !\nsadly , the amiga platform never really stood a chance , commodore was a great technology company and horrible at marketing . the c64 is listed in the guinness world records as the highest - selling single computer model of all time .\nit was activision / mediagenic that was failing , they lost a multi - year patent infringement suit , they were not paying the affiliated labels , and to make matters worse , before they filed bankruptcy , activision / mediagenic \u201cstuffed\u201d the distribution channels with software from every affiliate , collected the money from the distributors , and didn\u2019t pay the affiliated labels . most affiliated labels went out of business when activision / mediagenic went under . those affiliated labels that tried to continue after activision / mediagenic bankruptcy were met with an insurmountable mountain of inventory \u201creturns\u201d from the distributors .\nthe hanna - barbara license ; games , paint and animation titles that were being developed for pc / amiga / atari / sega / gameboy all died with activision / mediagenic bankruptcy as did many other titles in development by the activision / mediagenic affiliated labels .\noh , man ! i had no idea so many of the software i remember from my childhood was the work of these guys . i never played fta , but remember discover , photon paint , and music - x \u2014 the latter two because my father paid for his amiga 2000 by making slideshows of available real estate for a local realtor , complete with synthesised sound track . iirc , he ended up using aegis sonix for its simpler interface , but i remember well fruit salad surgery and other demo songs included with music - x .\nerr , so * much * of the software . although i\u2019m sure i\u2019ll see other typos as soon as i click post .\na few days ago my husband was reading some other article about the faery tale adventure and asked if i remembered it . i said yeah , i never got very far , too easy to get killed early on and i had no idea what i was supposed to be doing ; what about it ? and he said \u201cit was basically all talin\u2019s work . \u201d cool , i thought , and figured you\u2019d written about it a while back and i would look it up . well , i can see i commented here about two years ago and apparently i totally breezed by the fact that this talin is the talin i know . like , i have gone to parties and gaming afternoons at his house , know . not to name - drop , it\u2019s just surreal for me to have figured this out ! probably i missed the fact before because the photo in the armor doesn\u2019t look terribly much like he does now \u2013 a lot less hair , for one thing \u2013 although now that i know who it is , i can see it facially .\nthis game gave me , my wife and \u2013 much later \u2013 my kids a huge amount of enjoyment . it does take a while to figure out what you have to do but it builds up and there are a few ways of going about things ( i got the midnight meeting at the graveyard but missed the hidden desert city ) . i\u2019ve never been an ace game player but did finish this and enjoyed the finale , when it seemed like the developer was having a bit of fun ( it\u2019s not obvious at first you have to turn around and go in backwards ) .\nfair criticism about some of the long walks . when you find the teleportation rings and later the swan , things move along a little faster . also fair comment about invincibility versus early extreme vulnerability . the suspense music loses its effect when you have too much strength further on in the game , as most of the attackers don\u2019t pose much of a problem ( archers are still a pain though ) .\nbut the atmospherics are great . changing music and light with time of day , needing food and sleep , being able to swim depending on your strength , finding a raft on the river \u2013 and of course the turtle .\noverall a ground - breaking game with its contextual music and unconstrained geography . but most of all the game , as you say , has some sort of magic \u2013 once you get into it \u2013 that stays with you .\nsave my name , email , and website in this browser for the next time i comment .\nthis site uses akismet to reduce spam . learn how your comment data is processed .\nif you value this blog , please think about supporting it by becoming a patreon patron or via a one -

sometimes they are somewhat stylised , assyrian looking , and toward the end of his career he would get out a palette knife and chop up the flanks of his panthers and bears into angular shapes .\nwhen the great war came the antwerp zoo had to kill most of its livestock , many of which bugatti had lovingly sculpted . the artist , already depressed , was so broken by this that in 1916 , he bought himself a bunch of flowers , lay down on his bed with them and gassed himself . he was 31 .\nthe fascinating thing about bugatti is that the history of art may be teeming with tales of artists being in love with their models \u2013 think rembrandt van rijn and saskia , think picasso and dora maar , think freud and about 25 women \u2013 but this gentle italian\u2019s devotion to his subjects must rank among the most touching . bugatti was besotted with animals . he made his models on a scale of 18 inches or so , as most animal sculptors do , less because the thing could sit neatly on a desk and more so that he could model \u201clive\u201d and quickly in front of the beast of his choice .\nin pictures - the story of love and romance : from adam and eve to tinder and chemsex . compiled by martin chilton\n19th & early 20th century sculpture also at : sladmore contemporary , 32 bruton place , off berkeley square , london w1j 6nw . tel : 020 7499 0365 fax : 020 7409 1381 . speciality : contemporary and modern paintings & sculpture artists include : barye , bernard , bourdelle , bugatti , csaky , dalou , pompon , steinlen , maillol , degas , rodin , troubetzkoy sandoz\nmasterpiece ' s exhibitors span all eras and disciplines and include many of the world ' s most distinguished art dealerships . scrupulous vetting and thoughtful juxtaposition allow one to encounter beautiful works of art , have one ' s eyes opened to the unfamiliar , and buy with confidence .\nthe history of art may be teeming with artists in love with their models but this italian sculptor was besotted with animals , says serena davies .\none time , he became so entranced with a pair of antelopes at antwerp zoo , his favourite hangout , that he had them taken to his studio in paris so that he could do their portraits in life size . horswell calls bugatti\u2019s sculptures \u201cportraits\u201d because they\u2019re so sensitive to their individual subjects , and they are certainly sculpted with a sweet sympathy that you don\u2019t get in the more savage pieces by the great french animal sculptor antoine louis barye .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\n\u00a9 2018 masterpiece london ltd masterpiece is a registered trademark of masterpiece london limited . masterpiece london ltd is held with a majority stake by mch group ltd . \u00ae rbc is a registered trademark of royal bank of canada . used under license .\nplease tick if you do not wish to receive information from masterpiece london about future fairs .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nnever marrying , disliking groups of people , there\u2019s no doubt rembrandt preferred animals to human beings . one sad fact tells us this most clearly ."]}

be artists appropriating underclass lifestyles in order to develop artistic sensibilities outside those upheld by the bourgeois , acted as a sort of release from these societal pressures .\ndisclaimer : these essay extracts are very literary in nature as i\u2019m an english scholar . that said , the social history / causality i present , while general , is accurate . furthermore i\u2019m not nearly as marxist as this essay may suggest , but almost all of the work on bohemianism necessarily involves some marxist thought due to the huge importance bohemian authors place on class - consciousness and a self - identification with the underclass / lumpenproletariat .\ntl : dr definition of bohemianism : bohemianism was initially established in reference to impoverished artists living in the latin quarter of mid - 19th century industrial paris . it is predicated on the notion of living \u201coutside\u201d of society in a way that is define directly against the socio - economic norms of the period , usually a middle - class - bourgeoisie type construct , hence the labeling of numerous later counter culture movements like hippies and beats as similarly \u201cbohemian\u201d . this performative \u201clife on the fringe of society\u201d is at the core of what defines bohemian behavior , but there is also an emphasis on voicing criticisms of mainstream lifestyle through art , music , or literature . accordingly there is a history of works that either attack popular society or explore the benefits / experience of living outside of it being labelled or self - identifying as\nbohemian\n, such as miller\u2019s tropic of cancer or kerouac\u2019s on the road .\ni\u2019m going to go ahead and post my response here rather than the original question cited by american _ graffiti because my answer is not about the semantics of the word \u201cbohemianism\u201d , which is very much an arbitrary social signifier that has little to do with the country of bohemia itself and was effectively discussed by algernon _ asimov . instead i want to designate what came to constitute \u201cbohemian\u201d behavior and why it might be applied to different forms of writing across the 19th and 20th century .\nbohemianism was essentially the first \u2018counter - culture\u2019 . in the 18th century \u2018society\u2019 is largely populated by nobility , an upper - echelon of elites who\u2026 owned everything and controlled culture by way of their pocket - books . the between the 18th and 19th centuries we see a rise in industrialism , which accordingly brought wealth out of the hands of the very few and slowly started disseminating it to the masses . disposable income becomes an actual thing for the middle - class and that disposable income went increasingly to entertainment .\nyet it is important to note that murger cannot be deemed hypocritical in using his own experience of bohemianism as a means to bourgeois ends due to the aforementioned loose definition of both these terms . murger was as genuine a bohemian as can be , evidenced in his friendship with some of the greatest bohemian artists of 19th century paris such as nadar , courbet , and baudelaire ( seigal 38 ) . his work was a personal interpretation of bohemia that fulfilled a need to codify it as a unique social phenomenon .\n\u201cwhile henri murger and charles baudelaire could not be more different as artists , they share a common bond in their association with early bohemianism . through this , they can be placed side - by - side as respective representations of its initial social and ideological contributions . with one popularizing the romanticized image of bohemia within the public sphere and the other demonstrating it\u2019s potential as a means to autonomous artistic achievement , each author lay part of the foundation for a counter - culture that would produce rich works of literature long after their deaths .\nbohemianism is not a \u2018movement\u2019 as we typically use the term in the art - world , as bohemians were not implicitly \u2018out to change\u2019 the status - quo nor were they outright declaring themselves as desperate from the rest of society . they were a marginalized group of people by society writ - large . as a culture of people their works by and large do not survive or are absorbed into broader artistic movements . as a group and part of society they did influence many works and have had lasting effects in literature , music and fashion .\nthe first usage of the term bohemianism in its current meaning was by french journalist f\u00e9lix pyat in 1834 in an article called\nles artistes\n. he derogatorily described this personality type as\nalien and bizarre . . . outside the law , beyond the reaches of society . . . they are the bohemians of today\n( tr . levi asher ) . the term became commonplace in the 1850s when the writer henri murger began publishing and staging a series of stories called la vie de boh\u00e8me which would eventually become the world - known puccini opera la boh\u00e8me .\nmark twain included himself and charles warren stoddard in the bohemian category in 1867 . by 1872 , when a group of journalists and artists who gathered regularly for cultural pursuits in san francisco were casting about for a name , the term bohemian became the main choice , and the bohemian club was born . club members who were established and successful , pillars of their community , respectable family men , redefined their own form of bohemianism to include people like them who were bons vivants , sportsmen , and appreciators of the fine arts . club member and poet george sterling responded to this redefinition :\nsoon they became subjects of some very important works in a variety of mediums . vanity fair is considered by many to chronicle bohemianism as it details they struggle of a poor person trying to integrate herself into polite society . la boheme is entirely about groups of bohemians living in paris . in the opera carmen , the lead character is described as \u2018a gypsy girl\u201d . these works , by and large are not created by bohemians themselves but rather a group of artists who are flirting with the period known as romanticism . it was the romantics who idealized the bohemians and popularized them to the world .\nthe term has become associated with various artistic or academic communities and is used as a generalized adjective describing such people , environs , or situations : bohemian ( boho\u2014informal ) is defined in the american college dictionary as \u201ca person with artistic or intellectual tendencies , who lives and acts with no regard for conventional rules of behavior . \u201d many prominent european and american figures of the last 150 years belonged to the bohemian subculture , and any comprehensive \u201clist of bohemians\u201d would be tediously long . bohemianism has been approved of by some bourgeois writers such as honor\u00e9 de balzac , but most conservative cultural critics do not condone bohemian lifestyles .\nbohemia meant any place where one could live and work cheaply , and behave unconventionally ; a community of free souls beyond the pale of respectable society . several cities and neighborhoods came to be associated with bohemianism in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries : in europe : montmartre and montparnasse in paris ; chelsea , fitzrovia , and soho in london ; schwabing in munich ; skadarlija in belgrade ; tab\u00e1n in budapest . in the united states : greenwich village in new york city ; venice beach , california ; topanga , california ; and tiburon , california . in australia : newtown and potts point , sydney and fitzroy in melbourne .\nmark twain included himself and charles warren stoddard in the bohemian category in 1867 . [ 6 ] by 1872 , when a group of journalists and artists who gathered regularly for cultural pursuits in san francisco were casting about for a name , the term bohemian became the main choice , and the bohemian club was born . [ 9 ] club members who were established and successful , pillars of their community , respectable family men , redefined their own form of bohemianism to include people like them who were bons vivants , sportsmen , and appreciators of the fine arts . [ 8 ] club member and poet george sterling responded to this redefinition :\nnouveau : bohemians with money who attempt to join traditional bohemianism with contemporary culture gypsy : the expatriate types , they create their own gypsy nirvana wherever they go beat : also drifters , but non - materialist and art - focused zen : \u201cpost - beat , \u201d focus on spirituality rather than art dandy : no money , but try to appear as if they have it by buying and displaying expensive or rare items \u2013 such as brands of alcohol [ 18 ] maxwell bodenheim , an american poet and novelist , was known as the king of greenwich village bohemians during the 1920s and his writing brought him international fame during the jazz age .\nany good mixer of convivial habits considers he has a right to be called a bohemian . but that is not a valid claim . there are two elements , at least , that are essential to bohemianism . the first is devotion or addiction to one or more of the seven arts ; the other is poverty . other factors suggest themselves : for instance , i like to think of my bohemians as young , as radical in their outlook on art and life ; as unconventional , and , though this is debatable , as dwellers in a city large enough to have the somewhat cruel atmosphere of all great cities . ( parry , 2005 ) .\nthe parisian\nbohemia\nin which the puccini ' s opera was originally set was a world portrayed by three writers : henri murger , alexandre privat , and jules vall\u00e8s . murger was the first to write about it , in a set of short stories serialized in a small newspaper in 1846 , later turned into a sell - out play in 1849 and then a book in 1851 . it is his\nbohemia\nwhich relates directly to puccini ' s opera ; it is his characters - - rodolfo , mim\u00ec , schaunard , marcello , colline , musetta , et al - - that are portrayed there . in his hands , bohemianism became a cult , all the rage .\nthe first chapter draws on an unfinished poem , walt whitman ' s\nthe vault at pfaff ' s ,\nto introduce several of the book ' s most important strands of analysis . since the poem refers to the restaurant and beer salon on broadway where the self - proclaimed bohemians met , levin unfolds the significance of the scene ( on which see also the vault at pfaff ' s ) . treating the community assembled there as the nucleus for bohemia ' s dispersal to western locales , she traces the lives of the participants in other chapters and links other manifestations of bohemia back to this inaugural cultural moment . the results are mixed . while levin ' s readings of whitman ' s poem shed light on the cultural significance of pfaff ' s , she is less convincing in her attempt to reread whitman through the lens of bohemianism . we are told , for instance , that in the frontispiece to the 1855 leaves of grass , whitman adopts the pose of a bohemian . this provocative suggestion challenges the conventional reading of whitman as a laboring\nrough ,\nlinks his work to a larger cultural archive , and adds a new turn to his self - fashioning . but ultimately , the significance of this insight doesn ' t become fully clear . since bohemianism exemplifies the self - contradictory multiplicity that we already associate with whitman , it does not offer a new methodology for reading his works .\nchapter 6 also introduces some of the ways in which bohemia promoted the\nunsettling of national characteristics .\nthough boggs suggests that my\nnationalization of bohemianism\noverlooks this\nunsettling ,\ni do in fact argue that bohemia challenged various national characteristics and strictures . for example , i analyze representations of the ethnic restaurants in new york city and san francisco that were characterized as\nbohemian\nin contemporary guidebooks and stories .\nwithin such accounts ,\ni argue ,\nbohemia annexes the foreign for the \u0091delectation ' of the united states . yet , while providing a quasi - imperial stage for cosmopolitan consumption , bohemia also constituted a liminal space , a \u0091world peculiar to itself ' where national boundaries and identities might become less entrenched\n( 295 ) . similarly , at the end of chapter 6 , i discuss the cosmopolitan space of\nblack bohemia .\nanalyzing the writings of james weldon johnson , i argue that johnson\ncontinued to posit a gap between the \u0091racial ' and the \u0091national , ' and it was at this juncture that black bohemia proved most crucial to his cultural geography\n( 336 ) . these arguments are developed at length in the chapter , and both complicate the\nnationalization of bohemianism .\nfinally , i also describe how conceptions of american national identity began to change , so that\nnational characteristics\nwould not simply become static\nstraw - figures\naround which bohemian mobility revolved .\nto staid old philadelphia , then , attention should be directed , while a review is made of its now famous sketch club , where bohemianism is not forced , like a hot - house plant , but thrives in a natural state , and where fellowship exists without becoming tiresome . the philadelphia sketch club was organized november 20 , 1860 , by six young enthusiasts who met in the studio of george f . bensell . meetings were to be held every saturday night , and , as one of the rules stated , \u201cwhen the treasury is ill need of funds it is to be replenished by a subscription levied on each member , not exceeding twelve cents . \u201d the struggle for life was hard , despite such dues .\nany good mixer of convivial habits considers he has a right to be called a bohemian . but that is not a valid claim . there are two elements , at least , that are essential to bohemianism . the first is devotion or addiction to one or more of the seven arts ; the other is poverty . other factors suggest themselves : for instance , i like to think of my bohemians as young , as radical in their outlook on art and life ; as unconventional , and , though this is debatable , as dwellers in a city large enough to have the somewhat cruel atmosphere of all great cities . [ 10 ] despite his views , sterling associated very closely with the bohemian club , and caroused with artist and industrialist alike at the bohemian grove .

[ 6 ] similar groups in other cities were broken up as well ; reporters spread out to report on the conflict . during the war , correspondents began to assume the title \u201cbohemian\u201d , and newspapermen in general took up the moniker . bohemian became synonymous with newspaper writer . [ 6 ] in 1866 , war correspondent junius henri browne , who wrote for the new york tribune and harper\u2019s magazine , described \u201cbohemian\u201d journalists such he was , as well as the few carefree women and lighthearted men he encountered during the war years . [ 7 ]\njoel rinaldo\u2019s was one of the all - night eating and drinking places that thrived around times square in new york before the first world war . \u201crefreshery\u201d was an unusual term that probably related more to drinking than to eating since saloon owners often referred to their offerings as \u201crefreshments . \u201d\nexactly when joel\u2019s opened is unclear but chances are it was in the late 1890s . the real estate parcel at 206 west 41st street that became joel\u2019s was part of his father\u2019s estate when he died in 1895 .\nlooking at these 1910 - ish postcards of joel\u2019s you might be misled into thinking it was an elegant after - theatre spot . it attracted all kinds of late - night visitors but was mainly famous as a hangout for musicians , artists , writers , heavy drinkers , \u201chop - heads , \u201d and mexican revolutionaries . in 1910 the restaurant was the headquarters of the mexican liberal party opposed to the presidency of general porfirio diaz . the short story writer o . henry was a regular also , though he may have spent more time drinking in the first - floor bar than eating in the caf\u00e9 on the second floor . it is likely that el refugio , a caf\u00e9 described in o . henry\u2019s short story \u201cthe gold that glittered , \u201d was based on joel\u2019s .\none of the most popular dishes at joel\u2019s was chili con carne , a dish not easily found in new york in the early 20th century . he also served tamales and \u201cfrijoles colorado . \u201d in addition to mexican dishes , joel concocted a drink that became famous \u2013 or , more likely , notorious \u2014 called a blue moon . only one to a customer but that was enough reportedly to \u201ckeep the patron pleasantly mellow the rest of the evening . \u201d\njoel\u2019s walls were filled with drawings , which can be seen on in the image above . some were by caricaturist carlo de fornaro who spent time in jail after being successfully sued by a mexican official in ny courts for libelous statements fornaro made in his book , diaz , czar of mexico . joel , born in nyc around 1870 , also had intellectual ambitions , was attracted to psychology and philosophy , and wrote an obscure treatise against darwin\u2019s account of evolution called rinaldo\u2019s polygeneric theory .\njoel took a paternalistic role toward many of his patrons , keeping prices low and announcing on a gilt sign that touring actors and musicians ( he was near the metropolitan opera house ) could send him their money and he would keep it safe for them . it is said that many took him up on the offer . perhaps his motive for keeping a bank was to insure that eventually he would get paid , to offset all the bad checks he took from his erratic patrons .\nthe interesting thing about bohemian places like joel\u2019s was how they loosened up a middle class still under the spell of victorian correctness . after a few hours in a heady atmosphere like this and they\u2019d be talking to strangers ( without even being introduced ! ) , singing out loud , and ordering drinks all around .\ntagged as 1910s , all - night restaurants , bohemians , joel ' s , mexican food , new york city , o . henry , times square\nthere was additionally a student - run meals co - op that sourced every kind of tougher to search out ( in these days ) well being meals .\nthis is for rod richardson . you say you have more pictures of joel\u2019s refreshery ?

( sarah l . voisin / the washington post )\nmontgomery officials are under no illusions about the county\u2019s image among the washington region\u2019s young : boring .\n\u201cwe\u2019re a little sleepy , \u201d said county council member roger berliner ( d - potomac - bethesda ) . \u201cwe go to bed early . \u201d\nfor all its prosperity and family - friendly suburban appeal , montgomery is in the throes of a midlife crisis . that angst has led to a new item at the top of the public policy agenda : a yearning to be hip .\ncounty executive isiah leggett wants to make montgomery more competitive with the district and arlington county for the coveted millennial demographic , or \u201cgeneration y\u201d \u2014 roughly defined as those between ages 18 and 34 . plans include a revised set of policies that officials hope will spawn the next u street corridor , adams morgan or clarendon \u2014 dynamic , walkable communities where the young will not only play but also live and work .\nleggett ( d ) is expected to announce the formation of a \u201ctask force on the night time economy\u201d to study ways to enliven the bar , music and after - hours dining scenes in communities including bethesda , rockville and silver spring .\nthe panel , whose members are still being recruited , will consider everything from loosened liquor laws and noise ordinances to relaxed regulations covering urban amenities that connect people : food trucks , cafes , outdoor movies . \u201cyou have to make the county more appealing , \u201d leggett said . \u201cyou have to make sure that sense of vitality is there . \u201d\nthis is similar to the theory of change promoted for the past decade by university of toronto urbanist richard florida , who says cities can regenerate economically by attracting a robust \u201ccreative class . \u201d that means young professionals in technology fields along with musicians , artists , gay people , writers and creative elites he calls \u201chigh bohemians . \u201d\ncouncil member hans riemer ( d - at large ) , who with council member marc elrich ( d - at large ) is a principal advocate of the task force , said the county needs more of a return on its enormous investment in its public school students .\n\u201cafter we spend , what , $ 150 , 000 in this county to educate them ? \u201d asked riemer ( actually closer to $ 180 , 000 from kindergarten through 12th grade , schools officials estimate ) . \u201cand where do they go ? they move to clarendon . they move to d . c . \u201d\nthe county\u2019s concern is reflected in the data . according to the census bureau\u2019s american community survey , 36 percent of arlington\u2019s population is between ages 20 and 34 . montgomery\u2019s proportion is 19 percent , trailing the district ( 31 percent ) , prince george\u2019s county ( 23 percent ) and fairfax county ( 20 percent ) .\nthe county\u2019s share of residents ages 25 to 34 grew just 4 . 6 percent between 2000 and 2010 . montgomery also has the highest percentage of seniors among jurisdictions in the capital region . the number of residents ages 55 to 64 grew by more than 50 percent between 2000 and 2010 . and the 65 - to - 74 bracket is up 24 percent in the past decade , a threefold increase from 1990 to 2000 .\n\u201cwe are aging faster than we probably anticipated , \u201d leggett said . the traditional , suburban montgomery will not disappear , he said , but for the tax base to grow \u2014 and to help support a burgeoning aging - in - place population \u2014 a new county has to take root alongside the old .\nson , andrew , a richard montgomery high school graduate who is now a junior at tufts university in boston . she doubts that andrew will return permanently after graduation .\nwhen he comes home on holidays , \u201ci watch him struggling to find different places to hang out , \u201d said qi ( pronounced \u201cchee\u201d ) . one recent favorite : the quince orchard library branch in gaithersburg . \u201cwe need more places for people to hang out , \u201d said qi , who began to develop the nighttime - economy task force at leggett\u2019s behest , part of what has been dubbed the \u201cnew montgomery initiative . \u201d it\u2019s not just spaces for the young , she emphasizes . the goal is to make montgomery \u2014 already a multicultural county that has turned \u201cmajority - minority\u201d\u2014 truly multi - generational .\n\u201cwe want to create opportunities for the young and hip , and the older with hip replacements , \u201d she said .\nbut the immediate focus is likely to be the millennials , and it will start with night life . although the redeveloped silver spring is a success on many levels , riemer said it is \u201cnot even close\u201d to being a hipster magnet .\n\u201cit\u2019s the best we\u2019ve got , but we\u2019ve got to take it to the next level , \u201d he said . that means more music venues like the fillmore , along with practice space for musicians . new hotel options would also help . riemer said he has heard that bands playing the fillmore won\u2019t stay in silver spring because they turn their noses up at the hotels .\n\u201cthey don\u2019t want to trash a room that keith richards trashed in the \u201960s , \u201d he said .\ndale rodman , a silver spring musician and montgomery native , said a major music festival with mainstream bands \u201cwould generate some good energy . \u201d\n\u201cit\u2019s tough when you\u2019re next door to d . c . , \u201d said rodman , 24 , whose rock - reggae group , dale and the zdubs , plays all over the region . \u201cit takes a lot of the cred and a lot of the hype . \u201d\nthen there are the millennials themselves , who find the county \u201cbrand\u201d sedately suburban , or at best \u201curban - lite . \u201d\n\u201cmontgomery county is . . . silver spring , right ? \u201d asked bianca blomquist , 24 , a lobbyist who lives in columbia heights . \u201cwent up to eat there a couple of times . wasn\u2019t bad . seemed all right for a suburb . . . it\u2019s kind of cookie - cutter . at least i perceive it to be that way a little more . \u201d\n\u201cmaybe after 35 , but i\u2019ve never perceived myself as an in - betweener . i either want an urban setting or a rural setting . but the in - between ? i don\u2019t like it that much . \u201d\nofficials also want to take a look at liquor laws that have left silver spring and other parts of the county \u201cunder - barred , \u201d as one planner put it , meaning a shortage of places for people to meet and drink .\none issue is a law requiring establishments to maintain an even split in their food and alcohol sales .\n\u201cthe ratio has probably outlived its usefulness , \u201d said kathie durbin , a division chief for the county\u2019s department of liquor control . she explained that the measure probably dates to the end of prohibition , when drinks were 50 cents . in the era of the $ 12 martini , a 50 - 50 split makes less sense . durbin is also working on a plan that would allow certain businesses to sell \u201cgrowlers , \u201d the half - gallon jugs of craft beer patrons can fill at breweries and take home .\nthe county has great hopes for hipness in the massive white flint redevelopment along rockville pike . while developers envision high - rises and high - end stores , there are also plans for smaller , moderately priced living spaces , with walkable streets and coffee shops , yoga studios and casual dining in the busboys and poets mold .\n\u201cwhat we\u2019re hoping for is that this will be the alternative downtown , \u201d said lindsay hoffman , executive director of friends of white flint , the nonprofit group of developers , residents and other stakeholders supporting the project . \u201cwe\u2019re hoping that this will be a good alternative with a variety of housing options at a variety of price points . \u201d\nlast week , the rockville - based tower cos . announced that it would overhaul its blairs apartment complex in silver spring according to new urbanist specs , with new units , wide walking trails and green space . \u201cthis is a suburb that\u2019s becoming a city , \u201d said bing thom , one of the architects hired by tower to design the makeover .\nto fully realize the vision of becoming a millennial magnet , the county faces formidable hurdles , none bigger than mobility . without transit - friendly neighborhoods , the area will probably never draw the kind of young energy and talent it desires .\nmontgomery is still looking for the billions it will take to pay for three major projects that have been on the boards for years : the light - rail purple line between bethesda and new carrollton , the corridor cities transitway to connect upper montgomery with the shady grove metrorail station , and a network of express bus lanes to link commuting corridors .\nsome millennials see moving to a place like montgomery at some point , just not while they\u2019re young .\n\u201cif you\u2019re in your early 20s , it\u2019s probably not a great idea to move to montgomery county if you can avoid it , \u201d matt lyons , 24 , a business consultant who grew up in columbia and lives near thomas circle . \u201cbut i think once you hit that certain age where you\u2019re ready to start calming things down , then i think it\u2019s a great place to be . \u201d\nthis classic novel of bohemian life by henry murger is based on a series of magazine sketches later made into a successful play . the novel is a series of loosely united chapters beginning with the first meeting of the four main characters (\ngustave colline , the great philosopher , marcel , the great painter , schaunard , the great musician , and rodolphe , the great poet\n[ 123 ] ) and ending with their departure from bohemia in favor of bourgeois life . jules janin called the book\na first chapter in the code of youth\n( qtd . in maurice 111 ) .\nhis purpose in telling the story , he said , was to glorify and legitimize bohemia .\nscenes de la vie de boheme is only a series of social studies , the heros of which belong to a class badly - judged until now , whose greatest crime is lack of order , and who can even plead in excuse that this very lack of order is a necessity of the life they lead\n( 36 ) , wrote murger at the end of the first chapter .\nmusetta waters flowers in the middle of the night . she had told marcel that she would stay with him as long as the flowers lived , and each evening without his noticing she got out of bed to care for them ( 81 ) . illustration by montader ."]}
